[Comprehensive] When will I die?

"She didn't die, she was just petrified." Dumbledore comforted Ferzi, who hated Harry, and continued, "However, I don't know how she was petrified."

Although Dumbledore was speaking to Ferzie, his eyes remained on Li Xuanqi.

Harry Potter, who is the most suspected, has an alibi provided by Lockhart, and the mandrake that cures petrification is about to be cultivated.

"He is innocent until proven guilty." Dumbledore naturally believed Harry.It's just that before the murderer is caught, he needs to remind everyone to be careful in their words and deeds.

Everyone else left, except Dumbledore and Li Xuanqi.

"Tom, do you remember the same thing happened 50 years ago?" Dumbledore said in a low voice.

Li Xuanqi maintained a moment of silence, he sighed and said to Dumbledore, "I am not him."

Dumbledore believed the other party's statement, but, "I cannot put all the students of Hogwarts in danger. If things continue to develop, I will have to close Hogwarts."

"It's not me, really." Li Xuanqi replied helplessly.

"But I believe you will solve it, right?" Dumbledore asked with deep eyes.

"Isn't this about Harry Potter?" Li Xuanqi was surprised at the other party's brazenness.

Dumbledore turned and left, but his voice clearly reached Li Xuanqi's ears, "No, it's yours now."

Li Xuanqi who was left on the spot rolled his eyes helplessly and said, "By the way, I think I should remind you, Principal Dumbledore."

Seeing Dumbledore stop as he wished, he continued, "Your Hogwarts has a house elf mixed in, whose family do you think it is?"

And Dumbledore continued to walk forward as if he hadn't heard it.

Although he likes the feeling of flying, Li Xuanqi has no love for Quidditch.So on the day of the Quidditch match, he would always be in the library.He naturally didn't see the angry Bludger hit Harry's arm, and Lockhart, who was completely dishelpful, managed to make the bone in Harry's arm disappear, and Harry Potter and Malfoy were sent to the infirmary.

But these news have been ignored after a Gryffindor student was petrified.

Li Xuanqi rushed to the infirmary immediately after hearing the voice of the basilisk, only seeing Dumbledore standing alone in front of the hospital bed.

"Where are you today?" Dumbledore asked.

"Library." Li Xuanqi breathed a sigh of relief seeing the person in front of him who was not in danger of life. He said quickly, "The alibi is useless at this time. The secret room has been opened. Even if no one guides it, it will Do a lot of damage."

"Find it." Dumbledore hid his anger. He was willing to believe Tom Riddle, but he would never forgive himself if the danger to Hogwarts students had been caused by his oversight.

"Sorry, I can't find it." Li Xuanqi said disappointedly, "Hogwarts is a magical castle that has been passed down for thousands of years. Even the drainage pipes are very complicated, and I can't look for it openly."

Dumbledore did not refute when he heard Li Xuanqi say this, he just looked worriedly at the child on the hospital bed.

"Do you have anyone to suspect?" Li Xuanqi asked in a low voice.

"Yes," Dumbledore replied bluntly, "you."

The corner of Li Xuanqi's mouth twitched, but he still asked, "Do you think it will be Harry Potter?"

"Totally impossible." Dumbledore said affirmatively.

Seeing such a determined Dumbledore, Li Xuanqi narrowed his eyes and said, "How much do you know about Horcruxes?"

Dumbledore didn't answer right away, he thought about it seriously and said, "Not as much as you."

Dumbledore fell into his own memories, and said slowly, "I have seen this word in the library, after all, I have been in Hogwarts for so many years, magical knowledge seems to be endless, and it will always attract people to explore. "

After pondering for a while, he continued, "Although I have always known the word Horcrux, I never thought that anyone would actually try it. Until last year."

"You saw me and him at the same time." Li Xuanqi took the other party's words.

"That's right," Dumbledore continued, nodding his head, "and then I started to doubt, and then I even went to the library again to find the magic book."

"Even until now, I still can't believe that you would make such a choice." Dumbledore looked at the child in front of him regretfully.It would be great if the other party didn't choose the wrong path.

"It's not me." Li Xuanqi retorted weakly.He has said it countless times, and no one has ever listened carefully?

In the face of Dumbledore's eyes, you can do whatever you want, as long as you are happy, and I will tolerate you. Li Xuanqi feels that he is used to it.

"You are the first." Dumbledore said with certainty his deduction, "So you are Tom Riddle. And you will not leave Hogwarts now because you have no..."

"Principal Dumbledore, speak carefully." Li Xuanqi quickly interrupted Dumbledore.The infirmary is not a good place to talk.What's more, even if the other party doesn't say anything, he understands the other party's meaning.

What doesn't Tom Riddle have?As Voldemort's first Horcrux, of course he will not have the memory of Voldemort's after.He didn't even recognize a Death Eater once he left Hogwarts.What's more, whether the Death Eaters would accept Lord Voldemort who was still a 12-year-old child was another question.

That's why Dumbledore, who thought this way, left the other party at Hogwarts and chose to wait and see, temporarily believed that the other party would not want Hogwarts to close, and chose to believe that the other party would not be the one who opened the Chamber of Secrets.

But Li Xuanqi was not Voldemort or Tom Riddle from the beginning.

"I'm running out of time, Tom." Dumbledore continued, thinking of the Mandrake that would not mature for more than a month, "Find it as soon as possible."

"I understand. After all, I don't want Hogwarts to close." Li Xuanqi nodded seriously.

The next day, the three who brewed the transformation potion in the women's bathroom exchanged information.

"You said Dumbledore suspected Tom? And Tom suspected you?" Hermione asked Harry in surprise.

"Did you really hear what Dumbledore said in the conversation with Riddle?" Ron was also in disbelief.

"That's right, but I don't quite understand what a Horcrux is." Harry told his friends what he heard last night.

Looking at the friends who were also ignorant, Harry continued, "Dumbledore and Tom seem to know something. I heard that Dumbledore asked Tom to find it as soon as possible. But what is it?"

"After the transformation potion is brewed, let's test Malfoy first. Then we will test Tom." Hermione said while brewing the potion.

Lockhart organized the Dueling Club, which gathered all the Hogwarts students, and even invited Snape as his assistant to complete the dueling demonstration.

When Lockhart was eloquently talking about how he would show mercy, Li Xuanqi saw Snape's flash of contempt.

The result naturally ended with Lockhart's defeat without any resistance.No one even cared about his powerless tuanzun after the defeat.

"Perhaps we should teach students how to deal with malicious spells first, Professor." Snape said slowly in a low voice, even the corners of his mouth slightly raised, it was obvious that he was looking forward to the upcoming good show.Finding fault with Harry Potter is always a pleasure for him.

"Potter, Weasley, you guys come first." Lockhart said two names casually.

"Weasley's wand can cause accidents even with the simplest spells. If Potter is injured, he will have to be sent to the infirmary." Snape said the truth, but in his tone that everyone could hear sneered, "Please allow me to recommend students from our academy, Malfoy."

The duel between Potter and Malfoy is definitely the most attractive duel for students.But even if Draco shot first, he and Harry still fell once in between.

"Oolong came out of the hole." Enraged Draco completely disregarded the agreement that he could only use the spell to remove your weapon, and he summoned a snake.

"Don't move, Potter, I'll help you get rid of him." After seeing Potter's bewildered expression enough, Snape walked towards Potter while talking.He just wanted to give Harry Potter a blow, it didn't mean he wanted something to happen to Harry Potter.

But Lockhart would not let go of any chance to show off, he said the spell before Snape, but unfortunately his spell not only failed to destroy the snake but even angered it.

The enraged snake swam towards the student next to him. In order to protect the other student, Harry unconsciously used snake language in an attempt to force the snake back.

Hearing the familiar voice, Snape looked at Harry in shock, and quickly looked at Li Xuanqi, he didn't even hide his shock.

"Break into pieces." Li Xuanqi threw out the spell before everyone could react, and everyone seemed to have reacted.

"What were you doing just now?" Facing Justin's questioning, Harry was completely at a loss.And Justin was frightened with a bit of a survivor.Even though he is a wizard, he is also a 12-year-old kid, and he is naturally afraid to be so close to a big snake.

The dueling club was forced to stop, and Harry Potter, who was misunderstood as ordering the snake to kill his classmates, was ostracized by almost all Gryffindors.

After the crowd dispersed, Li Xuanqi approached Snape silently, ignoring the cold air all over his body, and said, "Tell Dumbledore for me that magic, especially black magic, will always leave traces."
