Lupin and Blake visited Daphany on the third day of the summer vacation.

Blake inherited part of the assets of the Black family, although the amount is not as good as Daphany, who is not surnamed Blake, but it is also a huge amount of money, plus when he left the Black family, he actually made a lot of money, and together he is definitely one of the five kings in the wizarding world today. In comparison, the more than one million gold galleons compensated by the Ministry of Magic are a small number.

At this time, Blake had cleared his suspicions and successfully inherited the property and the old mansion assigned to him by the Blake family. Kreacher disliked him, but he took on the job of serving him. But listening to Jingjing, Kreacher complained a lot.

With Blake as a rich man, Lupin naturally no longer has to wear patched old clothes. Therefore, when they came to Lestranzie Manor, they were all well-dressed.

After purification, Lupin's face was no longer pale and sickly, and Blake gradually regained some of his former vigor after a few days of recuperation.

The two of them sat down in the living room and let the elf serve refreshments. Daphne spoke first, but it wasn't about the Potions Factory, as they had thought.

"As far as I know, both of them are members of the Order of the Phoenix, right?" As soon as Daphany spoke, the two of them were stunned.

Both of them, of course, are members of the Order of the Phoenix, and they are still descendants. However, since Voldemort's disappearance twelve years ago, the Order of the Phoenix has ceased to operate. After all, the purpose of the Order of the Phoenix is to fight against Voldemort, and when Voldemort is gone, they will naturally be inactive.

This identity is not a secret, and many people know it. The two of them didn't hide it, and both nodded.

"Voldemort was badly wounded twelve years ago, but he didn't die. You know about that, right? Daphine asked again.

This time Lupin nodded, but Blake shook his head in disbelief. During his time in Azkaban, he spent most of his time on the run. There are few sources. It's only been a little calmer in the last few days, but neither Harry nor Lupin have had time to tell him something.

"Voldemort didn't die, he should have survived by a special means." Seeing Blake's bewildered expression, Lupin explained to him, "I've heard Professor McGonagall tell you that in his first year he possessed a professor and tried to steal the Philosopher's Stone, but Harry stopped him. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Blake's eyes widened in disbelief.

"I was there too!" Daphany nodded: "Voldemort's current state is very special, there is no substance, but it doesn't look like a ghost. It is a state of inexplicability. ”

"So, he's not dead. And it could come back at any time, is that what it means? Blake frowned slightly. This is obviously not good news for him. He had experienced Voldemort's reign of darkness, and he originally thought that Voldemort had hung up, but he didn't expect to hear that this thing was still alive. The happy mood of inheriting wealth and being a rich man disappeared all of a sudden.

"Not at all, but I'm afraid it's possible. Look at this. Daphany handed over a piece of paper, the latest Prophet newspaper this morning. The biggest message on the cover is Peter Pettigrew, who escaped on his way to Azkaban Prison.

"Peter fled?" Blackhawk stood up, his eyes fiery.

Daphany nodded, relieved when she saw the newspaper this morning. Peter escaped, and the big plot in the future should not be affected too much, and it can go on smoothly. If Peter hadn't escaped, he wouldn't have known what would have happened!

But in the end, everything went as expected. At the Screaming Booth that day, Daphne mentions the technique of Peter Animagus's transformation. Until then, Peter couldn't use the Animagus without a wand, but apparently he did. Otherwise, it would be impossible to escape under the watchful eye of several wizards and Dementors.

"Damn the rat......" Blake gestured to leave, as if he was going to retrieve Peter.

Daphany secretly complained that this thing has no brains, where are you going to find this? Fortunately, Lupin was calm enough to press Blackklada back into his seat and turn to Daphany: "Daphine, you are talking to us about this, it can't be just because Peter ran away. ”

"Of course," Daphany nodded, "When I was in second year, Harry and I once saw a notebook ......" Daphany briefly but completely recounted the second year basilisk attack and the Chamber of Secrets, including Professor Lockhart's little tricks.

"Professor Dumbledore, it seems that he is very optimistic about Potter." Lupin smiled wryly, he probably knew about it before, but he didn't know it so clearly. balance

"Of course, Harry is a very good boy." Blake didn't understand the meaning of Lupin's words, and was vaguely proud that Harry was valued by Dumbledore.

Daphany didn't explain much, but continued: "I want to talk about the notebook, which can carry memories, which is a strange phenomenon. And the notebook was almost indestructible at the time. We couldn't hurt it with a lot of magic, and we ended up destroying it with the Sword of Gryffindor, which was infested with basilisk venom. ”

"That's true. Memories can be retrieved, but I haven't heard of memories being self-aware. Lupin frowned slightly, touched his chin and said. He is a master of defense against the dark arts, and naturally he is no stranger to black magic, and he faintly seemed to think of something, and his face sank slightly.

"Why do you look so much like a Horcrux?" Blake listened to the exchange between the two and suddenly opened his mouth.

This was indeed beyond Daphany's expectations, and Blake knew about Horcruxes as well. But come to think of it, Black is the oldest family in British magic, and it is rumored that their ancestors were very obsessed with black magic - Black itself means black. It's not surprising to know about Horcruxes.

"Horcruxes?" Hearing this, Daphany simply pretended to be stupid, pretending to be unfamiliar: "When you say that, I think I've seen similar books in the forbidden area of the academy, huh...... I can't remember it for a while. ”

"Haha, a Slytherin would run into the forbidden book area, did the Sorting Hat give you the wrong house." Blake laughed heartlessly. Lupin couldn't help but laugh either. Indeed, Slytherin is relatively well-behaved, and the kind of thing that has been done by Gryffindor daredevils in the past has been done by Gryffindor. But Lupin knew that this well-behaved little girl loved to wander around the castle at night.

Daphany secretly slandered that the old lady wanted to go to Ravenclaw at that time. The Sorting Hat's stump didn't give him a chance to speak.

But it obviously doesn't make sense to say that now. Daphany smiled and said, "Which of you tells me what the hell is going on with the Horcruxes, and I'll save myself from going to the book again." ”

"Nothing special, an evil ancient magic." Blake is worthy of being the heir of the old black magic family, and when he talks about the Horcrux, he has an indifferent look on his face: "The screaming of the revenant soul is a special soul phenomenon. When killing a living person who does not want to die, that person's revenant soul emits a special power known as the Revenant's Scream. This scream is only effective for the person who killed him. The screaming soul will loosen slightly, and at this time, if you master a special method, you can peel off a part of the soul and save it on an object. Objects that have a soul inflicted on them become pseudo-Horcruxes. ”

"Pseudo-Horcruxes? And the True Horcruxes? This was something that Daphany had never heard before, so she couldn't help but ask curiously.

"You're right," Blake nodded, "At this time, the soul is only temporarily stored on the object, and after a little time, the soul will dissipate." If you want to become a real Horcrux, you need to use evil magic to transform the soul of the person he killed into special magical power to strengthen the Horcrux. To ensure that the stripped soul fragments can be preserved permanently, and the objects that hold the soul cannot be destroyed. And then this item that holds the soul fragments is the Horcrux. As long as the Horcrux is not destroyed, the caster will not die completely. This magic evil is so powerful that it not only kills people, but also imprisons and destroys the soul of the other party, which is more vicious than ordinary necromantic magic. ”

Although he said that it was vicious, Blake was unimpressed. Obviously, he has seen more than this level of evil magic. This one isn't even the best of the best.

Blake may have thick nerves, but he is by no means stupid. Speaking of which, I roughly understood what Daphine meant: "You mean, Voldemort made Horcruxes?" He's stupid enough. Speaking of this, I couldn't help but laugh.

Lupin also knew about Horcruxes, but not as well as Blake. It was even more strange to see him laughing: "Siris, what are you laughing at?" Isn't it troublesome that Horcruxes don't die without destruction? ”

"It's troublesome, but it's really stupid." Blake restrained his smile and said mockingly: "Although Horcruxes can ensure the immortality of their masters, they are not so easy to use. It's just a matter of ensuring that the body dies and the soul doesn't completely dissipate or become a ghost. It's not an instant resurrection! That soul state can do very little, not even possession. And there are a lot of sequelae of splitting the soul, it's good if you divide it once, it's too much splitting, hehe, if you don't do it, you'll go crazy first. ”

Blake's knowledge of Horcruxes was somewhat unexpected by Daphany. Imagine that Daphany had come to her senses, and felt a little pity. Originally, Dumbledore began to deal with Horcruxes in the sixth year, when Black had been killed in an accident. If Blake had been alive, with his help, the White Wizard might not have lost his hand and had only one year left to live when dealing with a Horcrux.

"So, how many Horcruxes do you think Voldemort would have?" Lupin is not as optimistic as Blake, and he is still struggling with the fact that Voldemort is difficult to kill with a Horcrux.

"More than one anyway." Daphany said lightly, then opened her Xiao Kun bag and took out a large safe from it. Yes, take out the large safe from Xiao Kun's bag. Open the safe, and it's still a safe inside. After three layers in a row, the innermost thing was revealed, a small gold cup, the Hufflepuff gold cup.

"It's ......" As a former Defence Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts, Lupin is very sensitive to the dark arts. As soon as I saw the golden cup, I felt the extraordinary magic fluctuations on it.

"I found it in my mother's vault and thought something was wrong, so I put it away. This thing makes me feel very similar to the diary back then! Daphany said calmly.

"It's a Horcrux!" Lupin inspected it and said with a frown. In fact, he had never seen a Horcrux, but what was in front of him matched all the characteristics of the Horcrux he knew. With this storage location, Daphine's wife is Voldemort's number one fan!

"Is this a Horcrux? This feels a little familiar. Blake was thoughtful.
