Chapter 140 Horcruxes with many side effects

"Bajir, that interesting dream you mentioned is his, right?" Dumbledore said in an extremely relaxed tone, as if he had unloaded a heavy burden.

Tom's Horcrux got another one, so easily.

He seemed to see Tom's bald head on his desk next year.

"Him? This locket is alive?" Sirius, who was most concerned about the locket at the moment, was the first to discover something wrong with Dumbledore's words.

Dumbledore was silent, and Flamel chuckled, "Isn't it a Horcrux?"

"What's there to hide? Your sister is right, you are indeed a riddle man."

Lupin pricked up his ears, sister? He had never heard that Dumbledore had a sister, a love sister?

"Horcrux?" Sirius repeated. A smile began to appear on his face.

Horcruxes are items made by dark wizards to store soul fragments in order to make themselves immortal.

It refers to an object that contains part of a person's soul.

That is to say, split your soul and hide part of it in an object outside the body.

In this way, even if the body is attacked or destroyed, it will not die, because there is still a part of the soul left in the world, undamaged.

"So," the smile on Sirius's face became even crazier, "this is the secret that keeps the bastard alive!"

Bageer looked at Sirius with sympathy. In the past few centuries, there has never been a record of having multiple Horcruxes at the same time, and no one has ever thought that this is feasible. So, Sirius seemed to think that this locket was Voldemort's only Horcrux.

"Great! Great! Your sacrifice is not worthless." Sirius was happy.

The next second, he cursed again, "Damn, you stupid idiot! You won't even tell the teacher! Why don't you go to Dumbledore?"

If he had told the teacher earlier.

Voldemort would have died completely after attacking James' family.

Regulus could be like Snotlout, no, even better than Snotlout, and become a great hero in the wizarding world.

Most importantly, Regulus will be alive.

They will reconcile and live together in this big house.

Thinking of this, he looked at the locket with a more ferocious look.

He looked at Dumbledore impatiently, "Can we destroy it now? If it is a Horcrux, as long as we destroy it, Voldemort who is still wandering outside will be killed instantly."

Kreacher also raised his wrinkled face expectantly.

Dumbledore shook his head, "Tom, that is, Voldemort, he did not make only one Horcrux."

"In fact, we discovered a horrible fact last year. Tom doesn't seem to care about the loss of one or two Horcruxes."

"The diary destroyed by Basil - another Horcrux (Sirius and Lupin looked at Basil in surprise), it was casually handed over to the Malfoy family for safekeeping, and it was not told how precious it was."

"Lucius Malfoy, that bastard, sent the Horcrux to school?" Sirius was shocked, "He's crazy! Draco is also studying at Hogwarts! It seems that his death is not unjust. But Basil, you destroyed it, Lucius the bastard won't-"

Basil shrugged, "Yes, he tried to kill me. In fact, before school started, he tried to murder me-sent Fenril."

Lupin's hands clenched spasmodically, "It's him? Are you okay! I mean you weren't bitten by him!"

Sirius added: "Don't get me wrong, Lupin was attacked by Fenril Greyback. He just felt the same way."

Lupin shook his head, "You don't have to hide it. I'm a werewolf."

"My father offended him. I didn't know who the werewolf who attacked me was for a long time."

"I I even felt pity for him, thinking he couldn't control himself. I already knew what it felt like to be a wolf."

"But Greyback was not like that. He approached his prey during the full moon to ensure the success of the attack."

"He was completely premeditated. He was the one Voldemort used to recruit werewolves."

"Greyback insisted that we werewolves should drink blood and take revenge on normal people. Fortunately, he is dead."

"Wait, it can't be that... Just like that diary, Fenniel is also..."

Bajir was very surprised, "Didn't you read the newspaper? I was also on the headlines as the one who killed Fenniel. "

"Although my name was not mentioned, combined with what happened just now--"

Sirius: "I was too busy after I was released from prison."

Lupin said calmly and bitterly: "As a werewolf, it is difficult for me to find a job in the magical world. In fact, I have been away from the magical world for a long time. Of course, I have not completely cut off communication."

"But I only know that Fenniel is dead. Then I celebrated a little-bought a cream cake in the cake shop."

"I'm sorry," he suddenly looked at Dumbledore, "I'm afraid I can't accept your invitation."

Sirius wanted to speak, but was stopped by Lupin with his eyes.

"This child has been attacked by werewolves. I can't force him to accept a werewolf professor. It's too cruel."

"For a long time after graduation, as a werewolf, I was deeply afraid of the werewolf group."

"I know most of them are victims like me, but I'm just afraid."

Dumbledore said gently: "Why do you think a boy who single-handedly destroyed Voldemort's Horcruxes would be afraid of werewolves?"

Bajir shrugged, "As long as you take the wolfsbane potion on time, I don't care about anything else."

Dumbledore: "This is Severus' job. He is a potion expert."

Even though he was immersed in sorrow and anger, Sirius jumped up like a dog smelling a bone, "What? Snotlout? Can we change someone else? He will definitely poison the medicine! By the way, I can buy a mere wolfsbane potion with money!"

Lupin shook his head, "Forget it. In this case, what's the difference between you paying money to support me."

Sirius: "I do!"

Lupin ignored He continued, "And Snape wouldn't poison it. At most, he would use his professional skills to make the potion more unpalatable and smelly without affecting the potion's effectiveness. I can tolerate this. We have already let him down."

"James and Lily are together, which is already shameful. If Lily knew that James, who had turned over a new leaf, was only superficially friendly to Snape, Lily would not be with James."

Seeing that Sirius wanted to refute, he added, "You and I should know very well. We also covered for this."

Sirius lowered his head.

"How long are you going to talk about family matters, school life, and racial discrimination?" Flamel, who had been silent all the time, began to speak, "Didn't you pay attention? What did Dumbledore say?"

"According to what he said, Voldemort has at least four Horcruxes."

"What?" Sirius looked up again, "Did Dumbledore say that?"

If it is true, this is not a trivial matter.

Making a Horcrux requires splitting a person's soul - the essence of the self.

This will cause great side effects.

First, loss of humanity

The incomplete soul will lead to loss of humanity.

After making Horcruxes, people will become less human emotionally and physically.

It is recorded in the Black family's collection that wizards who have made Horcruxes will have strange changes in their values and personality, advocating violence and not liking to use their brains.

Alert Alvin, a dark wizard who is not handsome but good at strategy.

To kill a Muggle, he has to make a sophisticated and complicated plan.

But after making Horcruxes, his face suddenly became ugly.

When he was about to kill a wizard who was equal to him, he actually broke into the wizard's house and brought his own Horcrux.

There were 5 adult wizards in that wizard's house.

So, the result can be imagined.

Second, unstable soul

Another side effect of making Horcruxes is that the soul itself becomes unstable.

The dark wizard Silly Banack is a good example.

He is a not-so-famous dark wizard, whose original name was Banack. He also made Horcruxes.

Because of the immortality brought by the Horcruxes, he became arrogant and made enemies everywhere.

However, none of his enemies could find his Horcruxes.

And one day, Big Foot Rias claimed to have killed him and found his Horcruxes.

It was said that Banack saw her as beautiful, and in order to please her, he accidentally revealed the true form of the Horcrux - his wand when he was drunk.

She broke his wand and killed her.

At first, people didn't believe it.

But then, Banack really didn't appear again.

Then, everyone started calling him Stupid Banack.

But this was just a story for the outside world.

Big Foot Rias later married into the Black family.

The truth of the story is in her diary.

Her dueling skills are indeed superb.

In the duel with her, Stupid Banack was hit by the backfired knot curse, and then accidentally made the wand in his hand into a Horcrux.

As for why, it can be made without killing.

Because his soul had been destroyed to the limit, and if he made this Horcrux, he would kill himself.

So, he made the Horcrux by killing himself.

Third, the Misty Illusion

After making the Horcrux, the main body of the soul and the soul fragments after the Horcrux was destroyed could not really enter the afterlife.

The Black family is a typical dark wizard family.

In its heyday, they even used wizards to do dark magic experiments.

There was once an ancestor who entered the narrow space between life and death through the wizard's soul when he was alive - he called it the Misty Illusion.

Because there was misty steam all over the place, and he could transform the steam into all the non-living objects he could imagine.

Maybe it was the wrong way to enter, he met many famous dark wizards in history there.

They all have one thing in common - they made Horcruxes.

Their incomplete souls exist in a maldeveloped form.

The soul fragments lay there like a skinned baby, and could only wail in pain.

The incomplete main body is also bloody, but it still has a rough human shape, so their identities can be identified.

But whether it is the fragments or the main body, they cannot return to the human world, cannot become ghosts, and cannot go to the underworld.

Because their souls are completely broken. They can only be trapped in the hazy illusion forever.

And the above are still the side effects of only creating a Horcrux.

This is why, not long after the magic of the Horcrux was created, its creator began to study how to recycle the fragments.

Even though "Advanced Black Magic" records that the recycling process is extremely painful and requires repentance - you must truly feel what you have done, and this pain alone can destroy people, there are still dark wizards who make Horcruxes trying to do so.

Sirius couldn't even imagine the extent of the side effects of making four or more Horcruxes.

How ignorant, stupid, and bold is this to create so many Horcruxes!

That soul is so patient!

The other two are dead.

There are more than four Voldemorts!

Sirius couldn't imagine it, and he was more likely to hear it wrong.

However, Dumbledore also continued: "Yes, at least four."

"You all know that I am very knowledgeable. Under normal circumstances, when a Horcrux is destroyed, the maker of the Horcrux can feel the disappearance of the soul fragments."

"However, Voldemort cannot feel it."

"Even when I let one of his Horcruxes get close to him, he didn't react at all."

Sirius was curious, "A Horcrux? Not a diary?"

Dumbledore nodded, "Yes, no. But that's a secret."

Bagir glanced at Sirius and Lupin and couldn't help but cursed, "If you knew that the Horcrux was Harry's, you would have immediately pulled out your wand and asked Dumbledore what he meant."

"After all, this means that Voldemort can only die completely if Harry Potter dies."

"In other words, no matter whether the black or white side wins or loses, Harry's fate is death."

"If it weren't for the original world line, Voldemort was resurrected by ingesting Harry's blood, sharing the love spell in Harry's blood that would have disappeared with adulthood."

"Let them have a closer relationship - as long as Voldemort does not die, Harry's life will not end."

"Instead of the original two people dying."

Of course Sirius couldn't hear Bagir's thoughts.

After all doubts were resolved, the primary goal naturally returned - to destroy the locket and fulfill Regulus' last wish.

"Dumbledore, you can start now - I mean to destroy it and let part of Voldemort enter the trance and be tortured in advance!"

Kreacher and Dobby, who already had a hatred for Voldemort, shook their fists and chanted the slogan, "Torture! Torture! Torture!"

Dumbledore raised his eyebrows, "Of course. But... I have to ask Basil first."

Bagir: "Huh?"

Dumbledore: "Since you have seen his dream. Does he know the identities of other Horcruxes?"

Bagir smiled wickedly: "Of course, he is the last Horcrux made by Voldemort."

"He has the memory of the previous Horcrux's location and identity."

"So, you said you want to destroy him?"
