All the changes in the world begin with Tom Cat

Chapter 110 Closed-door meeting
After defeating the Dark Lord, the Triwizard Tournament officially ended.

However, due to Voldemort, the final ownership of the Goblet of Fire has not yet been determined. Dumbledore also suggested postponing a commendation meeting after a week, at which time the final winner will be determined and announced.

Bagman also accepted this proposal. After all, something unexpected happened midway, and the principals of their Ministry of Magic and the other two schools still needed to ask Dumbledore what happened.

After all, at the end of the game, Harry and several others were teleported to an unknown place.

Everyone saw this scene with their own eyes, and they couldn’t hide it even if they wanted to.

So Dumbledore started a closed-door meeting with the principals of the two schools, the professors at Hogwarts, and officials from the Ministry of Magic, mainly to tell them about the Death Eaters.

"This is impossible! The Dark Lord is dead!"

Old Batty categorically denied it, and he no longer wanted to mention that man again.

"Mr. Crofinch, it's not up to you to decide whether it's possible or not. You don't know, right? There is such an evil black magic."

Having said this, Dumbledore picked up a book with a black cover and a line of conspicuous large characters written on it - "The Secret of Cutting-Edge Dark Arts".

"This evil spell can split a person's soul into several parts and hide them in objects. Even if the body is destroyed, he can still return from hell because the other parts of the soul are not lost."

"The object that carries the soul fragments is called a Horcrux, but"

Dumbledore waved his hand, and the pages of the book suddenly turned, showing the page about the Horcrux.

"To make a Horcrux, a wizard must commit murder, which is the most evil act. The process of making a Horcrux requires the use of spells, and the making process needs to occur immediately after the murder."

As soon as the words fell, everyone fell into shocked silence.

Among them, Ms. Maxim looked at Dumbledore solemnly.

"Is this true? Did Voldemort really use such evil magic?"

When she said this, her voice trembled slightly, as if she had touched an unspeakable taboo.

"Of course, everyone, you are all well-established figures in the magic world, and there is no need for me to lie to you."

"Wait a minute, Principal Dumbledore, although what you say makes sense, do you have any evidence to prove all this?" Old Barty interjected.

Dumbledore smiled slightly when he heard this: "Of course, old friend, it's time for you to show up."

Squeak!
The office door was opened.

A ridiculously fat man with a tall head walked in, with a silver beard so thick it could almost be compared to a lion.

This man is Professor Horace Slughorn, who once taught Potions courses at Hogwarts.

"Oh ~ long time no see, Dumbledore."

"Long time no see." Dumbledore nodded to him.

Horace looked at the eyes directed at him and walked directly between them without any panic.

"Hello everyone! I'm Horace Slughorn!"

Originally he didn't want to come to this meeting, but when it came to Voldemort and Horcruxes, he had to come.

Although Horace is a bit vain, he still has good intentions.

In the previous Wizarding War, he knew that he told Tom Riddle, who had not yet become Voldemort, about the Horcruxes, but was considered an accomplice.

In order to avoid the dark forces, I have moved many times over the years.

So, after seeing the letter Dumbledore asked Fawkes to give him, he struggled for a long time before deciding to come.

Because everything should come to an end now.

He also wanted to end this frightening life.

Ever since, Horace told everyone about his dissolution and conversation with Tom Riddle during his tenure at Hogwarts, including an introduction to Horcruxes.

He was shocked when Riddle asked him about how to make Horcruxes.Because the production of Horcruxes is a taboo, this kind of evil magic is a taboo that wizards must not touch.

It's like a drug. Once you take it, it will make a wizard's ambitions wildly expand.

Everyone was shocked and frightened after listening to Horace's narrative.

I am shocked that there is such evil witchcraft in this world, and I am afraid that Voldemort will return again because of this?

"In that case, Principal Albus, the reason why you came to us here is that you probably have a way to deal with it, right?"

Ms. Maxim asked, looking at Dumbledore.

To be honest, when she heard Dumbledore say that defeating Voldemort was about cat and mouse, she felt that this world was too outrageous.

Is this a great shame for the Dark Lord?

Okay, don't worry about that. The important thing is that even if the Dark Lord has been defeated, he still has the Horcrux. As long as the Horcrux is not found and destroyed, he will still be resurrected and come back.

Except for Dumbledore, no one dared to imagine that Voldemort would return.

They don't want to experience that kind of darkness and fear again.

"Yes, although Voldemort made Horcruxes, from my previous encounters with him, I learned that he made seven Horcruxes in total."

"Seven? Where are these seven Horcruxes?" Durmstrang's principal asked hurriedly.

"Don't worry Igor, just listen to me."

Igor also calmed down.

"Of these seven Horcruxes, I currently have four in my hands."

"Four? You found four Horcruxes?" Horace exclaimed.

"Yes, they are Tom Riddle's diary, Slytherin's locket, Hufflepuff's golden cup and Raklawen's diadem. The diary used a snake in a fight with Riddle. The monster's fangs have been destroyed, and of all of them, there are still three that are effective."

Dumbledore nodded.

Then, Dumbledore displayed the other three Horcruxes and injected them with magical power.

A cloud of black mist floated out, forming the shape of young Tom Riddle.

Everyone present was shocked when they saw it: "This is..."

"This is Voldemort's soul fragment. Now I use magic to reveal it. Originally, I wanted to use these three Horcruxes to find the remaining Horcruxes, but there is no need to keep them now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Dumbledore reached out and directly dispersed Tom Riddle's phantom, turning it into three soul fragments and falling into his hand, and squeezed them gently.

The soul fragment in his hand suddenly shone brightly, causing the people in the room to narrow their eyes.

"Do not!!!"

An angry roar nearly spread throughout the room.

But not long after, as the light gradually dimmed, the sound also disappeared.

"Just now?"

"It's just Voldemort's struggle before leaving." Dumbledore responded calmly.

Four of the seven Horcruxes have been removed. In addition to Harry, there is also Gaunt's ring that Sirius is about to bring.

"But what should we do with the three Horcruxes now?" Horace asked.

"You don't have to worry about this. Something is already on its way."

Dumbledore smiled mysteriously.
