One of them was none other than Riddle, the most handsome of the men and the most relaxed-looking, his right hand resting carelessly on the arm of his chair. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, Riddle already had a huge black gemstone ring on his finger, which looked very luxurious. Apparently, by this time he had killed his father and blamed his uncle Morfin.

"This is Marvolo's heirloom, isn't it?" said George, surprised, "such a large black gem, even if Riddle were sold, he would not be able to buy the corners of this ring." The whole Hogwarts teachers didn't even care at all?"

A poor student in an orphanage, with such fanfare, carries a luxurious black gemstone ring, which is still the heirloom of the Marvolo family.

It's amazing that no one in the entire Hogwarts teacher noticed. Dumbledore in particular had been investigating Riddle, what the hell was he investigating?

Dumbledore looked a little embarrassed, and he said embarrassedly, "The Marvolo family has been crazy for years, they can't deal with other people, and the people in the wizarding world don't know much about them. I also found out about this information after Voldemort graduated. ”

"I didn't really notice at the time that Riddle was already wearing the ring, and I didn't pay much attention to it at the time. Dumbledore was chagrined, and he missed another opportunity to get out of the young Voldemort.

He gestured toward the middle-aged wizard and explained, "This is an old colleague of mine, Horace Slughorn. ”

At this point, Riddle began to speak, and Dumbledore immediately fell silent.

"Sir, is Professor Meles retiring?" asked Riddle as he turned to Slughorn.

"Tom, Tom, I know I can't tell you. ”

Slughorn reproachfully shook a frosted finger at him, but blinked his eyes to slightly undermine the effect, "I have to say, I want to know where you got your news, kid. You know more than half of the faculty members. ”

Riddle smiled slightly, and the other boys laughed too, casting admiring glances at him.

"You ghost, you know things you shouldn't know, and you're careful to please important people, thank you for the pineapple fruit by the way, you guessed it, this is my favorite. ”

Several boys snickered.

"I'm sure you'll be the Minister of Magic in twenty years. Maybe only fifteen years, if you send me candied pineapple regularly. I have a very hard relationship in the ministry. ”

The other boys laughed again, and Tom Riddle smiled slightly, like a big man.

"I don't know if politics is right for me, sir," said Tom Riddle blandly as the laughter faded, "and I have no background in the first place. ”

"Why," said Slughorn heartily, "it is all too clear that your talent must come from a decent wizarding family." You've got a bright future ahead of you, Tom, and I've never missed a student. ”

The little golden clock on Slughorn's desk struck eleven.

"Oh my God, it's time, it's time to go, boys, or we're in trouble. Lestrange, turn in your papers tomorrow, or you'll be locked up. So do you, Avery. ”

The boys came out in a row. Slughorn climbed up from his chair and brought the empty cup to the table. The movement behind him made him look back, and Riddle was still standing there.

"Hurry up, Tom, you don't want to be caught until the lights are out and you're still out, you're a prefect. ”

"Sir, I want to ask you something. ”

"Then ask, kid, ask ......"

"Sir, I want to ask you if you know, 'Horcruxes'. ”

Slughorn glared at Riddle, fat fingers caressing the foot of the cup absentmindedly.

"Defence Against the Dark Arts subject, huh?"

No, sir, I don't understand what I read in the book. ”

George raised an eyebrow, Hogwarts at that time was obviously more open than later, and wizards had easier access to power. **The collection of books in the area, even Horcrux manufacturing can be found. Thankfully, Hogwarts is his now.

He glanced at Dumbledore, who was looking intently at Riddle, hoping that he wouldn't take anything of value from Hogwarts, after all, it was now his collection.

"Hmm...... Oh, yes...... It's hard to find a book at Hogwarts that goes into detail about Horcruxes, Tom. That's very evil stuff, very evil. Slughorn said slowly.

"But you obviously know well, sir? I mean, a powerful wizard like you. I'm sorry, I mean, if you can't tell me, obviously, I just know that if someone can tell me, it's you, so I just wanted to ask. ”

"Well," said Slughorn, who didn't look at Riddle, but played with the ribbon on the box of candied pineapples, "of course, it wouldn't hurt to give you a brief introduction, just to give you an understanding of the term." A Horcrux is an object that holds part of a person's soul. ”

"But I don't quite understand what that's going on, sir. Riddle said gently, but there was an unusual sparkle in his eyes.

Seeing this, George couldn't help but feel some bad fun in his heart, and he planned to put some interesting things in the ** area in the future. If there are students like Voldemort in the future, they will definitely gain a lot from those interesting things.

"That is, you split your soul," Slughorn said lightly, "hiding a part of it in some object outside your body." In this way, even if your body is attacked or destroyed, you will not be able to die, because there is still a part of your soul left unharmed. ”

"But, of course, being in this form can be very painful, and life is worse than death. Few people think like that, Tom, less and less. It's better to die. ”

Apparently, Riddle ignored Professor Slughorn's warning, his face already showing a greedy expression. Now he can't completely hide his **.

"How do you split the soul?"

"Oh," Slughorn said uneasily, "you must understand that the soul should remain intact. Splitting it is a transgression, an anti-natural. ”

"But how do you divide it?"

"By evil deeds, the most wicked acts, by murder. Killing kills splits souls, and wizards who want to create Horcruxes take advantage of this destruction by sealing the fragments of the split souls. ”

"Sealed? But how?"

"There's a spell, don't ask me, I don't know!" Slughorn shook his head irritably, "Do I look like I've tried? Am I like a murderer?"
