Dumbledore held his hands together and placed them on the desk.

He didn't seem surprised when he heard Sherlock's words, but was thinking, as if he was hesitating about something.

Sherlock did not disturb him, he knew that there were many secrets in the old man's mind.

Every time he is thinking, it means that his next words will involve an extremely secret matter.

After a moment, Dumbledore's eyes looked at Sherlock again.

"I didn't expect that after just going through this, you'll find so much, Sherlock."

He said seriously.

"About Riddle, this matter can be said to be something he pursued for his whole life. If I tell you, then you will have no turning back and he will do everything possible to kill every insider."

Sherlock naturally knew that the real Tom Riddle, Voldemort, was not dead yet.

He asked Dumbledore's diary for the simple reason.

Voldemort's remnant soul is hidden in the diary, and Sherlock needs this fragmented soul for soul stitching.

When he woke up in the school hospital, he found that his soul seemed to be too big to crack. The dots formed by the residual soul in the diary were only sewn to about one-fifth to about one-sixth of the extent.

But with such a little soul combined, Sherlock could clearly realize that the strength of all the spells and deformation spells he used was significantly improved.

It's like taking a big tonic pill.

The most important thing is that in the lounge, he seemed to have become unprecedentedly powerful in the end, and the feeling of being able to kill the snake monster with just one thought seemed to be preserved.

He learned a kind of magic as if he had learned it without a teacher.

A magic that does not require waving a staff or chanting a mantra. Just have a thought to directly interfere with reality.

However, the strength of this magic is far less powerful than the invincible state when the soul stitches were just completed.

But it's still very powerful.

During the process of soul stitching, Sherlock also found that his soul seemed to be not torn apart.

The real stitching is not the torn soul, but the original two complete souls!

One of them is a soul that is dominated by time, Charlotte.

The other is that the original owner has completely lost his soul.

Originally, when Sherlock came over, the original owner's soul was equivalent to death and was gradually disappearing.

But the magic of soul stitching is equivalent to forcibly fusion of the original owner's soul and Sherlock, so that the soul of Sherlock will be enhanced by one point every time it is fusion. After it is completely integrated, it will produce an effect of 1+1>2!

The magic of the Harry Potter world exists—inherited from the bloodline of the ancestors, and its power—from the soul of the wizard.

The stronger the soul is, the stronger the spell it is used.

So Sherlock actually had a bad idea about Voldemort's remnant soul.

He felt that Voldemort must have more than one thing like a diary, and now it seems that only Voldemort has it.

This also made Sherlock, who had originally planned to be a professor of black magic defense in Hogwarts for a year, and if he was lucky enough to survive without losing his arms or legs, he would just quit his job and change his plan.

It is safe outside, but there must be few people who have contact with Voldemort.

He has been staying in Hogwarts, including Dumbledore and Harry Potter, two of the top activists who have hit Voldemort, and he can also follow behind and drink a sip of soup.

So, when faced with Dumbledore's words, Sherlock had nothing to hesitate, and he waved his hand and said.

"Professor, do you think he can let me go if I have ruined one of his remnant souls?"

Dumbledore was also silent.

Sherlock was right. Regardless of whether he knew about the Horcruxes or not, he had now destroyed one. If Voldemort knew about it, he would definitely not let him go.

The threat of informedness seems less important.

"Riddle's most desire for life is immortality." Dumbledore said softly.

"It feels very low." Sherlock shrugged.

Dumbledore laughed.

"Compared with other great ideals, Tom's ideal of pursuing immortality is that it is somewhat less appreciated. But he finally has a goal to strive for."

"When he was in school at Hogwarts, he got a way to live forever - the Horcrux."

Sherlock was stunned and repeated it.

"Horcrux..."

He was obviously familiar with this term. He had seen it in the library's forbidden book area. The book "Analysis of High-end Black Magic" depicted such an extremely evil magic.

"Yes, Horcrux," Dumbledore continued, "This is a magic that can split the soul of a wizard and house it on different items. As long as the Horcrux is not destroyed, the wizard who uses his own soul to create the Horcrux will never die."

"Voldemort, he mastered this magic."

Sherlock asked with a blink of an eye.

"Can Horcrux make many?"

“In theory, infinite splits can be performed.”

"How many Horcruxes did Voldemort make for himself?"

Dumbledore shook his head.

"This is what I want to know. To kill Voldemort not only wants to defeat him, but also destroy all his Horcruxes. After I learned this, I have been searching for Horcruxes. At present, there is no discovery yet. The diary you destroyed is the only Horcrux known now."

He turned to look at the portraits of the previous principals on the wall, and white light reflected on the crescent-shaped glasses, Dumbledore said softly.

"But we still have time for Sherlock. By studying Riddle's past, we will always find out what he made into a Horcrux and how many Horcruxes he made."

After chatting with Dumbledore, Sherlock left Dumbledore's office.

Next, the principal will receive many guests, Neville's grandmother, Harry, Ron, and Lucius Malfoy.

He did not blame Neville. Riddle's sweet words deceived many adult wizards. It was already very brave for a child like Neville to struggle to get rid of his control.

Harry also knew about the diary in the office, which was what Lucius deliberately planned to throw it into Hogwarts.

His house elf Dobby knew all this, so he kept stopping Harry from returning to Hogwarts.

When Lucius left, Harry set up a small trap, allowing Lucius to accidentally give Dobby a sock, which would be equivalent to returning the freedom of the house-elf and liberating Dobby from the Malfoy's house.

Tonight, Hogwarts held a celebration dinner, and the students were very happy and the professors were very happy.

Flewy and Professor McGonagall frequently came to raise glasses with Sherlock. Even Snape, who had been cold-faced, found Sherlock by clinking glasses and asked about the transformation he had killed the Basilisk.

Dumbledore did not announce who the successor of Slytherin was, nor did he say that Navigh was controlled and opened the secret room to release the message of the Basilisk.

But the secret room was opened, and the monster inside was a basilisk monster, and he did not hide the matter of killing her together by Sherlock and Harry.

Even the reporter of the Prophet Daily took a photo for Sherlock, Harry, Ron and Neville to use it as the headlines of the newspaper the next day.

No one of Sherlock's contributions to defeating the Basilisk. Harry and the other two were solving the mystery of the secret room and their help in the lounge were obvious to all.

The corpse of the basilisk was also bought by Snape himself, as well as the snake skin found in the secret room.

He paid five thousand golds, and the money was divided equally by Sherlock and Harry.

After Ron received the money, he consciously handed over most of the money to his family, and then exchanged himself for a new wand and new clothes with the remaining money.

Harry did not give the money exclusively, or with his wealth, more than a thousand Gallon was not much money for him. He divided the money he had received and half of the money he woke up with Hermione.

If it weren't for the information left by Hermione, he wouldn't have found the entrance to the secret room in the end.

Not only was Neville not punished this time, he also obtained an unexpected fortune, which made him laugh all day long.

His grandmother was very proud of Neville after she heard that Gryffindor had been recognized by Gryffindor and pulled out Gryffindor's sword from the course hat.

The reason why she got five thousand gallons was the result of bargaining between Sherlock and Snape.

The value of the basilisk, especially in the Hogwarts Secret Room, is actually immeasurable.

Snape's old stingy actually gave only one thousand Gallons at the beginning.

He said that the snake monster's snake skin was poked by Sherlock, and most of the internal organs were damaged to varying degrees, and the medicinal value was no longer very high.

If Harry and the others were embarrassed to speak due to Snape's majesty and the professor's identity, they might have set the price like this.

But Sherlock would not suffer such a loss. He and Snape fought each other for a long time, and brought the old bat to a very strong energy, and finally raised the price to 5,000 Gallons.

Even if it was five thousand gallons, Sherlock felt that he was going to be less.

If you really sell it outside, the value of the Thousand-Year Basilisk Monster will probably be a little higher.

But after all, this snake monster is just an unexpected gain. It is good to be able to sell 5,000 Jialong, making a small fortune.

His biggest gain this time came from Voldemort's gift, his remnant soul.

After the secret room was over, Haeger was also released by the Ministry of Magic.

Before he could be happy to return to Hogwarts, he received a very unfortunate news from the Horseman.
