Other Uses for Horcruxes

Slytherin's Locket?

Is this just bad luck...? He does have that thing, and it's right here, but it's still Horcrux and can't be used for now.

"You found it?" Ravenclaw's tone held a slight hint of surprise.

"Actually, I've also found Hufflepuff's Cup," Kyle said sheepishly. "And Sword of Gryffindor, it's in the Hogwarts Headmaster. I can borrow it if needed."

"No need, the Slytherin's Locket is enough," Ravenclaw said.

To be honest, she really didn't expect that the thing that best represented the four of them would end up in the hands of one person at the same time.

Kyle, and the one who made the Horcrux.

Although his behavior is infuriating, it must be admitted that he is indeed very capable.

"The Grey Lady ... I have another question." Kyle thought for a moment, then continued, "After the Vanishing Spell is successful, the Slytherin's Locket will definitely fall down, right? Then won't I be unable to turn back forever?"

As mentioned before, to cast Vanishing Spell on yourself, you must transfer the magic power within your body. Without magic power, you certainly can't cast a counter-charm, right?

"You don't need to worry about that."

Ravenclaw spoke calmly, softly reciting the Vanishing Spell incantation.

Although it was the same incantation, Kyle still sensed the difference.

Immediately afterwards, a strange picture appeared before his eyes, as if the spell had been broken down into different Ancient Runes formulas.

These Ancient Runes connected with each other, forming a larger symbol.

"Although there are slight differences in some places, it is essentially a standard Transfiguration Spell."

Ravenclaw continued, "I've seen Salazar's Slytherin's Locket. The magic stored inside doesn't affect the Transfiguration Spell. As long as you carry it with you, you can treat it like clothing or something and use it to Transfiguration."

"The only thing you need to be careful about is that you must be able to use Nonverbal Spell and Wandless Magic proficiently, because you will be unable to use a wand or make any sounds after you have completed your Transfiguration."

"I don't think these will be difficult for you."

Kyle thought for a moment and said, "Nonverbal Spell are fine. I might not be very skilled at Wandless Magic, but I can manage."

"Not familiar with it?" Ravenclaw's voice wavered slightly.

It seemed to her that it was incredible that Kyle, at his age, couldn't use Nonverbal Spell and Wandless Magic skillfully.

"In fact, we don't learn Nonverbal Spell until sixth grade," Kyle explained. "As for Wandless Magic, there are absolutely no requirements for it, and even the most rigorous Nastily Exhausting Wizarding Test won't include any questions related to it."

Ravenclaw paused for a moment, then said softly, "It seems you don't need to face danger that could come at any moment, that's good..."

"The Grey Lady... you, I mean, was the Wizarding World dangerous a thousand years ago?" Kyle asked with some curiosity.

"That's a difficult question for me to answer," Ravenclaw said. "What I've seen is very different from what ordinary wizards experience... but it's certainly not as safe as it is now."

Kyle nodded.

A thousand years ago... According to records found in libraries, wizards of that era certainly didn't have an easy time.

At that moment, Kyle suddenly remembered something and spoke again.

"The Grey Lady, may I ask one more question?"

No voice came to his mind. Ravenclaw neither agreed nor refused, but Kyle had a feeling that she was standing right in front of him, staring at him.

"I just have an idea," Kyle said, "But I don't know if it will work, so I wanted to check it out."

"Then tell me," Ravenclaw finally responded.

"Yes, it's about Horcrux ..." Kyle said cautiously.

"Do you also desire immortality?" Ravenclaw's voice held a hint of disappointment, but it vanished in an instant. "If so, I suggest you use the Philosopher's Stone. For a wizard, a complete soul is of great importance."

If you read enough books, you'll find that the Herpo the Foul disappeared after creating the first Horcrux.

He regretted it and did many things in the hope of reuniting his separated souls.

"No, that's not what I meant." Kyle shook his head. "I meant, if someone goes insane because their soul has been torn apart, is it possible to bring them back to their senses using Horcrux?"

"The soul is torn apart?"

"It's the Cruciatus Curse, an extremely evil curse that can affect the soul," Kyle said. "I have a friend whose parents had their souls torn into many pieces because they were tormented by the Cruciatus Curse."

"St Mungo's's healers say these fragments of soul influence each other, causing them to become delirious and unable to communicate normally with others."

"So I had this idea: if I separate the soul fragments using Horcrux, will they be able to heal?"

Ravenclaw fell silent again, and after a long while said, "I'm afraid that Herpo the Foul could never have imagined that the spell he invented could one day be used to save lives."

"So this method works, right?" Kyle asked excitedly.

"No, I can't do it." Ravenclaw immediately poured a bucket of cold water on him.

"To complete Horcrux, one needs to use intense malice to expel the soul fragments from the body. How could someone who can't even communicate normally generate enough malice to move their soul?"

"So, now that you know this, what are you going to do next, or rather, what are your thoughts?" Ravenclaw's tone shifted, and he asked with interest, like a professor asking a question to a student.

"Hmm... can I use my body as Horcrux?" Kyle frowned slightly, pondering as he spoke.

"If we can't push the soul out, then we'll look nearby... hair, eyebrows, a bone—these can all become Horcrux."

"A good idea, and absolutely correct," Ravenclaw said. "The only problem is that if the soul fragments cannot detach from the body, Horcrux cannot grant immortality."

"It doesn't matter," Kyle waved his hand and said, "As long as they can come to their senses, that's enough. If they could truly live forever, it would only cause a lot of trouble... and besides, they themselves probably wouldn't want it."

"That's good, but have you considered an even simpler method... to use the soul fragment itself as Horcrux?"

"Is this really going to work?" Kyle asked in surprise.

"It just requires a slight change in the process," Ravenclaw said. "I can teach you."
