The house was silent. Just then, Harry appeared at the top of the stairs.
There was still grass and leaves on his body. It looked like he had just rolled around in the woods.
"Harry, why are you alone? Where's Ginny?" Hermione asked. "Aren't you on a date with her?"
"Shh, keep your voice down. Lady Weasley doesn't know we're all here. She thinks you're doing what she told you to do." Harry gestured and pointed downstairs. "We bumped into Lady Weasley and Hibiscus Chinensis when we came in. They asked Ginny to stay. I heard from Hibiscus Chinensis that there's a wedding rehearsal or something. Ginny and Gabri are the bridesmaids. Oh, they're looking for you everywhere, Gabri! "
"Then I have to go down and take a look. My sister told me that there's going to be a rehearsal or two. I think it's necessary. I'm too nervous. I don't know how many guests there will be at the wedding. It won't be good if I embarrass myself," Gabri said as she ran down the stairs. "Don't worry, I'll tell them I didn't see the five of you."
"No matter how many guests there are, it won't relieve Mom's stress level," Ron said as he watched Gabri's back.
"Alright, let's talk inside." Elwyn walked into the room and seemed to think of something. He turned around and added, "Unless Harry wants to see the ghoul."
"You like it?" Harry looked confused, but after Ron showed him the ghoul, his expression turned disgusted.
Harry and Ron discussed the ghoul and Ron's plan for a while. He seemed to want to persuade Ron not to go with them.
Similar to Elwyn's worries, Harry felt guilty that everyone gave up so much time to accompany him.
He wanted to persuade Ron to stay, until Hermione said impatiently. "This matter has already been decided. Harry, what we need to discuss now isn't whether we need to follow you and Elwyn, nor is it a funny ghoul in pyjamas. Instead, it's where we are going and what we are going to do after we leave. Firstly, we can confirm that we are going to Gringotts to retrieve Hufflepuff's golden chalice. It is a soul artifact and also the key to finding Hufflepuff's treasure. We must obtain it. "
"That's right, that's why we have to break into Gringotts." Ewen continued, "I've obtained some information from Bill, and roughly know what's below Gringotts. Actually, this matter isn't as difficult as imagined, there's a simple method. Harry, Hermione, do you two remember? When we followed Sirius to Gringotts to retrieve the deed, we passed by Bellatrix's treasury on the way to the Blake family treasury. Unsurprisingly, the golden chalice was kept there.
"But how do we know which one is Bellatrix's vault? They all look the same. "
"I will use magic to control the fairy that leads us. But if we do that, we will probably be listed as unwelcome by the fairies."
Regarding this point, the few of them were indifferent. Moreover, this was a desperate situation, and they could explain it to the fairies later.
They believed that after defeating Lord Voldemort, they would forgive Elwyn and the rest for breaking into Gringotts.
If they lost to Lord Voldemort, then it wouldn't matter if they were forgiven by the fairies.
"Since we are talking about Horcruxes, apart from Elwyn, none of us actually understand much about them. Especially Elaine, who is completely clueless about them, I feel that there is a need to confirm this dark magic." As Hermione spoke, she took out the book "Secrets of Cutting-Edge Black Magic" from Ivan's pouch, which recorded soul tool magic.
"Heavens, don't tell me you carry this book with you all the time?" Ron said in disgust.
"Of course I have to carry a useful book with me, even if it's a book filled with evil magic." Hermione used an unquestionable tone as she carefully flipped open the book, as if it was something that had just died. "Don't show that expression, Ron. This book of mine is very scary, but it is very useful. Let me see, hmm, currently Lord Voldemort's remaining Horcruxes are Hufflepuff's Golden Chalice and the Malevolent Statue. I remember you told me before that Lord Voldemort made a total of seven Horcruxes. "
"This is only one possibility. He approached Slughorn to inquire about what would happen if his soul was split into seven parts." Harry said.
"I can't believe it, he actually wants to split his soul into seven parts." Hermione said in a low voice, "This book warns that splitting your soul will make your soul very unstable, and that is only to make a Horcrux! This matter has already exceeded the scope of evil, only through killing can one split his soul. "
"We know this, but he doesn't care." Ron couldn't help but shiver, "Is there any way to make himself whole again?"
"There is." Hermione smiled dryly and said, "But it is extremely painful, the opposite of killing and splitting the soul. Only through repentance can the soul be reunited. You must truly feel what you have done. There is an annotation in the book, it seems that this kind of pain can destroy you, but I don't think Lord Voldemort intends to do that. Well, let's assume that there are really seven Horcruxes, so far we have destroyed Riddle's Diary, Slytherin's Locket, Ravenclaw's Coronet … "
"And Marvolo Gunter's ring, it was worn on Dumbledore's hand and disappeared with him. It is a special Horcrux." Elwyn said, "It is made up of all the goodwill of Lord Voldemort and a piece of his soul, which was forcefully stripped by Salazar Slytherin. Dumbledore said that it has nothing to do with Lord Voldemort anymore."
"A special Horcrux … Since it has nothing to do with him, will Lord Voldemort think that it is a Horcrux?" Hermione murmured, "Even with this, we are still missing one."
"Don't worry." Elwyn paused and glanced at Harry, "He might not have the time to make it, we only need to consider destroying the golden cup and statue."
"The most troublesome thing is the statue of the Evil God, it is very difficult to destroy it."
"Wait, what is the way to destroy a Horcrux, use the snake monster's poisonous fangs to stab it?" Harry asked.
He knows that the three Horcruxes that were destroyed previously were all destroyed with the snake monster's poisonous fangs. "
"It doesn't have to be the snake monster's poisonous fangs." Elwyn said, "Other things can work as well, as long as they are strong enough. The snake monster's poisonous fangs were successful because it only has one antidote, which is extremely rare, only the Phoenix's Tear can cure it. "
"That's right, we need to use something that is extremely destructive, so that it cannot be repaired with magic, otherwise it would be useless even if we tear the Horcrux into pieces and grind it into powder." Hermione looked at the book, "It is different from a human's soul, the reason why a soul fragment can survive, is completely dependent on its container, depends on its magic container …"
"This magic is very interesting, then is there a specific limit to being a Horcrux's container?" Elaine suddenly asked.
"Currently there is no limit, in theory, it can be an item, or a person, or even a magic." Elwyn said.
"Magic?"
