338. The Last Horcrux

Scott shook his head at Harry's question, "I'm just guessing. ”

With that, he turned to look at Dumbledore.

Dumbledore smiled and said, "It's also possible, after all, no one can say that they have fully mastered the magic of magic." ”

"Okay." Harry looked reluctant, "Is there any way to break this connection?" ”

He looked at Dumbledore with hopeful eyes.

"I'm sorry." There was an apologetic look on Dumbledore's face, "I think maybe only a complete defeat of Voldemort will solve this problem." ”

He glanced at Harry's clenched fists and turned to Scott about Horcruxes, "After receiving the message from Sirius, I went to Black's house, got some news from Kreacher, and went with Sirius to the cave in Harry's dream. ”

Speaking of this, his expression became solemn, "Regulus is a hero, he has long discovered the secret of Voldemort, and in order to destroy Voldemort's Horcrux, he sacrificed his young life. ”

For some reason, he patiently told Scott and Harry about Regulus in detail. Blake's story.

Regulus? Blake was a pure-blood and an admirer of Voldemort, having joined the Death Eaters at the age of 16.

Voldemort once asked him for a house-elf to experiment with, so he recommended the Black family's house-elf Kreacher.

But he found some clues in Kreacher, who was frightened when he returned home, and became suspicious of Voldemort.

So he later took Kreacher to the cave where Voldemort kept the Horcruxes, and took the initiative to drink the poison in exchange for the Horcruxes, the Slytherin locket.

Eventually, he handed the locket to Kreacher and ordered him to destroy the Horcruxes, only to be dragged into the water by the corpse and die.

Dumbledore whispered, "When we arrived, it had been badly damaged, but thankfully we found Regulus's body and buried him. ”

He ...... I mean, Regulus is amazing. Harry said sadly, "Sirius didn't know that, and he said Regulus was a fool." ”

"Sirius was clearly saddened, he had suffered a big blow, and he thought it was all his fault." Dumbledore's voice became muffled, "He told me that if he hadn't escaped from his family, it wouldn't have been his brother's turn to face the terrible Dark Lord. ”

"He's right!"

At this moment, an unfamiliar voice came from the side.

The three men who were talking turned their heads to look at the portraits on the wall that were talking.

Is it Phoenix? Blake's portrait of him with his eyes completely open and his face gloomy.

"Sirius is right, it was his rebellion that cost Regulus his life at such a young age!" He said angrily.

Hearing him say this, Harry immediately stopped.

"Who are you?" He asked, tilting his head.

Phoenix in the painting? Blake glanced at Harry condescendingly, with a look of arrogance, "I'm the former Headmaster of Hogwarts!" Also the great-great-grandfather of Sirius and Regulus! ”

Harry was a little surprised by who he was, but stood up to retort to him, "Why do you think it's Sirius' fault?" That's obviously Voldemort's fault! Moreover, if it weren't for the fact that the Black family was madly obsessed with Voldemort, how could Regulus become a Death Eater? ”

"Potter boy! Who do you think you're talking to! "Phoenix in the painting? Blake was furious, "Is that your dad Jaime? Potter, that kid broke Sirius! ”

"They became good friends because they got along!" Not to be outdone, Harry was not to be outdone.

"Humph!"

Phoenix in the painting? Blake snorted coldly, and before he could say something, a hand reached out from the portrait next to him and covered his mouth.

"Don't make a noise, Phoenix."

In the top row of portraits, a witch with long curly silver hair spoke.

Her voice sounded soft and majestic.

"We're just portraits." "Don't point fingers at the living," she said. ”

Scott glanced up.

Is it Dalys who speaks? Derwent, one of the most famous Headmasters of Hogwarts, was also a well-known healer during her lifetime.

Today, St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries also has her portrait on display.

Dalis? After Devonte finished speaking, put Phoenix below? The wizard covered Blake's mouth let go of his hand.

Phoenix? Blake's expression was ugly, but he didn't say anything more.

"Thank you, Dalys."

With Dumbledore smiling at Talis? Derwent thanks, Phoenix? Blake's face darkened.

"Sit down, Harry." Dumbledore motioned for Harry to sit down.

Then he said to Scott; "I'd like to ask you to do the arithmetic divination again, Scott."

Scott nodded knowingly, "About Horcruxes?" ”

Dumbledore's expression turned serious.

"Yes, about Voldemort's Horcruxes." He whispered, "Voldemort has a total of 7 Horcruxes, and the ones we know today are Tom's Journal, Ravenclaw's Tiara, Slytherin's Locket, Hufflepuff's Gold Cup, ......."

Harry exclaimed, "The crown is also a Horcrux? And Hufflepuff's Gold Cup? ”

Dumbledore nodded, "The Ravenclaw crown has been purified, and as for the Hufflepuff Gold Cup, it was it that stole from Gringotts at the beginning of school. ”

At this point, he paused, "According to Lestrange, the owner of that underground vault, the gold cup was given to them by Voldemort for safekeeping. ”

Harry's eyes widened, "So the gold cup fell into the hands of that Slytherin daughter?" ”

"It's not just the Golden Cup." Dumbledore muttered, "I suspect that the Slytherin pendant was also taken by her, and of course, there is one more thing. ”

He took a sip of hot tea before continuing, "In pursuit of Voldemort's Horcruxes, I once visited the old Gaunt family's mansion. Through the traces there, I can be sure that someone had taken something from there before me. During that time, Lady Slytherin had only recently left Hogwarts. ”

Scott lowered his gaze to the steaming teacup in his hand and said, "If Voldemort really hid one of the Horcruxes in the Gaunt mansion, then Medea has at least three Horcruxes in her hands. ”

"With the two destroyed and purified at Hogwarts, only two Horcruxes are still missing." Dumbledore said.

Scott nodded, reaching out and pulling out his wand.

"I'll try my best, even if it doesn't always work," he said. ”

"Wait!" Harry was clearly confused, "I don't understand, why Slytherin's daughter collects Horcruxes?" Did she join forces with Voldemort? ”

Scott turned his head to look at him and replied, "No, she and Voldemort are in an antagonistic relationship, and she needs to sacrifice Voldemort's full soul to fully recover." ”

He recounted the vows Medea had made with Ravenclaw, while scanning the portraits on the walls with the rest of his eyes.

"And that kind of thing?" Harry was visibly surprised to hear this for the first time.

"Reminiscent of Medea's ......actions at Hogwarts," Scott retracted his gaze, "I suspect that the reason why she occupies the Merlin Sir Order and Edin Castle is to complete the ritual of sacrificing Horcruxes with the powerful magical power contained in those ancient buildings. ”

"I think the same as you, Scott." Dumbledore confirmed the speculation.

Scott didn't care about Harry, who was still in shock, and took the initiative to start arithmetic divination.

With the wave of his wand, a string of complex numbers began to roll, change, collide, explode, and calculate in the air.

"The law of arithmetic!"

"The numbers are revealed!"

Scott waved his wand repeatedly, and countless numbers continued to turn into dots of golden light and fall, and the final result began to emerge.

Figures[1].

The golden number[1] appeared and flew towards Scott, who reached out his free left hand and grasped the number in his hand, then closed his eyes slightly.

"This is arithmetic divination?" Harry's muttering reached Scott's ears, "It looks so much better than reading crystal balls and tea leaves in our divination class." ”

After a long moment, Scott opened his eyes.

"There's only one left." He said to Dumbledore, "Medea didn't get three, but four. ”

Dumbledore was only surprised for a moment by this result, and quickly reacted.

"No wonder Voldemort was so angry." He sighed under his breath, "Just like Harry saw in his dreams, his anger nearly destroyed that seaside cave." ”

At this time, Harry said with some excitement; "Isn't that a good thing? As long as we find the remaining Horcruxes, we have a chance to defeat Voldemort once and for all! ”

"That's exactly what happened." Scott picked up the teacup again, "But who knows if Medea will become the Dark Lord who is more terrible than Voldemort." ”

As he spoke, he continued to observe the portrait with his peripheral vision.

This time, he managed to see Phoenix? Anger loomed on Blake's face.

Harry agrees with Scott's claim.

"You're right, Scott." "After all," he said, "that lady is a Slytherin daughter." ”

Obviously, he didn't have a good impression of everything related to Slytherin House.

Dumbledore suddenly asked, "Harry, I wonder how you're doing in dueling classes and in dueling clubs?" ”

Apparently, he had already started thinking about Harry's safety.

Harry was a little embarrassed by his question, "I'm sorry, but I don't have as many spells as Hermione, although my dueling results are good. ”

"Don't worry, the duel score is not directly related to the number of spells mastered." Dumbledore said with a smile.

He then asked Harry a few more questions, which allowed Scott to leave with Harry.

But Harry didn't obey and left.

"Professor, I'd like to see Sirius." He pleaded with Dumbledore.

Dumbledore thought about it and agreed, and he let Scott take matters into his own hands and personally take Harry out of the fireplace.

When they left, Scott was left alone in the entire office.

Of course, he didn't make any superfluous movements, and just got up and left.
