An infinite journey that begins at Hogwarts

The two people who made the deal and agreement with Voldemort quickly left the academy.

"I had known that a second-level skill book could be replaced by a basilisk, but I actually wasted a whole bottle of blessing elixir for this," the girl complained in the dense forest.

"You paid extra for a second-level skill book. Thinking about it this way, will it make you feel better?" Xue Ax said with a smile.

"Are you warriors born to ridicule this skill?" After hearing Xue Ax's explanation, the girl's mood became even worse.

"But using an unused second-level skill book to hook Voldemort is really not a loss." After finishing the joke, Blood Ax said seriously.

"I still don't understand how that ninja could release Voldemort so easily." The girl expressed her doubts.

They knew that the ninja stole the Ravenclaw diadem before the assassin, but they did not expect to release Voldemort so easily.

Changing places, if they get the Ravenclaw crown, they will never release Voldemort like this.

Unless there is a way to control Voldemort, or Voldemort makes an offer that is difficult to refuse.

The latter is much more likely.

After looking at each other, the girl spoke first, "It seems that Voldemort has many more resources than we imagined."

"After all, he is a fourth-level spellcaster who has dominated the British wizarding world for an era. I am not surprised by this, but what I am curious about now is the relationship between this Voldemort and the Voldemort possessed by Kino."

"what do you mean"

"Have you ever thought about why Voldemort sealed all the Horcruxes after he created them, but didn't use them like shadow clones?"

"Unless the Horcrux itself has major flaws, apart from splitting the soul, each Horcrux is independent and has an independent will." The girl quickly thought of the reason.

"That is to say, the purpose of Voldemort in the Ravenclaw Diadem and the one possessed by Professor Kino are not the same. The two may even be competing for dominance."

After Cedric used the invisibility cloak to rescue Harry, he ran to the Christmas party with Ron. He needed to show his face in front of the new people and create an alibi for himself.

Just like no one thought that the timid Professor Kino was a slave of Voldemort.

Nor would anyone have imagined that the righteous Cedric had been pretending to be the evil Dark Lord.

"Professor Professor Harry has just been kidnapped" Ron shouted in the hall with his drake voice, and the Christmas party came to an abrupt end.

Dumbledore came down from the chair with a serious look. Seeing Harry being supported by Cedric, he asked worriedly, "Harry, are you okay?"

"Professor, Harry is controlled by the Imperius Curse. Apart from being weak, there is no problem for now." Cedric said.

After listening to his explanation, Dumbledore breathed a sigh of relief, "We'd better ask Madam Pomfrey to check Harry carefully. Most black magic has strong side effects."

Then he turned to look at Ron and Cedric, "Can you tell me in detail what happened?"

The newcomers helped Harry towards the school infirmary, while Cedric and Ron led Dumbledore towards the Chamber of Secrets while telling him what happened.

After seeing Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets, Dumbledore showed a confused look.

"Did you find anything, Professor?" Cedric asked from the side.

"According to what you said, two mysterious men kidnapped Harry and opened the secret room, but why did they only choose to kill the basilisk and take away its body?"

"Maybe their target is Harry. If it weren't for Senior Cedric, Harry would have fallen into their hands." Ron said in a timely manner.

"Yes, maybe their real purpose is Harry." Dumbledore's eyes were serious, "The basilisk's body is just incidental."

He didn't even know where Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets was, let alone the Parseltongue needed to open it.

Harry can speak parseltongue without even realizing it.

And the reason why Harry can speak Parseltongue is because he is Voldemort's Horcrux.

But there are only two people who know this secret, one is himself, and the other is Voldemort.

Assuming that it was Voldemort who kidnapped Harry, then everything makes sense. As the heir, it would be easy for him to know the location of the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets.

Although Voldemort was unable to harm Harry himself because of Lily's magic, the minions around him had no such restrictions.

It seemed that the long period of comfort had made him careless. If Cedric and Ron hadn't happened to break Voldemort's conspiracy this time, Harry might have been in danger.

Thinking of this, Dumbledore looked at the two of them, especially Cedric, "Mr. Cedric, thank you for saving Harry."

"This is what I should do." Cedric said modestly, "The most important thing we should do now is to find the mysterious person who kidnapped Harry. They didn't succeed the first time and will definitely do it again."

"Yes, he will definitely do it again." Dumbledore's eyes were solemn, "Can I ask you a favor?"

"You say, professor."

"This thing is more dangerous, but I can't think of anyone who can complete it."

"Can you protect Harry for the next period of time?" Dumbledore said.

Although he can always protect Harry, Voldemort will not take action, and Cedric is the perfect protector, smart, and strong enough.

If you give the opponent one or two more powerful magic items, plus an invisibility cloak, it will be enough to delay it for a while, giving you time to arrive.

"It is my duty, Professor." Cedric said with a righteous face.

Looking at the student with a sense of justice in front of him, Dumbledore felt that he needed to give him some small rewards.

He smiled and said, "Since it is a private request, Mr. Cedric, I can pay you some reward." In this way, the life-saving magic items can be given away reasonably.

Cedric said with some embarrassment, "Professor, the phoenix blood you gave me last time has run out."

"Haha, Fox will definitely not be happy." Dumbledore agreed with a smile. A tube of phoenix blood was nothing to him.

After Cedric and Dumbledore finished their harmonious conversation, Ron interrupted, "Professor, why did you say they took the monster's body away?"

Obviously he has lingering fears about the 20-meter giant snake.

"Although I don't know their purpose yet, many powerful black magics require enough sacrifices. A basilisk corpse is enough to do many things."

"They must be planning a huge conspiracy." Cedric said.

"Yes, a huge conspiracy."
