Chapter Seventy-Four: Horcrux Positioning Spell

Pleasant holidays, always exceptionally short.

After Christmas, the young wizards had to return to Hogwarts Castle to continue their boring and tedious studies.

In just a few months, Lu Li has perfectly evolved from a rookie wizard to an old bird wizard.

In a way, in terms of the perception and use of spells, Lu Li was not inferior to Sirius Black, who was extremely talented.

Of course, when he was not busy with much to do, he would occasionally visit the Room of Requirement.

Watching Harry teach the D.A. Legion was also a good choice, and it made him feel like he was going back to his old school club.

Today, Hogwarts Castle resembles a sparkling lake.

But beneath the seemingly calm surface of the lake, there is actually an undercurrent.

Inside the castle, the obnoxious Umbridge is always looking for an opportunity to cause trouble for Dumbledore.

And she took advantage of her position in the Ministry of Magic to enact a series of unequal regulations, which gradually weakened Dumbledore's rights as headmaster.

Outside the castle, Voldemort's whereabouts became more secretive, and he became more cautious and vigilant after the disappearance of the basilisk Nagini.

There are seven of Voldemort's Horcruxes: Tom Riddle's diary, Marvolo Gaunt's ring, Slytherin's locket, Ravenclaw's crown, Hufflepuff's gold cup, Basilisk Nagini, and our savior, Harry Potter.

Tom's diary had been destroyed by Harry in an underground vault three years earlier, the basilisk Nagini had been captured by Lu Li not long ago, and the Slytherin locket and Ravenclaw's crown had all fallen into Dumbledore's hands.

The old headmaster, who had the Gryffindor sword in his hand, was nothing more than a matter of thought if he wanted to destroy them.

In other words, Voldemort's only remaining Horcruxes are the ring and the gold cup.

If Lu Li is not mistaken, it seems that Marvolo Gant's ring is hidden in the old mansion of the Gaunt family.

As for Hufflepuff's Gold Cup, it was hidden in the vault of Gringotts by Bellatrix Lestrange of the Death Eater.

For Harry and Dumbledore, it was originally a nightmare man-machine-level treasure hunt mission, but for Lu Li, it was simply an entry-level novice.

However, he had no intention of telling Dumbledore about the whereabouts of the two Horcruxes.

Everything can happen unexpectedly, and God knows if the original plot will cause any butterfly effect because of his appearance.

If Nagini's disappearance not long ago caused Voldemort to split his soul again and create an eighth Horcrux, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Therefore, Lu Li felt that the safest way was to create a new spell so that he could find all of Voldemort's hidden Horcruxes.

He named this new magic: the Horcrux Locating Charm.

This is a concept proposed by Lu Li at a meeting of the Order of the Phoenix, and this inspiration comes from the traces on Harry's body.

Underage wizards will have traces on them, and once they use magic outside of school, the Ministry of Magic will find out their location through the traces.

The Horcrux Positioning Spell is to use the Horcrux they already have, and then through the effect of the spell, locate and search for the carrier that has the same soul fragment as it.

To put it simply, it's about the GPS location of Horcruxes, and a spell with navigational effects.

This will be a one-and-done solution.

While this sounds easy, Dumbledore has been holding the Ravenclaw crown for quite some time, but there hasn't been much progress on this new type of spell.

It seems that it is necessary to find a senior professor who is proficient in black magic to discuss it together.

Dumbledore then remembered his old friend, Horace Slughorn.

Oh, the same old fool who was fooled by Tom Riddle's rhetoric and told him how to make Horcruxes.

Principal's Office.

Dumbledore frowned, his deep gaze staring through the crescent-shaped lenses, staring closely at the two Horcruxes on the table, and he finally made up his mind to seek Slughorn's help.

"How about accompanying me to meet an old friend tomorrow?" The old headmaster raised his head and suddenly proposed.

Looking at the young man who was tired of teasing the phoenix, Dumbledore really couldn't figure out why Fawkes was always hostile and wary every time he saw Lu Li.

Fawkes wasn't like that before, at least it was much friendlier to the others than Lu Lilai.

Could it be that there is something going on between them that they don't know about?

"I'm not interested, but you can go to Harry, he should be happy to help you." Lu Li didn't even look at it, and directly rejected Dumbledore's proposal.

Just kidding, and I want to pull him to be a free laborer, you better find Mr. Savior.

"Of course, I'll invite Harry along, but I think what Professor Slughorn needs more is a strong ally, especially when it comes to fighting Voldemort." Dumbledore still hadn't changed his mind.

"I'm sorry, but I'd like to visit the Forbidden Forest outside Hogwarts tomorrow." Lu Li said sincerely, as if he was saying a very trivial matter.

Merlin's beard!

Do you know what the Forbidden Forest is? That is the forest that represents the forbidden entry.

Dumbledore actually wanted to say this, but due to the young man's strength, he still didn't say it.

"How about a bottle of elixir?" Dumbledore pushed the crescent-shaped eyes on the bridge of his nose and asked tentatively.

"Deal." Lu Li turned around with a smile and readily agreed.

Practice is the only criterion for testing truth.

And it turns out that no one can escape the "true fragrance" theorem.

Elixir is an extremely peculiar magic potion, also known as a potion of luck.

As the name suggests, it brings good luck to the user.

The so-called "good luck" is actually mainly about the user's ability in all aspects.

For example, social skills, magic skills, reaction skills, etc., have all been greatly improved, so people will feel that everything is going well.

However, the process of dispensing the elixir is extremely complicated, and it takes half a year, and once one of the links is wrong, the consequences will be unimaginable.

There are only a handful of veteran potions masters in the wizarding world who can brew this potion.

Luckily, the old friend Dumbledore was visiting.

Although Dumbledore was only writing a blank check now, Lu Li didn't mind it.

Anyway, all he had to do was get his hands on a bottle of elixir, and he wasn't in the slightest interest in where Dumbledore got it.

"Well, that's it. The three of us will set off early tomorrow morning. Dumbledore happily made a decision for Harry, who was unaware.

Creating the Horcrux Locator Charm was the most motivating thing Dumbledore had been in the years.

Once you've collected all seven Horcruxes, you'll be able to make a wish......

Oh no, it's time to destroy the Dark Lord once and for all.

"By the way, Umbridge seems to be a bit of an anomaly lately, so you'd better be careful."

Before stepping out of the headmaster's office, Lu Li kindly reminded Dumbledore.
