"Make a deal, Scott."

While Scott was still thinking about who was informing, Medea spoke directly.

"You'll help me calculate the whereabouts of Tom's Horcruxes, and I'll open the secret room you've been to."

Hearing Medea's words, Scott was like a fish smelling sweet bait.

He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

He asked Medea, "Can you tell me, then?" How many Horcruxes have you already obtained? ”

"Two pieces."

Medea had no intention of hiding it at all, and even told the details.

"A ring, I found it in the old house of the Gaunt family. There was also a snake named Nagini, poor girl, whom Tom left and fled. ”

When she said this, Medea's tone was full of contentment.

“……”

Scott sucked in a cool breath.

It seems that Medea sacrificed two more pieces of Voldemort's remnant soul in exchange for her own resurrection.

And......

If he remembered correctly, the ring was set with a resurrection stone known as the Deathly Hallows.

In the "original book", Dumbledore was severely injured by the curse left by Voldemort while obtaining the ring, and as a result, he only had one year to live.

But from Medea's understatement, Scott guesses that she doesn't seem to be hurt.

Is this a specialization in the art industry?

Only magic can defeat magic, and dark wizards are better at dealing with dark wizards?

Scott said to Medea in thought, "If I'm not wrong, Voldemort's total number of Horcruxes is seven, and combined with what you have obtained, there are already four known so far. ”

He paused, then continued, "But after Riddle's diary was destroyed by Headmaster Dumbledore, Ravenclaw's crown had also been purified. ”

The green flames danced in the small fireplace in Scott's hand, and Medea's voice remained unhurried.

"You're right." "I used to suspect that the other three Horcruxes were my father's locket, Hufflepuff's gold cup, and Gryffindor's sword. ”

"I doubted it too." Scott said.

Medea spoke of the informant again, "But I was told that the Sword of Gryffindor had been kept in the Headmaster's office by the previous Headmasters, and that it was once the only Founder's relic that had not been lost. ”

Scott was even more sure now, "It must be a portrait of some former principal!" ”

Medea's laughter was heard again from the flames, "You can guess, but I know you won't tell the current Headmaster. ”

“……”

Scott was speechless, he really wouldn't.

He couldn't explain his sources.

"How's that, boy." Medea asked playfully, "Did you agree to the deal I said?" ”

Scott took another few deep breaths before finally speaking, "I'm sorry, you're overestimating me again, if I could have figured out the exact location of the Horcruxes, I'd already told Headmaster Dumbledore. ”

Although the research materials left by Slytherin and Medea in that secret room were extremely tempting to Scott, he chose to refuse.

Not to mention Slytherin's locket and Hufflepuff's gold cup, is he going to take Harry? What does the fact that Potter is also one of the Horcruxes tell Medea?

Medea must obtain Voldemort's full soul in order to fully recover, and she will definitely attack Harry when she knows it.

Although Scott prides himself on being a man with erratic moral boundaries, he still can't afford to sacrifice Harry's life for those research materials.

That kid was miserable enough.

"It doesn't look like you're going to agree to this deal." Medea said coldly.

"I'm sorry, ma'am, but there's really nothing I can do." Scott said.

"Okay, okay."

Medea's tone softened again.

"If you change your mind, don't hesitate to reach out to me, Scott."

Finally, she said threatening words in a smiling tone.

"Finally, boy, even though I admire a genius little wizard like you, there's a limit to what I can tolerate."

With that, she disconnected from the local Floo network.

The green flame in the small fireplace was completely extinguished.

In the darkness, Scott slowly stood up and stuffed the small fireplace into the shape-shifting lizard's leather pouch.

He leaned against the utility room door and breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that Medea was really angry this time, otherwise she would not have said that kind of threatening words directly.

For a moment, Scott always had the illusion that he was walking on a tightrope.

But he could not agree to Medea's deal.

Not only was it because of Harry's life, but he didn't want to tell Medea about the location of the locket and the gold cup.

Medea's recovery would be slower, if she recovered faster......

Although Scott didn't know what kind of trouble she would do, he was worried that he would most likely be involved.

This is what he does not want to see, and it is completely contrary to his wishes.

He wants to be the freest wizard ever!

He is unwilling to get involved in any politics, nor is he willing to devote himself to any reforms, let alone be dragged into any war.

If Medea's recovery had taken longer, if it had been long enough, it might have been enough for Scott to grow up on his own.

For Scott, who now needs time to grow, perhaps Medea and Voldemort's evenly matched battle is the best situation.

Medea wanted to sacrifice Voldemort's soul, and Voldemort was a dark lord who was very resistant to death, and although they were related by blood, they were actually immortal.

Voldemort, who was still in a remnant state, could only flee in the face of Medea, but Scott felt that he could still be saved.

After all, Voldemort is the final boss of the "original", the Dark Lord, how can he be so unrehearsed?

Voldemort wasn't stupid.

Under Medea's pressure, the Dark Lord might be able to rise up and resurrect early, or at least hide his remaining Horcruxes more tightly.

And the resurrected Voldemort will not lose to Medea in terms of frontal strength.

Of course, even if the Dark Lord is successfully resurrected, it may be difficult to organize the original Death Eaters to serve him.

Medea is like the Spider Queen, who seems to be very good at building webs.

Except for a few Death Eaters who were loyal to Voldemort, the others who weren't too loyal might have already fallen under Medea's dress.

Scott was struggling with endless speculations in his mind, reaching out and gently pushing open the door to the utility room, before hurrying away.

Due to the delay in contact with Medea, it was already after the curfew.

He unleashed his magical senses, carefully avoiding Filch and Lady Loris, who were patrolling the night, and the wandering Peeves made it back to the Ravenclaw Tower.

Standing outside the Ravenclaw common room, Scott turned his head to look at the night sky outside the window and smiled helplessly.

It's a little unbelievable to say it, but now he is silently expecting Voldemort, the Dark Lord, to work harder.

Come on, Dark Lord!
