The vicious incident caused by the opening of the secret room completely changed the fate of the three people.

The first was the weeping myrtle, who died in that incident. The second was Hagrid, who was wronged and disqualified from attending Hogwarts, imprisoned in Azkaban, and with it, his wand was broken, and his father died of grief, and his life changed dramatically.

Finally, there's the mastermind of the event, Tom Riddle.

Strictly speaking, Voldemort's first actively crafted Horcrux, Riddle's Diary, was born at that time.

But in reality, Voldemort's fall predates that event long before that incident, on the night he went to find his uncle.

If fifteen-year-old Riddle said last time was true, then his ring with Gaunt should have been Voldemort's first Horcrux, a Horcrux that appeared by accident, and after that, the good part of his soul was stripped from the main soul, and Voldemort went further and further down the path of evil, and became more and more unscrupulous.

Therefore, the opening of the secret room more than 50 years ago is a landmark event. During that incident, Riddle took the initiative to create his first Horcrux, Riddle's Journal, which marked his decision to make himself remembered by the wizarding world as Lord Voldemort.

"I later surveyed a lot of people and asked them about Riddle's school, and those who were willing to reminisce about me told me that Riddle was fascinated by his origins. Dumbledore said, "Of course it's understandable, he grew up in an orphanage, so naturally he wanted to know how he got there." As I've told Evan before, it seems that he had searched for Tom Riddle Sr. in the prize room, in the prefect list of the school's old records, and even in the history of magic books, but found nothing, and was forced to admit that his father had never been to Hogwarts. I believe it was then that he abandoned the name and changed his name to Voldemort's, and began to investigate the family history of his mother, whom he had previously despised. We all know that he once thought that the woman could not be a sorcerer since she succumbed to death, the shameful weakness of humanity. ”

So, his only clue was the name 'Mavolo', which he learned from the orphanage administrator that it was his grandfather's name. After a painstaking search of old books and wizarding families, he finally found the remnants of the Slytherin family. In the summer of fifteen, he left the orphanage, to which he had to return every year, to look for his relatives in the Gaunt family. Dumbledore paused for a moment and continued, "What happened later became clear, Riddle found his uncle and his father and grandparents that summer, but he didn't have the joy of being reunited with his loved ones, he did something terrible to them, and left behind a Horcrux, a Horcrux that he didn't expect...... Well, Harry, I want you to see these things more than listening to me. ”

As he spoke, he pulled out a small crystal bottle filled with swirling, pearly memories.

Dumbledore poured the memories into the meditation basin, and he motioned for Evan and Harry to stand up.

They approached the stone basin in turn, leaned down obediently, and soaked their faces in the memories.

Seconds later, Evan was back in the familiar darkness, and he fell from high in the sky and landed on a dirty stone floor.

This is the Gaunt family's cottage, the same as Morfin was when he returned from Azkaban.

The surroundings were indescribably filthy, with thick cobwebs on the ceiling, a black floor, moldy food and a pile of rusty pots on the table, and the only light came from the faltering candle at Mofen's feet, his hair and beard had grown to cover his eyes and mouth, and he sat quietly in the dark.

He was awakened by a knock on the door, and a pale, handsome boy appeared in the doorway.

The next conversation had been heard by Evan once before.

Morfin, who is already mentally disturbed, thinks that Voldemort is Tom Riddle Sr., and after a brief exchange, Voldemort learns that his father abandoned him and his mother and returned to Riddle House, and that he sees the ring on Morfin's hand, the heirloom of the Gaunt family, and the ring left by Slytherin.

Of course, he didn't recognize the resurrection stone on the ring......

In a burst of curses, everything went dark and the three of them returned to reality.

"That's all?" Harry immediately asked, "why did it go dark all of a sudden, and what happened next?"

"Morfin can't remember what happened after that. Dumbledore said, pulling out another glass bottle containing his memories, "He woke up the next morning with a man lying on the ground, and Marvolo's ring was missing. Meanwhile, in the village of Little Hangleton, a maid screams and runs down the street, saying that there are three bodies in the living room of the big house: Old Tom Riddle and his parents, all dead. ”

"The Muggle authorities are at a loss for what to do, and as far as I know, they still don't know how the Riddles died, as the Avada Curse generally doesn't leave any scars, with the exception of being sitting in front of me. Dumbledore nodded at Harry's scar and continued, "But the Ministry of Magic knew right away that it was a wizard's killer, and they also knew that a Muggle-hating man lived across the street from Riddle's house, and that he had been in prison for assaulting one of the victims in the case. ”

The Ministry of Magic then approached Morfin, but without any interrogation, no truth potion or deception, he immediately confessed, providing details known only to the murderer, and saying that he was proud to have killed the Muggles, and that he had been waiting for this opportunity for years. The wand he handed over was immediately proven to be the murder weapon for the Riddle family, and he did not resist and was obediently taken into Azkaban. The only thing that bothered him was that his father's ring was missing. He's going to kill me. He repeatedly said to his captors, 'I lost his ring, and he will kill me.'" That seemed to be all he had to say next. He spent the rest of his life in Azkaban, mourning the loss of the last family heirloom, and was buried next to the prison, along with the other poor people who died in Azkaban. ”

"Did the goblin steal Morfin's wand and kill someone?" Harry asked, "What happened that night?"

"It was obvious that Voldemort had killed his father, altered his uncle's memory, and walked away with the ring. Evan replied on Dumbledore's behalf, "That's what happened that night, but there's actually much more than that, and Riddle made the first Horcrux that night." ”

"Horcruxes, that special Horcrux you just talked about?!" Harry repeated in a low voice, suddenly thinking of something, looking at the ring on Dumbledore's right hand in shock, "That ring...... Professor, is this it?"

"Yes, Evan and I found this ring in the ruins of the Gaunt family's hut before, and I have to admit that it is a very special magical item, a special Horcrux, it is not just a Horcrux, there are other important uses. Dumbledore said, "Alright, we'd better hurry, there are still three memories waiting for us." Before we look at how Evan and I found it, I want you to look at another memory that has a lot to do with what we're going to do next......"
