Hogwarts: What bad intentions could the little badger have?

"Of course it is related. Do you want to know how many Horcruxes Voldemort created?"

"Do you want to know where these Horcruxes are hidden?"

"Based on Voldemort's low-key style in the early days..."

"To create a Horcrux that requires murder to be successful, in order to cover up his crime of murder..."

"Does this mean that he has created a lot of false cases?"

Dumbledore seemed to understand something.

"You mean 23..."

Faced with Dumbledore's sudden realization, Black added another drastic measure.

"Horcruxes are part of Voldemort. In other words, there is nothing wrong with saying that they are Voldemort."

"That is to say, we can get the information I mentioned above from the Horcrux!"

"Professor, you should know that each piece of this information is worth a fortune."

Dumbledore looked at the diary in his hands.

Then sighed.

"I know what you mean, but... as you just said..."

"These Horcruxes can be said to be Voldemort himself, and their thinking is exactly the same as his original body."

"So...it's impossible for them to tell us this information..."

"Black... Voldemort would never tell his enemies how to destroy themselves!"

Dumbledore was not wrong to think so.

Voldemort knew that if the Horcrux fell into the hands of the enemy.

Then it will definitely be destroyed.

Since this Horcrux can't be saved.

The remaining soul in there would definitely rather self-destruct than reveal the location of other Horcruxes.

"Well, I happen to know a little bit about soul magic," said Blake.

"So, I still have some methods for this kind of residual soul."

Dumbledore shook his head. "That is not enough to convince me, Black..."

Obviously, Dumbledore didn't quite believe this.

Black produced a piece of parchment and handed it to Dumbledore.

"I think you will believe me after seeing this."

Dumbledore took the parchment.

There was a picture drawn on the parchment.

The strokes are so bright and strange...

The picture shows Peeves, who had been missing from Hogwarts for some time!

At first glance, Dumbledore thought it was just a well-drawn picture.

But if you look closely, you can see it!

"This...you sealed Peeves in this parchment?!"

Dumbledore looked at the parchment in shock.

The system immediately gave Blake a silver treasure chest!

Dumbledore was of course surprised.

In fact, Hogwarts has been home for a long time.

Many years ago, someone tried

To get Peeves out of Hogwarts.

The then administrator, Ranchos Calpe, tried to drive Peeves out of the castle.

Designed an ingenious trap.

The trap consisted of an assortment of weapons used as bait, and a large bell jar cast with various containment spells.

When Peeves is in the right position, the bell drops down and captures the poltergeist.

But everything did not go as planned.

Peeves easily blew open the bell jar and escaped with several machetes, a few crossbows, a large-caliber muzzle-loader, and a small cannon.

Peeves begins shooting randomly for fun, putting students' lives in jeopardy.

As a result, the castle had to be evacuated for three days...

The then headmaster, Professor Eupraxia Moore, had to sign a series of agreements with Peeves in order to get him to hand over his weapons...

This was the most disastrous and final attempt to get rid of Peeves.

The incident also forced the administrator, Mr. Carpe, to retire early "for health reasons."

It is conceivable how difficult Peeves is to deal with.

No one can subdue him except the Bloody Baron...

But now, Blake has solved this problem that has stumped all the principals in the past without making any noise!

He actually sealed Peeves away!

How could Dumbledore not be surprised?

Seeing Dumbledore so surprised, Black shrugged and said.

"...Last time I saw him playing a prank on my friend... Well, it was a pretty extreme prank."

"So, I'm going to play a prank on him too."

"I plan to seal him in parchment for a month... and then release him."

Dumbledore sighed helplessly.

"Okay...I believe you."

Even ghosts like Peeves can be sealed.

Dumbledore believed that Black had indeed achieved a certain level of accomplishment in soul magic.

But... even if Black has a certain level of attainment in soul magic...

Can he really deal with the residual soul in the Horcrux?

It was Voldemort after all...

Dumbledore still had his doubts.

Horcruxes are not ordinary things.

This thing is too dangerous, too evil...

"Even if you have the confidence that there is a way to make the remaining soul in the Horcrux speak..."

"But how can you avoid his temptation?"

"You know, he's very good at bewitching..."

Blake spread his hands.

"I know he is very good at deceiving people, but..."

"Don't forget, I am immune to Grindelwald's temptation..."

Blake felt that Voldemort's ability to deceive was still far behind Grindelwald's.

When Voldemort meets you, he asks you, do you need powerful strength?

Do you believe your bloodline is superior to others?

Follow me and you will be rich and prosperous!

But when you meet Grindelwald, he will tell you what rights you should fight for as a wizard.

How can we lead the wizard community from darkness to light...

One stands for himself, while the other stands for the entire wizarding community.

Judging from his actions rather than his heart, Grindelwald's vision is bigger.

……

Hearing Grindelwald's name, Dumbledore's beard trembled again, still angry...

"Really? If I hadn't stopped you, you might have already reached Nurmengard..."

Obviously, Black's admiration for some aspects of Grindelwald made him unhappy.

Black said firmly, "I'm not going to Nurmengard! My friends are all in Hogwarts."

Dumbledore couldn't help but ask, "So, if your friends are all in Nurmengard, then you will go to Nurmengard?"

"No! No! Professor, you asked the wrong question..."

Blake sighed.

"Your question... is like a girl asking her boyfriend, if she and her boyfriend's mother fell into the water at the same time, who would her boyfriend save..."

"Ah... well, there are some problems with my question." Dumbledore admitted the limitations of his question.

"That's off topic... What I mean is that although you are very capable, you can't underestimate Voldemort's ability to deceive."

Dumbledore was actually afraid that some dark factors in Black's heart would be triggered by Voldemort.

After all, Horcruxes don't influence people entirely through words.

It's more of a magical influence.

Just like an unpurified One Ring, it will corrode people's souls...

Black smiled and said, "Does that mean that as long as I can prove that I will not be corrupted by the Horcrux, you will agree to lend me the diary for a few days?"

When he heard "play for a few days", Dumbledore's beard twitched again.

"How are you going to prove that?"

"It's very simple."

Blake said, smiling as he took out a crown from his pocket...

It was another Horcrux that he had almost destroyed - the Ravenclaw Diadem.

In fact, the remaining soul in the crown had been used by Blake for soul magic experiments and had become very weak.

Most of the time, I can only sleep.

Therefore, this crown is no longer useful to Blake.

Now is the perfect time to hand it over to Dumbledore to collect some treasure chests.

Then exchange it for another "healthy" Horcrux.

"Look! This is another Horcrux of Voldemort, the Diadem of Ravenclaw!"

"Ding! A shock emotion is detected!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the golden treasure chest!"

Looking at Dumbledore's shocked face.

Blake smiled and said, "Look, I've been playing with this crown for a long time. Didn't I fail to be bewitched by him?"

Dumbledore recovered quickly.

He quickly snatched the crown from Blake's hand.

Then I took it in front of my eyes and observed it carefully...

The bridge of his nose, which had been broken by his brother, was almost touching the crown.
