HP: Let professors walk towards the light

"My grandfather also had the habit of writing a diary. He was Riddle's classmate. Riddle once tried to win over my grandfather at school, but my grandfather rejected him."

Reina explained.

"Professor... I want to ask, should I not stay in Gryffindor..." Harry said what had been bothering him for a long time.

"Why do you say that?"

"Riddle said that I looked like him. I even spoke Parseltongue, and... the Sorting Hat said I should go to Slytherin..."

"It seems that you have chosen to go to Gryffindor." Snape said slowly.

"No, it was the Sorting Hat that put him in Gryffindor. He is a Gryffindor." Dumbledore said with a smile, "Harry, this is the difference between you and Riddle. You pulled out the sword of Gryffindor, which is enough to prove that only a true Gryffindor can pull it out of the hat."

"As for the fact that you can speak Parseltongue, it's because Voldemort is the last heir of Salazar Slytherin, and he is a Parseltongue. If I'm not mistaken, there must be some of his magic left in your scar."

"Voldemort gave me part of his own power?" Harry was shocked.

"I think so. This is also the Slytherin-like ability that the Sorting Hat saw in you. But in the end, it still placed you in Gryffindor." Dumbledore explained patiently.

Harry was so surprised that he didn't move. For a long moment, the whole headmaster's office was silent.

At this moment, Lucius opened the door of the headmaster's office, followed by the house-elf Dobby.

"Good evening, Lucius," said Dumbledore pleasantly.

"Good evening. I heard that Hermalena was tied up and taken to the Chamber of Secrets, and Draco followed her in. I think I should really make this trip - as a representative and a parent, it seems you are back on time." Lucius spoke like he was reciting poetry.

"Thanks to you. Harry, I think you need food and rest. I wrote a letter to Sirius, and he should be here soon. In addition, I have to write another letter to Azkaban to ask our gamekeeper to come back." He looked at Harry kindly, "Go down and eat something."

Harry nodded, and before leaving, he glanced at Dobby.

Dobby looked at Harry meaningfully, but Lucius kicked him hard.

Harry frowned, but eventually left.

The door of the principal's office closed again.

"Now, which stage are we at, Reina?" Dumbledore still kept smiling.

"I'm so sorry, Headmaster Dumbledore," Reina said to him.

"In fact, you have violated more school rules than all of them combined. Perhaps I should add one more rule in the future: students are not allowed to expel the headmaster." Dumbledore said in a relaxed tone.

"You guessed it."

"I know a lot of things, but there's something I don't know about you," he said. "Is this diary the reason you took Harry into the Chamber of Secrets? It almost looks like..."

"This is a Horcrux." Reina said seriously.

"I guessed it, but I'm not sure," said Dumbledore.

"What is a Horcrux?" Snape asked confusedly.

"An object that can hide a person's soul." Dumbledore explained. "It seems that this is what Voldemort has been pursuing all along - a way to immortality."

"To think there is such a thing..." Lucius felt a little scared.

"Through murdering other people as a prerequisite, one's soul is split and hidden in an object outside the body to create a Horcrux. In this way, even if the body is destroyed, one will not die. As long as the Horcrux is intact, one can gain another degree of immortality." Reina said, "This is one of Voldemort's Horcruxes."

"You mean, there are many Horcruxes like this?" Snape asked.

"There is more than one. This diary, Ravenclaw's diadem, Slytherin's locket, Hufflepuff's cup, Marvolo Gaunt's ring... and Harry Potter."

"That's impossible!" Snape stood up suddenly, "How do you know?"

"I just know it."

Dumbledore pondered for a moment, then he said, "You said Harry was a Horcrux. Could it be that..."

"That scar contains not only Voldemort's magic power, but also a fragment of his soul. So strictly speaking, Harry is not a Horcrux. However, Voldemort probably doesn't know this at the moment."

"Is that your guess?" asked Snape.

"This is not speculation, this is a fact." Reina said firmly, "I won't gain anything by deceiving you."

"What on earth are you——"

"No matter how much you don't trust me, please don't ask me how I know. It's meaningless. You don't need to know. Instead of thinking about these, you might as well think about how to deal with Voldemort." Lena sighed silently.

"So, does the soul fragment in Harry's body have any effect on him? How to destroy it?" Dumbledore asked tentatively.

"At least it will have no effect until Voldemort is resurrected. However, if it wants to be destroyed, only Voldemort can do it himself."

"Could it be possible to let Voldemort kill Harry Potter?" asked Lucius.

"Is this your purpose?" Snape sneered.

"Oh, yes, that is my goal, to let Voldemort kill Harry Potter and then blow up the whole world. If you must think that I want to kill Harry, then I can assure you that he has died countless times. After all, Lily Potter's magic of love will only protect Harry from being harmed by Voldemort before he is 17 years old, and I am not Voldemort. I could have given him an Avada Kedavra directly in the Chamber of Secrets. Oh, no, my magic power may not be enough, so how about a petrification spell followed by a torn-in-to pieces spell?

Professor Snape, could you please use your brain before you keep questioning me? Has your brilliant mind become rusty when it comes to Harry Potter's problem?

"What are you talking about? I can't believe you would say such words to insult your professor!" Snape was furious.

"Oh, calm down, Severus, Hermalena. Why are you arguing over such a small matter? Please understand that an old man like me cannot stand being frightened. Stop for a moment." Dumbledore had to stand up and calm the two of them. He wondered why the two of them got angry while talking.

"This is really a good show." Lucius said that he was very happy to see such scenes.

"So, killing that Potter guy is a piece of cake for you?" Snape looked at Dumbledore.

"Well...it's really not a trivial matter. No, when did I say I was going to kill Harry?" Dumbledore succeeded in becoming confused.

"I think I'd better go check on Draco first." Lucius stood up with his cane, ready to leave.

"It's time for me to go too. The dinner is about to start and I need to go back and wash up. So, bye." Lena walked out.

"Oh, that was not what I expected," said Dumbledore helplessly.

"Do you really believe what she said?" Snape said in a cold tone.
