[HP] How to properly feed the savior

Chapter 117 The Half-Blood Prince 8

It was a long time after they returned to the box that Harry came back with a tired face.

"He's just freaked out and overreacting." Harry grabbed a chocolate frog and started unwrapping it. "To be honest, most people who saw Voldemort appearing in front of them would not do much better than him when they were unprepared. And I was there when Dumbledore persuaded him to teach, and he was hiding all the time. Tibet, running from the Death Eaters, he thought it would be safer to go back to Hogwarts, and it turns out... well, you scared him, Tom."

"Don't talk to me, I'm just being silly," Riddle said angrily.

He also thought it was pure stupidity.Now that you already know what kind of person Slughorn is, why should you expect too much?Rather than saying that Riddle was saddened by Slughorn's fickleness, it is better to say that being blatantly put in a secondary position angered Riddle.And Slughorn also knew that his actions had completely offended Riddle. After all, Tom Riddle was also a favorite student taught by Slughorn.

"He's very guilty of you, I can see that he thinks he's responsible for Voldemort's birth. He said he was very optimistic about you in the past, thinking that you would enter politics after graduation and become the Minister of Magic or something. Not only He, many people who knew you at the time thought it was a certainty, but you chose such a radical path." Harry gnawed on the chocolate frog, "I told him that you are different from Voldemort , maybe closer to the model student he used to know. I told him some things about us, DA, and the battle in the Department of Mysteries. Go to his Potions class."

"I don't need his charity." Riddle snorted coldly.

"Oh, by the way, one more thing." Harry said, frowning, as if the thing that looked like a chocolate frog was actually a Bibi Spice Bean. "He said you didn't tell me the whole truth about the Horcruxes."

"What's a Horcrux?" Hermione pronounced the complicated word awkwardly, "I've never heard of it!"

"Which part of the truth? I told you everything I know." Riddle glanced at the others, as if he was thinking about whether he could discuss Horcruxes here.

"I am what your Horcrux represents. He seems to be very sympathetic to me..." Harry said thoughtfully, "It's a bad feeling, but I don't know why he looks at me like It's like I'm dead."

"Anyone explain what a Horcrux is?" Hermione raised her voice.

"A kind of black magic that separates part of one's soul and puts it in other containers." Riddle explained simply.

"So you and Harry are both Voldemort's Horcruxes, right?" Hermione nodded, "I went to the library to check when you mentioned soul magic last semester, but I didn't find much information about soul magic. I don't remember seeing the word Horcrux either."

"It's hard to find relevant materials even in the * zone. I don't know much. I'm just an accidental product. Believe me, I definitely didn't make such a Horcrux on purpose, and neither did Harry." Riddle spread his hands, "I don't know what Slughorn knows. For me, Horcruxes are very simple. I am an independent soul. Once I get *, I become an independent soul." people. Voldemort has nothing to do with me anymore."

"But it doesn't make sense? According to your point of view, I am also an independent person. Why does he look at me like that?"

"Harry, of course you are independent, you still have your own soul." Riddle said nonchalantly, "Who knows what is in his mind, maybe he just sympathizes with you sharing the same body with Voldemort's soul fragment. "

"That's right, it's really bad luck." Harry muttered.

Due to Death Eater activity, Hogwarts has stepped up its guards, and everyone is searched before entering the castle.Riddle decisively shrunk his shoulder bag and stuffed it inside his Snitch, causing Filch to stare at the two of them with empty hands and no school uniform.

"We just came back from America this morning, so we didn't have time to go to Diagon Alley to buy school uniforms." Riddle explained to Filch with a smile.

"Ender, come with me, we need to talk about your going to the United States." Professor McGonagall, who hurried over, frowned as tightly as the bun on the back of his head.

"We can mail-order textbooks and school uniforms." Riddle said quickly, "Isn't this against school rules?"

"I never expected you to abide by any rules." Professor McGonagall said to Riddle with a straight face, making the girls passing by laugh. "Go to the auditorium with your classmates, and then Professor Dumbledore will talk to you about the situation between you and Professor Slughorn."

"I won't go to his Potions class, never!" Riddle turned his head away, not completely calming down his anger.

"He will be happy to hear the news." Professor McGonagall waved at him, "Let's go."

He anxiously followed Professor McGonagall to the principal's office. Besides Dumbledore sitting behind the desk, there was an unexpected person there, Amos Diggory.

"So you are Ender Wiggin?" Mr. Diggory folded a newspaper and put it on the small table next to him. "I received a report that you illegally brought unclassified magical creatures into the UK this morning." .”

"What, what?" His eyes fell on Dumbledore's withered and blackened right hand, not sure if it was the trace that Voldemort said, so he didn't listen to what Mr. Diggory was saying. "How did you know?"

"This magical creature has contacted us directly. It knows how to obey the wizard's law better than you." Mr. Digory said in a businesslike manner. "We have reached an agreement with it, and we have set aside a habitat for it to live in." It only moves within the specified range and will never be exposed to Muggles. Judging from the information it provides, the danger level of this creature will not exceed level four, that is to say, it is similar to centaurs and mermaids. So I have already negotiated with Dumbledore, and I am willing to set aside a territory for this kind of creature in the Black Lake and the Forbidden Forest, so as to prevent them from conflicting with mermaids and centaurs."

"You have no idea what kind of creature you are negotiating with." There are no words to describe the shock in his heart at this moment. "You don't understand the consequences of letting them appear on Earth."

<This is not what we agreed.He quickly connected to the Queen's band, <Your direct contact with humans is dangerous for both parties.

<Humans in this world are different from our original world.They can understand my language and they know peace.There are already many non-human beings living here, and they live in harmony with humans.

<Have you communicated with other creatures?he asked in disbelief.

<In this forest, there is a creature with a high degree of intelligence, and they are as interested in the stars as we are.We had a great conversation and shared knowledge we didn't know about each other.There are also beings, whose structure is like ours, closer to beasts than intelligent beings, whom we can control, but whose feeble intelligence we respect, and with whom we would like to share this planet.In this water area, another creature agreed with us to use the water here. They said that the humans here are dangerous but are willing to communicate. As long as we do not violate their territory, they welcome us.

He felt dizzy. <How many lives have you communicated with?

<When you focus on human affairs, we scour the planet for as many beings as possible to hear our words.

"We do know a little about this kind of creature." Mr. Diggory obviously couldn't hear his conversation with the queen, "so after the cocoon you are carrying hatches and matures, we need to classify them and find out what they are. Are they level four or level five. If they are level five creatures, we will force them out of the confines of Hogwarts."

He no longer knew what expression to use to face Digory.Forced eviction?Do you think Zerg is as easy to deal with as Fire Dragon?

"I have consulted some creatures in the Forbidden Forest." Dumbledore said gently, "They all welcome the new species."

"Professor Dumbledore!" Hagrid walked in excitedly, "Aragok said that they are welcome to the Forbidden Forest, and that he will restrain his descendants from conflicting with them. Other creatures also agreed, as long as the new creatures Do not invade their territory."

<What on earth did you tell them?He had a bad feeling.

<We promise not to attack other creatures first.We don't kill humans if they don't invade us.If other intelligent life does not cause harm to us, we will not harm other intelligent life.Most of them live on the surface, we don't need the surface, we just need the underground.They are willing to live in peace with us and hope that we can mediate disputes between them and humans.

< Mediation?

<If humans try to harm them, we stop humans, in a non-violent way.

He rubbed his forehead, feeling that the development of the situation was completely out of his control.The reason why the centaurs and merfolk welcome the Zerg so much is probably because they are increasingly disgusted by the oppression of humans, and they think that the Zerg can help them restore their due status.And none of the group of humans around him realized the danger.

"Can I feed them?" Hagrid asked cheerfully.

"They're not beasts," he explained feebly to the group. "Their intelligence is likely to be far superior to that of humans. As far as I know, the technology they have mastered is thousands of years beyond the level of human development. If I release them, they will become the masters of the earth in a few years." Master, and humans have absolutely no way to stop them."

<We will not attempt to conquer Earth.We are not interested in the earth.We will soon fly away from the earth and look for other planets suitable for our survival.

He wasn't sure how many years the queen was referring to soon, but he dared to say that within this "very soon" time, human beings would not be able to develop the ability to travel between stars.

"You're talking about Muggles. Of course, Muggles are always powerless against magical creatures, so we wizards have to protect them." Mr. Diggory laughed heartily, "We wizards are the masters of the earth. will not change. I admit that it is not easy to bring beings such as centaurs, merfolk, vampires, goblins, and even dementors to our dominion. But we have magic wands! Even this new creature, they are the biggest The threat is nothing more than carapace and pincers, isn't it?"

"You have no idea what you're dealing with." He had a headache.If he didn't tell these people what kind of disaster the Zerg would bring, they would try to force him to hand over the queen's cocoon, and he was not ready to make an enemy of the entire wizarding world.But if he told them, he might become an enemy of all mankind. "I won't hand them over."

At this time, the door was pushed open again.Slughorn walked in with a middle-aged wizard he hadn't seen before, looking happy. "Albus! You are all here." Slughorn introduced the middle-aged wizard to them with a smile, "This is my student, Dirk Cresswell, the director of the Goblin Liaison Office .”

"Amos! You came so fast!" Cressway greeted Diggory. "How is it going? Those goblins said that they would give us a low-interest loan if we could help them borrow bugs that can mine and refine gold! The minister said that if this thing is done, he will give us the whole If the people in the company give bonuses, we can plan a public trip!"

"You should have told me sooner!" Diggory turned to him again, "Well, kid, you now know that this is not something to fool around with. Hand over that cocoon, and then you can go to the start-of-term dinner gone."

"It's you who are messing around, not me," he said to Mr Diggory, mentally contacting the Queen, <You are betraying my trust in you.

<We have no intention of embarrassing you.These humans are experienced in interracial relationships, unlike when we came into contact with you.This time we can make peace.

"Fine." Digory picked up the newspaper on the table again, "Let's talk about your affairs in America."

"Forgive me, gentlemen." Dumbledore stood up. "We have to host the opening ceremony. If you don't mind, I will lock the door of the office. No one can leave here during this period."

"Go ahead. I think we need to talk to this kid for a while." Digory nodded with a smile.

The professors all backed out, leaving him and the two Ministry of Magic officials alone in the room.

"Originally, people from the Department of Legal Enforcement were supposed to notify you of this matter, but the Minister gave me temporary authorization." Diggory threw the stack of newspapers in front of him.This is a Muggle newspaper. The headline on the front page is "British Junior High School Student Steals Major Security Secrets of the United States", and the subtitle is "Invented the World's First Quantum Computer". The photo shows him and Riddle going through customs low-resolution capture.

He hastily glanced at the content of the news: "...the youngest super hacker in history...stolen a large number of high-level secrets...has confirmed his identity as forgery...illegally invaded the customs system...used fake documents to enter the country...participated in the research and development of quantum computers Able to enter a military important place...holding the only usable quantum computer in the world...RSA encryption is threatened...the major banks are on alert...the current whereabouts are unknown, and the whole world is being hunted...a well-known professor calls for enlightenment rather than severe punishment..."

"You can write a novel with everything you have done this summer, Mr. Viking." Digory threw him another copy of today's Daily Prophet, and the headline was him again: "The United States Department of Magic requests the extradition of criminals, The International Wizengamot Tribunal is discussing the sentencing of the minor."

"Violation of the Act on Reasonable Restraint of Minors, violation of the International Statute of Secrecy, use of magic for crimes, violation of Muggle laws..." Digory counted his fingers in front of him, "Any one is enough to get you kicked out Hogwarts, your wand will be destroyed and you will be imprisoned in Azkaban for several years, or even life. We were notified of your situation by the United States Department of Magic a few hours ago, when the Ministry of Magic When the minister notified the British Prime Minister, we learned that the US government had informed the British government of this matter, and the British government agreed to assist in the investigation. Now the muggles all over the world are hunting you, as long as you leave the magic world, you will be killed in a few minutes Arrested by Muggles."

"So, what are you going to do?" He wondered in his heart which link had gone wrong, and the U.S. government would find out that he had stolen secrets so quickly.But this is not the most important thing, the key is how he will escape now.

"You are a very talented wizard, whether it is a wizarding government or a Muggle government, we don't want to lose a talent like you. Especially when you are so young, it is normal for young people to be ignorant, that's why you need Receive education at school." Digory persuaded him patiently. "If you are willing to obey the law and the Ministry of Magic, we are willing to deal with past mistakes lightly."

"You mean, either I hand over the Zerg cocoon and continue to be a good student in school, or you put me in jail and take the Zerg cocoon. You want me to choose one of these two?" He heard The other party's implication.

"Don't make it so harsh." Mr. Digory smiled. "But that's pretty much what it means."

"It's a pity that I don't want to choose either." He said softly, "I don't like conflicts, but I won't hand over Cocoon."

"Do you want us to force you to submit by force?" Cresswell asked behind him. "You think you have a chance?"

"It's easy to deal with you two." He turned his head and looked at the door.The hard part was getting out of Hogwarts, especially with Dumbledore on the block. "But I would prefer to resolve this conflict in a way that we can all accept."

"Hand over the cocoon, or you won't talk about it." Diggory was very straightforward.

"I don't understand why you guys are so obsessed with releasing the Zerg for your bonuses and travel?" He needed to look for the opponent's weaknesses.Since the other party is willing to negotiate, there is still hope.

"We're at war, kid," Cresswell explained patiently. "Our people are being threatened with their lives. Maybe you didn't read the newspapers and didn't know that some of your classmates had already been killed. Maybe no one told you how much damage we suffered in the last war. We must fight the devil Fight to defend our country. Wars cost money. The economy of the wizarding world has been in depression for many years. We need loans from goblins to afford this war. And if we can afford the loans, It needs what you call the Zerg."

"So you're saying that once we get rid of Voldemort and the Death Eaters, you can consider not releasing the Zerg?" He thought it would be easier.

"You have a way to deal with that monster?" Cresswell shuddered.

He pondered the question.The last time Voldemort was hit by the Avada Kedavra Curse, he didn't die, but only the ghost remained.Ordinary means can only destroy Voldemort's body, not his soul.There must be some way that Voldemort could live forever, or resurrect over and over again, just like... just like him.

A thought quickly crossed his mind.His body was indeed destroyed, but his soul remained intact and could be reborn, why?Those who died, did they all go to that world and have no chance to come back?The Queen said it wasn't the Resurrection Stone that brought him back, but the soul entanglement between him and Riddle.Soul... soul!That's right!Riddle is his Horcrux.

He remembered what Harry and Slughorn said on the train: "I know his secret, his darkest secret", "He said you didn't tell me the whole truth, about Horcruxes".

There are some things that Riddle really doesn't know.

He looked up and said to the two officers, "I need to speak to Professor Slughorn alone."
