In the Harry Potter Without Harry Potter
Chapter 94: Four Relic

Horcrux.

The evillest dark magic that Voldemort relied on for his immortality in the original book.

The dark magic caster's soul can be split into pieces by killing and stored in another dead or living thing, the thing that has stored the soul fragments is called Horcrux.

And as long as the Horcrux is not completely destroyed, the person who created the Horcrux can live forever and can be resurrected again even if he or she got hit by a Killing Curse. Sᴇaʀch* Thᴇ n0vᴇl(ꜰ)ire.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

The person who created Horcrux has always been evil in history, and Voldemort made a whole seven under his main consciousness, moreover, with his pride, he even made each of the seven Horcruxes an extremely unique item as possible.

Now it is placed in front of Jon's eyes, and it is clearly the four relics left behind by the four founders of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Gryffindor's sword, Slytherin's locket, Ravenclaw's diadem, and Hufflepuff's golden cup!

Of these four relics, in addition to the Gryffindor sword that has been hidden in the sorting hat, the other three were Voldemort's Horcruxes.

Gazing at the four relics laid out on the desk, Jon's breathing began to become rapid.

The world has changed, but the deviation point in the world-line occurred on the night Voldemort heard the prophecy and went to kill Harry Potter, but the three Horcruxes among the four relics in front of him, all were made before this time point.

In other words, they are still most likely to be Voldemort's Horcruxes! They are his lifeline to immortality and longevity!

Horcruxes are generally very difficult to destroy, but coincidentally, the Basilisk that Jon just killed, and its fangs are one of the easiest ways to destroy a Horcrux.

Even he could hold that Gryffindor sword, and as long as the sword is slightly doused with a bit of the Basilisk's venom, it could likewise be a potent tool for destroying Horcruxes.

This is a wonderful opportunity as if it is like a great gift from heaven to him to reward him for his valour and wisdom.

Jon did not know when he had reached the desk, staring at the four relics, he took a deep breath as if he was ready to pick up the four relics.

However, the next second he did not hesitate to go around from the desk.

Whether heaven will give a reward to the brave, Jon does not know, but this reward in front of him is certainly not from heaven.

This is Hogwarts Castle under Voldemort's control, he is in Voldemort's office, he just defeated the Basilisk that Voldemort ordered to guard this place, and these in front of him are the relics that Voldemort himself placed here.

His most precious, life-saving things are placed in a place that can attract the most attention of the enemy, and the tools needed to destroy these things are also all prepared.

The slain Basilisk, and Gryffindor's sword along with Horcruxes on the table, can not be a gift from heaven, instead, there is a great possibility that these are Voldemort's traps!

After a whole year of being brought into the magical world and understanding many things, Jon was very clear that Voldemort is definitely not a fool.

On the contrary, all kinds of policies of the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts under his rule today are enough to show that he is smarter than the vast majority of people.

A smart man would do such a thing?

Jon is very decisive in giving up these suspected Horcruxes, this world is no longer the magical world he originally recognised, he can rely on some information he read in the original books in his previous life as help, but he cannot completely rely on the original books.

Moreover, the fundamental goal of his visit to this castle this time had never been these Horcruxes.

He bypassed the desk and quickly found a spiral upward staircase in the office according to the exact location Dumbledore had given him earlier.

Successfully killing the Basilisk did not let Jon's heart half relaxed, he knew very well that the death of the Basilisk is just the beginning, the things Dumbledore wanted him to get will definitely have more than just this little protection.

Holding his wand, Jon carefully stepped on the spiral staircase, all the way up.

***

Inside the magnificent banquet hall, well-dressed male and female wizards were participating in a Christmas ball that only the top handful of wizards could attend.

If someone took a stone and threw it down from the first floor randomly, there was a high probability that it would hit a high official in the Ministry of Magic or a well-known board member of a company in the magical world.

The person who will be hit will only show a friendly smile to the child or young man with a provocative face who threw the stone from the first floor because the one who can go up to the first floor is the true confidant of that gentleman.

Dolohov is one such confidant.

At this time he is standing proudly at the side of Voldemort, who always remains young-looking and handsome, and chatting with a fat, old man with two walrus-like moustaches.

"Teacher is Teacher after all, once you came to the Department of International Magic Cooperation, the foreign export transactions of the Ministry of Magic in the past six months have been much smoother than before, and when the French Minister of Magic came to see me last time, he praised me that you are a true gentleman."

Slughorn still has that smiling look, close to half a year has passed, and he still seems to be the same as when he first came to Voldemort, there is no change.

"Dealing with these people is actually very simple, invite those at the helm of the French Ministry of Magic to hold a banquet, open a bottle of good red wine, talk about the past glory of their wizard family, some business and policies can be negotiated this way."

"So all these losers under me could never learn your tactics." Voldemort turned his head to look at a male wizard standing behind him with a bow, "Clearly a man of distinguished birth, but usually acts like a street hooligan."

The burly former head of the Department of International Magical Cooperation just rubbed his head and smiled, as if what Voldemort had just said was actually a compliment.

Since Slughorn returned to the right camp, the old man with a distinguished background and status has become the core of the core, except for Voldemort, other wizards regardless of their status will bow down to him and address him as "Mr Slughorn".

Since the start of this Christmas banquet, Voldemort has been talking and laughing with his former teacher, they talked about their former teacher-student relationship at Hogwarts, and Slughorn seemed to be in high spirits, full of nostalgia for the castle that he hadn't returned to for a long time.

Voldemort also saw his mood and introduced him to the current faculty members working in the castle.

Snape, Barty Jr. These people are old acquaintances, naturally, there is no need to make additional introductions, Voldemort called the people who were not considered bright students in the past.

"...Scott is an excellent school healer, the Lestrange family has a lot of talent, moreover, he once had the experience of being a healer in St. Mungo's, and he has done a very good job as a healer in the castle these years."
