Chapter 562: The Other Uses of a Horcrux
Slytherin's Pendant Box?
Is this a coincidence... I have it right here, but it's currently a Horcrux, so it's not usable yet.
"You found it?" Lady Ravenclaw asked, her tone slightly surprised.
"Actually, I also found Hufflepuff's Cup and Gryffindor's Sword. They're both in the Headmaster's Office at Hogwarts, and I can borrow them if needed," Kyle added, feeling a bit embarrassed.
"No need, the pendant box is enough," Lady Ravenclaw said.
To be honest, she never expected that the most representative items of the four founders would be in the hands of one person.
Kyle, and the one who created the Horcruxes.
Although his actions were infuriating, one had to admit that he was indeed very capable.
"Lady Ravenclaw... I have another question," Kyle hesitated and continued, "After the Vanishing Charm is successful, the pendant box will definitely fall, won't it? Then, won't I be unable to transform back forever?"
As mentioned earlier, to cast the Vanishing Charm on oneself, one must transfer the magic within the transformed body. Without magic, one would definitely be unable to cast the counter-charm, right?"
"You don't need to worry about that."
Lady Ravenclaw spoke in a calm tone and softly recited the words of the Vanishing Charm.
Although it was the same spell, Kyle still felt the differences within it.
Immediately, a strange image appeared before his eyes, as if the spell had been broken down into various runic formulas.
These runes were interconnected, forming a larger symbol.
"Although there are some differences, it is essentially a standard Transfiguration Spell."
Lady Ravenclaw continued, "I have seen Salazar's pendant box. The magic stored within it will not affect the Transfiguration Charm. As long as you carry it with you, you can completely treat it as a piece of clothing and transform together.
"The only thing you need to pay attention to is that you must be proficient in using the Silencing Charm and Wandless Magic because after the transformation, you will be unable to use a wand or make any sounds.
"I believe these shouldn't be a problem for you."
Kyle thought for a moment and said, "The Silencing Charm is no problem. As for Wandless Magic, I may not be very proficient, but I can manage it."
"Not proficient?" Lady Ravenclaw's voice had a hint of surprise.
Apparently, in her opinion, it was unbelievable that someone Kyle's age was not proficient in using the Silencing Charm and Wandless Magic.
"In fact, we only learn the Silencing Charm in our sixth year," Kyle explained. "As for Wandless Magic, there are no requirements. Even the strictest of the Ultimate Wizard Exam won't have related questions."
Lady Ravenclaw fell silent for a moment, then whispered, "It seems you don't have to face the danger that could come at any time. That's good..."
"Lady Ravenclaw... Are you saying that the magical world a thousand years ago was very dangerous?" Kyle asked curiously.
"It's hard for me to answer that question," Lady Ravenclaw said. "What I saw and what ordinary wizards experienced were too different. But it was definitely not as safe as it is now."
Kyle nodded.
A thousand years ago... According to what he could find in the library, the wizards of that era indeed had a hard time.
At this moment, Kyle suddenly thought of something and spoke again.
"Lady Ravenclaw, may I ask another question?
In his mind, there was no response from Ravenclaw, neither an agreement nor a refusal. But Kyle felt as if she was standing right in front of him, staring intently.
"I just have an idea," Kyle said, "but I'm not sure if it's feasible, so I wanted to confirm it."
"Go ahead and tell me," Ravenclaw finally responded.
"Yes, about the Horcrux..." Kyle said cautiously.
"Do you also want immortality?" Ravenclaw's voice carried a hint of disappointment, but it quickly faded, "If that's the case, I suggest using the Philosopher's Stone. For wizards, a complete soul is very important.
If you've read enough books, you'll find that the despicable Herpo the Foul vanished after creating the first Horcrux.
He regretted it and did many things, hoping to reunite his fragmented soul."
"No, that's not what I meant," Kyle shook his head, "I'm saying, if someone's soul is torn apart and they become crazy, can the Horcrux be used to restore their sanity?"
"Soul torn apart?"
Read the correct version at 69shu.com! 6=9+shu_bar.
"It's the Cruciatus Curse, an extremely evil spell that can tear a soul apart," Kyle explained, "I have a friend whose parents were tortured by the Cruciatus Curse, and their souls were shattered into many pieces.
"The healers at St. Mungo's said that these soul fragments influence each other, causing them to be incoherent and unable to communicate normally.
"So, I had this idea—to separate the soul fragments using Horcruxes. Wouldn't they be cured then?"
Ravenclaw fell silent again, and after a long while, she said, "I'm afraid Herpo the Foul would never have imagined that the Horcrux he invented could one day be used to save people."
"So, this method works, right?" Kyle asked excitedly.
"No, it's not possible," Ravenclaw poured cold water on his excitement.
"To complete a Horcrux, you need to use strong evil thoughts to push the soul fragments out of the body. How can someone incapable of normal communication generate enough evil to push out their soul fragments?"
"So, now that you know this, what do you plan to do next, or what are your thoughts on this?" Ravenclaw's tone shifted, and she asked with interest, like a professor questioning a student.
"Hmm... Can the body be used as a Horcrux?" Kyle furrowed his brows in thought, "If the soul can't be pushed out, then look nearby... hair, eyebrows, a certain bone, these can all become Horcruxes."
"That's a good idea and completely correct," Ravenclaw said, "The only problem is, if the soul fragments can't be separated from the body, then the Horcrux can no longer grant immortality."
"That's fine," Kyle waved his hand, "As long as it can restore sanity, that's enough. If it can truly grant immortality, it might cause quite a stir, and the person themselves might not even want it."
"That's true, but have you considered a simpler method... treating the soul fragments themselves as Horcruxes."
"Can that work?" Kyle asked in surprise.
"Just make a slight change in the process," Ravenclaw said, "I can teach you."
