Witcher at Hogwarts

Chapter 76: Horcrux

Under Moody's command, the Aurors took Rita Skeeter out of the crime scene regardless of her protests.

With Dumbledore's assurance, Moody finally let go of some of Ethan's vigilance and began to instruct his Aurors to carry out the aftermath, putting the complete body into a body bag and piecing together the broken body.

Rufus Scrimgeour covered his forehead and looked at the chaotic scene in front of him. As the head of the Auror Office at the Ministry of Magic, he really didn't know how to submit a report on this incident.

"Those **** bastards!" Scrimgeour cursed these dark wizards again and again in his heart, and now he still has to settle this big trouble.

The Aurors finally finished tidying up the scene. There were actually twenty-six corpses put together in pieces, which made Scrimgeour's scalp even more numb. It was hard to suppress such a big thing.

Tonks still wanted to say something to Ethan, but Moody kept urging her to help. Tonks stuck his tongue out at Ethan, said goodbye, and went to work with the other Aurors. .

"So Ethan, what's going on here?" Dumbledore looked at Ethan calmly with his blue eyes.

Ethan then explained to Dumbledore everything that happened tonight, from saving Tonks to being surrounded in the small building, he told Dumbledore one by one.

Hearing the Church of the Mirror, Dumbledore fell into a brief contemplation, but he was soon freed from his thoughts. Dumbledore had no spare energy to manage this matter, and he needed to focus all his energy on dealing with Voldemort. matter.

As for other dark wizard forces, it is better to leave it to the younger generation.

"Ethan, can we take a step to talk?" Dumbledore turned sideways and gestured to Ethan.

Ethan nodded, then walked with Dumbledore to the side with fewer people next to the ruins of the small building.

Dumbledore's prestige in the magical world is very high, and he understood what Dumbledore meant. The Aurors around Dumbledore and Ethan consciously withdrew from this small area, leaving Dumbledore and Ethan behind. A quiet and uninhabited area.

"Ethan, I've been investigating Tom's diary all this time, and I've got a rough inference now." Dumbledore folded his hands, showing some melancholy and anxiety in his eyes.

"That diary definitely stores more than Tom's memory. If it was just a memory, he wouldn't have his own actions and thoughts."

Dumbledore took out Voldemort's diary, which had been destroyed. There was a huge hole running through the diary, and he didn't know what method Dumbledore used to destroy it.

"If it's just a memory, how can it confuse Ginny or even manipulate her into doing those things?" Dumbledore seemed to want to say something, but he hesitated for a moment, but finally said, "Then There's something far more sinister in the diary...a piece of soul"

"I can almost be sure that the diary is a Horcrux." Dumbledore spit out this sentence softly, and at the same time Dumbledore looked even older.

Even though he already knew about the Horcrux, Ethan cooperated with a shocked and puzzled expression.

"A Horcrux is a very evil magic...very evil," Dumbledore murmured.

"A Horcrux is an object that holds part of a person's soul...that is, Tom splits his soul and hides part of it in some object outside his body. That way, even if his body is attacked or destroyed, he Can't die, because there are still some souls left in the world, unharmed."

"I think that's why Tom can stay forever." There was a look of pain on Dumbledore's face, but it quickly disappeared.

"But you have destroyed his Horcrux now, haven't the trouble been solved?" Ethan decided to play stupid to the end.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple, Ethan, I have a hunch." Dumbledore repeatedly rubbed the black cover of the diary with his fingers, "After arranging Harry's affairs, I may have to leave school for a while, and I'm going to ask for some evidence. I'm going to take charge of the school for Professor McGonagall during this time."

"Ethan, I hope you can help Professor McGonagall as much as possible." Dumbledore said to Ethan sincerely.

"I'll do it" was not difficult, so Ethan resolutely agreed to Dumbledore.

"Thank you, Ethan." A rare smile appeared on Dumbledore's face.

"Are you going back to Hogwarts now? I can take you back." Dumbledore invited.

Ethan also just planned to go back, and there is no point in staying at the crime scene. It is better to leave now, lest he will be caught by Moody for questioning later.

Just as he was about to use Dumbledore's Apparition to go back to Hogwarts, Tonks hurriedly waved his hand to signal them to slow down and rushed towards them.

Seeing this scene, Dumbledore smiled, indicating that Ethan can go about his own business first, and he can wait for Ethan for a while.

"I heard Scrimgeour's conversation, you might get a second order of Merlin's Order!" Tonks came to announce the good news, she rushed to Ethan and said excitedly, even her hair turned violet.

"That's great, thank you so much!" Although Ethan had no interest in the Merlin's Second Order Medal, but couldn't bear to disappoint Tonks, Ethan still pretended to be Very happy look.

"It's nothing" Hearing Ethan's thanks, Tonks' face suddenly turned a little red, "By the way, I want to leave you my contact address, so that we can communicate in time... about the medal." Tonks' face turned even redder, and the ends of her hair were dyed a little red.

Tonks scrambled all over his body, found a pen and paper, and quickly wrote an address on the paper and handed it to Ethan, "You can send the letter here, I'll see, I don't need your address. I know where to send it."

Tonks winked mischievously at Ethan, and was about to go back to work, just now Moody was calling her again.

After running a few steps, Tonks seemed to think of something again, and he leaned over and whispered to Ethan: "By the way, don't talk to other people about Timon Dungus, he helped us a lot, I promise. Let him go this time."

After instructing him, Tonks ran in Moody's direction again and waved goodbye to Ethan before leaving.

Dumbledore stood in the distance and smiled after watching the exchange between Tonks and Ethan, and seeing Ethan returning, Dumbledore winked at Ethan jokingly, "Young is beautiful, isn't it? ' Dumbledore made a rare joke.

Hearing Dumbledore's words, Ethan pouted and didn't answer.

"Tonks is indeed a good child, I watched her grow up..." Dumbledore introduced Ethan about Tonks, and raised his arm for Ethan to hold it .

Just as Ethan grabbed Dumbledore's arm, the figures of the two quickly blurred. With a cracking sound, Ethan and Dumbledore disappeared in Knockturn Alley.
