Hermione ran from the campus with Harry, panting, "We're here, Harry was still sleeping just now!" Hermione grumbled dissatisfiedly, "Ron is still sleeping!"

"Holidays, understandable. Let's go, Harry. Dumbledore patted Harry on the shoulder and led the group towards the Forbidden Forest. Hermione hurried to Lockhart's side, clutching his arm like Tonks and Lupin, and walking side by side behind Dumbledore.

"What are we going to do, Professor Dumbledore?" Harry was undressed and sleepy-eyed.

"Destroy the Horcrux we got last month, Harry. ”

――

"No amount of spell can leave a single damage on its surface. Once in the clearing, Dumbledore said helplessly, "So, Harry, try to use your Parseltongue to open it." ”

"Okay, here......" Harry asked, "is that the trace you left behind when you destroyed another Horcrux?"

"Yes, you can see that Horcruxes are not easy to deal with. Dumbledore said casually, and he placed the locket gently in the woods clearing that had been burned after the last time he destroyed the diary. Because it was burned by black magic, after so long, there was still no grass here, only a thick layer of snow covered, and the snow was still scorched black underneath.

"Oh my God, would it make such a big move to destroy that locket later, Gildero?" Hermione nervously grabbed Lockhart's hand.

"I don't think so, if you destroy this locket with brute force, it won't be enough to burn the entire Forbidden Forest. Lockhart glanced at Professor McGonagall, frowning as Hermione grabbed Lockhart's hand, but didn't do anything.

Lockhart breathed a sigh of relief, squeezing Hermione's cold and tender hand with ease, it seemed that Professor McGonagall was not as nosy as he thought.

After Dumbledore finished placing the locket, he withdrew a few meters: "Harry, I'll count to three later, you can use the Parseltongue to open the locket, and then we all attack with the Fire Charm!"

"Good. "Everyone agreed.

"Hermione, stay away. Lockhart grabbed Hermione's small hand and pulled her behind him, pulling out his wand with his other hand.

"One...... Two...... Three...... Harry!" Dumbledore shouted as he pointed his wand at the Horcrux.

Harry hurriedly shouted loudly into the locket in a parseltongue voice, "Open!"

The small gold lid of the locket popped open, and a living eye blinked behind each of the two small glass windows, black and bright, like Tom Riddle's eyeballs before they turned red and his pupils turned into a line.

Then a violent black mist erupted, blowing all the snow around the locket, and Harry, who was closest to him, was immediately blown to the ground, and everyone used their arms to shield their eyes from being blown into their eyes.

The black mist swirled in the air, condensing into one piece.

"I see your fear...... Harry Potter ...... I see your heart, and it belongs to me now!" A hoarse voice came out of the black mist, "You are afraid of losing your loved ones, you are afraid of losing your friendship, your heart is fragile and sensitive!"

"Harry, stay away from that!" Dumbledore shouted.

"Your stupid father picks secrets willfully, and doesn't even know how to take up his wand against the Dark Lord...... Your mother gave her life to save you......" The voice continued to bewitch Harry, "Your existence can only bring danger and death to those around you!"

Harry fell to the ground stunned, watching the black mist transform into his parents and arguing with each other.

"Why don't you let Dumbledore be a secretie, you idiot!" Harry's mother yelled at Harry's father.

"I don't believe him! he's a conspirator, a big liar, and I trust my friend even more!" Jaime snapped.

With a hard swing of his wand, Snape pulled Harry to his feet, then grabbed Harry by the collar and pulled him to his feet, pushing him behind him. "Your mother is right, your father is an idiot!"

"Devil's Flame!" Seeing that Harry was far away from there, everyone began to attack the black mist. Near-white flames erupted from his wand into the air towards Harry's parents. The raging flames ravaged the wretched land once more, transforming into the form of birds and beasts, entangled in the black mist.

"I see your dreams too, Harry Potter, the girl you think is the prettiest girl you like, but it's your professor......" Black Mist conjured up Lockhart's image.

"What, Ginny likes you?" Hermione startled.

But then it was Zhang Qiu who walked out of the black fog, and she approached Lockhart, hugged him, and kissed him. Both of them are more beautiful and handsome than they are in reality.

"What, Harry's favorite thing is Zhang Qiu?" Hermione was also confused at this point, but she couldn't accept the image of Lockhart kissing someone else, "Attack the body of that locket!" Hermione shouted at Dumbledore and the others.

"That's right, attack the locket, don't look at the black mist!" Dumbledore reacted and aimed his wand at the locket.

"Forever bring bad luck, never get true love...... Harry Potter ...... "The Black Mist continued to speak, but by this time several demonic flames had already burned into the locket.

"Ahh

Everyone looked at each other, but they still subconsciously extinguished the fire.

"What's the matter, is it ruined?" asked McGonagall cautiously.

"No, it seems. Snape pursed his lips, "It can't be that easy." ”

Dumbledore also picked up the locket at this time, a little hot, but it didn't seem to be because it was roasted by fire, but more like a way of self-defense. "It's clear that it hasn't been destroyed by us. ”

"So what should I do," Tonks leaned over to look at the locket, "go on?"

"Harry, try again!" Moody commanded loudly, snatching the Horcrux from Dumbledore's hand and throwing it out.

After Harry said "open" Parseltongue again, something surprised everyone to happen, the locket did not open as it had last time.

"What's going on?" Dumbledore was also a little nervous, trying to find a way to open it, only to miss the opportunity?

"Maybe it's just injured and cowering inside. Hermione guessed, "Maybe it will open in a moment, and the key to destroying it may be to be fast and destroy it before it retracts." ”

Hermione had a point. Dumbledore nodded, "So, how can you instantly destroy the soul inside?"

Lockhart suddenly remembered the soul talisman - the last time he had put it away because it had been said to be in direct contact with the soul to work, he pulled it out of his pocket again.

"Perhaps, we can try this?" Lockhart handed the talisman to Dumbledore, "Wait a minute, when Harry opens the Horcrux again, activate it with magic power, and then cover the Horcrux, maybe you can ......"

"Ah, yes, I almost forgot about it. Dumbledore took the talisman from Lockhart's hand, "Then let's rest for a while, let Voldemort's soul recover, and then figure out how to deal with it." ”

"Little Gildero, where did you get this?" Moody also leaned over to Dumbledore's side and touched the soul charm, "China?"

"You guessed it. ”
