Hogwarts: I Am Such a Model Wizard

Chapter 961 Horcrux Production Plan

Horcrux…

Hearing Professor McGonagall say this, Kyle just thought about it for a moment and understood what she meant.

"Professor, are you worried that someone will become the second Voldemort?"

"That's right." Professor McGonagall nodded, "The temptation of eternal life is too great, and we cannot guarantee that the content of this hearing will not be leaked.

"If someone has a wrong idea because of this, the magic world will definitely be in chaos, and we are the culprits of all this."

Professor McGonagall became more and more anxious as she spoke, her hands clenching into fists unconsciously, and the color gradually drained from her face.

It's also her fault that she didn't think carefully before. She only thought about how to help Snape get rid of his identity as a Death Eater, and actually ignored the temptation of Horcruxes to wizards.

Now she just hopes to find a way to reduce the impact of the Horcrux as much as possible.

But compared to Professor McGonagall, Kyle was much more relaxed.

"Actually, Horcruxes are not important..." he said as he walked, but when he turned his head, he found that Professor McGonagall was missing.

She was standing motionless not far behind her with her head lowered.

There was no other way, so Kyle had no choice but to turn back.

"Professor McGonagall...Professor McGonagall?"

I don’t know what she was thinking, but Kyle shouted several times but there was no response.

He simply stopped shouting and ran to the Three Broomsticks nearby to buy a glass of butter beer and a small glass of violet water.

This is a drink based on hazelnut, vanilla and violet, which is loved by Professor McGonagall.

When he came out, Professor McGonagall was still standing there, and it wasn't until a few minutes later that she suddenly raised her head.

"Don't be nervous, professor." Kyle immediately handed over the glass of violet water, "Let's drink something first. You said a lot during the hearing."

"I...oh, thank you." Professor McGonagall said. She subconsciously took it, but immediately gave it back to Kyle.

"It's better to wait until I come back to drink. Now I need to go back again."

"Bones may not be aware of this yet. I have to remind her quickly and come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible."

With that said, he prepared to apparate back to the Ministry of Magic.

"Wait a minute, Professor." Kyle quickly stepped forward and stopped her.

"You can go back to school first." Professor McGonagall thought that Kyle also wanted to go with her, so he shook his head and said, "This is an oversight on my part. I can go alone."

"No, actually I want to say that this matter may not be as important as you think." Kyle said quickly.

"What are you talking about?" Professor McGonagall pursed her lips, "That is a Horcrux that can make wizards immortal!"

"I know, what I'm talking about is the Horcrux." Kyle nodded, "The Horcrux is not important, what is important is the production method and process."

"How to make..." Professor McGonagall was stunned for a moment.

"Yes." Professor McGonagall finally calmed down, and Kyle explained: "To be honest, there are not many people who know about Horcruxes. This kind of black magic has been recorded in many books, including the school library. It's there.

"The description of Horcrux in most books only has its name and function, but not the production process."

"Wait a minute." Professor McGonagall looked at Kyle, "Are you saying that not many people know how to make a Horcrux?"

"Of course, Professor." Kyle smiled, "As far as I know, the only book that records Horcruxes is..."Advanced Black Magic Revealed"."

"What book is this?" Professor McGonagall asked subconsciously, completely unimpressed.

"A book about black magic that was banned hundreds of years ago and is extremely rare."

Kyle explained: "At present, in the entire magical world, there may only be ancient pure-blood wizard families like Black."

"Then how did you know?"

"Dumbledore told me." Kyle said calmly, "In addition, when Voldemort was still Tom Riddle, he also found this book from the school library and made that diary.

"What, didn't he tell you?" Kyle asked with a blink.

Professor McGonagall's face darkened.

If Dumbledore had told her, she wouldn't have asked what "Advanced Dark Arts Revealed" was just now.

But now she knew how Voldemort learned to make Horcruxes... from the school library.

It's unbelievable.

"Where was it placed?" Professor McGonagall asked anxiously.

"Now, it should be in the principal's office." Kyle thought for a moment and said, "I don't know the details. I only know that the content about the Horcrux has been torn off."

Professor McGonagall relaxed slightly.

"Is it possible that others have read this book?"

"As I said just now, this book is very small." Kyle shrugged. "First of all, it is definitely not available in bookstores. It can only be found in the private libraries of ancient pure-blood families like Black."

After hearing this, Professor McGonagall was basically relieved.

There are not many ancient families like Black, and most importantly, they don't know about this.

It is almost impossible to accurately find "The Secret of Advanced Black Magic" from a private library with at least hundreds of books.

"Oh, I almost forgot."

Kyle suddenly thought of something again and continued: "Even the process recorded in "Advanced Black Magic Revealed" is not the whole process, and many key contents are missing.

"Tom Riddle finally asked Professor Slughorn before he completed the production of the Horcrux."

"Horace?"

"Yes, it's just that he keeps denying it." Kyle said, "Even if you ask, you won't get an answer."

Professor McGonagall's expression kept changing, but Kyle didn't pay attention.

"That's why I said this matter is not a problem. Maybe Minister Bones thinks so too."

Kyle once again handed the violet water to Professor McGonagall, "So what if the Horcrux is exposed? Anyway, this kind of thing is basically translucent. Even the books recording the Horcrux in the school library are Not in the restricted area.

"As long as the method of making Horcruxes is not exposed, this matter can only be a casual chat after dinner."

This time, Professor McGonagall took the violet water and took a big sip.

"You make sense, but why didn't you tell me earlier." Professor McGonagall glared at Kyle angrily.

"There are some things you'd better not imitate like Dumbledore."

It was obvious that Professor McGonagall was unhappy that Dumbledore was hiding everything from her.

"I said it." Kyle spread his hands, "But you just ignored me."

Professor McGonagall's expression was stagnant. She vaguely remembered that Kyle did want to say something to her just now. By that time, her mind was full of the consequences of the Horcrux being exposed, and she didn't care at all.

From this point of view, it seems that it is indeed her fault...

No, that's not right, it should be Dumbledore's fault.

If Dumbledore could tell her about the Horcruxes in advance, she wouldn't know everything.

Thinking of this, Professor McGonagall subconsciously speeded up her pace.

She decided to go back to the principal's office, look for Dumbledore's portrait, and ask why he could be so calm and not tell her anything.

Kyle could only speed up and follow her. The two walked through the gates of Hogwarts.

Just at this time, Slughorn also walked over from the opposite side.

"Minerva, Kyle, it's so nice to see you here..."

He seemed to be in a good mood and waved to them from a distance, "I sincerely invite you to come to my dinner party. This is a formal banquet. Many people have decided to come. I think they will be very happy. Saw the principal at the banquet, with the best graduates.”

Slughorn winked at Kyle.

In fact, the person he wanted to invite the most was Kyle. Of course, it would be great if Minerva could come.

"Next time, Horace." Professor McGonagall glanced at him, "We just came back from the Ministry of Magic and we have other things to do in a while... Oh, so does Kyle."

"What a shame..." Slughorn was a little disappointed, "I hope those children never know what they missed."

Kyle didn't answer.

He was used to it, and he would do this every time he declined Slughorn's invitation to a dinner party.

It feels like I am some kind of beacon, and when I go to the dinner party, I can guide others.

After a few more words, Slughorn left.

This time he was going to Hogsmeade to buy drinks for the dinner party.

Although the school kitchen can provide snacks such as cookies and cakes, it does not provide any alcoholic beverages.

But this kind of thing is a must-have for dinner parties.

So he always went to Three Broomsticks in advance to buy butterbeer and his favorite mead, and it was the same this time.

Professor McGonagall looked at Slughorn's round back, and her originally relaxed brows wrinkled again.

"Tell me, is there anyone else who knows how to make Horcruxes like Horace?" she murmured.

"Probably not." Kyle said after thinking for a while.

"The wizards are very old, and there are many old wizards from the last century, or even the last century.

"If this thing spreads, someone will definitely find them..."

"It... doesn't matter." Kyle whispered, feeling that Professor McGonagall was a little too nervous.

Making Horcruxes is not like growing potatoes, or any other life skills, you can master them as long as you get older.

Besides, even if someone does know, they can't just tell others casually.

You can tell this by looking at Slughorn. As his favorite student, Tom Riddle also coaxed and deceived him to get some useful information from him.

But Professor McGonagall doesn't seem to think so. I don't know if it's because of the change in status, but she has become...well, much more rigorous than before.

"This matter still needs to be solved by Dumbledore." Professor McGonagall said, she seemed to have made up her mind.

"Professor Dumbledore?" Kyle's voice rose slightly.

"It's the portrait he left in the principal's office." Professor McGonagall continued: "His portrait needs to be taken away and visit the old wizards who know about it. He must know who they are."

"Okay." Kyle said. Seeing that Professor McGonagall had already made a decision, he said nothing more.

Anyway, those principals are idle, so it would be nice to find something for them to do.

and…

Kyle suddenly had a good idea.

While Professor McGonagall was going to the library, he headed to the eighth floor first.

"Ball of thread!"

Kyle said the password he had just asked, and the gargoyle immediately jumped aside.

He followed the spiral staircase at the back and walked into the principal's office with familiarity.

It's still the same here, and the portraits on the wall are still pretending to sleep with their eyes closed.

"It's you, Kyle." Dumbledore was the first to notice him, "How was the hearing? Severus should be fine."

"Everything went well." Kyle said, then shook his head, "No, maybe there was a little incident."

His words were like a signal, and the principals in the portrait opened their eyes one after another and looked over curiously.

"That's right. Snape's memory was shown at the hearing, and it contained the Horcrux part..."

He briefly repeated Professor McGonagall's concerns.

"Minerva is very thoughtful." Dumbledore nodded. "It is true that few people can withstand the temptation of eternal life. This is why I have never announced why Tom can make a comeback."

"But I think what Kyle said is right." Armando Dippet shook his head, "Horcruxes are not like growing potatoes, and they are not that easy to learn."

"But always keep an eye on it." Another headmaster sided with Dumbledore.

"There are no eternal secrets in the magic world. If you put your mind to it, you can always find some clues."

"You're just guessing."

"Then do you dare to say that it won't happen?"

…

The principals each had their own opinions, and soon they became quarrelsome, and some of the hot-tempered ones were about to take action.

For example, Armando held a mace and chased Phineas around, who was against him.

"So, Minerva wants me to convince those who know the truth?" Dumbledore looked at Kyle and asked.

"That's right," Kyle said, "but I have another idea."

He took out a shorthand quill and wrote something quickly on a piece of parchment.

"Oh?" Dumbledore immediately became interested.

In his memory, Kyle's ideas had always been special and effective...such as helping Sirius clear his grievances and getting Fudge to change his attitude towards Voldemort.

Not only was he curious, but Armando and Phineas also ran back and looked at Kyle together.

Soon the parchment was full.

Kyle picked it up and showed it to the principals.

"This is what I have summarized, how to make a Horcrux."

"What, you can also make Horcruxes!" A principal immediately exclaimed.

But someone soon noticed something was wrong.

"Wait, what is this!"

Armando narrowed his eyes, "Using the Cruciatus Curse to split one's soul is nonsense!"

"And this." Phineas almost pressed his face against the frame. "If the soul fragments cannot leave the body on their own initiative, you can try to use the Imperius Curse on yourself... Merlin's beard, isn't this looking for death?"

"You wrote it wrong, this is not the way to make a Horcrux at all!"

"Wrong writing? Of course not." Kyle narrowed his eyes and smiled: "This is how to make a Horcrux."
