Chapter 978: Improvements to Horcruxes

In the evening, Kyle left the Black family's private library, leaving behind Sirius, who was dazed and hesitant to speak.

For the whole afternoon, Sirius's expression was always tangled, especially when Kyle was flipping through those dark magic books.

These books were collected by the Black family for hundreds of years, and many of them were banned by the Ministry of Magic.

How to say it, even if you just look at the cover of these books, it is enough to be thrown into Azkaban for two days.

Sirius never found the time to deal with them, but he didn't expect that Kyle took them all away.

Before Kyle stepped out of the door of the house, he hesitated countless times whether to take those books back.

Sirius didn't doubt whether Kyle could make a Horcrux, because a few years ago, Kyle made a similar request and took away the book "Advanced Dark Magic Revealed" from here.

To be honest, if Kyle couldn't make a Horcrux, he would feel strange, but he was also afraid that Kyle really made a Horcrux.

Before this, Sirius always thought that Kyle was joking when he said he wanted to make a Horcrux. After all, Dumbledore was still alive when he first came to find "Advanced Dark Magic Revealed".

But now it seems that this is not a joke.

But for some reason, whenever the words came to his lips, Sirius could not say them.

Maybe... Kyle was just joking.

He comforted himself in his heart.

"Hey, Kyle." When passing through the hallway, Fred turned over and jumped down the stairs.

"We have been looking for you. Where did you and Sirius go just now?"

"The private library of the Black family." Kyle showed the book in his hand.

"You are worthy of being a professor of Hogwarts. You still insist on reading books during the holidays." George said in a long tone, "Are you really not Percy pretending to be a polyjuice potion?"

"I think Percy should not read this kind of book." Kyle picked up the top book and shook it at them.

The title of the book was written in exaggerated cursive on the cover.

"Putting Souls into the Crucible"

The cover is very old, but the dark red cursive characters have not faded at all, and there is no dust at all. It seems that something is constantly moving on each word, strangely attracting everyone's attention.

George was the closest. When he saw the book, he suddenly felt a little cold and shivered subconsciously.

It was summer, but he felt cold————

"What is this!"

"I guess it should be a banned book." Harry said.

At this time, he seemed to no longer be entangled in Snape's affairs, and walked down from upstairs with the two of them.

It was just that he seemed to have hit his leg and walked with a limp.

"I have seen this kind of special book in the banned book section of the school library before." Harry said seriously: "In addition to the covers that move, there are also those that are entangled with chains, which look very dangerous at first glance.

"Some books even make a piercing scream like a mandrake when they are opened. "

"But this is not the banned book section of the library. "Fred muttered, looking up at Kyle.

"Ah, I wanted to try to make a Horcrux, so I found some reference books."

"What?"

"You want to make a Horcrux?"

"You want to make a Horcrux!"

Like Sirius, everyone in the room showed an expression of shock and disbelief when they heard Kyle say this.

But the difference is that after the shock, Harry's face was panic and fear, while Fred and George were excited and excited.

"We'll help too!"

"When will you start, please tell us!"

Like two meteors, the two of them came to Kyle in the blink of an eye, and even their words became much more polite.

"This---let's talk about it later." Kyle waved his hand vaguely, "Didn't you just say that you've been looking for me for an afternoon? What's the hurry?"

"Nothing, it doesn't matter." George still stared at Kyle, his eyes didn't move at all.

"This is not a good thing. "Kyle subconsciously took a small step back.

"So what? We're not going to do good things yet." The two stepped forward and dragged Kyle out of the house.

It was not until the door opened and closed that Harry suddenly came back to his senses from the shock and instinctively wanted to chase him out.

"Wait..." Sirius stretched out his hand to stop him.

"Horcrux————Sirius————." Harry said anxiously: "Dumbledore said that it was the most terrible dark magic, and Kyle must not be allowed to——."

"Don't worry, Harry——————-Don't worry, Kyle is different from Voldemort." Sirius said, holding his arm tightly with one hand.

And Harry gradually calmed down after hearing what Sirius said, and turned to look at him.

"Do you know something?"

"Oh, I remember that you have been together all this time."

"He didn't tell me anything. "Sirius shrugged, "In fact, ever since I took him to the basement, my mood has been exactly the same as yours just now."

"Then why did you stop me just now--.-

"Because of Fred and George." Sirius said softly: "If you still remember what they just said, you will find that Kyle has never doubted Kyle from the beginning to the end, and from the beginning he did not believe that he made Horcruxes and his purpose. Like Voldemort."

Harry blinked and briefly recalled Fred and George's reactions just now.

Indeed, they were not panicked, but excited. They seemed to think that making Horcruxes was a very interesting thing, rather than studying some terrible black magic.

"That reminds me of Remus."

Sirius suddenly laughed, "Everyone has an instinctive fear and wariness of werewolves, but after we saw Remus's werewolf appearance for the first time, none of us backed down.

"I didn't, and neither did your father, nor did your mother after she found out about it. She even started teaching herself Wolfsbane Potion the next day and complained that Remus didn't tell her earlier."

Harry nodded in understanding, "You mean, we should trust Kyle like Fred and George?"

"Almost." Sirius waved his hand and poured himself a glass of whiskey.

"What I really mean is, we know Remus, and we know he wouldn't hurt us even as a werewolf.

"Just like the Weasley brothers know Kyle and know that he will not be the next Voldemort."

"Of course, your understanding is correct." He sat on the chair, raised his head and took a sip of whiskey, muttering to himself: "I should be ashamed of my doubts."

Harry also felt a little ashamed.

He couldn't help but think to himself, if Kyle had been replaced by Hermione or Ron, would he still be as nervous and scared as before?

Then Harry was surprised to find that the answer was no,

After so much together, he trusted Hermione and Ron almost as much as he trusted himself.

He believed that Hermione would not do this, and he also believed that Ron could not make a Horcrux.

After all, reading banned books also requires a knowledge base, and the requirements are higher than ordinary books. For example, only Hermione could understand the "Powerful Potion" that was secretly obtained from the banned book section of the school.

Neither he nor Ron could handle the material well.

And the forbidden book that records the Horcrux must be more profound.

Harry shook his head.

Although he understood the truth, when he thought of the memories Dumbledore showed him before, he still couldn't convince himself as quickly as Sirius.

He could only try not to think about it.

Sirius also noticed his current situation and took the initiative to say, "I remember that Snape, the snot-nosed guy, sent a photo album. Have you read it?"

"Not yet." Harry came to his senses and took out a well-kept photo album from his pocket.

The photo album is not thick, only about an inch. The cover is green, and the color is very similar to his eyes.

oh!

Harry frowned, why did he suddenly think of this.

"You didn't see it?" Sirius was a little surprised, "You should know, there may be a photo of your mother in it."

"I--know." Harry looked a little strange.

Snape sent a picture of her mother...I always felt like something was wrong.

"I'm worried that he has some purpose." Harry whispered: "Maybe he added some strange potion to the photo album. When I was in school, Snape said more than once that he wanted to pour some pumpkin juice into me. A little truth serum.”

"Don't worry, it's impossible for Dumbledore to agree." Sirius smiled, "But I don't think you need to have such worries now.

"Although I don't like that snot-nosed guy, I think what he said is true, and there's no need to do anything to the photo album."

"Open it, it's okay."

With Sirius's encouragement, Harry took a deep breath and carefully opened the photo album in his hand.

Nothing happened.

Harry saw a very young witch, probably in first grade, with red hair blowing in the wind and a pair of beautiful green eyes.

"This is what your mother was like when she was a child." Sirius said from the side: "But she seemed to hate James quite a bit at that time."

The corner of Harry's mouth curled up unconsciously -

At the same time, after Kyle was dragged out of No. 12 Grimmauld Place by Fred and George, he was taken back to the attic of his house in the village of St. Catchpole.

This is their secret base - specializing in the research of less formal gadgets.

Including Kyle's research on Horcruxes in the past few days, he also did it here.

“Just take us with you, Kyle—

"We will definitely keep it a secret——·

The attic door was pushed open, and Fred and George walked in from the outside at the same time. When they turned their heads, they were stunned again.

There was another person in the attic who looked exactly like them.

It was missing an ear and looked exactly like Fred, but it also had some of George's subtle features, as if it was a combination of the two of them.

But this man was dead and lying motionless on the ground.

"Funny!"

When the two were stunned, Kyle's voice came from behind.

The "Fred" or "George" on the ground instantly expanded and turned into a gnome wearing a wig.

"Boggart, I found it in the cabinet in the attic." Kyle walked in, put the Boggart into a bottle with his wand and shook it.

The goblin turned into an indescribable mass again, like an ugly-colored memory.

"What did we just see?"

"Nature is what you fear most, you are all afraid of the other being killed." Kyle said.

"Is that so?" George pursed his lips. "But, I didn't seem very scared just now."

"That's right." Fred also nodded, "I'm more surprised."

"That's because you both raised your heads at the same time." Kyle explained: "The Boggart doesn't know who to take the lead.

It just combines the things you fear.

"So you all saw your own characteristics in it, and your original fear turned into surprise."

"Okay, you're right." George nodded pretendingly.

Kyle ignored him and continued to stare at the Boggart in the bottle.

The two came together again.

"Kyle, just take us to make Horcruxes together. We promise not to talk nonsense."

"Yes, we swear by Cedric's character."

"His character has been used up long ago!" Kyle said without looking back.

Although Horcruxes are black magic, they are also a type of alchemy—well, unrecognized alchemy.

After all, Nicolas Flamel had eliminated Horcruxes from alchemy a long time ago, and no one has objected to it so far.

But even so, it doesn't change the fact that it is essentially alchemy, so it's not surprising that Fred and George are interested.

"It's not that I won't lead you, and I'm not afraid of you talking nonsense." Kyle turned his head, "But I have been studying Horcruxes since I was in second grade. Although it was intermittent in the middle, I never stopped. Are you sure you want to study.?"

Fred and George stopped talking.

"Horcruxes - are they so complicated?" Fred whispered.

"What do you think?" Kyle said angrily, "Do you think this is dividing the cake? Use a knife to cut everything and then put it on another plate casually?"

"I-" George wanted to say something, but couldn't.

Because they really thought so. Although it was not so simple and crude, they never thought it would take too long.

"But I heard you say that Voldemort learned it very quickly as a child."

"It's different." Kyle said, "His goal is his own soul. He just needs to follow the correct steps. It will naturally be very fast, but I made some small improvements to the Horcrux."

"What improvement?"

Kyle didn't explain, but opened the bottle in his hand.

The Boggart emerged from inside, looked at Kyle, and then naturally transformed into a dementor.

"Avada Kedavra!" A blue light shot out from Kyle's wand.

Fred and George rubbed their eyes at the same time, thinking they were dazzled.

Wait·——.—Kalevita, the blue one?

Did they hear the wrong spell?

But this is not over yet, there is something even more surprising.

The 'dementor', after being hit by the killing curse, strangely turned into two, instead of splitting in the middle,

Instead, they turned into two smaller but identical "dementors".

Kyle tried to move one of them, but as soon as he moved his wand, the dementor exploded, and both exploded, re-morphing into boggarts like deflated rubber balls.

"As you can see, I am going to help others make Horcruxes." Kyle said.
