Chapter 251 The Purpose of Horcruxes

The room is huge.

It is said to be a garbage mountain, but it is actually composed of many garbage mountains piled together.

Snape and Dumbledore were walking on the path between two mountains of garbage... It is hard to imagine that there are so many garbage piled together in Hogwarts.

"How is this done?" Snape looked around.

Legend has it that the Room of Requirement can satisfy any need. Judging from the information obtained from Andy, the Room of Requirement does have such an ability.

If it were just transfiguration...

But the garbage is real, and it can be taken out.

"That's the magic of magic."

Dumbledore said: "Even if I have studied for more than a hundred years, I still cannot understand all the mysteries of magic."

After a pause, Dumbledore continued: "I have only gone farther than all the living wizards, but there is still a very long distance from the end. Maybe... no one can ever reach that end."

Snape said no more.

The end point of magic is indeed a far distance that cannot even be seen.

After walking around the room, Dumbledore said calmly: "If that dark magic item is really hidden here, then it has probably been taken away by someone."

"Who do you think it is?" Snape asked.

Snape thought about Andy, but he didn't think Andy would be that stupid. One of Voldemort's Horcruxes will never be able to do anything to that annoying guy Andy.

Dumbledore was silent for a moment.

The diary is a Horcrux made by Voldemort in his fifth year.

But the one in the Room of Requirement is definitely a Horcrux made by Voldemort after he became an adult. It has even more powerful power.

With the young wizard's ability, he was absolutely unable to resist Voldemort's temptation.

Of course, there is no evidence to prove this yet.

But if this is true...

Hogwarts may not be peaceful anymore.

"Severus, it seems that we need to strengthen the protection of the little wizards." Dumbledore said.

This old guy...!

In recent times, Snape has lamented more than once that Dumbledore seems not to be as reliable as Andy Collins.

Andy is smart and incredibly perceptive.

He found the location of the Room of Requirement... Snape even suspected that Andy could even find Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets if he wanted to.

During the summer vacation a few months ago, Andy had become aware of Dumbledore's plan.

After school started, Andy also became aware of his plan.

He even investigated Horcruxes!

Taking this attack as an example, Andy immediately thought of the Room of Requirement.

Originally Andy's strength was still a little behind.

Well, it's a lot worse.

But Andy improved the Patronus Charm.

Snape had seen the principle of the Patronus Charm, and also seen the photo - the photo (video) of Andy using the Patronus Charm to fight against others.

Very powerful magic.

Do you want to consider cooperation...

As soon as this idea came up, Snape decisively killed it.

Working with Andy Collins...might as well be dead.

"Severus, let's get out!" Dumbledore said.

Back in the principal's office, Snape and Dumbledore stared in silence.

Although there was no evidence, they had basically determined that Voldemort's Horcrux was hidden in the Room of Requirement and had been taken away by a young wizard.

But when the clues got here, they were broken again!

Unless the little wizard who took the Horcrux himself was exposed, it would be difficult for them to find that person in the castle.

The most important thing is...

Snape asked in a deep voice: "There should be fragments of the Dark Lord's soul hidden in the Horcrux, right? He controls a little wizard. What do you think he wants to do?"

Dumbledore looked up in shock, "Severus, you..."

"Horcrux?"

Snape said calmly: "That's not a secret."

Dumbledore was silent for a moment and did not dwell on the matter any further.

Now that Snape already knows about Horcruxes, whether he makes Horcruxes or not is no longer Dumbledore's control.

Snape was not one to take advice.

Before he created the Horcrux, Dumbledore could not do anything to Snape.

"Resurrection, and then replace the main soul."

Dumbledore said: "Horcruxes are a very dangerous form of black magic. When the main soul is strong, the split soul will fall into silence. But when the main soul is weak, the split soul can feel it. "

"He absorbed the life force in order to reshape his body, then devour the main soul and become the new Voldemort."

Resurrection?

Snape was thoughtful, but he was still a little confused, "Then why didn't he kill the little wizard?"

Dumbledore said slowly: "Maybe... he doesn't want Hogwarts to close!"

When Voldemort was in fifth grade, he stopped killing people just because he didn't want to see Hogwarts closed.

Snape frowned and said, "If he leaves Hogwarts, he will have even more room for action than he does now."

Especially, once you leave Hogwarts, you won't have to face the greatest wizard of the twentieth century in front of you.

Dumbledore looked out the window quietly.

Indeed, things are no longer what they used to be, and Voldemort shouldn't have any scruples.

Unless...he has other purposes!

"Harry!"

Dumbledore looked at Snape fiercely, "The Horcrux contains only fragments of Voldemort's soul. He doesn't know how his main soul failed."

"So he must be very curious about Harry!"

"How did a baby who was less than a year old defeat such a powerful Dark Lord?"

Snape's expression turned extremely ugly for a moment.

This is the most likely guess.

While recovering his strength, he observed Harry, and by the way... he could also play with the greatest wizard of the twentieth century in front of him.

"I'll go take a look!" Snape said quickly.

"Severus, don't worry."

Dumbledore said calmly: "Voldemort will not attack Harry so soon, we still have time. And... Voldemort cannot harm Harry."

Snape looked at Dumbledore, wanting an explanation.

"The magic Lily left behind has been protecting Harry from harm."

Dumbledore explained: "That is a power that Voldemort does not understand, and he cannot fight against that power."

Snape: Got it!

Therefore, the real savior is actually Lily. As for Harry Potter, he is just a tool for exerting magical power.

Thinking of this, Snape suddenly felt extremely complicated.

His Lily is very powerful, but her love is given to others.

If she loves me, I can be her savior.

"Severus, please keep an eye on Harry during this time."
