[HP] Squib Prince

"You're right. I once helped him make potions to soothe soul wounds. Although it was only a few times, I remember it clearly..." After Snape finished speaking, the whole study fell into dead silence.

At this moment, even Brian, who didn't quite understand what was going on, fell silent.He understood the conversation between the two of them. In this way, Charlie was absorbed by Voldemort's Horcrux, and there may be more than one of these things, and there may even be such a thing in Lucius' home.

Brian thought for a while, and broke the suffocating silence in the study: "Do you know what kind of effect this thing will have? I mean, the specific principle of helping people escape death. For example, little Charlie's vitality is captured by the Horcrux After absorbing it, can this vitality help the Dark Lord to resurrect? Or is it stored in the Horcrux, and it will be useful only when the Dark Lord needs to actively use it?"

Bryan's question brought the two of them who had fallen into silence back to their senses.Lucius stroked his chin, his face returned to the original casual expression, and smiled: "This question is a bit interesting. However, there is very little information about Horcruxes mentioned in the current book, and most of them just tell you what Horcruxes are. A very evil black magic, using it to act on the soul, can bring people back from the dead. And you haven’t mentioned any of these details.”

"It should have nothing to do with the Dark Lord himself." Snape frowned and thought for a while, then explained, "From the conversation between the soul in the crown and Dumbledore, it can be seen that he is obviously very disdainful of the Dark Lord himself, It even has the meaning of replacing it. If the life force it absorbs will be absorbed by the Dark Lord himself, it shouldn't behave like this. Or, it shouldn't use such a method."

After hearing Snape's explanation, Brian nodded in astonishment, then looked at Snape with bright eyes, which he hadn't thought of himself.This undisguised admiration made Snape look away uncomfortably.On the contrary, Lucius slightly raised the corner of his mouth.

"Also," although Snape stopped looking at Bryan, he unconsciously said more, "Since Dumbledore wiped out the soul in the crown without any surprise, he is obviously more powerful than all of us." You must understand Horcruxes..."

"But you don't want to tell us?" Lucius had always had a bad impression of Dumbledore, so after hearing what Snape said, he couldn't help but ask.

Snape frowned. Although he didn't like Dumbledore's behavior, based on his understanding, if something as important as the Horcrux could win more support if it was spoken out, why did he have to punish everyone? hide?You know, as the dark lord's confidant, and his and Lucius' positions are not so firm, after the two of them know about this, they will definitely find some clues from the previous dark lord's behavior, which will help He's better at destroying Horcruxes.But Dumbledore obviously didn't want to let them know about it.Therefore, there must be something more important than finding the Horcrux.

Snape thought of this, and Lucius obviously thought of it soon after.He sneered: "Hmph, I knew that old fox was unreliable. Who knows what he's planning now?"

Only Brian, who was on the side, had a slightly better impression of Dumbledore among the three. He hesitated, and then said: "He seems to have explained it himself, afraid of causing panic? Moreover, he seems to have a good impression of the Weasley family. Not telling the truth."

Lucius just sneered, noncommittal.But Snape was unwilling to dwell on this issue: "It can also be explained, but this is not important."

Brian shrugged at Snape's perfunctory tone, and said nothing more.

"The important thing now is how do Horcruxes help people escape from death? How many such Horcruxes are there? How can they be destroyed? Will destroying Horcruxes help kill the Dark Lord?"

Snape asked several questions, and every time he said a question, the frown became tighter.Obviously, each of these questions was more difficult to answer than the other, and they had to figure out how to find the answers.

After Snape finished speaking these questions, Lucius suddenly asked, "You said that was Ravenclaw's diadem?"

Brian froze for a moment, then nodded: "What's the problem?"

Lucius laughed suddenly, that kind of smile that seemed to have suddenly found the answer was full of contempt and a little bit of complacency, which seemed particularly weird to Brian.Even Snape couldn't help staring at Lucius, frowned and said, "What did you find?"

"So, if a person has a hobby, he has a weakness." Lucius curled the corner of his mouth proudly, and said something irrelevant, but his tone was a little relaxed.

Brian opened his mouth, expressing his great indignation at Lucius' slander at this time, what time is it, and he has to arouse people's curiosity without answering.

However, Lucius is obviously not a person who is not ignorant of the importance. He was proud of himself for a while, and then immediately explained: "The founders of the four Hogwarts houses each have a representative thing handed down. I think You should all know it. And it is this crown that Ravenclaw has passed down. If the Dark Lord’s character is concerned, he would not just use a school’s things to make Horcruxes..." Lucius said later He didn't finish, but everyone here knew what he wanted to say.In other words, he has at least four Horcruxes!

Brian twitched the corners of his mouth. Is this Dark Lord a collector or obsessive-compulsive disorder?

"Gryffindor's sword is in Dumbledore's, so it should not have been made into a Horcrux by the Dark Lord." Snape frowned, denying one at first.

"If it's obsessive-compulsive disorder, he should be very uncomfortable..." Brian thought absently.

"Hufflepuff's gold cup should be with Bella." Lucius didn't care, he stroked the exquisite coffee cup handle, and said, "It stands to reason that this matter should not be spread, but that woman obviously wanted to show off her black The devil's favorite, I've forgotten this a long time ago. She said this at a family gathering." Lucius hated his wife's sister very much, and he still remembers how that woman arrogantly Said that her dearest master rewarded her with something that was enough to make everyone from Hogwarts proud. Although the college behind it made her dissatisfied, it was definitely a unique honor.She even hinted provocatively to Lucius that the position of the Malfoy family next to the Dark Lord will soon be replaced by her, and it is not far from the frustration of the Malfoy family.Thinking of the woman in Azkaban, Lucius smiled mockingly.

Snape also thought of that crazy woman, and the attack that almost cost Bryan his life because of this woman, which made him purse his lips, and did not refute Lucius' words.

"So there's one Slytherin pendant left?" Brian asked curiously. "Do you know anyone else who accepted the Dark Lord's gift?"

"This kind of thing is generally not communicated among the Death Eaters." Snape's brows did not relax. "Besides, he is very suspicious, and there are only a few people who make him believe it. Therefore, there should be no More."

After listening to Snape's words, Brian also frowned. He looked at the other party. If the Dark Lord believed only a few people, judging from the things he rewarded, he didn't have Snape's share. That is to say, the Dark Lord didn't really trust Snape that much... So, didn't Snape take more risks for Dumbledore than he thought?

As soon as Snape turned his head, he saw Brian looking at him with concern.He immediately understood the meaning of the other party, but now Lucius is still here, not the time to say this.All he could say was, "Don't think about it."

Seeing the two of them like this, Lucius smiled and didn't make fun of it. He just continued, "Based on what I know about Bella, she will definitely put away the Dark Lord's reward and will never let her fellow The Death Eater's husband had access to it. So, the cup is most likely in her own private vault at Gringotts."

Looking at Lucius' confident look, Snape couldn't help but relax a little: "So, as long as she can't be released from Azkaban, this is within your control?"

Lucius nodded reservedly, but Brian had already seen his pride from the slightly raised corners of his mouth.

Lucius said with a smile: "Just as Sissy took care of the Black family's property before, the private treasury belonging to Bella is also in Sissy's hands."

Seeing Lucius's appearance, Bryan thought of a word inappropriately in his mind - soft food... He suppressed this thought, then couldn't help curling his lips, he really didn't know what's so good about it Proud.

Except for Brian, the other two didn't pay attention to this at all.Snape only said seriously: "Now it is almost certain that there are at least four Horcruxes, maybe even more..."

Brian's eyes widened, and he said with emotion: "He is indeed a lunatic. The souls in those horcruxes should belong to him. He really can do something to himself..."

Snape just let out a "hum" through his nose.The amount of information he has learned in the past two days is really too much, and most of it is shocking information. He is now numb.

By now, the conversation is almost clear.Lucius stood up and nodded to the two of them: "Then, what we need to know now is how the Horcrux works and how to destroy it. I think maybe we can find this method if we look again. .”

Brian and Snape stood up too.

"We haven't looked for the Prince family's collection yet, it will be much easier if we have a direction." Brian looked at Snape and said.

When Bryan said this, Snape gave him a deadpan look.If he is just looking for information, he can accept it, but it is best to limit it to this.

Lucius looked at Snape with a smile, then nodded: "Then I will take my leave first. We will contact you if there is any progress in the future."

Snape stared at Lucius for a long time with deep eyes: "Have you already thought about it?"

Lucius was stunned for a moment, and then he didn't even change his face, he just said: "There is no room for regret. Besides, such a crazy person... I don't want the Malfoy family, which has been passed down for thousands of years, to be ruined by me. hands." After speaking, he seemed to feel that he was a little too serious, so he smiled again and added: "But it's too early to worry about these things. At least for now, we still have an advantage, don't we?"

Snape saw that Lucius didn't show any reluctance, nodded and didn't speak.

"Since there's nothing else to do, I'll go first." Lucius waved at Snape and the two, then left Prince Manor with a smile.

Brian looked at Lucius' back, feeling that Lucius was very chic.
