Chapter 251 The Purpose of Horcruxes

The room is very big.

It is called a garbage mountain, but it is actually composed of many garbage mountains piled together.

Snape and Dumbledore walked on the path between two garbage mountains... It is hard to imagine that there are so many garbage piled together in Hogwarts.

"How is this done?" Snape looked around.

Legend has it that the Room of Requirement can meet any needs of people. According to the information obtained from Andy, the Room of Requirement does have such ability.

If it is just Transfiguration...

But these garbage are real, they can be taken out.

"This is the magic of magic."

Dumbledore said: "Even if I have studied for more than a hundred years, I can't peek into all the mysteries of magic."

After a pause, Dumbledore continued: "I just walked farther than all the wizards in the world, but there is still a very long distance to the end. Maybe... no one has ever been able to reach that end."

Snape stopped talking.

The end of magic is indeed a long distance that cannot even be seen.

After walking around the room, Dumbledore said calmly, "If the dark magic item is really hidden here, it is very likely that someone has taken it away."

"Who do you think it is?" Snape asked.

Snape thought of Andy, but he didn't think Andy was that stupid. One of Voldemort's Horcruxes would definitely not be able to do anything to Andy, that annoying guy.

Dumbledore was silent for a moment.

The diary was a Horcrux made by Voldemort in his fifth year.

But the one in the Room of Requirement was definitely a Horcrux made by Voldemort after he became an adult, and it has a more powerful power.

With the ability of the little wizard, it is absolutely impossible to resist Voldemort's bewitchment.

Of course, there is no evidence to prove this yet.

But if this is true...

I'm afraid Hogwarts will not be peaceful next.

"Severus, it seems that we have to strengthen the protection of the little wizards." Dumbledore said.

This old guy...!

Recently, Snape has lamented more than once that Dumbledore seems to be less reliable than Andy Collins.

Andy is very smart and terribly sharp.

He found the location of the Room of Requirement... Snape even suspected that if Andy wanted to, he could even find Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets.

A few months ago during the summer vacation, Andy noticed Dumbledore's plan.

After school started, Andy also noticed his own plan.

He even investigated the Horcrux!

Take this attack as an example. Andy thought of the Room of Requirement at the first time.

Originally, Andy's strength was a little bit worse.

Well, it was much worse.

But Andy improved the Patronus Charm.

Snape had seen the principle of the Patronus Charm and the photo - the photo (video) of Andy using the Patronus Charm to fight against others.

Very powerful magic.

Should we consider cooperation...

This idea just came up, and was decisively extinguished by Snape.

Cooperating with Andy Collins... It's better to die.

"Severus, let's go out!" Dumbledore said.

Back in the headmaster's office, Snape and Dumbledore stared at each other in silence.

Although there was no evidence, they had basically determined that Voldemort's Horcrux was hidden in the Room of Requirement and was taken away by a little wizard.

But the clues were cut off here!

Unless the little wizard who took the Horcrux exposed himself, it would be difficult for them to find that person in the castle.

The most important thing is...

Snape asked in a deep voice: "The Horcrux should contain fragments of the Dark Lord's soul, right? He controlled a little wizard, what do you think he wants to do?"

Dumbledore looked up in astonishment, "Severus, you..."

"Horcrux?"

Snape said lightly: "That's not a secret."

Dumbledore was silent for a moment and didn't continue to dwell on the matter.

Since Snape already knew about the Horcrux, whether he made a Horcrux or not was no longer something Dumbledore could control.

Snape was not a person who listened to advice.

Before he made the Horcrux, Dumbledore couldn't do anything to Snape.

"Resurrection, and then replace the main soul."

Dumbledore said: "Horcrux is a very dangerous black magic. When the main soul is strong, the split soul will fall into a dormant state. But when the main soul is weak, the split soul can sense it."

"He absorbs vitality in order to reshape his body, and then devours the main soul to make himself a new Voldemort."

Resurrection?

Snape thought, but he was still a little puzzled, "Then why didn't he kill the little wizard?"

Dumbledore said slowly: "Maybe... he doesn't want Hogwarts to close!"

When Voldemort was in the fifth grade, he stopped killing because he didn't want to see Hogwarts closed.

Snape frowned and said: "If he left Hogwarts, his space for activities would be larger than it is now."

In particular, if he left Hogwarts, he wouldn't have to face the greatest wizard of the 20th century in front of him.

Dumbledore looked out the window quietly.

Indeed, things are no longer the same as they were back then, and Voldemort should not have any scruples.

Unless... he has other purposes!

"Harry!"

Dumbledore looked at Snape fiercely, "The Horcrux contains only fragments of Voldemort's soul. He doesn't know how his main soul failed."

"So he must be very curious about Harry!"

"How did a baby who was less than a year old defeat such a powerful Dark Lord?"

Snape's face suddenly became extremely ugly.

This is the most likely speculation.

While recovering strength, he can observe Harry and, by the way... he can also play with the greatest wizard of the 20th century in front of him.

"I'll go and see!" Snape said hurriedly.

"Severus, don't worry."

Dumbledore said calmly: "Voldemort will not attack Harry so soon. We still have time. And... Voldemort can't hurt Harry."

Snape looked at Dumbledore, he needed an explanation.

"The magic left by Lily has been protecting Harry from harm."

Dumbledore explained: "That is the power that Voldemort does not understand, and he cannot fight against that power."

Snape: Got it!

So, the real savior is actually Lily, and as for Harry Potter, he is just a tool to exert the power of magic.

Thinking of this, Snape's heart suddenly became very complicated.

His Lily is very powerful, but her love is given to others.

If she loves me, I can also be a savior.

"Severus, you should keep an eye on Harry during this period."

Dumbledore said: "As long as we keep an eye on Harry, we will definitely find the person controlled by the Horcrux."

Snape nodded slowly.
