People are in Hogwarts, and werewolves block the door at the beginning..

Chapter 140 Horcruxes with many side effects
"Basil, that interesting dream you mentioned must be his, right?" Dumbledore said in an extremely relaxed tone, as if he had unloaded a heavy burden.

Tom got another Horcrux, and he got it so easily.

He seemed to see Tom's bald head on his desk next year.

"Him? This locket is alive?" Sirius, who was most concerned about the locket at the moment, was the first to notice something wrong in Dumbledore's words.

Dumbledore was silent, and Flamel chuckled, "Isn't it just a Horcrux?"

"There's nothing to hide. Your sister is right. You are indeed a riddle man."

Lupin pricked up his ears. Sister? He had never heard that Dumbledore had a sister, a beloved sister?
"Horcruxes?" Sirius repeated, a smile beginning to form on his face.

Horcruxes are objects created by dark wizards to store soul fragments in order to make themselves immortal.

An object that contains part of a person's soul.

That is to say, split your soul and hide one part in an object outside the body.

In this way, even if the body is attacked or destroyed, one cannot die because part of the soul remains in the world, unharmed.

"So," Sirius's smile became even crazier, "this is the secret that allowed that bastard to remain immortal!"

Basil looked at Sirius sympathetically. There had never been a record of having multiple Horcruxes at the same time in the past few centuries, and no one had ever thought that it was possible. So Sirius seemed to think that this locket was Voldemort's only Horcrux.

"Great! Great! Your sacrifice is not in vain." Sirius was delighted.

The next second, he cursed again, "Damn it, you stupid idiot! You can't even tell the teacher! Why don't you go to Dumbledore?"

If I had told the teacher earlier.

After Voldemort attacks James' family, he will die completely.

Regulus could be as good as Snotlout, no, even better than Snotlout, and become a great hero in the wizarding world.

Most importantly, Regulus would be alive.

They would reconcile and live together in this big house.

Thinking of this, he looked at the locket with an even more ferocious look.

He looked at Dumbledore impatiently, "Can we destroy it now? If it is a Horcrux, as long as we destroy it, Voldemort who is still wandering outside will be killed instantly."

Kreacher also raised his wrinkled little face in anticipation.

Dumbledore shook his head. "Tom, that is, Voldemort, did not create just one Horcrux."

"In fact, we made a horrible discovery last year. Tom didn't seem to mind the loss of a Horcrux or two."

"The diary destroyed by Basil - another Horcrux (Sirius and Lupin looked at Basil in surprise), it was casually handed over to the Malfoy family for safekeeping without being told of its value."

"That bastard Lucius Malfoy sent the Horcrux to the school?" Sirius was shocked. "He's crazy! Draco is also studying at Hogwarts! It seems that his death is not unjust. But Basil, you destroyed it, and the bastard Lucius won't--"

Basil shrugged. "Yes, it was me he tried to kill. In fact, he tried to murder me before school started - by sending Fenir."

Lupin's hands clenched convulsively. "Is it him? Are you okay? I mean, you weren't bitten by him!"

Sirius added, "Don't get me wrong, Lupin was attacked by Fennel Greyback. He just kind of empathizes with him."

Lupin shook his head, "You don't have to hide it. I'm a werewolf."

"My father offended him. For a long time I had no idea who the werewolf who attacked me was."

"I even felt pity for him, thinking he couldn't control himself. By then I already knew what it felt like to be a wolf."

"But Greyback is not like that. He moves closer to his prey during a full moon, ensuring the success of his attack."

"He completely planned this. He was the man Voldemort used to recruit werewolves."

"Greyback insisted that we werewolves should drink blood and take revenge on normal humans. Fortunately, he is dead."

"Wait, can't it be that it's the same as that diary, Fenniel too."

Basil was very surprised. "Didn't you read the newspaper? I was also on the headlines, as the one who killed Fenniel."

"Although my name was not mentioned, combined with what just happened—"

Sirius: "I was too busy after I got out of prison."

Lupin said calmly and bitterly: "As a werewolf, it is difficult for me to find a job in the wizarding world. In fact, I have been away from the wizarding world for a long time. Of course, I haven't completely cut off communication."

"But I just knew that Fenniel was dead. Then I celebrated a little bit - I bought a cream cake at the cake shop."

"I'm sorry," he said, looking suddenly at Dumbledore, "I'm afraid I can't accept your invitation."

Sirius started to speak, but Lupin silenced him with a look.

"The child has been attacked by a werewolf. I can't force him to accept a werewolf professor. It would be too cruel."

"For a long time after graduation, as a werewolf, I was deeply afraid of the werewolf community."

“I know most of them are victims like me, but I’m just scared.”

Dumbledore said gently, "Why do you think that a boy who single-handedly destroyed Voldemort's Horcruxes would be afraid of werewolves?"

Bajir shrugged, "As long as you take the wolfsbane potion on time, I don't care about anything else."

Dumbledore: "That's Severus' job. He's a Potions expert."

Even though he was immersed in sorrow and anger, Sirius still jumped up like a dog smelling a bone, "What? Snotlout? Can we change someone else? He will definitely poison the medicine! Oh, by the way, I can buy wolfsbane potion with money!"

Lupin shook his head. "Forget it. If that's the case, what's the difference between that and you spending your money to support me?"

Sirius: "I do!"

Lupin ignored him and continued, "And Snape wouldn't poison the potion. At most, he would use his expertise to make the potion taste worse and smell worse without affecting its effectiveness. I can tolerate that. We have already done him a disservice."

"James and Lily are together, which is shameful in itself. If Lily knew that James, after turning over a new leaf, was only superficially friendly to Snape, Lily would not be with James."

Seeing that Sirius was about to protest, he added, "You and I should both know this well. We also covered this up."

Sirius dropped his head.

"How long are you going to talk about family matters, school life, and racism?" Flamel, who had been silent, began to speak. "Didn't you pay attention to what Dumbledore said?"

"According to what he said, Voldemort has at least four Horcruxes."

"What?" Sirius looked up again. "Dumbledore said that?"

If true, this is no small matter.

Creating a Horcrux requires splitting a person's soul - the essence of the self.

This can cause significant side effects.

First, loss of humanity

An incomplete soul leads to a loss of humanity.

The creation of a Horcrux causes one to become emotionally and physically less than human.

It is recorded in the Black family's collection of books that wizards who have made Horcruxes will have their values ​​and personality transformed in a strange way, and will become more interested in violence and less interested in using their brains.

Alvin the clever one, a dark wizard who is not handsome but good at strategy.

To kill a Muggle, he would have to come up with an elaborate and complicated plan.

But after making the Horcrux, his face suddenly became ugly. When he was about to kill a wizard who was as powerful as him, he actually broke into the wizard's house and brought his own Horcrux with him.

There are a total of five adult wizards in that wizard's family.

So, the results can be imagined.

Second, the soul is unstable

Another side effect of creating a Horcrux is that the soul itself becomes unstable.

The dark wizard Silly Banack is a good example.

He is a little-known dark wizard, whose original name is Barnack. He also made Horcruxes.

Due to the immortality brought by the Horcrux, he began to become arrogant and made enemies everywhere.

However, none of his enemies could find his Horcruxes.

And one day, Big Foot Rias claimed to have killed him and found his Horcrux.

It is said that Barnack thought she was beautiful, and in order to please her, he accidentally revealed the true identity of the Horcrux - his wand - when he was drunk.

She broke his wand and then killed her.

At first, people didn't believe it.

But after that, Banak really never showed up again.

Then, everyone started calling him Silly Banack.

But this is just the story told to the outside world.

Rias with big feet later married into the Black family.

The truth of the story is in her diary.

Her dueling skills are indeed superb.

During his duel with her, Silly Barnack was hit by a backfired Knot Curse and accidentally turned his wand into a Horcrux.

As for why, it can be created without killing.

This is because his soul has been destroyed to the limit, and if he creates this Horcrux, he will kill himself.

So, he created the Horcrux by killing himself.

Part 3: Blurred Fantasy
After the Horcrux is created, the main body of the soul and the soul fragments after the Horcrux is destroyed cannot truly enter the afterlife.

The Black family is a typical dark wizard family.

In its heyday, it even used wizards to conduct experiments on dark magic.

There was once an ancestor who, through the wizard's soul, entered the narrow gap between life and death when he was alive - he called it the Twilight Zone.

Because the place was filled with misty steam, and he could transform the steam into any inanimate object he could imagine.

Perhaps he entered in the wrong way, and there he met many famous dark wizards in history.

They all have one thing in common - they created Horcruxes.

Their incomplete souls exist in a stunted form.

The soul fragment lay there like a skinned baby, able to wail in agony.

The incomplete bodies were also covered in blood, but they still had a rough human shape, so their identities could be identified.

But whether they are fragments or the main body, they cannot return to the human world, cannot become ghosts, and cannot go to the underworld.

Because their souls have been completely broken, they can only be trapped in the hazy fantasy forever.

And all of the above are just side effects of creating just one Horcrux.

This is also why, soon after the magic of the Horcrux was created, its creator began to study how to recycle the fragments.

Even though "Advanced Black Arts" records that the recycling process is extremely painful and requires repentance - one must truly feel what one has done and this pain alone can destroy a person, there are still dark wizards who create Horcruxes and attempt to try it.

Sirius didn't even dare to imagine the extent of the side effects of creating four or more Horcruxes.

What kind of ignorance, stupidity and audacity must one have to create so many Horcruxes!

How resistant is that soul!
The other two were dead.

There are more than four Voldemorts!
Sirius couldn't imagine it, he was more inclined to believe that he had heard it wrong.

However, Dumbledore also continued: "Yes, at least four."

"As you all know, I am very knowledgeable. Normally, when a Horcrux is destroyed, the creator of the Horcrux can feel the disappearance of the soul fragment."

"And yet, Voldemort cannot feel it."

"Even when I let one of his Horcruxes approach him, he showed no reaction."

Sirius was curious, "A Horcrux? Not a diary?"

Dumbledore nodded, "Yes, it is not. But it is a secret."

Basil glanced at Sirius and Lupin and couldn't help complaining, "If you knew that the Horcrux was Harry, you would immediately draw your wands and ask Dumbledore what he meant."

"After all, this means that only when Harry Potter dies can Voldemort be completely dead."

"That is to say, no matter who wins, Harry's fate is death."

"If it weren't for the original world line, Voldemort would have been resurrected by consuming Harry's blood, sharing the love spell in Harry's blood that would have disappeared with adulthood."

"It brings them closer together - as long as Voldemort survives, Harry's life will not end."

"Instead of both of them dying."

Sirius naturally couldn't hear what Bagel was thinking.

With all doubts resolved, the primary goal naturally returned - to destroy the locket and fulfill Regulus's last wish.

"Dumbledore, you can start now - I mean destroy it and let a part of Voldemort enter the Twilight Zone to be tortured in advance!"

Kreacher and Dobby, who already held a hatred for Voldemort, waved their fists together and chanted, "Torture! Torture! Torture!"

Dumbledore raised his eyebrows, "Of course. But I need to ask Basil first."

Baqir: “Hmm?”

Dumbledore: "Since you have seen his dream. Does he know the identities of the other Horcruxes?"

Basil smiled maliciously: "Of course, he was the last Horcrux created by Voldemort."

"He has the memory of the location and identity of the previous Horcruxes."

"So, you're saying you want to destroy him?"

"After all, destroying a Horcrux is a simple matter for you."

"As long as the container that seals the soul is damaged to the point where it cannot be repaired by physical or magical means."

"Tell me, what is your decision?"
