Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Chapter 56 Horcruxes and Holidays

Without going into the specific details, let's just look at the general meaning of Dumbledore's words -

These are all things he told Harry Potter in the sixth volume of the original work, and the purpose was to guide Harry Potter to destroy Voldemort's Horcruxes.

Anriel's eyes became complicated.

He lowered his head and looked at the crude black stone ring on his thumb.

"Voldemort didn't recognize what it was."

Anriel seemed to be talking to himself, but also seemed to be talking to Dumbledore.

“Yes, my child, but it was a Horcrux and it is no longer one.

So we can put the matter of this stone aside for now."

"Okay, then according to what you said, if Voldemort is searching for the relics of the four headmasters of Hogwarts..."

Anriel and Dumbledore were both silent for a moment.

Then, in an extremely similar manner, they both cast their eyes at the same time, looking at the tattered hat that was piled up in a limp on the bookshelf.

Anriel spoke first:

"Well, honestly, sir, I don't think this thing fits Voldemort's aesthetic.

He would never allow something like this to carry a part of his soul."

Anriel spoke in a decisive tone, unashamedly quoting Dumbledore's words from the original novel.

"Yeah, that's what I thought too...

But, although this is true, this hat is one of the few relics of Godric Gryffindor...

It's actually... well... it should be considered public property of Hogwarts.

That means that Gryffindor's legacy is only one sword."

Dumbledore spoke slowly and evenly, his voice so soft that it was hard to hear.

Of course, Anriel, who was sitting next to him, could still hear it clearly.

Considering that Phineas Black was listening closely to every word of their conversation, Dumbledore was right.

"This means that one of the main purposes of Voldemort's application is to obtain the sword of Gryffindor."

Anriel added.

"Leaving aside Gryffindor's relics, the more famous relics of the other three founders are...

Salazar Slytherin's family locket;

Helga Hufflepuff's gold-engraved drinking goblet;

Rowena Ravenclaw's Diadem of Wisdom."

Dumbledore counted them one by one on his long fingers like a child.

Anriel sighed:

“What a waste.”

But then I thought, the only existing Philosopher's Stone in the world was made into jewelry by me and was going to give it to others...I didn't seem to have the face to mock Voldemort.

You waste, I spend money, and we both have a bright future.

Under the guidance of Anriel's words over the past few months, Dumbledore quickly locked onto these relics without any evidence.

Whether they become Horcruxes or not... let's find them first and talk about it later.

The point is not how many Horcruxes Voldemort created.

Five? Ten? One hundred? One thousand?

It wouldn't matter even if he cut his soul into small pieces and made it into sauce.

Anriel and Dumbledore's goals have changed from the original ones -

In the original novel, the three little strong men, under the guidance of Dumbledore, risked their lives to find all the Horcruxes because the success rate of facing Voldemort directly with the Horcruxes was infinitely close to 0.

No, the success rate for them is zero.

We can only weaken Voldemort's soul first before we can confront him.

And now... the Elder Wand is still in the Red Camp.

Albus Dumbledore's knot was mostly untied.

The key is that there is Anriel, a human killer who is the reincarnation of Merlin.

If Voldemort dares to resurrect his body once, Anriel will dare to kill him head-on.

So what if I were resurrected? So what if I were immortal?

Unless Voldemort is willing to be a being even worse than a wandering spirit, Anriel will always be an insurmountable obstacle in his way.

Anriel tapped the oak table with his fingertips, and Dumbledore followed the "tap tap" sound by touching the fingertips of his slender fingers together.

Both of them fell into a state of contemplation.

Phineas in the portrait next to him was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks.

What was Dumbledore thinking? Anriel didn't know.

But knowing the plot well, I was thinking about how to find those Horcruxes and study them.

Through the diary incident, Anriel learned a secret.

It is very likely that Dumbledore did not know this secret - because he had never made a Horcrux.

Voldemort has split these soul fragments for too long...he is no longer able to sense and control them.

The diary even had its own subjective thoughts, and it even planned to sell out the original body and other Horcruxes!

Countless creative ideas collided fiercely in Anriel's mind.

Soul voodoo? Rebellion?

If we put voodoo in a piece of Voldemort's soul and then let it go, can it find Voldemort's body and merge into it?

These are all things you can try...

Just when Anriel's thoughts had advanced to a cruel level, Dumbledore interrupted his thoughts and saved countless innocent ghosts:

"Anriel...if I remember correctly, there is a prophet bloodline in the Gellert family?"

What? You want me to tell your fortune?

Although Anriel said that he wanted to study divination, all the divination knowledge he had learned so far was self-taught.

The main thing is to utilize the divination talent in the blood.

He had no interest in listening to Trelawney's idle chatter while he was sober.

Anriel raised an eyebrow:

“Of course, and it can all be calculated.

If you don't mind if I use Sybil's skull as a divination device."

After hearing the first half of the sentence, a smile appeared on Dumbledore's face.

After hearing the second half of the sentence, that hint of a smile on his face froze on his face, completely dead.

"Ahem... Let's discuss this later..."

Dumbledore chuckled twice and poked at the memory in the Pensieve again.

"Put that aside for a minute - how are you and Miss Lovegood?"

"?"

Anriel choked.

Dumbledore changed the subject too quickly and abruptly, yet also very skillfully...

It is hard to imagine how socially devastating a situation one must have experienced to acquire such an ability.

"Well, she's fine. Luna is very well behaved and considerate. She thinks of the overall situation, like a clever little rabbit."

Dumbledore picked up the cup of hot cocoa and snorted softly, seeming to be very satisfied...

I don’t know whether it was for the cup of cocoa or for Anriel.

The two didn't speak again, and after a while, Anriel got up and left.

......

This holiday season has been busy...

Horcruxes, Sirius, Wormtail... and so on.

And… he also needed to visit the Lovegoods.

Anriel shrugged. The schedule was quite full. Let's see when Dumbledore is ready to set out to get the fake locket.
