Chapter 423: The Origin of the Horcrux
"I'll take my leave, Pendragon, I can't stay with these people anymore. Fudge slowly retreated to the door, "We can talk about cooperation another day....... As for now, I think I'm going to have to go and bring Crouch Jr. back. ”
With that, Fudge turned around and walked out the door. However, just as he was about to step out the door, he turned around and walked up to Louis.
"It's your and Harry's bonus, a thousand Galleons. Fudge pulled out a large bag of Garens from his pocket, "Originally, this was a reward for first place, but now the two of you are the first together........ So, the two of you split it up. ”
He grudgingly smiled at Louis, then walked out of the office, slamming the door shut.
"I think we have some important things to do right now. As soon as Fudge was out of the room, Dumbledore said, "Minerva, please bring your back to Madam Pomfrey." By the way, you'll see a black dog there. Don't worry, it's Sirius, let him be there with Harry. ”
Professor McGonagall nodded, then half-pulled Harry out of the office.
"Severus, you need to inform some old friends for me, tell them what is going on. Dumbledore said to Snape, "When you're done...... You know what to do next.........."
"No problem. Snape's face looked very bad, and it was clear that what Dumbledore had asked him to do was not so easy.
"Good luck, Severus. Dumbledore smiled, but there was a hint of concern in his expression.
After a few minutes, Dumbledore turned to Louis and asked, "Pendragon, do you think we have a chance of winning?"
"Nothing in the world is absolute, is it?" said Louis lightly.
From the time Dumbledore deliberately ignored him at the beginning, he knew that the old fox must have something to look for him.
"What if I want your help?" Dumbledore looked at Louis earnestly.
"I think you should have said the same thing to my father thirteen years ago. ”
"yes...... That's right........." Dumbledore seemed to be immersed in the memories of the past, "but I have to say, although your father is already very good. However, you are better than him. Even, since I became a teacher, you are one of the best students I have ever met. ”
"Is it better than Voldemort?" asked Louis with interest.
He had always been very curious about how good Voldemort's student days were, so that he could pull up such a large number of followers after graduation.
There are a few of those followers who see the wind and steer, but there are also many who are very loyal, like little Crouch. If it weren't for the difference in stance, Louis still admired Crouch Jr. very much, and his loyalty can be said to be really incomparable.
Although the Pendragon family has similar wizards, these are all run by the family for thousands of years, and they cannot be solved overnight.
Nowadays, almost everyone in the wizarding world says that Voldemort gained the support of so many people because of his tyranny, which seemed to Louis to be very ridiculous. If Voldemort was really that powerful, he could completely overturn the entire wizarding world by himself, and what else did he need to do with those followers?
What's more, Voldemort was a pure-blooded man. And in this way, he will actually go to unite the giants. Although he didn't dare to say whether he would fulfill his promise when he got the magic world, compared to the Minister of Magic, who was also a pure-blood, but didn't dare to contact the giant, it was already a very judgmental situation.
"I'm not sure if it's just magical talent................ But if you count the mind, Voldemort is definitely not as good as you. Dumbledore smiled and said, "A truly great person is not dominated by power, but by power." ”
"No matter what you say, don't think I'm going to help you. Louis said weakly, "That's Voldemort, you should be the one to deal with him, isn't it..........?"
"I know what you mean, Pendragon. Dumbledore said unhurriedly, "I can understand Pendragon's tradition of being neutral, and neither dark wizards nor white wizards will come to help. For for you, no matter who wins, in the end your family will still exist, and will only grow stronger with time. ”
"Since you know everything, what are you looking for me for?" said Louis, a little impatiently.
"I suppose you must be a little troubled right now, Louis?" Dumbledore was not annoyed by Louis's tone, he still seemed so kind, "After such a long time of temptation, you should already know that Voldemort's soul is on the verge of collapse, right?"
"What the hell do you mean?" asked Louis, with an ugly face.
"History is written by the victors, and I'm sure you know that better than I do. Dumbledore didn't answer Louis's question, and continued to say to himself, "But what if the victor is a madman?"
".............." Louis.
That's right, Dumbledore made the point.
Truth be told, Louis wasn't interested in either Voldemort or Dumbledore winning. For him, as long as the family is still prosperous, it is enough for him to live a chic and happy life.
However, after several years of investigation and personal verification, Louis became more and more sure that Voldemort's soul problem had become more and more serious.
"Since you know about Horcruxes........... Dumbledore closed his eyes, as if he had made up his mind, "and now according to the results of my investigation, Voldemort has split into five Horcruxes. No one knows what that means better than your family, Louis?"
Louis's face became even more ugly. Yes, there is no one who can compare to the Pendragon family's Horcrux making and research. Because........... The original Horcruxes were the work of an ancestor of the Pendragon family.
When the Horcrux was first introduced, the entire Pendragon family believed they had researched the key to eternal life.
But it turns out that those who use Horcruxes do achieve some degree of immortality........ But as one of the ancestors of the Pendragon family said, what you want to gain, you have to lose more.......
