"This is the Hufflepuff Gold Cup?" Hermione looked at the gold cup that Darren took out, like Darren, although she had never seen the Hufflepuff Gold Cup, but she still found those paintings and patterns, so she could see the identity of the cup at a glance. [No pop-ups.]

"If you're looking for the descriptions in those books," Darren leaned back on the couch, "or the mystery man was deceived." ”

"I can't believe that he can really find the golden cup, and ......" At this point, Hermione suddenly turned her head, "You, is this a Horcrux?"

"I don't know, but we can give it a try," Darren took out the basilisk tooth dagger, thought for a moment, and put it back in his pocket, "Wait for tomorrow." ”

“？”

"Let Penelope come over too, so that if something happens, at least one more person can react. ”

"Hmm. Hermione nodded.

The next day, in the basement of the house, Darren, Hermione, and Penelope were standing next to a hard processing table with the ingenious golden cup firmly held in the clamp on it.

"Are you ready? I'm going to do it," Darren asked, having already destroyed the Ravenclaw Crown and knowing that there was no danger, but considering the danger and peculiarity of the Horcruxes, he asked everyone to be vigilant.

"Hmm!"

"Hmm!"

At the same time as they made a sound of affirmation, the wands in Nello and Hermione flashed with a magical glow, which was supposed to cast a defensive spell.

Darren clenched the basilisk tooth dagger, looked at the golden cup, and stabbed it hard like last time, and there was another scream, which made him shudder, this is really not a beautiful experience, just come alone.

"It's that simple?" Hermione and Penelope looked at the punctured cup, looking at it with suspicion, "It's ruined?"

"I feel yes, the same as when I stabbed the crown," Darren put away his dagger and sat down in his chair, "of course, we can check with Harry." ”

"Harry, how can he be sure?"

"Ask him if he has a headache today, when he crowns, he is like that. ”

“……”

"What are we going to do next?" Hermione asked as the three of them returned to the upstairs room, "The Horcruxes of the mysterious man that Professor Dumbledore mentioned are now all that remains of the serpent Nagini. ”

"The mystery man doesn't seem to react to the destruction of those Horcruxes, but Nagini is active, and it should be around him, so if you want to destroy this Horcrux, you can only try your luck. ”

"Luck?" Hermione looked at Darren, "You found and destroyed two Horcruxes so quickly, because of luck?"

"It's not my luck," Darren raised an eyebrow, "it's Harry's, have you forgotten? When he hid Snape's book, right next to the crown, there were so many things in the Room of Requirement, and they were so big, the odds were negligible, we went in the year before, and we didn't find anything." ”

"But what about the Golden Cup, how do you know it's in Bellatrix's vault?"

"Oh, when I went to that vault, I saw the Lestrange sign at the door, and the tapestry in Grimmauld Place. ”

"Then you're sure the golden cup is inside?"

"Well, I'm not sure, but I happen to have Bellatrix's wand and polyjuice potion handy, so why don't I go in and have a look? ”

For this reason, he did not hesitate to take all the gold in his coffers. ”

"You have to find some excuse to cover up, if Gringotts finds out that something is wrong and tells the Death Eaters that the mysterious man found out that his Horcrux was destroyed, and with his character, it will be even more troublesome if he makes a few new ones. ”

"What if there is no gold cup in it?"

"Then move something else, don't you think this house lacks something with a historical atmosphere? By the way, except for the golden cup, take a look at the rest of the things, and find a place to put them up, like the Blake family, it looks more substantial." ”

"Use something you take out of someone else's vault......"

"Who knows how everything was circulated, the Slytherin Pendant, which ended up in the hands of Hepzba Smith, and then ran into the hands of the Mysterio, and became another Horcrux. ”

"I guess he can't make new Horcruxes anymore," Hermione hesitated, "I read this book last night," she mentally pulled out "Cutting-edge Dark Arts Revealed", "This book is detailed about how to make Horcruxes, it's a scary book, it's very scary, it's full of evil magic, about Horcruxes, this book warns that splitting souls makes your soul very unstable, and that's just making one Horcrux, but the mystery man made six!"

In fact, it's seven.

"And what you do with the crown and the golden cup is one of the few absolutely reliable ways to destroy Horcruxes," Hermione looked at Darren again, "something so destructive that the Horcrux can no longer be repaired, and the reason why the soul fragments in it survive depends entirely on its containers, on his enchanted carriers, otherwise it will not survive, and once it is completely destroyed, the soul fragments locked in it will not be able to survive," she said, "Your basilisk tooth dagger is really suitable." ”

"Souvenir, who let it almost poison me, and as you can see, my fire spell has no effect, and what other weapons can be effective. ”

"But, in that case, Professor Lockhart used a spell to destroy the diary while in the Chamber of Secrets, how did he do that?"

“…… According to Professor Dumbledore's method, the journal was useless, not destroyed. ”

“？”

"Alright, this harvest is really great today, let's celebrate," Darren, "Twinkle, prepare a feast, and have a good meal!"

"Yes, Mr. Darren. "To tell you the truth, it's really not easy to make Twinkle change her name from "master".

Although Hermione was eager to find Harry to confirm the authenticity of the Horcrux immediately, considering the current situation, Darren suggested that she wait until someone from the Order of the Phoenix contacted her before acting, in fact, if it weren't for that, he would have taken the two to the United States a long time ago.

Because of Dumbledore's death, Hogwarts did not complete all the lessons this year, so they had more free time than in previous years, and as a result, they could only nest in this house now, and it was better to be free at school, but for Darren, it was not difficult to be with two beautiful women all day, and no one would bother him.
