Chapter 140
"Where did you find Regulus' body? That time when you traveled through time and space?" Dumbledore asked.
"That time, Regulus...........well, dad wasn't dead yet, in a cemetery on the outskirts of London."
"Yeah, I went to that cemetery too, and I found some interesting things there. Even though there are still some magical fluctuations there after so many years, I still have to thank you. If you hadn't messed around with the timeline, I wouldn't have found this cemetery." Dumbledore said with a smile.
"Why don't you just tell me."
"Regulus, your father is a hero..."
.................................
"You two, come with me!"
Thorne suddenly appeared in the corner of the auditorium, where Draco and Harry were talking about flying brooms, and took them directly to the principal's office.
"??? What's going on?" Both of them were a little confused.
"Because Harry, you, tell me, how long have you been seeing those weird pictures?" Dumbledore said.
"...It has been intermittent since the Quidditch World Cup." Harry recalled and said.
"Well... Before that, you have to know a concept, Thorne, tell them about Horcruxes."
Thorne nodded and said: "By killing people, your soul is torn off and attached to an object. This object is called a Horcrux."
"It sounds very evil." Harry said with a chill.
"Well, it is worth mentioning that this so-called object is not necessarily a dead object, but a living object is also possible." Thorne added.
"So???" Harry still didn't understand, and Draco on the side reacted.
"If killing people will strip off your soul, then that night when Voldemort killed Harry's parents... Although I don't think it should be so casual, combined with the scar on Harry's head and the weird picture he saw..."
"Smart Draco, Harry is also one of Tom's Horcruxes." Dumbledore nodded.
"So... what does it mean?" Harry still didn't understand, or he didn't dare to think clearly.
"It means that if you don't die, Voldemort will not die either." Thorne added.
"...............What should I do?" Harry asked.
Dumbledore took out the Elder Wand and held it in his hand.
"Remember Expelliarmus?" he said.
"Well... Expelliarmus!" A red light flashed, and the Elder Wand spun towards Harry, but was intercepted by a big hand in the middle.
"Huh?"
"Please die for a while."
I saw Thorne holding the Elder Wand and shaking it casually, and chanting to Harry: "Avada eats big melon!"
Harry was hit against the wall by the green arc, and Draco on the side looked at the scene with a confused face.
"What the hell did you do? You just killed someone! Killed Harry!"
"Relax, relax, if we are right, he won't die." Thorne patted Draco on the shoulder and said.
"What are you doing? Why did you call me here?" Draco was comforted by Thorne, and asked with his head supported.
"If Harry really died in the middle of the competition, you will take over and complete the rest of the Triwizard Tournament."
"Is it fake?"
"Of course I'm joking. The truth is that a person with a less powerful soul needs to die temporarily to bring Harry's soul back from a strange place." Thorne replied.
"So... I am the unlucky one?"
"............ Uh-huh."
"How do I go?"
Dumbledore came over and took out a strange and old wand and pointed it at Draco.
"You will have a feeling in the dark, just follow the feeling, and give this to Harry after finding Harry." Dumbledore took out a red rope and handed it to Draco, and then chanted the spell: "Dream of Death."
Draco's body immediately softened, and Thorne saw this and hurriedly helped him to the sofa beside him.
"When can they come back?" Thorne asked.
"5."
"Five hours? Five minutes?"
"4."
"...I knew it."
"3."
"2."
"1."
Bang!
"Dumbledore! Here's your lemon tea!" A house elf suddenly jumped out, put the lemon tea on the table and disappeared.
"Hmm? What did you ask me just now?" Dumbledore took a sip and looked at Thorne and asked.
"......I fucking..."
Thorne hadn't finished cursing when Draco and Harry woke up at the same time.
"Uh, how long have we been dead?" Draco asked as he woke up from the sofa.
"...Seven seconds, or eight seconds."
"Fuck! Even if I want to kill you, why can't you give me another sofa or something! This is too sudden." Harry also sat up from the floor and panted.
"Isn't it okay?" Thorne replied with a smile.
Harry and Draco were quickly sent away by Dumbledore, leaving only Thorne here.
"You seem to have something to say to me." Dumbledore asked.
"Voldemort has a total of seven Horcruxes, the diary, the locket, and Harry, there are only four left."
"How did you know, oh, that's right." Dumbledore murmured, probably attributing the source of this information to the previous experience of traveling through time and space.
"It seems you have an idea. "Dumbledore said.
"Hmm, the third game of the Triwizard Tournament. If I can find all the other Horcruxes before then, maybe I can kill him directly." Thorne said casually while leaning on the sofa.
"How many do you know?" Dumbledore asked.
"Room of Requirement, Hidden Room, Ravenclaw's Diadem, you go to this one."
"I'll go to the other one myself."
Thorn summoned a silk robe and flew out of the window in the blink of an eye.
Little Hangleton Village, Riddle's old house.
Thorne walked into the dilapidated yard, flew in the air and looked around, and found that there were no people around, so he simply waved a flame, and in the blink of an eye, the wooden structure of Riddle's old house was burned to ashes, and then used magic to finally explore the trace of magic...
"Found it."
Thorne took a ring hidden in the ashes and threw it on the ground casually.
"A shocking scam. "Thorne sighed and took out his wand.
"Avada Kedavra!"
[Regarding Regulus...why does it feel a bit...sloppy? It's very simple. I really don't know how to be sentimental. It would be very embarrassing to force myself to write something I'm not good at, so... leave it blank.]
