Horcruxes, the world's most dangerous and evil dark magic props.

Compared to most dark arts, the most terrifying thing about Horcruxes is that the price required to create them is not only evil, cruel, and ruthless, but it also requires a wizard to shatter and split his own soul with his own hands.

No matter how powerful a wizard is, once the soul is split, it becomes extremely unstable.

Perhaps each fragment of its soul will show a seemingly complete personality and memory, but the moment the soul is broken and split, the "person" as a "dark wizard" also becomes fragmented - it is closer to a phenomenon than a "person".

Even the most dangerous dark wizards in history are rarely willing to make Horcruxes, and they are more willing to die happily.

Therefore, in a sense, Voldemort's Horcruxes are very rare and valuable in the wizarding world......

Apart from the venerable Mr. Tom Riddle, Elena would be hard-pressed to find another top-notch wizard who was willing to shatter her soul and inject it into one object after another to form an immortal and tireless 'Horcrux'.

If there are no errors or omissions in the original book, there should be only six SCP-017 series at this timeline.

In order of manufacture, they should be: Marvolo Gaunt's ring (02), Tom Riddle's diary (03), Salazar Slytherin's locket box ([number vacant]), Helga Hufflepuff's gold cup (01), Rowena Ravenclaw's crown ([number vacant]), "The Boy Who Never Died" Harry Potter ([DATA EXPUNGED])

Among them, the only horcruxes with a relatively high safety factor and low difficulty in transforming are actually diaries and rings.

Because only these two Horcruxes were born when Tom Riddle was a student, the other four Horcruxes were gradually made after Tom Riddle graduated from Hogwarts and became Voldemort.

It's just that, compared to "Tom Riddle's Diary", "Marvolo Gaunt's Ring" is obviously much more dangerous.

As the first Horcrux, the spell and curse on the ring inlaid with the resurrection stone were most likely left behind by Voldemort at the peak of his power - this does not require much complicated reasoning, if it was the little Tom Riddle who was still studying at Hogwarts, it was impossible to leave a curse on the ring that could endanger Dumbledore's life.

Because of this, after a rough assessment of the risks and difficulty of containment, she chose to hand over the "Marvolo Gaunt's Ring" to the International Confederation of Wizards and the Ministries of Magic, and instead searched for other Horcruxes scattered around.

And the most important of them is, of course, the weakest of all the Horcruxes, the "diary".

After all, that Tom Riddle was just an ordinary juvenile delinquent of fifteen or sixteen years old, with a nose and a face, and a little language, and he couldn't even catch a straight punch from Hannah.

Compared to the majestic three generations of the Black Lord, it is too weak.

......

Diagon Alley, London.

"So...... What the hell is this?"

Draco Malfoy looked at the tattered, thin diary in Elena's hand, hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but take the initiative to ask, "And- big sister, how do you know that my dad has this?"

When he first received Elena's letter, Draco was hesitant and unsure.

After all, no matter how you look at it, as the current head of the pure-blooded Malfoy family, there is no way that my father has any contact with the Muggle world, and there is no reason why he would go out of his way to collect an ordinary diary that is not produced in the wizarding world.

Without Dobby, the house-elf, he wouldn't even know that his father had a secret storage room.

As the young master of the Malfoy family, as long as his orders did not directly conflict with his father, Draco Malfoy could naturally ask Dobby to perform some simple "finding" missions, especially if there was a clear description.

Merely...... All of this is really terrifying.

As time passed, Draco Malfoy found himself farther and farther away from Elena, and this Elena Moonlight Caslana, who was his age, seemed to be literally like a bright moon, rising higher and higher in the sky, becoming more and more mysterious.

"This one...... As you can see, a diary bought on Vauxhall Road. ”

Elena replied nonchalantly and softly, glancing at Draco, who was about to say nothing.

"Very good, it seems that you didn't look at the book in advance...... Otherwise you wouldn't be asking this question......"

"Didn't you tell in your letter that this thing might be dangerous, and that you should not open it at will—as soon as you find it, contact you by an owl, and give it to you by hand as secretly as possible?"

"That's right, and- don't use honorifics, Draco...... We're friends. ”

Elena raised her eyebrows, a satisfied smile on her face.

I have to admit that the Malfoy family does have innate advantages and understanding in serving the Dark Lord.

Compared to Harry, who has yet to find the "Slytherin Locket" in Black's house, Draco Malfoy's efficiency is simply too satisfying, and on the other hand, he does a good job of restraining his curiosity.

Maybe...... It's time to think about letting Malfoy join the "Three Generations of Demon King Army" early.

"Look at the name, Draco. I think you know what that means......"

Elena said as she flipped through the notebook and pointed to the blurred ink on the first page.

Wait...... The name, I remember—"

Draco cautiously stepped up and glanced at the position of Elena's finger, first stunned, then the expression on his face quickly changed, and finally froze into a look of horror and shock, and subconsciously stopped talking.

Since that public trial a few months ago, almost half of the wizarding world has known Voldemort's real name.

Draco Malfoy was very clear about his father's previous identity - besides, there weren't many duplicate names in the wizarding world, especially Muggle names, which were rare in the wizarding world.

"Shhhh

Elena put her finger to her lips and whispered meaningfully.

"That's it...... More and more details, you are not able to bear it for the time being, and it is not a good thing for you to know too much. Still, Draco, there's one thing you have to understand......

"The mystery man has not disappeared, and one day he will return. At that point, the first of his revenge will definitely not be those of his former enemies - betrayers are always the most hated, and if you love your parents, then only one person is destined to live between you and the mysterious man, and in this respect, you and Harry are the same......"

"As for this thing......"

Elena shook the notebook in her hand and whispered.

"It may sound strange, but according to Peter Pettigrew's secret confession, this is the tool that the mysterious man intends to use to threaten, control, and spy on your father, which hides the most evil dark magic in the world. ”

"Dark magic, threatened?" Draco Malfoy asked, a little nervous.

"This kind of thing is so common, I just want to say that you can understand it, and if you don't understand it, I won't explain much now......"

Elena shook her finger and whispered inscrutablely.

"In short, as long as you know it in your heart now, and then think about it slowly. Don't ask me the specific reason, there are too many people and things involved in it and it's too complicated, it's not good for you now, just don't know it, it's hard to find the details on your own, and the corresponding books in the Hogwarts library have been emptied...... Unless ......"

"Unless what?" Draco Malfoy subconsciously asked.
