Zhang Hao had already expected it, after all, the dark magic of Hogwarts had not yet been completely opened to him.

And the most feared thing about black magic is that kind of weird and mysterious characteristics.

He knew about Horcruxes without authorization, and it was strange that Dumbledore didn't suspect them.

If he chooses to hide it, this suspicion will only grow.

After all, he inadvertently expressed his attention to the black notebook throughout the whole thing, and Professor McGonagall didn't notice anything unusual about it, which was enough to tell.

"So, where did you learn about the Horcrux?" Dumbledore circled back to his previous question, which he considered important.

If this problem cannot be clarified, there may be a second Voldemort in the future.

"It was it that told me how to make Horcruxes, and we had conversations. Zhang Hao pointed to the black notebook and said, "I have practiced the Occlumency Technique, and when I inadvertently obtained this Horcrux, I felt its evil will. It tried to invade my mind, but it didn't work. Then I pressed it, I threatened to give it to you, and then he confessed his birth. ”

These are all truths, but none of them are to the point.

Dumbledore smiled at the end of his hearing, he obviously thought that he had a very important place in Zhang Hao's heart.

"So, have you seen any other books about Horcruxes?" he asked, "Yes?"

Zhang Hao took out a book from his pocket and said calmly: "This is the relic of Principal Adson, which records the production method of the original Horcrux. I found it in a mysterious room, you probably know it. ”

He had memorized all the contents of the book in his head, and there was no point in keeping it.

But there were some secrets he didn't want Dumbledore to know, so he planned to use very delicate language to induce Dumbledore.

"Is there a room for requirement?" Dumbledore took the parchment and muttered, "There are indeed a lot of things hidden there, and no one knows what treasures are hidden there." ”

Zhang Hao laughed secretly in his heart, Dumbledore was really misled.

At Hogwarts, when people talk about the Mysterious House, the first thing that comes to mind is the Room of Requirement.

Dumbledore took the shortest time to look through the entire parchment, and said in surprise: "These are all ancient texts, and you actually made annotations?

This is certainly a remarkable achievement, and there are many ancient books in the wizarding world, and those ancient books often take a lot of effort to translate.

Many wizarding scholars may not be able to fully translate a book in their lifetime, let alone a student.

Not to mention a foreign student?

From this moment on, Dumbledore had a new understanding of Zhang Hao's 'qualifications'.

"Professor, that's not the point. I may just have a little talent in languages, I know more than a dozen languages!" Zhang Hao said quietly: "You should take a look at the Horcrux production method on this, it is different from what Voldemort used." ”

Hearing this, Dumbledore hurriedly searched the book carefully, and Zhang Hao helped him turn to that page, which could save some time.

The office was eerily silent, and Dumbledore's hand holding the book trembled.

The content recorded in the book must have shocked his heart.

After a long time, he closed the book and said in a trembling voice, "There is no doubt that Voldemort did make Horcruxes. ”

"I think you also have a question," Zhang Hao said noncommittally, "Judging from the knowledge inheritance left by Principal Adelson, a wizard can theoretically make seven Horcruxes. How many did Voldemort make?"

This was something Dumbledore should have thought about three years later, but it didn't seem to hurt to move forward until now.

Dumbledore pondered for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Can you make a Horcrux, can you resist the temptation of immortality?"

"Professor, are you worried that I will become another Voldemort?" Zhang Hao smiled calmly, "Do you think Voldemort's appearance is very desirable?"

Dumbledore didn't speak, he knew that there was always something that was better said than sung, and that one side of the word was not to be believed.

In fact, not only Dumbledore was worried that Zhang Hao would become another Voldemort, but even Zhang Hao himself was afraid that he would become Voldemort one day.

Few people are able to stand true to their hearts in the face of temptation, and if they do have to face death one day, whether or not to become another Voldemort will become a question that must be seriously considered.

Dragon slayers eventually become evil dragons, and that's nothing new!

Don't look at Zhang Hao's disgust with Voldemort now, but the future is really unclear.

Now that he knew how to make Horcruxes, Dumbledore's concerns were not unreasonable.

This old man must be struggling in his heart now, he may want to strangle Zhang Hao in the cradle, but compassion does not allow him to do so.

This is an extremely cruel ordeal, and Zhang Hao can fully understand it.

"If you split a soul into multiple parts, can you still count it as one person?" he said with emotion, "To be honest, I'm not sure that I won't become Voldemort in the future." But at least for now, I don't want to be a ghost or a ghost. Do you remember last year's conversation, Professor, I am a person who has experienced death, and we all understand this great adventure. Voldemort didn't understand, he was just running away from death - he didn't take it at all in the face of death. He sacrificed a lot in the process, and all he got was empty vanity. Maybe that's what he craves, but I'm not, vanity is just a spice in my life. So, his path is not for me. ”

Dumbledore still didn't say a word, and Zhang Hao's words obviously couldn't move him.

If you change to a stubborn donkey with the same conditions as Zhang Hao, I am afraid that the jar will be broken at this time: "If you don't let me become Voldemort, I will become Voldemort." I'll go!"

With Zhang Hao's strength and Phoenix, it is not difficult to escape from Dumbledore - Hogwarts' prohibition cannot prevent the Phoenix and the elf from apparition.

But Zhang Hao is not a stubborn donkey, he will not change his decision casually because of other people's words and will.

Even if Dumbledore suspected him and wanted to kill him, he wouldn't just turn himself into Voldemort.

He looked at Dumbledore and said calmly, "Professor, do you think you will continue your life by making Horcruxes?"

"No! of course not!" Dumbledore seemed to be stimulated, and he said categorically, "I've lived enough, what does it matter if I don't die......?"

He stopped talking, apparently saying something he couldn't say yet.

Zhang Hao couldn't guess what he wanted to say, so he chuckled softly: "Look, you can be sure that you won't turn into Voldemort, so why can't you believe in me as you believe in yourself?"

Dumbledore fell silent again, and the only thing in his office was the crisp chirping of two phoenixes.

No one came to disturb them, not even the headmasters in the portraits, who just watched them quietly and did not express any opinions.

Adelson was also there, she heard the previous conversation and knew that Zhang Hao was related to her predecessor.

She looked at Zhang Hao's gaze very kindly, but she still didn't say anything.

After a long time, Dumbledore suddenly sat down on the steps.

He whispered, "Yes, I can believe in myself, why can't I trust you?" I always wanted to train Harry to be the backbone of the fight against Voldemort. But now it seems that maybe you're a better fit. You have extraordinary intelligence, a strong will, and an unparalleled talent...... Everything is stronger than Tom at the beginning. Over time, maybe you can be stronger than Voldemort even if you don't make Horcruxes. Compared to you, Harry is still a lot worse. ”

Speaking of this, he raised his head and looked at Zhang Hao, and said sincerely: "If one day I am gone, can you take on the responsibility of fighting Voldemort?"

Voldemort: Someday it would be good to be killed!

Uh! Maybe not yet, just take him for bragging!

"How troublesome is it to expect me to look for him all over the world?"

Zhang Hao shook his head and said, "Professor, I think you underestimated Harry's potential. He and Voldemort are fateful rivals, and I can only play a supporting role in this war. ”

Dumbledore was speechless for a moment, now you are more radiant than the protagonist, and you are still a supporting role?

Numerically, Harry and Voldemort are indeed fateful rivals.

But Zhang Hao is an outlier in fate, and any fate that touches him will be disturbed.

He didn't seem to realize it, or he deliberately ignored it.

Dumbledore thought about it for a moment, and suddenly smiled lightly, "Let's talk about this later! Let's study it now and see how we can destroy this Horcrux." It has strong black magic protection on it, and it is difficult to destroy it with white magic. ”

Zhang Hao took out a dagger and said leisurely: "I think this should be very useful, we might as well try it." ”

The dagger looked like a fangs with a handle attached, and its appearance was rough and archaic.

"This is ......" Dumbledore looked at it for a moment, finally recognizing the dagger, "Basilisk's fangs?"

Zhang Hao nodded and said, "Yes, it is stained with a very powerful magic toxin, I have done some experiments, and this toxin can even petrify ghosts." I think if it can work on ghosts, it should also kill souls. ”

"You're experimenting with ghosts?" Dumbledore asked, pursing his lips, "Who is it?"

He was a little confused, not knowing whether this behavior should be judged to be illegal.

"It's Peeves—" Zhang Hao said with a smile, "He's too noisy sometimes, I want him to be quiet." It took a lot of effort to catch him. ”

Precisely, it should be the price.

After all, it is difficult for a living person to catch a ghost, and only a ghost can be caught by a ghost.

In order to catch Peeves for experiments, Zhang Hao agreed to attend the death party of the bloody Barrow.

Oh! Sir Nick's death dinner has had enough!

Attend Baro's death party again, God knows how long you will be unlucky......

"Peeves?" said Dumbledore sympathetically, "Don't petrify him for too long, he's a little naughty, but he's brought a lot of joy to the castle." ”

"Don't worry! Zhang Hao nodded and said, "There are still many mandrakes, I will help him recover." ”
