The Real Hogwarts Chapter 94 Four Relics
Horcrux.
The most evil black magic that Voldemort relied on to achieve immortality in the original book .
It can split the soul of the caster through killing and store it in another dead or living object. The thing that stores the soul fragments is called a Horcrux.
As long as not all the Horcruxes are destroyed, the person who created the Horcruxes can be immortal and can be resurrected even if hit by the Killing Curse.
In history, anyone who created a Horcrux was already extremely evil, but Voldemort made a total of seven under his subjective consciousness, and with his pride, each of these seven Horcruxes was an extremely special item.
What were now placed before Jon were the four relics left behind by the four founders of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
The sword of Gryffindor, the locket of Slytherin, the diadem of Ravenclaw and the cup of Hufflepuff!
Of these four relics, except for the Sword of Gryffindor which has been hidden in the Sorting Hat, the other three are Voldemort's Horcruxes.
Staring at the four relics placed on the desk, Jon's breathing began to become rapid.
The world has changed, but the point where the world line deviated was the night when Voldemort heard the prophecy and was going to kill Harry Potter. However, three of the four Horcruxes in front of him had all been made before this time point appeared.
In other words, they are most likely still Voldemort's Horcruxes! They are the key to his immortality!
Horcruxes are generally difficult to destroy, and coincidentally, the fangs of the basilisk that John just killed are one of the quickest weapons to destroy Horcruxes.
He could even hold the sword of Gryffindor. As long as the sword was slightly contaminated with basilisk venom, it could also become a weapon to destroy Horcruxes.
This was a great opportunity, as if it was a gift from God to reward him for his bravery and wisdom.
Jon didn't know when he had walked to the desk and stared at the four relics. He took a deep breath, as if he was ready to pick up the four relics...
However, the next second he walked around the table without hesitation.
Jon didn’t know whether God would reward the brave, but the reward before him was definitely not given by God.
This is the Hogwarts Castle under the control of Voldemort. He is in Voldemort's office. He just defeated the basilisk that Voldemort ordered to guard here. These in front of him are also the relics placed here by Voldemort himself.
Place your most precious and life-threatening things in a place that can attract the enemy's attention, and prepare all the weapons to destroy them.
The killed basilisk and the Horcruxes on the table could not be gifts from God, but were most likely a trap set by Voldemort!
It has been more than a year since John was brought into the wizarding world. After understanding Voldemort, he is very clear that Voldemort is definitely not a fool.
On the contrary, the policies of the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts under his rule are enough to show that he is smarter than most people.
Would a smart person do such a thing?
John gave up decisively on these things that looked like Horcruxes. This world was no longer the magical world he originally knew. He could rely on some information he saw from the original book in his previous life for help, but he could not rely entirely on the original book.
Moreover, his fundamental purpose of coming to this castle this time was not these Horcruxes.
He walked around the desk and, following the location Dumbledore had given him, soon found a spiral staircase leading upwards in the office.
The successful killing of the basilisk did not make John feel relaxed at all. He knew very well that the death of the basilisk was just the beginning. The things Dumbledore wanted from him would definitely have more than just this little protection.
Holding the wand, Jon carefully stepped onto the spiral staircase and went up.
…
Inside the magnificent banquet hall, well-dressed wizards and witches were enjoying a Christmas ball that only the most elite wizards could attend.
If someone randomly picked up a stone and threw it down from the second floor, there was a high probability that it would hit a senior official in the Ministry of Magic or a director of a well-known company in the wizarding world.
But the person who was hit would only give a friendly smile to the naughty kid or the young man with a provocative look on his face who threw stones on the second floor, because the one who could go to the second floor was the real confidant of that gentleman.
Dolokhov was one of these confidants.
At this moment, he was standing beside Voldemort with high spirits. The handsome man who always looked young was chatting with a fat old man with two walrus-like beards with a smile on his face.
"A teacher is a teacher after all. Since you came to the Department of International Magical Cooperation, the Ministry's foreign export trade has been much smoother in the past six months than before. The last time the French Minister of Magic came to see me, he praised me as a true gentleman."
Slughorn still had that smiling face. Nearly half a year had passed, and he seemed to have not changed at all from when he first came to Voldemort's side.
"It's actually very simple to deal with these people. Invite those in charge of the French Ministry of Magic to host a banquet, open a bottle of fine red wine, and talk about the past glory of the wizarding family. Some business and policies can be negotiated in this way."
“So these rubbish under my command will never learn your methods.” Voldemort turned his head and glanced at a wizard who was standing behind him with his back bent. “He is obviously born into a noble family, but he acts like a street thug in his daily life.”
The burly former Director of the Department of International Magical Cooperation just touched his head and smiled awkwardly, making it seem that what Voldemort had just said was actually a compliment.
Ever since Slughorn returned to the right camp, this old man of distinguished birth and status has become the core of the core. Except for Voldemort, other wizards of all status would bow their heads and call him "Mr. Slughorn".
After the Christmas dinner began, Voldemort had been chatting and laughing with his former teacher. They talked about the teacher-student relationship in Hogwarts. Slughorn seemed to be in high spirits, and was full of nostalgia for the castle that he had not returned to for a long time.
Voldemort also saw his mood and introduced him to the faculty and staff currently working in the castle.
Snape , Barty Jr. and others are old acquaintances, so there is no need to introduce them in detail. The people Voldemort called were all students who were not so outstanding before.
"…Scott is an excellent school doctor. The Lestrange family has many talented people, and he once worked as a doctor at St. Mungo's. He has done a very good job as a school doctor in the castle over the years."
