Study Days at Hogwarts

"It's really boring. If I had known better, I wouldn't have come here."

At this moment, in a house next to the safe house, dozens of members of the Defense Association who had followed Kingsley were patiently waiting for the results.

"Do you think they will fight?"

"Don't say stupid things. If we really fight, our side won't have the advantage."

"I don't think those Aurors can stand up bravely and join us in resisting the mysterious man."

Everyone actually knew Kingsley's plan, otherwise there would be no need for them to follow him, but it was hard to say whether they could force the group of Aurors to join.

"How do you think Harry will convince them?"

"who knows."

Everyone's whispers were interrupted by a "crackling" sound, and Harry appeared out of thin air holding the house elf.

He was immediately surrounded by everyone, and the bored people asked so many questions that Harry thought there were flies flying into his ears.

"Quiet!"

Cedric raised his voice to drown out the noise around him.

"Harry, why are you alone, and where are Hermione and Ron?" he asked with a frown.

"Hermione and Ron are removing the effects of the compound potion. I'll come over first to deal with the situation here, and we'll meet up at Hogwarts later."

It was impossible for Harry to come here with someone else's appearance. Fortunately, Albert had prepared a method for them to remove the compound potion in advance, but the process was a bit troublesome.

"It seems that you succeeded there."

Although Cedric didn't know what Harry and the three were going to Gringotts for, it was definitely an important part of defeating the mysterious man. The success of the three men made him relieved, indicating that tonight's operation was still progressing in an orderly manner as planned.

"Yes, we succeeded. What's the situation here now? Kingsley hasn't convinced those Aurors yet?"

After destroying Hufflepuff's golden cup, Harry completely let go of the burden in his heart. After all, he only had to die generously to complete his mission.

"Kingsley is still in the safe house, I guess they are still waiting for you." Cedric was actually very curious about what method Harry would use to lure those Aurors into the water.

To be honest, Cedric actually looked down on those cowards, but as Albert said, it was necessary for them to bring them along before the decisive battle with Voldemort, because that could greatly improve the strength of others. Survival rate.

No matter how powerful the Defense Association is, it only has about forty people. It doesn't have much advantage when facing a huge number of dark wizards.

Therefore, it is important to attract allies (cannon fodder).

"Hermione and Ron are leaving it to you." Harry turned to Dobby and said, "I still need some time."

"Dobby knows, Dobby will come back later to pick up Harry Potter!" the house elf said sharply.

"Let's go too."

After Dobby left, Harry turned to let Cedric lead the way.

The location of the safe house was very secret, but fortunately Cedric knew how to get in, but the atmosphere inside was very bad, and it seemed that the two sides were in a tense situation.

In fact, we can't blame them. Anyone who sees Harry showing up with about twenty armed young people will subconsciously be on guard.

"It seems that you haven't reached an agreement?"

Harry said hello to Kingsley, which was the first to break the heavy atmosphere here.

"Waiting for you to come over, where are Hermione and Ron?"

Kingsley was relieved by Harry's presence, as it meant that tonight's actions were still being planned.

"They're going to Hogwarts first."

Harry looked at the Aurors staring at him, and was not intimidated by being stared at by this group of people.

"Kingsley said you would convince us?" an Auror suddenly said.

"It's never difficult."

As he said that, Harry ignored them and instead looked sideways at Cedric. The latter immediately understood what Harry meant. After hesitating for a moment, he led the members of the Defense Association to guard outside the safe house.

Although many people were curious about what Harry was going to say, they still followed Cedric and exited the crowded room.

After all, they all knew that Harry was probably going to use some tricks to lure the Aurors into the water, and he probably didn't want to cause trouble to them by not letting them know.

After the door was closed again, Harry turned his attention to the Auror again, showing a know-it-all expression, "I probably know what you are hesitating about, but I think Kingsley should have told you that we A way to kill Voldemort has been found."

"There is no doubt that my partners and I are working hard to kill Voldemort. There is no doubt that the plan went smoothly."

Before the other Aurors could speak, Harry said meaningfully: "Of course, if you want to know, I can't tell you. I just don't know if you can bear the weight of the truth."

"Harry, time is precious now, so just tell me directly." Kingsley also wanted to know this secret.

"Say it, don't make it mysterious." The Aurors pricked up their ears.

"The reason Voldemort was able to survive was because he created some Horcruxes."

"Some what?"

"Some Horcruxes, you probably don't know what the so-called Horcruxes are." Harry looked at the confused people and briefly explained to everyone: "A Horcrux is a kind of black magic container. It has the same function as the name, used to hold souls. .”

"To put it simply, part of a person's soul is separated from the body and stored in a container. When he is killed, the main soul can still survive with the help of the separated part of the soul, and can be reborn through some evil means. Resurrection. You may have guessed that I just went to destroy one of Voldemort's Horcruxes."

"Wait, did you just say something?"

Harry nodded.

"You mean we have more than one Voldemort to deal with?"

"To be precise, there are six Horcruxes. Even Voldemort himself has seven."

This number is undoubtedly disappointing.

"So, we still need to destroy five...horcruxes?"

"No, Dumbledore and I have destroyed five Horcruxes, and the last Horcrux is hidden in Hogwarts Castle." Harry looked at the frightened Aurors, "At present, Hogwarts It is within our control. I need you to delay for me, find and destroy the last Horcrux and destroy it. Once Voldemort hides the Horcrux again, we will never have the chance to kill him. "

"You already knew it, why didn't you destroy it?"

"We need that Horcrux as bait to lure Voldemort to Hogwarts. Otherwise, once the guy realizes that all his Horcruxes have been destroyed, he will hide and it will be difficult for us to kill him. Chance."

Harry guessed what these people were thinking, and explained with a sigh, "This is also the main reason why Dumbledore was unwilling to tell Scrimgeour. Who made the Ministry of Magic's secrecy work very poor? Once Voldemort knew about it, We won't have any chance anymore."

"However, the time is now ripe. This is the opportunity for the decisive battle that Albert said. I think this should be enough to convince you." Kingsley stared at the group of Aurors in front of him, demanding that they must make a statement.

However, no one answered.

Everyone is weighing gains and losses.

"Actually, you should also realize that since we learned the secret of Voldemort's immortality, we no longer have any choice, because Voldemort obviously does not want anyone to know the secret of his immortality." Seeing that the Aurors were still hesitating. , Kingsley sneered. "You have no choice."

"You did it on purpose." The Auror stared at Harry, feeling that he had been tricked.

"You yourself want to know." Harry shrugged, "I told you before, sometimes the weight of the truth is not something everyone can bear."

"By the way, I would like to remind you, don't try to create Horcruxes. Splitting your soul will only make you a madman, and you are not as good as Voldemort. Even if you successfully create a Horcrux, you probably won't be resurrected after death, and you will end up like a mayfly. Living so humbly, bearing the curse of the Horcrux all the time."
