Chapter 65: Fifty ways to process (cook) Horcruxes
After the basilisk is taken care of, of course the diary must also be taken care of. This is much easier to deal with than the basilisk.
First, put a shield on Ginny, and then ask her to hand over the diary when she is awake. Ginny, who has been controlled, obviously knows that the diary is not a good thing, so she hands over the diary without hesitation. Gave it to Adam.
"Can you keep this diary a secret for me?"
Ginny's face was a little pale, it was because she was scared, maybe it was because the diary had absorbed some of her vitality:
"I don't want my brothers to worry, and besides, Mrs. Norris..."
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
Adam had already established a reliable big brother image to Ginny through George and Fred. When he heard this, he showed a smile that fit everyone's imagined Hufflepuff characteristics, and at the same time handed out a honey-flavored candy:
"But I still recommend that you go see Madam Pomfrey. Just say that you have been too scared to sleep by the legend of the Chamber of Secrets recently."
"Thanks, I'll be there."
Ginny took the candy and breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Adam:
"...What will you do with this diary?"
"Of course I want to destroy it, but this thing doesn't seem to be destroyable by conventional means. I want to experiment."
"That's good...you must be careful not to be controlled."
Ginny warned her a few more times before leaving, but since Adam could help her resist the control of the diary, there would be no problems, so she felt relieved when she left.
"Well, let me see...how resistant are the legendary Horcruxes?"
Adam looked at the diary in his hand and showed a curious expression.
Unlike Harry and the others who used the basilisk venom back and forth, Adam had plenty of strength and means.
Arriving at the familiar Room of Requirement again, Adam put the diary on the table and prepared a notebook next to it. The shorthand quill was now standing on the notebook, ready to move.
"Swish, swish, swish—"
As Adam's thoughts moved, the title of the experimental record was already written on his notebook:
The testing of various characteristics of the Horcrux began, with the first experiment - physical resistance.
To a certain extent, inanimate Horcruxes can exhibit the characteristic of being unable to be destroyed by physical means, but in that case the physical damage received is not great, so Adam is not sure whether Horcruxes are truly immune to physical damage. Still a little interested.
Adam summoned the power card and looked at the diary eagerly.
In the following period, Voldemort's Horcruxes were spent in Adam's inhumane magic experiments. The diary became thinner and thinner day by day, but the notebook recording the experimental process became thicker and thicker because Adam frantically added diagrams of the experimental results. .
Experiments have proven that most of the Clow cards are effective against Horcruxes, and some are even more effective than others, such as the Ghan card - although it takes a little more magic than transforming ordinary items, a page of the diary was indeed transformed into a cloud cake. , together with the soul power above.
In the end, Adam still didn't make up his mind to eat the piece of cloud cake and fed it to the basilisk. The results showed that the basilisk seemed to accept all kinds of human food well.
During the experiment, writings appeared on the fragments of Voldemort's soul in the Horcrux more than once. From begging to threatening, and then from threatening to begging, Adam ignored them all.
Until recently, perhaps because I gave up the struggle, perhaps because I lacked strength, in short, no words appeared in the diary.
This made Adam a little disappointed. The unresponsiveness of the tortured object greatly reduced his emotional feedback - ahem, of course, his main purpose was to conduct a serious exploration of magic and increase his knowledge of magic... Hmm , that’s right.
The experiments on Horcruxes did increase Adam's magic power a lot, and also provided Adam with the opportunity to use most of the Clow cards for one round.
Seeing that there were only four pieces of paper left inside besides the cover, and the soul power on them was so thin that it was almost indistinguishable from the Horcruxes, Adam felt a rare sense of shame in his heart.
There are actually four cards left that have not been used. It is such a waste. I quickly thought about whether there are any other experimental projects.
However, before Adam could come up with new methods, the Quidditch match of this school year began.
At eleven o'clock at noon, Adam and his roommates went to the Quidditch pitch together.
"Adam, why have you been so elusive lately? You can't find anyone for a few hours every week - are you in love?"
On the way, Uther looked at Adam, who had arrived late and was stuck in the spot to join everyone, and joked.
"I have no idea of falling in love yet..."
Adam shrugged. Most of his attention was now attracted by the beauty of magic. The social interactions with his family, roommates, and professors had already taken up the rest of his attention. It was difficult to leave a space for him.
They did not continue with the topic of love. It was just a joke. After meeting more students, everyone started discussing today's competition.
"It's Gryffindor vs. Slytherin again. Last year, Harry Potter was absent from the final battle and Gryffindor lost to Slytherin. This year, their captain seems to be holding his breath."
The relationship between Cedric and Oliver is pretty good, or in other words, his relationship with most of the classmates in the school who can make friends normally is above the good baseline. Obviously, there is a lot of first-hand information:
"It's just that Malfoy joined Slytherin this year. Old Malfoy spent a huge sum of money to equip each team member with a Nimbus 2001... The outcome is still unknown."
"One Nimbus 2001 for each person... So rich!"
Ernie sighed with a sour feeling, and couldn't help but take a sip of honey water.
Adam's food can heal people's hearts...
Adam, who can earn a Quidditch team a year with his food that heals people's hearts, was lost in thought as he looked at the two teams that were ready on the field.
As we all know, Harry almost always encounters problems in his Quidditch matches every year. What was the problem this year...
When Harry was once again chased by the Bludgers, and the classmates around him began to angrily denounce Slytherin for repeating the same old tricks, Adam clapped his hands:
"I remember it!"
"What did you remember?"
Eugene, who did not join in the denunciation of Slytherin, turned to look at Adam.
"Uh... I remembered something I forgot before..."
Adam rubbed his face.
How could he forget the house-elf of the Malfoy family... What was the name of the house-elf that was later free and then sacrificed?
Gollum? Yoda? Oh... it seems to be Dobby!
Now the basilisk has a good life of three full meals a day, occasional snacks, and a bath once a week. The Horcrux diary is still alive, but Dobby doesn't know it yet. It still thinks that old Malfoy wants to harm Harry Potter.
It was also the one who made Harry drive the flying car to school at the beginning of the school year. It blocked the magic of platform nine and three-quarters and made Harry miss the departure time.
Eh? Thinking about it this way, it seems that the magic of house elves is also worth studying...
Adam forgot what he was thinking just now under the inertia of long-term magic research, and began to think about academic problems.
In the air in front of him, the kind Dobby was trying to knock Harry off the flying broomstick 500 feet high with a high-speed flying quaffle for his safety.
