Harry Potter: Who cares about belated motherly love?

Chapter 148 The Ancestor Killed the Basilisk with This Sword

When Harry started living at the Black family's, the Weasley brothers, who had been like brothers before, often came to play. Of course, the twins Fred and George also often came to the Black family's house. I asked them to look for a book about the soul preservation device in the Black family's collection. I wanted to look for it myself, but I really didn't have time, so I allowed them to come and check it out at any time. Soon after, they found the book that mentioned the soul preservation device in the corner of the bookshelf.

This device is called a **Spirit-Separating Box**.

This is pretty much what the Weasley kids imagined. I guess Harry could be one of the Sorting Boxes, but to resurrect, obviously he would need his body or the remains of a relative. So, as long as Harry lived a peaceful life and died of old age, it should be fine.

I have dealt with all the bones, and I don’t know how many soul boxes there are.

What's the point of living like this? I don't understand.

After that meeting, the Weasleys quickly found the graves of Tom Riddle's parents and relatives. The Weasleys and Remus replaced the real bones with the fake bone specimens prepared by Snape and recovered them. They replaced them one by one from distant relatives to almost unrelated graves.

Afterwards, we took all the recovered remains to the Malfoys, and Lucius burned them completely with devil fire. Snape smiled and said that if someone dared to use the fake skeletons he made for the resurrection ceremony, something interesting would definitely happen, and his expression was like a real black magician.

Have you really gotten over the dark arts?

Remus mentioned his last visit to the Gaunts' house, and I had some thoughts after hearing it. Before returning to Hogwarts at the end of the summer vacation, he went to the Gaunts' house to search for caution and found the ring that seemed to be the spirit box. He said that as soon as he arrived at the ruins, he felt a similar aura to the diary and necklace, and after searching everywhere, he found it and brought it home.

Originally, he wanted to use devil's fire to get rid of it, but he became interested in the stone and asked if there were any other methods. For Harry's sake, he suggested studying other methods besides devil's fire. I thought he made sense, so I kept the ring for the time being.

The book the twins found said that the soul box could be destroyed by the venom of the basilisk. They asked me if I had a sword made by goblins, saying that this kind of sword can absorb powerful objects, and whether it has absorbed the venom of the basilisk. I thought it made sense and started looking for it at home.

Sometimes it was nice to be a member of the Black family, as you could always find almost anything in the family's warehouse.

I wrote to Snape, saying that the twins had found a way to destroy the Sorting Box and wanted to try it. He replied that he would come to my house during the end-of-year holiday and asked me to wait for him to try it together. If it doesn't work, there will be a snake master coming from Japan during the Hogwarts basilisk inspection next year, and he can extract the venom at that time, which is indeed a good idea.

So at the end of the year, Lucius, the Weasley brothers, Snape, and Bill, who volunteered to participate after hearing about it, the five of us tried to destroy the Sorting Box together, and finally succeeded.

Wait...did my ancestor kill the basilisk with this sword? The ancient wizards were really amazing. After the Sorting Box was destroyed, we used the Repairing Charm to repair the ring. The stone looked very special, and I thought I could rest assured, but Bill insisted that the curse was still on the ring. Snape and Lucius agreed with him. The Dark Mark on their hands faded, proving that the Sorting Box was indeed destroyed, but Voldemort's curse was still working.

Why does he always have to make things so complicated?

Bill intends to specialize in the study of spell removal, and he decided to temporarily leave the ring at my house before the summer vacation next year. Faced with such a challenging task, Bill's eyes lit up and he returned to Hogwarts ambitiously, ready to strengthen his studies.

Why are the Weasley brothers so happy every time they encounter something dangerous?

Incidentally, shortly after the discussion, we found the cup that looked like the Sorcerer's Box in the Lestrange vault. Lucius brought a similar cup the next day, magically made it look exactly like the real thing, and then completely destroyed the real cup with devil's fire on the spot.

Since I was released from Azkaban, I have spent a year and a half dealing with four soul-sorting boxes: a necklace, a diary, a cup, and a ring.

So far, the Dark Mark has faded a lot, but it has not completely disappeared. It seems that the soul-binding box has not been found yet.

How many soul-separating boxes did he make...?

Well, although I'm still not completely relieved, at least I've dealt with the bones of my relatives, which makes me feel a little relieved. But I still can't let my guard down!
