Chapter 551: Horcruxes

Dumbledore blinked and instructed Harry and the others, "Miss Hermione, please go find the house-elf outside the common room and ask him to prepare some tea and cookies, Harry, please go with her... After all, I can't do any magic like I do now.

Minerva, you can help set Voldemort in place, we can't let him die yet, and he's in a more fragile state than a normal baby, and needs to be shown to Madam Pomfrey... Don't let your guard down, though.

Hagrid, go up there and see how things are, although Achedna has been beaten back to the Demon Realm, but I don't know how long it will take to return... Those little devils are not easy to deal with. ”

Of course, Harry and Hermione didn't want to go, and it was obvious that Old Deng wanted to break them away, but Professor McGonagall didn't have any objections, and after using his wand to control the sleeping Voldemort and float up, Hagrid stood up obediently, and dragged the two bear children who wanted to resist.

Soon, Roger and Dumbledore were left in the small office, sitting face to face.

"I'd love to know, why didn't you want to kill him and bring him back alive?" Dumbledore adjusted his posture to make his tired body sit more comfortably, "With your temperament, you should think that the dead are not a threat." ”

Roger pouted: "The diary is all for you, don't say you haven't found anything." ”

"There's some speculation, but I'd like to hear your opinion anyway. Dumbledore said.

The identity of Roger, the reborn (Dumbledore's guess), as well as the complex and huge memory, and a lot of unknown secrets, have always made Old Deng attach great importance to him. Like Lily... For example, Ariana... Like demons...

Although looking through his memories and not understanding why he knew this, Lao Deng felt that he must know more than that.

"What do I think...?" Roger didn't look at the old man, lowered his head and reached out to play with the wand that belonged to Voldemort on the table: "Kill Voldemort in one hundred!"

"Really? Then you didn't show the slightest intention of killing him. Dumbledore smiled and said, "I always say that he is better than dead, but isn't he still alive?" I never doubted your determination to destroy him, but do you need him to live now?"

"It's 'we' all need him to live..."Roger raised his eyelids and glanced at Lao Deng, then lowered his head to fiddle with his wand: "With your strength, you should have discovered the special features of that diary, it is not easy to damage, not to mention, the one that exists in it is not just a memory, right?"

Dumbledore nodded, "That thing has a lot of magic protecting it, it's a rather complex dark magic creation... After all, if it's just a memory, it's impossible to have your own actions and thoughts, and easily trick a little girl into opening the secret room......"

"Did you keep the diary or destroy it?" asked Roger suddenly.

Dumbledore blinked, "Most of the magic didn't work, but I managed to destroy it without much effort. ”

"Oh," Roger replied nonchalantly, dragging the topic back again, "Then when you saw the role of the diary, did you ever doubt that possibility... For example, soul split..."

"And then hide some of it in some object outside of his body, so Voldemort's body was attacked or destroyed and he didn't die, because part of his soul remained undamaged?" Dumbledore took over and said calmly, "Yes, I guessed. That diary shows that Voldemort split his soul.

"But it just so happened to strike me as a great ominous thing that the diary had been used as both a guard and a weapon. You must know that the purpose of Horcruxes is to safely seal a part of your soul, not to throw it on the side of the road and risk being wiped out to kill someone... In fact, it has already happened, and that piece of soul no longer exists. The old man rubbed his swollen head and slowly told his worries:

"Voldemort's carelessness with this Horcrux probably means that he's done... Or planning to make more Horcruxes, so losing one wouldn't be so dangerous..."

Roger had straightened up halfway through Dumbledore's speech, which made sense, and he had indeed figured out the truth.

"As the saying goes, a cunning rabbit will have three nests," Roger's finger pointed at the table, "so there must be at least seven of a cunning man like Voldemort to feel a little safer." ”

"Seven Horcruxes!" even Dumbledore's eyes widened when he heard the number.

Roger nodded: "Plus the piece in Voldemort's body." His soul was divided into eight pieces. ”

Lao Deng's brows furrowed tightly all of a sudden: "Is the news reliable?"

It was madness to tear an entire soul into eight parts, it wasn't a small operation like cutting off a finger and connecting it up, and a mishandle could put him in an extremely dangerous situation.

"Don't worry, I'll get one of them when I catch Voldemort again. Roger made a reassuring gesture: "A big snake named Nagini." Originally, I wanted to eat snake gall, but unfortunately other magic can't hurt it except for the fire spell... Alas, they were all burned to ashes..."

From the point of view of dealing with Voldemort, the interests of the two are the same, and Dumbledore nodded without too much doubt: "So there are still five Horcruxes hidden in some hidden places..."

"Actually, there are only two left," Roger raised the corners of his mouth and showed a bright smile, "I thought I should let you feel the joy of digging for treasure, so I left you two." ”

"You've already found the other three?" what are they?" Dumbledore asked.

"The Ravenclaw tiara and the Slytherin locket, and... Harry Potter. Roger laughed silently, the corners of his mouth raised high to the sides.

Dumbledore's expression changed suddenly, and he disappeared almost the moment Harry's name was spoken.

"Looks like I'm right," the old man said calmly, "I had this suspicion two years ago when I found out that Harry could speak snakes... He's so similar to Voldemort, Parseltongue... Resourceful... Strong-willed... There is also a certain contempt for the law. ”

"Resourceful, he?" Roger scoffed, "With all due respect, it's a hairless gorilla." ”
