I, Hogwarts Week Two

Chapter 211 The Mysticism of Horcruxes

"Let Sirius continue to work hard?"

Owen raised an eyebrow.

Said frivolously.

The sound instantly made Hermione clenched her fists.

Those provocative eyes and arrogant face made me want to punch him.

"That's right, haha!"

But these words aroused Ron's high approval.

They laughed happily, and their voices penetrated the long table of Ravenclaw and fell among the crowd of Slytherins.

Immediately, the little wizard over there also hardened his fist.

Looking at the three extremely arrogant guys in front of her, Hermione frowned. For her, this method of using violence to control violence is not honorable. Although she often gets into it herself, she never used it Proud and championing this way.

There should be a more advanced way to end the endless loop of feuds between the four colleges.

This is a question she has been thinking about.

In the end, all she could think of was to use a bigger crisis to divert internal conflicts.

"Now the wizarding world is in an unprecedented crisis. Voldemort is watching. We have only destroyed one of his Horcruxes. He must have more. We should unite and not continue the internal friction." She said.

It's righteous, yet extremely correct.

Hermione's point of view is correct. The current development of the wizarding world is indeed somewhat different from Owen's expectations.

More chaotic than a week.

After all, the only thing that confused Zhou Mu was the character's gender and race. Without too much intervention from him until the sixth grade, the story was still very similar to the original work.

But now-

Voldemort's resurrection is well known.

In view of the current situation in the UK, whether it is the Quidditch World Cup in the summer vacation or the Triwizard Tournament next year.

It's unlikely to happen.

After all, other colleges and the Ministry of Magic will not put their students and wizards in deep danger.

The Christmas attacks had proven Hogwarts to be less than safe.

At least for foreign wizards, that's the case.

"Voldemort will not succeed, he was doomed from the beginning. The history of magic and Muggle history told me." Owen said, and then walked towards Hufflepuff's bench.

Everyone else followed.

After a while, Harry, who was confronting Slytherin, also came over.

The group of young wizards in the Snake Court who had a slightly high IQ might be afraid of Sirius behind Harry. Although there were a lot of people, they didn't do anything.

After all, no one in the school knew that Sirius was Harry's godfather.

His origins in the Black family attracted the attention of many young Slytherin wizards.

Although Sirius has long been expelled from the family, he is the only living male heir of the British Black family.

And Harry, as his godson, is bound to inherit everything from the Black family in the future.

This made those children from pure-blood families feel strange.

You must know that in the entire British wizarding world, if there is any family that can resist Malfoy in terms of financial resources, then only Black.

And Harry is not bad looking, the third grade savior is at the peak of his appearance.

Many Slytherin ladies and sisters had some strange thoughts in their hearts.

Not all pure-blood families are on Voldemort's side.

Most of the pure-blood families that have survived to this day are not old fritters.

How could they put all their eggs in the same basket?

Casting the net everywhere like the Rozier family is their norm.

So, except for the loyalists of Voldemort, most pure-blood families have an ambiguous attitude towards Harry.

Potter—but it is also an ancient family that has been passed down to this day.

"What are you guys talking about?" Harry happily sat on the bench beside Owen.

"We're talking about Horcruxes," Owen said.

As soon as these words came out, Harry's face became a little ugly.

This reminded him of what happened in the ancestral home of the Black family.

"Harry, don't interrupt." Hermione stopped Harry, and then asked Owen a question on her own.

"What do you mean by what you just said, what history?" She asked eagerly.

Hearing the sound, Owen didn't answer directly, but looked at her seriously, and asked, "Do you think Voldemort will succeed?"

"Me?" Hermione froze for a moment, then said with certainty, "No, of course not."

"Well—then it must not succeed." Owen looked at Hermione's cheek, and inexplicably remembered a certain fan novel he had read in his previous life.

It was written about the story of how after Voldemort's success, in order to promote population growth, all witches who were not born with pure blood became tools of production.

A story he didn't like.

"Then what do you think?" He asked the other little wizards again.

"Of course he will fail." Harry's answer was much crisper than Hermione's. He almost blurted it out.

As for the others, they were hesitant, but believed that Voldemort would not succeed.

Because as long as Dumbledore is around, he can't possibly succeed.

This is what most young wizards believe.

"The tarot cards told him that he would not succeed." At this time, Luna also participated in this topic. She took out a few tarot cards with gorgeous images from her pocket, and then looked at them very seriously. Said, "You-Know-Who is destined to fail."

"You're right, I agree with Luna in this regard." Owen finally began to elaborate on his theory, "We cannot interpret Horcruxes materialistically. After all, the magical world is full of mysticism."

"I wrote a small article, which was originally prepared for my cousin, but I can tell you about it first."

He didn't take out any parchment, but directly dictated: "Horcrux is a mystical symbol.

Seeking, souls, death, immortality and promises, these concepts are unique to Horcruxes, and to Voldemort.

Let us analyze the dual symbolic meaning of the Horcrux: on the one hand, it symbolizes the authority of the king, and on the other hand, it also symbolizes the eternal life that only gods have.

The process of Voldemort's pursuit of the Horcrux is to complete an unprecedented search, just like the human Muggle's pursuit of the Holy Grail, and the Holy Grail and the Horcrux he chose, the relics of the founders, have a certain mystery Attributes, whether religious or political.

Like Muggle monarchs throughout the ages, he attached a kind of faith to the holy relics of the past. These holy relics reflected and symbolized the authority of the monarch. The king was proud of his ancestors, heraldry and bloodline, and used this to declare his accession to the throne and legitimacy in power.And Voldemort also called himself 'the heir of the noble Slaterin', and he did nothing more than this law.

Professor Dumbledore knew this very well, so he could guess the number of Voldemort's Horcruxes and what they might be.

When he knew that there was more than one Horcrux, the number 'seven' naturally came into his mind, because in the Middle Ages the number seven meant 'fullness and perfection', after that he only needed evidence to prove his guess. "

Owen raised the silver cup placed on the long table, took a sip of pumpkin juice, and continued: "As for the holy relic that became the Horcrux, it is easier to guess.

Voldemort's pride and sense of superiority, as well as his determination to claim his astonishing place in the history of magic, lead us to believe that his selection of the relics of the Four Houses as his Horcruxes was inevitable.

When I discovered the first one, the other three came naturally.

In addition, substitute the ancient Muggle monarch.

Every time he is crowned, the king needs to wear a ring to show the lofty status of the royal family. The ring, like other items that symbolize royal power, is used to reflect the supreme status and power, so there must be a ring in his Horcrux. ring.

In addition, you don't know that there is actually a secret room in the Hogwarts castle, which Salazar Slytherin left to his heirs to clear the college of those who he thinks, or are his A person who future generations believe should not learn magic.

And the weapon left by Salazar is a basilisk, don't worry, Professor Dumbledore has already solved the basilisk. "

"Merlin's beard!"

"My God!"

"Inconceivable."

When they heard that there was a basilisk in the castle, the little wizards around all gasped.

It was such a shock to them.

"Don't interrupt." Owen glared at Ron, who reacted the most, and then continued: "The basilisk has been soaked in a jar by Snape, and it's in his private treasure room. Same grade, steal, rob, indulge. Just don't get caught by him."

His words just came out of his mouth.

Hermione had an embarrassed expression on her face.

Then she pretended to cough twice to cover up the strangeness in her heart.

Yes, that's right, Owen was talking about her.

She was the second year who wore an invisibility cloak and went to Snape's private treasure room to steal the ingredients for Polyjuice Potion.

It wasn't until the end that Snape didn't find out who the murderer was.

Although he had a hunch that that damn Pot must know something, but he had no proof, unfortunately he wasn't the headmaster at that time, otherwise he would have to give Pot some Veritaserum.

"The word Basilisk is very interesting (Basilic). From the root, it has the same origin as Basileus, which symbolizes 'king, and kingship' (Basileus), but after all, it is a Basilisk. Voldemort was probably not very old when he opened the Chamber of Secrets.

So we can speculate that there should be a snake in his Horcrux, but it is not a basilisk, maybe other snakes.

In this way, we can deduce almost all of its Horcruxes.

As for why he failed—"

"From the perspective of mysticism, it's because he didn't get the Gryffindor sword."

"He lacks the ultimate symbol of supreme power.

This is one of the most important symbols of royal power, and the sword represents justice and military power.

And its absence is a metaphor for the imperfection of the monarchy, and failure is inevitable. "

Owen finally stopped talking.

This list was originally intended for Dumbledore.

Used to prevaricate the old headmaster, why he can always find Voldemort's Horcruxes.And he seemed to know what Voldemort's Horcruxes were.

But the strange thing is that the old headmaster never asked him about it.

He'd written this down recently, intending to share it with the captured Death Eaters, mainly his cousin, Bella.

He knew it was useless, but it might be useful.

Just like you want to ask, what he said just now doesn't make sense.

Then - that's the same sentence, it makes sense after all, just give it a squeeze!

As for how much you have, it depends on how strong you are.

Owen's chatter ends.

The little wizards on the side were all dumbfounded.

Seeing the clear stupidity in their eyes, Owen had to shake his head.

Don't blame them, as for occultism, the key school doesn't teach it!

However - although the young wizards disagreed with what he said, they were shocked that Owen could deduce how many Horcruxes Voldemort had and what they were.

"If the relics of the four founders were all made into Horcruxes by Voldemort, then where is the golden cup of your Hufflepuff House? Can you guess this?" Hermione expressed doubts about what Owen just said.

In her opinion, Owen who could say this was infinitely close to Professor Sybill Trelawney.

The same incoherent and nagging.

"Test me." Owen turned his head and looked at her with a smile. "The golden cup and the golden crown are symbols of the pope, implying the representative of the gods in the world. Voldemort used these two relics to strengthen his mystery. , and in Celtic mythology, the golden cup is also a symbol of supreme power, usually in the hands of a woman.

This makes it easy to get directions, because there are not many witches among the Death Eaters, and there is only one person who can reassure Voldemort. "

"Bellatrix?" Hermione said the name immediately.

"As for its location!" Owen looked at her with a smile.

It made Hermione's hair tingle.

"It's impossible for Bella to dig a hole to bury the golden cup, and she will not entrust this thing to others, because this is the trust of the 'Dark Lord' alone, and it is a 'reward' for her loyalty. The wizarding world There are not many places in the world that are capable of protecting important treasures here, except Hogwarts, the safest place, that place is almost at the edge of our mouths."

"Gringotts!" Harry immediately reacted, because Hagrid told him that Gringotts was the safest place in the entire wizarding world, except for Hogwarts.

In the first grade, it protected the Philosopher's Stone.

"She put the gold cup in her vault!" Even Ron responded.

"Obviously." Owen raised his head, with a childish expression on his face.

"Everyone's behavior has unique personal characteristics. Like senior Tom Riddle, everything he does is nothing more than rebuilding a set of his own new contemporary mythology based on the past mythology. What he does There are traces to be found, as long as you can see a little bit, you can see everything.

Stupid to make people laugh, because it's so easy to guess.

Professor Dumbledore can guess all his plans almost instantly.The only thing that makes him afraid is only one variable. "As he spoke, Owen looked at Harry with an inexplicable look in his eyes.

If not for the presence of Harry.

Voldemort was already broken into seven pieces by Dumbledore.

Old Deng was able to play this boring game with Tom for a full seven years, except that he was steady—although he could guess everything, he had to seek evidence, which wasted time.

All that was left was worrying that Harry would become the next Dark Lord.

He couldn't tolerate another brand new Demon King appearing in this world.

———Unfortunately, as far as the current situation is concerned, the birth of a new devil king is only a matter of time.

Harry was a little terrified by Owen's stare.

The shock that Hermione felt was more of a horror!

Owen is terrible.

Not just his talent for magic.

It is his way of thinking that is completely different from that of wizards. It is a Muggle way of thinking, purely rational and not mixed with any personal emotions.

She would never believe that what Owen just said was told by Professor Dumbledore.

I'm afraid he guessed most of it himself.

This fact scared her.

Because if Owen becomes the next Voldemort.

Then she really couldn't think of anyone else who could defeat him.

Gradually, she felt more panic.

There is also more impatience.

The look in Owen's eyes became more and more complex.I felt at a loss about his complexity, and I also felt helpless because the fantasy echoing in my heart never got a result.

She began to miss herself in the first grade.

That is, Owen's face is not comprehensive, although she hates him, but——

Now, she was even afraid of giving birth to that emotion.

Harry, with flustered eyes, turned his sideways to avoid eye contact with Owen.Then reluctantly said, "We should hurry up and tell Professor Dumbledore the news!"

"What's the rush? Jinbei can't run away!"

"Talking about Voldemort's Horcruxes, it's better to let us discuss what Snape ate recently. What did Sirius do? He reacted so strongly."

"You don't know?" Ron looked at him in shock.

As Hogwarts' famous pioneer of fun, he didn't even know about it!

It's really unbelievable enough.

"It's spread throughout the school that Sirius and Snape had a duel." Hermione whispered, but she didn't dare to meet Owen's eyes.

"Duel?" Owen was stunned for a moment, "Who won?"

"."

"Your focus shouldn't be on the professor who wants to set an example for little wizards, shouldn't you be so impulsive?" She clutched her sleeves tightly with her hands, but still pretended to be calm on her face, and retorted as always.

It's like she's still the same person she was before.

"Yes! The professors really want to set an example for young wizards." Owen nodded, and then said: "So who wins!"

"No one wins."

"The two of them were separated by Professor McGonagall as soon as they started."

"But after class, Sirius told us that if we just gave him a few more minutes, he could defeat Snape."

"Huh - then I'd rather believe that Harry can get an O in Potions."

"More than ten years ago, they might have been evenly matched. But after all, Sirius had been imprisoned in Azkaban for 13 years, and his magic power and fighting skills had regressed. Snape's strength has improved a lot in these ten years. It's no wonder he can beat it!

But Sirius can call on Professor Lupine for a righteous two-on-one. "

"Then why don't I take you with me? I see you've been grudged against that old snot for a long time." Just when Owen was about to briefly introduce the strength gap between the two sides.

Suddenly a familiar voice came from behind them.

Turning their heads, they saw Sirius in a brown robe behind him.
