139 Horcruxes? Harry Is Actually A Pig Waiting To Be Slaughtered?

Grindelwald Manor, Wiltshire.

Although spring has passed for a long time, the fireplace in the manor is still burning.

Under the effect of magic, the high temperature generated by the flame cannot affect anyone in the house.

The crackling sound echoed in the spacious living room.

Vinda Rosier, Gellert Grindelwald right-hand woman. At this moment, she obeyed Lucas' order and led the people out of the villa.

Lucas sat opposite Professor Snape, with their favorite drinks in front of the two of them.

"Professor, please don't be restrained, just treat this place as your own home."

"Say what you want to say quickly."

Professor Snape was still the same.

Expressionless, cold and rude.

"Well, then, I want to talk to you about Harry Potter."

There was a ripple in the empty eyes, and a deep voice sounded: "Potter?"

"But I don't think we need to worry about Potter's matter."

Professor Snape stood up from the sofa, apparently not intending to listen any more.

Lucas was in no hurry.

Instead, he waited for Snape to approach the door before opening his mouth.

"Does it not matter even if Harry Potter dies? He is Lily Potter's, no, it should be said that he is the only son of Lily Evans."

Professor Snape did stop.

He frowned, and turned to look suspiciously at Lucas on the sofa.

The blond boy raised his hand, inviting him to return to his seat.

"Professor, have you heard of Horcruxes?"

"Horcruxes?"

Snape showed a puzzled expression, he didn't understand what Harry's life or death had to do with some messed up Horcrux.

Lucas didn't give him an answer right away. Instead, he first explained the origin and function of the Horcrux.

"According to legend, in ancient Greece, a powerful dark wizard appeared in the world. He was the first person to create a basilisk, and he was also the creator of many black magics."

"He was known as 'Herpo the foul', one of the earliest known Dark wizards."

"Why are you telling me this?" Snape was slightly impatient.

Although the basilisk aroused some interest in him, he just wanted to know why Harry Potter's life was at risk.

Whether it has something to do with the so-called Horcrux.

Lucas signaled him to be calm, and then continued to talk.

"Because of Herpo's continuous experimentation with black magic, many innocent people were killed."

"With more and more killings, Herpo found that his soul began to become broken."

"He didn't panic because of this, but had a whim, what would happen if he took out part of his soul and stored it somewhere?"

"So he started to experiment, and succeeded once, using the killing curse to murder someone while at the same time having the intent of separating a piece of his soul, later placing that piece into an object. The artifact that resulted from this was the first Horcrux."

Snape frowned upon hearing this. He is no fool so naturally, he can feel the extraordinariness of the Horcrux.

"What is the function of Horcruxes? It's not as simple as storing souls, is it?"

Lucas nodded and shook his head.

"It is true that it can only store souls, but even if it is the most common thing, as long as it is made into a Horcrux, it will become the most evil black magic item in the world."

"Because of being protected by black magic, except for a few specific methods, the Horcrux is almost indestructible, and the soul fragment inside will not be harmed."

"It is precisely because of this that people with Horcruxes become immortal in a broad sense, even if their bodies are attacked or destroyed."

"Because part of the soul in the Horcrux was not attacked, this person can still live in this world."

After listening to Lucas' introduction Snape's eyes were filled with shock.

It took a while for him to calm down. He raised his head to look at the blond boy opposite.

"There is no evidence for what you say, so why should I believe you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Snape saw the boy handing him a book.

"The production methods of Horcruxes are all recorded in a book called "Secrets of the darkest arts"."

"I saw this book in the Hogwarts library directory, but unfortunately I couldn't find it."

"Fortunately, Merlin took care of me and let me discover these research notes in another place."

Snape took the thick stack of research notes.

It seems that the research notes should have existed for a long time, because the decay is very serious.

Slowly opening the first page, Salazar Slytherin's signature came into view.

"This is?"

"That's right, it's Lord Slytherin's research notes, which I got by chance."

Lucas guided the Professor to find the pages that talk about Horcruxes and quietly waited for Professor Snape to finish reading.

When the other party raised his head, before he had time to ask a question, Lucas spoke first.

"If you still don't believe it, you can consult someone, Professor Horace Slughorn, I think you are familiar with him."

"Of course." Snape nodded, "He was my potions professor when I was in school, and he is a very knowledgeable person."

"That's right, Professor Slughorn's knowledge is indeed profound, he had revealed the secret of making Horcruxes to a person decades ago."

Professor Snape closed his notebook, closed his eyes and tried to digest what he heard.

After a while he looked back at Lucas.

"Then what does this have to do with Potter? Could he be a Horcrux? Salazar's notes said that Horcruxes are mostly used on objects, but they didn't say that living people can also be used."

Lucas did not argue with him, but instead asked: "Professor, don't you wonder why Harry can speak Parseltongue?"

"The strangest thing is that he doesn't even know he's a Parseltongue."

"According to my research, whether it is the Potter family or the ancestors of Lily Evans, there has never been a Parseltongue."

"On the contrary, there is a man who is a descendant of Salazar Slytherin, and Parseltongue is his innate gift."

"Coincidentally, this is the same person who discussed Horcruxes with Professor Slughorn."

"It's been rumored that he was defeated, that he's dead, but Professor Snape should know best whether he's dead or not."

There was a hint of panic in Snape's eyes and his right hand unconsciously clenched his left arm.

There is a special mark there. Although the color is light, as long as it doesn't disappear, it proves that the person who placed it is still alive.

"How many?"

"What?" Lucas looked across curiously.

Professor Snape repeated: "How many Horcruxes does that person have? Since you have investigated it, you must have found out too?"

"No, no, I only found a few, but I don't know exactly how many Horcruxes that guy created."

"However, I'm sure that Harry Potter must be one of them. When Lily Potter was protecting her own child, she defeated that person."

"That person had already made a Horcrux at that time, and his soul was already in an unstable state, so it was easy for his soul to fracture unintentionally after having his body destroyed."

"And in the whole room at that time, the only one who was still alive was Harry Potter, so he accidentally became a Horcrux."

"That's why he can also speak Parseltongue. This also confirms the original prophecy that the Dark Lord will personally mark him as his enemy."

At first, Snape was surprised that Lucas knew of the prophecy, but after thinking about it, he was sure it must be Dumbledore's doing.

After this conversation, the living room fell into a long silence.

Snape reopened Salazar's research notes and read the information about Horcruxes word by word.

Lucas ordered the house elf to prepare two cups of tea again, then waited for the other person to ask himself.

After about half an hour or so, Professor Snape snapped the research notes shut.

"It doesn't say how to extract the soul fragment, it only talks about how to destroy the Horcrux."

Lucas nodded affirmatively: "That's right, if you want to kill Voldemort, you must first destroy all the Horcruxes he made."

"How many did you find?"

Lucas looked at the old bat opposite with a little surprise.

"Two, if you count the diary that appeared in the Chamber of Secrets, there are three Horcruxes that have appeared till now."

"They are Ravenclaw's Diadem, Hufflepuff's Cup, and the Diary that opened the Chamber of Secrets."

Professor Snape was taken aback, then nodded and said: "Making these relics into Horcruxes really fits the Dark Lord's personality."

"But a Diary?"

Thinking of the diary being in Dumbledore's hands, Snape's face changed slightly.

"So Dumbledore knows about the Horcruxes too?"

"I'm not sure if he knew it before, but after this Chamber of Secrets incident, he must have learned about it, and he should also know that there may be a soul fragment in Harry's body."

Bringing up Harry Potter, there was a hint of resentment in Professor Snape's eyes.

"The boy...does the boy have to die?"

"That's right, not only does he need to die, but Voldemort must do it himself, so as to destroy the soul fragment in his body."

At this moment, there was finally an expression on Professor Snape's unchanging face.

With pain in his eyes, he looked at the ceiling and whispered.

"It turned out that the child was nothing more than a pig raised in captivity for slaughter."

"Professor!"

Lucas raised his voice.

When the other party looked at him, the magic power of Legilimency instantly entered the brain through the professor's eyes.

Severus Snape, as an Occlumency Specialist it's really not easy to use Legilimency on him. But taking advantage of his current state of mind Lucas started flipping through his memory.

Lucas' voice rang like a whisper in Snape's ear.

"What a beautiful girl, red hair, blue eyes, confident, excellent, oh and the Head Girl of the student body, it's amazing."

"Lily!" Professor Snape was lost in memory and unconsciously, he called out her name.

Lucas quickly found the memory of the night Lily Potter died.

Seeing Professor Snape hugging her dead body and crying bitterly, he was deeply shocked.

It was because the Professor Snape he saw was very different from the one he knew.

No, it should be said that Professor Snape in front of Lily Potter was an affectionate and warm person.

Lucas took a deep breath and prepared to start the next phase.

He came to Professor Snape and whispered: "Professor, don't you have any doubts about Lily Evans' death?"

"As a Muggle-born, where did she learn such a powerful protection spell?"

The voice just fell and Lucas felt that his Legilimency was interrupted.

When he looked at Professor Snape, he found that the other's eyes became hollow again.

(Support with power stones 🥺)
