Chapter 336: Horcruxes

"Although the coffee from Connelly is good, I think the tea is better for you, and of course, the juice. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info" Dumbledore said, his whole body sitting close to his chair, and his whole body looked very relaxed.

"Oh, just bring me a glass of juice. Van Lin said that he didn't care what he was drinking, he was just thinking about what Dumbledore was going to talk to him about.

Dumbledore's office is not the most luxurious place in Hogwarts, but it must be the most sacred place.

At the top of one of the Hogwarts towers, Dumbledore has a panoramic view of the castle.

This is the Headmaster of Hogwarts, and portraits of past Hogwarts Headmasters are preserved here. They have locked their memories and a part of their souls in the mural through special techniques, and whenever the Headmaster of Hogwarts has any doubts, then the portrait here is the best debater, and the wisdom of the predecessors is always impossible to ignore.

Van Lin had been here more than once, and he could almost recognize all the old men in these portraits, but unfortunately, Lady Hefpuff, the first Headmaster of Hogwarts, did not leave a portrait of herself, and he wanted to see the founder of this great school a thousand years ago.

As always, the successive headmasters have always shown their inconspicuous side except for a slight movement when Dumbledore entered, and the wisdom of these portraits is the wealth of Hogwarts, although it is a bit bad to inherit the character of the headmasters, you must know that the headmasters of Hogwarts also have wizards who came out of Slytherin, and some of the ideas that Slytherin adheres to are passed down from generation to generation.

"Oh, of course!" Dumbledore snapped his fingers, and two glasses of chilled orange juice appeared on the coffee table in front of him.

"Speaking of which, this is the work of the house-elf named Dobby, and I think his current owner must be you. Dumbledore said.

"Hmm. Van Lin nodded, he suddenly felt that he hadn't seen Dobby in a long time, although Dobby had helped him make the bed the day before, but usually this kind of thing was done by himself, Dobby was just casually strolling, and it seemed that he was having a good time in the house-elf kitchen at Hogwarts.

"Professor Dumbledore, I don't think you're just coming to me for a drink of juice or to discuss house-elves. ā€

"Oh, indeed. Dumbledore said, standing up and gently brushing Fawkes's feathers with his hands.

Fawkes seemed to be enjoying it, and it let out that strange chirp.

It seemed that Dumbledore was thinking about some kind of question, his hand paused slightly, just a change in expression, and in an instant, the atmosphere around him became serious.

Fan Lin couldn't help but sit up straight, and he couldn't help but focus his eyes on those portraits that seemed to be idle at this moment, but the movements were very secretive.

They always do this, pretending to be indifferent, but they remember everything in their minds.

"Well, it looks like we're going to start at the beginning. Dumbledore said, and he sat back down, "Maybe we can start with some interesting questions, like Voldemort, how about it?"

"Tom Riddle?" said Van Lin, "I don't think I know much more than you do, because he's your student." ā€

"Oh, of course!" said Dumbledore, "Tom is the best student I have ever taught, and there is no doubt about it, except that I seem to have made a very serious mistake in guiding the way. ā€

"You still want to save him instead of defeat him, do you?" asked Van Lin.

"I figured if he had a little hope, I wouldn't mind giving it a try. Dumbledore said, "After all, Tom was just carried away by the power, like ......"

Dumbledore couldn't find the words to describe Tom's actions, and in his opinion, Tom had done enough harm to the wizarding world, but there were also his mistakes.

"I don't think so, Professor Dumbledore. "If fifteen-year-old Tom still has a human nature, then this poor human nature should have been completely wiped out with the birth of the Horcrux." ā€

"Looks like you know a lot. Dumbledore laughed, "I thought you were just smart enough, but now it seems that I underestimated you too much. ā€

Dumbledore gently moved his hand, and Tom Riddle's diary, which was lying quietly at the headmaster's desk, quietly flew into Dumbledore's hand.

"It took me a lot of effort to get it all right, and when I first tried to make it simple, I thought it was just a powerful dark magic object, but Tom was very good at it. ā€

"Of course, he is indeed a very powerful wizard. "And the existence of Horcruxes is proof of that." ā€

"Conquered death?" said Dumbledore, as if to ask himself, the fact that the nature of death had always been one of the greatest mysteries.

If the mystery of death is really interpreted in the Chinese way of reincarnation, then death does not seem to be the end of a story, but rather the beginning of another story.

"I don't think so, Professor. Van Lin said that for Tom Riddle, Van Lin tended to go in the opposite direction to Dumbledore.

"I don't think that Tom Riddle is using magic to show us that he has conquered death, on the contrary, the existence of Horcruxes instead exposes Voldemort's greatest weakness, he is not conquering, he is evading. ā€

"Escape?" Dumbledore sat up straight as if suddenly interested, "Other people's evaluations of Tom are judged by his strength, in fact, Tom is indeed very powerful, even if he was hit by his own Avada Curse, he did not die, I believe you and I know this." ā€

"Yes, of course he won't die, Professor!" Van Lin nodded nondeniably, "Voldemort is indeed very powerful, even the Death Requisition Charm cannot end his life, and I believe that few wizards can do this, not even you." ā€

Van Lin suddenly remembered the image, Malfoy, the escaped Death Eaters, Harry hiding downstairs, and Snape who ended Dumbledore's life with the Require Charm.
