Ancient Warlocks at Hogwarts

"It seems that you have discovered something remarkable." Dumbledore stood at the door with a gentle smile on his face. He was not surprised by the sudden appearance of the house, and did not seem to be worried about the hanging that could not be destroyed. Locket.

"Dumbledore!" "Professor Dumbledore!" "Mr. Headmaster!"

Various titles were rang out, and everyone's eyes focused on the old man for an instant.

After greeting everyone one by one, Dumbledore asked to see the locket.

Sirius immediately took the headmaster into Regulus' room on the second floor. When they came down to greet Dumbledore, they did not take down the locket together.

"This is indeed Slytherin's locket. Like Gryffindor's sword, Hufflepuff's golden cup and Ravenclaw's diadem, they are all things handed down by the four founders of Hogwarts. "Dumbledore looked at it carefully and explained to the people present: "Voldemort showed this tendency when he was a boy. He always liked to collect items belonging to legendary wizards.

"But he...I mean why did the mysterious man hide this locket in a cave?" It was Mr. Weasley who asked this question.

However, Dumbledore did not give an answer. He shook his head and said, "I don't know why Voldemort did this, but I think we can first find out what secrets are hidden in this locket."

After hearing what Dumbledore said, Ron couldn't help but said: "What kind of spell was cast on this locket? The house elf said that he tried all methods but could not destroy the locket, and my father I just used a lot of spells, but I couldn't leave any traces on it."

"Perhaps we can try using means other than magic, Andre, I remember you left some basilisk venom, right?" Dumbledore answered Ron's question with a smile, and then turned his attention to Andre on the side.

Unexpectedly, it only took the greatest white wizard of this century a short time to see through the depth of the locket, but I don't know if he had already guessed that it was Voldemort's Horcrux.

While thinking to himself, Andre took out his space pocket, then took out a small bottle of dark green venom and handed it to the principal.

After Dumbledore took the poison, the locket in his hand immediately changed.

The slightly trembling box made everyone's eyes widen. They had never seen any reaction from this locket before.

"I think I have some idea of ​​what this is." Dumbledore's eyes became unusually serious, and he whispered: "I never thought that Voldemort would actually use this magic."

"What magic, Professor?" Everyone was confused.

"An ancient and evil black magic. Sometimes I really think that this magic has never appeared in our world." Dumbledore did not tell him about the Horcrux immediately, but opened the small book that Andre gave him. bottle, and poured a small drop of venom onto the locket.

Just like a drop of water dropped into the hot oil, with a "squeak" sound, a small hole was instantly dissolved into the originally indestructible locket.

Immediately afterwards, a transparent human figure suddenly appeared on the box. It was a young and handsome face, completely different from the face Andre and the others saw behind Quirrell's head.

But there is no doubt that this is Voldemort, but when he made this Horcrux, he had not completely transformed himself into what he is now.

"Tom, it's been a long time no see." Dumbledore said to this transparent soul.

But Voldemort's remnant soul didn't think such a meeting was a good thing. His handsome face was almost distorted, and there was an astonishing hatred in his eyes that had not yet turned red.

"Dumbledore!!!"

Accompanied by a shrill cry, the soul finally said no other words and disappeared into the air.

"Is this!?" Sirius and Mr. Weasley were both frightened, not to mention the other little wizards and Mr. Granger, who didn't even know magic.

"As you can see, this is Voldemort. Of course, he looked just like when he was young," Dumbledore said.

"But...but how could Voldemort be in a locket? I obviously saw him only a few weeks ago." Harry asked in confusion.

"Wait! Did you see the mysterious man a few weeks ago!?" But after hearing Harry's words, Mr. Weasley couldn't help it. Harry should have stayed well at Hogwarts in the past few weeks. How could he meet Voldemort?

Regarding this matter, apart from a few parties involved, only the teaching staff of Hogwarts and Sirius knew something about it.

The Ministry of Magic's investigation report on the Pettigrew incident did not reveal any information about Voldemort.

"This is not Voldemort himself, but a fragment of his soul." Dumbledore answered Harry's question first, and then said to Mr. Weasley: "Arthur, I told you about Voldemort's return. Connelly, but it seems that he didn't take it to heart. As for the specific story, I think you can ask your children, Ron was also present at the time."

Mr. Weasley looked at his youngest son in surprise, which made Ron touch his head in embarrassment. He was actually not prepared to tell his parents about this. After all, if Mrs. Weasley knew that he was It was hard to imagine what the chubby middle-aged witch would do after experiencing such a terrible thing in her first grade.

On the other side, Sirius also raised his own question: "But what kind of magic is this? I have never heard that a person's soul can be divided into two."

"Normally it's impossible, but there is a dark magic that can help those evil wizards split their souls." Dumbledore said.

"Then why did Voldemort do this? What benefits would splitting his soul bring to him?" Sirius continued to ask.

Dumbledore sighed and said: "This is a spell created by an ancient Greek wizard. It allows the user to split his soul with the help of murder. Voldemort obviously learned this spell, and he put the split soul into He took this Slytherin locket and made it into a Horcrux. As long as this Horcrux is not destroyed, his main soul will never disappear. I think I also figured out why he was the one 12 years ago. There is no reason to die at night.”

"Is this why he hid this locket in the cave?" Sirius took a breath, and now he understood what his brother had sacrificed himself for.

"Yes, this can explain why he went to great lengths to hide the locket, but unfortunately, he never paid attention to those who were far inferior to him. Without Kreacher, I think we would never have discovered this secret." Dumbledore concluded.
