Harry Potter: Who cares about belated motherly love?

In fact, the content of this discussion will be reported to the adults later.

Because the twins and Ron's opinions often hit home, we were asked to let them speak their minds as much as possible.

For this purpose we are also provided with a large number of newspapers and weeklies.

In particular, regarding Dumbledore's hint at Voldemort's resurrection, we were clearly instructed to discuss it.

"What do you think you would do if you knew that person was really resurrected?"

I asked Ron.

“Uh…yeah.

First of all, I want to know, is it true that Tom's body is completely gone?"

I replied, yes, it seems so.

"The soul remains, and there is a way to regenerate his body...

Although he can possess and control other people's bodies, this may not be easy to stabilize.

Even if you can successfully control it, there is no point in resurrecting it if you can't use magic.

Even if he could successfully possess the body, his pride would not allow it if he could not restore his original magic level."

Ron thought for a moment and said nothing, while Fred and George continued their discussion.

"'Without his body, that's a real problem.'"

"Then we can only prepare a replacement."

“First there has to be a foundation.”

"'The bones of a relative are necessary.'"

"Father or mother, the closer the better."

"If it wasn't cremated, there should still be bones left, right?"

In response to the twins' words, Ron said,

“Even if you’re cremated, the bones will remain.”

Indeed it is.

“Although it will burn at high temperatures, it is different from being burned by demonic fire. Cremation is very common among Muggles nowadays because burial takes up space. But in that era, burial was still quite common, right?

Who is Tom more like?

Mother or father? Since he is a man, he cannot use his mother's bones.

If you want to be resurrected as a male.

Then maybe using the father's bones? If not, then resurrecting as a female and then switching genders through magic would be fine.

After all, my mother's side is a magical family.

In any case, it would be best if all the bones of the maternal and paternal relatives, both male and female, were destroyed. What else is needed?"

"You just said Voldemort wouldn't attack Harry, didn't you?"

I asked Ron.

"Yes, in Muggle fantasy novels, if an evil monarch who once died is resurrected, they will be obsessed with attacking the sacred being, and the warrior will protect the princess. This is also a cliché but inevitable plot. When resurrected, they will use the sacred being. In this case, Harry is that sacred being.

The other thing is the flesh and blood of loyal servants, right? Voldemort has many servants, so it shouldn't be difficult to obtain these materials."

Fred and George continued.

“But what about the organs?”

“Whether it’s Harry or the servants, they’re just sacrifices, right?

Sacrifices may work as catalysts for magical rituals, but they can't create organs, right?"

"But using another wizard's body won't work, right? Can you adapt?"

Ron thought for a moment and speculated.

"If there is a body that has not yet been fully inhabited by a soul, such as a baby parasitic in the mother's womb, what if Voldemort does not possess it but completely takes over its body? If the soul is not yet mature, he can completely suppress or absorb that soul and make its body his own.

If the possession is successful, there shouldn't be too much of a problem, right? Or create an artificial human.

However, even if the artificial human is in the infant state, it is not certain whether healthy organs can be produced.

There were also concerns about durability, as using androids to create androids raised concerns about whether the body could be successfully maintained, in addition to the burden of magical power required for the ritual.

Therefore, it is better to simply erase the soul, or absorb it, and completely control the body of a healthy baby.

Bones are second-hand goods, organs need new ones.

How about using the bones of relatives as a foundation, using the organs of young babies who are compatible with you, and the flesh and blood of servants and old enemies as a catalyst to get as close to your previous body as possible?

But it must be a baby with high magical aptitude."

"'Yes, that will work.'"

"But even if it's a baby, can the remaining soul alone completely control the body?"

"Without a more powerful soul preservation device, an ordinary soul wouldn't have the power to take over, right? When would a soul take over a body? It would be difficult in the fetal state, right?"

The twins questioned.

"There may be such technology in black magic to preserve part of the soul."

Ron said. It is indeed possible.

"'Indeed.'"

"Can it be done without any cost?"

"So this is a forbidden technique, right? It may require a large number of innocent souls..."

"If that were the case, it would explain the mass killings of Muggles and Muggle-borns."

Ron added as he looked at the newspaper reporting on Voldemort's life.

“Not only the souls of others, maybe his soul won’t be spared?

A top student who gradually degenerates may not be an extreme pure-blood at first, if he ever wants to become a teacher at Hogwarts.

He is a half-blood, his mother is a pure-blood wizard and his father is a Muggle.

He grew up in an orphanage and must have suffered a lot. It must have been difficult for a child who grew up in a war period to survive in Slytherin, which is full of rich kids.

Moreover, he grew up in a similar environment to my mother when she was young, and in a similar era, so I am well aware of the difficulty. In orphanages of that era, the education level was uneven, and being able to read and write was considered good.

He was able to excel in that environment, and of course he must have worked very hard.

Perhaps he firmly believed that it was better for wizards and Muggles to live separately, and that Muggles should be avoided as marriage partners would result in unhappy children.

After all, Hogwarts not only recruits pure-blood wizards, he himself is also a half-blood, he should not want to kill the Muggle-borns or half-bloods who enroll every year? He may want to help those children who, like him, cannot adapt to the Muggle world and have fantasies about the magical world.

He may have pure wishes on this issue...but that's just what I want to believe.

In fact, there are reports that he did not ask them about their origins and taught them.

He would probably advise against marrying a Muggle, as he himself had suffered greatly.

Excellent wizards may not be able to fit in in the Muggle world. For a wizard as good as him, looking at Harry's current situation, his adoptive parents also experienced a lot of friction, not knowing Harry's background, and the upbringing process was similar to his.

Tom might have faced a similar dilemma if he had seen Harry's current situation.

So he probably thought wizards and Muggles should be kept separate.

But after becoming a Death Eater, he began indiscriminately killing Muggles, Muggle-borns, and those who tolerated their existence, which was completely different from the image of the teacher he once wanted to be. It was like a completely different person. "

Indeed, given Harry's situation, even close relatives who knew his parents were wizards had trouble coping, so how difficult must it have been for a wizard of Tom's level as a child? Even if he didn't have severe magical outbursts like Harry did, I can only imagine him having a lonely childhood trying to control his powers without understanding them.

Without any family to rely on, it is hard to imagine him getting along well with the Muggle children around him.

His academic ability and appearance are both outstanding, and he uses incomprehensible supernatural powers. It is hard to imagine that he is in a Muggle orphanage where even adults are helpless.

Harry couldn't even get along well with his blood aunt and cousin, so the situation would be even worse with a complete stranger.

It's understandable that he harbors a lurking hatred for Muggles.

But he himself was of Muggle descent, and if he wanted to be a teacher, he could not have originally intended to kill his students.

"Will his soul itself be harmed?"

When I heard Ron ask this, I replied:

"So this is called a forbidden technique, right? It can hurt yourself and others."

"Also, the safekeeping of the preservation device is important, right? For example, what would happen if the Imperius Curse was placed on it?"

When Ron asked this question, Fred and George began to discuss it further.

"If it needs to be kept safe, it's probably with a powerful Death Eater, right?"

"Probably in the Lestrange vault."

"The Malfoys might have it, too. The Blacks...may have it, too."

"If the storage device and the main body are linked, someone might accidentally become a villain!"

"It is even possible that this preservation device is spontaneously trying to control the main body?"

"If the amount of soul fragments preserved increases, it may surpass the power of the original body."

"It depends on the extent and number of souls divided."

"If we only preserve the instinctive parts that have lost their rationality, wouldn't that be dangerous?"

"On the contrary, if we only keep the rational part, it would be equally dangerous, right?"

"If the soul is constantly divided, the mental state of the entity will obviously become very unstable."

"Even if they are copied instead of divided, they will deteriorate if copied too many times. If they are kept for too long or in poor condition, they may also deteriorate. Or, they may develop consciousness on their own, and then they will be completely out of control."

"If they each start to develop autonomous consciousness, the situation will become extremely chaotic and very difficult to control."

"It is possible that the tragedy was caused by the loss of rationality in controlling violence."

"It is also possible that other soul preservation devices have deteriorated and are implicated."

"Or because too many were made, it was beyond the control of the main body."

"Like Ron said, we cannot rule out the possibility that someone else took it and cast the Imperius Curse on it. Could it be in Dumbledore's hands?"

"Even if dangerous dark magic items were found during the house search, the Ministry of Magic would not make truly dangerous things public. It is said that many things were confiscated from various places in the school."

"Suppose Dumbledore really did have those things?

From what various people have said, I don't think that the cautious and meticulous Dumbledore would leave these things where they could be easily found during a search, but surely he would be reluctant to let them go?"

"'Must be at Hogwarts.'"

"But if it were me, I wouldn't put them in a prominent place like the principal's office."

"Me too, there should be a room that only appears when certain conditions are met, right?"

"It's Hogwarts after all, he'd probably quietly hide things in a room like that, cast the Imperius Curse occasionally, and perfectly create a puppet that thinks he's a hero."

"Even without the Imperius Curse, perhaps some kind of mental disturbance is enough to make a person insane?"

"Well, it would probably require delicate handling. A cautious man like Dumbledore wouldn't use something as obvious as the Imperius Curse."

"As a result, he failed to handle it, causing the enemy to be stronger than he expected, and possibly exacerbating the rampage."

"Then, we just need to create a wizard who has great power but is absolutely obedient to us."

"It's like selecting wizards from Gryffindor. To achieve this goal, it would be more intuitive to make Slytherin look like the minions of evil forces, right?"

"Yeah, my dad always thinks Slytherin is an evil organization."

“This is the result of years of information manipulation and brainwashing.”

"In fact, they don't care about the prosperity of the wizarding world at all."

"They are just being selfish."

"Indeed. They may want to gain power by suppressing the pure-blood nobles, but such a result will not be beneficial to the prosperity of the wizarding world, right?"

“They don’t care about any of that.”

“He is the last person who should be in school education.”

"Who on earth let that old man be a teacher?"

"It must be the short-sighted, stupid wizards of the past. They couldn't tell the difference between a wizard's abilities and his abilities as a teacher."

As Fred and George's speculations got deeper, the conversation turned to criticisms of Dumbledore, which I largely agreed with.

If there is a room that only appears when certain conditions are met... I'll have to look for it when I get back to Hogwarts.
