Hogwarts: From Squibs to Greatness

Chapter 103 Decomposing Horcrux Soul Fragments
On the night of Christmas Eve, after attending the banquet, John plunged into the laboratory in the ring.

Maybe it's because of the good luck brought about by his connection with the world, or maybe John has accumulated enough, plus a little luck.

Looking at the perfected magic circle on the parchment, John smiled.

After receiving Ravenclaw's crown, John has been trying to find a way to separate the fragments of Voldemort's soul without damaging the carrier.

It's just that he didn't expect that this method was eventually delivered to him by Voldemort himself.

By studying Lockhart's body and with the help of Hal's world's magic circle in the soul, John finally figured out how the mutation that happened to Lockhart was caused.

This is a curse aimed at the soul, and its source is most likely the blood curse on the "blood curse orc", which is an extremely evil and powerful curse.

The Blood Curse is a type of magic that's a lot like a darker version of the Animagus.

Although people who suffer from this curse can control themselves at first, and can switch between human and beast forms, as time goes by, the cursed person will inevitably slip into the abyss and irreversibly change into a beast form , completely reduced to an irrational beast.

And this curse can also be extended with the blood, just like the big snake named Nagini next to Voldemort in the future is a blood curse orc, and the blood curse on her is derived from her family's maternal inheritance .

From this point of view, Voldemort should have found Nagini, but I don't know if he has made it into a Horcrux.

The curse on Lockhart is a degraded blood curse. Different from the orthodox blood curse, this degraded version of the blood curse needs to inject some kind of animal blood into the body of the cursed person before it can be released.

Then cast this curse on it, and use the blood of this part of the animal to pollute the soul of the cursed person. Maybe this will bring benefits such as improving the physical fitness of the cursed person, but this is just a sweetness for confusing.

In fact, as long as the caster detonates the curse that exists in this part of the blood, the cursed person will quickly mutate like Lockhart and become a dark magical creature that is half human and half animal.

And this kind of curse will rapidly burn everything of the cursed person to maintain the mutation. In fact, as long as John delays for a little time, the mutant Lockhart will soon die due to exhaustion of everything.

This curse is indeed vicious, but it is not without its good side.

I don't know if when creating this curse, Voldemort borrowed a lot of methods for making Horcruxes against souls.

Based on this part of the soul, John successfully researched the magic circle for the remnant souls in the Horcrux.

The magic circle for the Horcrux, according to John's initial research idea, aims to decompose the remnants of the Horcrux without harming the carrier of the Horcrux.

In order to verify the effect of the magic circle, John decisively took out the horcrux notebook that was no longer useful.

What the remnant soul in the notebook knows, John has almost deceived. After all, this is just the remnant soul that Voldemort split when he was in the sixth grade. He doesn’t know much. At most, he just knows a little more about black magic than ordinary wizards. .

Using a little trick, he returned to the Slytherin's chamber of secrets. At this moment, it seemed that the house elves had cleaned the place. The blood spattered in the previous battle and the sword marks left everywhere were repaired.

John took out the alchemy liner specially made to depict the magic circle, and began to draw the magic circle on the ground.

Soon John skillfully drew the magic circle on the ground, and took out the container for collecting the products of the decomposed remnant soul in advance, and placed it in the corresponding position in the magic circle.

After checking that there was no problem with the magic circle for the last time, John took out the notebook that was already ready to move from the ring.

Because before coming to the Chamber of Secrets, John deliberately came to the hut where the Horcruxes were stored for the last deception.

At that time, Senior Tom was obviously ecstatic after knowing that "Young Jerry" entered Hogwarts and successfully entered the secret room to release the basilisk, which caused panic and caused Dumbledore to leave the school temporarily.

So senior Tom anxiously asked John to take him out. Of course, he would not tell his real purpose, but used him as the last need to open the treasure of Slytherin, so that "young Jerry" would take him out.

John would naturally satisfy Senior Tom's little wish.

After removing the chain that restricted the soul and suppressed the curse from the notebook, John immediately put it in the corresponding position in the magic circle, and then opened the notebook with a wave of the staff.

It seemed that he had seen a familiar scene, confirmed that he was in the secret room, and saw thick black mist seeping out from the notebook.

As the black mist grew more and more, it gradually condensed into a human form.

"Ah~" accompanied by a happy whisper

The human figure formed by the black mist became concrete, and finally a tall boy with black hair and wearing Hogwarts Slytherin school robes appeared in front of John.

The boy's face was strangely indistinct, as if looking at him through a foggy window, and there was a strange foggy gleam about him.

Expose the fact that he is not fully resurrected now.

Even though he couldn't see his face clearly, John still clearly noticed that the other party opened his eyes and set his gaze on him.

It seems that he did not expect that it was not the thin young Jerry who appeared in front of him, but the very powerful John who was obviously different from other wizards.

So Senior Tom's first sentence was to ask directly: "Where did Jerry go? Who are you?"

After all, he was only Tom's senior in the sixth grade. If Voldemort saw that Jerry was not in front of him, he would attack John immediately.

Instead of asking who he is and where Jerry went like now.

John didn't answer Senior Tom's words, but slowly read out his full name: "Tom Marvolo Riddle."

Senior Tom didn't expect the unknown guy in front of him to call out his full name. Only at this moment did he realize that something was wrong.

"Who the hell are you? Where did you hear that name!"

"Who am I? Of course I am Jerry who listens to you."

As he said that, John waved his wand, and in front of Senior Tom, he turned into the image of Jerry.

Senior Tom felt more and more that something was wrong, and hastily made a loud hissing sound, calling for the basilisk.

John just watched quietly like this. Senior Tom continued to summon the basilisk. After a long time, Senior Tom also realized that the basilisk probably would not appear.

Only then did he look at John again: "So it's all false"

Although it was a question sentence, John could still hear the affirmation in it.

John naturally had nothing to hide, and nodded directly to confirm Senior Tom's thoughts.

But before Senior Tom continued to say anything, John activated the magic circle directly. He was not interested in talking to Senior Tom.

With the activation of the magic circle, the magic circle glowed brightly, and powerful magic power began to surge.

Seemingly sensing something was wrong, Senior Tom immediately wanted to escape from the range of the magic circle under his feet.

But how could John give him a chance to escape, so John looked expressionlessly at senior Tom who was confined in the invisible barrier and kept hitting the barrier.

Because of sufficient vitality and magic power, the remnant soul in the horcrux temporarily obtained a moving body, but don't forget that the vitality that builds this body comes from the cursed blood of the unicorn.

With the activation of the magic circle, the suppression of the unicorn curse also disappeared.

Because of the backlog of the unicorn's curse for a long time, the moment the curse broke out, the curse that almost turned into substance poured out of this body.

In an instant, Senior Tom's young body quickly shriveled like a withering body, looking like a living mummy.

"Ho... ho... ho"

Senior Tom tried his best to raise his hand to grab John's direction, opening and closing his mouth to swear.

But the violent curse force completely destroyed the constructed body, making it impossible for him to utter a single sentence.

His cloudy eyes couldn't see everything in front of him clearly, but he still looked firmly in John's direction. The hatred and viciousness in his eyes were like two poisonous snakes, wanting to eat his flesh and blood.

It's a pity that all he can do now is this. As the magic circle started to operate, the strong magic power began to break down the soul fragments that had existed in this world for nearly 50 years.

The pain caused by the decomposition made senior Tom want to commit suicide, but he has long been unable to control the body that was completely destroyed by the curse.

Like a prisoner, Senior Tom trapped himself in this body, unable to escape, unable to commit suicide, and could only be tormented by pain.

As the magic circle continued to operate, the body filled with the curse began to emit a little milky white smoke, which began to gather in the storage container under the power of the magic circle.

Time passed by every minute and every second, when the last wisp of milky white smoke left the body that had been cursed and completely turned into a mummified corpse, and entered the container.

The body disintegrated in an instant, turning into a puddle of pitch-black fine sand and falling into the magic circle.

Looking at the magic aura that belongs to black magic flashing in the magic field of vision, it seems that this kind of fine sand is also a kind of magic material.

So John hurriedly put on dragon leather gloves, and collected the fine sand into the container for storing black magic materials.

After doing this, looking at the notebook left in the magic circle, John bent down and picked it up. Without the soul fragments belonging to Voldemort, this notebook naturally did not have those magical effects and returned to the ordinary.

What John didn't know was that when he activated the magic circle to disintegrate Voldemort's remnant soul, the main soul of Voldemort hiding in Albania also responded.

Voldemort's remnant soul turned into a black mist and violently surged in mid-air. The intense pain made it scream continuously.

And under Voldemort's main soul, a twelve-inch-long giant python was looking up at the surging black mist, as if feeling Voldemort's pain, it kept hissing at Voldemort.

Eventually, the pain subsided, and Voldemort's main spirit floated weakly in the air.

"John Williams!!" Voldemort roared angrily.

Because of the connection between the remnant soul and the main soul, when the Horcrux is destroyed and the soul fragments in it die, the main soul can see the last memories of the soul fragments.

The last thing Voldemort saw was John's indifferent blue dragon eyes, which seemed to be looking at him through his Horcrux.

But after the anger subsided, fear began to emerge in Voldemort's main soul, because the other party knew that he had a Horcrux, so did it mean that Dumbledore also knew?
Thinking of this, he wanted to summon Death Eaters to protect his Horcrux.

But soon he calmed down, if he did this, it would very likely lead to the exposure of the originally hidden Horcrux, thus increasing the risk of being damaged.

"Wait, John Williams, and Harry Potter, I won't let you go!"
