Chapter 696 Horcrux

"why me?"

After Harry quietly listened to the prophecies about himself and Voldemort, he asked blankly: "I mean, according to you, that person could be Neville, right?"

"You forgot the next part of the prophecy. The boy who can defeat Voldemort has one of the most important identity characteristics...Voldemort himself will mark him as a powerful enemy." Dumbledore explained.

"And he did, Harry. He chose you over Neville. He gave you this scar that turned out to be both a blessing and a curse."

"But he might have made the wrong choice! He might have marked the wrong person!"

Harry suddenly panicked. He just wanted to contribute to the elimination of Voldemort, but now Dumbledore said that he was the one who could really defeat Voldemort, which made Harry feel a little confused.

Dumbledore sighed. If possible, he didn't want to put these things on Harry so early, but it was still unclear whether he could recover, so he had to prepare early.

Fortunately, with Feixu here, even if he really died, there would be someone who could confront Voldemort head-on.

He glanced at the cat who was disapproving of the prophecy and was playing with his tail in boredom, and thought to himself.

Dumbledore looked at Harry again and explained: "He chooses the people he thinks are most likely to pose a threat to him. Please pay attention to this, Harry. He chooses not pure-bloods, but people like him." Same mixed race."

He tapped the lightning-shaped scar on Harry's forehead with his finger, and continued: "Voldemort saw himself in you before he saw you. When he marked you with that scar, he didn't look like him. Killing you like that actually gave you strength and a future... like your Parseltongue."

"Why did he do this?" Harry said, feeling cold and stiff all over. "Why did he want to kill me when I was a child? He should wait until Neville and I grow up to see who is more dangerous. Then try to kill that person..."

"Yes, that is probably more feasible," said Dumbledore: "But Voldemort's understanding of the prophecy is incomplete. Don't forget, I once told you that the eavesdropper only heard the beginning of the prophecy Part, that is, a boy will be born at the end of July whose parents have resisted Voldemort three times before he was thrown out of the Hog's Head."

"Therefore it is impossible for him to remind his master that attacking you will transfer his power to you and mark you as his powerful enemy. So Voldemort has no idea that attacking you will be dangerous. He should wait patiently and learn more about the situation. . This is why Voldemort wants to obtain the prophecy ball now. He thinks that the second half of the prophecy can tell him how to kill you... and in fact it does."

Dumbledore sighed again, then looked at Harry calmly with his deep blue eyes.

"But...but how should I defeat him? Voldemort is so powerful...why not Fish? He has defeated Voldemort several times." Harry asked with a confused expression after calming down.

"It's Meow! Harry is so weak! He can't beat Voldemort's Meow!"

(`н)

The cats on the side also gave up. Voldemort was obviously his prey, how could he leave it to Harry, a weakling?

"It's useless to just defeat Voldemort," Dumbledore shook his head and said, "This kind of thing is not difficult for me. Even the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic can do it by taking advantage of their numbers."

Then he saw the contemptuous look in Feishu's eyes next to him...

(ω)

Cat, who had beaten many Aurors, was very skeptical.

"Ahem..." Dumbledore changed his statement, "Well, probably... there is a chance..."

Even Harry didn't believe it now.

"Well, let's talk about Voldemort." Dumbledore quickly changed the subject. "If you want to effectively eliminate him, you have to mention an ancient and evil black magic - making Horcruxes."

"Horcrux? What is that?" A new term appeared, successfully diverting Harry's attention.

"That is an ancient and cruel black magic, and it is also the reason why we have been unable to destroy Voldemort..." Dumbledore explained to Harry in a low voice what kind of existence a Horcrux was.

"Every time you make a Horcrux, you need to kill someone...and it is almost impossible to destroy..." Harry's pupils shrank suddenly, and he suddenly remembered the time in the second grade when he was attacked by a group of magical creatures in turn without any... Broken black notebook.

"Could it be that……?"

"Yes," Dumbledore nodded and said, "That notebook is one of Voldemort's Horcruxes, and I guess it should be the first Horcrux he made."

"One of...?" Harry's mind was a little stiff.

"Of course, you see, that diary has been destroyed by us, but Voldemort can still be resurrected. This is the best evidence." Dumbledore shook his head, "In fact, after destroying the diary, I have been tracking down Voldemort's other Horcruxes and successfully destroyed several of them, but..." He shook his head again, looking quite helpless.

Harry also had a solemn expression. He had actually thought about it before. Why were Fish and Dumbledore so cautious when they could compete with Voldemort...

Now he finally understood the reason. If Voldemort and his Horcruxes could not be eliminated at once, he would keep coming back, so it was completely meaningless to defeat him temporarily.

After Feishu pondered for a while, he raised his head and said with bright eyes: "So that's it, Meow? Then Feishu doesn't have to worry about accidentally beating him to death, Meow?"

(ω)

"Huh?"×2

Dumbledore and Harry both looked at the suddenly happy cat with confused expressions.

So Maomao explained to them his "Voldemort Bounty Plan" with great interest...

"It's just that Minerva doesn't seem to agree with what Fish is doing...it's all about making money, so what's the difference?"

(〃｀3〃)

Maomao folded his hands, pouted, and muttered in dissatisfaction.

Being interrupted by Fish, the originally serious atmosphere suddenly became relaxed. Dumbledore chuckled twice, and then said seriously: "But in this case, other people will still be in danger. Even if Voldemort loses With such power, it is not something that ordinary wizards can compete with... just like the original Professor Quirrell, poor Bertha Jorkins and old Barty."

"There is also an old Muggle man." Harry couldn't help but add: "I once dreamed about the scene when Voldemort was killed before he was resurrected, and the flashback spell also appeared on him."

"So, for the safety of others, we must completely eliminate Voldemort." Dumbledore said softly but firmly.

"Oh well……"

(ω)

Fei Xu sighed regretfully and could only give up his idea of ​​making easy money.

Then Dumbledore got back to the point...

"Harry, do you remember the dream about Arthur being attacked?"

"Remember..." Harry nodded confusedly and asked curiously: "Any questions, Professor?"

"So, do you still remember the original perspective?" Dumbledore reminded: "Although Voldemort once possessed himself on Quirrell, it was because of his state at the time, so you can see it from the snake's perspective. Seeing all this, the greater possibility is that..."

"It's also a Horcrux!" Harry said in surprise.

"That's right," Dumbledore nodded, apologetic in his eyes flashing, "So I guess the reason why the prophecy says that you are the only one who can defeat Voldemort is because only you can find all of Voldemort's Horcruxes. and destroy them all.”

Regarding Harry's situation, he chose to hide it after thinking for a long time, because Dumbledore had already made some guesses about how to solve the problem, but he could not tell Harry this guess now.

"But...if that's the case, why do you still let me practice Occlumency?" After being excited for a while, Harry fell into confusion again.

"Learning Occlumency does not prevent you from seeing a little bit of Voldemort's side when he is emotional." Dumbledore explained: "It just prevents Voldemort from receiving information from you and in your head. Create an illusion.”

Harry thought of the illusion he had dreamed about not long ago and seemed a little embarrassed.

But he quickly adjusted and asked: "Then how should we find the Horcrux next?"

"I guess that maybe the inexplicable connection between you and Voldemort can be sensed when you are close to the Horcrux... Didn't you have a similar feeling when you saw the diary?" Lido stood up and his voice became lighter.

"So next, we just need to collect clues, and then search for places where Horcruxes may be hidden... However, these are currently my tasks. When I find the existence of suspected Horcruxes, I will let you confirm it. Okay. Of course, you may be able to 'see' the hiding place of a certain Horcrux from Voldemort."

He winked from Harry playfully, then lifted his legs and walked towards the town in the distance.

"Now, just follow me to meet someone for now."

"Who are you going to meet, Meow? The new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, Meow?"

(ω)

Maomao followed excitedly and asked loudly: "Can Fei beat him?"

"Oh... no," Dumbledore waved his hand, "because I am going to hire him to be the Potions Professor."

"Potions? What about Professor Snape?"

Harry also became excited. Although he learned Occlumency from Snape, the relationship between the two still did not improve.

"Severus..." Dumbledore shrugged helplessly and said, "He has always wanted to be the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, and he wants to recruit someone from outside who is willing to teach this course. It’s too difficult, so…”

Upon hearing the news, Harry's mood fell instantly, but when he thought that none of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professors had been there for more than a year, he started to look forward to it again.

Maomao, on the other hand, frowned in distress and said, "If it were Severus, it would be hard for Fish to take action, meow..."

Voldemort's situation is actually quite similar to that of the Overlord. He only knew the first half of the prophecy, and then tricked himself to death for the second half.

And their mortal enemies have all inherited some of their abilities, although one is actively taught and the other is passively given.

However, compared with Xiongba, Voldemort seems to be a bit weaker. The background settings are different, and it is difficult to compare their strengths. But whether in terms of strategy or courage, Voldemort is far inferior to Xiongba.
