Chapter 265 Hey~
While the house elf went to inform Professor McGonagall, Dumbledore, who had decided to protect the cat, took Fish and checked his confession with him to prevent the little kitten from accidentally spilling the beans.
The principals on the wall all had expressions of contempt. Fox landed on his perch and buried his head under his wings, out of sight.
"Albus, are you looking for me?"
After a while, a mane-headed Professor McGonagall opened the door and walked in.
After seeing Fei Xu, he immediately frowned.
"Fish? What trouble did you get into again?"
"Feixu didn't cause any trouble, meow!"
(●`ω●)
The little cat protested angrily: "Fei may be... Grandpa Albus called me here!"
"Ahem," seeing that Fish almost had a problem with his first sentence, Dumbledore quickly took over the topic and explained to Professor McGonagall: "That's it, Minerva, I already know how Voldemort controlled it before. Ginny opened the secret room, and because it involved the secret room and the basilisk, she called Fish over. "
Since Dumbledore was going to be blamed for finding the diary, Fish had to change the reason for coming to the principal's office. This was also the excuse that the two men had just discussed.
"Oh? What's going on?"
Minerva reached Dumbledore's desk in a few steps and rubbed Fish's cat's head as an apology.
"The Horcrux, it was Voldemort's soul in the Horcrux that controlled Ginny to open the secret room, so we have never been able to find the so-called 'intruder'," Dumbledore replied with a solemn expression: "My previous guess was not wrong. "
"Grandpa Albus, Minerva is already here. Can you tell Fish what the Horcrux is? Meow? Fish didn't even understand what you just said!"
(●ω●)
Fish tugged at Dumbledore's sleeve impatiently.
Dumbledore turned his attention to Professor McGonagall.
Professor McGonagall naturally understood what the other party meant. She frowned and stared at Fish with some hesitation in her heart. She did not want Fish to be exposed to such evil knowledge.
But like Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall also knows the curiosity of the little fur cat Ephesus. If he doesn't tell him, there's no telling what trouble this little guy might cause...
So after thinking for a while, Professor McGonagall finally sighed helplessly and took the initiative to explain to Fish: "Horcruxes are items created by dark wizards to store soul fragments in order to make themselves immortal. This is a very evil black magic."
Professor McGonagall squatted in front of Fish and said with a very serious expression: "Every time you make a Horcrux, you need to kill someone, so Fish, you absolutely must not learn anything related to Horcruxes!"
"Fish knows, Feish will be obedient, meow."
Seeing Professor McGonagall telling him so solemnly, Fish quickly nodded his head.
Gently patting Fish's little head, a smile appeared on Professor McGonagall's serious face. She still trusted Fish in this aspect. The little fur cat was usually naughty, but he had a kind heart. But he has always been kind.
"So, Albus, where are Voldemort's Horcruxes? Have you taken care of them?"
Professor McGonagall stood up and turned to Dumbledore to ask.
"I just found his Horcrux before I had time to destroy it," Dumbledore shook his head and replied: "Horcruxes are not that easy to destroy, and... I want to ask about Tom's Horcrux. Something."
Dumbledore narrowed his eyes. Based on Voldemort's character and the changes in his personality and appearance, as well as the soul fragment in Harry's scar, Dumbledore was sure that Voldemort made more than one Horcrux, so he wanted to See if you can ask something from the Horcrux in the diary.
Although this diary is probably the first Horcrux, and it is not known what the subsequent Horcruxes will be, his thinking is consistent with that of Voldemort when he grew up.
And judging from the diary's ability to actively communicate with people, Voldemort planned to use this Horcrux as a "weapon" from the beginning. Obviously, he didn't seem to care that much about the safety of the diary.
Therefore, Dumbledore guessed that before Voldemort made the first Horcrux, he already had a relatively clear plan to make multiple Horcruxes, otherwise he would not have made the first Horcrux into something that could directly Horcruxes of communication.
So, even if the soul in the diary doesn't know the location of those Horcruxes later, it still has certain considerations about the tools it chooses later, and should be able to get some clues from him.
Anyway, the diary was already in trouble, and with him watching from the side, even if he couldn't find out anything, this Horcrux wouldn't be able to cause any trouble, so Dumbledore felt that it was still worthwhile to give it a try.
"Asking about Horcruxes?" Professor McGonagall frowned again and asked in a suspicious tone: "Is it possible that Voldemort's Horcruxes will tell you the truth?"
"If it's another Horcrux, it probably won't work..."
A proud smile appeared on Dumbledore's face, then he took out a small black notebook from his pocket and waved it in front of Professor McGonagall's eyes.
"But when Voldemort made this Horcrux, he specifically gave it the function of direct communication. His soul fragments communicated with Ginny through this diary, and then used it to control her to open the Chamber of Secrets. And we can completely In turn, use the diary to get some secrets from him."
"Is this diary Voldemort's Horcrux?"
Professor McGonagall stared at the black diary in Dumbledore's hand with a lion's face.
"Yes, I have confirmed that this is Voldemort's Horcrux, and this should be the first Horcrux he made," Dumbledore stroked his beard and sighed, "Tom was only sixteen years old at the time... He should be the best student in the history of Hogwarts... It's a pity that such a talented student went astray."
"You mean... Voldemort has more than one Horcrux? In addition to this diary, have you found other Horcruxes?"
"No, I only found this diary. It's just my guess that there is more than one Horcrux, but this guess... is very likely."
Dumbledore sighed again. If possible, he would rather guess wrong, but unfortunately, the probability is too low.
"Really? Albus, you only found this diary..." Professor McGonagall narrowed her eyes and asked casually, "So, where did you find it?"
"It's... in the pile of pipes outside the Chamber of Secrets."
Dumbledore noticed that Professor McGonagall's attitude seemed a little strange, but he still subconsciously answered according to the confession he had agreed with Fish before.
Then he saw a sneer suddenly appear on Professor McGonagall's furry face.
"But, if I remember correctly..." Professor McGonagall narrowed her eyes and said slowly, "I saw this diary in the pocket you gave to Fish during the Christmas holidays..."
Dumbledore's smile froze, and he immediately turned his head to look at the little cat next to him.
⊙ω⊙
The little cat blinked his eyes, and when he heard Professor McGonagall talking about it, he remembered this incident...
When Professor McGonagall confiscated his polyjuice potion, he carefully turned his magic pocket, and this diary was also in it at that time.
"......Hey~"
(●●)
Fish touched the back of his head, stuck out his tongue at Dumbledore, and then avoided his sight very skillfully.
Dumbledore: "......"
"Ahem... Actually, I can still explain it..."
Fish, that little jerk, can't be relied on. Dumbledore cleared his throat and tried to struggle.
However, after meeting Professor McGonagall's cold eyes, he opened his mouth and finally turned all his excuses into a long sigh——
"I'm sorry, Minerva, I was wrong."
