A certain Hogwarts rune professor

Chapter 513 An More Urgent Future

"Children, it's getting late, go to bed early." Mrs. Weasley ordered from the center of the living room.

"Aunt Molly," Neville asked softly, "when will my parents be back?"

"Don't worry, they are on night shift. If it's too late, they may stay in the safe house outside to rest." Mrs. Weasley's tone softened immediately.

Neville nodded silently, and followed Harry upstairs.

……

The bright and bright moon sprinkled silver light on the deep and dense trees and shrubs, casting a large and eerie shadow on the ground, stretching to the tall and neat hedge wall.A very respectable mansion loomed in the darkness. It was Malfoy Manor.

There was a rustling sound in the air——

"A peacock raised by Malfoy."

said a steady voice.He glanced warily out of the shadows, and at once saw the source of the sound, a white peacock walking gracefully over the top of the hedge.

The wizard stared at the peacock for a while, then lowered his guard, and spoke to his wife in a low voice.

"We have been staring at it for several days, and I think we can gain something today."

Alice looked out into a long, narrow corridor sunken in the middle of the hedge, at the end of which were two magnificent wrought-iron gates.There are wisps of mist in the forest, but when combined with the cool night breeze, it becomes not so pleasing.

"I don't know what Gnar is doing now?" she asked softly.

"Should be asleep by this time." Frank said softly, while holding Alice's cold hand.

At this moment, the air twisted.Accompanied by a soft sound, two figures suddenly appeared.One of them was wearing a long black cloak and a hood, which covered his entire face, looking cautious; the other was the exact opposite of him--although the slender wizard also wore a hood, but just now When it appeared, I couldn't wait to take it off, casually tossed the curly hair, and looked around.

"Put your hat on," the man growled at his companion.

Bellatrix snorted, "Since when have you been so timid, Lucius? This is your door."

"Of course I'm fine by myself, and it's okay to be seen." Lucius said with suppressed anger, "but if someone finds out that I'm with a escaped prisoner from Azkaban—"

He suddenly stopped talking.

Bellatrix, wand in hand, pointed at him with a sneer.

"Should show Narcissa the way you cringe at a party," she sneered, "Don't worry, I'm only here for a few days, and then I'm off to deal with those stinky giants, or— You want the Dark Lord to be replaced?"

"You were ordered to support the Carlo brothers and sisters, and I was ordered to infiltrate the Ministry of Magic." Lucius said impatiently, "So don't ask me to do this or that, so I won't go crazy with you— —”

Bellatrix strode toward the wrought-iron gate alone, her cloak rustling on the floor.A green light flashed, and the white peacock, which was still showing off its power just now, fell from the hedge and lost its vitality.

"Noisy stuff," she said contemptuously.

"Bellatrix!" Lucius screamed.

But her figure had disappeared straight through the wrought-iron gate, as if the gate didn't exist.Lucius stopped where he was, panting heavily.After a while, he strode in, and the surroundings regained silence.

Frank looked at his wife worriedly, her fists clenched and her teeth clenching. "That demon...she took 12 years of our time..." Alice leaned on her husband's shoulder, sobbing softly.

"Alice, let her be proud for a while, I promise you, she will pay the price." Frank put his arms around his wife, staring at the black wrought iron gate, and said in a cold tone.

……

Early the next morning, Harry watched Sirius hastily had breakfast and was about to go to work with Mr. Weasley, Bill, Percy, and Penello, and he held back what he wanted to say.

As if by a stroke of luck, the scar on his head, after years of tormenting him, had suddenly become kinder - but even Harry, thinking on his knees, knew that Voldemort couldn't have been kind enough to pass on knowledge to him through his scars.

The barely convincing reason is that Voldemort didn't know about it, and everything was done passively.

But why didn't this happen before?Or, when did it start appearing?

Harry thought again of that sudden kiss.He shook his head vigorously to drive away the messy thoughts in his mind.Even further back, it was when he 'saw' a vision of Voldemort in the Ministry of Magic.

"Molly, Alastor may come over later, he was on the night shift last night." Mr. Weasley reminded.

"Got it, I'll save him some food," said Mrs. Weasley.

Soon, they were leaving in a file, including Fred and George.

"Er - Professor, aren't you going to work?" Harry looked at Felix.

"I'll be there later," Felix said. "The company's current energy is on the anti-thief waterfall. I just sorted out its principles yesterday. What's the matter?"

Harry nodded hesitantly.

In fact, he wanted to ask Sirius for his opinion, but now he wanted to be a professor is also a suitable candidate.The professor knew that he was troubled by the scar, and taught him Occlumency. Now that the symptoms of the scar have changed, maybe it was as expected by the professor?And he can take the opportunity to ask about the Death Curse, the professor is quite fluent in using this magic...

Felix set up a cot in the study on the third floor. When Harry walked in, before he could see clearly, Felix had reached out and shrunk the cot down to the size of a matchbox, and stuffed it into the ring.

The study of the Black family has both the function of studying and entertaining distinguished guests.Therefore, in addition to the long desk and the collection of books filling three bookshelves, there is also a small sofa and a wooden coffee table in the corner of the study.The corners of the solid wood coffee table seem to be transformed from a huge tree burl.

"These are magical animals?" Harry looked at the dynamic stick figures on the coffee table with great interest. Various animal shapes were outlined in dark green ink, many of which he could name.

"Yes." Felix didn't elaborate.Gather the drawing paper together and tuck it into the ring.

Harry speculated that the professor might be preparing a comic book about magical animals, but he thought it was unlikely, but he would not have guessed that Felix was trying to build a magic-like talent matching plan for magical animals.

This can be regarded as one of the gains after Felix reflected on the battle with Voldemort.

In that battle, he didn't transform himself into a bird or snake, mainly because he thought it was too dangerous. Fantastic animals had no advantage in facing Voldemort's Killing Curse, but he was keenly aware that there was a huge hidden danger in it. treasure.

Because Felix suddenly discovered that Voldemort didn't seem to understand the transformed state of him and Dumbledore. At least the word Voldemort used to describe this state was "body transformation"-this is obviously Salazar Slytherin route.

From this Felix judged that although Voldemort's body may have been modified many times to make him especially suitable for the Dark Arts, which may be how his unique Killing Curse came about - Voldemort should not be able to transform into magical animals.

If designed ingeniously enough, this cognitive deficit could become Voldemort's death talisman.

……

"Professor, when did you learn the Avada Kedavra?" Harry decided to start with a small problem, but Professor Haip was too perceptive, so he just glanced at him and said half-jokingly: "Why, you Want to learn this spell too? Be brave enough."

"It's not that I want to learn, I—er—I suddenly will." Harry hesitated for a long time, and finally confessed.

Felix looked at him strangely. Could it be that Harry had learned the Killing Curse after seeing him use it a few times?He doesn't feel very good, he won't teach bad children, right?But when Harry described his two days' experience, Felix's expression became serious.

It was more serious than he'd imagined possible - Harry was vengeful and wanted to learn the Unforgivable Curses in private.

"Come with me." He said in a deep voice.

He took Harry to the small training ground on the fifth floor.

"Use the Death Curse to see."

Harry did so, and a green light flew from the tip of the staff.The two frowned at the same time.

Harry felt that the spell he cast today was much less powerful.Felix, on the other hand, saw a familiar shadow in the way he cast the spell, which meant that what Harry had said before was true.

And he knows more things, for example, there is a piece of Voldemort's soul hidden in Harry's body, so where does Harry's knowledge come from, is it Voldemort himself, or... that piece of soul?
"When you woke up the night before, you heard some noise in your head?" Felix confirmed.

"Yes, but not soon." Harry replied nervously.

Felix was silent, observing Harry carefully through the magic lens. Even he could only see a trace of evil magic power under the weakest defense of Harry's brain—that was still in the last school year. But now he didn't dare to try it out.

If his guess was right—Harry had inadvertently activated the dormant Soul Fragment—his stimulating it now could have dire consequences.

"Well," Felix said after thinking for a moment, "try the other two spells—the Cruciatus Curse and the Imperius Curse, and cast them on me." Seeing Harry's astonished expression, he smiled slightly, " I can still resist these two spells, don't worry about hurting me."

Harry waved his wand nervously, both expecting the spell to succeed and not expecting it to succeed.Under the mood of worrying about gain and loss, he failed of course, Harry turned his head and looked at the professor——

"Go on," Felix said quietly.

Harry said the spell stiffly, and when the hour passed, he hadn't managed a single one.

"You've got to show some determination."

"Curse the Unforgivable Curse in your face, Professor? I can't—" Harry muttered.

Then, he 'saw' Voldemort standing before him, his scarlet eyes staring at him, and he was startled.

"Go on," said 'Voldemort'.

Now Harry found his way very quickly, even though all he knew was spells, even though no one had taught him, and despite... he succeeded.Harry looked dazed and stunned; he seemed to have mastered the three Unforgivable Curses all at once.

How did this happen?
On the other side, Felix was lost in thought.

"Professor?" Harry asked uneasily. "Can Voldemort really use his scars to influence me? Even impart knowledge?"

"It's possible." Felix said, "But you don't have to worry. From your description, Occlumency is still effective, so the training in this area cannot be stopped... I will tell Dumbledore about your situation , maybe he can see something."

Dumbledore's reaction was faster than expected, he appeared almost as soon as the notification was sent.

He asked Harry how he felt in detail, and finally he wanted to take away two memories of Harry - the scene of 'seeing' Voldemort in the Great Hall of the Ministry of Magic, and the memory of him casting the Killing Curse for the first time.

Then Harry was sent away, leaving only the two of them in the small training ground on the fifth floor.

"Albus, do you think—" Felix said hesitantly.

"I don't know." Dumbledore shook his head. "Maybe it's just a pure coincidence. I can come up with more than one reasonable explanation. For example, the Potter family has an ancient heritage, and Harry may have inherited this talent; or Voldemort did To transfer part of my power to Harry, to bring about his current change..."

"However," he said solemnly, "it may also be the influence of the Horcrux itself. We have ignored a question before, that is, which Horcrux did Voldemort resurrect with the help of power?"

With which Horcrux?Naturally... Huh?

Felix wondered what the words meant.

Theoretically speaking, a wizard only needs one Horcrux. This Horcrux can be used as an anchor in the real world after the wizard dies, allowing the wizard's remnant soul to reside in the world.But Voldemort's insanity created multiple Horcruxes, which raised the question of which Horcruxes were actually functioning when he died.

You know, Harry itself is also a Horcrux, and he also has the function of keeping Voldemort's remnant soul alive.

Of course, Harry is not a qualified Horcrux, or rather, it was not a Horcrux that Voldemort intentionally created.It is not impossible that Harry will be needed to maintain Voldemort's remnant soul, but it is also very small, with other Horcruxes ahead.

But the problem is, long before Voldemort was resurrected, his Horcruxes were destroyed one by one.

The diary is the first;
The crown is the second, followed by the locket, and the big snake that followed Voldemort. There are four Horcruxes in total.etc--

"Is the locket destroyed?" Felix confirmed.

The Slytherin locket was still intact when he delivered it to Dumbledore.

"I kept it, originally intending to analyze the Horcrux—" Dumbledore shook his head slightly, "but I found another Horcrux, which is a ring passed down from Voldemort's mother's line. Voldemort imposed A vicious curse, I almost fell for it, thanks to your amulet for warning..."

"Is that so?" Felix nodded. There were still four pieces, but the order of destruction changed to diary, crown, serpent and ring.And Dumbledore still has a complete Horcrux locket in his hand.

That's five, counting Harry, it's six...

"If Voldemort had even a semblance of sanity, he would have divided his soul into nine pieces—"

"I personally prefer the number 'seven'," Dumbledore nodded slightly. "Although I haven't got conclusive evidence yet, I almost have a clue."

"Need help?" Felix asked.

"Ah, I can handle it, with Harry helping me... If the persuasion team is too exaggerated, it may scare my old friend away." Dumbledore said pleasantly.

Felix continued to think.

If the first horcrux to function was the diary, then after the diary is destroyed, new horcruxes must start to function, such as the crown.And after the diadem was destroyed, it was the turn of the snake and the ring, until now transferred to the locket or another unknown Horcrux.

But the above is the ideal state.

What if Harry, the 'half Horcrux' was also involved at a certain stage?There must be a connection between the sub-soul and the main soul, so when will this connection be the greatest?
Of course it is when the Horcrux keeps the main soul from dissipating.

This also explains the increasing frequency of scar pain before Harry learned Occlumency.Because his horcrux started to work!

"Albus, do you think—that piece of soul in Harry's body will 'resuscitate'?" This was the thing that worried Felix the most.

"It's not very likely," Dumbledore shook his head. "The function of a Horcrux is never resuscitation, let alone a piece of fragment can't do much... But, no one knows what the consequences of making a living person into a Horcrux are. , not even Voldemort himself knew."

"The Horcrux itself has extremely strong characteristics, but it doesn't show in Harry, all this shows that the living Horcrux is special." Dumbledore was silent for a moment, "I'm worried that Harry is 'digesting' the Horcrux, Or rather—fusing fragments of Voldemort's soul."

Felix raised his head in astonishment, but he had to admit that there was such a possibility, and he began to think about countermeasures.

"Occlumency can relieve this symptom."

"That's right." Dumbledore nodded slightly.

"Plus," Felix's blue eyes began to twinkle, "we can't wait another ten years - and Harry can't wait, having to deal with Voldemort's troubles in a year or two. The sooner the better!" "

"That's just the hardest thing," said Dumbledore softly.
