11. Less than a year

The process of Quidditch itself was not too attractive to Sherlock, and it was not Slytherin who won this time, and it has to be said that Ron was not bad as a goalkeeper for Quidditch, and also helped Gryffindor win the game.

"I'm so disappointed with Malfoy's performance!" As she left the Quidditch pitch, Femia muttered to her.

I don't know why, Slytherin always maintains the habit of being suppressed by Gryffindor in Quidditch competitions, obviously every time Slytherin's Quidditch team always shouts the most fiercely, but it is very completely slapped in the face.

"You can't blame Malfoy, we Slytherin are still poor at Quidditch overall, it's the whole thing, not just one person." Lupo expressed irritation that Slytherin had lost to Gryffindor at Quidditch.

Even his swaggering personality can't find a slot in the Gryffindor Quidditch team, but there are many in his own team.

"Mr. Sherlock, go to a Quidditch tournament, in that case you will win a Quidditch trophy." Femia began to encourage Sherlock, but Sherlock shook his head indifferently, "I don't think it's interesting, I don't really have much interest in a project like Quidditch." ”

The crowd was a little disappointed...... But they already knew that Sherlock had always had little interest in competitive sports like Quidditch.

"Sherlock!"

A dull, old-fashioned, and serious voice came from behind, and Sherlock and the others looked behind them to see that it was Snape, the dean of Slytherin House.

"Come with me." Snape said to Sherlock, and although the other snakes were curious, they would not suspect that Snape would have anything bad about Sherlock, after all, Snape, the head of Slytherin House, had always valued Sherlock himself.

"Professor Snape may have intended Sherlock to be a Quidditch player, as always losing to Gryffindor would also make Professor Snape very faceless." Lu Bo touched his chin and speculated, while others said that there was a chance that it would be seven or eight points.

But Snape actually took Sherlock to an underground room at Hogwarts, and the tunnels of Hogwarts were really full of winds and turns, and Sherlock thought that the tunnels found by James Potter on the map were already very complete, but he didn't expect that there were still tunnels that had not been recorded on the map of the living map.

"You may be shocked, but ...... That's the truth, you can't imagine the state of my heart when he came to me last night, so I hope you can be calm too. Snape said, looking at Sherlock.

"Is Professor Dumbledore back?" Sherlock asked rhetorically.

Snape was silent, this kid was really smart enough, obviously Snape hadn't said it so clearly, but the other party could guess it at once.

He opened a door in the wall of the tunnel, and it was a relatively narrow interior space.

When Sherlock walked in, there was a very strong smell of herbs and potions, and even a slight smell of rot, like the musty smell of the grass pile for a long time, especially noticeable in the air.

The gray-bearded and haggard old man was lying on the bed, Dumbledore looked bad, and Sherlock wondered how Dumbledore, who was in such a weak state last night, had come back.

"This room is so narrow that there's not even a place for you to sit." Dumbledore said weakly.

"It's okay Headmaster, the way you look now doesn't make me feel in the mood to sit here in peace." Sherlock glanced at Dumbledore, then sighed, "It was an accident when you destroyed the Horcruxes, right?" ”

"I was too careless." Dumbledore exclaimed.

He stretched out his right hand, and the whole arm was like charred black coal, and Sherlock's magic was acute, it was the effect of a curse of very pure black magic.

didn't kill Dumbledore directly, which can be regarded as the strength of this old guy.

"You destroyed that Horcrux?" Sherlock asked, because the basilisk in this world was dealt with by Sherlock himself, and the basilisk's blood did not touch Gryffindor's sword, which means that Gryffindor's sword probably does not have the ability to destroy Horcruxes.

But not necessarily, even a monster like a basilisk that has lived for thousands of years can be slaughtered at once, who knows if with the blood of the basilisk can destroy the Horcrux with a sword.

"It did ruin Marvolo Gaunt's ring." Dumbledore glanced at Snape next to him, who picked up a wooden box from the head of the bed and opened it to reveal a ring.

Very quaint rings that look like they're going to cost a lot of money.

But what caught Sherlock's attention the most was the resurrection stone, one of the legendary three Deathly Hallows, engraved on the ring.

"Could this thing be the resurrection stone of one of the rumored deathly hallows artifacts?" Sherlock clasped hard, trying to remove the stone from the ring, but to no avail.

"Yes, this is the Resurrection Stone, you can recognize it at once." Dumbledore said as he looked at Sherlock.

Sherlock holds Marvolo Gaunt's ring in his hand and wants to use the power of resurrection.

It was a gift from the legendary Grim Reaper to the three brothers. Along with the Elder Wand, the Cloak of Invisibility is also known as the Deathly Hallows.

But it does not bring the dead to life, but only invites a substance that is more real than the soul and more illusory than the entity, like Riddle who came out of the diary, and the resurrected person is not necessarily happy.

Only those who really need it can have the Resurrection Stone.

Harry was the last owner of the Resurrection Stone, and he used it to bring back his parents, Godfather and Professor Lupin, who were more real than his soul and existed in his memory, and they spoke to Harry and accompanied him until he was struck by the Death Curse, and he finally dropped the Resurrection Stone in the Forbidden Forest at Hogwarts.

The resurrection stone itself is a kind of stone that can bring people back to life, but the resurrected person will only have pessimism, which can torture people mentally and mad, because they can't get the real one, and they want to resurrect the person.

Therefore, the Resurrection Stone is also one of the weapons, and handing the Resurrection Stone to the enemy is equivalent to giving the knife to the enemy and making the enemy commit suicide.

It seemed that holding the Resurrection Stone in his hand would reveal the people he had summoned from within, and Sherlock couldn't imagine who he wanted to see, after all, none of his relatives or friends in this world had died.

"How are you?"

Holding the Resurrection Stone in his hand, he saw the Grim Reaper who had been molested by himself, and Sherlock expressed his disgust.

"Sure enough, it's this stone, I've put a curse on it, but it's also a strange thing that can be seen with people's own eyes! The world in which the dead live is the same as the real world, except that there is a wall in between, which was once imperceptible, but this stone allows your eyes to see through this wall, and he can see the soul of the dead, and the so-called resurrection is just to make the two meet and not really resurrection. ”

"But if the soul of the dead does not want to see you, then this stone will summon a fake substance that is more real than the soul, hidden in your memory, and he will satisfy your desire to see." ”

Sherlock pouted, "I feel like this stone is so cheap, just like you, you would have made such a harmful thing in the first place." ”

Sherlock put Marvolo's ring into the wooden box, the so-called Grim Reaper was out of sight and out of mind, who cared if he was scolding Sherlock at this time.

"Who are you talking to?" Dumbledore asked weakly.

"Death!"

"He's here to collect my soul?"

"There's nothing that comes purely to dislike people."

"Then it looks like I still have some time to live." Dumbledore was starting to be optimistic again.

"It's time for the medicine, Professor."

Snape picked up a large crystal cup, filled with pungent potions.

It is also difficult to get stubborn old people to drink medicine.

Dumbledore resisted, "Snape, there's nothing worse in the world than your potions, and every time I drink it, I think I'm going to die right away." ”

"I'm going to use up all the private goods in the warehouse with these potions." Snape said calmly.

"It's a painful process, it feels like the outside of the burnt bone is starting to grow back, and sometimes I want to chop off this arm." Dumbledore was uncomfortable.

Snape said, "It's useless, the power of the curse has penetrated deep into your soul, even if you cut off your arm, it's useless, and the reason why your hand is like this is because you put the ring on your right hand at the time." ”

"But I'm still curious, what did you use to destroy the soul fragments in the ring, as long as it is an ordinary item but injected into the soul, it will become the most evil black magic item in the world, Horcruxes, Horcruxes are difficult to destroy with magic, in addition to destroying things that can be restrained, you must pay a certain price to sacrifice."

Sherlock added, "My Homitz and the scarecrow charm are fundamentally different from Horcruxes, although they both borrow the principles of Horcruxes. ”

Dumbledore nodded, "Of course...... You're a monster in magic, and I borrowed the power of Gryffindor's sword from destroying the soul fragments in the Horcrux. ”

Sherlock frowned, and sure enough, he was still leaning on Gryffindor's sword.

However, the sword of this world did not absorb the blood of the basilisk, and it stands to reason that it should not have the power to destroy Horcruxes, but perhaps the sword of Gryffindor itself has such great strength.

The blade made by the goblin only absorbs what can strengthen it, and in the secret room of the original book, Ha stabbed the basilisk to death with a sword, and the sword was soaked in the venom of the basilisk, and the venom of the basilisk is a substance that can destroy Horcruxes, and the Gryffindor sword absorbs venom and also has the function of destroying Horcruxes.

It absorbs some substances, such as venom.

The sword doesn't need to be wiped, and the elf's silverware repels dust.

The Gryffindor Sword can even resist certain spells, such as the Fire Charm and the Copy Charm.

This means that the sword is difficult to destroy by fire, and at the same time impossible to copy.

It will not decay in soil and water, but will absorb the power of the earth, making the sword more powerful and sharper.

"Anyway, destroying the Horcruxes is a blow to Voldemort!" Sherlock laughed.

"It's a pity that the seven only destroyed one, and there are still six left, I don't know if Professor Dumbledore has the whereabouts of the other ones, and I may not be able to help you with the remaining Horcruxes." Sherlock said.

"Although the child destroyed one, he can't have a fluke mentality, maybe the happier person is still Voldemort, after all, I can be abolished with a Horcrux, and there is a soul-level relationship between the Horcrux and the owner, you can destroy this ring, Voldemort will inevitably sense it, maybe his current physical condition will be clear."

Dumbledore's glasses reflected a glint of concern, "I think he's going to do something in the near future, it could be Harry or it's you, and I know you set a bright trap for Voldemort at the Ministry of Magic." ”

"It's called Yangmou!" Sherlock retorted.

"It's pretty much the same, I'm in a weak state right now...... he said.

"Then you should have a good rest, and I am here at school." Sherlock said.

"Actually, Voldemort was a disadvantage at first, the school had me, and the Ministry of Magic could support you at any time, but now...... I couldn't show my strong side in front of Voldemort. ”

"Voldemort will now take the Ministry of Magic far more seriously than Hogwarts." Dumbledore was weak.

His tone gradually became firm, "We have to go to the Ministry of Magic, in the occult department, there is something very important to take, I have a hunch, Voldemort already knows the fate prophecy crystal hidden in the occult department about him and Harry, if he gets it first and cracks the prophecy, everything we do will no longer make sense." ”

Dumbledore continued, "Sherlock, I feel that because of your presence, maybe one of the prophecies was wrong, but who knows!" And you've now put the Book of Sherlock in the Ministry of Magic. ”

"But with your current state, if you encounter Voldemort at the Ministry of Magic, I'm afraid you won't have the slightest chance of winning." Sherlock rationally analyzed, even if it was just an external feeling, Dumbledore in front of him was already extremely weak.

"I'll rush to the Ministry of Magic in a pinch, as long as there are no other accidents at this stage, then the overall situation is still in control, and the most important thing is that you still have to hide well in the school, Professor Dumbledore, and no one else can know that you are in such a weak state, especially ......" Sherlock exhaled.

"In particular, Voldemort is likely to be aware of Harry's connection to his soul......"

Sherlock looked back at Snape, "Professor, how much time does Headmaster Dumbledore have?" ”

"Less than a year ......"
