Mastering Lightning from Hogwarts
#792 - Let him go? (Seeking monthly ticket recommendation)
“Oh…” Ginny carefully took the holy water, her timid appearance making the little girl look pitiful.
Seeing this, Anduin couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, “Alright, stop frowning. Instead of feeling guilty, you might as well spend more time on your studies. I can't always be there in time.”
Then, Anduin waved his hand and restored the room that had just been smashed to its original state.
“I have to deal with Voldemort now. Remember what I just said, keep it strictly confidential.”
“Understood.” Ginny nodded obediently, but then couldn't help but ask curiously, “Is that Dark Lord immortal? He should have committed suicide during the Ministry of Magic's public trial.”
“The matter is very complicated, now is not the time for you to know.” Anduin didn't want to explain the details of the Horcruxes to too many people, “But you don't need to worry too much, Voldemort is nothing to be afraid of.”
“That's right!” Ginny suddenly changed her expression, looking at Anduin with admiration, “As long as you, Godfather, show up, wouldn't he have to surrender obediently?”
“You…” Seeing Ginny's face change so quickly, Anduin was a little worried about how much of what he said she had actually listened to.
After earnestly instructing Ginny several times again, Anduin disappeared and returned to the main castle through the Gryffindor common room.
After all, this is a school, and he wouldn't use such crude space magic to travel unless it was an extremely urgent situation.
Moreover, directly tearing through space and teleporting is quite a burden on him, and the magic power consumed is not something ordinary wizards can bear.
Although the accident that just happened was thrilling, it was also a blessing in disguise, resolving one of Anduin's concerns.
After all, in his subsequent plans, he had to completely control this annoying guy first. Originally, Anduin was planning to take the time to find him, but who would have thought that Voldemort would come to his door himself.
“But the commotion just now was a bit loud. The little wizards might not notice it, but Dumbledore must have discovered something.” Anduin pondered for a moment, “Well, it seems I should go talk to the old man first and explain the Horcrux matter clearly.”
……
Inside the Headmaster's office, Anduin explained what had just happened to Dumbledore.
Dumbledore widened his eyes and looked at him in surprise, “Horcruxes? Are you sure?”
“Absolutely sure!” Anduin took out the magic box containing Voldemort, “In fact, apart from this, I had previously obtained another Horcrux of Voldemort's, and the Resurrection Stone was also taken from it.”
“Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?” Dumbledore glanced at Anduin with some reproach. He had heard of the evil magic of Horcruxes a long time ago, and had previously suspected whether Voldemort's secret of immortality was related to it, but he had no evidence. He didn't expect to catch him red-handed now.
“I wanted to tell you after I had investigated it clearly.” Anduin pushed the magic box in front of Dumbledore, “How many Horcruxes Voldemort has made, and where they are hidden now, these questions will cause chaos if they are publicized.”
“Well, you're right to consider that.” Dumbledore nodded, “It seems that completely destroying Voldemort will probably not be possible in a short time. By the way, have you destroyed his first Horcrux?”
“Not yet.” Anduin slowly shook his head, “I want to try to study it to see if there is a way to find other Horcruxes along with it. In addition, some of Voldemort's memories are also stored in the Horcrux. I think I might be able to get some information from it.”
“Good, I will also think of ways through my own channels.”
Dumbledore sighed after saying that. Involving Horcruxes, the complexity of the matter is much greater. If Voldemort has a lot of Horcruxes, then this will be a big project.
Then the old man turned his gaze to the magic box in front of him. For some reason, he always had a sense of déjà vu about the scene before him.
“Heh, I didn't expect you to appear again so soon.”
Dumbledore shook his head, feeling quite absurd. He was really impressed by Anduin now. Who would have thought that Voldemort, whom he once regarded as the greatest threat to the wizarding world, is now like a little chick, letting Anduin catch him again and again.
It seems like it's only been a few months since the last time he saw Voldemort, but now he's popping up again, and it's the same box, the same table, the same room.
“Tom? Long time… oh no, it hasn't been a while, how have you been?” After opening the magic box, Dumbledore greeted him across the soul-binding rope.
For some reason, Dumbledore's expression looked very annoying at this time.
“Hmph…”
The Voldemort in the diary was like an aggrieved little wife at this time. He was too lazy to say anything other than a cold snort, because he had experienced the same encounter once before, and he knew that Dumbledore couldn't say anything good.
Dumbledore shook his head helplessly when he saw this, then closed the box again, looked up at Anduin, “It seems he has gotten used to his current situation. What are you going to do next?”
“Let's imprison him first.” Anduin rubbed his chin and murmured, “According to the information obtained so far, once Voldemort chooses to commit suicide, his soul will transfer to the next Horcrux in the order of creation.”
“That is to say, if the current Voldemort chooses to commit suicide again, he will jump to another Horcrux I own.”
“It seems he is completely under your control.” Dumbledore shook his head with a smile. He suddenly felt that Voldemort was quite pitiful, turning around and around in Anduin's hands.
“But what if he commits suicide twice in a row?” Anduin was not as optimistic as Dumbledore, “No one knows where the third Horcrux is now. At that time, he might really regain his freedom.”
“So what's your plan?” Dumbledore raised his eyebrows, seeming to realize Anduin's implication. The other party was obviously preparing to completely solve this hidden danger.
“I have been studying soul magic recently.” Anduin tapped his fingers lightly, “I want to try to obtain useful information from Voldemort's soul.”
“But the question is, what if we can't get this information? After all, Voldemort is also a master of dark magic and will not let me pry into his heart.”
“So?” Dumbledore raised an eyebrow, seeming to realize Anduin's idea.
“Perhaps…” Anduin considered for a moment and continued, “We can consider letting him out and letting him lead us to find those Horcruxes.”
“Let him go?” Dumbledore pondered for a long time, then raised his head hesitantly, “But how are you going to lock down Voldemort's location?”
Dumbledore was no stranger to the trick of using a long line to catch a big fish. After all, he used this trick to deal with Quirrell in the previous school year.
But the premise of doing this is to have the confidence to completely control the situation, otherwise it will only turn into letting the tiger return to the mountain.
Faced with the formless and qualityless Voldemort, even Dumbledore couldn't imagine how to determine his location in real time.
“This has to do with my recent discoveries.” Anduin took out the Resurrection Stone from his arms, “I have gained some insights into the study of the Deathly Hallows. When they are combined, they seem to be able to fundamentally change the physical and soul form of life.”
“If it is aimed at ordinary souls, there is really no way to do anything to him, but if the soul is transformed into that special form, perhaps some means can be used.”
“Oh? Are you sure?” Dumbledore had not asked Anduin about the progress of his research on the Deathly Hallows all along, but he didn't expect the other party to really have gained something.
“I have a certain degree of certainty, but I have to wait a while longer.” Anduin thought for a few seconds and opened his mouth again, “Before the end of this school year, I should be able to fully master the Deathly Hallows, and then I can conduct preliminary tests. If it succeeds, this Dark Lord will no longer be a threat.”
“Hopefully.” Dumbledore was still quite afraid of Voldemort, “But before that, you should not disturb Voldemort, otherwise it is likely to cause him to escape our control.”
“Don't worry, I won't bother him in the near future, wait for my good news.” Anduin smiled slightly, and then carefully put away the magic box.
“Yes.”
Seeing Anduin preparing to leave, Dumbledore asked curiously, “By the way, does that special form transformed from the Deathly Hallows have a name?”
Anduin turned his head, slightly raised his mouth, “Hehe, I call it 【Wraith】.”
“Wraith…” Dumbledore repeated a few times in his mouth, and Anduin had quietly exited the Headmaster's office at this time.
After leaving Dumbledore, Anduin slowly returned to the office, and at this time Draco was still sitting blankly on the sofa, looking helpless.
“Professor!” Seeing Anduin finally appear, Draco stood up a little restrained, “Just… what happened to you just now? Did something big happen?”
“Indeed, something changed, but it has nothing to do with you.” Anduin smiled gently, “Don't worry, the matter has been perfectly resolved by me and Dumbledore, but I hope you can keep the previous matter a secret for me, can you?”
“Yes, I understand!” When Draco heard that Dumbledore was also involved, he tactfully closed his mouth. Although he was very curious about what happened, it was obviously not something he could participate in.
“Alright, it's getting late, you should go back early.” After saying that, Anduin also pointed to the reception table, “In addition, I'm very sorry for delaying you here for so long. You can take back anything you like here as a gift for my apology.”
“You must not say that…”
Seeing that Anduin was so polite to him, Draco was a little embarrassed instead, so after he humbly said a few polite words, he carefully exited the room.
After seeing Draco leave completely, Anduin's expression became extremely cold again, “Hogg!”
“Yes! Master, what are your orders?” Hogg, who had been hiding in the dark, rushed out excitedly when he heard the call.
“Did Draco do anything out of line after I left?”
“No, that kid was very honest just now, but I think he should have been scared by you, he didn't even dare to move.”
Hogg replied honestly, and then tentatively asked, “Master, the thing you ordered before, will it continue to be carried out?”
“No need.” Anduin shook his head, “Draco is still relatively clear-headed, at least not as stubborn as his father.”
Hogg curled his lips a little boringly, and then asked, “What about Lucius?”
“I'll talk to him, I'll go now.”
“Now?” Hogg raised an eyebrow, “It seems he made you unhappy.”
“Heh.” Anduin grinned coldly, “It can't be said that I'm unhappy, I just happen to be in a bad mood and want to find someone to beat up.”
It was because of Lucius that so many bad things happened in the school, and Ginny was almost injured because of it. It is impossible to say that Anduin didn't care.
With Anduin's decisive personality, he is not someone who does not take revenge. Since someone has provoked him, he must let the other party know the consequences.
Then Anduin did not delay and left Hogwarts directly through the door.
……
Late at night, inside Malfoy Manor.
Lucius, who had just finished a wizarding family banquet, had just returned.
His mood has not been beautiful recently, because the matter of Lucius scolding Voldemort at the public trial a few months ago has long been well known.
This has caused many pure-blood wizarding families who once followed the Dark Lord to classify him as unfriendly, or even an enemy. After all, he was once Voldemort's most loyal servant.
And those wizarding families who were originally opposed to the Death Eaters never regarded Lucius as one of their own from the beginning, and would not change their views on him because he refuted Voldemort a few times.
So for a time, the Malfoy family became a loner and was ostracized by almost all wizarding families.
This situation made Lucius so nervous that he couldn't sleep at night, especially offending those pro-Death Eater families, making him afraid that he would be killed one night.
To this end, he spent countless energy in these months constantly traveling, only to slightly ease some relations with those families through communication or exchange of benefits.
If it weren't for this broken thing, he wouldn't have to socialize until midnight every day, and he wouldn't have to humble himself in front of the people of the Peculiar family.
“It's all that damn Anduin's fault!” Even after returning to his own home, Lucius couldn't help but curse.
If it weren't for him, how could he have been so unlucky recently?
Not only did he become enemies with all the wizarding families, but he also had to guard against the Ministry of Magic's surprise inspections, forcing him to rush to deal with those dark magic items.
Thinking of this, Lucius couldn't help but turn to the family vault again. He had to confirm again whether all the loose ends had been cleaned up.
But when he opened the vault door, an unexpected figure suddenly came into Lucius's eyes.
