Hogwarts: I Am Such a Model Wizard

Chapter 120 Conjectures about Horcruxes

Mrs. Longbottom and Neville were waiting here specially.

Ten minutes ago, Neville seemed to have misunderstood what Kyle meant. Instead of going to the therapist, he went downstairs and started shouting that there were werewolves, and tried to get others to go to the second floor to help.

 It’s just that no one believed what he said, even if they had just heard the noise upstairs.

 Because werewolves do not appear during the day, this is the most basic common sense in the magic world.

Moreover, this is St. Mungo's, a place where talented people are born. Here, people with mental problems abound. Just twenty minutes ago, someone claimed that he had a dragon upstairs.

 Just a werewolf, nothing to make a fuss about.

In addition, the therapists did not believe this fat little man with a round face.

 The reason why they are on the second floor is entirely because of another person.

—The curly-haired intern therapist who showed Kyle the way. He was in the ward where the werewolf was at that time and witnessed the entire process of the werewolf's transformation with his own eyes.

 Luckily, he was not bitten. Perhaps it was because the werewolf had just transformed and his mind was still confused, so he slapped him into the wall casually.

 As soon as he pulled himself out, he contacted other colleagues in a unique St. Mungo's way and told them about the werewolf.

This is how the previous scene happened.

On the other side, Mrs. Longbottom hurriedly found Neville after learning about the incident. After learning what happened from her grandson, the old lady immediately took Neville to thank her.

But they were a step late. When the two found Kyle, he happened to go to the sixth floor with the dean and Dumbledore.

Mrs. Longbottom simply took Neville and stood at the corner of the stairs until they came down.

 Later, Mrs. Longbottom also invited Kyle to a ward on the fifth floor.

Neville's parents were there, lying on the hospital bed, looking at Kyle blankly.

 “You saved Neville, and they want to express their gratitude to you.”

Mrs. Longbottom turned to look at the hospital bed and said with a trembling voice: "Frank, Alice, the child is here."

 But their eyes were still lifeless, as if they had not heard Mrs. Longbottom's words.

"Child, don't mind." Mrs. Longbottom explained: "I can feel that they want to express their gratitude to you in person, but they just can't express it."

While Mrs. Longbottom was speaking, Neville stood beside him, his head lowered, as if he was very interested in the tips of his toes.

 But such behavior made Mrs. Longbottom very angry.

 “Look up, Neville!” she said sternly: “You shouldn’t feel ashamed because of what happened to your parents, you should feel proud!”

"I didn't..." Neville retorted, his voice small but firm.

Then Mrs. Longbottom looked at Kyle again, straightened her back, and said proudly: "They were tortured crazy by the Death Eaters using the Cruciatus Curse... Those bereaved dogs wanted to find out where their master was, but they made the wrong call. Great idea, the Longbottom family will never compromise with dark wizards!"

 “It’s worthy of admiration…” Kyle was in awe.

 “Same to you, kid.”

Mrs. Longbottom said: "Being able to defeat a werewolf at such a young age is something that not many people can do.

  I hope that Neville will have such courage in the future and become an Auror after graduation to restore the glory of the Longbottom family..."

She turned her gaze to Neville and suddenly frowned: "Straighten your back, Neville, I've told you many times, keep your back straight!"

 After leaving the ward, Kyle could still clearly hear Mrs. Longbottom’s voice scolding Neville. He looked at Dean Sacia next to him and asked, "Can the injuries caused by the Cruciatus Curse be cured?"

“It’s hard, any problem involving the soul is hard to cure, and that’s true for werewolves, and that’s true for the Cruciatus Curse.”

Dean Sacia thought for a while and said: "The Cruciatus Curse not only brought them physical injuries, but also the pain of tearing their souls apart.

The wizard's body is very fragile. It is like trying to piece together a broken mirror on a tight balloon. If you are not careful, the balloon will burst.

What we can do now is just put together the prototype of the mirror, and wait for a more effective method to come out while ensuring that the balloon does not burst. "

 “Like wolfsbane potion?” Kyle mused.

"That's right." Dean Sacia smiled: "What we are waiting for is the "wolfsbane potion" that can solve the Cruciatus Curse, and we have been working hard for it."

Kyle said no more and walked forward silently.

 After mentioning broken souls, he suddenly thought of Horcruxes.

　　Yes, Horcrux... This is the most evil black magic item in the world invented by the despicable Herbo.

Kyle remembered that if you want to make a Horcrux, the first thing you have to do is to split your soul through killing, and then you can put it into the Horcrux.

 What if the soul is in a state of division from the beginning...can this step be omitted?

Just like the Longbottoms, their souls were tortured to pieces by the Cruciatus Curse. Don’t they just meet the requirements for making Horcruxes?

Kyle fell into deep thought.

Since you can’t piece together a complete mirror on the balloon, wouldn’t it be better to just take away the fragments?

Horcrux is a very special thing. It is like an extra body, or a bridge, connecting those broken souls.

What's even more interesting is that once this kind of bridge is formed, each soul fragment will become relatively complete. This is why Voldemort still didn't go crazy even after six Horcruxes were destroyed.

 It is precisely because of this characteristic that it allows a person to successfully achieve eternal life.

 In this case, can the broken souls of the Longbottoms be made into Horcruxes?

 After breaking the soul into pieces, don’t we no longer have to think about those fragments?

Of course, this is just an idea of ​​Kyle's.

 The problem now is that he has not read any books about Horcruxes. His understanding of this aspect is limited to the superficial knowledge in his memory. It is not clear whether this is feasible.

Kyle subconsciously glanced at Dumbledore not far away.

The other party noticed it quickly and gave him a confused look.

Kyle quickly turned his eyes aside.

 Ask Dumbledore?

forget it. He estimated that as soon as he said the word "horcrux", the Elder Wand would be hammered into the wall, and he would be embarrassed if he couldn't pull it out.

Since you can’t ask, you can only look for it yourself.

Kyle planned to go to the restricted book section to look for it after school started.

 It doesn’t matter if you can’t find it, there will be a diary for next year.

As for the crown in the Room of Requirement... to be honest, Kyle wouldn't want to touch that thing if he could help it.

 It's too dangerous and it won't do him any good.
