11 Less than a year
Quidditch's own process is not very attractive to Sherlock, and this time it was not Slytherin who won. It has to be said that Ron was pretty good as Quidditch's goalkeeper and also helped Gryffindor win the game.
"I'm so disappointed with Malfoy and the others' performance!" Fimia murmured beside her as she left the Quidditch Stadium.
I don’t know why, Slytherin always maintains the habit of being suppressed by Gryffindor in the Quidditch game. It is obvious that every time Slytherin’s Quidditch team always clamors the most fierce, but it slaps it completely in the face.
"You can't blame Malfoy. Overall, we Slytherin is still relatively poor in Quidditch. We are the overall aspect, not a single person." Rubo was very upset about Slytherin losing to Gryffindor on Quidditch again.
Even his carefree and rough personality cannot find any complaints on the Quidditch team in Gryffindor. Instead, there are many complaints on his own team.
"Mr. Sherlock, go and participate in the Quidditch competition. If that happens, you will definitely win the Quidditch trophy." Feimiya began to encourage Sherlock, and Sherlock shook her head calmly. "It doesn't feel interesting. I don't really have much interest in a project like Quidditch."
Everyone was a little disappointed... but they had long known that Sherlock had always been less interested in competitive events like Quidditch.
"Sherlock!"
A dull, old-fashioned and serious voice came from behind. Sherlock and others looked back and found that it was Snape, the dean of Slytherin College.
"Come with me." Snape said to Sherlock. Although the other little snakes were curious, they would not doubt that Snape would have any bad things to look for Sherlock. After all, Snape, the dean of Slytherin College, has always valued Sherlock himself.
"Professor Snape may be planning to make Sherlock Quidditch's player, because always losing to Gryffindor will make Professor Snape very embarrassed." Rubo touched his chin and speculated, while others said that there was a possibility that it was seven or eight points.
But Snape actually brought Sherlock to an underground room in Hogwarts. The tunnels in Hogwarts were really circling. Sherlock thought that the tunnels discovered by James Porter on the map of the Living Spot were already complete, but he didn't expect that there were tunnels not recorded by the Living Spot Map.
"Maybe you will be shocked, but...this is the fact. You can't imagine the state of my heart when he came to me last night, so I hope you can keep calm, too." Snape said to Sherlock.
"Is Professor Dumbledore back?" Sherlock asked.
Snape remained silent. This kid was really smart enough. Snape was not as clear as he said, but the other party could guess it at once.
He opened a door on the inner wall of the tunnel, which was a relatively narrow internal space.
After Sherlock walked in, there was a very strong smell of herbs and potions, and even a little rotten smell, just like the musty smell that had been piled up for a long time, which was particularly obvious in the air.
The old man with a gray beard and haggard lies on the bed. Dumbledore looks in a bad state. Sherlock doubts how Dumbledore, who was in such a weak state, came back last night.
"This room is too narrow, and there is not even a place for you to wait for a seat." Dumbledore said weakly.
"It's okay, Principal, you don't look like you now, so I'm in the mood to sit here safely." Sherlock glanced at Dumbledore and then sighed, "Is there an accident when destroying the Horcrux?"
"I'm too careless." Dumbledore said annoyed.
He stretched out his right hand, and his whole arm was like burnt black charcoal. Sherlock's magic sense was very sharp, which was an effect caused by a very pure black magic curse.
If Dumbledore was not killed directly, it was considered that this old guy was extremely powerful.
"Did you destroy that Horcrux?" Sherlock asked, because the basil monster in this world was solved by Sherlock himself, and the blood of the basil monster did not touch Gryffindor's sword, which means that Gryffindor's sword probably does not have the ability to destroy Horcrux.
But it is not necessarily true. Even monsters like Snake Monster that have lived for thousands of years can kill them at once. Who knows whether the sword can destroy the Horcrux's weapon with the blood of the Snake Monster?
"It's indeed ruined, Marvoro Gunter's ring." Dumbledore glanced at Snape next to him, and the other party picked up a wooden box from the head of the bed, and when he opened it, there was a ring inside.
Very quaint rings, which look expensive.
But what sherlock noticed the most was the resurrection stone, one of the legendary three death hallows, inlaid on the ring.
"Is this thing a resurrection stone, one of the rumored Deathly Hallows?" Sherlock buckled it hard, trying to take the stone off the ring, but unfortunately it was useless.
"Yes, this is the Resurrection Stone, you can recognize it all at once." Dumbledore said to Sherlock.
Sherlock held Mavorro Gunter's ring in his hand and wanted to use the power of resurrection.
It is a gift given to the three brothers by the legendary God of Death. It is called the Deathly Hallows together with the old wands and invisible clothes.
But it cannot truly resurrect the dead, but only attracts a substance that is more real than the soul and more illusory than the entity, just like Riddle who came out of the diary, and the resurrected person may not be happy.
Only those who really need it can have the Resurrection Stone.
Harry was the last master of the Resurrection Stone. He used the Resurrection Stone to recruit parents, godfathers and professor Lupin, who were more real than the soul, who existed in his memory. They talked to Harry and accompanied him until he was hit by the Death Curse, and he finally threw the Resurrection Stone into the Forbidden Forest in Hogwarts.
The resurrection stone itself is a stone that can bring people back to life, but the resurrected people will only have pessimism and can torture people mentally because they cannot get the real one and want to resurrect them.
Therefore, the resurrection stone is also one of the weapons. Giving the resurrection stone to the enemy is equivalent to giving the knife to the enemy and letting the enemy commit suicide.
It seems that if you hold the resurrection stone in your hand, you can see the person summoned deep in your heart, and Sherlock couldn't think of who he wanted to see. After all, none of his relatives and friends in this world have died.
"Why are you?"
Holding the resurrection stone in his hand, she saw the god of death who was teased by himself. Sherlock expressed quite disgust.
"It's indeed this stone. I have put a curse on it, but this stone is also a strange thing that can make people's eyes see the dead with their own eyes! The world where the dead live is the same as the real world, except that there is a wall that was once undetectable, and this stone can allow your eyes to see through this wall. He can see the soul of the dead. The so-called resurrection is just to let the two meet and not to be resurrection in the true sense."
Death continued, "But if the soul of the dead is unwilling to see you, then this stone will summon a false one that is more real than the soul, hidden in your memory, and it will satisfy the desire you want to see."
Sherlock curled his lips, "I feel that this stone is so cheap. Just like you, he actually made such a harmful thing at the beginning."
Sherlock put Marvolo's ring into the wooden box. The so-called God of Death was invisible and unhappy. Who cares if he was scolding Sherlock at this time?
"Who are you talking to?" Dumbledore asked weakly.
"grim Reaper!"
"Is he here to collect my soul?"
"No one is purely here to attract disgust."
"It seems that I have a living life for a while." Dumbledore began to become optimistic again.
"It's time to take medication, professor."
Snape picked up a huge crystal cup, full of pungent potions.
It is also difficult to let the stubborn elderly take medicine.
Dumbledore was very resistant to it, "Snape, there is nothing in this world that is more difficult to drink than your potion. Every time I drink this thing, I think I'll just die immediately."
"I have to use all the private goods in the warehouse to configure these potions for you," Snape said calmly.
"This process is really painful. It feels like the burnt bones are starting to grow again. Sometimes I really want to cut this arm." Dumbledore said uncomfortable.
Snape said, "It's useless. The power of the curse has penetrated into your soul. Even if you cut your arms, it's useless. The reason why your hand becomes like this is entirely because you put the ring on your right hand at that time."
"But I am still curious. Professor you use something to destroy the soul fragments in the ring. As long as it is an ordinary item but injected into the soul, it will become the most evil black magic item in the world. Horcruxes and Horcruxes are difficult to destroy with magic. To destroy things that can be restrained, you must pay a certain price to sacrifice."
Sherlock added, "Although my Homiz and the Stand-in-Law Man spell borrowed the principles of Horcrux, it is essentially different from Horcrux."
Dumbledore nodded, "Of course... you are like a monster in your magic attainment, and the reason why I destroyed the soul fragments in the Horcrux was borrowed from the power of Gryffindor's sword."
Sherlock frowned, and indeed leaned on Gryffindor's sword.
However, the sword in this world does not absorb the blood of the basilisk. It should not be able to destroy the Horcrux, but perhaps Gryffindor's sword itself has such powerful strength.
The fairy blade only absorbs things that can strengthen it. In the secret room of the original work, Ha used his sword to stab the snake monster to death. The sword was soaked in the venom of the snake monster. The venom of the snake monster is a substance that can destroy the Horcrux. The Gryffindor Sword absorbed the venom and also had the function of destroying the Horcrux.
It can absorb some substances, such as venom.
The sword does not need to be wiped, and the fairy's silver artifact can repel dust.
The Gryffindor Sword can even resist certain spells, such as the Fire and Copy spells.
It means that this sword is difficult to destroy by flames and cannot be copied.
It is impossible to decay when placed in soil and water. Instead, it will absorb the power of the earth, making the sword more powerful and sharper.
"No matter what, destroying the Horcrux can also be considered a severe blow to Voldemort!" Sherlock smiled.
"It's a pity that only seven destroyed one, and there are six left. I wonder if you have the whereabouts of several others, Professor Dumbledore. I may not be able to help you with the remaining Horcruxes," said Sherlock.
"Although a child has destroyed one, he cannot be lucky. Perhaps the person who is happier is Voldemort. After all, I can use a Horcrux to destroy me. There is a soul-level relationship between the Horcrux and the master. If you can destroy this ring, Voldemort will inevitably sense it. Maybe he will know my current physical condition."
Dumbledore's glasses reflect the light of worry. "I think he will definitely take action in the near future. It may be Harry or you, and I know you have set a bright trap for Voldemort in the Ministry of Magic."
"This is called open conspiracy!" Sherlock retorted.
"The meaning is almost the same. I am very weak in my current state..." he said.
"Then you should have a good rest. I'm here for the school," Sherlock said.
"Actually, Voldemort was a disadvantage at the beginning. I had me in the school, and you can support the Ministry of Magic at any time, but now... I can no longer show my strong side in front of Voldemort."
"Now Voldemort will pay much more attention to the Ministry of Magic than Hogwarts." Dumbledore was powerless.
His tone gradually became firm, "We must go to the Ministry of Magic. In the Mystery Department, there are some very important things to take. I have a premonition that Voldemort already knew the prophecy crystal hidden in the Mystery Department about him and Harry's fate. If he got it first and cracked the prophecy content, everything we did would have no meaning."
Dumbledore continued, "Sherlock, I feel that because of your appearance, maybe it was wrong for which prophecy of that year, but who knows it! And you are still putting the Book of Sherlock in the Ministry of Magic."
"But with your current state, if you go to the Ministry of Magic to encounter Voldemort, you may not have any chance of winning." Sherlock analyzed rationally. Even if it was just an external feeling, Dumbledore in front of him was extremely weak.
"I will rush to the Ministry of Magic at a critical moment. As long as there is no other accident at this stage, the overall situation is still in the grasp. The most important thing is that you should hide well in the school Professor Dumbledore. Except for us, we will never be able to know that you are so weak, especially..." Sherlock exhaled.
"In particular, Voldemort is likely to have noticed the state of Harry's connection with his soul..."
Sherlock looked back at Snape "Professor, how much time does Principal Dumbledore have?"
"In less than a year..."
