A Mad Plan, a Complete Horcrux / The Unforgivable Curse, Possession in Plain Sight

"Farewell!"

Dumbledore, but Harry didn't want to listen anymore and slammed the door as he left the Headmaster's Office.

"Sigh... Harry, why can't you just understand..."

Headmaster's Office, Dumbledore stared at the door that had bounced back with tremendous force, his eyes dimming uncontrollably.

Harry is now very powerful, very intelligent, and can even remove Horcrux fragments... Dumbledore of this.

However, Harry himself is also Horcrux, and the fragments of his soul within him cannot be removed by his own power.

In other words, as long as he lives, Voldemort will never die.

Voldemort's true plan was far more complex than Harry imagined—it was simply a matter of 'killing him'...

"Tch, Aberforth Dumbledore is absolutely right!"

After leaving the Headmaster's Office, Harry was absolutely furious.

Albus Dumbledore was indeed a great man, so great that "one man's success is built on the bones of ten thousand!"

That's right, in order to ensure a continuous supply of Polyjuice Potion, the Fake Moody certainly wouldn't kill Moody prematurely.

But how much torture and abuse would a seasoned Auror like Moody have to endure before his mind was pried open and he was kept completely powerless to resist?!

Perhaps, right as they were talking, Moody was under the influence of the Imperius Curse, or even being subjected to the Cruciatus Curse and all sorts of vicious curses!

That's why Harry was angry.

He was angry because Dumbledore, in the name of the greater good, hadn't considered sending anyone to find and rescue Moody even after knowing what might have happened to him!

Those are your own people from the Order of the Phoenix. You should at least make a show of it and say you'll send more people to search for them!

But Dumbledore didn't do that. He couldn't bear to give up the opportunity to turn the tables, and he was also worried that searching for Moody now might alert the enemy, so he simply did nothing, euphemistically calling it 'surveillance'.

Harry just couldn't understand it. Besides wanting to kill him, what other plan could Voldemort possibly have...?

"Hmm!"

As Harry thought this, a sharp, stabbing pain shot through his mind once again.

He quickly pulled out his notebook, and a line of delicate handwriting slowly appeared on it...

'The bones of one's parents, the flesh of one's servants, and the blood of one's enemies!'

Chapter 602 The Mad Plan, The Complete Horcrux

"Bones, flesh, and blood—he even knows this ancient resurrection spell. Voldemort truly lives up to his reputation as a bizarre immortality fanatic."

However, Voldemort's petty scheme could not possibly escape Rowena's notice.

Because in the face of absolute wisdom and knowledge, all schemes and plots can be seen through at a glance.

Voldemort certainly wanted to kill Harry, but considering what he did in the Sorcerer's Stone and his current extremely weakened state, his true plot is actually quite obvious.

The resurrection spell Rowena told Harry about was something she discovered while sorting through Voldemort's memories. It should be paired with the method of making Horcrux, specifically designed to solve the problem of a soul existing but a body destroyed.

By now, Voldemort should have obtained two-thirds of the materials.

The bones of one's parents can be obtained simply by digging up their graves. If Voldemort had planned to restore his body in this way from the beginning, he would have already searched for Little Hangleton's grave beforehand.

As for the servants' flesh, there's an abundance of Sickle; even excluding the Fake Moody, there are still several die-hard Voldemort fans in Azkaban.

Finally, there's the blood of his enemy; this guy is clearly trying to use Harry's blood to resurrect himself.

What Rowena had previously reminded Harry of was that Albus Dumbledore had clearly already guessed Voldemort's plot.

However, he chose to acquiesce, even ignoring the torture and harm Moody might suffer, determined to see Voldemort's plan through to the end.

Harry thought to himself that Dumbledore might actually want Voldemort to be resurrected using his own blood.

'He felt that this method could truly destroy Voldemort's soul fragments,' Rowena wrote in her diary.

What Rowena deduced, and which was indeed Albus Dumbledore's true purpose, was to take the opportunity to deal with the 'Voldemort' inside Harry.

The reason for this speculation might also be related to the Sacrifice Protection Charm that Harry's mother, Lily, cast on Harry when she was murdered.

Because of that curse, Voldemort was no longer able to harm Harry.

When he possesses someone else, he might be able to use that person to deal with Harry, but if he were to do it himself, he would definitely be killed by an Avada Kedavra shot.

However, as Harry's power continued to grow, Voldemort could never defeat Harry in a one-on-one fight, no matter who he possessed. Therefore, he had to take matters into his own hands and find a way to bypass the Sacrifice Protection Charm.

That's why he decided to use Harry's blood to resurrect himself. In this way, Harry's blood would essentially flow in his body, rendering Lily's Sacrifice Protection Charm ineffective against him.

However, Voldemort lacked research on the Sacrifice Protection Charm. The core of this great magic was not some powerful magic or complex principle, but a mother's love for her child that transcended life itself.

Lily's Sacrifice Protection Charm only protects Harry; it won't change just because Harry's blood flows elsewhere. So if Voldemort were to resurrect in this way, he wouldn't be able to harm Harry in the end; instead, he would become Harry's safe haven.

Dumbledore's plan was precisely this: when Voldemort, unaware that he couldn't harm Harry, still ruthlessly killed Harry, the only thing ultimately 'killed' was the fragment of Voldemort's own soul within Harry!

The problem is... there's a bug here!

"Rowena, what do you think... would happen if I turned myself into a real Horcrux?"

Harry slowly smiled faintly at the diary, his voice trembling with a hint of near-madness.

Upon hearing Harry's words, the diary fell silent. After a long while, a line of small print slowly appeared on the page.

'Ignoring the risk of being mind-controlled, as long as Voldemort doesn't die... you're invincible.'

Really!

Just as Harry had predicted, this was exactly the outcome he had anticipated.

Horcrux are truly unique. They separate a piece of a soul and place it in a container for protection, so that even if the soul itself suffers fatal damage, it will not be completely destroyed.

At the same time, because of the presence of that soul, the container itself becomes extremely tough, and ordinary methods cannot destroy it!

Take, for example, the diary in front of us, Ravenclaw's Diadem, and Slytherin's Locket. After they were made into Horcrux, they are, to some extent, immortal. Even if they are damaged, they can be quickly Reparo!

To completely destroy them, the only options are to use the Basilisk's venom or Fiendfyre, a form of Dark Magic imbued with powerful curses.

Therefore, if Harry could truly possess the properties of Horcrux, then he could be considered immortal as long as Voldemort lived!

Apart from the powers mentioned earlier that can destroy Horcrux, ordinary curses will no longer be able to harm him, even the Avada Kedavra can be withstood by his body!

At that time, he will truly be 'invincible', just as Rowena said.

The problem is, Harry isn't a true Horcrux yet.

Voldemort only accidentally left a fragment of his soul inside Harry; he didn't actually complete the entire process of creating the Horcrux. Therefore, that fragment of soul wouldn't protect Harry, the vessel he was meant to be.

Dumbledore probably figured these things out later, otherwise he wouldn't have come up with this idea of turning the tables on him.

He didn't warn Harry, probably because he was worried about what Harry was about to do.

After all... if Harry really turned himself into a finished Horcrux, then at least in Albus Dumbledore's view, Voldemort would be completely impossible to destroy.

But this is definitely advantageous to Harry, because a relatively immortal body will make him much safer and give his enemies... a bigger headache!

"To transform yourself into a complete Horcrux, you need to slightly activate Voldemort's soul power. When you're ready, come find me in the Limbo. Also... practice your wind Elemental Power during this time."

"Hmm... looks like I'll have to have a little fight with him. I understand." Harry nodded at his diary. "I'll come find you after I've dealt with the Fake Moody."

After closing the diary, a slightly amused smile crept onto Harry's lips.

He was really looking forward to seeing Voldemort's expression after he saw him.

In particular, that guy was facing a Horcrux that truly belonged to him, yet he was completely unable to control it, looking like a defeated dog.

Oh, and his curse.

"Bone of parents, flesh of servants"... It seems Harry has little chance of doing anything to him now.

But it's alright, we still have the blood of our enemies, right?

If you want to get your own blood, feel free to try!

(ps: some points that may be unclear)

1. The power of the Avada Kedavra is not to destroy the soul, but to destroy life; Voldemort, who possessed Horcrux, lost his body and magic after being hit by it, which is a sign of the severing of life force. If the Killing Curse destroys the soul, then Voldemort's remnant soul should have disappeared directly, and then another Horcrux should have been damaged to release a piece of the soul; similarly, the phoenix cannot be reborn after being hit by it, because its soul has already been killed.

2. It's not supposed to be possible to destroy Horcrux by Avada Kedavra, because in the original text, apart from the soul fragment inside Harry, no Horcrux was destroyed by Avada Kedavra. On the contrary, Basilisk Venom is repeatedly mentioned. Although some Baidu searches say that Avada Kedavra is a way to destroy Horcrux, Baidu also says that Avada Kedavra is ineffective after Nagini was made into Horcrux.

So here's the question: both were living Horcrux, so why was Nagini unharmed, but Harry had his soul fragments destroyed?

Therefore, in my opinion, this is the biggest plot hole in the whole book. As Horcrux Sanmiao, Harry should be indestructible. Avada Kedavra, who cannot destroy souls, ultimately destroyed Voldemort's soul. This plot is just Rowling forcing the protagonist to have a conclusion with Voldemort.

Therefore, for this part, I adopted some secondary settings from the internet, namely that Harry is a half-finished Horcrux; he is just a container, but not protected.

Even so, the plot Avada Kedavra destroys Old Voldy's soul fragments still has problems, so I will definitely change that part. That's all~)

Chapter 603 The Unforgivable Curse, Soul Stealing on the Spot

Quite a few things happened during the short holiday at the beginning of the new school year.

Harry accomplished the human feat of drawing lightning with his bare hands; the Fake Moody was exposed as soon as he infiltrated Hogwarts, and Harry also learned of Voldemort's plans. Furthermore...

Harry gained another layer of understanding of Dumbledore, but it was clearly not for a good reason.

The following Monday, the first day of fourth grade, students from both the Eagle House and Gryffindor House coincidentally received their new professor's first Defense Against the Dark Arts Class.

Students from the two colleges had significantly different attitudes toward this class.

The Gryffindor House students were very excited about this, especially after learning that the Fake Moody had stood up for Ron and taught Malfoy a lesson. They had been looking forward to seeing what kind of exciting lessons this elite Auror with superb skills would bring them.

However, the students at Eagle House were somewhat uninterested in the class, naturally because of the shocking revelation that struck down the Fake Moody on the very first night of the semester.

Moreover, many of them firmly believed in the article "The Quibbler," thinking that Harry must have gone to the Albanian Forest during the summer vacation and even confronted the You-Know-Who!

So, Harry even managed to drive away You-Know-Who as terrifying as Voldemort, so isn't his Defense Against the Dark Arts far superior to that of Moody, a retired Auror?

Why not just make Harry a professor? It's not like he can't teach!

This discussion had been going on since morning and hadn't stopped until just before the first class.

The chatter in the classroom only subsided when the distinctive thumping footsteps of the Fake Moody echoed down the corridor.

The Fake Moody pushed open the classroom door and walked in. Because he didn't have the Magic Eye, his face didn't look as strange as when they first met, but his empty eye sockets looked even more frightening.

"Put all these books away." Seeing the copies of Dark Forces: A Guide to Self-Defense spread out on the students' tables, Fake Moody said gruffly. "These textbooks are unnecessary for my classes."

Upon hearing this, everyone did as instructed, their expressions showing a hint of excitement.

In Defense Against the Dark Arts class, no student likes a teacher who just reads from the textbook.

"Now I'm going to take attendance." Seeing that the whole class's attention was focused on him, the Fake Moody began to call out names from top to bottom according to the roster, while staring intently at each student who answered with his only remaining eye, as if trying to memorize their appearance.

"Alright." After the last student answered, the Fake Moody put away the roster. "I spoke with Professor Lupin before, and he highly praised your level, saying that you have learned to deal with many kinds of dark Magical Creatures, and most of you have mastered Patronus. In addition, the Potter family boy seems to have summarized that... theorem?"

The Fake Moody's words caused another uproar in the classroom, especially among the students of Eagle House, many of whom had already proudly raised their heads.

Lupin is undoubtedly an excellent professor. The fact that he so highly praises Harry's theories naturally shows that Harry is in no way inferior to those excellent teachers when it comes to Defense Against the Dark Arts.

"But that's not enough!" Suddenly, the Fake Moody poured cold water on the situation. "What you've mastered is nothing more than child's play. The most terrifying thing about dark wizards is their spells, and you're severely lacking in that area! Therefore, I'm going to let you experience the magic of dark wizards and teach you how to deal with them!"

"What did you say?" "Are you going to demonstrate Dark Magic?!"

As soon as the Fake Moody uttered those words, all the students in the classroom showed expressions of surprise.

"You need to understand that if you've never encountered a danger before, how can you protect yourself from it? If a dark wizard wants to cast an illegal spell on you, he won't tell you his intentions, much less openly cast the spell. So you must be prepared and always vigilant!"

After delivering a lengthy speech, the Fake Moody looked around and asked in a gruff voice, "So... does anyone know which spells are subject to the most severe punishments under wizarding law?"

Several hands were raised hesitantly. After glancing at them briefly, Moody chose Ron to stand up and answer.

"Uh, well," Ron seemed a little unsure, "My dad told me about one, it's called the Imperius Curse ... something like that."

"Oh, yes." Fake Moody nodded affirmatively. "Your father must know this spell. Back in the day, the Imperius Curse caused the Ministry of Magic a lot of trouble."

He dragged his prosthetic leg with difficulty to the lectern, took out a glass bottle from the drawer containing a large black spider.

Upon seeing that thing, Ron couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

The Fake Moody, on the other hand, reached into the bottle, pulled out the spider, and spread it out on his palm so that everyone could see it.

He pointed his wand at the spider and muttered to himself, "Imperio!"
