Hogwarts in the shadows

Theodore went to Lucius to help him find the Gringotts keys hidden by the prisoners.

After all, these guys are quite good at hiding, and Lucius may not be able to find them just by talking.

However, surprisingly, Lucius and Weasley sent an invitation letter to Heffie almost at the same time.

The content was surprisingly consistent, all about the upcoming Quidditch World Cup final.

The two teams facing off are Ireland and Bulgaria.

They had both gotten tickets and were hoping that Hefice and Hermione would be able to go together to watch the game on Monday.

Hefeth had no interest in the Quidditch World Cup.

The main reason was that he was deeply hurt by a ball sport in his previous life.

But considering Hermione's current obsession with studying, he decided to go after all.

At least I can take Hermione out to relax.

As for whose invitation to accept, it was of course Lucius.

After all, Snape told Hermione to stay away from "Potter".

Of course there is another reason which cannot be any smaller.

It's just that Hermione seems to have a natural liking for ugly things, and she really likes weird things.

And he is so handsome that he might even be a minus point in Hermione's eyes.

Heffers wrote back to both men and then returned to his home in South Kensington.

At this time, Hermione had just finished class and was reading a book called "History of the Crusades" carefully.

She sat quietly on the sofa, her eyes fixed on the pages of the book, her face serious.

Her fair skin glowed slightly in the sunlight.

The only thing that seemed a little discordant was that she turned the pages very quickly, taking only five seconds to turn each page.

"Hermione, I have something I want to discuss with you." Hephis said softly.

Hermione looked up, her eyes a little tired, "What's wrong, Hephis?"

"The Quidditch World Cup final will be held in the UK in a few days, and I want to go with you." Hephis said with a smile.

"Don't you have any interest in Quidditch?" Hermione asked a little confused.

"I heard that the British team has a good chance of winning the championship this time. As British people, we have to go to the scene to cheer them on," Hefeth explained.

There was a hint of hesitation in Hermione's eyes.

School is about to start soon, and she feels that the more she studies, the worse she gets, so she doesn't want to waste time.

"Hermione, knowledge needs to be digested slowly. You have learned a lot recently, and now you need to understand and digest it well." Hefeis said gently, "Also, learning also requires a combination of work and rest. If you overuse your brain like this, you will become more and more confused."

Hermione looked at Hephis and quickly understood his thoughts.

She finally closed the book in her hands, "Thank you, Hephis."

Hephis took Hermione's hand and said, "Relax and relax. I'll call Snape and the others, and we'll get together."

Hermione snuggled gently against Hephis's chest, feeling the warmth coming from him.

Ever since she understood Hephis's thoughts.

She kept thinking about how she could help Hephis.

She longed to become stronger, strong enough to stand beside Hephaest and fight alongside him through force alone.

But ever since she practiced magic with Hephis, she realized how naive she was.

Even if she tried her best, she couldn't get Hephis to use his wand, or even to move a step.

Hermione always boasts that she is extremely smart and strives to be the best in everything, especially in her studies.

But when facing Hephis, the deep feeling of powerlessness and frustration made her realize that there are differences in genius.

After a long period of careful consideration, Hermione finally made a decision - she wanted to "give up martial arts and pursue literature."

Her strongest point is that she has a smart brain.

Therefore, she planned to become Hephes's think tank and give him advice.

But the number of books related to the wizarding world is too scarce.

If she wanted to truly learn useful knowledge, she had to start from the Muggle side.

That's why she studied so hard this summer.

But she could naturally feel Hephis's intentions.

Going to a Quidditch match wouldn't take much time, and would give Heffield one less thing to worry about.

Hephis also invited Snape, Flora and Hagrid.

Fulla and Hagrid loved Quidditch, so they agreed readily.

Especially Hagrid, he jumped for joy the moment he received the invitation letter.

As for Snape, he refused right away. He didn't want to watch Quidditch.

If he wasn't the head of Slytherin, he wouldn't even want to watch the Quidditch he needed.

What's more, he is now busy improving the physical fitness potion and has no time to waste on such boring things.

However, Hephis only said one sentence, and Snape changed his mind: "Fla and Hagrid will go."

As for whether Lucius can get so many votes, that is not something Hephis needs to worry about.

If he can't even do this little thing.

Hephis really needs to think carefully about whether to use this person again.

There are still several days until the Quidditch World Cup final.

Time naturally cannot be wasted for no reason.

The Shadow Soldier finally got his shadow after hiding in Horace Slughorn's house for several days.

I have to say that Voldemort was indeed very charming when he was young, and he also knew how to please others.

In Slughorn's shadow, Hephis searched for a crucial memory.

It was from Slughorn that Voldemort learned the key information about the Horcruxes.

A Horcrux is an object that can hide part of a wizard's soul.

That is, when the wizard splits the soul.

By hiding a part of it in an object outside the body, the wizard will not die even if the body is severely injured or destroyed.

Because there is still a part of the soul in the world that has not been damaged.

As for how to split the soul, it is actually very simple, that is to kill people.

Killing someone will cause a crack in the soul, and the wizard who creates the Horcrux uses this crack to seal the split soul fragments.

In that memory, Hephis also captured a more crucial piece of information.

Perhaps Voldemort was too excited.

He actually asked Slughorn directly: "Isn't seven the most magical number?"

Therefore Hephaest can conclude.

Voldemort must have separated the six soul fragments and hidden them in different objects.

It seems that Dumbledore is really busy this time.

Currently, there is only one Horcrux known to have been destroyed, and that is the diary left by Voldemort in his youth.

There are two more clues, but Dumbledore has to confirm them personally.

Hephaestus looked through Slughorn's memory again.

Finding there was no more useful information, he put his shadow back.
