Days to grind friendship at Hogwarts

Although Glenn deliberately relaxed his strength, this precious crown still could not withstand the sharpness of the sword and was split in two from the middle.

Accompanied by distant and weak screams, a black and viscous liquid like melted asphalt slowly seeped out from the fractured part of the crown.

Without the fragments of Voldemort's soul and the magical blessing of Ravenclaw, the crown that was previously shining like new has lost its luster and has returned to its rusty appearance, and the gems inlaid on it have also dimmed one by one.

Achieved milestone [Soul Annihilation]

You successfully shattered the protective magic of the Horcrux, withstood the temptation of the soul fragments inside, and successfully eradicated an evil creation of black magic.

"What a pity..."

Glenn turned off the system light screen, looked at the Ravenclaw diadem that had completely lost its magic, and sighed with some regret.

This relic of the founder of Hogwarts, which has been searched for by countless wizards for centuries, has now been turned into two pieces of scrap metal.

Qiu's eyes were still a little dazed. Rather than witnessing the destruction of a Horcrux with her own eyes, Glenn's words touched her heart more.

"Don't ever try to threaten me with Qiu..."

Although these words may sound a bit tacky and cheesy, for a young girl, this kind of domineering president-like speech has a novel appeal.

"Ahem..."

Dumbledore coughed slightly, attracting their attention.

"I originally had some guesses that I couldn't confirm, but now there should be no problem." He smiled, pointed at the crown that was broken in half and had stopped screaming, "Today's unexpected surprise is enough for us to be sure.

Voldemort's preferences in choosing Horcruxes."

"So far we have solved Riddle's diary, the Gaunt family's ring, and Ravenclaw's diadem. We can also confirm that there are Slytherin's locket and Hufflepuff's gold cup. As for the other

If there’s nothing else, it’s unclear.”

Glenn summed it up on his fingers and looked at Dumbledore.

"Do you have any guesses about the number of Horcruxes?"

"Of course there are conjectures, but we can't be sure yet."

Dumbledore pondered for a moment and said slowly.

"Based on my understanding of Voldemort, he is a person who likes to pursue a sense of ritual. This can be seen from his habit of choosing Horcruxes."

Qiu squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then nodded: "It seems to be true. Except for the diary, all the Horcruxes we know so far are either relics of the founder of the academy or heirlooms of pure-blood families...

"

"That's right." Dumbledore continued, "Therefore, he should also pursue the number of Horcruxes. For example, three and seven are legendary numbers with magical power. Of course, the Horcruxes we have discovered now

There are already more than three, so obviously seven is more likely."

"Then why aren't they fourteen, seventeen, twenty-one and other numbers containing seven or multiples of seven?" Glenn asked casually, obviously thinking of the "shooting seven orders" that often appeared on the wine table in his previous life.

Dumbledore glanced at him with a half-smile and explained: "I don't think this number will be larger. As you know, splitting the soul is an extremely evil and dangerous thing. It will make the soul become

He is extremely unstable. This can be seen from the changes in his appearance over the years. We do not consider for the moment whether he can actually split his soul into so many parts. Even if he can, it will leave his only remaining

The last trace of his soul has become extremely fragile. In other words, even if we don't work hard to solve those Horcruxes, just a slightly stronger wind is enough to completely dissipate his soul."

"If this is the case, it means we still need to solve four more Horcruxes, right?"

"That's not necessarily true," Dumbledore said. "Obviously, Voldemort's purpose is to make seven Horcruxes, but whether he successfully completed this goal remains to be verified. Our next task is to find a way to solve the problem first.

I know these two.”

"Have you got a clue yet?" Glenn asked.

"Maybe." Dumbledore smiled slightly, "I will inform you if there is any progress."

"If we need to set out to find the next Horcrux in the future, shouldn't we take Harry with us? He will have to start trying to face some things."

"You are right." Dumbledore nodded, and the smile on his face showed a bit of relief. "It seems that you have gradually become accustomed to this brother-like status."

"Okay, it's getting late. You have worked so hard along the way for so many days. It's time to go back and rest." He put away the ring and crown that had lost their function and said to the two of them.

"But Professor, your body..." Qiu said without turning around with Glenn.

"Oh! I almost forgot about this." Dumbledore raised his charred right hand and looked at it with interest, "Then, dear therapist, can you please explain my situation in detail?"

Being called a therapist for the first time, Qiu's face turned slightly red, and then he said: "Your pulse is called Yuxiang pulse in medical books. The floating pulse is extremely weak, which means that coldness has entered the body, which is what we think.

Muggle doctors refer to the damage caused by black magic as the terminal pulse. However, this situation is recorded in the medical books passed down by our family, and it is not impossible to solve it. In addition, someone has already put the magic spell on the ring.

Blocking it in your right hand is the most correct way to handle it at that time."

(Except for the name of the pulse condition, it is purely fictitious. There is no disrespect to Chinese medicine. Please forgive me if it offends.)

Dumbledore listened to her carefully and asked, "So, what do I need to do next?"

Qiu recalled the contents of the book and said: "We must first control the growth and spread of the curse, mainly relying on herbs. If I remember correctly, some of the herbs can only be found in China.

"

"This is not a problem. With the help of Mr. Liu Tao and the two families, we can find them soon," Glenn said.

Qiu nodded and continued: "As for complete eradication, I'm afraid it will be a bit troublesome. In addition to the more cherished herbs, you also need to have strong enough magic power as support to completely remove the curse from your body."

"Powerful enough magic?"

Dumbledore's expression froze, and he was obviously stunned by what she said.

"You mean...even my magic isn't enough?"
