Hogwarts becomes host

"How about I give you some Lihuo?" Elaine said with a smile. "It's good that I didn't hand you over to Dumbledore. What else do you want?"

"You once said you wanted to help me resurrect, didn't you?" Riddle's eyes flashed when he heard Dumbledore's name, "I don't think it would be a good thing for you to go to him. In front of him, all disguises will fail. Your ambitions and wishes will all be seen through, including what you talked to me about today."

"I did say that, but you didn't believe me at the time." Elaine said calmly, "I have plenty of ways to deal with Dumbledore, so you don't need to worry."

The two bargained for nearly half an hour. Riddle insisted on the inheritance and said that as a descendant of Slytherin, it was impossible to hand over the core of his family to outsiders for free, even if Elaine threatened him with Li Huo, it was useless.

After arguing with each other and constantly pushing back, the two finally reached a very reluctant consensus:

Riddle handed over the inheritance of Slytherin completely to Elaine, and Elaine must help Riddle resurrect, return the yew wand, and let Riddle and Harry Potter meet.

"I want to do it myself." When Harry Potter was mentioned, Riddle's expression immediately changed. "That's it. You arrange for me to meet with Potter, and then return the wand to me. I will duel him personally and kill him, and then I will leave the inheritance to you."

"I'm not your subordinate." Elaine sneered back. "We only have a transactional relationship. If you want me to seduce Potter first, that's fine, but you should pay a deposit. Show me the inheritance first."

"I can take you into Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets." Riddle turned around twice and said after thinking. "It just so happens that it's a very suitable place to kill Potter. You can lead people there─"

Elaine sneered at Riddle's words. She didn't know where the secret room was.

"You don't need to take me with you. There's no entrance to the girls' bathroom on the second floor." Elaine shook her head and said, "It's the place where you killed Maduo. I've been there a long time ago, but there's nothing in there."

"You've been in there?" A rare expression of surprise appeared on Riddle's face, "It's impossible."

"In the deepest room, there are many pillars with giant stone snakes coiled around them." Elaine shrugged and described. "There is a statue of an old Slytherin man between the pillars - I have told you before, I know many secrets, don't underestimate divination."

Looking at Riddle's stunned face, Elaine suddenly felt that being a magician was quite interesting.

"It seems you have more secrets than I thought, okay." Riddle stared at Elaine, "You only entered the hall in front of the Chamber of Secrets. The real Chamber of Secrets requires the blood of Slytherin to open. You think of a way Bring Harry Potter to the secret room, and after I kill him, I will open the secret room on the spot, and you can browse the contents inside."

"How do you prove that the real secret room exists?" Elaine asked.

"Now go to the Chamber of Secrets and I can open the door in front of you." Riddle replied, "Anyway, everything inside is sealed by magic. You need to have the direct blood of Slytherin or a student of Slytherin House to access it. , you have to rely on me to get what’s inside.”

"I know you are a descendant of Slytherin, but the problem is that you are now a book." Elaine said funny. "As a soul fragment, how do you pass the magic blockade?"

"Aren't you going to provide me with your body?"

"Your body has been destroyed long ago, and you have no descendants. It is impossible for me to find another descendant of Slytherin. I can only use the body of a random student to possess you. That's okay."

"Stupid, the sealing magic inside detects soul and magic power. A wizard who inherits special bloodline magic has different magic power from ordinary wizards." Riddle said disdainfully, "Even if the body is reshaped, as long as the spirit is immortal, Just pass the magic test."

"But you are not the real main soul, just a soul fragment." Elaine questioned.

"Even so, I'm still me," Riddle said. "Your understanding of the soul is really superficial. The soul is the wizard's self. Even if part of it is separated, its essence will not change."

"I just entered the second grade." Elaine replied lightly, "And, thanks to your men, I was an unconscious useless person until I was eight years old."

"Okay, I'm very sorry." Riddle sighed, making a look of regret that made Elaine want to hit him. "Your abilities and the attitude you show make it hard for me to imagine that you are just a twelve-year-old child."

"Don't worry about that." Elaine shook her head and said. She was not happy at all being praised by Riddle. She just felt goosebumps. This person wouldn't want to regard herself as a physical candidate. "Tell me something about Horcruxes and souls. "

"Okay, what do you want to hear?" Riddle said simply. It seemed that he had understood his situation. "Steps to making a Horcrux and ways to split the soul"

"No need, I'm not you." Elaine looked at him with disgust, "I want to know how to destroy the Horcrux."

"Don't you already know this?" Riddle's face twitched slightly, but he still spoke. "Fire, Avada Kedavra, any spell or magic item with powerful destructive power will do."

"What about the soul of the Horcrux? After a wizard makes a Horcrux, if someone attacks the wizard's body with Avada Kedavra, what will happen to his soul? Why won't he die?"

"You are testing me. You should have known this a long time ago. As long as there is still a small part of the soul properly protected by the Horcrux, the wizard will not die, because part of him is still alive in the world──"

"Then why can the soul fragments of Horcrux be destroyed first?" Elaine asked. "How is the soul of the Horcrux different from the soul of the main body? Didn't you say that even if it is split, it will still be you?"

"Oh, it seems like you have a good mind for being able to notice this." Riddle nodded and said approvingly. "No matter how profound the black magic protective measures are on Horcruxes, they are not as good as the wizard's body. Human beings are the most appropriate soul containers. The souls in Horcruxes are easily destroyed because they lack the protection of the body."

"Unfortunately, it is too risky to hand over part of your soul to something that can think and act independently. Moreover, the human body itself will reject the soul of outsiders. You are still standing well now, probably because of the same bloodline. "Riddle glanced at Elaine again.

"How should we deal with the soul that has lost its body but is immortal because of the Horcrux?" Elaine frowned and asked. "What if it never had a body?"

"The soul without the protection of the body is very fragile. Even if the ordinary wind blows gently, it will feel the pain like a knife. It is impossible for him to maintain the soul state all the time. It is definitely torture." Riddle seemed to have noticed something, in detail explained to Elaine. "Furthermore, an incomplete soul cannot choose to become a ghost, nor can it commit suicide. It can only wander around until someone helps resurrect it or occupy a new body, so you don't have to worry about it not having a physical body at all."
