Professor of Pharmacy at Hogwarts

"This is Tom Riddle's diary."

Alexis said.

"Voldemort is coming for Harry."

"what?"

"When?"

Lupine and Sirius Black exclaimed in surprise, while Snape remained expressionless - he was under the Petrification Curse, and even if he tried to make an expression, he probably couldn't.

"How is Harry?"

Sirius Black asked nervously.

Alexis shook her head.

"He captured Quirrell and possessed him to steal the Philosopher's Stone."

Alexis told the whole story, starting from picking up Harry, to taking the Philosopher's Stone before Quirrell, discovering that the unicorn was killed in the Forbidden Forest, and then discovering the secret of the fourth floor and setting up a trap. The trap lured Voldemort...

"Since you discovered Quirrell, why didn't you take action?"

Sirius Black asked dissatisfiedly.

"Bring your brain before asking questions, okay!"

Alexis knocked on Sirius Black and said with a hint of disgust.

"Quirrell was the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher before Hogwarts, and the Ministry of Magic now prohibits talking about Voldemort. If you attack Quirrell before you can prove that there is something wrong with him, Alexis will be in a lot of trouble. "

Lupine explained patiently.

Sirius Black nodded with a "I see" look on his face.

Alexis looked at Snape, pulled out her wand, and lifted the petrification spell.

Snape lowered his hand, still holding the wand, but did not rush to do it.

"Have you ever heard of Horcruxes?"

"The Horcrux?"

Lupine and Sirius Black looked confused. They obviously didn't know what a Horcrux was.

Alexis turned her gaze to Snape.

Snape remained silent.

Alexis couldn't tell from Snape's elongated face whether he knew or not.

"do you know?"

Therefore, Alexis could only take the initiative to ask questions.

Snape shook his head. 【Note 1】

"A Horcrux is an item created by a dark wizard to store soul fragments in order to make himself immortal. In order to create a Horcrux, the wizard must commit murder, and the murder must be intentional and conscious."

"After killing someone, the wizard must make a Horcrux immediately."

"This diary is one of Voldemort's Horcruxes."

"one?"

"Are there other Horcruxes?"

Although the other three had never heard of Horcruxes, it was clear that Sirius Black woke up to the secret of Horcruxes before Snape and Lupine.

In his opinion, this was just another trick of a dark wizard, probably similar to the Soul Imperius Curse or something like that.

But this is not a magic spell.

Nothing to be surprised about.

There are so many things in this world that he doesn't know. If he were surprised by every thing that he didn't know, he would be surprised to death.

"Well, as far as I know, Voldemort has seven Horcruxes in total."

"Seven?"

"How did you know?"

The former was Lupine's exclamation, and the latter was Snape's question.

Snape was keenly aware that when Alexis said this, it was not like hearsay or speculation at all. Instead, he was very sure, as if he was right in front of Voldemort when he was making the Horcrux.

Alexis was right beside Voldemort when he was making the Horcruxes.

is it possible?

Did Voldemort tell him?

Snape quickly dismissed this speculation.

With Alexis's background and James' hatred, it is impossible for him to have any connection with Voldemort.

That's weird, how did he know?

"Information I collected during my travels."

Alexis said while fiddling with her diary.

Sirius Black held his head high, with a look of contempt and pride on his face. The contempt was for Snape - he didn't know such a thing, but the pride was for Alexis - he is indeed my good friend, and he can do all this. Collected.

Lupine nodded without thinking much.

Only Snape stared at Alexis' face for a long time and remained silent.

lie!

Snape was almost certain that Alexis was lying, but he didn't understand why.

Maybe there is some secret that I don't want to know.

Snape thought so.

"Can he really be resurrected by this?"

Sirius Black looked at the diary in Alexis' hand curiously and asked.

Alexis shook her head.

"I do not know."

"In Godric's Hollow, Voldemort's killing curse was reflected by Lily's blood protection spell and hit himself. But he did not die."

"Maybe this is what Horcruxes are for."

Lying again!

Snape was pretty sure that Alexis was lying.

That day at Godric's Hollow, when Alexis arrived, it was obvious that he had just experienced a fierce battle. There was no way he could have arrived at Godric's Hollow earlier than him.

If he had arrived when James and his family were still alive, there was no way he would not have saved them!

But how did he know that Lily's blood protection spell and Voldemort's killing curse were rebounded?It's like he saw it with his own eyes!

"But splitting the soul is a very painful process, and it will also weaken Voldemort to a certain extent."

Alexis continued.

"Now that Voldemort has come to find Harry, we must ensure Harry's safety."

"One way is to find his Horcruxes. After destroying the Horcruxes, Voldemort will become weak. Maybe if we destroy all the Horcruxes, Voldemort will become a level that Harry himself can deal with."

"The other way is that we go find Voldemort and kill him before he is fully resurrected."

That day in the Chamber of Secrets, although Alexis used the Killing Curse on Voldemort, he was certain that Voldemort was not dead.

After Alexis finished speaking, she looked at Snape and the other three.

He himself knew that neither of these methods was a good one.

He has traveled around the world for so many years and has never found Voldemort. Obviously, the second method is not realistic.

The first method is not advisable. Even if they find and destroy all Voldemort's Horcruxes, so what?

Voldemort is always hiding in the dark, and no one can guarantee that Harry will be able to deal with Voldemort who has his Horcrux destroyed.

Alexis clearly remembered that "Advanced Black Magic Revealed" only recorded that Horcruxes were a way to make people immortal, but did not record a way to make people weak.

In other words, destroying the Horcrux can make the maker weak, but it is just the memory of history in his mind, which is not recorded in the book.

No one knows whether this situation is true or false.

Moreover, Voldemort's threat to Harry is not only him, but also the Death Eaters around him.

Even if destroying the Horcrux weakened Voldemort, what about the Death Eaters around him?

Those Death Eaters were enough to kill Harry a thousand times.

To put it bluntly, Harry is also a Horcrux. Do they want them to kill Harry?

Although Alexis has a complete "script" in her head for Harry to die and come back to life, he is not in the "script", and now that he has appeared, things may change.

Moreover, in that "script", Lupin, Sirius Black, Dumbledore, Grindelwald, Snape and many others died.

This is not what he wants.

"Where did you get it?"

Snape asked.

"Lucius. I made a deal with him, and this diary was part of the deal."

Alexis said.

He wanted to join Snape, and he had no intention of hiding his alliance with Lucius.

Snape nodded.

This makes sense.
