baffling.

Chapter 48 Characteristics of Horcruxes

Going up to the principal's office on the eighth floor alone, Kate hadn't even knocked on the door when a big red and golden bird flew towards her.

"Fox? Your feathers have grown back!" Kate hugged it in surprise, and carried it into the office like a big goose.

But as soon as she walked in, she saw a tall boy with black hair tied up and sitting in the middle of the living room.

"You are..." For some reason, Kate always felt that this boy looked a little familiar, and when she took a few steps closer with Fox in her arms, she saw him slowly raise his head.

The boy's entire figure seemed to be covered in a shimmering mist, appearing indistinct.

But he raised his head, and the youthful appearance of Yinglun almost surprised Kate so much that he even threw Fox out of his hand.

"Tom Riddle?" She read out the name of the other party in a daze, "Why are you here?"

He glanced around hastily, Dumbledore was not in this office, and there was no one else except her and Riddle.

Riddle's face was very weak, but his eyes were still fixed on her: "Catherine, is that you?"

Kate's face trembled, and she took a step back vigilantly, while raising her head slightly: "It seems that you have had a bad time, Tom."

"Isn't this all thanks to you?" Riddle's eyes showed strong hatred, "You have already discussed with Dumbledore how to deal with me, so you have been deceiving me."

Kate was silent for a moment, and finally recovered her composure from the turbulent mood. She calmly put Fox back on the perch, and grabbed a handful of bird food to feed it.

Her indifference to her accusations completely enraged Riddle, he struggled hard, and yelled at her: "You asked Dumbledore to keep me, what on earth do you want!"

Did Old Deng leave it on purpose?

Glancing secretly at the desk, Kate realized that the outer shell of the diary had become riddled with holes. She didn't know what had happened to make it like this.

No wonder, this little Voldemort's mental state was even more unstable than before.

"What do you think I want to do?"

After Kate fed Fox the bird food, she slowly walked up to it, with a brighter smile on her face.

"You are the soul fragment of the Dark Lord. Through you, you can get a lot of information about him."

She looked at Riddle's increasingly pale face with satisfaction, and slightly raised her lips.

No matter what the other party said, it was Voldemort's soul fragment, and it should be very clear that Dumbledore left it to explore more secrets of Voldemort.

However, judging from its current state, Lao Deng should have tried many methods, but still failed to pry any information about Voldemort or other Horcruxes from its mouth.

In fact, this is also very normal. The diary is a Horcrux that only came out when Voldemort was in fifth grade. It stands to reason that he should only know about his pre-fifth grade.

After that, you can only rely on the words written by outsiders to obtain information from the outside world.

So although the little Riddle in front of him could perceive that Voldemort split other souls later, it is very possible that he didn't know where Voldemort's other Horcruxes were.

But Dumbledore should still not be reconciled, so he let her come up, and then set his words.

Judging from a few words and Riddle's current state, Dumbledore's purpose for coming to her this time, Kate consciously glanced at the innermost cubicle of the office.

Now Old Deng is mostly hiding inside to watch the play.

"I guess you've probably dealt with Dumbledore already, he's old and doesn't have enough energy, so let me ask again, where the Dark Lord hides his other Horcruxes."

Kate moved a chair and sat down in front of him, and directly stated her purpose.

"Your real name is not Catherine, is it?" Riddle was not moved by her words at all, and kept staring at her fiercely.

"You know, if my body knows your identity, what will happen to you one day in the future?"

"It will make you unable to live and die!"

Riddle smiled evilly, and the vicious words that came out of his mouth made people tremble uncontrollably.

He stared straight at Kate, with a weird smile on his face: "Not only you, but also Dumbledore, and your relatives and friends, they will all die because of you!"

Kate was silent for a while, then directly pulled out her wand, and aimed at the diary on the table over there, a flame binding came.

In an instant, Riddle's already illusory body was quickly eroded by the flames one after another, and he couldn't help but scream out in pain.

"You want to irritate me and let me kill you directly." Kate exposed his purpose without any concealment. "But your acting skills are too bad. I suggest you go to Lan Xiang for further training next time."

Saying that, the blue flame picked up the diary and threw it at Kate's feet.

The moment the flame disappeared, Riddle finally gasped and stopped howling. He lowered his head, almost speechless in pain.

"Now that the performance is over, let's get to the point." Kate stepped on the diary under her feet, and asked in a flat voice, "Did your main body create other Horcruxes? What are they? Hidden Where?"

Riddle kept his head down all the time, except for the occasional twitch due to the pain on his body, he never reacted at all.

Thinking about it too, how could a guy who could persist under Lao Deng for so long and still refuse to say a word, speak because of her few words.

Kate scratched her face helplessly, and had no choice but to start to analyze by herself: "I checked in the book, the Horcrux is a storage object that splits the soul and hides part of it outside the body.

This object can be very ordinary and inconspicuous, such as a grain of sand in the desert, or a drop of water in the sea.

As long as the Horcrux is not destroyed, even if the body dies, it can return to the world with the soul stored in the Horcrux. This is the eternal life that Tom Riddle is looking forward to, right? "

The other party did not answer.

"Well, since you can make Horcruxes out of all kinds of humble things, but after you killed Myrtle with the basilisk in fifth grade, you made your first Horcrux with the diary you carried with you, which is This you now.

Obviously you have countless other choices, but why did you choose this diary that has been with you for several years?This would obviously expose your Horcrux faster, wouldn't it? "

As if being poked into something, Riddle silently raised his head, his blood-red eyes staring straight into hers.

But Kate was completely unmoved, and continued to analyze: "I also asked Dumbledore, and he said that you are an orphan, and he took you from the orphanage to Hogwarts.

In other words, at that time, you didn’t have any valuables on you, and you were a poor student who bought even the textbooks with the school’s stipends. "

Seeing Riddle's teeth clenched suddenly, Kate laughed instead: "Did I hit the sore spot?"

It's not over yet.

"At that time, you were penniless, except for those textbooks and stationery, the most special thing was probably the diary you brought from the orphanage.

So, can I think that in Tom Riddle's eyes, the meaning and connotation of the Horcrux carrier is much greater than the safety of its storage.

So I think after your fifth grade, if you want to make a Horcrux, you should also find those things that are of great significance to you as carriers. "

These are actually deduction verifications from the perspective of God, but in any case, seeing Riddle's current reaction, she can prove that she is not wrong.

"Even so, the range of things important to Tom Riddle is too large.

For a poor fifth-grade student at that time, the most important thing might be a diary.

But for the future Dark Lord, what will be the most important thing? "

Kate tilted her head, questioning him.

"Hmph!" Riddle sneered, and said in a weak voice, "Just pretend that you are right, but so what?

You and Dumbledore will never be able to pry out the whereabouts and carriers of other Horcruxes from my mouth, so die as soon as possible! "

Kate raised her eyebrows when she heard this: "So, there are indeed other Horcruxes that exist in plural, and they are all important items of Tom Riddle. Thank you for your important information."

After she finished speaking, she saw Riddle's face change suddenly, but before he could yell, she stood up first: "Professor, I have asked all the questions I should ask, do you have any other instructions?"

There was the sound of something falling from the small compartment inside, and Dumbledore came out of it, still struggling to kick away the Bibi Strange Beans that had fallen to the ground.

"Oh, I ate a booger-flavored one in it just now." He frowned inexplicably, and handed her the half-packed Bibi's strange-flavored beans in his hand, "Would you like to try it?"

Kate took it calmly, completely ignoring the diary that was still under her feet, grabbed one and put it in her mouth: "Roasted cotton candy!"

Dumbledore sighed: "Next time I'll avoid this kind of candy."

He's never had much luck in that regard.

The two chatted about candy for a long time as if there was no one else around, and Riddle, who was tossed so badly behind, finally couldn't help but yelled out: "Dumbledore! You kill me!"

Kate shrugged, picked up the diary under her feet and gave it to him: "Has this guy always been this noisy?"

"Maybe part of the reason was stimulated by you." Dumbledore smiled slightly, took out the small wooden box before, and put the diary in it.

In an instant, Riddle's phantom also disappeared.

"This box was left to you by Nicole Flamel," he said holding up the box, "I think you probably don't know what it is for."

Kate looked at the golden pattern on it thoughtfully: "Could it be possible to completely isolate the contents of the box from the outside world?"

Dumbledore nodded in relief.

The isolation here is not just simply packing up the diary, but actually cutting it off from everything, including the connection between the Horcrux and the soul of the body.

"This box was originally used by Niko to hold those highly active alchemy materials, and only such a device can better preserve the alchemy equipment. I didn't expect that it was accidentally hit by you and used to hold the Horcrux."

Kate raised her eyebrows in surprise. So, she doesn't need to keep a diary in the future, and she can still use this thing as a fresh-keeping box. She can put fruits and vegetables in it when she has nothing to do?

"Then give it a try after you're done using it." She smiled playfully, and the room was filled with a happy atmosphere for a moment.

As for the quarantined diary?

Who cares how it feels!

Not addressing it directly is enough to give it face.

"Speaking of which, I am very satisfied with your performance today." Dumbledore poured another cup of black tea.

Kate hurriedly took the teacup away before he put the sugar in, and said with a haha, "It's just a coincidence,"

The main reason is that the posture just now was too similar to the scene where Lao Deng deliberately tested her before, so she couldn't do it without thinking about it.

She would not be arrogant to think that Lao Deng would fail to guess the analysis she just said.

He is the person who knows Voldemort best in the world!

After taking a sip of warm black tea, she asked again: "Although I have deduced some conditions, there are so many things that meet these conditions, and I am afraid it is still difficult to find."

Although she said so, she also knew very well that this was Dumbledore.

In the original book, he was able to find most of Voldemort's Horcruxes without any clues. Now with these speculations, it is enough for him to find a bunch of things.

It's better to start the investigation now than to start processing Horcruxes in batches in the sixth year in the original book.

"I'll take care of this, you don't have to worry about it." Dumbledore took a sip of his special milk tea, and still winked at her narrowly, "I heard that you were confessed in class today?"

The turning speed of this topic was comparable to that of a roller coaster. Kate was almost choked to death. She blushed and coughed several times before recovering: "Professor, how do you know..."

"Professor McGonagall told me," said Dumbledore with a smile, "it seems that you are unexpectedly popular."

Kate chuckled: "Stop teasing me, this mysterious man is still alive, how can I even think about those things? Let alone..."

What's more, she doesn't like the type of Amber.

Miss Tsundere or something, just having Malfoy is enough for her.

Thinking of Malfoy's appearance tonight, and Hermione's escape this afternoon, she felt tired for a while.

"Professor, there is nothing else, I'll go first." She said with her head down.

Dumbledore raised his eyebrows lightly, "I think as a bad old man over 100 years old, maybe I can give you some life experience for reference."

Kate was taken aback, "Professor, what do you mean..."

"When people around you are emotionally abnormal, if you can't find your problem, then you can think about how they think of you."

What would Hermione and Malfoy think of her?

Although the two people have very different identities and experiences, they still have a little similarity in personality.

So what they both thought of her...

As if thinking of something, Kate frowned, and when she looked up again, she found that Dumbledore had disappeared again.

Tsk, the old man ran away halfway through his words!

Chapter 49 Hermione's Deterrence

Walking out of the office full of doubts, Kate thought about what Dumbledore had said before he left.

Hermione suddenly knew that she liked the same sex, and she escaped after being stimulated for a while.
