Chapter 978 Improvements to Horcruxes(1/2)
In the evening, Kyle left the Black family's private library, leaving Sirius, who was dazed and hesitant to speak.
The expression on Sirius's face had been very tangled throughout the afternoon, especially when Kyle was flipping through the dark magic books.
These books have been collected by the Black family for hundreds of years, and many of them are banned by the Ministry of Magic.
How can I put it, just one look at the cover of these books is enough to be thrown into Azkaban for two days.
Sirius never found time to deal with all of this, but unexpectedly, Kyle took them all away.
Before Kyle stepped out of the house, he hesitated countless times whether to take those books back.
Sirius did not doubt whether Kyle could make a Horcrux, because a few years ago, Kyle made a similar request and took the "Advanced Black Magic Revealed" from here.
To be honest, he would feel weird if Kyle couldn't make a Horcrux, but what he was afraid of was that Kyle actually made a Horcrux.
Before this, Sirius had always thought that Kyle was joking when he said he wanted to make a Horcrux. After all, when he first came to read "Advanced Dark Arts Revealed", Dumbledore was still alive.
But now it seems that this is not a joke.
But for some unknown reason, whenever the words came to his lips, Sirius couldn't say them.
Maybe...Kyle was just joking.
He comforted himself in his heart.
"Hey, Kyle." Fred rolled over and jumped down the stairs as he passed the foyer.
"We have been looking for you. Where were you and Sirius just now?"
"The Black family's private library." Kyle showed the book he was holding.
"You are indeed a professor at Hogwarts. You still insist on reading even during the holidays." George said in a long voice, "Aren't you really Percy using Polyjuice Potion to pretend to be?"
"I don't think Percy would read this kind of book." Kyle picked up the top book and shook it towards them.
On the cover is the title of the book written in exaggerated cursive script.
"Put Your Soul into the Crucible"
The cover is very old, but the dark red cursive characters have not faded at all, and there is no dust at all. It seems that something is constantly wandering over every word, strangely attracting everyone's attention.
George was the closest. When he saw the book, he suddenly felt a little cold and shivered subconsciously.
It was summer, but he actually felt cold...
"What is this!"
"I guess it's banned books," Harry said.
At this time, he seemed to no longer be bothered about Snape's affairs, and walked downstairs with the two of them.
It was like he had hit his leg and was limping when he walked.
"I have seen this kind of special book in the restricted book section of the school library before." Harry said seriously: "In addition to the cover moving, there are also books entangled in chains, which are very dangerous at first glance.
"Some books even make a shrill scream like a mandrake when they are opened."
"But this isn't the restricted area of the library." Fred muttered, looking up at Kyle.
"Ah, I wanted to try to make a Horcrux, so I found some reference books."
"What?"
"You want to make a Horcrux?"
"You want to make a Horcrux!"
Like Sirius, when Kyle said this, everyone in the room showed an expression of shock and disbelief.
But the difference was that after the shock, Harry's face showed panic and fear, while Fred and George looked excited and excited.
"We're here to help too!"
"When will you start? Please tell us!"
Like two shooting stars, the two of them were close to Kyle in the blink of an eye, and even their words became much more polite.
"Let's talk about this..." Kyle waved his hand vaguely, "Didn't you just say that you have been looking for me all afternoon? Why are you so anxious about something?"
"It's nothing, that's not important." George still stared at Kyle without moving his eyes.
"This is not a good thing." Kyle subconsciously took a small step back.
"What's the matter? We haven't done the good thing yet." The two stepped forward and dragged Kyle out of the house.
It wasn't until the door opened and closed that Harry suddenly recovered from the shock and instinctively wanted to chase him out.
"Wait..." Sirius stretched out his hand to stop him.
"Horcrux...Sirius..." Harry said anxiously: "Dumbledore said that it is the most terrifying black magic, and Kyle cannot be allowed to..."
"Don't worry, Harry...don't worry, Kyle is different from Voldemort." Sirius said, holding his arm tightly with one hand.
After hearing what Sirius said, Harry gradually calmed down and turned to look at him.
"You know what?"
"Oh, I remembered that you have been together during this time."
"He didn't say anything to me." Sirius shrugged, "In fact, since I took him to the basement, my mood has been exactly the same as yours."
"Then why did you stop me just now..."
"Because of Fred and George." Sirius said softly: "If you still remember what they just said, you will find that Kyle has never been suspected from the beginning to the end, and from the beginning he did not believe that he made Horcruxes and his purpose.
Just like Voldemort."
Harry blinked and briefly recalled Fred and George's reactions just now.
Indeed, they were not panicked, but excited. They seemed to think that making Horcruxes was a very interesting thing, rather than studying some terrible black magic.
"This reminds me of Remus."
Sirius suddenly laughed, "Everyone has an instinctive fear and wariness of werewolves, but after we saw Remus's werewolf appearance for the first time, none of us backed down.
"I didn't, and neither did your father, nor did your mother after she found out about it. She even started to teach herself Wolfsbane potion the next day, and complained that Remus didn't tell her earlier."
Harry nodded in understanding, "You mean, we should trust Kyle like Fred and George?"
"Almost." Sirius waved his hand and poured himself a glass of whiskey.
"What I really mean is that we know Remus and we know that even if he is a werewolf, he will not hurt us.
"Just like the Weasley brothers know Kyle and know that he will not be the next Voldemort."
"Of course, your understanding is correct." He sat on the chair, raised his head and took a sip of whiskey, and murmured to himself: "I should be ashamed of my doubts."
Harry also felt a little ashamed.
He couldn't help but think to himself, if Kyle were replaced by Hermione or Ron, would he still be as nervous and scared as before?
Then Harry was surprised to find that the answer was no.
After experiencing so much together, he trusted Hermione and Ron almost as much as he trusted himself.
He believed that Hermione would not do this, and he also believed that Ron could not make a Horcrux at all.
After all, reading banned books also requires a knowledge base, and the requirements are higher than ordinary books. For example, only Hermione could understand the "Powerful Potion" that was secretly obtained from the forbidden book section of the school.
Neither he nor Ron could handle the materials well.
And the forbidden book that records the Horcrux must be more profound.
Harry shook his head.
Although he understood the truth, when he thought of the memories Dumbledore showed him before, he still couldn't convince himself as quickly as Sirius.
He could only try his best not to think about this.
Sirius also saw his current situation and took the initiative to say: "I remember that Snape, the snot-nosed guy, sent a photo album. Have you read it?"
"Not yet." Harry came to his senses and took out a well-kept photo album from his pocket.
The photo album is not thick, only about an inch. The cover is green, and the color is very similar to his eyes.
oh!
Harry frowned, why did he suddenly think of this.
"You didn't see it?" Sirius was a little surprised, "You should know, there may be a photo of your mother in it."
"I... know." Harry looked a little strange.
Snape sent a picture of her mother... she always felt like something was wrong.
"I'm worried that he has some purpose." Harry whispered: "Maybe he added some strange potion to the photo album. When I was in school, Snape said more than once that he would pour some pumpkin juice into me.
A little truth serum.”
"Don't worry, it's impossible for Dumbledore to agree." Sirius sneered, "But I don't think you need to have such worries now.
"Although I don't like that snot-nosed guy, I think what he said is true, and there's no need to do anything to the photo album."
"Open it, it's okay."
