Chapter 22 The Missing Locket

Harry had a great winter break, one of the top holidays he's ever had.If it wasn't for one last thing, he'd probably be able to keep up this happy mood all the way to Hogwarts.

This last thing is the locket.The locket that Regulus Black exchanged for his life was solemnly put away by Kreacher as a relic because it could not be destroyed.Harry originally wanted to get it first, but he was a little worried about being discovered, and considering Voldemort's current state, he decided to do it the day before he left 12 Grimmauld Place.As a result, on that day, he secretly used the invisibility spell and the silence spell to get out, only to find that the locket was gone.

Voldemort was obviously the only one who did such a thing at this time.Harry sneaked back into the room as fast as he could, and then, against Voldemort's objections, turned him over from start to finish.Of course, he didn't find the locket anywhere in the diary.

"Where did you hide it?" Harry asked suspiciously.Then he realized how stupid he was asking this question - with the diary's consistent characteristics, even people can be sucked in, what is a locket?But he originally thought it was a transformed diary, not the original diary that was a Horcrux?

Voldemort seemed to have fallen asleep just now, and there was obvious sleepiness in his voice. "You can go a little slower," he said lazily. "I did it the first day." He slipped out on Harry's first night after he arrived, and fooled a House-elves were too easy for him.And hadn't the Savior forgotten that a wizard can't do a lot without a wand, but not everything—oh, no, he can't do anything with the Savior, so he's paralyzed.

"It seems that I underestimated you, didn't I?" It took Harry a long time to say such a sentence.He actually expected Voldemort to take the locket Horcrux before him, but now that it really happened, he couldn't tell whether he should be happy or disappointed with himself.

To be honest, Harry never wanted to take the initiative to kill a person. He wanted to kill Voldemort before because Voldemort chose him as his opponent first, and he had to fight back; If he chooses to go back to reality among the possibilities given to him by the god of death, it is estimated that it is impossible to really give Avada Kedavra to Voldemort. Mistakes ever made, instead of killing him.So his most hated savior nickname is probably true?While he still doesn't feel like he's the savior, he does hope for a better future.

Voldemort didn't receive his thoughts now, but this didn't affect him seeing why Harry's silence was for.After all, based on Harry's usual thoughts, he could deduce what he was thinking now.But now he didn't want to show how much he expected this, but just changed the subject and said, "Is there anything else?" Then he lay back on his bedside table, as usual.

Harry really wanted to ask Voldemort what he was going to do with the locket back, but if Voldemort wanted to, he'd just said it; and if Voldemort didn't want to, no one had yet forced him to.So he just opened his mouth, then closed it again, finally climbed into bed, tossed and turned for a long time before falling asleep.On the one hand, he felt that Voldemort should not be so stupid as to repeat the same mistakes; on the other hand, believing a Dark Lord's words was tantamount to asking for death.So he felt that his biggest problem was not knowing what Voldemort's goal was.The other party hid it so well that he couldn't find any clues now.

Harry, who was thinking about this in his dreams, naturally couldn't sleep well.He tossed and turned involuntarily on the bed, completely unaware that Voldemort, who had been lying down just now, was now looking at him soberly.

Although Harry has experienced many things, compared to Voldemort, he is still too young. He is so young that Voldemort can know what he wants to do without using Remembrance.In all sincerity, he felt beyond contempt for Harry's thoughts; for in his heart, only he was ever important.He routinely sneered at Harry's idea of ​​wanting him to know he was wrong and change it.He cannot understand the mind of the Savior, just as the Savior cannot guess his goal.

But beyond that, Voldemort did realize that he had done something wrong.The Horcruxes did not bring the eternal life he expected, but were destroyed one by one; the instability of the soul brought the weakness of the body and magic power at the same time, and he had to face this point; the last and most direct, of course, After passing out in the Forbidden Forest, even if he didn't want to admit it, a cold voice kept ringing in his heart-you will fail, you will be completely killed.This is why he agreed to death, because he was subconsciously avoiding the failure that may have already arrived.

This should be regarded as his most annoying weakness and avoidance?Voldemort thought uncertainly.He is generally reluctant to use such words to describe himself, but he has always been a person who is afraid of death, undeniably, otherwise he would not have made so many Horcruxes.So in comparison, he really couldn't understand why Harry could put other people's lives before his own, and even...

Voldemort stopped himself from thinking further.Harry didn't know exactly what happened that night, but he remembered it clearly.He strongly asked to go to the library before, just to read those books about Horcruxes—well, he admitted that when he did it, he didn’t consider that he needed to take it back, so he didn’t know at all—and He used to ignore house-elf magic as much.Reclaiming Horcruxes is the same painful process as making Horcruxes, but the latter is the pain of others, and the former is the pain of oneself-everyone has to pay the price for what they have done, right?

Voldemort was never one to show his weakness in front of others, so he chose to do it while Harry was asleep.If he wasn't a diary, maybe the movement would have irritated Harry—he was never so grateful that he was a diary, that he wouldn't bleed or leave any abnormal marks, as long as he was himself Grit your teeth and press on.It's a pity that the bedside table is really not a good place for people to roll around at ease, and he accidentally dropped it.For a moment he thought it was going to be terrible, that the landing would have woken Harry up (he didn't want to be seen writhing stupidly in pain); but he was in pain, because he fell onto the bed.

No one could have guessed what happened next.Just as he was struggling to go back, he accidentally touched an arm.And that arm seemed to have formed a conditioned reflex for the diary, grabbed it directly, stuffed it into his arms, and finally rolled into the bed.

Voldemort dared to swear to that evil god of death, he really didn't have the strength to break free at that time.Harry pressed him tightly in his dream (he didn't know how he could be so strong), not letting him move.When he finally collapsed, he didn't know when he fell asleep or passed out.Anyway, when I opened my eyes again, it was already morning.

It was then that Voldemort began to formally re-examine his relationship with the Saviour.It was just that one prophecy, otherwise they would have nothing to do with each other.He himself chose to believe that prophecy, choosing a sworn enemy for himself.Therefore, his destined opponent may not be the savior, but himself, a harsh, ignorant, arrogant, and really afraid of death.
