Connor's Hogwarts

Chapter 284 When Dumbledore learned about the Horcrux.

"Professor Dumbledore, I have found Ravenclaw's diadem."

When Connor ran into the principal's office and said this, Dumbledore's expression was "???".

He thought Connor was just joking. You suddenly found something that no one had discovered in the past thousand years? I'm afraid you're not kidding me.

But when Connor took out the crown from his treasure pocket, Dumbledore was so surprised that he stood up, not because of the crown, but because he felt Voldemort's breath from the crown.

"Is this really Ravenclaw's diadem?" After Dumbledore calmed down, he asked with a look of surprise on his face: "Why does it have the aura of Voldemort on it?"

"This is a long story," Connor picked up the cup, took a leisurely sip of tea, and said, "It starts from the dark and windy night two days ago."

"." Dumbledore narrowed his eyes and silently expressed the threat: "This is not the time for joking, please be more serious."

"Ahem, actually I got the news about the crown from Ms. Gray, and she also told me that she also told a student named Tom about the crown decades ago."

Connor honestly confessed (throwing all the blame to Helena), asking that it was Helena who said it, and then said that he happened to see Quirrell in the Room of Requirement and discovered the crown by chance.

".That's it. I saw Quirrell staring at this crown for a long time. At that time, I immediately thought of Ravenclaw's crown. After Quirrell left, I took the crown away."

Connor took another sip of tea. There was nothing wrong with his explanation. Anyway, he discovered it "by chance". Thanks to Quirrell, Connor no longer had to think of a reason to hide how he knew where the crown was.

Dumbledore didn't doubt him, or he didn't expose his suspicions. He nodded and said: "I'm not sure whether this is Ravenclaw's diadem, but... I know that it is a Horcrux! "

Dumbledore narrowed his eyes and looked solemn. Just as he was about to explain to Connor what a Horcrux was, he heard Connor say

"Yeah, I guessed it too."

Dumbledore was frightened once again.

"How do you know about Horcruxes?"

"Ms. Gray told me. She said that Ms. Ravenclaw also has a Horcrux. I have a rough idea of ​​what a Horcrux is."

"." Dumbledore was silent. He felt that since he accepted Connor as a student, his ability to maintain his energy had gotten better and better. He would probably be frightened a few more times, and maybe even one day Connor would come and tell him that Voldemort If he killed me, I probably wouldn't be surprised.

After a while, Dumbledore said with a sigh of relief: "Connor, you brought me another surprise... You always bring me surprises. I think I understand the reason why Voldemort does not die..."

Compared with the illusory treasure, Dumbledore's focus was more on Voldemort, the enemy for the rest of his life.

"Horcruxes... No wonder he is so confident..." Dumbledore stroked his beard and said: "I have had several conjectures before, and Horcruxes are one of the possibilities that I am most suspicious of. Now it seems that it is confirmed. ”

"It's just...I don't know how many Horcruxes he separated..." Dumbledore muttered to himself, lost in thought.

According to the original trajectory, Dumbledore figured out the secret of Voldemort's immortality after seeing Tom's diary during the Chamber of Secrets incident in Harry's second year.

But now, under the influence of Connor's restless butterfly, he knows about this in advance. What consequences this will have is still unknown.

"Professor Dumbledore, how much do you know about Horcruxes? To be honest, I am actually more concerned about whether this Ravenclaw diadem has been destroyed by Voldemort? Ms. Gray said that the diadem was found by Ravenclaw. The key to the treasure, now... can this key still be used?"

To Connor, Horcruxes were not new, but Ravenclaw's diadem was new. The two foxes had completely different concerns.

Dumbledore picked up the tarnished crown, observed it for a moment, and pondered: "To be honest, I'm not very sure... I mean, although this is indeed a very powerful magic item, I'm not sure what it is. It’s not a real Ravenclaw diadem, so I don’t know if it still has its original function after it was transformed by Voldemort.”

"But it's not difficult to destroy it." A strange light flashed in Dumbledore's eyes.

"Um, wait, wait! Professor Dumbledore, can you separate Voldemort's soul? Or directly destroy Voldemort's soul without destroying the crown?" Connor didn't want to just lose the crown, he also wanted to hunt for treasure. Woolen cloth.

Dumbledore shook his head: "No, I haven't done much research on Horcruxes. I have no way to remove the remaining souls inside while ensuring that the crown is intact."

Connor sighed in disappointment and heard Dumbledore say again: "But why not give your Saber a try?"

"Eh?"

"Doesn't your magic painting have a soul? Can you ask her if she can directly attack Voldemort's soul?" Dumbledore asked with interest.

Connor was stunned by what Dumbledore said. He really had not thought about this possibility. He immediately asked: "Saber, saber, can you attack the soul directly?"

Arturia's figure appeared next to Connor. She shook her head and said: "No, Master, my attacks are all caused by magic transformation to cause damage. Maybe there are spells that can use magic to attack the soul, but Obviously, I don't."

Artoria is very clear about the scope of her abilities - she can't do anything that Connor has not given her.

"But if I hit it directly with my soul, I might be able to damage it. Do you want to try it?"

"No, no, no! Forget it." Connor quickly waved his hand and said, "I don't need to trouble you about this, Saber, just go back first."

Arturia glanced at Connor with a deep look, then without saying anything, she transformed back into Connor's earrings.

Dumbledore smiled, pushed the crown back in front of Connor, and said, "Actually, as long as the Horcrux body is destroyed, the soul inside will disappear naturally, but it seems you don't want to do that."

"Of course! This is Ravenclaw's diadem! What a waste if it is broken directly!" Connor slapped the table confidently.

To put it bluntly, destroying a precious magical treasure by killing a remnant soul like Harry did was simply a waste of resources. Connor would not do such a fishy Gryffindor behavior.

"In that case, let me leave this crown with you first. You can take it to Ms. Gray. She may be able to confirm the authenticity of the crown, and she may have some special clues."

Dumbledore didn't mind Connor holding the Horcrux. Firstly, he knew that Connor could resist the influence of the Horcrux. The Horcrux would be safe for him. Secondly, Dumbledore had no use keeping it. It would only last for a while anyway. Since I can't find anything, I might as well give it to Connor and let him use it to deceive ghosts.

Connor smacked his lips. He could feel that Dumbledore was trusting him more and more. This should be a good thing.

"Professor, if I destroy the remnant soul in the diadem, will Voldemort himself notice it?" Connor asked a little uneasily.

"No, not to mention that Voldemort is so weak now. As far as I know, after a Horcrux is separated, it is considered an independent individual. Even if it is destroyed, the main body should not be said to be the main body. In fact, each Horcrux itself is considered [ [Original body], do you understand?" Dumbledore knocked on the table and said: "If you can destroy the remaining soul in the Horcrux, just do it directly and he will not find out."

Connor nodded reassuringly, put away the crown, and said, "So Professor, what are your plans next?"

"Well, now that I know about the Horcrux, many of my arrangements have to be changed."
