There is a response!

Her brain, her chest...... Her entire torso was instantly filled with great joy, a surprise that was even more swift than when she received an offer of admission to Hogwarts, and even more intense than when she received a perfect honor in the Owls exam, which instantly swept through her whole body - this golden ball was probably indeed a Horcrux!

"Gildero?" asked Hermione, holding the golden ball cautiously. "Honey, can you hear me, when will you be resurrected? ”

There was no response, what was the Horcrux doing all this time?

The Horcrux contains half of Lockhart's soul, but this half of the soul cannot be allowed to come out directly to resurrect him, because then the Horcrux itself will be useless and lose the attribute of making people immortal.

The magic of splitting souls has long been born, but splitting a soul and copying a memory to it is only equivalent to one more life, which is not unusual. And the magic of the Horcrux lies in the fact that when the owner dies, it activates instantly, and begins to slowly absorb the soul power free in the air, and uses these powers to reconstruct a soul that is exactly the same as the soul stored in the Horcrux, from memory to personality to physical information...... Once the remodeling is complete, the new soul will be expelled from the Horcrux like a child, and will become a resurrection soul, and the Horcrux will still be in effect.

So, is the soul produced by the Horcrux and the complete memory of Lockhart at the moment when the Horcrux was made still Lockhart? Different onlookers will come up with different answers, but whether it is friend or foe, Hermione, or Voldemort, they will think of this soul as Gilderoy Lockhart.

"Am I dead?" a small voice came from the golden orb, and a piece of soul was driven out by the Horcrux, exposed to the perfect protection of the Horcrux, facing the cold world, the sound was produced by its shaking of the air......

"Well, you died, to save me. Hermione almost cried tears of joy, but after controlling her emotions, she carefully held the golden ball and asked, "What should I do?" How can you be fully resurrected?"

"How did I die?"

"Huh?" Hermione was a little strange, but when she thought about it, it was clear that this soul most likely only had memories of Lockhart's Horcrux making.

Oh, my God...... When did he make the Horcruxes, and if the marriage was still valid before the two were in a relationship, wouldn't it be necessary to re-cultivate the relationship?Hermione panicked, but then Lockhart told her where the memories she had were.

"I'm very weak now, I'm not as good as the most humble geist without my body, and a little magic can destroy me......" The soul shook the air slightly, "I'm not like a ghost that has been solidified. I'm a pure soul, don't let anyone find out about me......"

"Oh, okay!" Hermione asked eagerly, "what now?"

"I need to attach myself to something, and it's best to ...... a living thing" Voldemort survived by attaching himself to a female snake, Nagini, and as a result, he still had some snake characteristics after having a body. "Human at its best. ”

"Possess me!" Hermione said without hesitation, "Is there any special request?"

"No special requests...... But your soul is too healthy and pure, or to put it another way, too powerful for me. If I forcibly possess it, your soul will completely destroy me, like a pot of boiling water melts a small piece of ice......" The soul is so weak now that a few words will almost drain its power.

"What then?" Hermione froze. Do you want to catch some kind of critter?

"No, if you can endure the pain of being possessed and don't put up any resistance, it's still possible to succeed......" The soul said intermittently, "First you have to get rid of the Occlumency. Then relax the soul ......"

"Good...... You wait......" Hermione quickly lifted the occlusion technique, but what does it mean to relax the soul? She was sweating profusely, and she didn't know how to relax the soul.

"Don't be nervous. Try once and you'll understand, and if you fail, wait for my next resurrection. "But remember, don't tell anyone!"

It has been told, but no one believes it...... As soon as Hermione tried to admit her mistake, the soul burrowed into her body along her hand. A violent feeling of nausea came from the depths of the soul, a feeling of discomfort a hundred times worse than holding Voldemort's Horcrux, as if it came from the top and bottom of the body, but it was impossible to tell what part of the body, the flesh suddenly tensed, and the soul was about to subconsciously start to resist.

"Relax......" Hermione suddenly remembered this, and quickly relaxed her body, letting the discomfort sweep through her body, but how could her soul relax? she tried to keep herself from feeling the discomfort, and then the discomfort really faded away......

"Hermione, are you alright?" Fleur pushed the door in and asked with concern, "I hear you talking, what's wrong......

"Oh...... Nothing, I'm just a little uncomfortable. Hermione hastened to explain.

Hermione blushed and looked excited, which made Fleur even more worried, it couldn't be a mental disorder. "Hermione, we're sad too, but you should cheer up...... I just want you to live well. She sat down beside Hermione, "You won't be mad at what I just said, that's what I said, and sometimes I can't control myself, but I don't complain or hate the warriors who continue to rebel against the mysterious man...... If it makes you feel uncomfortable......"

"No, I'm fine, Fleur. Hermione pursed her lips.

"Oh, okay then, you rest first, I'll go down and get busy. Fleur's worries didn't ease at all, and she knew that most people with psychological problems wouldn't admit it.

――

Fleur gently closed the door and left the room.

"Gildero?" asked Hermione softly, not knowing if she could be heard, but her instincts told her that there was something more in her.

――

Lockhart's soul was attached to Hermione's body, and this attachment was certainly not without cost, if he had malicious intentions, he could have completely devoured her soul and occupy this body with Hermione's trust - of course he wouldn't do that, but it would still cause permanent minor trauma to Hermione's soul, and of course, this trauma would have no effect on people when they were not attacked by spirits.

Once in Hermione's body, Lockhart had three options for interacting with Hermione or the outside world: the soul could transmit ideas directly, control Hermione's body to speak, or generate another set of organs - just like Voldemort.

The first way is the most efficient, but after a long time of mutual communication, the two souls may merge together, and when the time comes, they will not be able to separate, and they will really become "soul mates" - in the end, the weak piece of Lockhart's soul may be devoured and disappear completely, and Hermione will get some of his memories, probably like Lockhart will get some memories of a Muggle in another world.

The second way requires the owner of the body to be completely defenseless against the other soul in the body, as long as there is even a trace of vigilance and resistance in the subconscious, the other soul cannot control the body, and even if it is barely controlled, it is easy to get out of control from time to time.

And Voldemort used the third method with Quirrell back then, because although Quirrell possessed him, he was not a loyal Death Eater, and at first he just wanted to get more benefits from the Dark Lord, but then after Voldemort established himself on him, he couldn't help him - Voldemort made a second face in the back of his head, through which he could see and hear...... Even Hermione Ken, Lockhart wouldn't be willing to use such disgusting tactics on her.

Because Hermione was unsuspecting of Lockhart, they could share control of a body, and Lockhart could control Hermione's body a little bit - of course, Hermione had more control over her body.

The two usually have to take turns talking to communicate with each other, and they can only use their souls to communicate at critical moments.

"Well, don't tell them about my resurrection, I'm afraid it'll cause them panic......" Hermione muttered to herself.

"Why, I don't think they will harm you, even if they won't help you back up......"

"I ......" Lockhart already has a resurrection plan in mind, and he doesn't need the help of others, or even let people know, otherwise it will be very troublesome and dangerous.

"Well, I won't say that. Hermione took back control, "But what's next?"

"There are many ways to resurrect, the best of which is the Philosopher's Stone, which perfectly reshapes the flesh - but there is a lot of loss of mana after resurrection. The best way now is to be like the mysterious man, first use the blood of a unicorn to resurrect it, and then use black magic to reshape the body......"

"Unicorn ......," Hermione asked, "are we going to the Forbidden Forest, or Cairngoms? And how do you know that the mysterious man was resurrected in this way, and how did he reshape his body?"

"There are too few unicorns in the Forbidden Forest, just a few...... And under the protection of the centaurs, if you go to the Forbidden Forest to harm the unicorns, you will be killed by the centaurs......" said Lockhart, "Are there unicorns in Cairngorms, are you sure? ”

"Well, unicorn, didn't you see - oh, I forgot, you don't have that memory. Hermione said, "Shall we go at once?"

"Let's prepare something before leaving, at least bring food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, as well as my bag, I doubt ...... It is likely that it cannot be apparitioned after resurrection. ”

"Why?" asked Hermione, curiously.

"You'll know when the time comes. Lockhart wasn't quite sure about the effects of unicorn blood, and all of his memories of Voldemort's resurrection came from another person's memories.

"Hmm...... Then I'll start preparing my things, I'm going to make a list first, and then I'll grab your things, and Harry's invisibility cloak......" Hermione suddenly became energetic and full of energy.
