"... There is no point in making random guesses. Let's assume that the person Harry met in the dream was indeed Dumbledore. If this is the case, it undoubtedly means that it was actually Voldemort who met Dumbledore. .”
"Hmm... Is it really in 'that space'...?"
"When Voldemort met Dumbledore, he was in an extremely powerless state."
"Yes, he should be just an extremely weak soul fragment at present, but even so, it is impossible for him to be unable to even move. Back then, he continued to wander in the Albanian forest for a full ten years... "
"In addition, when Voldemort almost had his soul sucked away by that ancient mirror, I definitely took him out of range and sent him away. Therefore, it is impossible for him to get there through the mirror... "
In the ancient magic literature office, Maka sat behind his desk with her left hand supporting her cheek, silently asking and answering questions in her mind. This is a little habit he uses to organize his thoughts.
In his free right hand, he was playing with a ring set with a black gemstone.
If you observe carefully, you will find that the ring with simple and fine carvings is also wrapped with a slender silver chain, and a series of strange blue symbols are faintly flashing on the chain.
In the center of the desk in front of Maka, which is filled with papers and books, there is a black-covered diary, an ancient locket, a gorgeous gold cup, and a precious crown. lined up.
These five items are all Horcruxes made by Voldemort. As early as when Maka planned to officially launch his first "Plan to Defeat Voldemort", he had already obtained these Horcruxes in his own hands. Even the ring in his hand was obtained by Dumbledore himself from Gaunt's old house. found.
Logically speaking, there are six Horcruxes in Voldemort's possession...if Harry's "pseudo-Horcrux" is also included, then the total is seven.
In other words, if Voldemort's share is removed first, there are already six out of seven soul fragments under Maka's control.
After a period of calm thinking, he put the ring in his hand back on the table and rearranged it in a row with the other four Horcruxes.
"So, if the initial assumption is not wrong, there are only two possibilities left." Maka stretched out her hand to change the angle of the ring and moved it slightly straighter, "Or the last one has not been there so far. The Horcrux I had seen - the Orochi Nagini is dead, or... I am afraid that the remnant soul of Voldemort himself was given to someone... "
As he secretly speculated in his heart, his expression became more and more annoyed.
The split soul fragments are not indestructible, but because other fragments still remain, the Horcrux maker will not die completely. So, where will the destroyed soul fragments go
In a sense, this world is fair, because nothing in this world will truly be destroyed. Just like a person who has taken the Immortal Yin Potion, he does not really lose his existence, it is just that others cannot detect it.
After studying the theory of material rules, Maka became more and more convinced of this.
Therefore, if one of Voldemort's soul fragments is destroyed by something, the most likely thing is to go somewhere and wait quietly for the other fragments to be destroyed one by one. Until all the fragments are reunited there, Voldemort's soul will once again be in a complete form and go to an unknown place where other dead people will go.
As for where exactly it is and what it looks like, there is no way of knowing.
Of course, that's not what Maka cares about now. He just wanted to know, is the big snake Nagini dead? Or were the fragments of Voldemort himself destroyed
If it's the latter, then things are going to be very serious.
Because, that most likely means that Voldemort did not survive the erosion of the Bewitched Monument after all, and was completely occupied with his consciousness with only fragments of his soul left. If it really gets to that point, the power of the Bewitching Monument will be fully awakened, leading everything to the worst possible development.
"Anyway, let's confirm first..."
He put away all the Horcruxes on the table, then stood up and walked towards the office door.
On that day, Maka personally transported Voldemort's remnant soul with the Portkey. Of course, he knew where the bottle containing the fragments of Voldemort's soul was sent.
Soon, there was a faint spatial distortion in the bushes outside the school gate, and he had already left Hogwarts.
…
Rowena's secret island is still lush and green. Except for a slightly raised giant plant basking in the sun somewhere on the island, there are no other new changes here.
No, there are still new changes.
When Maka appeared under the tower, he immediately noticed that the woods outside the clearing were very different from before. To put it simply, it can be condensed into one sentence - the jungle on the island has become more vibrant!
In the forest, the trees have become taller, the grass has become more lush, and even the various magical creatures living here seem to have increased a lot.
Needless to say, except for the large fairy who claims to be a "descendant of the tree of life", who else could turn this uninhabited island into this
All right! If I have to say it, the "Great Fairy" can actually be regarded as one of the magical creatures on this island.
Maka didn't have time to pay attention to these new changes for the time being. What's more, this kind of change is a benign ecological development no matter how you look at it. There is nothing wrong with just letting nature take its course, right
He looked around, then pushed open the tower door and walked straight in.
He kept walking and walked up the spiral staircase. Soon he came to the door of a room on the second floor. On that wooden door, there was no trace of the magic left by him being destroyed. This discovery made him feel certain.
As Maka activated her magic power, she stretched out her hand and tapped a few times in front of the door, and the door suddenly opened quietly.
This is actually the study room in the tower. When Maka came here for the first time, she went in here to check out the situation. As seen at that time, this was a relatively spacious room. Apart from a large number of empty bookshelves, there was only a reading desk in the center.
In fact, the study room was largely untouched, except for the table in the middle that had been removed. At this time, an array pattern with soul rule runes as the main body was directly imprinted on the floor, silently emitting a faint blue fluorescence.
And right in the center of the rune array, a small potion bottle sank and floated regularly, surrounded by looking symbols, without any abnormalities.
It can be seen that there seems to be a vague thing flowing slowly in the translucent bottle.
"So, who killed the snake named 'Nagini'?"
Seeing that Voldemort's remnant soul was still safe and sound here, Maka couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. Although he took the time to rush over after the Grindelwald incident and managed to seal Voldemort's soul fragments, but to be honest, judging from his half-assed grasp of the soul runes, this may not be an absolutely safe thing. .
Therefore, he did not even dare to seal it with all his strength, but chose an equally half-baked sealing method. As long as Voldemort regains some strength, he can break free from this seemingly serious but actually loose rune array, escape to another place and try to be reborn again.
But even so, Maka was afraid that Voldemort would really "die" here if he wasn't careful.
"How about... just help you resurrect?"
After knowing that it was probably the big snake that had an accident, Maka finally felt a lot more at ease, and even thought of making a little joke to entertain herself.
Of course, even Nagini can never be killed easily. Not to mention that the big snake was originally a creature created by Voldemort after modifying the ancient method of cultivating basilisks. Just because of its Horcrux properties, it can easily resist many conventional injuries.
Who actually killed the big snake, and what purpose the other party had in doing it, was worthy of Maka's investigation.
With many factors related to each other, maybe just a little carelessness is enough to cause some unknown big troubles, and he has to be careful to guard against it.
In the study room of the high tower, Maka, who had confirmed the condition of Voldemort's remnant soul, carefully observed the bottle in the rune array for a while, then turned and exited the room.
…
When Maka was returning to Hogwarts from the uninhabited island with a warm climate, a father and son were walking in a seemingly endless land of ice and snow.
"...What on earth did you bring me here to do!"
The person who spoke was a little boy. Although he was wrapped in thick Muggle winter clothing, the fierce snowstorm was still taking away his body temperature, which made him feel as if he had no feeling in his hands and feet.
In front of him, another man also wearing thick clothes was walking forward, leaving only the back of the child.
"Don't you want to go to a magic school?" The man said coldly, "If you really want to go, then follow me - if you little brat dares to talk nonsense again, magic school? Humph, in this life Just don’t think about it!”
"... damn old man."
After hearing this, the boy couldn't help but murmured in a low voice, but did not continue to ask any more questions. He just shrank his neck again and lowered the hat with ear protection on his head.
Surrounding these two figures, one large and one small, there was a biting cold wind and a continuous blizzard.
