Volume 9: The reins handed over Chapter 531 Intersection and Compatibility
Just when Jon was reporting on the situation in Grindelwald's office.
After Harry and Neville Ron in this world got to know each other, Lily took him to find the portrait of Slytherin without stopping.
Her greatest hope for solving the problem of Harry's Horcruxes was on Slytherin.
Because it was he who guided Voldemort, who had traveled through time, to reabsorb the originally split soul, and the items that originally stored the Horcruxes did not seem to be damaged at all, and they had all been placed obediently in the headmaster's office in Hogwarts Castle.
Since those things can be solved, there is no problem with Harry's current situation.
Lily and Harry quickly found the place where Dumbledore fell asleep. McGonagall was usually in charge of taking care of this place. The structure was unchanged from before, and the portraits of all the former headmasters were still hanging here.
After they came in, Harry saw Dumbledore lying on the bed with a peaceful look on his face. His breathing was steady and his body was normal, but he was unconscious. He felt inexplicably sad.
No matter which world Dumbledore was from, he did not feel strange to him, and there seemed to be no difference between the two.
"We shouldn't be sad, he's just taking a rest. He's done enough for us and now he needs a rest."
Lily said softly, pulling Harry out of that sour mood.
As soon as they entered the room, the portraits on the wall all turned their eyes to them.
Of course they all knew Lily, and their attention was naturally on Harry, whom they had never seen before.
"Is this your son?"
Delis easily guessed Harry's identity. After all, their eyes were so similar.
"Yes."
Suddenly, the headmasters on the wall exclaimed in amazement, and they began to comment on Harry as if they were watching some rare species.
"Is this the legendary child of prophecy?"
"Let's not talk about that prophecy, because this Sibyl has ruined the reputation of her family."
"But doesn't this prove that her prophecy is correct? The reason this happened in our world is because Voldemort traveled back and changed what was originally planned."
"Well, that proves that Sybil has some real skills."
"You missed a premise. If she can change her bad habit of cursing every time she meets someone, then I can admit that she has some real talent."
Harry didn't feel awkward about their discussion; the portraits of these headmasters were basically the same as those in the headmaster's office at Hogwarts where he was. Instead, he felt a sense of familiarity with their mumbling conversations.
Except for the one who looked very familiar to him. He seemed to have seen him there. The man had been staring at him since he entered the room. The man had a goatee, looked old and frail, and looked more like a monkey.
At this time, Lily had already respectfully called out the name of the person in the portrait.
"Mr. Slytherin, I came here today to ask you to help look after Harry."
When Harry heard Lily's address, he suddenly remembered why he felt that the old man looked familiar.
When he was in second grade, he and Ron had seen his statue in the Chamber of Secrets, and the portrait now looked exactly like that statue.
"I noticed it as soon as he walked in."
Slytherin's voice was not pleasant, and his eyes were always fixed on Harry, making Harry feel as if he was being stared at by some kind of poisonous snake.
"A living person who was made into a Horcrux."
After he said this, the whole room was silent for a moment. The headmasters who were originally chattering and noisy showed dull expressions on their faces. Then their eyes began to light up, and they looked at Harry as if he were looking at some kind of living fossil!
"Humans can be made into Horcruxes?"
“If animals can do it, why can’t humans?”
"So kill him? Kill him to defeat Voldemort? Yeah, that makes sense."
"Shut your mouth! Phineas, no one will think you are dumb if you don't speak!"
Lily did not listen to the headmasters' expressions of shock, but looked at Slytherin seriously and even pleadingly.
"Can you help him?"
“People and objects are different.”
Slytherin's expression was very serious. He looked at Harry with cloudy eyes, and it was unknown what he was thinking.
"People are more complicated, especially wizards with magical powers and normal-thinking souls. Now another soul fragment is entangled with him, and it is obvious that it has not been a short time. They have already established an extremely close connection. It is not an easy task to cut off this connection without causing harm to your son..."
Lily's face suddenly became disappointed, but she also heard that Slytherin did not say it was final. It was not a simple matter, but it was not something that was completely impossible.
Slytherin was thinking, as if he was remembering something.
"But there is a kind of magic that is very interesting. It seems to be able to accurately distinguish between two different kinds of magic, and then absorb part of them. I think this kind of magic may be applied to Horcruxes."
Lily held her breath.
"What magic?"
"I don't know. The person who used it never told me what kind of magic it was. And, it seems that only one person knows how to use it. But the only good news is that this person is on our side."
…
"...Universal spell-breaking magic is far superior to conventional magic, but because it is universal, it has great limitations. However, if the magic power is strong enough and the will is strong enough, then this range will be infinitely expanded."
After listening to John's explanation, Grindelwald had a strange expression on his face .
"It's not the universal antidote that's far beyond the norm, but the kind of spellcasting you mentioned. I can understand wandless spellcasting, but what does it mean to use your body as a wand? So, was your attempt with Albus in another world successful?"
Jon rubbed his chin.
"It seems to have been partially successful, and it's a universal spell-breaking curse. My body seems to be immune to some magic now, and it can also absorb the magic power contained in this part of the magic."
He held up the ring in his hand that was already inlaid with gems.
"Now this ring has become a storage room for these magic powers. After all, there are still differences between magic powers. I can't make other people's magic powers intersect and be compatible with my own."
