Horcruxes That No Longer Mattered

Harry felt like he had opened Pandora's box.

This made him extremely embarrassed.

He felt that he would rather be the one being targeted by Dumbledore than be discussing the child's due date with Dumbledore.

And what name to choose for the child.

Harry noticed something too.

That is, Dumbledore himself was not as perceptive as usual.

The joy of fatherhood made Dumbledore almost forget everything else.

They lost that X-ray-like insight.

This is why Dumbledore hasn't noticed Harry's embarrassment yet.

She kept talking non-stop about the topic of children.

However, Dumbledore doesn't seem to mention Grindelwald's name at all later on.

From this perspective, the rumor that Dumbledore and Grindelwald rekindled their old flame in "The Quibbler" is just that—a rumor.

They may have ignited, but then quickly went out for some unknown reason.

Harry suspects that if Grindelwald hadn't had Dumbledore's child...

Dumbledore probably wouldn't even mention Grindelwald's name.

Just as Dumbledore was about to talk about who would be the godfather of his child after the birth of the child...

Harry quickly asked, "Dumbledore, what's the lesson for tonight?"

"A course?" Dumbledore moment, then his eyes cleared. He

I glanced subconsciously at the portraits of the principals on the wall.

Then he looked away.

However, Harry noticed that a chubby wizard with a red nose was clearly dozing off.

Because compared to when Harry came in, he was now wearing a hearing aid that appeared out of nowhere.

"I think I should get down to business."

You must be wondering why I told you about my child and mentioned my inappropriate relationship with that person?

Please forgive me, this is an obvious mistake made by an elderly father who is new to fatherhood. Dumbledore rubbed his eyes.

"This—this is my fault."

"It was my inappropriate suggestion that came first," Harry quickly replied.

"But clearly, I was the one leading this conversation."

I'm not bragging, but guiding a conversation is something that's incredibly easy for me.

"But I'm unwilling to use it." Dumbledore paused, "Alright."

Time has already passed.

Let's stop arguing about who's right and who's wrong.

Let's just consider it half and half.

Harry nodded.

Dumbledore stood up. "I think you and your friends know about Horcrux."

After all, you even know that only Professor Riddle can truly kill Voldemort.

I also noticed the questions you asked in the Ancient Runes.

You've probably noticed that there are likely seven Horcrux now.

Draco guessed that Voldemort might not have had time to create the seven he envisioned before being defeated by me, who had just been born.

"This—?" Harry asked.

"He is indeed a very perceptive child."

Even Tom —that is, your Professor Riddle, as I call him now—thinks it's possible.

A lot happened this summer.

The discovery of Caradoc's body also confirms this point.

Voldemort transformed his most prized Slytherin's Locket into Horcrux by killing Caradoc, who also had Gaunt blood.

Of course, we all know that.

It had already destroyed it at the Black Family Manor during the summer after you were in first grade.

Then there's the diary. Your friend's father Lucius Malfoy, gave it to me. It has now become independent, your Professor Riddle, whom I now call Tom. It has become the weapon to kill Voldemort.

And then there's the Hufflepuff's Golden Cup. It was thanks to your reminder, Harry, that this Horcrux was destroyed by Tom. The Hufflepuff's Golden Cup is now back in the kitchen.

We can see that Voldemort had a strong obsession with turning the treasures of the Four Founders into Horcrux.

The only two treasures that remain, and that we know of, are still intact: the Sword of Gryffindor and the Ravenclaw's Diadem.

"Wait a minute," Harry interrupted Dumbledore's 'lesson', "Ravenclaw's Diadem has been turned into Horcrux."

Helena —well, the Grey Lady told me.

The Ravenclaw's Diadem I have in my hand was remade for her by Ravenclaw herself.

She had already revealed the whereabouts of the original one to a young Voldemort.

Presumably, it had already become Horcrux.

"Is that so?" Dumbledore said calmly. "Horcrux are not important—on the path to defeating Voldemort."

I only brought them up because they are important to you or Tom."Dumbledore suddenly turned his eyes and looked behind him. " Harry, you are Voldemort's last Horcrux."

I'm pretty sure about that.

I've also confirmed that Voldemort himself was unaware of this secret.

Otherwise, wouldn't he have repeatedly expressed malice towards you and even wanted to kill you when you were in first grade?

Instead, it reveals a different side of itself, one from its younger days. Using the excuse of avoiding me, it chooses to ignore me, focusing all its attention on the Philosopher's Stone. "At the moment Dumbledore confessed..."

Harry tensed up. He desperately tried to control his newfound, almost instinctive ability to lie, concealing any possible slip-ups. He tried his best to sound like he was hearing it for the first time. "So, you mean...?"

You made Professor Riddle independent all for my sake?

Does anyone else know?

"You guessed it." Dumbledore took off his glasses and wiped them with the corner of his robe.

Then, after putting it on, he said, "Sirius, Severus Tom, everyone in the Order of the Order of the Phoenix knows them."

But there's a secret that only I, Tom, know.

Today, another one of you will be added to the list.

That means you, as a living Horcrux, and Tom Voldemort are each other's Horcrux, remaining immortal.

Voldemort.

Tom could kill them by virtue of his status as a fellow main soul.

But you are different; you are Tom's Horcrux.

After I die, in those long years, you will serve as a protective lock to prevent Tom from going astray.

However, you should be aware that the three Horcrux that Voldemort may have left behind are also your and Tom's Horcrux.

If Tom really has changed.

He might kill you without hesitation.

So what you need to do is find all the Horcrux that Voldemort left behind after his death.

If I were still alive then, I would stay with you.

And destroy all the Horcrux except for yours in front of Tom.

That way, even if Tom goes bad, he won't want to kill you.

As long as we live, there will be a day when things are set right.

But maybe I'm just overthinking it.

Tom is now truly a commendable wizard.

Even though he has changed over time.

You must have been very powerful by then.

Tom, considering your strength, wouldn't dare to overstep his bounds.

Harry remained silent for a long time before looking up and saying, "What about me? Won't I change too?"

Dumbledore chuckled softly. "No, you're the only one who won't."
