Chapter 1381: Even life itself!

Harry and Darren fell into the Pensieve again.

This was still Slughorn's office from last time.

At this moment, Tom was asking about Professor Merrythought's retirement.

Slughorn praised him.

"You clever boy, you are suited to work at the Ministry of Magic!"

"I have no background, I might not be able to get by there, and I am not pure-blood."

Voldemort's words made the surrounding students laugh.

Slughorn also laughed.

"Nonsense, with your ability, you must come from a wizarding family, don't worry!"

After that was another conversation they had.

Finally, it reached the end.

Tom stayed behind, and he asked about the question of Horcruxes.

"I didn't find much description at Hogwarts, but a wizard like you clearly seems to understand..."

"Of course, a Horcrux refers to an object that contains a part of a person's soul."

"But I don't quite understand how it works."

"It's splitting the soul and hiding a part of it in an object. This way, even if your body is destroyed, you won't die, because you still have a part of your soul remaining in the world."

Slughorn shuddered.

"That kind of living, very few people are willing to live like that, it's worse than death."

"Then, how do you split the soul?"

"Through murder. Murder can split the soul. Some evil wizards will utilize this situation, and then through a spell, hide the soul in an object; that completes a Horcrux."

"Then, that spell..."

"Don't ask me, I don't know. Even if I did, I wouldn't tell you. Do I look like a murderer?"

Slughorn breathed heavily.

Voldemort hurriedly hid the greed in his eyes.

"I'm sorry, Professor, I was just curious."

"Of course, I know, many wizards would be curious, would be attracted to the other side of magic."

"Yes, so as an academic question, Professor, does one piece of soul work? In the magical world, seven is a magical number, so how about splitting it into seven pieces..."

"What? Killing one person isn't enough? You actually want to kill seven?"

Slughorn shouted.

He somewhat regretted participating in this discussion.

He said in a low voice: "This is just an academic discussion, right?"

"Yes, I won't tell anyone."

Voldemort smiled.

It's just that the joy on his face washed away his handsomeness, making him look a bit hideous.

Darren watched Voldemort for a long time.

Finally, he reached a conclusion.

Sure enough, people who are handsome shouldn't smile like that either; it's too ugly.

Not paying attention to their image.

Dumbledore and Harry didn't know his thoughts.

They returned to reality.

Dumbledore sat in the chair.

He looked at the contemplative Darren and asked softly: "So, Darren, what clues can you get?"

"The first clue, clearly, Voldemort made Horcruxes. I think the textbook we encountered in our second year might have been his Horcrux!"

Dumbledore nodded. ===== CHAPTER 1383 =====
