Hogwarts: I'm a model wizard - Chapter 969

Horcrux…

Hearing Professor McGonagall say this, Kyle just thought about it for a moment and understood what she meant.

“Professor, are you worried that someone will become the second Voldemort?”

“That’s right.” Professor McGonagall nodded, “The temptation of eternal life is too great, and we cannot guarantee that the content of this hearing will not be leaked.

“If someone has a wrong idea because of this, the magic world will definitely be in chaos, and we are the culprits of all this.”

Professor McGonagall became more and more anxious as she spoke, her hands clenching into fists unconsciously, and the color gradually drained from her face.

It’s also her fault that she didn’t think carefully before. She only thought about how to help Snape get rid of his identity as a Death Eater, and actually ignored the temptation of Horcruxes to wizards.

Now she just hopes to find a way to reduce the impact of the Horcrux as much as possible.

But compared to Professor McGonagall, Kyle was much more relaxed.

“Actually, Horcruxes are not important…” he said as he walked, but when he turned around, he found that Professor McGonagall was missing.

She was standing motionless not far behind her with her head lowered.

There was no other way, so Kyle had no choice but to turn back.

“Professor McGonagall…Professor McGonagall?”

I don’t know what she was thinking, but Kyle shouted several times but there was no response.

He simply stopped shouting and ran to the Three Broomsticks nearby to buy a glass of butter beer and a small glass of violet water.

This is a drink with hazelnuts, vanilla and violet as the main ingredients, and is loved by Professor McGonagall.

When he came out, Professor McGonagall was still standing there, and it wasn’t until a few minutes later that she suddenly raised her head.

“Don’t be nervous, professor.” Kyle immediately handed over the glass of violet water, “Let’s drink something first. You said a lot during the hearing.”

“I…oh, thank you.” Professor McGonagall said. She subconsciously took it, but immediately gave it back to Kyle.

“It’s better to wait until I come back to drink. Now I need to go back again.”

“Bones may not be aware of this yet. I have to remind her quickly and come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible.”

With that said, he prepared to apparate back to the Ministry of Magic.

“Wait a minute, Professor.” Kyle quickly stepped forward and stopped her.

“You can go back to school first.” Professor McGonagall thought that Kyle also wanted to go with her, so he shook his head and said, “This is an oversight on my part. I can go alone.”

“No, actually I want to say that this matter may not be as important as you think.” Kyle said quickly.

“What are you talking about?” Professor McGonagall pursed her lips, “That is a Horcrux that can make wizards immortal!”

“I know, what I’m talking about is the Horcrux.” Kyle nodded, “The Horcrux is not important, what is important is the production method and process.”

“How to make…” Professor McGonagall was stunned for a moment.

“Yes.” Professor McGonagall finally calmed down, and Kyle explained: “To be honest, there are not many people who know about Horcruxes. This kind of black magic has been recorded in many books, including the school library. It’s there.

“The description of Horcrux in most books only has its name and function, but not the production process.”

“Wait a minute.” Professor McGonagall looked at Kyle, “Are you saying that not many people know how to make a Horcrux?”

“Of course, Professor.” Kyle smiled, “As far as I know, the only book that records Horcruxes is one…”Advanced Black Magic Revealed”.”

“What kind of book is this?” Professor McGonagall asked subconsciously, completely unimpressed.

“A book about black magic that was banned hundreds of years ago and is extremely rare.”

Kyle explained: “At present, in the entire magical world, there may only be ancient pure-blood wizard families like Black.”

“Then how did you know?”

“Dumbledore told me.” Kyle said calmly, “In addition, when Voldemort was still Tom Riddle, he also found this book from the school library and made that diary.

“Why, didn’t he tell you?” Kyle asked with a blink.

Professor McGonagall’s face darkened.

If Dumbledore had told her, she wouldn’t have asked what “Advanced Dark Arts Revealed” was just now.

But now she knew how Voldemort learned to make Horcruxes… from the school library.

It’s unbelievable.

“Where was it placed?” Professor McGonagall asked anxiously.

“Now, it should be in the principal’s office.” Kyle thought for a moment and said, “I don’t know the details. I only know that the content about the Horcrux has been torn off.”

Professor McGonagall relaxed slightly.

“Is it possible that others have read this book?”

“As I said just now, this book is very small.” Kyle shrugged. “First of all, it is definitely not available in bookstores. It can only be found in the private libraries of ancient pure-blood families like Black.”

After hearing this, Professor McGonagall was basically relieved.

There are not many ancient families like Black, and most importantly, they don’t know about this.

It is almost impossible to accurately find “Secrets of Advanced Black Magic” from a private library with at least hundreds of books.

“Oh, I almost forgot.”

Kyle suddenly thought of something again and continued: “Even the process recorded in “Advanced Black Magic Revealed” is not the whole process, and many key contents are missing.

“Tom Riddle finally asked Professor Slughorn and completed the production of the Horcrux.”

“Horace?”

“Yes, but he has been denying it.” Kyle said, “You won’t get an answer even if you ask.”

Professor McGonagall’s face kept changing, but Kyle didn’t care.

“That’s why I said it’s not a big deal. Maybe Minister Bones thinks so too.”

Kyle handed the violet water to Professor McGonagall again, “Even if the Horcrux is exposed, so what? Anyway, this kind of thing is basically translucent. Even in the school library, the books that record the Horcruxes are not in the forbidden area.

“As long as the method of making Horcruxes is not exposed, this matter can only be a casual talk after dinner.”

This time, Professor McGonagall took the violet water and took a big sip.

“You make sense, but why didn’t you tell me earlier.” Professor McGonagall glared at Kyle unhappily.

“Some things, you’d better not learn from that guy Dumbledore. “

It can be seen that Professor McGonagall was very unhappy that Dumbledore kept everything from her.

“I told you.” Kyle spread his hands, “but you ignored me just now. “

Professor McGonagall’s expression froze. She vaguely remembered that Kyle did want to say something to her just now, but at that time her mind was full of the consequences of the exposure of the Horcrux, and she didn’t care at all.

It seems that it is indeed her fault…

No, that’s not right. It should be Dumbledore’s fault.

If Dumbledore could tell her about the Horcruxes in advance, she wouldn’t know anything.

Thinking of this, Professor McGonagall subconsciously quickened her pace.

She decided to go back to the headmaster’s office and find Dumbledore’s portrait to ask why he could be so patient and not tell her anything.

Kyle could only speed up and follow her. The two walked into the gate of Hogwarts.

Just at this time, Slughorn also came from the opposite side.

“Minerva, Kyle, I’m so glad to see you here…”

He seemed to be in a good mood and waved to them from a distance, “I sincerely invite you to my dinner party. This is a formal banquet. Many people have decided to come. I think they will be very happy to see the headmaster and the best graduates at the banquet. “

Slughorn winked at Kyle.

In fact, the person he wanted to invite the most was actually Kyle. Of course, it would be nice if Minerva could come.

“Next time, Horace.” Professor McGonagall glanced at him, “We just came back from the Ministry of Magic, and we have other things to do later… Oh, the same goes for Kyle.”

“What a pity…” Slughorn was a little disappointed, “I hope those children will never know what they missed. “

Kyle didn’t answer.

He was used to it. Every time he refused Slughorn’s invitation to the dinner party, he would do this.

It felt like he was a beacon, and he could guide others when he went to the dinner party.

After a few more words, Slughorn left.

This time he was going to Hogsmeade to buy drinks for the dinner party.

Although the school kitchen could provide snacks such as biscuits and cakes, it did not provide any alcoholic beverages.

But this kind of thing is a must for the dinner party.

So he would go to the Three Broomsticks in advance to buy butter beer and his favorite mead, and this time was the same.

Professor McGonagall looked at Slughorn’s chubby back, and her originally relaxed brows frowned again.

“Do you think there are other people who know how to make Horcruxes like Horace?” She murmured.

“It shouldn’t be.” Kyle thought for a while and said.

“Wizards are very old, and there are many old wizards from the last century or even the last century among them.

“If this spreads, someone will definitely find them…”

“It’s okay.” Kyle whispered. He felt that Professor McGonagall was a little too nervous.

Making Horcruxes is not like growing potatoes or some life skills. As long as you are old, you can do it.

Besides, even if someone really knows, they can’t just tell others casually.

Slughorn knew this. Tom Riddle, as his favorite student, had to coax and deceive him to get some useful information from him.

But Professor McGonagall didn’t seem to think so. I don’t know if it was because of the change in her identity that she became more…well, more rigorous than before.

“This matter still needs Dumbledore to solve.” Professor McGonagall said, and she seemed to have made up her mind.

“Professor Dumbledore?” Kyle’s voice rose slightly.

“It’s the portrait he left in the headmaster’s office.” Professor McGonagall continued: “His portrait needs to go around and visit those old wizards who know about it. He must know who they are.”

“Okay.” Kyle said. Seeing that Professor McGonagall had made a decision, he didn’t say anything else.

Anyway, the principals were idle anyway, so it would be nice to give them something to do.

And…

Kyle suddenly had a good idea.

While Professor McGonagall was in the library, he went to the eighth floor first.

“Ball of string!”

Kyle said the command he had just asked, and the gargoyle immediately jumped aside.

He walked into the principal’s office along the spiral staircase at the back with ease.

It’s still the same here, and the portraits on the wall are still pretending to sleep with their eyes closed.

“It’s you, Kyle.” Dumbledore was the first to notice him, “How was the hearing? Severus should be fine.”

“Everything went well.” Kyle said, then shook his head, “No, maybe there was a little incident.”

His words were like a signal, and the principals in the portrait opened their eyes one after another and looked over curiously.

“That’s right. Snape’s memory was shown at the hearing, and the part about the Horcrux was included in it…”

He briefly repeated Professor McGonagall’s concerns.

“Minerva is very thoughtful.” Dumbledore nodded. “It is true that few people can withstand the temptation of eternal life. This is why I have never announced why Tom can make a comeback.”

“But I think what Kyle said is right.” Armando Dippet shook his head, “Horcruxes are not like growing potatoes, and they are not that easy to learn.”

“But always keep an eye on it.” Another headmaster sided with Dumbledore.

“There are no eternal secrets in the magic world. If you put your mind to it, you can always find some clues.”

“You’re just guessing.”

“Then do you dare to say that it won’t happen?”

…

The principals each had their own opinions, and soon they became quarrelsome, and some of the hot-tempered ones were about to take action.

For example, Armando held a mace and chased Phineas around, who was against him.

“So, Minerva wants me to convince those who know the truth?” Dumbledore looked at Kyle and asked.

“That’s right,” Kyle said, “but I have another idea.”

He took out a shorthand quill and wrote something quickly on a piece of parchment.

“Oh?” Dumbledore immediately became interested.

In his memory, Kyle’s ideas had always been special and effective…such as helping Sirius clear his grievances and getting Fudge to change his attitude towards Voldemort.

Not only was he curious, but Armando and Phineas also ran back and looked at Kyle together.

Soon the parchment was full.

Kyle picked it up and showed it to the principals.

“This is what I have summarized, how to make a Horcrux.”

“What, you can also make Horcruxes!” A principal immediately exclaimed.

But someone soon discovered something was wrong.

“Wait, what is this!”

Armando narrowed his eyes, “Using the Cruciatus Curse to split one’s soul is nonsense!”

“And this.” Phineas almost pressed his face against the frame, “If the soul fragment cannot leave the body on its own initiative, you can try to use the Soul Imperius Curse on yourself… Merlin’s beard, isn’t this looking for death? “

“You wrote it wrong, this is not the way to make a Horcrux at all!”

“Wrong writing? Of course not.” Kyle narrowed his eyes and smiled: “This is how to make a Horcrux.”
