"Describe the necklace to me. What does it look like?"
"It's … a very beautiful antique necklace." Hermione tried to recall the key information in her mind. "It's made of protein, and there's also a silver ornament. I've seen it in Birkin and Burke's shop."
"Birkin and Burke?"
Jon immediately remembered the necklace he had seen on the counter of Birkin and Burke's shop. According to his memory, if there was no problem, the necklace should have been sold to Draco Malfoy.
The necklace was a black magic item with a strong curse. It was very ancient, but it was unknown which Black Wizard made it. At least, the black-hearted shop owner didn't know. Jon went to his shop mainly because he wanted to repair the Vanishing Case. As for the other things, Jon didn't care.
The effect of the curse on the necklace wasn't special. If someone had physical contact with it, the curse would quickly spread through the person's body.
The effect of the curse was related to the area of contact with the person's skin.
If only a small area of skin was in contact with the curse, the victim would enter a state of unconsciousness. They would float gracefully six feet above the ground, begin to scream in pain, and fall back to the ground.
During this time, the victim would be completely unconscious and unable to recognize the person who came to rescue them, and their screams wouldn't stop.
After the curse spread, if it wasn't stopped in time by a counter-curse, the curse would spread further and eventually lead to death.
If the area of contact between the victim's skin and the necklace was too large, such as holding the necklace with bare hands or wearing it on the neck, the person would most likely die on the spot.
To avoid being hurt by the curse, the wearer would need to wear gloves or use packaging to avoid direct contact with the necklace.
Draco Malfoy bought the necklace from Birkin and Burke in an attempt to complete the mission given to him by Voldemort to assassinate Dumbledore.
When he went to Hogsmeade for the first time after school started, Malfoy cast the Soul-Stealing Curse on Madam Rosmerta.
Then, Madam Rosmerta cast the Soul-Stealing Curse on Katie Bell.
Bale was asked to hand over the necklace to Dumbledore, but it was obvious that this level of damage was nothing to Dumbledore.
With Dumbledore's abilities, it would be difficult for him to even scratch Dumbledore's skin, let alone injure Dumbledore from the curse. Furthermore, Dumbledore was determined to complete the final act. Before the ending that he had set for himself happened, no one would be able to affect him.
Moreover, if he wanted to use a necklace to end Dumbledore's life, he was looking down on Dumbledore.
It could only be said that Voldemort had the intention of asking Snape to help him kill Dumbledore. He had never completely handed this matter over to Draco Malfoy. Expecting a normal child to kill a legendary Wizard was no less than a fantasy.
"I know about this matter. In fact, Harry's guess is right. I'm a little surprised that he could get such an answer at this point.
Actually, sometimes, a person's intuition is quite accurate, right?
Since he has such a conjecture, you guys shouldn't have such a conjecture. I think you can grasp the severity of the matter? "
Hermione nodded in response to Jon's question. She had been learning from Jon for a while now, and gradually understood some of Jon's habits.
Jon never liked to do everything himself, unless the matter was related to him. If it wasn't related to him, he would hand the matter over to someone else.
Moreover, he didn't like to explain everything in detail. He would only give a general framework, and then let the person who was given the task do as they pleased.
Usually, in this kind of situation, he would be able to achieve some unexpected results. If there were any problems, he would promptly correct them. After all, it wasn't a particularly difficult matter. If it was a truly important matter, he wouldn't hand it over to someone who wasn't suitable for it.
Knowing how to use people well was a very powerful ability in itself.
Jon had been explaining for a long time, and Hermione was about to finish the small cake in front of her.
After she finished eating, it was time for her to leave.
Although she wanted to stay here longer, a place like the Hufflepuff Magic Research Society was really suitable for a person who loved to learn.
"If you want to," Jon seemed to be able to hear what Hermione was thinking. Just as Hermione's gaze swept across the classroom, his voice rang out from behind her, "If you want to."
"I can give you an internship opportunity at the Magic Research Association. Of course, this association is outside the school. It was also created by the previous graduates of Hufflepuff. It has a similar operating mechanism as the association on campus. In the end, it's all for the sake of better magic research and learning. You might be able to see a lot of familiar faces there.
Of course, if you don't want to go, I have no opinion. "
"If possible, of course it would be best if I could go. I believe in your judgment, teacher. But as you said before, we still need to do what we have to do first, right?"
Hermione was still able to distinguish between priorities, which made Jon very satisfied.
He nodded and didn't say anything more, letting Hermione leave.
Recently, Dumbledore had been busy outside, mainly looking for soul tools. Jon had thought of directly telling Dumbledore the location of the soul tools, but Dumbledore expressed his refusal because he felt that it was better to be busy himself. It was a kind of pleasure.
In fact, if he wanted to find all the soul tools, he wouldn't have to spend so much effort.
Seeing that Dumbledore was enjoying himself, Jon didn't say anything. In any case, when Dumbledore had no clue, he would naturally come to him. When he studied alchemy and alchemy under Nico Lemour, he learned a lot of skills to make fake things. For example, he had made a fake soul tool Hufflepuff's golden cup. The real soul tool had been brought home by him, and Voldemort's soul inside was also ground into soul energy and fed to Basiris. This snake monster was now living happily in Helga's world, and didn't look as scary as before.
In any case, Jon wouldn't let Dumbledore have a chance to live. He was the last safeguard for Dumbledore, and was responsible for destroying all the soul tools — — after Grindel and Dumbledore left.
