Witcher at Hogwarts

Chapter 76 Horcrux

Under Moody's command, the Aurors carried Rita Skeeter away from the crime scene regardless of her protests.

With Dumbledore's assurance, Moody finally let go of some of his wariness towards Ethan and began to direct his Aurors to carry out the aftermath. They put the complete body into a body bag and pieced together the broken body.

Rufus Scrimgeour covered his forehead and looked at the chaotic scene in front of him. As the director of the Auror Office of the Ministry of Magic, he really didn't know how to submit a report on this incident to the higher authorities.

"These damn bastards!" Scrimgeour cursed these dark wizards again and again in his heart. Now he still had to solve this huge trouble.

The Aurors finally finished sorting out the scene, and there were actually twenty-six corpses put together. This made Scrimgeour even more numb. It was already difficult to suppress such a big thing.

Tonks wanted to say something to Ethan, but Moody kept urging her to go over and help. Tonks had to stick out her tongue at Ethan, said goodbye, and went to work with the other Aurors. .

"So Ethan, what's going on here?" Dumbledore looked at Ethan calmly with his blue eyes.

Ethan then explained to Dumbledore everything that happened that night, from saving Tonks to being cornered in the small building, he told Dumbledore everything one by one.

After hearing about the Church of the Mirror, Dumbledore fell into a brief thought, but he was soon freed from his thoughts. Dumbledore no longer had any extra energy to care about this matter. He needed to focus all his energy on dealing with Voldemort. on things.

As for other dark wizard forces, it is better to leave them to the younger generation.

"Ethan, can we take a moment to talk?" Dumbledore turned sideways and gestured to Ethan.

Ethan nodded, and then he and Dumbledore walked to the less crowded side of the ruins of the small building.

Dumbledore's prestige in the magical world is very high. After understanding what Dumbledore meant, the Aurors around Dumbledore and Ethan consciously evacuated this small area, leaving Dumbledore and Ethan with A quiet and uninhabited area.

"Ethan, I have been investigating Tom's diary during this period, and I now have a rough inference." Dumbledore crossed his hands, with some melancholy and anxiety in his eyes.

"That diary definitely stores more than just Tom's memory. If it were just a memory, he would not have his own actions and thoughts."

Dumbledore took out Voldemort's diary. It had been destroyed. There was a huge hole that penetrated the diary. It was not known what method Dumbledore used to destroy it.

"If it is just a memory, how can it bewitch Ginny or even control her to do those things?" Dumbledore seemed to want to say something, but he hesitated obviously, but finally said, "Then There is something far more sinister in the diary. A piece of soul."

"I am almost convinced that the diary is a Horcrux." Dumbledore spat out these words softly, and at the same time, Dumbledore looked older.

Even though he already knew about the Horcrux, Ethan still cooperated with a shocked and confused expression.

"Horcruxes are very evil magic, very evil." Dumbledore murmured.

"A Horcrux is an object that contains part of a person's soul...that is, Tom split his soul and hid part of it in an object outside of his body. That way, even if his body was attacked or destroyed, He cannot die, because there is still a part of his soul left in the world, unharmed.”

"I think that's why Tom can remain immortal." A look of pain appeared on Dumbledore's face, but it quickly disappeared.

"But now that you've destroyed his Horcrux, the trouble has been solved, hasn't it?" Ethan decided to continue pretending to be stupid to the end.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple Ethan, I have a hunch." Dumbledore repeatedly rubbed the black cover of the diary with his fingers, "After arranging Harry's affairs, I may have to leave school temporarily for a while. I want to get some confirmation." Well, Professor McGonagall will be in charge of the school instead of me during this period."

"Ethan, I hope you can help Professor McGonagall as much as possible." Dumbledore said to Ethan sincerely.

"I will do it" was not difficult, so Ethan decisively agreed to Dumbledore.

"Thank you, Ethan." A rare smile appeared on Dumbledore's face.

"Are you planning to go back to Hogwarts now? I can take you back." Dumbledore invited.

Ethan also planned to go back. There was no point in staying at the crime scene. It was better to leave now to avoid being arrested by Moody for questioning later.

Just as they were about to use Dumbledore's Apparition to return to Hogwarts, Tonks hurriedly waved her hand to signal them to slow down and rushed towards them.

Seeing this scene, Dumbledore showed a smile on his face and indicated that Ethan could go about his own business first, and he could wait for Ethan for a while.

"I heard Scrimgeour's conversation. You might be able to get a second-level medal of the Order of Merlin!" Tonks came to announce the good news. She rushed to Ethan excitedly and said, even her hair turned violet.

"That's great, thank you so much!" Although Ethan had no interest in the second-level medal of Sir Merlin, he couldn't bear to displease Tonks, so he still pretended to be very happy.

"It's nothing." Hearing Ethan's thanks, Tonks' face suddenly turned a little red, "By the way, I want to leave you my contact address so that we can communicate in time about the medal." Tonks' Her face became even redder again, and the tips of her hair were stained with some red.

Tonks hurriedly searched all over her body, found a pen and paper, quickly wrote an address on the paper and handed it to Ethan, "You can send the letter here, I will see it, I don't need your address. Yes, I know where to send it."

Tonks winked at Ethan mischievously and was about to go back to her work. Just now, Moody called her again.

After running for a few steps, Tonks seemed to have thought of something again, and then came over and whispered to Ethan: "By the way, don't mention Mundungus's affairs to other people. He has helped us a lot, I promise." Let him go this time."

After finishing her instructions, Tonks ran in the direction of Moody again, waving goodbye to Ethan before leaving.

Dumbledore stood in the distance and watched the exchange between Tonks and Ethan with a smile. When he saw Ethan coming back, Dumbledore winked at Ethan teasingly, "It's wonderful to be young, isn't it? "Dumbledore made a rare joke.

After hearing Dumbledore's words, Ethan curled his lips and did not answer.

"Tonks is indeed a good child. I watched her grow up." Dumbledore introduced Tonks to Ethan and raised his arm for Ethan to hold.

As soon as Ethan held Dumbledore's arm, their figures quickly disappeared. With a crackling sound, Ethan and Dumbledore disappeared into Knockturn Alley.
