Hogwarts: Don't call me the Staff Maker

Chapter 562 Soul Fragments

Chapter 562 Soul Fragments

Xilun's heart skipped a beat, and he froze on the spot.

However, Dumbledore seemed completely oblivious to this and continued talking to himself.

"Garrick told me that it was the wand you made, it just looks a bit strange."

"I must say, Siron, you are the most unique wand maker I have ever seen. At least I have never seen anyone else make such a distinctive wand."

"6

"It's mostly a coincidence," Celen said, while trying to calm himself down.

"Will this wand be sold in stores later?" Dumbledore asked.

"I'm afraid that won't work." Xilun shook his head. "Because of the special nature of the materials used, I can only make this one."

""

"That's such a shame." Dumbledore sighed, a look of disappointment on his face. "Actually, I've always wanted to buy one. It reminds me of the first parrot I ever had, a gift from my sister when I started school."

Dumbledore tilted his head back, seemingly lost in some kind of memory.

Sensing something was off, Celen spoke up and asked, "Professor, what happened to that parrot afterward?"

"It flew away," Dumbledore said softly. "When it was in its second year, it forgot to close the window one day when it went out, and when it came back, it had opened its cage and flown away."

"Very clever, isn't it?" Dumbledore asked softly.

Xilun didn't know what to say, so he could only nod.

"May I take a closer look?" Dumbledore suddenly asked.

Xilun paused for a moment, but after hesitating for a second, he took out the black diary.

As soon as I let go, it seemed to come alive and floated to Xilun's shoulder.

However, Dumbledore simply reached out and changed the trajectory of the Horcrux, then took it in his hand.

"A very obvious rejection." Dumbledore raised an eyebrow. "As a wand, it's clearly a bit too picky, isn't it? Of course, many Ollivander wands are like that, and the one I'm using right now is the same."

Siron's expression shifted slightly. He didn't know whether Dumbledore was referring to the wand he used when he was in school or the legendary old wand.

The Elder Wand only serves the most powerful wizards; others simply cannot use it.

Dumbledore didn't explain any of this; he stroked the cover of the diary and opened it.

There should have been a name written there: TM Riddle.

"But after Silen made it into a wand," these words vanished along with a part of Riddle's soul.

Nevertheless, Dumbledore still sensed a familiar feeling in the diary.

"Someone told me that another reason Tom was so eager to kill you was this diary."

"This was originally something he was supposed to entrust to Malfoy for safekeeping, but it ended up in your hands, and Lucius Malfoy was punished most severely for it."

Xilun did not speak.

"It seems you also know its secret, don't you?" Dumbledore asked.

"Yes, Professor," Siren didn't deny it, but said seriously, "but I can assure you, it's now a special wand," and has nothing to do with the previous one.

"I completely believe that." Dumbledore released his grip, and the Horcrux immediately flew back to Siron's side with a whoosh.

This surprised Dumbledore even more. Or rather, he had been too shocked to speak ever since he touched the Horcrux.

He discovered that the diary, which was a Horcrux, showed no signs of damage, but the fragments of Voldemort's soul inside had disappeared.

But that's impossible. The purpose of a Horcrux is to protect the soul inside. Only by completely destroying the Horcrux can you kill the soul inside at the same time.

This has remained unchanged from over a thousand years ago to the present.

Seeing that Dumbledore remained silent, Sirius became even more nervous, his mind racing as he tried to figure out how to explain the origin of the diary.

"Don't be nervous, Siren." Dumbledore seemed to see through Siren's thoughts and shook his head, saying, "I won't ask you any questions you don't want to answer. Everyone has their own secrets, including me."

"Actually, I was just trying to confirm a suspicion in my mind, and it seems I was right."

"What guess?"

"A Horcrux," Dumbledore said directly. "Knowing Tom as I do, this is the only thing that can make him nervous."

"Also, I think you should remember that I said before that the reason Tom wanted to kill you was because you had the ability to kill him completely, right?"

Xilun nodded.

"What I meant was that your unicorn magic could harm his remaining spirit, and once the spirit was destroyed, the Horcrux would lose its function."

"But I just realized that you also have the function of destroying Horcruxes—"

At this point, Dumbledore paused suddenly, because he wasn't sure if the Horcrux had really been destroyed.

At the same time, a somewhat absurd thought popped into his mind.

"I have one more question, but of course, as we agreed before, you don't have to answer it."

Dumbledore looked up and asked softly, "Making a wand requires two parts. If this diary is the wand body, then the core you used is—"

"Hmm—it's the thing that used to live inside," Xilun said softly.

But to Dumbledore, those words were like a thunderbolt, leaving him frozen in place.

Siren turned Voldemort's soul into the core of his staff.

Although he had heard Garrick boast more than once about how amazing his talent for making wands in Siren was, Dumbledore still found it hard to believe at this moment.

This not only exceeded his understanding of wand science, but also his understanding of magic itself.

The last time he felt this way was decades ago, when he first learned of the talent of the Transfiguration Magus. At that time, he was still teaching Transfiguration, and it was also the first time he questioned his position.

"I wonder, can any soul be made into a wand core?" Dumbledore asked.

"Of course not," Siron blurted out. "For me, using wizards' hair to make wand cores is already the limit."

"Then this—" Dumbledore looked at the diary on Sirius's shoulder with a puzzled expression.

"Actually, I'm not quite sure either," Xilun shrugged and said, "but if I had to say, it might be because the soul inside isn't complete."

"A soul fragment and a soul are two completely different things, like a steak and a cow. Besides, this soul fragment was cut off by Voldemort himself, so it might cause some changes that we don't know about."
