A broken Hogwarts

Chapter 136 Tom’s Guess

"Actually, Haierbo was the one who led me onto the path of black magic." Owen said with a smile. "Last year, he controlled the professor of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class in the school and sneaked into Hogwarts. The purpose was to

Get the Philosopher's Stone that Dumbledore hid here."

"The Philosopher's Stone?" Tom raised his eyebrows, showing interest, "Nicola Flamel is actually willing to hand it over to someone else for safekeeping?"

"Maybe it's because he feels that he can't keep the Philosopher's Stone on his own, or the immortality that the Philosopher's Stone can bring him has almost reached its limit." Owen said casually, "You know, the Philosopher's Stone can't make people truly immortal..."

"So I took a more effective and reliable method than the Philosopher's Stone to pursue immortality." Tom raised his chin slightly.

Owen nodded in agreement. If what Tom just said is completely true, Horcruxes are indeed a very good method of immortality. Horcruxes are difficult to destroy, are extremely concealable, and can still be used after the main body rolls over.

Subjective initiative, find a way to resurrect the main soul. And no matter how many times the main soul dies and is resurrected, the Horcrux will not be consumed. This is completely different from the concept of a phylactery. Although resurrection is not that convenient, it is definitely very good at it.

Let the master survive.

If the preset resurrection method could be used, Voldemort would indeed be at a loss. But he probably believed in his own power and did not expect that death would come so suddenly. He had not even achieved his original goal of making six Horcruxes.

, let alone arranging any means of resurrection, which is why he became so embarrassed.

In addition, this guy had traces of the choice of Horcruxes and their hiding places. As a result, Dumbledore, a fanatical fan, followed the clues and picked them out one by one. He finally managed to survive Dumbledore, but Harry was lucky enough to kill him.

I found the remaining few well-hidden Horcruxes, and finally the ship capsized in the gutter.

"Hey, it turns out that Voldemort is also a very unlucky guy." Owen silently commented on Voldemort's history of blood and tears, while reaching out to touch the soft and realistic embroidered tablecloth on the long table of the guest of honor, and then turned over and sat on it.

Tom was still tilting his head and waiting for the next step, unaware that the person opposite was slandering him.

"I met Haierbo not long after I entered school last year, and he took me with him to teach me for a while..." Owen put his hands on the table, thinking about his words, "He taught me the Dark Guard, and

Some black magic that is not difficult, I don’t know what his purpose is, so it stands to reason that I can’t help him much.”

Tom held his chin in his hand and looked at Owen thoughtfully, with an undetectable light flashing in his eyes.

"In the process of contacting him, I have been trying to find out his details." Owen shook his feet gently and looked at the candles suspended under the ceiling. "I discovered that he is not really alive, or that he is not really alive."

, he is actually trying to come back to life. He controlled the professor in some way, not with the Imperius Curse, but as if he was possessing him, but usually there is no trace..."

"I never knew how he did it. Until the end of the semester, when he drove the professor to steal the Sorcerer's Stone, he completely disappeared." The corners of Owen's mouth slightly raised happily, and then he returned to his calm expression, "I

I think he didn’t fight

Defeated Dumbledore, or was benefited by other forces. In short, the professor disappeared, I don't know whether he died or escaped. The Philosopher's Stone is also missing. I found out that it seems to be owned by a group called the "Aether Society"

The mysterious organization stole it..."

"But for me, the shadow of Haierbo seems to have dissipated." Owen's expression suddenly became heavy. "But what I didn't expect was that this year, Haierbo sneaked into the school again, controlled my classmates, and seemed to be targeting me.

Fucked me."

"I finally discovered his secret. By inquiring about the controlled student, I learned that he once wore a special... necklace." Owen nodded his chin and emphasized in a more serious tone, "It just so happens that I

I know that professor had that necklace hanging around his neck last semester."

"That's why I started searching for relevant information, guessing that it was Halbo's Horcrux." He looked at Tom, who looked thoughtful, "Unfortunately, the necklace has been hidden, and it is difficult for me to find it."

"If the real situation is what you see, that necklace must be a Horcrux." Tom agreed with Owen's idea with a serious face.

"But things have become a lot more complicated. Halbo seems to have controlled not just one person, but several people..." Owen briefly told the experiences of several Weasleys, and then said: "I don't know if he has sneaked in again."

What is the school for? But I’m afraid he will find me again soon and show his hidden fangs to me... I don’t think Haierbo taught me black magic just out of admiration. He must be planning something. I can’t

Sit back and wait for death."

Tom's brows wrinkled tighter and tighter, with a hint of hesitation and gloominess on his face. Finally he said calmly: "What you did is right. I think he does have other intentions for you - you have fallen into the trap from the beginning.

fell into his plan."

"Oh?" Owen said as if he was willing to hear the details.

"You may not know that your physical condition is very special." A hint of well-hidden greed and desire flashed through Tom's eyes, "You are very attractive to those beings with the ability to possess, and are very suitable for being possessed.

They possess and control you, and they can use your body to show greater strength..."

"This may be the change brought to you by the Dark Guardian... I have not studied this magic in depth, so I can only rely on speculation." Tom squinted at the shadow flying leisurely beside Owen.

"Helbo probably needs a body or identity that can truly move freely. After all, he is the remnant soul in a Horcrux. It is difficult to control a body that does not belong to him for a long time, even if he absorbs enough life force...

But you are different." Tom looked at Owen with concern and said, "Don't be tricked by Haierbo, Owen."

"Is that so?" Owen held his chin with one hand and muttered. It turns out that this special characteristic of him can still be perceived, even if he has taken effective measures to prevent himself from being possessed by evil spirits.

In this case, it seems very suitable to use it to trick people. If he does some tricks on himself, can he trap the soul possessing him and stuff it into other containers? Can he capture a Voldemort by then?

Pokémon?

Owen's expression became more and more interested, and he silently added this topic to his research list.

"So, Tom, you have been getting close to me some time ago. Could it be that you sensed my specialness and wanted to possess me?" Owen suddenly looked at Tom with a faint look.

"I did have this idea at the beginning. You know, my purpose is to absorb the life force and resurrect the main soul. I must use everything that can be used. To you and me, a few lives are nothing, right?"

Tom readily admitted this and said lazily, "But later I found that this didn't work. You were too cautious and calculated that the gains outweighed the losses. So I gave up the idea."

"Look, if I still had plans for you, I wouldn't tell you the whole thing, right?" He said softly, with a leisurely smile on his lips.

"Yes, but you are more afraid that I will be possessed by Haierbo, and then you will fall into that guy's hands." Owen looked at him playfully, "I'm afraid your end will be miserable, as an unscrupulous and evil person

A powerful dark wizard, Haierbo would probably be happy to study a wild Horcrux."

"This is indeed my concern. We are like grasshoppers on a rope." Tom said softly, with a calm expression on his face.

"Ha, then I'm relieved." Owen shook his feet and looked at the starry sky on the ceiling with a smile, "Speaking of which, this place looks very real. Can you change the surrounding environment to another place? For example, Versailles

palace?"

"Great proposal, do you want me to take you around the world here?" Tom turned his head and stared at him with bright black eyes.

"Then please." Owen sat up straight.

"Don't even think about it." Tom crossed his shoulders angrily, as if he was swallowing his anger, "It takes energy to transform these things, and I haven't absorbed much vitality at all."

"That's such a pity." Owen laughed, and then said seriously: "Tom, do all Horcruxes have the ability to control people's hearts like the Imperius Curse? How many people has Haierbo secretly controlled?"

"The common characteristic of Horcruxes is to absorb life force, and after reaching a certain level, they can temporarily possess and control a body, but that does not control a person's mind, nor can it control two people at the same time." Tom shook his head.

Said, "But the makers of Horcruxes will definitely take measures to protect their Horcruxes and cast some powerful spells on them. What Haierbo used may be a very advanced black magic..."

"However, it is extremely difficult to control multiple people at the same time." He spoke with bright eyes, "Even a healthy and powerful wizard can only control a limited number of people with the Soul Imperius Curse at the same time, let alone one

A Horcrux with limited power."

"So, if Haierbo has not mastered some powerful magic spell that no one knows, then he must borrow other sources of power to use this ability." Tom said confidently, "I am more inclined to be made by him.

The necklace that became the Horcrux itself is a powerful magical item related to thinking and consciousness. He only needs to use magic spells to take advantage of the situation and use this power to control people's hearts!"

Owen nodded in surprise and couldn't help but want to applaud. Tom's guess was correct. Ravenclaw's diadem has the magic power to increase people's wisdom. Isn't it a powerful magical item about thought?

Yes, that's it, work harder, Tom! He looked at Tom with burning eyes, looking forward to the other person's next guess.

Tom did not live up to Owen's expectations. He stood up and walked slowly, analyzing with a serious look on his face: "And this ability must be limited, and the number of people he can control is definitely limited. Although it is difficult for you

I know how many people are under his control, but..."

He looked at Owen with a smile: "Although I can't help you directly find another highly concealed Horcrux, but based on my understanding of the characteristics of Horcruxes, I happen to know a rare magic spell that allows you to identify those that are hidden.

People he controls.”

"Of course, this requires you to help me absorb a certain amount of life force." Tom said with a pleasant smile on his face, "This is the correct way to cooperate, right?"

"But what's the point of finding those being controlled?" Owen raised his eyebrows, "You know, although a Horcrux absorbs life force, it may not necessarily absorb the lives of those controlled by it. In other words,

It's not necessarily in those people."

"If the Horcrux is hidden in a secret place... I'm not sure whether the Imperius Curse or the Legilimency Curse would be useful to those being controlled. You know, control spells will cause conflicts.

.Once my investigation fails, it will only make Haierbo completely alert, and then he will hide deeper or take more radical measures."

This is one of the reasons why Owen has never rashly alerted the snake. Of course, the biggest reason is that Voldemort's matter has little to do with him. That is the work of Dumbledore and the savior. But when Tom told him that the Horcruxes would slowly recover

After all the memories of the main soul were lost, Owen knew that he could no longer stay out of the matter - what if Voldemort came to find him again after regaining his memory?

"No, the effect of this kind of curse on a person will not be permanent." Tom replied. His eyes were shining with bright brilliance, and his words and deeds were extremely charming and convincing. "In other words,

Even if the Horcrux is hidden, those being controlled will inevitably come into contact with it regularly to consolidate the effect of the control spell."

"As long as you find those people, I believe you will always be able to find clues to the Horcrux." He looked at Owen, "Or am I overestimating your ability? I don't mind guiding you step by step on what to do...

"

"Thank you for your enthusiasm. I think I'm not that stupid." Owen said with a smile.

Tom smiled indifferently and continued: "There is another way to find the Horcrux - if you find that someone is not controlled by the mind but is possessed by the remnant soul of Haierbo, then he is

He must have been in contact with that Horcrux before he was possessed."

"You can try to trace that person's movements before that..." He shrugged again, "Of course, this method may be difficult to implement."

Owen clicked his tongue in agreement, as long as Hogwarts could install a few surveillance cameras...

"Your proposal is very meaningful to me." Owen looked at the other party meaningfully and said with emotion, "If I really succeed in uncovering the Horcrux, you will be the biggest contributor, Tom."

Tom would tell him so much, it seems that he really doesn't want to fall into the hands of Haierbo.

"I don't want to be a hero, just remember to give me life." Tom said calmly.

"Of course, I won't forget it." Owen pursed his lips, "By the way, Tom, you are so good, I guess you are not an unknown person, right? Why have I never heard of your name?

?”

"Who are you?" He put his chin on his hand and tilted his head slightly.

"Since my name has not been circulated in the wizarding world, I am indeed an unknown person." Tom looked at the Slytherin flag waving in the auditorium with a calm expression, "otherwise, I wouldn't have been killed."

"Oh -" Owen jumped down from the long table and looked up at the sky, "I should go out."

The two looked at each other, with a very similar look in their black eyes. In an instant, the world was spinning, and Owen felt like he was falling rapidly, and then landed on the armchair in the common room.

He opened his eyes and touched the head of the little kitten Nizi who had been squatting beside him and staring at him intently. Then he leaned back on the chair happily and put away the diary on the table.

"Well done, Tom." He looked at the crackling fire in the fireplace with dark eyes, and then couldn't help laughing.

Owen laughed for a while, raised his hand to cover his lips, and began to analyze the purpose of Voldemort in the crown coming to Hogwarts. After learning some of the characteristics of the Horcrux, some things became traceable.

Since the remnant soul in the Horcrux cannot truly be resurrected, he must be silently absorbing life force and slowly recovering his memory until he remembers the location of the main soul. Before that, he must prepare a method of resurrection.

This may be the purpose of his coming to Hogwarts.

"Is he really targeting Harry?" Owen frowned, "Wait a minute, I seem to have overlooked one point... Voldemort who created the Crown Horcrux should have been at his most smug and confident.

, you cannot judge him by the person who has been wandering alone in Albania for more than ten years. Even if they have the same 'self', the difference in memory must have a great impact."

"At that time, would he believe that his main soul would wander alone for more than ten years without being found by any of his loyal followers? I'm afraid not." Owen tapped the armchair lightly.

Handle, "At that time, would he give up the best means of resurrection and settle for a second-best method that he was not willing to accept? No, that was a choice made by Voldemort who lost his patience after more than ten years of wasted time."

"So, the best way to resurrect...the Sorcerer's Stone? Then does he know that the Sorcerer's Stone was hidden in Hogwarts last year?" Owen thought carefully about what happened last year. Although the secrets of the Sorcerer's Stone are only the professors and the study group.

The members knew it, but as a mouse, Peter Pettigrew could easily hear some secrets, especially when Hermione and Neville were still members of Gryffindor.

"Assuming he knows that the Sorcerer's Stone was once hidden in Hogwarts, would he want to investigate its current location and obtain it? After all, Voldemort in the diadem probably doesn't know that his main soul has been here before.

Even if he knew about the Philosopher's Stone, he probably wouldn't think that he would give up on using the Philosopher's Stone to achieve a perfect resurrection so easily."

"In this way, in addition to considering Harry as a candidate for resurrection, he may be in contact with Harry to investigate the Aether Society? After all, my setting for the Aether Society treats Harry as an important research subject.

Object."

Owen touched his lips with his fingers and suddenly raised the corners of his lips: "If that's the case, it's still a bit interesting."

He looked at the giant squid tentacles passing by outside the window and yawned lazily.
