London, Ministry of Magic.

Harry, who was working overtime over the weekend, was reading intently with a yellowed paper, his face getting darker and darker.

There was a knock on the door of Harry's office.

"Harry, do you still have tea here, I don't have any tea over there." Hermione pushed open the half-hidden doorway and walked in.

"In the cupboard, take it yourself." Harry replied without looking up.

"I'll ask for a box first, and I'll pay you back on Monday." Hermione opened the cupboard and came out with a box of tea, and when she noticed that Harry's face was not quite right, she walked over to Harry's desk, "Did something happen?" ”

"Hermione, we're in trouble!" Harry said.

Hermione placed the tea in the corner of Harry's desk, then took Harry and handed over the papers.

"Let me see." Hermione said as she flipped through the papers.

"Time, ten years ago, the night before that decisive battle."

"Location, Spider Tail Alley. Well, near Snape's home. ”

"Incident, someone was killed by a spell at home, and another person in the family has been missing to this day."

"Conclusion, given that Voldemort attempted to kill Snape in the vicinity of the crime during the time period of the crime, it is concluded that the crime was committed by Voldemort."

“……”

"Huh......"

After reading the documents, Hermione suddenly turned to the middle page of the documents, which was the investigation report of the local police.

"The victim's family pet a Brazilian python is missing?!"

"Is it ......?"

Hermione looked at Harry in surprise.

"I'm afraid it's the 'can'." Harry said with some irritation, "The snake that Neville killed that day was most likely not Nagini. ”

Hermione put down the papers in her hand and said, "So Voldemort still has a Horcrux?" ”

Harry smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid so, and this Horcrux will still move on its own, and no one knows where it is." Britain, France, South Korea, and even Africa are possible. ”

"Who else knows about this?" Hermione asked.

"Only the two of us know about it at the moment." Harry said, "I read these historical documents because of last night's events to investigate what Voldemort had done in his last days, and I only saw this report today. ”

Faced with this sudden news, Hermione also became irritable. She closed the door to Harry's office, then picked up the papers Harry had just read and sat down on the couch to read.

More than ten minutes later, there was another knock on the office door, and with a wave of Harry's hand, the door opened on its own.

"Would you like some fragrant egg tarts?" Ron walked in with a cardboard box, "This is what Mommy just made this morning, I just heard from Ginny that Harry is also working overtime, so I sent it over." ”

"Ron, we're in trouble!" Harry said to his little friend.

"What, can't you afford to pay your mortgage?" Ron asked, "I'll make a pot of tea first, and even if Voldemort is resurrected, we can talk about it while drinking tea and eating snacks." ”

Ron then listened to Harry's account of Voldemort's Horcruxes as he swallowed half a tart in his mouth.

"I think someone probably knew about it for a long time." Ron said after eating the tart in his mouth.

"Who?" x2

"Who else?" Ron picked up the teacup and asked Hermione, "Do you remember, when Harry first faced Voldemort ten years ago, Zhang was standing with Voldemort's snake, and he was still a parseltongue, do you think he would talk to that snake?" ”

Hermione, like many of the others present, didn't pay attention to Zhang's actions at the time, if that was the case......

It wasn't easy for Hermione and Harry to find out at the same time.

"Okay, let's break this down in detail." Ron put down half of the cup of tea in his hand and said, "Harry, if you were Voldemort, what would you do with that snake as a Horcrux?" ”

"It must have been protected by all sorts of profound spells." Harry replied.

Ron continued, "So would you let that snake stay with a powerful guy who keeps basilisks at home to eat, even if it's just for a few minutes?" ”

Harry didn't answer, but the answer was already obvious.

"So the snake was a bait thrown by Voldemort." Hermione sighed after speaking, and then leaned limply on Ron's shoulder beside her, "The situation has actually returned to the way it was more than ten years ago. ”

For a moment, the three people in the office fell silent.

At that moment, there was a knock on the door of Harry's office for the third time this morning, and it was Neville.

"Harry, I called your house, and Ginny said you were working overtime, so I came." Neville said, "What, you're having a tea party?" ”

"Neville, we're in trouble!"

"Huh?!"

Ron brought over a dozen tarts today, originally four for each person, but after Neville suddenly appeared, it became three for each person.

Neville wasn't overly surprised by this, though, as he listened to Harry's story as he slowly ate the fragrant custard tarts made by Old Lady Weasley.

"Why aren't you surprised?" Harry asked Neville.

Neville took a sip of tea and said, "Ever since the Black siblings showed up at Hogwarts that day, I had a premonition that something big was about to happen. ”

"Do you believe they are both Voldemort's children?" Hermione asked Neville if she had heard about it.

"I was skeptical at first," Neville said as he looked at Harry, "but when I met Harry last night, I confirmed that they were Voldemort's children." ”

"What?!" x2

Ron and Hermione almost jumped, "What does Harry have to do with Voldemort's children?" ”

Neville pulled out his wand and cast an Iron Charm on himself, then said, "I've been assisting Sprout in her research on the heritability of herbs for the last few years, so I've learned a little bit about genetics from Muggles. ”

"Neville!" Harry shouted at Neville.

Neville ignored Harry, he continued, "And we know that Voldemort used Harry's blood when he recovered his body, and human blood contains a person's genes. ”

"Neville!!" Harry shouted as he reached for his wand.

"All petrochemicals!" Ron petrified Harry one step ahead of Harry, "Go on. ”

Neville let out a "hey" twice before adding, "We all know that Harry's eyes are a lot like his mother's, and Harry's eyes are a lot like his father when he becomes a girl. And the brother and sister, the elder brother's eyes are like Harry's father, and the sister's eyes are like Harry's mother, which is what Harry is now. ”

"So," Neville said, spreading his hands, "it means that Voldemort absorbed some of Harry's genes when he regained his body, and he passed them on to his children. Unless the two siblings were actually Harry's children, there was no way to explain how they looked like Harry. ”

Ron and Hermione's mouths opened wide in surprise, it was the first time they had heard such explosive gossip.

Ron nodded and said, "Now I have two more presents for Christmas." ”
