【HP】I don’t want to fall in love, I just want to mess around

When school started today, Dumbledore did not hide his right hand from the students, so everyone was curious about his suddenly blackened hand. However, looking at his energetic look, although everyone was curious, they inexplicably thought that this was something for Dumbledore. It's just a small problem.

"Your hand?"

Cedric looked shocked. It seemed that he didn't notice the problem with Dumbledore's right hand.

"It's just a small problem." Dumbledore said easily: "This is why I say your guess is correct. I have destroyed a Horcrux, and this hand is the price."

Cedric was even more shocked: "That means you already knew about the Horcrux and found it, right?"

"It wasn't very early." Dumbledore said, "I only suspected it recently, and then I traced my memory to search for possible Horcrux whereabouts. I was lucky enough to find one."

"One?" Cedric immediately grasped the point: "That means you think the Dark Lord didn't just make a Horcrux, right?"

Dumbledore nodded: "I think so."

Cedric was already shocked beyond measure. He turned his head and saw a trace of confusion on Esther's face. He thought she didn't understand what a Horcrux was. He hesitated and explained: "A Horcrux requires very deep black magic. Production, the producer splits his soul through killing as a medium, and attaches his soul to an object. This object carries the soul of the producer, and this soul can be used to resurrect the producer after his death."

Although Esther was not confused about this, Esther was still very grateful to Cedric for his thoughtfulness. She looked a little shocked, and then thought about it and said: "Do Horcruxes have to be objects? Living creatures cannot be used as Horcruxes. ?"

Cedric was stunned for a moment.

Dumbledore looked at her with a deep look and said calmly: "There is no case to prove this, but equally, there is no evidence to prove that it is not possible."

"Wouldn't that be more complicated?" Cedric frowned deeply: "If this is the case, how can we determine how many Horcruxes the Dark Lord has? Where are these Horcruxes hidden?"

As he spoke, he sighed in frustration: "I thought I discovered the Dark Lord's secret, but it didn't help you much."

Dumbledore said: "No, you brought me very important information. At least we now know that another Horcrux is likely to be Ravenclaw's crown. Now all we need to do is find the crown and determine who it is." A total of several Horcruxes were made.”

Of course Esther knew what all the Horcruxes were, but Cedric couldn't tell her clearly, so she had to remain silent for the time being.

After Cedric and Dumbledore finished talking about these things, they were about to leave. Before leaving, he promised Dumbledore that he would continue to help find Horcruxes in the dark, and repeatedly said: "If there is anything you need my help with, Please do come to me, I'll be happy to help you and I'll be happy to help Hogwarts."

After saying these words, he hugged Esther again and whispered to her: "Tell Qiu for me that everything is fine with me. I will definitely go to her during the Christmas vacation. Also, I miss her very much."

Esther: Why can my boyfriend be so considerate?

She sighed inwardly, but waved to him with a big smile on her face: "Don't worry, I will definitely tell Qiu every word!"

Cedric nodded to her again and left.

She and Dumbledore were the only ones left in the principal's office. Most of the portraits hanging on the wall were asleep, snoring slightly, and some were sleeping with their eyes closed, secretly paying attention to the situation here.

"So, why are you asking me to meet Senior Seid today?"

Esther finally asked the question in her heart.

Dumbledore asked her to sit down wherever she wanted, and pushed the candies and snacks on the table to indicate to her how to get what she wanted.

"There's no reason, I just thought it might make you feel more relaxed and happy to know how Cedric is doing lately."

Esther was indeed very happy, but when her eyes fell on Dumbledore's withered and black right hand, her happiness quickly dissipated.

"I know how many Horcruxes Voldemort has and what they are." She said, "I can tell you."

Dumbledore shook his head: "You don't need to tell me that destroying Horcruxes is indeed important, but the most important thing is not this. Maybe you understand what I think is the most important thing?"

Esther hesitated and guessed: "The relationship between Harry and Voldemort?"

Dumbledore nodded: "Yes, I have always had this guess but I am not sure. So, does Harry have a part of Voldemort's soul?"

Esther sighed: "You are right. When Voldemort wanted to kill Harry, he was killed by the rebound. Some of the soul fragments fell on Harry. That's why Harry could speak Parseltongue and communicate with Voldemort. There is a connection. In a sense, Voldemort did choose Harry, so Harry became the savior."

Speaking of this, Esther suddenly remembered something. She took out a small box from her pocket and handed it to Dumbledore: "I have always forgotten to give you this."

Dumbledore opened the box and found a small crystal ball inside: "Is this the crystal ball that stores the prophecy?"

"That's right." Esther said, "That day in the Department of Mysteries, I copied the crystal ball while the Death Eaters were not paying attention, and then destroyed the copy. I kept this one with me and forgot to return it to Harry. , and Harry didn't write to me all summer to ask for it."

Dumbledore put away the crystal ball: "It's not that he never wrote to you, it's just that you didn't receive the letters he wrote."

Esther's eyes widened in shock: "What do you mean by this?"

Dumbledore explained: "The meaning is very simple, that is, your parents don't want you to get involved in these things, but it seems that you think differently from your parents."

Esther was in disbelief. She never expected that her parents would play this trick on her, so she stuttered a little when she spoke: "I...I didn't expect it at all...this is really..."

She was a little angry, but Dumbledore noticed his emotion and comforted him: "It is indeed wrong for them to do this, but I hope you can understand your parents' painstaking efforts. They have actually made the decision to let you return to Hogwarts." Choice, you are a very persistent child, and sometimes they are quite helpless towards you."

Esther knew that Dumbledore was right. She took a deep breath to calm down: "I know Professor."

She was silent for a few seconds and then brought the topic back: "So you still want to stick to your plan? If you don't stick to it, maybe... maybe you can still survive."
