Chapter 547: Memory and past

The first memory Harry saw today with Professor Dumbledore was the memory of the house elf Hao Qi. Her owner was a very old and very rich witch named Hepzibah. Smith.
At that time, Voldemort, who was also called Tom Riddle, gained the trust of this eccentric but wealthy old lady by virtue of his face value and playful means. At one of their meetings, the old lady proudly showed Tom her treasures: the gold cup from Hufflepuff from her ancestor and the Slytherin pendant box. Then she saw the red light flashing in Tom's eyes, but she thought it was just light.
This was a fatal mistake. Dumbledore told Harry Hepziba. Smith died two days later. The Ministry of Magic determined that the house elf Hao Qi had made a mistake in her hostess ’evening drink of cocoa. Poison was put.
Harry firmly believed that this was not possible. He thought that Voldemort had tampered with the memory of the house elf Hao Qi, just like Morfin. Dumbledore accepted his inference. "When Hao Qi was convicted, Hepzibah's family discovered that her two most valuable treasures had been lost. At the same time, the clerk in Bojin-Bok, the young man who often visited Hepzibah and would please her like that , Has resigned and disappeared. "Dumbledore said:
"Harry, this time I need to remind you of some details in the story. Voldemort committed another murder. This time he didn't retaliate, but for profit. He wanted the poor old lady to give The two treasures he looked at. Just like he snatched other children from the orphanage, just like he stole his uncle's ring, this time he stole Hepzba's cup and pendant. "
"Even I have some evidence that Voldemort did not kill much in order to hide himself when he was not strong in the early days. The first killing was a murder of his father's family, and the second was the accidental killing of a monster with a basilisk. Hogwarts student. And what we are seeing now is his third murder, and the first murder after leaving school. "Dumbledore said slowly. "But," Harry said with a frown, "this is crazy ... taking such a big risk, killing an innocent person, losing his job, or even leaving in disbelief. Just for ..."
"Maybe." Dumbledore said, "but Voldemort thinks he is a descendant of one of the Hogwarts four giants and has a great pedigree. It is understandable that there is a special preference for the relics of these precious big four . "
Then Dumbledore shared his memory with Harry, which was the memory of Dumbledore's rejection of Voldemort, who had been disfigured by black magic, to teach at the school.
"Why?" After looking at the memory, Harry looked up at Dumbledore's face. "Why did he come back? Are you clear?"
"Basically figured it out, thanks to your friend Ryan, who found something from the school that confirmed my guess and gave me a new understanding of some of Voldemort ’s practices. I think you ’ve already learned from Ryan I learned what the Horcrux is there, but I still lack the most important piece of puzzle. When you get the memory of Professor Slughorn, I will tell you all these things, Harry. "Deng Brido said. After listening to Harry ’s narration, Ron looked at Ryan with shocked eyes: "I ca n’t believe it, buddy. You can really help Professor Dumbledore, but can you tell me your specific What helped the principal? "
When his words fell, Harry also turned his head to look at Ryan, and seemed interested in Ron's questions.
"No, I can't." Lane smiled and shook his head gently. "Since Principal Dumbledore does n’t want you to know, then it must make sense. The information I have now is not comprehensive. If I tell you what I know, I worry that the incomplete information may bring Give you a wrong signal. "
"Okay." Harry nodded helplessly. "I think I can only think of a way to get that vital memory from Slughorn as soon as possible."
"Well, then I can only wish you good luck." Ryan sent a heartfelt blessing to him, he did not know that the eight-eye giant spiders in the forbidden forest had been cleaned up, Harry should be this time. How to get that memory.
Over the next week, Harry racked his brains thinking about how to make Slughorn hand over real memories, and even from time to time to ask Ryan to discuss the way, but there weren't many good ideas.
However, in the subconscious mad prince's potion textbook, Harry found an interesting magic. This magic was recorded in the blank space of the textbook and a spell (Sectumsempra) was written, and there was "to the enemy" below. Three funny words.
He initially wanted to find a place to practice on his own, but after thinking of the words of Ryan and Hermione before, he picked up the textbook and looked for Ryan who was finishing his thesis and wanted him to identify the magic. The reason for not looking for Hermione is that if Hermione is found, she must be greeted by a lot of preaching.
"Sectumsempra?" Ryan followed Harry to the sofa where he sat and looked at the spell. He found that he couldn't remember what the spell was. After all, he mainly read translated novels and some transliterated spells in his last life. You can recognize it quickly, such as Arvada, but now he can't really remember what it is.
"Yes, wait for me." Ryan said as he took out a gold plate inlaid with a circle of mitral characters, then pulled out his wand and read the mantra in the middle of the gold plate ~ EbookFREE.me ~ In an instant, a crack appeared in the center of the gold plate, and at the same time, the two runes turned into blood red and black near the place where the gold plate held near Ryan's right hand.
"It turned out to be this!" Ryan finally figured out which one was the spell. This should be the very famous godless shadow in the legend. It is a pity that the Chinese version of the novel used a free translation on this mantra, so he didn't recognize it when he saw it.
"What?" Harry asked curiously, he didn't hear Ryan whispering softly.
"That's it. This magic is an offensive spell that can form a wound on the human body or object like a sword." Ryan put away the gold plate and said to Harry.
"It sounds okay, it's a spell like a cutting spell, right?" Harry said excitedly.
"Not just that." Ryan pointed out the key point. "The biggest difference between this magic and the cutting spell is that the part damaged by the spell cannot be regenerated by any means, but it can be healed by the anti-curse. It should be regarded as a more dangerous black magic. I personally recommend that you do not master the anti-curse. Before the spell, do n’t use this spell on your classmates.

Is this the way it is?
Harry showed a lingering expression. He remembered the hand Sirius lost forever. "Thank you so much, otherwise I will definitely make a big mistake."
"So as I said last time, whether it's a curse or a potion, we'd better make sure of their effectiveness before using it. Otherwise, it's just a trivial matter if we don't get the effect we want. The problem is really big when it comes to bad reaction. "Ryan urged seriously, and then returned to his original seat to write a few homework assignments with Hermione.
