Chapter 168 169. Talking to Dumbledore about Horcruxes

The Ravenclaw in the painting glanced at Dumbledore and waved to Lady Grey, who was curled up in a ball and crying sadly.

"Come here, Helena."

"Mother……"

Ms. Gray slowly raised her head.

"come over."

Ravenclaw looked at her tenderly.

"yes."

Ms. Gray slowly stood up and floated over to the portrait.

There was a flash of white light, and her body disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, Helena appeared in the painting in the form of a girl.

"Mother?" She looked at Ravenclaw blankly, "What am I?"

"Helena, my daughter."

Ravenclaw hugged her gently.

"You can live with me in the painting for the time being. Your portrait can be your support."

Scott looked at this scene in surprise.

As expected of Ravenclaw, Lady Gray, who is a ghost, was drawn into the painting.

Such a method is incredible.

"this……"

He heard Dumbledore murmuring in surprise as well.

"This is really amazing magic..."

At this time, Ravenclaw turned his head and looked at the three people outside the painting.

"Sorry." She said, "Please bring the crown to the room where I was originally, and I will find a way to remove the soul fragment."

After she finished speaking, the painting immediately sank into the wall and disappeared.

"Albus!" Professor Flitwick asked excitedly, "A Horcrux... can actually be reversed?"

Dumbledore shook his head.

"I never knew." He said with emotion, "It seems that on the road of magic, no one can say that they have reached the end."

He looked at Scott again.

"It seems you already know something about Horcruxes, Scott."

Scott nodded.

"Medea also relied on Horcruxes to survive." He said, "After hearing about it, I went to learn more about it."

Dumbledore nodded and did not ask where he knew.

"What do you think of Horcruxes?" he asked with interest.

"That requires dividing one's soul."

Scott shook his head in disapproval.

"Sounds like lichs from Muggle fantasy novels, they are usually hopelessly mad."

"So that's what you think?" Dumbledore said cheerfully, "But..."

He pretended to speak ill of people behind their backs but was afraid of being discovered, "I think both Tom and Medea are indeed very crazy."

Of course, there are many people in the wizarding world who call you a crazy old man.

Scott cursed.

"The act of splitting the soul seems to me to be self-harm." Scott said honestly, "I don't think that is a good thing."

He truly believed that the integrity of the soul should be the most important thing to a person.

"Of course, you are right, Scott!" Professor Flitwick immediately said in a praising tone.

Dumbledore also nodded happily.

"It's a pity that Tom didn't think so." He said regretfully, "He was lost in the pursuit of power."

Scott said nonchalantly: "That's just his personal choice."

He simply let go in front of Dumbledore.

After all, he knew he couldn't disguise his temper in front of the old man.

Sure enough, Dumbledore was not surprised when he heard what he said. He just asked curiously: "Why did you say that?"

Scott replied, "In order to gain power, the Dark Lord does not mind becoming a monster. He believes that power is the most important. But I always believe that I must be a human being. Human identity is more important to me than power."

Human beings are the primates of all things.

This idea has been deeply ingrained in his mind.

"Well, this is a novel statement, and it's the first time I've heard of it."

Dumbledore seemed interested in his idea.

"Then you must think that wizards and Muggles are both humans and the same species."

"That's right." Scott nodded, "Just like the grass owl and the owl, although they have differences, they are both owls."

"Oh, I love your metaphor!"

Dumbledore laughed happily.

At this time, Professor Flitwick rubbed his hands and said, "We'd better send the crown over as soon as possible."

He looked like he couldn't wait any longer.

"That's fine."

Dumbledore took out the Elder Wand and waved it, causing the crown to fly.

Then, they left the huge room the same way they came.

After returning to the corridor, Scott opened Helena's study again.

The eagle-shaped brass ring on the door seemed to have recognized him, and it took the initiative to open the door as soon as it saw him.

Scott thanked him, opened the door and walked in.

"You are here."

Scott looked along and saw that Helena in the painting was no longer lively.

"Ms. Grey?"

"Call me Helena." Helena said. "Ms. Gray was just a rumor at first."

"Okay, Helena."

Scott smiled.

"Go in, mother is waiting for you."

Helena glanced at the crown flying in the air controlled by Dumbledore, and opened the inner door.

"Thank you, Helena."

Dumbledore nodded and walked into the room with the crown.

Scott and Professor Flitwick also followed him in.

"Thank you."

said the Ravenclaw in the painting.

"Please place the crown in the center of the room."

Dumbledore waved his wand, causing the crown to fly automatically to the center of the room and land on the ground.

"You can leave now," Ravenclaw said. "Please come back here in seven days."

Dumbledore was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

"Then we take our leave, Lady Ravenclaw."

Professor Flitwick's expression was a little tangled, and he looked back several times when he left.

After returning to the corridor, he said regretfully: "What a pity. I also want to see how Ms. Ravenclaw plans to remove the fragment of that person's soul without destroying the diadem."

Dumbledore also looked regretful, "Since it is Ms. Ravenclaw's request, we have no choice but to comply."

Scott glanced back at the bare wall.

He also wanted to see it.

"Professor Dumbledore." He asked Dumbledore, "What did you do with the previous notebook?"

"Of course it's completely destroyed."

Dumbledore spread his hands.

"Normal spells can't even cause any damage. As a last resort, I used a very dangerous spell."

"Oh, Albus, what spell did you use?" Professor Flitwick asked him curiously.

"Fire Curse," Dumbledore whispered.

Professor Flitwick's expression changed, "Oh, that's a dangerous black curse. It's very difficult to control. It's very difficult."

"That's right."

Dumbledore glanced at Scott again.

"This reminds me of the last night in the Forbidden Forest, when young Mr. Trollope faced the wizard who cast a fire spell and took an eye-catching response."

"Oh?" Professor Flitwick turned to look at Scott, "How did you do it, Scott? Why haven't I heard you talk about it?"

"It's just a trick."

Scott said.

"I cast a happy spell on that wizard."

"Happy spell?"

Professor Flitwick's eyes lit up.

"It is indeed an effective method, and probably the best way to deal with it for you little wizards! Oh! You always amaze me, Scott!"
