The misty sunlight in the early morning shines through the glass windows into the principal's office on the eighth floor of Hogwarts.

Ace and Dumbledore were sitting on the soft sofa, and the atmosphere between the old and the young was particularly harmonious.

"Yes, not entirely." Dumbledore put down the marshmallow in his hand, his tone filled with heaviness and guilt that Ace didn't understand.

Ace was a little confused, "What can I do for you, Professor Dumbledore?"

Dumbledore raised his hand, and a crown flew towards him from the shelf.Ace was a little shocked after seeing it clearly. He could barely make out the shadow of its Ravenclaw crown. The broken crown was decorated with a dull sapphire, and the whole thing was melted into shape.

"Is this Ravenclaw's diadem!?"

Dumbledore looked very regretful and said to Ace in a low and serious tone: "Ace, you know it is a Horcrux..."

"Horcruxes are extremely difficult to destroy. They were burned like this by fierce fire."

Ace looked at Dumbledore in confusion, feeling sorry for this originally exquisite and beautiful jewelry.

Dumbledore waved his hand, and a book on the bookshelf fell to Ace's hand. It was "Advanced Dark Arts Revealed". When he opened the book, the catalog clearly read "Horcruxes".

"As far as I know, there is more than one Horcrux -" After a pause, Dumbledore sighed and continued, "That kid Riddle may have made other Horcruxes."

Ace looked at the detailed introduction to Horcruxes in the book and felt incredible. His tone was sharp, "He split his soul into several pieces!?"

Dumbledore nodded heavily, "Yes, but we don't know how many Horcruxes he made..."

"Where can I get this information, Professor?" Ace immediately understood Dumbledore's purpose in finding her today.

Dumbledore marveled at Ace's intelligence and felt guilty for involving her in this matter, but for the stability of the wizarding world, it was all worth it.

"I heard Professor Slughorn invited you to his club?"

"Yes, Professor."

"Then go and have fun. Professor Slughorn has many outstanding students."

Ace understood that Dumbledore was telling her that Professor Slughorn had been Voldemort's teacher and might know how many Horcruxes he had made.

"Thank you, Professor, it was great chatting with you."

After walking out of the door, Ace sighed and went to the Room of Requirement with the "Advanced Black Magic Revealed" in his hand.

This book could not appear anywhere else, it is too dangerous.

Ace spent several days studying this book, which recorded almost all kinds of obscure black magic.

This not only allowed her to understand the production and protection methods of "horcruxes", but also had some new ideas about defensive spells - the ancient guardian spell can protect the people she loves from being harmed by the killing curse at the cost of their lives.

Ace has been studying how to reduce this cost, but has made little progress. This book records a kind of black magic that may be able to resist the Killing Curse, but it is only an unfinished remnant of the curse.

Putting the matter aside for the moment, Ace gracefully attended Professor Slughorn's dinner with Asta's help.

The location was in his luxurious office. Ace was wearing a simple little black dress, with his long hair tied smoothly behind his back.

There are already many people in the office. In addition to the students who usually have excellent grades in Potions class, there are also figures from the Holy 28 family, such as Lucius and Narcissa, who come from well-off families.

Ace also saw Diane and Snape. It seemed that Professor Slughorn was really open to outstanding students.

"Good day, Professor." Holding a glass of juice, Ace walked towards Professor Slughorn and said hello to him.

Slughorn was very happy that Ace could come to the club. This was one of his favorite students. He had never seen a wizard who could be as good as Ace. As for wizards, it was Tom. Comparable to her.

"Oh, look at who this beautiful lady is, all the boys will be looking at you tonight!"

"Thank you for your compliment, Professor. You are one of the most gentle and respectable people I have ever met."

"It's an honor, Ace. Go get to know the boys at the banquet. I think you will definitely learn a lot of new knowledge."

Ace smiled and raised his glass to Professor Slughorn before walking into the crowd.

This kind of banquet is actually very boring. Everyone has fake smiles on their faces and compliments each other.Ace has participated in many such banquets. In her opinion, this kind of meaningless interpersonal communication is actually not very necessary.

After all, when you are really in trouble, these people will never be the ones to help you.

Turning around and walking to the terrace behind the curtain, Ace blew in the evening breeze.

"I thought you went back, Ace."

"Diane, why did you agree to come to Professor Slughorn's party?"

"There happens to be nothing to do, and besides, the professor helped me a lot." Diane shrugged. It wouldn't hurt to get to know a few more people.

After chatting with Diane for a while, she was called away by other people at the party.

Brushing away the falling snow, Ace gently placed the wine glass on the fence, raised his hand and stretched.

"It seems that Miss Foley didn't mistake the wine for juice this time?" A low and sweet voice came, and Snape opened the curtain and walked over.

Before she reached Ace, she smelled the bitter taste of absinthe coming from him, like raw almonds, just like that night.

In fact, Ace can't quite remember exactly what happened that night. Her memory is vague, but her memory of the bitter smell of absinthe is particularly clear.

Blushing slightly, Ace turned towards the direction of the wind to cool it down.

"Why are you staying here blowing the cold wind? Don't expect me to make you another cold medicine."

"Is the way you care about people so special, Severus?" Ace glanced at Snape, "You won't win the favor of girls like this."

Snape opened his mouth and answered after a while: "I don't think I need to win their favor."

Pouting his lips, Ace did not continue the topic, "What are you doing here?"

"Let's see if Miss Foley has been frozen into an ice sculpture. In this way, you can be placed directly in the courtyard for people to watch, which will save Hagrid's busyness."

"There must be many boys willing to stay in the courtyard in the winter."

"You can indeed charm many stupid lions of Gryffindor, such as Remus Lupin? Gryffindor's red also suits you very well, just like Hufflepuff's yellow."

"That's such a shame, I remember saying I preferred Slytherin's green to Hufflepuff's yellow, Ravenclaw's blue or Gryffindor's red."

The dinner ended after a meaningless argument in the cold wind.

Ace was unable to get any useful information from Professor Slughorn for the time being, but only heard about Tom Riddle's excellence.
