Chapter 50: Horcruxes
"I can't say that Dobby can't leak too much about his master. The secret room has been opened, and no one can stop that man's plot. ”
As he spoke, Dobby fled quickly, and something strange happened, in this castle that restricted the use of shapeshifting, he easily used the shapeshifter to escape. In an instant, as if he had never been there, the house-elf fled.
"Looks like we're going to have to re-examine the Academy's defenses. Dumbledore, he actually escaped using a shapeshifter. ”
Looking at the way Dobby fled, Yang Su smiled bitterly and said, "Although I know where his destination is, I don't have any reason to break into Malfoy's manor. ”
"yes, yes. But we finally got some news, didn't we? At least we know that the opening of the Chamber of Secrets had something to do with Voldemort. As long as the evidence is found, Hagrid can clear his name. ”
"But here's the problem, that guy is there now. Last year it was attached to Professor Quirrell, but what about this year? Could it be that another professor became a Death Eater and was willing to be possessed by him? ”
"No, the soul that was attached to Professor Quirrell is gone. But there's one thing I feel I have to tell you. Voldemort, he refined the Horcruxes. Split your own soul and attach it to a special item to create a Horcrux. As long as his Horcruxes are not completely destroyed, he will not actually die. ”
"You mean, his Horcruxes made it to the Academy? Spirits attached to objects bewitch the Horcrux holder to help him? ”
Listening to Dumbledore's words, Yang Su asked with interest. He spent a lot of time browsing books in the forbidden area, and he knew about the existence of Horcruxes. He also knew how it was made, but he always wondered why Voldemort did it. Shouldn't he be resurrected now? What good is it for him to open the secret room.
"That's right, but there are so many unsolved mysteries about this incident. Before we do that, we had better be prepared, and we should first find the location of the secret room. ”
……
After some discussion, the two left separately, Yang Su had to prepare for tomorrow's teaching, and Dumbledore had more to do. The Chamber of Secrets was reopened, and a Muggle student was petrified by a monster, which was a very serious matter. If he wasn't prepared, Dumbledore could wait to be forced to resign by the school board.
The next day, Yang Su got up early as usual and came to the classroom after breakfast. Today's only student, Ryan, was already sitting in the classroom waiting.
"I think you're ready to learn more advanced magic. These magic tricks may seem simple, but I hope you can learn them carefully. ”
As soon as the words fell, Yang Su left the classroom with Ryan and came to an open space.
"The skill of dimensional science is mainly to use its own magic to draw the power obtained after opening the dimensional rift to attack. At the same time, this power allows you to teleport and project regardless of location. ”
After Yang Su briefly explained the use of Dimensional Illusion and Dimensional Migration, Rien summoned Nothingness, a creature from the gap between different dimensions, which could make him understand the dimensional magic described by Yang Su more quickly.
Trying again and again did not make Ryan lose confidence, on the contrary, he was moving towards success step by step in the continuous attempt.
Looking at Yang Su, who was obsessed with practicing dimensional magic, he was relieved and did not give too much guidance. Only when appropriate is there some obvious mistake corrected.
After class, Yang Su did not return to the dormitory as usual to study alchemy or read books in the forbidden area. He began to wander around Hogwarts, and although he knew that it would not be of much use in finding the Chamber of Secrets, he wanted to go the extra mile to find the secrets of the House.
Walking to the notice board, Yang Su saw an interesting news that Hogwarts had actually opened a dueling club. It was eight o'clock in the evening, and it looked like a lot of fun.
So at eight o'clock that night, Yang Su walked into the auditorium. The usual long tables and chairs have disappeared in favor of a gilded stage that emerges along a wall, illuminated by hundreds of candles floating above. Once again, the ceiling was dark as velvet, and a lot of students came, speculating about the organizers of this dueling club.
What the leaders didn't expect was that it was Lockhart and Snape who took to the stage.
The two were dressed as usual, and Lockhart was shining brightly in a fuchsia robe. Snape, on the other hand, was dressed in plain black.
Standing on the stage, Lockhart waved everyone to silence, and then shouted, "Come around, come around!" Can everyone see me? Can you hear me? That's great! Here's the thing, Professor Dumbledore has allowed me to start this little dueling club and train you enough to defend yourself in the way I've used countless times in case you need to defend yourself one day—see my published work for more information. ”
After selling himself as usual, Lockhart continued: "Let me introduce my assistant, Professor Snape, who told me when I proposed to open a sparring club that he knows a thing or two about dueling, and he generously agreed to help me give me a little demonstration before class. I mean, I don't want you little ones to worry - I'll give you back your potions teacher intact when I'm done demonstrating to him, don't be afraid!"
Yang Su was speechless at Lockhart's words on stage, how confident he would be to agree to a duel with a former Death Eater and Order of the Phoenix member and the current Head of Slytherin.
Snape listened to Lockhart's words, and the two turned to bow to each other, and they held their wands to their chests like arrows. At this time, Lockhart also explained: "As you can see, we hold the wand in the normal duel position, count to three, and we will cast the first magic. Of course, neither of us will take the other's life. ”
"One-two-three-" As soon as Lockhart's words fell, both of them jerked their wands over their shoulders at the same time. I heard Snape shout first, "Get rid of your weapons!"
Suddenly, a dazzling red light flashed, and Lockhart was knocked unsteady on his feet. He jerked backwards off the stage, slammed into the wall, and then slid down, curled up on the floor.
Looking at Lockhart's appearance at this time, Yang Su felt pain for him, and at the same time mourned for him silently: "Who is not good to cover up, but Snape, have you forgotten that he has been staring at the position of the defense of the dark arts teacher?" ”
At this time, watching Lockhart's tragic situation, the Slytherin students applauded Snape excitedly.
