Chapter 47: Voldemort's Deepest Secret (1)

In the Potions classes later this week, Harry repeatedly amazed the crowd and became Slughorn's proudest student. www.biquge.info Hermione figured out why Slughorn had given Harry a textbook that had been altered, and that a man named the Half-Blood Prince had previously objected to Liberasius Polage's textbook.

Harry did as the half-blood prince suggested, and Hermione was not happy about it, thinking he was cheating. Phoenix was quite happy with the current situation, and let Harry continue to make the professor happy, for the sake of Slughorn's possible and important memory.

On Friday night, Phoenix stood by the window in the principal's room, watching the sunset outside the window. The sunset hung beautifully in the sky, and the pale pink clouds floated slowly.

There was a knock on the door.

"Please come in. ”

Harry walked in eagerly, looked around, and looked at Dumbledore hanging on the wall with a smile on his face.

The round office looked the same as usual: a table with slender legs lined with delicate silverware that swirled and spewed small puffs of smoke. The portraits of the old principals, men and women, were dozing off in their frames. Eden, the magnificent phoenix, stood on a perch behind the door, tastelessly pecking at the cuttlefish bone.

If it weren't for the portrait of Dumbledore, everything seemed to imply that Dumbledore wasn't dead.

Harry couldn't say a word to Dumbledore, who watched quietly.

"I guess you can wait and stare at each other. ”

Phoenix leaned over in front of the cabinet next to the door. When Phoenix straightened up, he held a shallow-bottomed stone basin with a circle of strange symbols carved into the mouth. He placed the meditation basin on the table behind Harry.

"I'll explain to you first, Professor Dumbledore didn't have time to tell you. "Why won't Voldemort be killed by the rebounding death curse?" in a rare tone, "This will be the key to defeating him." ”

"I really think you should show Harry—" Dumbledore said suddenly.

Harry jerked his head and nearly hurt his neck.

"You're dead, now I'm in charge. Phoenix didn't have to say much, took out some small glass bottles, and poured the memories into the basin.

"Dumbledore thinks you should get to know Voldemort's past, his mother, his childhood, his school days, and the events of Walpleth's days as a knight. But I don't think there's a need to waste time, I'll just be brief. ”

"Simply put, a young boy who had a tragic childhood, who had never felt love—there were many—but for a young wizard, his abilities were amazingly perfect and mature—though not as good as mine—and he discovered early on that he could control them to some extent, and began to use them consciously. As you can see, he's not like the average young wizard who does random experiments. He was already using magic against others, using magic to intimidate, punish and control others. ”

Phoenix shook the meditation basin, and the appearance of an eleven-year-old child emerged, emaciated, with black hair and a pale face, quite handsome.

"Magic?" he said softly.

"Not bad. Dumbledore's voice calmly passed through time and space, reflecting into reality.

"What are my skills—magic?"

"What do you have to do?"

"Various. Riddle lowered his voice, a flush of excitement spreading rapidly from his neck to his sunken cheeks. He seemed excited. "I don't have to touch my hands to make things move. I don't need to train to get the animals to do what I tell me. Whoever makes me angry, I can make them unlucky. I can hurt them if I want to. ”

His legs were shaking. He stumbled forward, sat back on the bed, hung his head, and stared at his hands as if in prayer.

The memory slowly sank.

At school, he made friends who were the forerunners of the Death Eaters, some of whom actually became the first Death Eaters after leaving Hogwarts. ”

"After graduating, I worked part-time at the Boggin Bock shop."

"Bogin-Bock?" said Harry, stunned.

"Borgin Bock. "Not long after working there, he got two priceless treasures." ”

Phoenix shook the meditation basin again.

In a small box, a small gold cup with two delicate ear stems rests on a crimson velvet pad, and a small heavy gold locket against the same background.

"It's—"

"Slytherin's locket and Hufflepuff's gold cup. "Phoenix didn't let the image sink down," he and his friends then traveled the world to learn about the dark arts. After returning to Europe, he briefly considered starting his 'great career' in France, but outside of England, the just-concluded Grindelwald period was still fresh in everyone's memory, and his pure-bloods, which were more extreme than Grindelwald, had no market. ”

"He took the name of the Knight of Walppur and began to recruit troops and horses on the basis of purebloods, and the rest of the story is very clear, probably in the 70s, he began to rise to fame, changed his name to the Death Eaters, and in the 80s, at the height of his life, began to expand abroad - but in 81, everything came to an abrupt end. ”

These are the secrets of his immortality. Harry's eyes widened as he watched the scene emerge from the basin.

A charred diary, a ring, accompanied by a vague passage. With the previous gold cup and the locket box, it forms four pictures.

"These items are Horcruxes, a guarantee of his invincibility. Phoenix pointed.

"What is a Horcrux?"

"There is an object of a person's soul in part. You split your soul apart and hid a part of it in some object outside your body. That way, even if your body is attacked or destroyed, you can't die. For there is still a part of the soul that is unharmed in the world. It was thanks to this that he was able to escape death and make a comeback again. ”

"Where are they?" asked Harry with concern.

"Some have been destroyed," Phoenix said, holding out a ring that looked exactly like the scene in the meditation basin, "and some of them were hidden by him, and thankfully, we all know where they are." ”

Harry looked at the ring, the gold ring was topped with a rough black stone with a coat of arms on it.

"The problem is, we don't know how many Horcruxes he made. You can also see that there are four of them that we have just discovered, and one one does not know what it is, but it undoubtedly exists, and has been destroyed by himself. ”

"Why?"

"When he was in the Ministry of Magic, he didn't make it out, he was hit by a very powerful magic. The only way to avoid death is with Horcruxes. Split your soul in two, and transfer the power of the spell to the split soul, so as to avoid the death of the soul in your body. (To be continued.) )
