The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 562 The Twins' Final Decision
It was 1992, when Lucius Malfoy smuggled Voldemort's diary into Ginny's old books.

Originally, Malfoy wanted to use this to avoid the Ministry of Magic's search for illegal items, and by the way, put the blame on Arthur Weasley.What I didn't expect was that Malfoy not only failed to set the blame, but instead lost Voldemort's Horcrux by self-defeating.

It was precisely because of this diary from Voldemort's student days that the Hogwarts Chamber of Secrets was opened that year, causing basilisks to ravage the campus, causing many students and a skinny cat to be petrified.

It was also because of the appearance of this old diary, coupled with the poor performance of Benedict Foley before, that Dumbledore figured out the truth about Voldemort's immortality and learned about the hidden black magic of the Horcrux.

Lucius Malfoy is indeed a pig teammate. If it weren't for his stupidity and incompetence, Dumbledore might not be able to guess the Horcrux until now, let alone find the ring hidden in Gaunt's old house.

The diary was an early Horcrux made by Voldemort, and Hufflepuff's Gold Cup should have been produced later. At this time, Voldemort's level of Horcrux production should be even more advanced. It is likely to be more difficult to destroy the Gold Cup than the diary.

"You mean this cup is the same as that diary?" Fred asked, "That's why George just seemed to be a different person, because he was controlled like Ginny."

George on the side stared at the cup and said slowly: "No, I am different from Ginny. At that time, Ginny didn't know what she did, but I knew what I did. When I was at Gringotts, my heart It was as if a voice was directing me to do this."

Ada nodded seriously, and she said, "I heard it too, it's like the whisper of a demon, it's arousing negative emotions in people's hearts, and even hating the world."

"Wait a minute, you two wait a moment." Fred, who was looking left and right, said, "Why didn't I hear anything, and was frightened by Cosmo's cub?"

Among the three, only Fred had never touched the gold cup with his own hands, so he seemed to be an outsider at the moment, and Ada and George were like fellow patients discussing their illness.

"That's because you didn't touch the gold cup." Ada and George said tacitly, and the two rolled their eyes in sync.

The gold cup is shining, and the badger carved on the cup is lifelike.Fred looked at the cup suspiciously. He wanted to reach out and touch it, but he was afraid of the power of the cup.

Ada hadn't quite told the truth, and the whispers she heard were even more frightening.The demon hidden in the golden cup is actually tempting her, trying to make her also split her soul, so as to gain eternal life.

"So what the hell is this?" Fred's outstretched hand was only halfway out and then retracted. George's gloomy look just now left him with lingering fear.

"The cup belongs to Helga Hufflepuff." Ada said slowly, "but now it belongs to Tom Riddle, to be precise, it belongs to Tom Riddle's soul fragment."

Then Ada slowly talked about what a Horcrux is, and the conversation between herself and Dumbledore after returning from the cemetery.

Splitting souls into pieces was unheard of for the twins, and the brothers kept their mouths open the entire time.And considering the magic attainments of the two of them, the fact of splitting the soul is really incomprehensible. The soul is not a salmon on the chopping board, how can it be cut as soon as it is said.

It's no wonder that the twins couldn't understand for a while, the magic that acts on the soul in the magic world is not common, let alone splitting one's own soul.

Even Dumbledore, who is well-informed and knowledgeable, doesn't know much about Horcruxes. He was able to confirm this fact only after reading a large amount of information.

"How... er... how should the soul fragments be cut out?" George asked, "It can't be like this!" As he said, George imitated the action of cutting vegetables.

"Murder, you should add some kind of spell." Ada said, she didn't know the specific operation method of splitting the soul, and Dumbledore would not teach such evil magic to his students.

Hearing this, the twins looked at Ada together, their eyes seemed to ask: You wouldn't do the same, would you?

It wasn't until Ida's little head shook like a rattle that the twins looked away and stared at Hufflepuff's gold cup again.

"Now we are going to destroy this gold cup, right?" George asked, "It's a pity."

Although the magic of the horcrux is somewhat difficult to understand, the twins understand the function of the horcrux very clearly.Everyone has only one life, and Voldemort who has a Horcrux is like adding an insurance to his own life.Until this insurance was destroyed, Voldemort did not have to fear for his own life.

In other words, Voldemort with Horcruxes had one more life than everyone else, or several, depending on how many Horcruxes Voldemort made.Everyone knows how disgusting an unkillable enemy is.

"It's a pity," Ada said leisurely, her eyes full of distress, "It would be great if this could be left as an heirloom, or sold off! The legendary Helga Hufflepuff's golden cup, It must be worth a lot of Galleons!"

The twins felt sorry for the destruction of the treasures belonging to Hufflepuff, and Ada felt sorry for those Galleons who hadn't even seen one.Those with a low EQ are rich and miserly, and those with a high EQ are Ada who lives a life.

"How to do it?" Fred said excitedly, gearing up and eager to try.

Whether it is Hufflepuff's gold cup or Voldemort's Horcrux, destroying such treasures can largely satisfy human's desire for destruction.

Ada shook her head and said helplessly: "I don't know yet, I need to try it out"

It was Dumbledore who destroyed the diary in the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets, using the fangs as sharp as a basilisk saber.Ida doesn't have basilisk teeth on her hands these days, unless she returns to Hogwarts.

In addition, this cup is made of gold, not a paper diary. It is still unknown whether it can be pierced by snake teeth!What's more, the diary is a product of Voldemort's student days, and the gold cup was made into a Horcrux obviously later than the diary.

Perhaps during this period, Voldemort's black magic has improved and his understanding of Horcruxes has become more thorough.In this way, Hufflepuff's gold cup will be much more difficult to deal with than the diary.

"Okay, let's not talk about this." Ada said, "Tell me about your current thoughts. Do you still stick to your original choice?"

Although Ada has not thought of a way to destroy the Gold Cup, but with the previous diary as a reference, knowing that Horcruxes can be destroyed artificially, she will find a solution sooner or later, and she has this confidence.

Compared with the temporarily unresolved Jin Cup, what Ada wants to know is what the twins think, or whether Fred and George have the courage and perseverance to continue.

Everything at Gringotts today was just a rehearsal, the least dangerous kind.In the future, Ada will face a hundred times, a thousand times more dangers than today.

The twins didn't give a direct answer. The two brothers looked at each other for a long time, and Fred and George didn't speak until Ada felt a little tired.

"We're not as gifted as you," said Fred, "nor as clever as you."

"We don't work as hard as you do," George went on, "and we don't work as hard as you do."

As the two brothers talked, their faces darkened, as if covered by dark clouds, and ashamed.Although Ada didn't want the twins to be involved in such danger, she still felt disappointed in her heart.

Many times, women are duplicity, and Ada is no exception.

"Do you think we'll give up?"

"Are you a little lost and a little sad?"

Fred and George changed from the gloom a few seconds ago and burst out with vitality again. The singing and harmony of the two brothers was like sunshine piercing through the dark clouds, more like the hope of the gods to the world.

"How could we leave you alone!" said Fred, and he slapped Ida's right shoulder hard.

"Especially after something like today!" followed George, clapping his hand on Ada's left shoulder.

"We can't protect you from the wind and rain, but we can accompany you in the rain!" The twins said in unison, "Of course, it would be even better if you don't get caught in the rain. If you don't know how to run into the house when it rains, your brain must What's wrong."
