Hogwarts: My name is the Unforgivable Curse

"The dilapidated old house in Great Hangleton...maybe it has something to do with the Gaunt family?"

Dumbledore pondered and nodded: "That is indeed probably where Voldemort stored his Horcruxes. He seems to be very fond of placing his Horcruxes in places that are closely related to his own experiences... The seaside cave you explored before It’s a place he found during his childhood in an orphanage.”

"But Mr. Ken, let me ask a question,"

He couldn't help but carefully examine the two Horcruxes in front of him for a while. It seemed that he was not quite able to accept the fact that two precious founder relics and Horcruxes suddenly appeared in front of him. After a while, he realized Looking at Avada again: "Since you have obtained these two Horcruxes a year ago... then how did you deal with them during this year? Or... why did you choose Are you telling me this at this time?"

Avada's pupils shrank - Dumbledore finally got to the point.

"For more than a year,"

He adjusted his breathing before saying: "I have been looking for a way to separate the soul fragments inside without destroying the artifacts. These cultural relics are too precious, and they should not be tainted by Voldemort's soul. Destroyed in vain. And I’m not sure if you would immediately decide to destroy these Horcruxes after seeing them again, so I kept them secret from you for a year... I’m sorry.”

"Haha, then you underestimate me, Mr. Ken."

Dumbledore couldn't help but laugh: "Do you think I would be so willing to destroy what the founder of Hogwarts left behind for a few soul fragments? This is very important in both a magical and historical sense." Valuable cultural relics? I think I would only make such a wasteful decision under extreme circumstances when I am already dead and dying, and Voldemort has been resurrected and is rampantly destroying the magical society... Even last year's That diary is still intact with me."

"And speaking of this, I have to mention one more achievement I have made this year..."

He raised his tone with some pride: "By measuring the soul capacity in the diary, crystal ball, and Voldemort's main soul, I roughly calculated the extent of his soul's incompleteness, and I can roughly infer the true identity of his Horcrux. In terms of quantity...according to the previous results, the number of his Horcruxes should be between five and seven."

"And with the two pieces you provided, we have now mastered three of them, and one more is being explored - yes, it is under the green potion in the cave you just cracked. . And if my prediction is good... I guess you already know about this, right?"

"Is there really a Horcrux in it?"

Avada deliberately showed a surprised look: "I had doubted this when I heard that the cave was related to Voldemort, but during the exploration process, I also gave up this conjecture... I didn't expect that it turned out to be real?"

"Voldemort is so careless about defending his Horcruxes? The magic traps in that old house are more reliable than those stone walls and inferi!"

"Because dividing the soul damages one's intelligence."

Dumbledore said with some regret: "It can be seen from those protections. Those magics are obviously so powerful, advanced, and solid, but it is like a joke to break them... Probably when he set up those protections At that time, my thinking was a little confused and I was confused.”

"...I'm afraid that's the case, Professor."

Avada nodded in agreement - the purpose of those protections was not so much to stop the enemy, but rather to torture his subordinates while Voldemort himself went to inspect the Horcruxes.

"Oh, maybe we're a little off topic - don't forget you still have one question you haven't answered me, Mr. Ken."

Dumbledore withdrew the sad look on his face: "Why do you want to tell me the existence of these two Horcruxes now?"

"It happens to be related to the pot of potion in the cave, Professor."

Avada's face straightened: "In fact, after successfully building the bridge to the island in the middle of the lake, Percy and I used the remaining time to study the potions and came up with some preliminary ideas. Conclusion. And judging from what you said before about exploring the mysteries of the soul through studying those potions, we also have a rough guess..."

"Those potions must be consumed by a living being with a soul before they can be consumed, right?"

This is also the result of Avada's single-handed promotion - it stands to reason that with the level of their group of students, it would take at least three days and three nights of research to discover those potions that must be drunk before it is even possible. But under Avada's instigation and crazy hints at that time, they had basically confirmed the conjecture that those potions needed to be drank before they even entered the in-depth research stage... Of course, none of them planned to try it.

"I'm surprised you guys guessed that."

Dumbledore once again showed an unexpected look: "You guessed it right, it was indeed set up by Voldemort to let a living being with a soul drink those potions. It is the fastest way to pass that level. Apart from that, almost any traditional method No magic means can shake the potion. And this also means that the potion contains the secret of the soul. This is why I want to convene the top wizards in the world to study them together - this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to explore the soul. Chance."

"I see."

Avada responded while picking up the Hufflepuff golden cup from the table and holding it in her hand: "Then what I want to say is, Professor, I may have found a way to transfer those potions in advance. , the way to directly get the Horcrux underneath...is this golden cup."

Dumbledore's eyes lit up, as if he had realized something.

"This golden cup contains a fragment of Voldemort's soul,"

Avada stared at Hufflepuff's golden cup with emotion on his face - in fact, he came up with such a wicked solution on a whim. When he verified that this method was feasible, even he was surprised: " So, in a sense, it can be regarded as a 'life with soul', similar to the diary from last year. And it happens to be in the shape of a cup..."

“The most important thing is that Hufflepuff’s golden cup was enchanted by Helga Hufflepuff herself, giving it an almost unlimited capacity and being able to hold more food and drinks for easy transportation at that time. so……"

"Mr. Ken,"

Before Avada could finish speaking, Dumbledore completely understood what he meant, so he interrupted Avada directly, with an anxious look on his face for the first time: "Can you go out with me now? ?”

"Of course it's convenient, Professor."

"Great, you've been a big help, Mr. Ken...Fox."

Dumbledore took the golden cup and put it in his arms along with Ravenclaw's crown, while extending his hand to Avada: "Let's go to the Horcrux Cave immediately."
