Hogwarts: What are the four great masters doing?

"..."

Ryan gritted his teeth in anger.

Damn the Riddler!

The same goes for the Hufflepuff teachers and Dumbledore - after a thousand years, how come everyone starts speaking like centaurs!

But seeing Ryan gritting his teeth.

Dumbledore said gently.

"Okay, Ryan—it's not that I don't tell you."

He blinked. "You'll find out, but not now."

He said this again.

"When was that?"

But this time Ryan kept asking.

"Oh, let me think—maybe when I retire."

Dumbledore smiled and said, "Speaking of which, have you ever thought about becoming the headmaster of Hogwarts? I asked Severus, but he didn't seem interested..."

"Oh, I'm not interested either."

Ryan replied in a stiff tone - he felt that the old wizard was not sincere at all.

"it's a pity..."

So Dumbledore said regretfully: "But you are still young, perhaps you will change your mind later."

He changed the subject: "So, tell me about tonight, Ryan."

"You met Tom, didn't you? Is he all right?"

When he mentioned Voldemort, his expression became serious.

After hearing this, Ryan didn't dwell on what had just happened.

He knew very well that once a wizard like Dumbledore made up his mind about something, his attitude would not change because of external factors.

Anyone who walks on the most essential path of magic must have a firm heart.

so...

"Oh, I'm sure he's not well."

Ryan answered Dumbledore's question.

"Shakaaar... is the giant squid that destroyed Voldemort's body, the one that belonged to Quirrell..."

He told Dumbledore everything that had happened tonight.

As Ryan spoke, Dumbledore's expression kept changing.

When the old wizard heard that Ron was under the Imperius Curse and Quirrell's soul had been killed by Voldemort long ago, he did not speak.

But Ryan saw the cold anger in his eyes.

And when Ryan talked about his conversation with Voldemort, Dumbledore also expressed his opinion.

"He's still the same as before, thinking that he can make everyone prostrate themselves at his feet just by relying on his strength."

"He calls himself great? But I'd rather call him pathetic... Yes, arrogant and pathetic."

He commented sharply

And at the end, when Ryan mentioned that he saw six huge holes in Voldemort's soul.

"boom!"

He saw Dumbledore stand up from his desk - this action startled the Sorting Hat on the shelf next to him and almost fell off the shelf.

"Six Horcruxes..."

Dumbledore was obviously surprised by the news as well.

He felt sad for those six poor innocent souls, yet on the other hand he was happy.

"Ryan, this is the best news I've heard today."

He said to Ryan seriously.

"Oh, Principal...don't speak so soon."

But at this moment, Ryan shook his head.

He could certainly understand why Dumbledore was so happy at the moment.

Because he finally got a glimpse of Voldemort's most crucial trump card.

Six Horcruxes—troublesome, but also inspiring.

This at least means that the other party is not truly immortal.

However, Ryan had to tell Dumbledore a very bad news.

"Harry is also one of Voldemort's Horcruxes."

He looked at Dumbledore and told him the cruel truth he had discovered: "Fragments of Voldemort's soul exist deep in his soul!"

"They have merged into each other and have long since become inseparable."

As Ryan's words fell.

He was sure he saw surprise and disbelief in Dumbledore's eyes.

His lips trembled as if he wanted to ask something.

But in the end, it all came to light.

"That night...that spell Lily cast?"

He said this, his voice a little hoarse.

"You do know the spell."

After hearing this, Ryan showed an expression that said, "As expected."

"Yes, of course I know..."

Dumbledore said softly.

He was lost in memories.

"Lily and James went to Germany to watch the Quidditch World Cup during the summer vacation of their fourth year, and entered an ancient magical ruin there."

"James said he got the location of the ruins by chance."

Dumbledore recalled: "He was adventurous and passionate, but a little careless, while Lily was smarter and more meticulous - she discovered the spell from a stone tablet in the ruins."

"What spell is that?"

Hearing this, Ryan asked immediately.

"Oh, I don't know, Ryan."

But Dumbledore shook his head.

He looked at Ryan: "It is an ancient and powerful spell that goes straight to the essence of magic."

"But everything within that ruin is cursed—its location, and everything within it."

"So only James knows where it is, and only he can lead people to the ruins."

"And apart from Lily, who directly viewed the slate, no one could understand the content of the spell."

Dumbledore's words were also full of surprise.

Ryan could certainly understand his surprise.

A curse was cast on a relic, and the effect lasted for at least a thousand years - even from the looks of it, it was clear that even a legendary wizard like Dumbledore could not break the spell.

This is enough to illustrate the antiquity and power of the relic.

This made Ryan even more certain that the relic was most likely born from the 'ancient times' mentioned by his four teachers!

Ryan was also very curious about the ruins at this moment: "You never asked him to take you to see it?"

Halfway through his speech, he realized that his question seemed to be in vain.

Because he could guess that that was the time when Voldemort was wreaking havoc in the British wizarding world.

And during that time...

"War, Ryan—it's brutal, and it takes away everything else."

"We all have important things to do, so even the exploration of magic has to be put aside."

Dumbledore said sadly.

"And when the war was over, James and Lily were gone."

So Ryan stopped asking questions.

Just as Dumbledore had said—although at this moment he was very interested in the ruins that were probably built in ancient times.

But right now, he has more important things to do.

"That spell... Lily told me it can deflect almost any malicious spell."

Dumbledore's voice was almost a whisper.

“But I didn’t expect it, I didn’t expect it…”

He had obviously realized where Voldemort's soul in Harry came from!

He said, "Tom's soul shattered that night, and a piece of it merged with Harry's?"

He looked at Ryan.

"Yes."
