A broken Hogwarts

Chapter 151 Heir

Under Madam Pomfrey's lion's roar, the young wizards who had escaped from the emotional infection fled the school hospital in disgrace, and peace was restored here again, with only a few people left in the ward.

Harry, who had been hospitalized twice in a short period of time, covered his face with a quilt and had not yet recovered from the incident. Well, he almost died after falling from the sky, but what greeted him was the ecstasy of the teachers and students in the school... even because of

The emotion was contagious, but not everyone could accept it so quickly. He didn't even care about being angry about Fred Weasley's sneak attack.

"He wants to kill you!" Draco walked back and forth angrily, as if he was the one being attacked. "The game is over! Shameless sneak attack... It's time for him to pack up and go back home!"

"I agree. How many years has it been since Hogwarts has expelled a student?" Blaise tossed his camera up and down, "Ah, that's right! Harry, I took a picture of you falling from the air. You need to

Don’t you need me to wash one for you? This is a precious memory!”

"You can talk less, Blaise." Daphne smiled sweetly at him, her beautiful blue eyes were bright and sharp, making the other party couldn't help but shut his mouth.

It's a precious piece of dark history, right? Owen sneered, and said with a smile, "Give me a copy," and received a sad and indignant look from Harry.

"I remember, the last time you had a conflict, Fred was the first to attack." Owen hugged his shoulders and leaned against the wall, looking up at the not-so-bright chandelier on the ceiling. Maybe this was someone from that crown.

The ability to stimulate negative emotions and make people irritable and impulsive?

At this time, the door to the ward opened, and Professor McGonagall walked in with a stern face and Fred, who looked annoyed and heavy. George followed behind, his expression became much calmer, but his eyes flickered.

Fred apologized sincerely, with a pretended relaxed expression on his face, but his eyes were very serious. He began to realize that something was wrong with him and that he had become an unstable factor.

George paused, turned back and closed the door to the ward, and said to everyone's puzzled eyes: "Potter, I'm sorry that this happened, but I still want to remind you, you must be careful! That day you listen

Is it about the diadem I told Dumbledore? It was us who harmed Ron, introduced danger into our family, and made everyone...not right."

"I think you are thinking about something bad." Tom looked at him seriously and felt a chill on his back for no reason.

The indifference on Harry's face slowly dissipated, and his expression took on a hint of suspicion. Could it be because of the influence of the crown? But didn't Dumbledore check that there was nothing wrong with them?

"Although I very much hope that it was not your intention to do such a thing, your statement is still hard to believe, Mr. Weasley." Professor McGonagall's nose twitched and her brows furrowed tightly.

His expression showed anger and some worry that had not gone away, "I will ask Madam Pomfrey and Professor Dumbledore to help you take a look again. I hope you are not really unaware of how bad your behavior is..."

Tom looked at him silently for a while, then looked away: "Why are you asking me this?"

"How's the situation?" Tom's handwriting appeared impatiently.

"There are certainly many limitations to this method. I think the biggest one is the number of people it can control." Owen mused. After Ron was given up, it seemed that only Neville was left. "It may be able to control more people."

There are many people, but that kind of consumption is definitely something he is not willing to pay."

"I think it should be subtly catalyzing people's negative emotions and desires, and fueling people to behave out of control at critical moments. I even suspect that it is gradually taking advantage of the situation in the process, and in the end it may be able to achieve

More in-depth control, such as a short-term Imperius Curse, or an unconscious sleepwalking state, etc. It is difficult to judge the specific situation without seeing it with your own eyes."

"I don't know that you would believe such a poor excuse, Professor." Draco said slowly, with a very dissatisfied expression, "How could such malicious harm or even... murder happen in Hogwarts..."

Tom's face turned dark. The two people looked at each other and smiled "sincerely" at the same time.

"I have always regretted," Tom looked towards the direction of the castle again, "that I could not completely clean up the scum in the school."

"Do you believe this outrageous story?" Draco muttered, scratching his head.

Owen looked at him for a while, then said with a half-smile: "Who doesn't want to?"

"Oh, I knew it." Owen clapped his hands lively, "This diary is from fifty years ago. I just found out that the secret room was opened once at that time. You must have experienced this kind of thing..."

"That's right, in this way, the only person who needs to be in constant contact with the Horcrux is the one who is directly controlled." Tom raised his lips slightly, "Other people who are indirectly controlled will not know where the Horcrux is at all, as long as

If they occasionally appear within the range that a Horcrux can influence, they can slowly be controlled more deeply."

"I haven't started to think of other things yet. Those vitalities are too little." There was a hint of resentment in Tom's eyes, which made people feel distressed and guilty.

"What can't I admit in front of you?" Tom said gently, "We have always been of the same mind. I believe you won't be estranged from me because I am the heir of Slytherin, right?"

"Well, this is the first time I've gone boating on the lake with someone else. It's obviously quite romantic, but why with you?" Owen sat lazily on the stern of the boat, looking at Tom who was standing aside looking at the castle in the distance with some disgust.

.

Harry secretly tugged at his robe and asked him to stop talking. Although he was still a little upset, he still wanted to believe that the other party would not sincerely want to harm him maliciously. After all, although the Weasley twins were a little naughty,

, but it has always had a good reputation in the school and is very popular. And the other party will not be stupid enough to do such a thing in front of all the teachers and students in the school. The professors will not watch the students fall and die, they will only let them

He faces severe punishment.

"You know, there was a basilisk hidden in the school, and there were two attacks." Owen said with a smile, "The wall next to the first victim said 'The secret room was opened.' Haierbo seemed to have found the secret room.

Position, following Slytherin's last wish to clean up the Mudbloods in the school, although they were by no means the only ones who were attacked... I think he was using Slytherin's will to confuse the audience and distract Dumbledore.

"

"You won the special contribution award fifty years ago, right?" Owen licked his lips, "The reason for the award is... you caught the culprit who opened the secret room and prevented successive attacks in the school.

"

Tom did not refute, but continued: "The second method is indirect control. This method is more subtle and gentle, but it also makes things much more complicated."

Owen coughed lightly, changed the topic, and told him what he had discovered today and what happened later. Tom stared into the distance and listened quietly, and the boat began to move slowly.

"Oh, you actually admitted it?" Owen put on a surprised expression.

Owen said slowly: "I was wondering if Haierbo hid the Horcrux in the secret room?"

"So, do you want to be the heir of Slytherin?" Tom said with a solemn expression, as if entrusting him with a major mission, "implement Slytherin's will, clean up the filth of Hogwarts, and revitalize pure blood.

of glory."

"In this way, many things will be obvious." After listening, Tom said slowly.

The smile on Owen's face deepened. He stroked the edge of the boat with his palm and said lightly: "This method should not require the controlled person to have close contact with the Horcrux, but it will most likely require them to have been in the Horcrux for a long time.

Within a certain range nearby, it was slowly affected without knowing it. Oh, that Horcrux must have been at the Weasley family during the summer vacation, so it could successfully affect everyone in their family. I missed the most.

Good opportunity.”

"It's possible. You asked the right person. I happen to know about the secret room." Tom said slowly.

"I just figured out that Fred's previous behavior was not a special case." He closed his eyes with guilt and sadness and continued, "I have always felt that something was wrong with him some time ago, and at some point he will

Becoming more paranoid, impulsive and even... callous, and even making choices he should never make. But I was wrong. This happened not only to Fred, but also to Percy, Ron, and maybe

Ginny, and I, actually have more or less such signs, but we just don’t know it..."

The diary opened with a clatter, and Owen once again fell into the world on the page. This time he stood on a small boat floating in the middle of the black lake. The clear water surface was sparkling, and fish were occasionally passing by.

Here you can see the entire Hogwarts Castle.

"Of course, you can trust me, Tom." Owen responded with a sincere smile, "In fact, I feel more kind to you."

Owen looked at him confidently, and after a while he clicked his tongue and said, "You can really eat it. It gives you a headache."

"I'm sure that we have been affected by some kind of terrible influence invisibly, starting from the summer vacation." George's expression changed again and again, and finally became firm, "Of course, this is our own business, I

I'll investigate. I'm telling you this because you might be a target! Both Ron and Fred attacked you. I don't think it's a coincidence. You have to be careful about people like us..."

"Haha, you still have to look for it." Owen responded with a bright smile. It's impossible to find it with all the effort. It's better to... lure the snake out of its hole!

It would only be easier to let him jump out on his own... Owen looked at Tom thoughtfully, his dark eyes flashing slightly.

George grinned, his smile cheerful but with a forced smile: "Don't look at me now, I am quite normal, maybe I will want to crack your head like a walnut in the next moment. So, don't let down your guard,

Potter.”

Tom didn't answer, but just stared at him with bright eyes, as if he was saying with his eyes: You are not willing to find suitable food for me. You only need three days of fishing and two days of drying nets to feed me, but you still have the nerve to complain that I can eat it?

"My father will know about this." Draco yelled at their backs as they left.

Owen narrowed his eyes slyly and smiled like a little fox.

Tom's expression turned cold for a moment, but then returned to its original state in the blink of an eye. His face changed so quickly that it felt like he was hallucinating. He said: "This is the first time you told me about this..."

After bidding farewell to George, Owen went to the Room of Requirement on the eighth floor and spread out Tom's diary in his secret base. Well, Harry and the others knew about the diary, so it's best to be more cautious in the future.

"I discovered something, let's talk about it face to face." Irving glanced at the quill in his hand and wrote.

"Yes, what I am sure of is that the Horcrux must be in a place where Gryffindors often pass by, because Ginny Weasley was affected much less than others, and no one in the other two houses was even affected.

The influence, but that's all." Owen slowly straightened his legs and shook his toes slightly, "I can't further lock the area where the Horcrux is through the intersection between them, unless I spend a lot of time and energy.

To find a way to track Neville and risk being discovered..."

"Ah, Tom, do you know any information about the Chamber of Secrets left by Slytherin?" Owen changed the topic directly.

George was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that Owen was talking about the Marauder's Map. He shrugged indifferently: "It's unrealistic if you want to find clues from the Marauder's Map. My eyes were almost fixed on it some time ago...

…I’ll go back and ask Fred what he means, and if there’s no problem I’ll bring it to you tomorrow.”

"Wow, that's scary, isn't it?" Owen broke the silence with an exaggerated expression, and then lazily stretched his arms, "It's like listening to a horror story..." As he said that, his whole temperament also changed.

He became gloomy and cold, and said in a gloomy tone: "Do you think they are not the only ones who will be affected? Harry, be careful——"

"The first method is direct control. This method requires that the person has had close contact with the Horcrux, such as wearing the Horcrux necklace and being under the most direct control." Tom continued, "There is a difference between the two.

A certain unequal contractual relationship has been established. The person being controlled cannot help himself, his vitality is sucked out, and it is difficult for him to seek help from others directly. Sometimes he may even be possessed."

"Of course, I like to be fully prepared at any time." Owen tilted his head, "I'm glad you didn't try to lie to me, Tom."

"The Rubeus Hagrid you caught back then was probably just a scapegoat, otherwise Dumbledore wouldn't have been able to vouch for him and trust him so much." Owen's voice was as light as a whisper, as if he was afraid of disturbing the tranquility of the lake.

"But considering that the attacks stopped after he was caught, I am more inclined to... the thief calls for the thief to catch the thief."

Harry shuddered and woke up suddenly. He leaned back and almost hit the wall with the back of his head. He blushed and glared at Owen, then lay on the bed and pretended to be dead. Not to mention, he was so frightened by Owen.

, he always felt as if everyone might be plotting to kill him... It was going to end.

"Perhaps you won't believe it, but I just felt like... losing control, as if I was blinded by anger." He pursed his lips, and then shrugged, "I have felt this way from time to time recently, but I have never felt that way.

Like today, I don’t want to send someone to see Merlin so much... Well, this is not like me. In fact, I have always found you quite pleasing to the eye..."

"It sounds like you are excusing yourself, right? Well, I think it's best for me to be locked up during this period, so that I don't run out and bite people in the middle of the night." Fred twitched the corner of his mouth, "That's really frustrating.

Already."

Owen watched Tom's change of expression in amusement, and said with a chuckle: "I'm so sorry, I forgot, who made you wonder where Haierbo could get a basilisk from..."

Tom glared at Owen with his always sincere and charming dark eyes, and then sat down on the other side of the boat casually and elegantly, with his long legs draped in front and his lips lightly pursed.

"The most important thing is that the Horcrux may be able to move on its own." Owen spread his hands and continued. The crown may have absorbed most of the vitality of Penelo Crevat and Ron Weasley.

Although part of it was consumed by Owen and also lost in subsequent attacks, there is probably still a lot left. It is possible to condense a fuzzy body and move it in a short time.

"What are you going to do?" Tom looked at him leisurely.

"Yeah, but it's more difficult." Owen looked at the weeping willows on the shore.

The diary and the crown are both Voldemort's Horcruxes. Although they have been separated from each other for too long or other factors, the connection between souls is unlikely to be completely severed... Owen always feels that they will be able to sense each other sooner or later.

, perhaps after the absorbed vitality exceeds a certain limit.

Harry listened to his words in stunned silence, and then stared blankly at the other person striding towards the door. He opened his mouth and felt terrified in his heart. Is that crown really so scary?

The other audience members also had expressions of disbelief on their faces. They couldn't believe it but were horrified to think about it. For a moment, everyone looked at each other and no one spoke.

"It seems that your investigation is very clear." The smile at the corner of Tom's mouth slowly widened.

"You will be detained until the matter is investigated, Mr. Weasley." She took a deep breath and said, "If we finally find out that you are lying, you will be punished more severely... It is not even ruled out.

You will be expelled." Although the consequences of this incident are not serious, the impact is too bad. He blatantly hurt his classmates in front of the entire school's teachers and students. This cannot be easily uncovered.

He said a few more words to Professor McGonagall, and after watching her leave the ward with people, he breathed a sigh of relief. He was almost knocked to death from a broomstick just now, and his arm and leg bones had just been reattached.

Well, it is always impossible to maintain a calm mind when facing someone who launches an attack. It is better to be out of sight and out of mind.

"How much memory have you recovered, Tom?" Owen asked with a smile and a hand on his chin. It seems that not much has changed.

Before Madam Pomfrey came in to chase people away, the group left the ward. Owen quickly caught up with George who was walking in front, waved to him and said: "George, I am also investigating the crown. Can I borrow yours?"

Can I use the map?"

"In that case, I can take you into the secret room left by Slytherin." Tom smiled, "But..."

Well, it's troublesome when you think about it, it's a waste of life.

"What else do you know?" Tom looked at him steadily, with a faint smile on his pale and handsome face, but it looked a little strange.

"I said, we are the best collaborators, so we must be sincere to each other." Tom's smile was beautiful and beautiful, with a dangerous and seductive feeling. He said in a voice as soft as a whisper: "Then,

You must have made some guesses, right, Owen?"

Owen smiled and nodded: "It should have two ways of controlling people."

"But at least the ability of that Horcrux is almost certain." Tom said calmly, "It is very powerful, much more powerful than me..."

"The most important thing is..." Tom paused for a moment.

"I know, it's vitality." Owen hugged his shoulders and showed a helpless expression.

"It's not that I don't want to take you there now. Entering the secret room requires Parseltongue. I will slowly teach you some daily expressions during this period to ensure that you can enter the secret room and communicate with the basilisk, so as not to be attacked by the irritable

The guy attacked." Tom said softly.

"I wish I could." Owen blinked.

The two looked at each other and smiled, each with their own hidden agenda.
