"You mean—Voldemort is planning to kill me?" Dumbledore tapped his fingers on the table lightly. "A child?"

Rong Jiu nodded, sullenly, without saying a word.

At that time, her face suddenly turned pale: "He can't - let you do such a thing! You are not yet an adult!"

"Death Eaters have no age." Theodore subconsciously moved his hand to his forearm.Although he temporarily covered the hideous sign with gauze, he knew that it couldn't be covered up.That mark marked his life, the life of their family.

Dumbledore smiled softly: "It's a coincidence, it seems that things are going better than I thought."

Rong Jiu widened his eyes.

"Do you remember that diary?" Dumbledore looked at her. "I've got the answer from young Voldemort."

"Answer? You?" Rong Jiu felt a little absurd, and it was not right as soon as the words came out, "Uh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend, I just felt a little surprised."

"Of course Voldemort is not such a credulous person, especially since he never trusted me." Dumbledore nodded, indicating that he understood what she meant, "It was the Weasley twins who did it, it's amazing."

Thinking of the appearance of the twins who are fearless, Rong Jiu hooked the corners of his mouth.

"Although there are some things that need to be proved, for now, if we assume that the answer we got from there is correct, then he has seven Horcruxes in total." Dumbledore nodded and continued.

"We already have two." Rong Jiu didn't express any strong feelings, because she didn't know what Horcrux production meant, and Dumbledore didn't intend to tell her, "Diary, ring. And Five."

"Actually, I already have some clues to two of them." Dumbledore tapped his head, "These days, I'm looking for something, it's a very tedious and difficult job, but I'm very Be happy, it wasn't in vain."

"Voldemort has been a child who likes to show off and form since he was a child, and he likes to collect things that have special meaning to him. The diary represents his achievement in opening the secret chamber, and the ring represents his life experience and glory." Dumbledore's gentle voice Echoed in this small room, "And from the few memories I get and what I know about the history of magic and Voldemort himself, the remaining two are probably Slytherin's locket, and Hufflepuff. Gold Cup."

"Slytherin's locket? Hufflepuff's gold cup?" Rong Jiu repeated with a thoughtful expression.Dumbledore watched the thought on the girl's face with satisfaction, but in the next second, he almost dropped his glasses.Because Rong Jiu answered, "What is that?"

Dumbledore struggled to control the twitching of the muscles on his face: "It is a relic left by the founder of the academy."

"In this way, there are only three unknowns left..." Rong Jiu muttered, "Is it possible that two of them are relics of Gryffindor and Ravenclaw? If I were a collector, I would definitely Gathered all four colleges."

"I think you're going in the right direction." Dumbledore tapped lightly on the table.

"Then what would be the other one?" Rong Jiu curled her long hair, frowning and thinking.

A complex expression flashed across Dumbledore's face: "Perhaps... I also have a clue."

Rong Jiu's eyes widened: "Huh?"

"But I can't tell you now." Dumbledore sighed.

Rong Jiu shrugged: "You just need to know, and there is no need to tell me."

"I hope you will keep paying attention to this matter." Dumbledore stared at her. "Maybe even Voldemort doesn't have as much knowledge about souls as you do."

Rong Jiu nodded.It's not who she is targeting. When it comes to soul issues, everyone in Hogwarts is hot chicken.

The two chatted about some soul-related issues, and the topic came to an end.And the moment she got up, a detail that she had ignored before jumped into her mind.

"Professor Dumbledore." She turned around abruptly, "Could the Horcrux be a living thing?"

Dumbledore's hand tightened unconsciously.

"Of course." He replied calmly.

"Then, could Nagini be the seventh Horcrux?" Rong Jiu's eyes widened, but his brows were tightened, as if he didn't believe his guess.

Dumbledore's face was still so calm, but his eyes suddenly became much sharper.

"Maybe." He raised his eyebrows, "How did you think of it?"

"The relationship between Nagini and the Dark Lord is too close." Rong Jiu said in a low voice, "Many times, the Dark Lord only needs to say one name, and Nagini will help him do it. It's also a bit too similar. And I heard that when the Dark Lord was at his weakest, Nagini was still by his side, a snake can't do this, right?"

"Is that so?" Dumbledore asked.

Rong Jiu hesitated for a moment: "Nagini has the breath of the Dark Lord... I thought it was because they stayed for a long time. But if you think about the Horcrux, it is not impossible."

It's like the breaths of Harry, Ron and Hermione are slightly similar.The three of them are together every day, and after five years, they will influence each other no matter what.

"I see, thank you, Nine." Dumbledore nodded, "If possible, I hope you don't tell Severus about the Horcrux part."

"Why?" Rong Jiu looked at Dumbledore in confusion.Professor Snape has always known the existence of Horcruxes!

"You don't want him to be more dangerous, do you?" Dumbledore just said with a smile, but he didn't mean to explain, politely indicating that this chat is over.

When Rong Jiu came out of the room, he saw Snape standing outside the door with a dark face, leaning against the wall with his arms folded, his black hair parted sideways around his face, looking soft and refreshing.She sniffled, feeling as if the whole space was filled with a faint smell of mint.

"Finished?" Snape glanced at her in a bad tone.

Rong Jiu jumped in front of him, and raised the corners of his mouth: "Yes, Professor, shall we go home?"

Snape didn't answer either, and walked straight out.Rong Jiu followed behind him, with brisk steps, the corners of his mouth turned up, obviously in a very good mood.

"Professor, what's for dinner?" She asked while putting her hand around Snape's.

"random."

"Hey, professor, I've become your little cook." Rong Jiu pretended to complain.

Snape stared straight ahead, and said flatly, "You also regard your dean as your driver."

"It doesn't count, you have something to do here." Rong Jiu protested.

"I hope you didn't forget so quickly that I sent you to see Nott yesterday." Snape said sarcastically, "Maybe Miss Rong has too many appointments, and a Nott didn't remind you honor?"

"Yeah." Rong Jiu sighed falsely, clearly felt that the hand holding her was tight, and couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, "After all, I'm dating you every day now, a Nott really doesn't matter to me worth remembering."

"A bunch of nonsense."

"It's true, look, aren't we dating now?"

"Be honest."

"Oh...professor, are you blushing?"

"..."

Oh, I've been watching exo's MV recently, really, they dance really well, they have a good grasp of strength, rhythm and feeling.Although I hardly pay attention to the entertainment industry [Yes, I mix novels and anime all the year round, but I think this kind of dance should be considered very good, right?At least it feels better than the dancing in some MVs I've seen.
