Chapter 367 The Second Horcrux

"It is certain that this thing is also a Horcrux." Dumbledore pondered, his fingers gently tapping the table, looking like he was really thinking about something.

Fan Lin found an excuse to find Dumbledore after coming out of the Room of Requirement.

The Horcrux left by Voldemort is too dangerous, just like the diary last time, which can manifest souls with power. Fan Lin cannot let such things do evil.

"Ravenclaw's diadem," Dumbledore said lightly, "how did you find him?"

Dumbledore stroked the marks on the diadem with his fingers, where a sentence believed by all Ravenclaws was engraved-"Extraordinary wisdom is the greatest wealth of mankind."

"You know, this thing has disappeared for centuries, and only Helena knows the clue, that is, the ghost of Ravenclaw. Now we should call him Ms. Grey. She is the daughter of Rowena Ravenclaw."

"This is something I didn't expect, Headmaster." Fan Lin said, now he can lie without changing his face or heart, which is a good progress.

"In fact, I only found him in the Room of Requirement, and Tom was the one who found it. When it was found, the crown had already been made into a Horcrux."

"Found him?" Dumbledore asked.

"Yes, through the pain of Harry's scar." Fan Lin said. Fan Lin believed that Dumbledore must have known about Harry's affairs. It didn't seem strange that the Horcruxes had induction with each other.

"What about Harry? Does he know?" Dumbledore frowned rarely. Looking for Horcruxes through Harry would undoubtedly reveal something.

"No, Professor." Fan Lin said. He knew what Dumbledore was interested in.

"This Horcrux has not been destroyed yet." Fanlin said, "I think we need to destroy it first."

"I'm sorry, I haven't found a way to destroy the Horcrux yet. In fact, except for the Ravenclaw diadem and the diary in front of me, I haven't found any Horcruxes at all, and the number of Horcruxes is uncertain."

"Maybe we can use that." Fanlin said confidently, his finger pointed to the sword of Gryffindor lying quietly in the glass cabinet. Harry killed the guardian beast left by Salazar Slytherin with this sword, and the sword itself can only absorb powerful things.

"This?" Dumbledore said, and he flipped his hand, and the sword of Gryffindor appeared in his hand.

"That's right, professor." Fan Lin nodded, "In fact, the fangs of the basilisk can also be used, that is, the basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets, but only Parseltongue can pass through the magic circle left by Salazar Slytherin, and we don't have the key to the door."

"Oh, right." Dumbledore said, "I almost forgot about these things."

"The blade can only be attached to powerful things, and the venom of the basilisk happens to be a means of destroying Horcruxes. Harry destroyed the diary with the fangs." Dumbledore nodded, and he could now confirm what to do.

"We destroy it here?" Fan Lin asked. In fact, he wanted to say that the Fiery Curse could also do it, but it was better to keep this kind of black magic in his stomach.

"Right here." Dumbledore said, and with a wave of his hand, the magic circles hidden in the principal's office were all activated in an instant.

Fan Lin couldn't recognize what these magic circles were at all. They shared runes with each other and overlapped with each other. If someone fought with Dumbledore here, then as long as Dumbledore activated these magic circles, he would be invincible here.

"This is the defensive magic circle of Hogwarts." Dumbledore said lightly, "This is the safest place."

"I believe it, professor." Fan Lin nodded. At a glance, there are basically hundreds of magic circles hidden here.

If these magic circles can be activated when Voldemort attacks Hogwarts, Hogwarts will never be easily broken by Voldemort.

However, the person who controls these magic circles can only be the headmaster of Hogwarts. This should be something that only the headmaster can succeed. Otherwise, Professor McGonagall would not only send out the guardian statue of Hogwarts.

In fact, in the final battle in memory, Hogwarts' own magic defense system has completely perished with the death of Dumbledore and Snape's false betrayal.

The magic barrier is only supported by the joint spells of everyone, which is easy and pleasant for Voldemort.

"Come on, let's see what Tom left here." Dumbledore said, he controlled the sword of Gryffindor.

As the finger gently fell, the tip of Gryffindor's sword gently pierced the gem in the center of Ravenclaw's crown.

In an instant, the shrill wailing filled Dumbledore's office. The headmasters and principals did not dodge, and everyone stared solemnly at Rowena Ravenclaw's crown.

As expected, Tom did not disappoint everyone. The broken soul was accompanied by a ball of black air that swept out from the gem in the center of the crown, as if some incredible monster was released.

The black air kept rolling and soon formed the head of Voldemort. The cold and evil breath broke out in an instant, and the table where the crown was placed was also corroded by these breaths at the same time, as if it had been infected by a long time.

"Be careful, he should attack us." Dumbledore said, his palm pressed down lightly, and the runes around him formed a silver cage in an instant.

What happened next was that Tom Riddle's soul wanted to attack the two of them and forcibly hit the magic circle.

However, it was only a fragment of soul, and it had been separated from the Horcrux it relied on. Now only a little residual power of the soul was left.

Even Voldemort himself would find it difficult to break free after being controlled by Dumbledore with a magic circle, let alone some residual power.

Mastering the method, it was no longer a difficult thing for Dumbledore to destroy the Horcrux.

Just as Fan Lin was thinking, Voldemort's struggle came to an end, but Dumbledore did not want him to completely die. Fan Lin saw that Dumbledore seemed to try to wrap the fragments of the soul with magic.

However, this work was futile. The real soul had been destroyed when the Horcrux was destroyed. This was just some of Voldemort's defensive measures.

Dumbledore seemed to have recognized this point, and he seemed to be very regretful. (To be continued)
