A broken Hogwarts

Chapter 136 Tom's Guess

"Actually, Hai Erbo is the one who led me on the road of dark arts." Owen said with a smile, "Last year he controlled the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts in the school and sneaked into Hogwarts for the purpose of Get the Philosopher's Stone that Dumbledore hid here."

"The Sorcerer's Stone?" Tom raised his eyebrows, showing interest, "Nicole Flamel is willing to give it to someone else for safekeeping?"

"Maybe it's because he feels that he can't keep the Philosopher's Stone alone, or the immortality that the Philosopher's Stone can bring to him has almost reached its limit." Owen said casually, "You know, the Philosopher's Stone can't make people truly immortal..."

"So I have adopted a method that is more effective and reliable than the Sorcerer's Stone to pursue eternal life." Tom raised his chin slightly.

Owen nodded in agreement. If what Tom just said is completely true, Horcruxes, the way of immortality, is really excellent.Horcruxes are difficult to destroy, and they are extremely concealed. After the main body overturns, it can still exert subjective initiative and find a way to revive the main soul.And no matter how many times the main soul dies and is resurrected, the Horcrux will not be consumed. This is completely different from concepts like phylactery. Although resurrection is not so convenient, it is definitely good at keeping the master alive.

If it can cooperate with the preset resurrection method, Voldemort will indeed be very puzzled.But he probably believed in his own powerful power very much. He didn't expect that death would come so suddenly. He didn't even achieve the original purpose of making six Horcruxes, let alone arrange any means of resurrection. That's why he became so embarrassed .

In addition, this guy has traces of the choice of the Horcrux and the hiding place, but he was picked out one by one by Dumbledore, a fanatic fan.After finally surviving Dumbledore to death, Harry was so lucky that he found the remaining well-hidden Horcruxes, and finally completely capsized in the gutter.

"Hey, it turns out that Voldemort is also very unlucky." Owen silently commented on Voldemort's bloody and tearful car accident history, while reaching out to caress the soft and real embroidered tablecloth on the long table of the guest of honor, and then turned over and sat on it.Tom was still tilting his head and waiting for the next sentence, not knowing that the person opposite him was slandering him.

"I met Hai Erbo not long after I entered school last year, and I was taught by him for a while..." Owen put his hands on the table, thinking about his words, "He taught me the Dark Guardian, and Some not-so-difficult black magic, I don’t know what his purpose is, so it stands to reason that I can’t help him too much.”

Tom rested his chin on one hand and looked at Owen thoughtfully, with a faint light flashing in his eyes.

"During the process of contacting him, I have been trying to figure out his details." Owen swayed his feet slightly, looking at the candles floating under the ceiling, "I found that he is not really alive, or Well, he was actually plotting to come back to life. He controlled that professor in a certain way, not with the Imperius Curse, but as if possessing him, but usually there is no trace of it..."

"I didn't know how he did it until the end of the semester when he drove the professor to steal the Philosopher's Stone, and he disappeared completely." The corners of Owen's mouth rose slightly happily, and then he returned to his calm expression, "I I think he has never been able to fight Dumbledore, or was taken advantage of by other forces. In short, the professor disappeared. I don’t know if he died or escaped. The Philosopher’s Stone is also missing. Stolen by the mysterious organization of the 'Ethereal Society'..."

"But for me, Haierbo's shadow seems to have dissipated." Owen's expression suddenly became heavy, "But what I didn't expect was that this year Haierbo sneaked into the school again, controlled my classmates, and seemed to be staring at the school. fucked me."

"I finally discovered his secret. By inquiring about the controlled student, I learned that he once wore a special... necklace." Owen nodded his chin, and emphasized with emphasis, "Exactly, I I know that professor had that necklace around his neck last semester."

"That's why I started looking for relevant information and guessed that it was Hai Erbo's Horcrux." He looked at the pensive Tom. "It's a pity that the necklace has been hidden, so it's hard for me to find it."

"If the real situation is as you can see, that necklace should be a Horcrux." Tom agreed with Owen's idea with a serious face.

"But things have become a lot more complicated. Haierbo seems to have controlled not just one person, but several people..." Owen briefly talked about the experiences of several Weasleys, and then said: "I don't know that he sneaked into the What is the school for, but I'm afraid he will come to me again soon and show me his hidden fangs... I don't think Hai Erbo taught me black magic just out of appreciation, he must be calculating something, I can't Sit and wait."

Tom frowned more and more tightly, with a trace of hesitation and gloom on his face, and finally said calmly: "Your approach is right, I think he really has other plans for you-you have fallen into it from the very beginning. over his calculations."

"Oh?" Owen put on a look of wanting to hear more.

"You may not know that your physical condition is very special." A trace of well-hidden greed and longing flashed in Tom's eyes, "It is very attractive to those who have the ability to possess, and is very suitable for being possessed." They possess and control, and they use your body to show stronger strength..."

"This may be the change brought to you by the Dark Guardian... I haven't studied this magic in depth, so I can only rely on guesswork." Tom squinted at the shadow dancing leisurely beside Owen.

"Hairbo probably needs a body or identity that can truly move freely. After all, he is a remnant soul in a Horcrux. It is difficult to control a body that does not belong to him for a long time, even if he has absorbed enough vitality... But you are different." Tom looked at Owen with concern and said, "Don't be tricked by Hai Erbo, Owen."

"Is that so?" Owen mused while pinching his chin with one hand.It turns out that this particularity in him can still be felt, even though he has taken effective measures to prevent himself from being possessed by evil spirits.

In this case, it seems very suitable for deceiving people.If he moves a little bit on himself, can he trap the soul body possessing him and stuff it into another container?Will he be able to capture a Voldemort Pokémon by then?
Owen's expression became more and more interested, and he silently added this topic to the research list.

"So, Tom, you have been getting close to me some time ago, maybe it's because you sensed my specialness and wanted to possess me?" Owen suddenly looked at Tom with a gloomy gaze.

"In the beginning, I did have such an idea. You know, my purpose is to absorb vitality and resurrect the main soul. I must use everything that can be used. To you and me, a few lives are nothing, right?" Tom readily admitted this, and said lazily, "But then I found out that this wouldn't work. You're too cautious, and you're not worth the gain. So I dismissed the idea."

"Look, if I still have plans for you, I won't tell you the whole thing, will I?" He said softly, with a leisurely smile on his lips.

"Yes, but you are more afraid that I will be possessed by Hai Erbo, and then you will fall into that guy's hands." Owen looked at him playfully, "I'm afraid your end will be miserable by then, as an unscrupulous and evil A powerful dark wizard, Hai Erbo will probably be happy to study a wild Horcrux."

"This is indeed my concern. We are two grasshoppers on the same rope." Tom said softly, with a faint expression on his face.

"Ha, then I'm relieved." Owen shook his feet and looked at the starry sky on the ceiling with a smile. "Speaking of which, this place looks very real. Can you change the surrounding environment to other places? For example, Versailles palace?"

"Great proposal, do you want me to take you around the world here?" Tom turned his head and stared at him with bright black eyes.

"Then please." Owen sat up straight all of a sudden.

"Don't even think about it." Tom hugged his shoulders angrily, with a look of swallowing his anger, "It takes power to transform these things, and I haven't absorbed much vitality at all."

"That's a pity." Owen laughed, and then said seriously: "Tom, do Horcruxes have the ability to control people's hearts like the Imperius Curse? How many people did Hai Erbo secretly control?"

"The common characteristic of Horcruxes is to absorb life force, and after reaching a certain level, they can possess and control a body for a short time, but that is not controlling a person's mind, nor can it control two people at the same time." Tom shook his head. Said, "But the creators of the horcruxes will definitely take measures to protect their horcruxes and cast some powerful spells on them. Haierbo may use a very advanced black magic..."

"However, it is extremely difficult to control multiple people at the same time." He talked with bright eyes, "Even if it is a healthy and powerful wizard, the number of people who can be controlled by the Imperius Curse at the same time is limited, let alone one. A horcrux with limited power."

"So, if Hai Erbo didn't master some powerful spell that no one knows, then he must borrow other sources of power to use this ability." Tom said confidently, "I'm more inclined to be created by him." The necklace of the horcrux itself is a powerful magic item related to thinking and consciousness, he only needs to use the magic spell to make the most of the situation, and he can use this power to control people's hearts!"

Owen nodded in surprise, and couldn't help but want to applaud.Tom's guess was not bad at all. Ravenclaw's crown has the magic power of increasing people's wisdom. Isn't it a powerful magic item about thinking?

Yes, that's it, come on, Tom!He looked at Tom with burning eyes, looking forward to the other party's next guess.

Tom did not live up to Owen's expectations. He stood up and walked slowly, analyzing with a serious face: "And this ability must be limited, and the number of people he can control is definitely limited. Although it is difficult for you I know how many people are controlled by him, but..."

He looked at Owen with a smile: "Although I can't help you directly find another extremely concealed Horcrux, but based on my understanding of the characteristics of Horcruxes, I happen to know a remote magic spell that allows you to identify those who are hidden. He controls people."

"Of course, this needs to be done after you help me absorb a certain amount of vitality." Tom had a happy smile on his face, "This is the correct way to cooperate, isn't it?"

"But what's the point of finding those controlled people?" Owen raised his eyebrows, "You know, although the Horcrux needs to absorb life force, it doesn't necessarily absorb the life of those controlled by him. That is to say, It's not necessarily on those people."

"If that Horcrux is hidden in some hidden place... I'm not sure if the Imperius or Legilimency spells will work on those who are controlled, you know, control spells will conflict .Once my investigation fails, it will only make Haierbo fully alert, and then hide deeper, or take more radical measures."

This is also one of the reasons why Owen has not rushed to startle the snake. Of course, the biggest reason is that Voldemort's matter has little to do with him, it is the work of Dumbledore and the savior.But when Tom told him that the Horcrux would slowly restore all the memories of the main soul, Owen knew that he could no longer stay out of the matter-what if Voldemort came to him again after recovering his memory?
"No, the effects of such a spell on a person are not permanent," replied Tom.There was a bright brilliance in his eyes, and his words and deeds were very charming and persuasive. "That is to say, even if the Horcrux is hidden, those under control will inevitably touch it regularly to consolidate the effect of the control spell."

"As long as you find those people, I believe you will always be able to find the clues of that Horcrux." He looked at Owen, "Or am I overestimating your ability? I don't mind guiding you step by step... "

"Thank you for your enthusiasm. I don't think I'm that stupid." Owen said with a smile.

Tom smiled indifferently, and continued: "There is another way to find that Horcrux—if you find that someone is possessed by Hai Erbo's remnant soul instead of being controlled by his mind, then he is in You must have touched that Horcrux before being possessed."

"You can try to trace that person's previous actions..." He shrugged again, "Of course, this method may be difficult to implement."

Owen clicked his tongue in agreement, but Hogwarts can install a few surveillance cameras...

"Your proposal is very meaningful to me." Owen looked at the other party meaningfully, and said with emotion, "If I really succeed in uncovering that Horcrux, you will be the biggest contributor, Tom."

Tom will tell him so much, it seems that he really doesn't want to fall into Haier's hands.

"I don't want to be a hero, you just need to remember to give me vitality." Tom said calmly.

"Of course, I won't forget." Owen pursed his lips, "By the way, Tom, you are so good, I don't think you will be an unknown person, right? Why have I never heard of your name? ?”

"Who are you?" He propped his chin with one hand and tilted his head slightly.

"Since my name has not been circulated in the wizarding world, I am indeed an unknown person." Tom looked at the Slytherin flag fluttering in the hall with a calm expression, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have been killed."

"Oh——" Owen jumped off the long table, looked up at the sky, "I should go out."

The two looked at each other, and there was a very similar expression in the same black eyes.For a split second, the world spun and Owen felt himself plummeting, landing on an armchair in the common room.

He opened his eyes, touched the head of the kitten Lizi who had been squatting beside him and staring at him intently, then leaned back in the chair happily, and put away the diary on the table.

"Great job, Tom." He looked darkly at the crackling flames in the fireplace, and couldn't help laughing.

Owen smiled for a while, raised his hand to cover his lips, and began to analyze the purpose of Voldemort in the crown coming to Hogwarts.After learning some of the characteristics of Horcruxes, some things became obvious.

Since it is impossible for the remnant soul in the Horcrux to be truly resurrected, he must be silently absorbing vitality and slowly recovering his memory until he remembered the location of the main soul.Before that, he must prepare a means of resurrection, which may be the purpose of his coming to Hogwarts.

"Did he really focus on Harry?" Owen frowned, "Wait, I seem to have overlooked one point... Voldemort, who created the crowned Horcrux, should be at the time when he was most ambitious and confident , can’t be judged by the man who has wandered alone in Albania for more than ten years, even if they have the same 'self', the difference in memory must have a great influence."

"At that time, he would have believed that his main soul would have been wandering alone for more than ten years, without being found by any of his loyal followers? I'm afraid not." Owen lightly tapped the armchair Handle, "At that time, he would give up the best method of resurrection, and choose the method he is not willing to accept? No, that is the choice that Voldemort, who lost his patience after more than ten years of waiting, would make."

"Then, the best way to resurrect...the Philosopher's Stone? Did he know that the Philosopher's Stone was hidden in Hogwarts last year?" Owen thought carefully about what happened last year.Although the secrets of the Philosopher's Stone are only known to the professors and members of the study group, Peter Pettigrew, as a mouse, could easily hear some secrets, especially when Hermione and Neville were members of Gryffindor.

"Suppose he knew that the Philosopher's Stone was once hidden in Hogwarts, would he want to investigate where it is now and get it? After all, Voldemort in the crown should not know that his main soul was here Even if he knew about the Philosopher's Stone, he probably wouldn't think that he would give up using the Philosopher's Stone so easily for a perfect resurrection."

"In this way, his contact with Harry may not only regard Harry as a candidate for resurrection, but also may be investigating the Aether Society? After all, my setting for the Aether Society is to regard Harry as an important research object."

Owen stroked his lips with his fingers, and suddenly raised the corners of his mouth: "If that's the case, it's kind of interesting."

He watched the tentacles of the giant squid passing by outside the window, and yawned lazily.
