Chapter 148 The Story of Horcruxes and Voldemort’s Regrets

Voldemort conveyed a subtle message to the pure-blood faction: My friends, there is still hope for realizing the great cause of wizards ruling the world!Never give up.

Although the pure-blood faction in the audience were confused, they were still lucky!They thought things were about to turn around and were extremely excited.

But only Lucius thought that Voldemort was simply overthinking.

Soon, they will know what "Flowers in the Mirror, Moon in Water" means.

"Light? Miracle? You think you are a giant of light!"

Complaints are complaints, Hughes ignored Voldemort and didn't even bother to stop him from sending signals. Anyway, after the press conference, what should be settled will naturally be settled.

Then, under the control of Hughes, the press conference returned to its normal rhythm.

"My guests may not have experienced it, but I think you, professors and my classmates, must be able to feel that as soon as this semester begins, too many things have happened in Hogwarts..."

The gentle breeze stirred up waves on the quiet water surface.

Hughes's words are like the breeze, and our memories are like the lake.

As members of the castle, students and professors are most aware of the series of major events that have occurred this semester.As soon as Hughes explained it, they immediately understood the reasons and details.

It turned out that for the past year, they had been living with the terrifying Dark Lord, and so many terrible things happened around them, but they knew nothing about it.

I really agree with that sentence, there is never any peace and ease, it is just that someone is carrying the burden for them behind the scenes, and the reason why they can live safely and happily in school is undoubtedly It's all thanks to Hughes.

I don’t know who took the lead in shouting. After that, the scene suddenly burst into uniform shouts.

The light of Slytherin!

The light of Slytherin!

Hogwarts Lights!

Hogwarts Lights!

Hogwarts Lights!

Hogwarts Lights!

……

Looking at all this, the guests, except the school professor, were all shocked.

Looking up, Lucius looked at Voldemort with surprised eyes, thinking: "Even the Dark Lord, I'm afraid he couldn't make all the students in the academy so convinced in his life, right?"

Voldemort was stunned at first, and then he was so cruel that he begged for death: "How did he do it, and even Gryffindor supported him so much? Aren't the Snake House and the Lion House a feud? But, so what, hurry up Kill me and wait until I come back next time.”

……

Snape smiled evilly and looked forward again. Under the leadership of Hughes, Slytherin would be able to conquer everything.

Dumbledore seemed a little lonely, of course, this was inevitable.

after all,

No one is eternal in this era;

He no longer dominates the times;

There is no ship in the new era that can carry him.

……

This scene, it can be said, completely abbreviates the way the wizarding world will view Hughes in the future.

Click!

There was another flash of light, and Hughes held back the tears inspired by the light spell, and still maintained a calm appearance.

But today, everyone, captured by the magic camera, recorded a 360-degree moving picture that later generations called "The Change of Times". Later, because of the popularity of wizards, the newspaper published multiple supplements.

No matter what the world is, students are a group that easily arouses enthusiasm and keeps their blood boiling.

All the students at Hogwarts chanted for Hughes for a long time, but the enthusiasm still did not fade away, so Hughes could only bear the pain and give up.

His successive actions suppressed the enthusiasm of his classmates.

It should be said that today's press conference was full of twists and turns. Such a grand event was worthy of Voldemort's status.

Hughes thought to himself: He should die without regrets!

In the eyes of the media reporters in the first row, his right hand slowly disappeared and reappeared, but there was an ancient notebook in it than before.

Taking out the first Horcrux made by Voldemort, Hughes turned around and asked, "Are you familiar with this thing?"

Voldemort was confused and asked, "Why? How come you have this thing in your hands?"

Then he came to his senses and turned to look at the audience, "Is it you, Lucius?! I gave this notebook to you and asked you to keep it safe."

He lost his composure and yelled, "You betrayed me and failed me. You don't deserve my friendship and trust..."

As Voldemort kept barking, Lucius seemed to just remember his erratic behavior. Perhaps it was his conscience that discovered it?He lowered his head in regret, like a prodigal son who had suddenly come to his senses.

But Hughes ignored him. After all, he was no longer an old actor. He would rather believe that there were ghosts in the world than believe that people like Lucius would regret changing families. It can be said that Malfoy was double-dealing, but this was exactly what they wanted. The way of living.

Therefore, Hughes continued: "If you don't want to answer, let me introduce it to you."

"In order to gain Professor Slughorn's trust, you joined his slug club, but I have to say that you behaved very well at the time. To be honest, I can't believe it."

"In order to live forever, you asked him about the black magic of soul division and the method of preserving soul fragments, and the "Notebook: Tom Riddle" from your student days was a Horcrux to preserve the soul."

"There is a legend about the Chamber of Secrets in Hogwarts. You spent five years looking for it... Later, you used your talent - Parseltongue, to control the basilisk, and attacked several students, including one named A Muggle-born student named Myrtle Warren died in the women's bathroom on the second floor."

……

As Hughes told the story, the students finally knew what happened to the crying Myrtle on the second floor, and why she was so miserable. Even after decades of death, she still couldn't calm down the resentment that penetrated her soul.

At the same time, Hagrid, Dumbledore, Fudge, Voldemort and others also had very different expressions.

After more than 40 years, the scapegoat, the school professor, the Ministry of Magic presiding over the trial, and the real murderer reunited again, but even the parties involved could not have imagined this kind of reunion.

It was nothing at first, but after the story was exposed, Hagrid, who was several meters tall, started crying like a little daughter-in-law under the comfort of Flitwick and other professors.

For decades, only he knew he was innocent.

A good life is ruined before it even begins.Assuming that the slander case had not occurred, Hagrid would have graduated from Hogwarts normally!Then marry a giantess and start a happy family or something...

Even Dumbledore expressed his belief in Hagrid from a personal point of view because he had no evidence and only out of his understanding of Hagrid's character. It turns out that the truth of the matter is here.

The chief mage of the Wizengamot, he understands that only the announcement of such a major event can help Hagrid!

Sure enough, Fudge heard that the Ministry of Magic misjudged the students of Hogwarts and not only allowed the birth of the Dark Lord, but also ruined the life of a kind student. How could he not be angry!

Didn’t you see that group of dead reporters were constantly taking pictures and writing?

Tomorrow, the Ministry of Magic will definitely become a laughing stock, and will even be unable to hold its head high in the International Union of Wizards in the future.

……

Neither Voldemort nor anyone else would have imagined that Voldemort had such a past and such things as Horcruxes. Because Hughes took out his notebook, some were happy and some were sad.

But soon, they knew that they still underestimated Hughes.

Marvolo Gaunt's ring, Slytherin's locket, Hufflepuff's golden cup, and Ravenclaw's crown were all taken out one by one by Hughes.

The representative of Sir Merlin pointed at these tremblingly and asked: "Mr. Carter, are these all..."

He asked the question that everyone cared about in a tone of disbelief and certainty.

"Yes, sir, please sit down first, and then I will speak slowly."

Then, Hughes told the stories about Voldemort and these Horcruxes one by one.

These stories, in addition to embodying Voldemort's cruelty, which has nothing to do with outsiders and is almost innate to him, and more importantly, there are many allusions behind them.

Injustice has its head, and debt has its owner.

Someone has to be responsible for the murders of the Gaunt family and the wealthy Hepzibah Smith, right?

Deceive Lady Grey, steal the diadem, and hide it in Hogwarts.

He also applied for Defense Against the Dark Arts professor twice, and even cursed him when he was rejected. He said that he loved Hogwarts, but in fact he just wanted to become the headmaster and get his hands on the Sword of Gryffindor.

Because he had obtained the relics of the other three giants and made them into Horcruxes.

When Hughes took out the Horcruxes one by one, how could he, as the owner of the Horcruxes, not be able to tell whether they were true or false?But there was one thing he didn't understand: why the locket was in Hughes's hand and the gold cup was in Hughes's hand.

"The locket was obviously placed in the cave I went to when I was a child, and no one knew about it..."

Voldemort's question also aroused everyone's curiosity. Although they had never seen the two of them dueling magic, the tension between their words and actions at this moment seemed to be interesting to them.

Hughes then told the story of Regulus Black, and finally even called Kreacher to testify.

The old and ugly Kreacher had already burst into tears.

Although house elves have no status in the wizarding world, it is not a trial at this moment. Kreacher just wants to restore his master's reputation, so his narrative is already convincing enough.

"Therefore, Regulus is worthy of his reputation as the patriarch of the Black family."

Voldemort collapsed when he heard that Regulus was risking his own life to steal his Horcrux.

You must know that there were not many of his subordinates who could be trusted by him to this extent, and there were only three of them: Bellatrix, Malfoy and Regulus.

But now, the Horcrux has been found by the enemy.The enemy also wanted to tell him that his trusted subordinate had betrayed him long ago?

Doesn't this mean that you are blind?

But when I think about it, the facts about Regulus are right in front of me, and the notebook has passed from Lucius's hand to Hughes's... maybe Bella, who is the most sincere and obsessed with herself, may even die for her. He is also lying to himself.

Bella!

Thinking of the woman who was manipulated by her family and suffered such misfortune, his heart softened for no reason. He didn't believe that Bella would betray him.

I saw Voldemort asking: "What about the golden cup? How did you get it?"

This puzzled Hughes, "How did I get it? Do you want me to write a book to tell you?"

After all, the only thing behind the golden cup that needed to be exposed was also mentioned along with the locket. As for the remaining things, it seemed a bit disgraceful, so Hughes didn't want to talk too much.

But Voldemort didn't want to let it go. Maybe Bella, a girl who bravely pursues love, is also a girl from the Holy 28 clan, and is very similar to his mother, so it is very important to him.

Voldemort struggled desperately as if he was about to break the scarlet chain.

"I clearly gave the gold cup to Bella...Bellatrix is ​​stored in Gringotts' high-level vault. Even with your ability, you can break through Gringotts' anti-theft system..."

After a pause, he finally asked the question he was most concerned about.

"But, besides me and Bella, how did you know that the Golden Cup was hidden in Gringotts?"

Hughes knew Voldemort couldn't escape, so he didn't want to pay attention at all.

But Voldemort's actions just now frightened everyone in the audience. They all offered kind words and begged Hughes earnestly, begging Hughes to tell the story to appease Voldemort's excited soul.

Thinking that a dying person could speak kind words, Hughes suddenly felt kindhearted and wanted to satisfy Voldemort's curiosity a little.

"No one told me, I deduced it myself. Oh, I guess you don't understand what derivation and logic are. This is Muggle knowledge, and only smart people can master the knowledge."

"To verify my derivation results, I asked Mr. Malfoy, from Azkaban..."

Hughes also paused, which made Voldemort feel a tug in his heart. He was deeply afraid that Hughes would tell the most terrifying news in the next moment.

Fortunately.

"In Azkaban, I made an excuse and obtained Bella's hair to use in Mr. Carter's Polyjuice Potion."

Lucius answered, firstly to show that he had changed his family now, and secondly, that Lucius really didn't know the process of what happened next.

Hughes continued what Lucius said: "Then, just as you thought, after drinking the polyjuice potion, I disguised myself as Bellatrix and got the gold cup."

"wrong!"

It wasn't Fudge, it was the Carlo siblings who suddenly jumped up this time.

Fudge turned to look at the Carlo brothers and sisters, why do you want to play my role this time?Now he has learned well. When people are under the roof, he has to act based on other people's faces.

"Gringotts has five more anti-thief mechanisms. Among them, the anti-thief waterfall can be broken by polyjuice potion and transfiguration. How can you get the gold cup?"

"Unless...unless it's really Bellatrix who helps you get out the golden cup."

As a result, as soon as these words came out, they were immediately considered by the Legal Enforcement Department of the Ministry of Magic to be slandering them.Scrimgeour, as the Auror Director, and Crouch, as the Director, although they did not deal with each other, they were unanimous in communicating with the outside world at this moment.

"A series of nonsense!"

"Bullshit!"

"No one can escape from Azkaban..."

"We don't know about the Horcruxes, and we don't know where the Golden Cup is? How can we possibly release Bellatrix?"

……

This was due to their lack of cooperation. There were several of the largest media outlets in the wizarding world nearby. When the Carlo brothers and sisters said that it was true that Bella came out of Azkaban, the reporters started storm mode and the automatic magic pen wrote like crazy.

Scrimgeour glanced at the title of the draft and was frightened out of his wits.

"Is the law enforcement flexible, or is it too ugly?The hidden profits behind Azkaban..."

I dare not write this!Journalist (short for reporter friend, not a typo of gay friend), oh no, it’s a friend!

"It is true that the effect of my Polyjuice Potion was seen through by the Anti-Thief Waterfall, but I think the 'friends' behind me can prove to me that Gringotts's protective methods are not a problem for me, even if there is a dragon. "

As soon as Hughes said this, the pure-blood faction's first reaction was to glance at Voldemort behind him, and then subconsciously nodded to Hughes's words.

Hey, what do you mean?I'm not dead yet?

Voldemort laughed angrily at his younger brothers. Even if you think it makes sense, can't you avoid me?

Hearing that Bella was not betraying him, Voldemort felt a little happy even though he was in a pre-death trial.

It's a pity that in this world, Voldemort has no chance to have sex with Bella in Malfoy Manor. Voldemort's future daughter is quite beautiful...

Of course, these are not the point.

With the announcement of Hughes, everyone knew the concept of Horcruxes. Some people even lamented which fool invented this kind of black magic. It was simply endangering future generations. There is obviously magic and longevity, so why bother to study it? Horcruxes.

It also introduces how Voldemort got to where he is today step by step, and various things during this period were announced.

They knew that this was not something Hughes was making up. The performance of Voldemort, the person involved, proved that the murder case, the slander case, the story behind the Horcrux, etc. were all exactly as Hughes said.

After hearing this, Voldemort was speechless. He was shocked, how could Hughes know so much about him?

Some of the details were so long ago that Hughes almost forgot about them even if he didn't mention them.

But when I think about Isius's strength and current situation, I'm afraid that my life and career are really coming to an end.

In the end, he regretted why he didn't make Nanij into a Horcrux earlier. He had thought about this before.

Press conference, continue.

The Carlo siblings are undeterred.

"Aha!"

Fudge thought to himself that this scene seemed a bit familiar.

"So, you admit that you were the thief who broke into Gringotts the day before yesterday?"

"Yeah?" Everyone thought: "Ami, as a male wizard, do you have such a clear mind?"

Hughes shrugged, "Yes, I did rob Gringotts, but so what?"

If the influence of Hughes on everyone before was arrogance, now it is madness.

The enemies of my enemies, while not necessarily friends, can become temporary allies.

Fudge decided to help the Carlo brothers and sisters denounce Hughes. Who else did Fudge think he would be better at talking about?

Suddenly, amid the doubts of the Carlo brothers and sisters, he stood up and pointed at Hughes, oh no, his eyes shifted...

Dumbledore?no.

Snape?Okay, it’s you!

He stood up, pointed at Snape's nose, and cursed!

"Look at the good students you have taught... The Dark Lord is indeed harmful, but if wizards and goblins are robbed and a war breaks out because of Gringotts, you can just wait to apologize!"

Hughes didn't understand. Could this also be a reason to be attacked? ?

Didn't Voldemort also send people to rob Gringotts in the original book?I didn’t see any war break out!What's more, the Goblin King has already cooperated with his Dark Night Knights, so it is even less likely that a war will break out casually.

"Relax!"

Hughes squinted and looked at Fudge.

"I assure all wizards that nothing will happen to the goblin."

As soon as Hughes said his promise, a group of goblins came from a distance. If it wasn't the person in charge of Gringotts, who was it?

Accompanying us are the lobby manager, security director, and...

"Is the time stuck so coincidentally? What are Griphook and the others doing here?"
