From Hogwarts to Strixhaven

"You really surprised me, Cassandra." Ivy took the Ravenclaw crown from Cassandra and looked at it carefully. "I have to admit that you have exceeded my expectations again."

"How can I reward you for resisting the temptation of the treasure of the four giants and handing it to me personally?"

This is a scene that Ivy has never imagined. Although he has long known that Voldemort put the Ravenclaw crown in a "hiding room" in the Room of Requirement, since that place is almost a large collection of all the mysterious missing items in the castle, Ivy has never been interested in spending time on it.

There is not enough time to study magic, so how can I spend time looking for the Ravenclaw crown?

According to his original idea, the search for the Ravenclaw crown should be put off until later, and he cannot find it by himself. Golems or group invisible servants have always been his best helpers. Both of them have low-level intelligence and are completely obedient to the caster, so there is no risk of being controlled by the Ravenclaw crown.

After all, Voldemort's Horcruxes caused a lot of casualties in the original book. Tom Riddle's diary almost closed the school. Slytherin's locket led to a split in the Iron Triangle. Nagini also killed several people. The Gaunt family ring directly killed the greatest white wizard of this century.

Although the Ravenclaw crown and Hufflepuff's cup did not play many roles in the original book, and even seemed very hasty, Ivy would not underestimate Voldemort's insidiousness and cunningness, nor would he underestimate his level of dark magic. Even if there is no fatal curse on it, Voldemort can still easily deal with one or two spells that affect the emotions of the holder.

According to Ivy's perspective, Voldemort did add dark magic that can affect the emotions of people around him to the Ravenclaw crown, which will make the holder continue to have uncontrollable greed, just to take the crown for himself.

Therefore, Cassandra's ability to offer the Ravenclaw Diadem despite Voldemort's dark magic was beyond Ivy's expectations.

"I'm so humble... I'll just help you." Cassandra lowered her head and reorganized her emotions.

"Haha..." Ivy smiled, "You're really modest, but I still prefer your unruly side. That's fine, I'll tell you the truth about the Ravenclaw Diadem."

"This is Voldemort's Horcrux." Ivy's words made Cassandra look up suddenly, with a burst of light in her eyes.

"Since Voldemort made the Ravenclaw Diadem into a Horcrux... does that mean that the other relics of the Big Four may also be Horcruxes?" Cassandra quickly figured out the truth.

But Ivy did not directly answer her speculation: "Let's find a time, I will let you appreciate how I tortured Voldemort's soul. For people like you who use revenge as motivation, the torture of the enemy is no different from a sweet wine?"

"But... didn't you say that Voldemort can only be killed by destroying the Horcrux?" Cassandra's first question was still about the Horcrux.

"Destroying the Horcrux is indeed a shortcut to destroy Voldemort, but for me, I can remove Voldemort's soul fragments from the Horcrux alone while ensuring the original carrier of the Horcrux." Ivy was ready to show off a little.

Ivy cast a spell and grabbed a handful of soil from the flowerpot where Cassandra used to grow cabbage. The colorful magic light flashed, and the handful of soil disappeared, replaced by a silver metal cage. This is the credit of the Philosopher's Stone, which can easily allow Ivy to transform the form of matter.

Since the overall mass of matter before and after the conversion remains unchanged, the silver cage made by this trick is quite small. But for the 6th-ring spell Soul Cage, this is enough.

It's still the same old trick, the 5th-ring Energy Draining spell opens the way, comprehensively weakening the magic left by Voldemort on it, and can also absorb the insignificant magic power in the soul fragment.

The Energy Draining spell lasted less than half a minute, and Ivy already felt that the dark magic effect on the Ravenclaw crown disappeared. After a few seconds, a silver-white mist fell from the crown and floated into the silver cage made by Ivy with the Philosopher's Stone.

"That's Voldemort's soul fragment?" Cassandra asked absentmindedly, and her hands couldn't help but clenched tightly.

"Yes, that's his soul fragment." Ivy replied, lifting the cage containing Voldemort's soul fragment up to see the appearance of this soul fragment clearly.

The piece in the diary was Tom Riddle's appearance when he was young, and he looked exactly like a sixth-grade student. Therefore, Ivy was very curious about what this soul fragment would look like. According to the time calculation, it was found in the Black Forest in Albania after Voldemort graduated from Hogwarts.

After working as a clerk in Borgin and Burke's Dark Magic Shop for a year, young Tom disappeared for ten years. When he reappeared ten years later, he went to Hogwarts to apply for the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. At this time, Tom was already deeply trapped in the swamp of dark magic, so that his face looked like it was burned by flames.

Ivy was very curious about what kind of face Voldemort would reflect in the soul fragment in the crown. Was it the handsome face when he just graduated, but the face with malnutrition and sunken cheeks, or the face that was completely unrecognizable after ten years of studying dark magic.

When the new-colored fog finally stopped surging in the silver cage and revealed its shape, Ivy and Cassandra were stunned.

"It's actually... so ugly?" Cassandra was a little unbelievable. The Dark Lord who once dominated the British magic world and stirred up the storm was no longer the image of the past.

"He looks like a wrinkled meat ball... even a toad with bumps all over his body is much better looking than it." Cassandra couldn't help but say.

Indeed, whether it was the handsome and elegant juvenile body or the evil and terrifying complete body, their shadows could not be seen on this body made of silver fog.

It was a sticky, soft and ugly thing. Although it looked like a curled up baby, it had no hair, but had thin and dense scales. There were only two narrow slits where the eyes should be, and the nose was two long and thin holes. The chin seemed to have been cut off by someone, and the mouth above was flat and flat, making people doubt whether it had lips. Its limbs are twisted and unnatural, making people suspect that it is disabled. Fortunately, it is now in the form of a soul, and no other color can be seen on the body except for the silver mist. If it were pink or flesh-colored, the ugliness index would soar to the terrifying range.

"I must admit that I didn't expect it to be like this." Ivy shook his head, feeling a little unbelievable and a little funny. "Look at what the Horcrux that Voldemort relies on for survival has made him look like. He is neither human nor ghost, extremely weak, and crazy."

After laughing, a new question was placed in front of Ivy. They are both soul fragments. What is the difference between the soul fragments in the diary and the soul fragments in the crown?

Is it simply a matter of time?

Tom, a sixth-grade student, was not yet poisoned by the black magic, so his soul was able to maintain its original appearance before the split?

Or is it because the more times the soul splits, the more unstable his soul becomes? When the crown as a Horcrux was created, his soul was so weak that it was difficult for him to maintain his adult form?

Or was it some other reason?

For example, memory? When Ivy got the diary from Lucius, the latter described to him exactly what Voldemort said about the diary. He regarded the diary as a weapon, a weapon that could open the Chamber of Secrets and release the basilisk.

In order to ensure that the person who got the diary could open the Chamber of Secrets as he imagined, Voldemort injected a memory, a past, and a part of his personality that could use Parseltongue into it.

Perhaps these are the reasons why the soul fragments in the diary retain the image of Tom when he was young.

Logically speaking, a person's soul fragments should be closely connected to his original body. Moreover, although Voldemort was weak at this time, he had not completely entered the state of death. The soul fragments should faithfully reflect his own appearance. Just like breaking a mirror, each fragment can still reflect the complete image. Each soul fragment of Voldemort should be synchronized with himself, and the fragment in the diary that reflects his appearance in the sixth grade should be a special case.

Although Ivy's speculation is complete and reasonable, after all, it is impossible to really catch Voldemort to verify it, because before Ivy completely mastered the 6-ring spell Soul Cage, Voldemort had already abandoned his temporary body Quirrell and escaped from the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts.

However, as long as another Horcrux is found, Ivy's idea can be verified. There is another Horcrux in Hogwarts, which Voldemort accidentally created eleven years ago, his destined nemesis, Harry Potter.

But no matter what, killing your friend and classmate is too scary. Although Ivy has the Philosopher's Stone as a means of resurrection, no one will pay for Harry's death, which is 10,000 gold galleons. ... Maybe Dumbledore would be willing, after all, he is willing to sacrifice his life to fight Voldemort, just 10,000 gold.

"Lord Doom." Cassandra's voice brought Ivy back to reality. She stared at the cage in Ivy's hand and asked, "How are you going to deal with this piece of Voldemort's soul?"

Ivy looked at the deformed baby in the cage and was a little unsure about how to deal with it. It didn't look like it had any benefits. Besides, even if there was some benefits, Ivy might not really be willing to take it. After all, he knew that some knowledge was poisonous.

Ivy raised his hand and swung it. A dark blue flame arrow hit the deformed baby lying in the cage. It was a 0-ring trick flame arrow with the damage type changed by the awakening magic book. Mental damage can have an outstanding effect on this kind of soul body.

The deformed baby who was attacked woke up immediately, and his squinting eyes opened, showing a little red light. His flat mouth opened wide, and a piercing howl resounded throughout the Room of Requirement.

The biting cabbages planted in the flowerpots waiting for a good harvest twisted their bodies uneasily, just because the screams of the deformed baby were so unpleasant.

"You see, there is really no sense of accomplishment in bullying this kind of guy who has no resistance and can only howl. I plan to destroy it directly." Ivy used his wand to throw out a "silent" sound to prevent the sound from spreading in the air, and then pinched his ears in dissatisfaction, "To be honest, I thought this would be an adult Voldemort. It's so disappointing. I guess you didn't get any pleasure from this ridiculous revenge, so I'll compensate you in another way."

Cassandra immediately said: "As long as I can become stronger, I can endure any pain."

Ivy rolled her eyes: "You are already mine, you don't have to look ready to die every time you talk to me. I know your determination, just wait, I haven't decided what kind of power to give you, don't be too impatient."

Cassandra nodded silently and stopped talking.

"Forget it, let's complete today's established goals first, and teach you the spell to preserve the biting cabbage." Ivy's hand holding the cage exerted a little force, and under the effect of the 6-ring spell Soul Cage, Voldemort's soul fragments disappeared like spring snowflakes in an instant.

The transparent wizard's hand dug out the biting cabbage in the flowerpot with roots and stems, and Ivy pointed at it with his wand and said: "Moisture preservation!"

"Moisture preservation..." Cassandra repeated it in a low voice as if she was in class.

"Yes, that's it." Ivy nodded in affirmation, "Air and water are essential for all plants. As long as these two are still there and the root system is intact, even without soil, the plant can still live for a long time. This spell was invented based on this concept."

In short, it is a magical version of soilless cultivation. At that time, Ivy only took half an afternoon to perfect this spell, which was very easy and carefree.

"Okay, then this." Ivy controlled the wizard's hand and handed the cabbage to Cassandra, "You can practice this spell with this cabbage. As long as you can use this spell to keep it alive for three days, it will be worth actual combat. After that, I will teach you a shrinking spell for magical plants. You can carry them all with you and throw them out when you encounter an enemy."

Cassandra took the biting cabbage and went to the side to practice the new spell. And Ivy finally had the opportunity to check his new treasure-Ravenclaw's crown.

Caven today... I held it back for a long time and only said this...
