Anduin found that the soul fragment in the ring was harder to "handle" than the part of Voldemort's soul he had resurrected before.

That was because turning an object into a Horcrux also added a layer of protection around the soul. And since this was only a fragment, with no more specific consciousness controlling it, the memories inside were incomplete and badly jumbled.

Fortunately, Anduin had plenty of patience and exceptional skill at exploring minds. He had conducted no shortage of experiments on other people's minds and souls while helping the Lumbaton couple recover, and now that expertise was proving useful.

Over the next few days, Anduin handled affairs in Diagon Alley and at Hogwarts while setting aside time to slowly explore the Horcrux. Little by little, he uncovered a great deal of useful information.

It seemed that by the time Voldemort made this Horcrux, he had become fairly adept at splitting his soul at will.

Voldemort had implanted only the memories from the nearly two years before he made the Horcrux, but even those two years held a staggering amount of information.

First of all, Anduin could be certain that the ring was Voldemort's second Horcrux. It had been made in August 1943, when Voldemort—then a fifth-year student, still known as Tom Riddle—split his soul by killing his own father, then used the fragment to create the Horcrux.

Voldemort had created it in a second-floor girls' washroom at Hogwarts Castle, using the Basilisk to kill Moaning Myrtle.

During that time, Voldemort had even framed Hagrid, who was only in his third year, for
