What is a Horcrux?

A horcrux, as the name suggests, is an item that holds a soul.

However, unlike those healing magics, this kind of magic is extremely evil and dangerous.

Although it can split part of a person's soul and hide it in another external object, so that if the person's body suffers a severe blow or dies, that part of the torn soul can continue to survive.However, that spell that creates a Horcrux has a requirement.That is - the person who wants to tear his soul must be accompanied by killing when tearing his soul, and it is a killing with deep sin.

Narcissa discussed with Lucius the two words Regulus had left them, and she even summoned Kreacher to question him about everything he knew.

In the end, they finally understood why Voldemort was invincible, even undead.That's because he has managed to create that fabled evil thing - Horcruxes.

The question was, how many of these damn things had Voldemort ever built?

Narcissa asked for the Slytherin locket from Kreacher.Lucius didn't let her do it, and he personally verified the magic wave on the locket, and confirmed that the magic wave on it was exactly the same as the magic wave on the diary that Voldemort gave them!

So, he not only made a Horcrux!

Narcissa instinctively wanted to seek help from Dumbledore, the only one in her memory who could counter the Dark Lord, but Lucius refused.

He believes that they should sort out their own ideas first, and then make a decision.And when doing any action, you must never put yourself on it.

Granted, Dumbledore was a great wizard.But no matter how great he was, he couldn't be so great as to consider the interests of them Death Eaters first.Therefore, Lucius suggested that they first search for some clues by themselves, wait until they have enough leverage, and then negotiate with the Order of the Phoenix in exchange for the most favorable conditions for them.

Narcissa thought about it, and finally agreed.

April 1979.Pig's Head Bar.

Lucius hastily rushed to this 'civilian place' that he would never set foot on weekdays after receiving the information from his subordinates.

He raised the curtain of the bar, and looked at the noisy and dirty surroundings with disgust.

Then, he saw Severus Snape sitting alone in a corner, pouring himself glass after glass of wine.In front of him, empty wine glasses had already filled the table and even piled on the ground.

Lucius walked up to Severus, and viciously tapped the snake-headed rod in his hand on the few gaps on the table in front of him: "Severus Snape, if I don't come over, you Is this going to drink to death here alone?"

"She's married," Severus murmured as if to himself.He poured himself another glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp.Then he laughed self-deprecatingly: "Oh, unexpectedly, it was with that Potter."

He bowed his head in silence for a while, and then continued: "The girl I love married the person I hate, and I didn't find out about it until half a year later." Severus held in his hand He threw the empty wine bottle on the ground casually, and went to the table to touch other wine bottles with wine.As soon as he stretched out his hand, Lucius pressed it firmly on the table with the snake-headed staff.He raised his head and looked at Lucius: "Lucius, tell me, am I not funny?"

"Since you are so unwilling, according to Slytherin's practice, go for it! Take her back, imprison her! Occupy her! I don't believe that if you really like that bitch, you will care whether she is It's not that there has been a marriage." Lucius said in a low tone but quickly.

Severus shook his head slowly.

He smiled wryly: "Forget it. That was Lily's choice. I took advantage of the time when I finished the task ahead of schedule, and went to visit her secretly. She was living a happy life. That Potter—" he didn't Saying the name willingly, as if someone forced him to swallow a bezoar, "He can make her smile happily, not like me." He pursed his lips and made a swallowing motion. Is it the wine I drank before, or the tears that did not flow out but flowed into my throat.

Then, Severus took a deep breath, let it out slowly, and said to Lucius as if nothing had happened: "I received a mission from the Lord. Someone told the Lord a prophecy.

"The prophecy said that someone who would defeat him was about to be born. The Lord actually believed such a ridiculous thing! So, he asked me to inquire about the prophecy and tell him the prophecy in its entirety."

"I'm going to retire after completing this task, starting from the core of the Death Eaters, and gradually withdrawing from the Lord or other people's sight." Severus' tone seemed a little lonely: "Maybe Lily is right. The black magic is true. It's an evil thing."

"Throughout my years among the Death Eaters, I got everything.

"I got the awe, the praise, the fame, the status, and I became what people called 'the youngest Potions Master'.

"But what's the use of these?

"I'm a half-blood, so the pure-blood people will never really accept me.

"I am praised by people, but those people are not looking at 'me', but what benefits the praise can bring them.

"What they are in awe of is not me, but the person behind me, or my identity as a Death Eater.

"I sacrificed my love of potions, and even the people I love, for these things."

"Oh." He laughed at himself, "Unfortunately, it took me so long to understand these simple truths."

"I'm tired, Lucius.

"Afterwards, I want to live in seclusion in the spider's end alley where I have been living since I was a child, study potions, and look through those magic books that I haven't had time to read these years.

"Maybe, when Lily and Potter's children are old enough to go to Hogwarts, I should let it go. At that time, I may find a girl who also likes potions to marry, and maybe I will have kids of my own.

"The things now, to me at that time, should be regarded as a dream.

"It's just memories of being young and frivolous."

Severus stood up and placed a few Galleons on the table where he had just been drinking.

He turned to Lucius and said to him seriously: "Lucius, I am very grateful for everything you have done to help me. So, even if I retreat to Spider's End, you and Narcissa can still come to me at any time. I will provide you with all the help I can. This is my promise, and it will last forever."

End of April 1979.After a meeting of Death Eaters.

"Bella! Bella, wait a minute!" Before the rally, Narcissa followed Lucius secretly to the gate of the rally.

She took a cloak and hid herself in a bush of flowers.When she saw the Death Eaters walking out scattered, she pretended to be one of them, lowered her head, wrapped herself in a cloak, and followed Bella secretly.

When she reached a deserted place, she immediately dropped the cloak she was wearing and pounced on it, finally grabbing the hem of Bella's clothes before she was about to Apparate.

Bella turned around and looked at the person who was grabbing the hem of her clothes.When she saw that the person was Narcissa, she was a little surprised, but then immediately returned to her expressionless face.She asked coldly, "Sissy? Are you okay?"

Narcissa looked at her sister—she was 27 years old now, at the best age for a woman, and she hadn't been wiped out by the life in Azkaban from her good looks and the reason in her head.Looking back now, maybe everything is still too late.

"Stop it, Bella." There was some pleading in Narcissa's tone: "You can't follow Voldemort anymore. He's gone crazy! It's like a poisonous snake showing its claws mercilessly, and can stab anyone ."

Bella heard Narcissa's words, took two steps forward, and approached Narcissa.She pinched Narcissa's chin with her sharp nails, leaned close to her face, and said threateningly to her in a voice that only two people could hear: "Narcisa, I knew you and Lucius obeyed the Lord Not from the heart. Remember! You can only say this to me once, next time you say something like this to me, don't blame me for not thinking about sisterhood!"

Narcissa looked at her sister sadly, she didn't care about the slight pain of Bella's long nails piercing her cheek: "Someone once said to me: 'A soul that has never been immersed in love is incapable of going Loves others.' So, Bella, wake up! Voldemort never loved you!"

"I know," Bella said softly, and she let go of Narcissa's face, took a step back, and screamed at Narcissa, "That's why I love him!"

"Narcissa," Bella pulled out her wand and pointed at her sister: "You are the youngest child in our family, and your parents have always protected you very well. You are like a princess living in a fairy tale. So, You never know, you have never experienced what it feels like to be coldly looked at by others.

"But I'm different.

"I was once raised by my father as the heir of the Black family, so I followed my father to deal with those pure-blooded old guys very early on.

"When our Black family lost power, do you know how those pure-blooded old immortals looked at me?

"Pity. Disdain. It's like I am inferior to them. It's like every time I talk to them, it's to ask them for some benefits that they give.

"You've been playmates with Lucius Malfoy since you were a kid, so his father, Abraxas Malfoy, will defend you too. But me?

"No one will stand up for me, no one will stand up for me. Even our father is a timid and overly conservative object that is secretly ridiculed by those from other families.

"It was the Lord who redeemed me. It was he who taught me the power to intimidate others. It was he who made me stand next to him and made me feel that as long as I was useful to him, I could stand on the side of others' admiration and envy. place. So, from now on, he is my belief!

"It's best for him not to love anyone. Because as long as there is love, there will be partiality and selfishness. I just love his ruthless appearance, which means that he will not treat anyone differently because of his personal relationship." treat!

"Narcisha, if you want to persuade me to leave the Lord, you should die! I will never, never betray this man. Even if the whole world says he is a devil! But to me, he is mine God!"

After Bella finished speaking, she threw out a spell, which cut the corner of her robe held by Narcissa.The curse hit the ground, drawing a scorched trail.

"Don't follow me!" Bella said fiercely to Narcissa, "You can't stop me! Go home and live your life as a housewife!" She then Apparated again and disappeared In front of Narcissa.

Only Narcissa was left blankly holding the corner of the clothes that Bella had torn.

Bella, forgive me.

I can't save you.

I can't even save myself.

Could Voldemort really be defeated?

Why does the more I know, the more hopeless I feel ahead?

It's okay, Narcissa.she said to herself.

Since Voldemort was finally defeated by that savior in the previous life, it proved that he was not completely invulnerable.

And, look, haven't you already found one of his life-saving means?

Although the only known Horcruxes are the Slytherin locket and the diary, you can already destroy part of his soul.

So keep going, Narcissa.

You swore to yourself once.

You will create a tomorrow where Draco will grow up happily without crying or fear.

Sometimes we feel like we've hit rock bottom.

Reality is like a monster with a huge mouth that swallows you from head to toe.

You fall and fall in its belly so dark that you can't see your fingers, it seems endless.

But whenever you feel hopeless about the world, whenever you have lost your vision for the future, whenever you are completely disappointed in yourself.There will always be a voice, shouting quietly in your heart, encouraging you not to give up, and encouraging you to keep going.

It's like a thin silk thread, holding you tightly.

Because only by living, only by continuing to walk, will there be other possibilities or reversals in the future.

We take that ray of possibility that pulls you and prevents you from falling further.

Call it hope.
