Fire Alchemist

Interest is the best teacher.Now, then, for Theodore and Draco, curiosity was their best teacher.They rushed to the library at the fastest speed they could currently use, and ran to the bookshelf dedicated to soul books. The two little nobles were a little discouraged.Even the most elusive book on the soul in the wizarding world, there is an entire bookshelf.

"Search separately, Draco. We must end our operation before Grandpa finds out."

"Understood." Draco nodded.Quickly pulled out a book and flipped through it.

"Found it." For two consecutive days, the two sneaked into the library with the adults on their backs to search for the Horcrux, and finally let them find it.

"A horcrux refers to an object that contains part of a person's soul. To make a horcrux requires a black wizard to shatter and split his own soul through murder and other evil things, and then separate part of the soul from the body and seal it in a container. This The vessel is the Horcrux. In this way, even if the body is destroyed, it will not die. Because there is still a part of the soul that has not been damaged and remains in the world."

"We should go, Draco." Theodore grabbed the book in Draco's hand and stuffed it on the shelf. According to the usual practice, the adults are going to adjourn.

The two hurried back to their study, until they sat down, their hearts were still trembling.

"Merlin, is the mysterious man really the heir of Slytherin? If so, why doesn't he know the importance of the soul to wizards? The power of wizards comes from blood and soul, and the first element in pursuing immortality is to keep the integrity of the soul Sex." Draco opened his mouth, feeling that his previous impression of the mysterious man was completely subverted because of the term Horcrux.Where is this a noble, shrewd Slytherin?

"Maybe, he is not a pure blood at all." Theodore kept tapping the table with his index finger, "If it is a pure blood, it is impossible not to know the importance of the soul to wizards. Do you remember, we When I was young, I was warned by adults that the soul is the most elusive matter in the magic world. Until now, no one has fully studied the mystery of the soul. But one thing, the most important, is that we must maintain the integrity of our souls. "

"Merlin, can there be anything more ironic than this? A person who is not pure blood leads the nobles of Slytherin to advocate pure blood?"

"..."

"Draco, the space accessories you want are ready. Of course, the space inside is only a few cubic meters. This is the limit of what I can do." Anna walked in with a small box, but saw Two little snakes who were in a daze, "What's wrong?"

"No, nothing."

"Do you know about Horcruxes?"

The different answers made Anna frowned. Of course, she quickly grasped the new term in Draco's mouth, "Horcrux?"

Theodore looked at Draco helplessly, according to his original intention, he didn't want Anna to know about it.In the dark arts, Anna's talent is very bad.Perhaps, her talent is all in alchemy.However, Draco had already said it. "Yes, it's a Horcrux."

"I seem to have heard it somewhere." Anato pouted his chin and thought for a long time, "It seems that I heard it from a blood race. It is said that in the era of Merlin, a black wizard researched and stored human souls in a utensil , and then preserve the human body that has lost the soul. As long as the body is not destroyed, the soul can be reimplanted into the human body at the right time to achieve the purpose of resurrection. However, it seems that it only exists in the theoretical stage, and no one seems to have succeeded. After all, it was not easy in those days to keep the human body intact.”

"Wait, what you heard is storing a person's entire soul in a vessel?"

"Yes." Anna nodded, "The soul is not bread, you can cut it as you like!"

The two were speechless again, even a Muggle-born student knew the integrity of the soul, but the famous mysterious man cut his soul all over again.I really don't know what to say.

"How do you think of finding this thing? According to that blood race, there should be no Horcruxes in this world. Moreover, Horcruxes are not good things. It is said that the soul stored in the artifact will try to occupy the person who gets it body. Roy told me that some alchemists used to transfer their souls to another person to achieve the goal of immortality. Therefore, it is its instinct to occupy the body of another person, so you should Be careful."

"You mean, the soul in the Horcrux will occupy the body of the Horcrux holder?" Draco remembered jumping up when he heard Anna's words, "I have to tell Dad."

Saying that, before the two of them had any reaction, Draco rushed out.

"What's wrong with him?" Anna gave Theodore a strange look. It was really rare that Master Malfoy didn't care about the space jewelry he was thinking about.

"Uncle Lucius has another horcrux. Mr. Black also has a horcrux. At present, there are two horcruxes in his possession. The owner of the horcrux is a mysterious person."

"Hiss... He actually put this unsuccessful legend into practice? Two of them? He split his soul?" Anna was stunned. The mysterious people were actually Ravenclaw and Gryffindor. Otherwise, how dare you use yourself as an experiment?

"Actually, Grandpa and the others speculate that the mysterious man may have more than these two horcruxes." Thinking of his father who once knelt at the feet of the mysterious man, and his mother who died of lingering sickness because of his father's arrest, Theodore wanted to speak out. Laughing, what a stupid guy, he took it for granted and put himself on the test bench, swung a knife at his own soul without hesitation, and made more than one copy.

"Children, can you tell us what you all know?" Draco's impulsiveness exposed his and Theodore's past behavior in advance.After discussing it, several adults thought that since the children already knew it, they should also know more about it, so as to avoid some irreparable consequences after encountering it in the future.

"Draco and I used to eavesdrop on you with the clairvoyance Weasley made." Theodore and Draco each received a stare from Gareth and Lucius, "and from that conversation I heard the term 'Horcrux' in the middle of the book, and out of curiosity, Draco and I went to the library to look it up, and we learned what a Horcrux is and how it is made."

"What about Anna?" Lucius turned his head to the only girl among the three children. To be honest, Lucius couldn't help being surprised when he heard Draco relay the girl's warning to them on the Horcrux. , a Muggle-born girl, who can know such knowledge that even some pure-blood wizards may not understand completely, is she worthy of being a Ravenclaw?

"I heard from Haines. He is a vampire who has existed for nearly a thousand years. He knows as much as Nico."

Lucius and Gareth looked at each other, and they felt again that Lemuel was really a magical organization.

"Now that you already know what a Horcrux is and how harmful it is, then I won't say much. I hope you can be careful when you encounter something with independent thoughts or a strong black magic aura. , remember to stay away from them. The mysterious man probably made several horcruxes. At present, we can't confirm the number of horcruxes and the specific items."

"Okay." The three nodded obediently.

After that, when the adults discussed things, they no longer deliberately avoided the children.Of course, most of the time, they just listen in and occasionally say a few words.

"Dad, like Theodore, I think that the mysterious man may not be a pure blood. That...maybe he used a fake name."

Lucius looked at Gareth, "If the mysterious man also studied at Hogwarts, he should be a student of the same period as you."

"The premise is that he has studied at Hogwarts." Gareth frowned, "Did Abraxas tell you anything?"

"Not at all." Lucius shook his head, talking about his father rather sadly, "His portrait has never been moved."

"I seem to have heard from my mother that the mysterious man seems to be their junior." Regulus, who seemed to be resting, suddenly said, "I wanted to ask in detail, but my mother avoided it any longer. The subject was never brought up."

"Under what circumstances did you hear that?"

"Just when I went back and told my mother about my experience. Oh, when my mother kept cursing and mentioned a damn half-breed."

"This can explain why the mysterious man split his soul. It seems that he is not only a half-breed, but also a half-breed without wizard parents, and he is probably very poor. Only such people will not even understand the most basic concepts of wizards Do not know at all."

"It seems that Dumbledore's old bee should know who the mysterious man is."

"Uncle Lucius, Draco said that the Horcrux in your hand is a diary. Is there a name on it?"

"I haven't read it." Lucius shook his head. He had tried many detection spells on the diary, but he definitely didn't have the guts to look through it himself.

"Maybe, we can see if there is the owner's name in the diary. However, in fact, I think that even knowing who the other party is is not very helpful to what we want to do now. At least, we can't pass This name knows the number of Horcruxes, and what these Horcruxes are."

"What Miss Granger said is true. Besides, we have a more important problem now. We don't know what method should be used to destroy the Horcrux." Regulus smiled slightly at Anna, this The hemp seed witch is always so unexpected. When everyone is thinking all the way and getting into a dead end, she can still jump out of it so rationally.

Under the reminder of Regulus, the hall fell into silence again.That's right, even if all the horcruxes could be collected accurately, they still have a more important thing to do is to destroy these horcruxes.However, there is currently no record of how the Horcrux should be destroyed.

"Perhaps, Severus can prepare some high-strength poisons?"

"I thought, why don't we leave this nerve-wracking matter to our old enemy?"

"Then what if even Dumbledore doesn't know?"

"..."

Horcruxes... Horcruxes contain souls, and souls are equivalent to power for wizards, power... price... Anna suddenly felt that something just passed by like this.

"Anna, Anna,..."

Anna was trying to recall the deduction just now. Obviously, she had missed something just now. It was not until Theodore stretched out his hand in front of her for a long time that he raised his head.

"What are you thinking? How to destroy the Horcrux?"

Anna nodded subconsciously.

Draco showed a sly smile, "Anna, you don't plan to use your failed potion to destroy Horcruxes, you know, your failed potion is not as powerful as Longbottom."

"Does potion have to be used?" Anna asked rhetorically.

"What do you use without potions? Alchemy?"

"There is nothing wrong with alchemy. The effect of offensive alchemy is no worse than that of magic spells, and it is generally group-based....Wait, alchemy, equivalent exchange..." Anateng stood up abruptly Come. "Sorry, I think, I need to discuss it with the godfather. In theory, this should be a way to destroy the Horcrux." Anna saluted everyone, turned and ran away immediately.
