Hogwarts: I'm Cousin Harry.

Ron was holding two large chicken drumsticks in both hands and gnawing wildly. His mouth was full of oil. There was a whole big bowl in front of him.

Slytherin Locket:

'That's all? '

Just when the pendant box was about to take the next step, another unfamiliar voice intervened.

'Senior Tom, where are you going? '

Dudley looked at the locket with a smile on his face.

Isn't it Legilimency?Who can’t do it anymore?

The original novel is a pendant and the movie is a pendant.

But I searched all over the information and couldn't find any description of Slytherin's pendant in the original book. So Slytherin's relic is just a box?

Chapter 356 350 Various experiments and conjectures on Horcruxes

The pendant that failed to bewitched was held in Dudley's hand.

As a Horcrux, like the diary and the pendant, it has no ability to move. If it is not seduced successfully, it can only stay in place.

Even if its maker is a very scary wizard.

Of course, it would be a different matter if the main soul was resurrected on the pendant.

Dudley was not in a hurry to destroy the Horcrux. He planned to use it for experiments while school hadn't started in the past few days.

As we all know, extremely evil magic items like Horcruxes can become extremely strong even if they are made of ordinary materials.

For example, the diary cannot be damaged by ordinary methods, whether it is hitting it with stones or roasting it with fire.

Currently known methods of destroying Horcruxes include: Gryffindor's great sword (original Nagini, locket, ring), basilisk's fangs (original diary, gold cup), magic acid (diary), Fire (original diadem), Formation (original diadem), and Voldemort (original Harry Potter).

In other words, if the Horcrux can be destroyed, whether it is magic or something else, it is powerful enough.

"You can't take it away, Kreacher can't destroy it, and you can't do it either!"

Just when Dudley was about to leave with the golden locket, Kreacher suddenly went crazy. Judging from his confused eyes, he was most likely bewitched.

If the pendant box didn't seduce it before, it was probably because it was unnecessary and it was safe to stay there. But now, unlike usual, the other party recognized the Horcrux.

Unfortunately, the magic level of everyone present was not low. Kreacher was hit by at least four binding spells as soon as he pounced on Dudley.

"What are you doing?"

Ron, the only one who didn't take action, didn't know why. He still hasn't figured out the situation.

'Where's my drumstick?So a big pot? '

"Give it back to Kreacher, give it back to Kreacher."

Even though his body was restrained, Kreacher stared at Dudley with his bloodshot eyes.

Dudley didn't know it was the locket's fault?

"At this point you are still going to cause trouble."

Dudley held the locket in his hand.

"Kreacher, didn't you say I can't destroy it? Let's see."

I saw electric sparks flashing on Dudley's right hand, and the pendant box kept making sharp sounds as if it was encountering a natural enemy. However, it could not escape at all. Then Dudley continued to exert force from his palm, and the pendant box felt an indescribable force. The terrifying power came from all directions. The huge force squeezed the entire pendant box and made a squeaking sound, and streams of black smoke continued to overflow from it.

Physics can also create magic when it reaches a certain level.

This is the magic of physics - BY Dursley.

'Crackling.'

As Dudley continued to exert more force, an extremely small crack appeared on the pendant box.

At that moment, Kreacher felt a light appear in front of his eyes, and his big lifeless eyes gradually gained energy.

"Destroy it quickly!"

Kreacher shouted eagerly, his attitude a 180-degree turn from before.

"Don't worry."

As soon as Dudley's hand relaxed, the cracks on the pendant box stopped growing.

However, the pendant box seemed to have been greatly damaged at this time. The entire box seemed to have lost its luster and became gray, but it also regained its original calmness.

"I still have use for this thing. I can destroy it when it's used up."

After saying that, Dudley put the pendant in his pocket.

'This body is very nice!Gotta get him! '

The pendant in Dudley's pocket was thinking with its few thoughts.

But it soon discovered that it was wrong, and maybe being crushed on the spot was the best option.

In the overgrown garden outside Black's old house, the pendant was fixed on a shelf. On the other side, Dudley was holding a 'metal shelf' with one eye open and taking aim.

With a few 'crash' sounds and the sharp sound of metal scraping, Dudley put down the 'metal shelf' in his hand.

The so-called 'metal frame' is in the eyes of people like Ron, Neville and Draco.

In the eyes of Harry and Hermione, the name of this thing is a pistol.

It is also a very well-known pistol-the Desert Eagle.

"Hermione, how's the data recording going?"

Dudley asked Hermione, who was standing nearby writing and drawing in a notebook.

"The bullet can barely scratch a scratch on the pendant, which shows that the effect of Horcrux on pure physical defense is limited. The Divine Edge Shadowless Curse attached to the bullet cannot have any impact. Horcrux is very resistant to black magic. .”

"Then try this again." Dudley took out a dark object from his pocket, tossed it up and down, and then threw it towards where the pendant was.

"Boom!"

The flames soaring into the sky were accompanied by slight vibrations on the ground.

"The grenade cannot cause any effective damage to the Horcrux, which shows that the Horcrux has a very strong resistance to shock waves and thermal radiation. Similarly, the freezing spell attached to the grenade has no effect. The resistance of the Horcrux to magic The sex is surprisingly strong.”

These things were all made by Dudley in Nurmengard Castle during his vacation. The bullets and gun bodies have been modified and can theoretically be used even in Hogwarts.

It's a pity that the current manufacturing process of such weapons is too complicated to be mass-produced, and Dudley's is also relatively limited.

"If we can figure out the principle of Horcrux defense spell, then we can theoretically develop so-called magic immunity/magic resistance equipment."

After several days of experiments, the pendant at this time has completely lost its shiny appearance. The golden edges of the original box have long been worn away, and the entire box is covered with small holes and various scratches. There are so many marks that you can’t even count them, and it’s reached the point where even if it’s thrown into the trash, no one else would bother to pick it up.

The only thing worthy of praise is that except for the crack that Dudley pinched earlier, the other damage is repairable.

Dudley put the pendant away again. The next time it was almost the final stage of the experiment, he was going to use the CL-20 he had shown Grindelwald.

Looking at the data recorded by Hermione, Dudley, who had finished today's experiment, took out a phone bug from his pocket and dialed a number.

"Professor Grindelwald, today's experimental data is like this."

Horcruxes are actually very interesting. According to experiments, they can protect against most magic and even most of the damage from bombs. However, they cannot protect against the fangs and venom of basilisks. It stands to reason that the material of Horcruxes is inorganic and will not be affected by it. It is affected by biological toxins. In fact, the venom of the basilisk can 'kill' Horcruxes. In addition, Horcruxes have certain thoughts.

This made Dudley think about whether the Horcrux was transformed into an alternative 'creature' after receiving the fragments of the maker's soul.

He now wished he could grab a few more Horcruxes for further research.

He felt that this was very helpful in the development of his magic costume.

Chapter 357 351 Senior Undersecretary of the Ministry of Magic

The pendant ultimately failed to survive the destruction of CL-20.

Although CL-20 is essentially a bomb, its destructive power exceeded the limit that the Horcrux could withstand, and the pendant box was blown into pieces as expected.

Dudley felt that there was a hint of relief on the twisted face formed by the black smoke.

Then it hit the refining formation as expected and turned into a philosopher's stone and magic crystal.

Those fragments were not wasted, they were collected by Dudley and reduced into materials using the refining array.

The most useful thing about the formation is this. As long as you understand the principle, it is the best assembler and disassembler. It is also a 100% raw material restorer.

Kreacher saw with his own eyes that the pendant he had no control over was destroyed, and while bursting into tears, his attitude towards Dudley immediately became respectful, and his attitude towards other people also improved.

A sumptuous meal was prepared that night, and Ron was very happy. He got a large pot of chicken drumsticks as he wished, and he was so happy that he even ignored the other party scolding him.

The first day of school arrived as scheduled, and Kingdom Cross Station once again saw its peak flow of people.

Countless little wizards pushed their trolleys and disappeared at platform nine and a quarter, without attracting anyone's attention as always.

On the Hogwarts Express, several people sat together and discussed their new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher.

"Anyone who would choose this kind of teaching material can only be an idiot."

Ron took the thick "Magic Defense Theory" and knocked on the cover hard and said: "I guess it's Reggie Cattermole from the Magic Maintenance Department. No matter what he does, accidents will happen. If it's him, If so, I will definitely choose this book.”

"No, I think it's Carutil Mephisto. He doesn't want this course to be taught at Hogwarts. He stubbornly believes that the wizarding world is safe. There are no dark wizards and no black magic at all. Listen. Said he had sent letters of complaint to the Ministry of Magic for six consecutive years."

Neville took over the topic.

At this time, the door to the box was pushed open, and Draco walked in with a somewhat depressed expression.

"Didn't you go to find Crabbe and Goyle?"

Ron asked curiously when he saw him. Draco usually went to find his two followers on the express.

"They seemed to be avoiding me."

Draco said dullly: "It seems like something happened in their family."

Then he shook his head and arranged his hair: "Don't mention this. Are you discussing this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher?"

Seeing Harry and the others nodding, they added, "I heard from Pansy and Daphne that this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher is Fudge's confidant, Dolores Jane Umbridge, Senior Undersecretary of the Ministry of Magic."

"Deputy Minister?"

"advanced?"

Ron was shocked by these two names. The deputy minister was still a senior person, which was really bluffing.

"Is there a position like this in the Ministry of Magic?"

"Why is there Jane in her name?" Hermione frowned slightly and said, "Also, I looked through the Ministry of Magic job listings and didn't see this position."

"It didn't happen before, but it has happened since Fudge came to power."

Draco shrugged: "Fudge likes to do this kind of thing. I also heard that he is planning to apply for a first-class Merlin Order."

"Him? Did he invent something? Or donate a lot of money?"

Ron was stunned again. Why does it feel like everyone has a first-class Order of Merlin?Isn’t this something that has been rare for many, many years?

Counting Fu Ji, I have heard of three winners.

"Him? Do you think Fudge is someone who can invent something?"

Facing Draco's question, Ron shook his head decisively.

That bald guy looks like a guy with no skills at first glance.

"Then he seems very rich to you?"

Ron shook his head again.

That bald man doesn't look like a rich man.

Draco spread his hands: "Then it's over."

Ron was still confused and asked dully: "Then how did he apply for the Order of Merlin?"

"Correction, he wanted to apply but hasn't received it yet." Draco looked at Ron seriously and made sure that he really didn't know before he said, "Because he is the Minister of Magic, the Order of Merlin First Class must be signed by him. confirm."

"Some sycophants gave him advice to please him, and he acted on it."

Ron covered his mouth: "Ministry of Magic this and this"
