Unbehaved Hufflepuff

"Lumi, I hope Harry doesn't know about this."

He seemed to be pleading.

But Lumi shook his head and said, "Sorry, Professor, he already knew."

As early as last year, after it was confirmed that Harry was a Horcrux, Lumi told him about it when the military gathering at Hogwarts was dismissed one day.

Although he didn't say that he was a Horcrux, he used the diary to tell Harry what a Horcrux was.

This is why Harry was so surprised when he found out that he was also one of the Horcruxes during the battle in the Department of Mysteries.

Professor Horace smiled absently, slumped in his chair and said nothing.

"Professor Horace, the purpose of my coming today. Firstly, to confirm my conjecture, and secondly, I want to know how many Horcruxes he has made."

Lumi opened his hands and counted: "The diary, Hufflepuff's golden cup, Slytherin's locket, Ravenclaw's diadem, Harry Potter."

"I wonder if he has any other Horcruxes."

"Do you have any clues?"

I don’t know if it was the effect of the elixir of happiness, or if Horace didn’t want to say anything more.

He pointed the wand at his head and pulled out something white.

He put the thing into a small bottle and gave it to Lumi.

"There is a pensieve in the principal's office. It allows you to see my memories."

"Everything I know is here."

Lumi took the bottle and nodded.

He went to the principal's office and, with McGonagall's help, buried his face in the pensieve.

He saw Voldemort as a student through a third-person perspective.

At that time, he didn't look that scary. From Lumi's perspective, he looked handsome.

In his memory, he seemed to know something. His tone was calm and his eyes did not waver when he spoke.

"How to split a soul, Professor?"

"Don't you already know?"

"kill."

"Yes, killing someone will split your soul, because it goes against the laws of nature."

"Can it only be divided once? Can it be divided seven times?"

"Seven times? Oh my God, Tom. Isn't it evil enough to want to kill a man? You want to split his soul into seven."

After saying that, he comforted himself in his mind and said tentatively: "This is just a theoretical hypothesis, right?"

Tom smiled meaningfully and said, "Of course, Professor, this is a secret between us."

Then, the memory stopped abruptly.

Professor Horace's memory ends.

Looking up from the pensieve, Lumi couldn't help but fall into thinking.

Voldemort wanted to split the soul into seven parts.

This is where things get interesting.

Counting Harry, there are currently five known Horcruxes of Voldemort.

What are the other two?

And in my memory, Voldemort seemed to have a diamond-shaped ring on his hand. The few times I saw him after that, he didn't have such a ring on his hand.

It was easy to say that he didn't have it when he was first resurrected, but he should have been fully prepared for the Department of Mysteries time.

But he still didn't have the ring on his hand.

Then things get interesting.

Lumi guessed that the ring was most likely one of Voldemort's Horcruxes.

Otherwise, why would a ring that has been worn since school days not be worn again if it is not lost?

If you take a step back and think about it, it doesn't matter if the ring is accidentally lost.

Even if the ring is not a Horcrux, there is no harm in giving it a try.

Analyze it according to normal logic.

For an arrogant student who has mastered magic that is inaccessible to his peers, the first thing to do is to find a hidden place to experiment.

At that time, Voldemort seemed to have owned the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets.

In this way, there is a hidden place.

He would definitely complete that experiment in the secret room.

The necessity of making Horcruxes in school was to kill people, and the only student who died that year was Myrtle.

The cause of Myrtle's death was being stared to death by the basilisk's eyes, which did not meet the necessary condition of being devoured by ghouls, so Voldemort could only cut off a lot of his own soul, thus barely meeting the standards for making a Horcrux.

The formation of the first Horcrux was not very successful, but because of Myrtle's death, everyone in the school was in danger. Even though the nominal culprit Hagrid was captured, the students became more vigilant.

This left him unable to find an opportunity to strike.

But in the next vacation, he will definitely make Horcruxes again.

So the key to the question is when will he make a Horcrux.

Lumi had a deep intuition about his ring.

However, certification is still required.

He thanked McGonagall and returned to the Potions office again.

This time, he asked Professor Horace for every year of Voldemort's memories.

Especially the memories around the holidays are particularly important.

When Lumi returned to the principal's office with a pile of bottles, Mag was speechless.

She seriously doubted whether the other party had snatched away all Professor Horace's memories.

Some pity the old professor Horace.

Lumi read the memories bit by bit in the pensieve.

There are not many memories after the third grade. Lumi always paid attention to the ring on Voldemort's hand.

Finally, at the end of the fifth grade and the start of the sixth grade, Lumi discovered that the other party's ring had disappeared.

Since then, all Professor Horace's memories of Voldemort have been devoid of the ring.

Lumi also asked him just now, but unfortunately Horace didn't know what the ring was and just thought it was an ordinary ring.

After so many observations, Lumi discovered that the other party's ring was engraved with the symbol of the Deathly Hallows.

But Lumi only felt that Voldemort had carved it himself.

How could the ring be the last Deathly Hallows Resurrection Stone?

Voldemort can't be that stupid.

Even if you think of the Deathly Hallows as a Horcrux, how could you not bring it with you?

Resurrection Stone, no matter what, Voldemort must carry this thing with him, even if it is a Horcrux.

Turn the Resurrection Stone into a Horcrux and throw it aside?

Lumi didn't think he would do something so stupid.

Even if he used the Resurrection Stone to raise an army of corpses that were not afraid of death, Lumi would not find it strange.

How could Voldemort do such a stupid thing as picking sesame seeds and throwing away watermelons.

Therefore, this ring must not be the Deathly Hallows. The symbols on it must have been engraved by him or his ancestors to fool future generations.

Thinking about it this way, there is a 99% chance that the ring was made into a Horcrux by Voldemort.

Making Horcruxes requires killing people. During the holidays, the Horcruxes must be made in his hometown.

The clues were there, and after Lumi said goodbye to Mag again, he came to the Transfiguration Office the next day.

He asked Andy to check the news about Voldemort during the summer of 1946, hoping to find information about the people who died at that time.

This will narrow the scope of your search.
