"I'm afraid so, Anita. Occlumency is a kind of magic that resists the infiltration of the outside world. It's a very profound magic that a little wizard of your age should not master. In fact, little wizards at Hogwarts Doesn't learn Occlumency as it's not a very common magic. Occlumency is usually used to resist Legilimency. Occlumency can be taught on your own, but it takes a lot of practice and a lot of talent You can learn it. Now for your safety, you must master this magic as soon as possible. Therefore, we need to take some shortcuts. Severus is a very accomplished Occlumency Master, and he can help you learn your brain in the shortest possible time. Occlumency. Of course, I am also very good at Occlumency, if you want, you can learn from me." Dumbledore explained.

Learn from Dumbledore?This is much scarier than learning from Dad.Anita hurriedly shook her head and refused, for fear that Dumbledore would change his mind and decide to teach her himself.

Dumbledore showed a regretful expression to Anita, then walked to the fireplace, sprinkled a handful of Floo powder into the fireplace, and when the green flames were burning, Dumbledore stuck his head into the flames and said, " Severus, can you come to my office? Today's password is roach pile."

"I still don't get it," said Anita. "Why lure Voldemort to Hogwarts, shouldn't we try to keep Voldemort as far away from Hogwarts as possible?"

Dumbledore groaned, seemingly unable to decide whether to tell Anita the truth, and finally Dumbledore said, "When Harry defeated Voldemort that night ten years ago, he should have died, but he No, although he is weak now, he is still alive. If we don't figure out why we can't kill Voldemort, we can never really defeat him. So, while Voldemort is weak and can't do much, I I hope to learn more about him so that I can defeat him in the future. As for why I chose Hogwarts, it is the only place where I can observe and even control Voldemort, but he can't be too wary. He infiltrated Hogwarts."

"But what about the little wizards? As a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, Professor Quirrell has contact with little wizards every day. Isn't this too dangerous?" Anita was still a little worried.

"Anita, Voldemort's main concern now is only the thing in the right corridor on the fourth floor. He has no energy to devote to the little wizards who are insignificant to him."

"He can catch a few little wizards and threaten you to hand over something like that."

Dumbledore said affirmatively, "He won't. He won't compromise himself by being threatened, so he doesn't think I will either."

"Then will you?"

"I won't." Dumbledore paused, and added, "I won't let this happen."

"What if something else happens? Professor Dumbledore, don't you think you're too... a little more confident?" Anita wanted to say "arrogant", but she changed it to a non-derogatory word.

"I have other plans, Anita, but I can't tell you. All I can say is, it's a war. Sometimes we need to take a little risk in order to win, and I've tried to minimize that risk. We'll never stop this war if we don't figure out Voldemort's secret of immortality."

"Horcrux," Anita said.

"what?"

"The secret of Voldemort's immortality, the Horcrux." Anita had an intuition that she should not tell the secret of the Horcrux, but Anita didn't know where this intuition came from.She is pretending to be a magic stick, but not a real magic stick.So, this is just an illusion caused by her anxiety, right?

For the first time, a shocked expression appeared on Dumbledore's face, and he sat back in his chair a little weakly, and repeated, "Horcrux (Horcrux)?"

"Yes, Voldemort split his soul and hid the fragments of his soul in some object so that if his body were attacked or destroyed..."

"He can't die either." Three voices said at the same time.

Anita and Dumbledore turned their heads at the same time, and saw Severus standing aside expressionlessly.

"Oh, Severus." After Dumbledore said that, he continued to fall into thought.

Severus also remained silent, standing there with blank eyes, neither looking at Anita nor Dumbledore.

Anita looked from Dumbledore to Papa, wisely deciding to keep quiet.

After several minutes, Dumbledore asked, "How many Horcruxes did you see?"

"Seven."

"Seven is the most magical number," said Dumbledore thoughtfully.

"Then did you see what kind of object Voldemort put his soul fragment in?" Dumbledore asked, looking closely into Anita's eyes.

"I..." Just as Anita was about to say what the seven Horcruxes were, she felt once again that she would regret it if she said it out. This intuition came from nowhere. It was very unreasonable, but very strong. .Anita finally chose to trust her instincts for once, and she shook her head and said, "I didn't see it."

Dumbledore was a little disappointed, but he didn't force it. He was not the kind of person who put all his hopes on "prophecy". He believed in his own plan more than prophecy.Moreover, the information Anita brought him today was already an unexpected surprise. With the important piece of the puzzle of "Horcrux", Voldemort's secrets gradually became clear.

"It's okay, you've done a good job." Dumbledore comforted Anita who looked a little depressed (in fact, Anita was guilty and guilty), "We will find these seven Horcruxes."

"Anita, you go to bed first, Severus and I still have something to talk about. Don't tell others what happened tonight. Don't go to Defense Against the Dark Arts class tomorrow, I believe we will have it soon A new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor," said Dumbledore.

"Will Daddy be the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor?" Anita asked, winking at Severus.

"No, Severus is an indispensable potion professor. I already have an idea about the candidate for the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. I think you will like him." Dumbledore said to Anita slightly mysteriously , "Okay, you really should go to bed."

Anita nodded in agreement, then looked back at Severus.Severus said to Anita, "I saw Draco asleep behind the stone statue opposite the entrance to the principal's office when I came. Take Draco back when you go back. Defense against the Dark Arts class will be there tomorrow." Come to my office."

Anita nodded, said good night to Dumbledore and Severus, then turned and walked out of the principal's office.

"Draco, wake up." Anita pushed Draco who was sleeping soundly behind the stone statue.

"Huh. Anita?" Draco rubbed his eyes, his face on the right side was left with a strange pattern because he slept on the stone statue, which made Draco's fair face a bit flirtatious, plus De Draco's blue-gray eyes looked a little confused because he just woke up, and Anita felt that Draco was so beautiful at this moment.

"Anita?" Draco called Anita suspiciously when he saw Anita staring at him in a daze.

"Ah, I'm so amazed by Draco." Anita praised, and then stretched out her hand to pull Draco up.

"Hmph." Draco glared at Anita weakly, his face stained a thin layer of red.

"Why are you sleeping here?" Anita asked strangely, and then suddenly realized something, "You came here with me? Oh my god, I didn't find out! Don't tell Lucius, I don't want to be retrained!"

"You tell me what you're doing in the headmaster's office tonight, and I won't tell Dad," Draco said.

"Draco, you have learned badly, you can even threaten."

"It's fine as long as it's easy to use, don't you think?"

"Tell me." Anita raised her hands in surrender, "I'm going to talk to the Sorting Hat."

"Go and chat with the Sorting Hat so late?" Draco expressed disbelief.

"The Sorting Hat doesn't need to sleep."

"But Professor Dumbledore wants it."

"I greeted Professor Dumbledore in advance. How about this, I will take you to a place on the weekend, and you will know that I have not lied to you."

"Where?"

"It's a secret, it's meaningless if you say it in advance." Anita said pretending to be mysterious.

"Ok."

"Draco, did you not fall for it when I said it was about girls?"

"Who would be fooled by such a clumsy lie?"

"Hey, you are lying, your ears are red. Oh, I see, you must have been fooled before, and you realized it later, right?"

"Hmph, no."

"Why are you upset if you're here to find the Sorting Hat?" Draco asked.

"Because this is my first night tour."

Only then did Draco realize that they were traveling at night, and that he had been following Anita before.

Just then, as if to prove to Anita and Draco that they were on a night tour, they heard a cat meow, and as soon as Anita and Draco turned around, they saw Mrs. Norris' bulbous eyes glowing in the darkness. Green light, she stared at Anita and Draco like an apex predator watches its prey.

Anita and Draco looked at each other, then turned and ran away tacitly.

Anita and Draco ran ahead, and Mrs. Norris followed quietly. Only the barking it made from time to time proved that it had been following them closely, and from time to time it reported to Filch.

"This damn cat, I really want to petrify it all." Draco complained.

"No, hurting this cat Filch will kill you." Anita stopped.

"I'm just saying, don't you dare to hurt Mrs. Norris without seeing the Weasley twins?"

"Run this way!" Anita pulled Draco up the stairs, and then asked Hogwarts to move the stairs, watching Mrs. Norris meowing at the stairs but there was nothing she could do about them , Anita and Draco made faces at her triumphantly.

"Be careful, you two Slytherin bastards, I will definitely catch you." Filch's voice came from behind Mrs. Norris.

Anita and Draco shrank their necks when they heard Filch's voice, then smiled at each other, and fled quickly while Filch couldn't catch up with them.
