Jingyan of HP

Chapter 41 Destroying the Diary

"Impossible!" Snape categorically rejected his conjecture after hearing Cheng Jingyan's description, "The Potter family has been Gryffindor for generations, and I have never heard of anyone in their family who can speak Parseltongue before."

"But is there any other explanation besides this?" Cheng Jingyan flipped through a book of "Glory of Wizards - Genealogy of Aristocratic Blood" in distress, "I also know that the possibility is very small, but Harry will be very sad if he doesn't say that .”

Snape snorted and sarcastically said, "Your little savior is really delicate!"

"Harry is not mine," Cheng Jingyan said helplessly, "he is only 12 years old, it is normal to be afraid, and that person is his enemy, who would want to have something in common with his enemy?"

He looked at Snape's still a little unhappy face, and couldn't help teasing him: "Severus, why do I feel that you speak sourly? Are you jealous of Harry?"

"Who would be jealous of that little troll!" Snape yelled at him with a dark face.

"Don't worry, didn't I say that I will always be on your side?" Cheng Jingyan felt more and more like that, so he continued to tease him in a good mood, "No one can shake your position in my heart Well, not even Harry."

"Get out of my office! Immediately!" Snape yelled, turned around and walked into the potion room vigorously, closing the door vigorously.

Cheng Jingyan waited for a long time but didn't see him coming out, so he had to knock on the door.

The door of the potion room was jerked open, and Snape glared at him with a look of "Why haven't you left yet".

Cheng Jingyan told him with a smile: "Severus, I have a herbal medicine class later, you remember to tell the principal what happened just now, I'm leaving first."

"Get out!" said Snape impatiently.

Cheng Jingyan took a few steps outside, then turned around and said, "Don't be angry, you are the most important person to me."

With a "bang", the door of the potion room was slammed shut.

"Oh? Did I read it wrong? His ears seem to be red..." Cheng thought with a good feeling about himself, "It seems that it is really useful to say good things often?"

While flirting, he walked towards the greenhouse outside the castle, summarizing his achievements during this time.He often said some ambiguous and caring words to Snape, which was taught by Lucius.

The platinum beauty who had seen countless people in her youth said this: "Severus is the typical kind of person who takes soft things and doesn't take hard things. You have to say some sweet words to him that are both ambiguous and not explicit. The kind of words that will not make him suspect that you are plotting against him but can impress him, the scale is up to you. Also, you have to show your concern for him in actions. This is what you have been doing, and I have nothing to say Yes. Over time, he will naturally form an impression of 'you are the best for him' in his heart, and then he will think why you are so kind to him, and what you said before will start to lead him in that direction , and then it will be a matter of course for the two of you!"

Cheng Jingyan thought he was a bit unreliable before, but when he thought of Snape's performance just now, he couldn't help but start to chuckle.

"As expected of a flirtatious face... You really are a master of love!" He secretly put a top hat on Lucius in his heart, and decided to follow his instructions firmly in the future.

Another weekend came, and Dumbledore invited Lucius, Snape, and Cheng Jingyan to his office.

"So you found out what that diary is?" Lucius asked eagerly.

"Yes, I have to say that he really did a very stupid thing this time." Dumbledore took out a black book, the gilt words on the cover were a little blurred, but still clearly visible It was "Deciphering Cutting-Edge Dark Arts", he turned to a certain page and handed it to Lucius.

Lucius took a closer look and exclaimed, "Horcrux!"

Dumbledore nodded solemnly, and said: "Yes, he split his soul into a piece, put it in that diary, and made it into a Horcrux. According to my guess, this diary should be from his student days. used, because the name on it is still his school name, that is to say, it is very likely that he made this Horcrux during his school days."

"I know that name, Tom Marvolo Riddle, that's his name?!" Lucius said in surprise, "The nobles in the magic world don't have the surname Riddle, so - he is a half-breed?!"

"Yes, I picked him up from the Muggle orphanage when he entered school. His mother is a Squib from the Gaunt family, a descendant of Slytherin," Dumbledore said with a wry smile. I would think, if I had been more sincere to him at the beginning, would he not have walked on that path, but now I realize that it was actually because of his own ambition and cruelty that he would do that in the future. How about brutally killing a life as an adult in order to pursue eternal life?"

Both Lucius and Snape seemed disgusted.

Lucius, who has always advocated pure blood, was so angry that his lips trembled, "A half-breed Muggle and Squib! He actually said that he would lead the pure-blood nobles to eliminate Muggles and half-blood wizards! How dare he! I actually surrendered to this kind of person He actually claims to be the heir of Slaterin!" He suddenly lifted his sleeves, took out a bottle of runic water and poured most of it into his darkened Dark Mark.

"Oh, Lucius, my boy, you are so excited," Dumbledore said with a smile while stroking his beard, "listen to me first, please?"

Lucius took a deep breath, "Go ahead."

"Well, I guess this is not the only Horcrux he has. After all, it was made when he was young. With his personality, it is impossible to be satisfied with an immature work when he was young, so when his strength strengthened later, I will definitely continue to make it," Dumbledore said with some distress, "Although splitting the soul will reduce his strength, if the Horcrux is not completely wiped out, he will not die. Apart from this diary, what else does he have? Is there something for you to keep?"

Lucius shook his head.

"Severus, what about you?"

Snape gave him an annoyed look and said, "There's only one thing Lucius has so much trust in him, how could I have it! Is your head covered in honey?"

Cheng Jingyan couldn't help laughing.

Dumbledore squinted his eyes and asked him, "Cheng, seeing how relaxed you are, you must have some good suggestions?"

A grudge-loving old man!Cheng Jingyan cursed secretly, and sat up straight, "Since he handed the diary to Lucius, maybe there are other loyal Death Eaters who also got a certain Horcrux, Lucius, you Do you have an impression?"

Lucius frowned and said, "It's been too long, I have to check."

Dumbledore nodded, "Then please, let's destroy this diary now?"

"No!" Cheng Jingyan hurriedly stopped him, "What if it affects the Dark Mark of Severus and Lucius again? Or wait until the Dark Mark is completely removed before destroying it?"

Lucius looked down at his Dark Mark subconsciously, and exclaimed in surprise: "It's gone! My Dark Mark—it's completely gone!"

It turned out that most of the bottle of talisman water he poured just now was the last straw that broke the camel's back, and it actually "washed" off his Dark Mark like this.

Cheng Jingyan grabbed his arm and looked at it for a long time, then suddenly snatched him with the remaining half bottle of talisman water, leaned over to Snape who was happy for his friend, lifted his sleeve, and put his arm on the chair On the armrest, carefully smearing his Dark Mark.

Snape watched him squatting beside his chair concentrating, his eyes fixed on the top of his soft hair and began to daze.

Dumbledore and Lucius exchanged a look, smiled without saying a word.

Suddenly, the principal's office became quiet.

Cheng Jingyan held his breath, watching the ugly pattern that had faded to the point where there was only a shallow mark gradually fading away, and finally disappeared. He raised his head excitedly, and looked into Snape's eyes.

Those eyes that were always cold were filled with an unprecedented gentle expression, Cheng Jingyan stared at him blankly, held his hand tightly for a long time, and said with a trembling voice: "Severus, we succeeded... "

"Hmm." Snape responded in a low voice, holding his hand back as if responding for the first time.

"Well, then, can we destroy the Horcruxes?" Dumbledore said wryly.

As if just now realizing they were still there, Snape withdrew his hand abruptly.

Cheng Jingyan turned his head immediately and shot a piercing eye knife at Dumbledore.

Lucius covered his mouth and grinned.

The old man touched his nose with a dry smile, and led them into his alchemy laboratory.He put on dragon leather gloves, opened the dragon skin package on a laboratory table, took out the diary and put it in the open space in the laboratory.

He chanted a lengthy incantation, and a small off-white flame began to burn from the diary. Gradually, the flame became bigger and bigger, and it began to evolve into various grotesque beasts.Suddenly, a mournful howl resounded in the flames, the book cracked open, and a dark asphalt-like blood-like thing slowly seeped out, and was immediately evaporated by the fierce fire.

It wasn't until the flames had grown to a height of more than two meters and everyone retreated to the door that the screams disappeared completely, and the diary was completely burned to ashes.

Dumbledore cast Fiendfire's counter-curse again and put out the fire.

They walked over to inspect the handful of ashes, and finally heaved a sigh of relief, and returned to sit outside with a sigh of relief.

Cheng Jingyan repeatedly confirmed to Snape and Lucius that they didn't feel anything when they destroyed the diary, and said very excitedly: "We're going to celebrate! I'll treat you to dinner at Severus' place tonight. Sample?"

He turned to Snape, "Can you, Severus? I promise I'll cook a lot of good food!"

"Hmph! Haven't you already decided?" Snape glared at him, "You don't seem to give me a chance to refuse, do you?"

Lucius and Dumbledore snickered.

The author has something to say: Well, in order to write about the process of destroying the Horcrux, I asked Du Niang, and found out a very interesting thing.It seems that many HP fans say that Gryffindor's sword can destroy Horcruxes, but!This is the but, in fact, the sword of Gryffindor did not have this function originally. Du Niang’s original words are as follows: "It cannot destroy Horcruxes originally. But it is a weapon made by goblins. The weapons of goblins can only absorb and strengthen Its stuff, so when Harry impaled the basilisk with it, it absorbed the basilisk's venom and was able to destroy the Horcrux."

Girls, I've seen a lot of HP fandoms where the Sword of Gryffindor didn't even kill the basilisk and also destroyed the Horcrux...
