"No, sir, of course not," Riddle said busily, "I'm sorry...... I didn't mean to offend ......"

"Where, where, no offense," Slughorn said in a gruff voice, "it's normal to be a little curious about these things...... Talented wizards are always attracted to the magical side......"

"Yes, sir," said Riddle, "but what I don't understand, just out of curiosity, I want to ask, is a Horcrux useful? Is a soul only split once? Is it better to divide a few more pieces to make you stronger? Isn't seven, for example, the most magical number?

"My God, Tom!" cried Slughorn, "seven! isn't it evil enough to kill one? Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Slughorn looked very uneasy now, glaring at Riddle with great regret for saying what he had just said, as if he vaguely sensed something.

He looked at Riddle solemnly and whispered, "We're talking about hypotheses, aren't they? It's just academic, right?" ”

"Yes, sir, of course. Riddle replied quickly.

"Tom, what am I talking about..... That's what we're talking about, but don't say it. It would be upset for the teachers and principals to know that we had talked about Horcruxes. It's a taboo forbidden at Hogwarts, you know, Dumbledore was especially vehemently opposed to ....."

"I won't say it, sir. Riddle departed, his face ecstatic as he turned his back to Slughorn, and his handsome face was hideous.

"You're so against Horcruxes that you didn't think to take them away from the Forbidden Book Zone?" asked George, curious.

Dumbledore was stunned for a moment, he immediately reacted again, and hurriedly said, "In the forbidden book area of Hogwarts, there were no magic books for making Horcruxes at that time, but there are many ancient books in the forbidden book area, and there will always be some magic books that mention Horcruxes. ”

He explained, "At that time, Hogwarts was still very open-minded, and some evil spells, terrible magic, could be found in the forbidden section. ”

"I have to say that Riddle is indeed a genius, and he relied on the words scattered in many dark magic books to restore the whole picture of the entire Horcrux. It wasn't until I became Headmaster that I completely cleared out of the forbidden section of Hogwarts for content related to Horcruxes. ”

George didn't ask directly about Horcruxes, as long as the books were still at Hogwarts, he would be able to find them himself when school started. What's more, those books are only partially of reference to him now, and even if he can't find them, they are nothing.

"Seven Horcruxes, how many have you found?" asked George.

The memories just now and the memories I saw are just an introduction, the whereabouts of the Horcruxes, and that's the point of everything.

Dumbledore looked embarrassed and said with some embarrassment, "There is only one one that I have." ”

"I've got to say, you're procrastinating enough. George said slowly, "It's been decades since you started paying attention to Riddle, since you got Mofen's memories and being sure that Riddle killed his father. ”

Dumbledore's procrastination was truly amazing, and he had been paying attention to Riddle since he was eleven years old. But after that, Dumbledore didn't do anything, just quietly watched Riddle grow and snare his minions.

When he confirms that Riddle was responsible for the student's death, he begins an investigation into Riddle and soon learns that Riddle killed his own father. But after that, it took Dumbledore decades to find a Horcrux. This kind of work efficiency is really not comparable to ordinary procrastination.

Dumbledore coughed lightly, "It's not good to be old, when things don't come to the door, bask in the sun for a day, a day will pass, a year in the sun, a year will pass." ”

"Decades of sunbathing, decades have passed. George said sarcastically, Dumbledore was in his prime, far from very old.

"Yes, so old age, if you don't have something to do, you really can't. Dumbledore agreed, as if he hadn't heard George's sarcasm at all.

He continued, "From Morfin's memory, I'm just sure that Riddle killed everyone who was related to him. At the time, I just suspected that he had done a lot of bad things, but these weren't really important things. At that time, I didn't really have the idea that criminals had to be sent to prison. ”

"By that time Voldemort had graduated and left school. I wouldn't leave my nest to spy on a recent graduate, even if he killed all his relatives, so what does it matter to me?" Dumbledore said calmly.

"Well, to outsiders, we're all pretty ruthless. George smiled dumbly, such a real and indifferent Dumbledore is really terrifyingly realistic, and he really has a bit of a strong posture on top.

Now it seems that Dumbledore's attitude towards Voldemort at that time was more of that of a cunning old cat watching a mouse grow in the dark.

Dumbledore actually had a way to kill Voldemort, as well as a way to catch and stop Voldemort. But the inexplicable bystander mentality made him seem to project part of his feelings onto Voldemort.

There is no doubt that Dumbledore was ignoring Voldemort, and to some extent, even indulging Voldemort.

He didn't do what he should have done, he was the first to discover that Voldemort was on the evil path, and quietly watched Voldemort grow and develop step by step on the evil path.

He quietly observed Voldemort for decades, but did nothing. It wasn't until he was cornered and there was no way to retreat that he began to passively deal with Voldemort, and at this time, Voldemort was no longer losing to him.

As he himself said, he was never ignorant of the bad things Voldemort had done, nor was he unresponsible.

"Contact me this time, are you going to get that Horcrux?"

George had already guessed that Dumbledore's intention in inviting him this time was to get the Horcrux in his hands.

Dumbledore said calmly, "I considered acting alone, he wasn't very strong at the time, and I should be able to deal with his arrangement." But I'm afraid of scaring the snake, and if there's a magical message in his setup that he can know, I'll have to give it to him. ”
