Ravenclaw continued, "I have seen Salazar's locket. The magic stored in it will not affect the Transfiguration Spell. As long as you carry it with you, you can completely treat it as something like clothing and complete the transformation together.
"The only thing you need to pay attention to is that you must be able to skillfully use silent spells and wandless spells, because after completing the transformation, you will not be able to use a wand or make any sound.
"I think these shouldn't be difficult for you."
Kyle thought for a moment and said, "Silent spells are no problem. I may not be proficient in wandless spellcasting, but I can do it barely."
"Unskilled?" There was a slight fluctuation in Ravenclaw's voice.
It seemed incredible to her that Kyle was not able to skillfully use silent spells and wandless spells at his age.
"In fact, we will learn silent spells only in the sixth grade." Kyle explained: "As for wandless spellcasting, there is no requirement at all. Even the most rigorous ultimate wizard exam will not have any questions related to it."
Ravenclaw was silent for a moment, then said softly: "It seems that you don't need to face the danger that may come at any time. This is good..."
"Ms. Ravenclaw...you, I mean, was the wizarding world very dangerous a thousand years ago?" Kyle asked curiously.
"It's difficult for me to answer this question for you." Ravenclaw said, "What I saw was very different from what ordinary wizards experience... but it is definitely not as safe as it is now."
Kyle nodded.
A thousand years ago... According to the records found in the library, wizards of that era did not have an easy life.
At this moment, Kyle suddenly thought of something and spoke again.
"Ms. Ravenclaw, can I ask you one more question?"
There was no voice in his mind. Ravenclaw neither agreed nor refused, but Kyle had a feeling that she was standing in front of him, staring at him.
“I just had an idea,” Kyle said, “but I didn’t know if it would work, so I wanted to confirm it.”
"Then tell me." Ravenclaw finally responded.
"Yes, about the Horcrux..." Kyle said cautiously.
"Do you also want eternal life?" There was a hint of disappointment in Ravenclaw's voice, but it was fleeting. "If that's the case, I suggest you use the Philosopher's Stone. For wizards, a complete soul is very important.
If you read enough of the books, you'll find that the dastardly Hercule disappeared after creating the first Horcrux.
He repented and did many things in the hope of uniting his divided soul.”
"No, that's not what I meant." Kyle shook his head. "I meant, if a person becomes insane because his soul is torn apart, can a Horcrux bring him back to consciousness?"
"Soul torn apart?"
"It's the Cruciatus Curse, an extremely evil spell that can affect the soul." Kyle said, "I have a friend whose parents were tortured by the Cruciatus Curse and their souls were torn into pieces.
"The healers at St. Mungo's said that the soul fragments were affecting each other, causing them to become delirious and unable to communicate normally with others.
"So I had this idea. If I use Horcruxes to separate the soul fragments, will they be able to recover?"
Ravenclaw fell silent again, and after a long while he said, "I'm afraid that despicable Herpo could never have imagined that the spell he invented could be used to save people one day."
"So this method works, right?" Kyle asked excitedly.
"No, I can't." Ravenclaw poured a basin of cold water on him.
"In order to complete the Horcrux, you need to use strong evil thoughts to push the soul fragments out of the body. How can a person who can't even communicate normally produce evil enough to push the soul?"
"So, after knowing this, what are you going to do next, or what ideas do you have?" Ravenclaw changed his tone and asked with interest, like a professor asking a student a question.
"Hmm... can I use my body as a Horcrux?" Kyle frowned slightly and said thoughtfully.
"If you can't push the soul out, then look for it nearby... hair, eyebrows, a piece of bone, these can all become Horcruxes."
"That's a good idea, and absolutely correct," said Ravenclaw. "The only problem is that if the soul fragment cannot leave the body, the Horcrux will no longer be able to give people immortality."
"It doesn't matter." Kyle waved his hand and said, "As long as it can make people wake up, it's enough. If they can really live forever, it will cause a lot of trouble... and they themselves probably won't want it."
"That's right, but have you ever thought of a simpler method...using the soul fragment itself as a Horcrux."
"Is this possible?" Kyle asked in surprise.
"It only takes a slight change in the process," said Ravenclaw. "I can teach you."

Chapter 563 Misleading people
That idiot Voldemort really didn't tell the truth.
On the last day of the Easter holiday, Kyle walked out of the room, cursing in his heart at a jerk who was misleading the students.
When Voldemort taught him about Horcruxes, he said it in such a nice way. He insisted on teaching him even things that Dumbledore had forbidden... It was all lies and a scam.
How to say it, the general process is correct, the problem lies in some inconspicuous details in the middle. Once you follow the process he gave, the separated soul fragments will be evaporated instantly like snowflakes falling in flames.
Just like Tom Riddle in the diary, Voldemort seemed to like using this method to mislead others and show off his wisdom.
Fortunately, he was careful and didn't fall for it.
Kyle originally wanted to borrow some books from Sirius after the end of the school year. Number 12 Kogmaw Square, as the ancestral home of the Black family, houses a large collection of books, including many books related to the dark arts.
Including the book "Advanced Dark Arts Revealed" that Dumbledore took from the library, which was also in Sirius's home.
But now there is no need to go through so much trouble.
Kyle took off the crown and put it back on Helena's head.
"My mother said that she would leave the crown to you, but you have to wait until you return to school..." Helena said softly, "She left a portrait in school that can replace the crown to carry her memory."
"That doesn't matter. You can chat about the past..." Kyle shook his head.
This time Kyle was not being polite, he was speaking the truth.
The effect of the crown is too strong. With his current level of brain occlumency, he will not wear it for the time being unless it is necessary.
"Oh, and my mother also said that only after you get the locket, she can find a way to use it to store magic."
"I'm afraid we'll have to wait for a while..." Kyle said.
At this moment, Nicolas Flamel, who had disappeared for two weeks, also came out.
"It seems like you guys had a good chat."
Judging from his fast movements, this Nico is also "fake".
"Nicol, can I take the crown?" Kyle asked.
"Do I even need to ask that?" Nico said with a smile, "The crown originally belonged to you. Of course you can take it away, but you must remember what I said before, Kyle. Don't become overly dependent on it."
"I'll remember that." Kyle nodded seriously. "How's the Philosopher's Stone?"
"The process went smoothly." Nico said happily, "Ms. Ravenclaw gave me some advice. According to the current situation, the materials can be put together in about half a year."
"It's going to take so long?" Kyle muttered.
"You don't think refining the Philosopher's Stone is a simple matter."
Nico couldn't help but complain: "This is not baking bread. You can put it in the oven for half an hour and take it out... When I made the first Philosopher's Stone, it took me nearly three years."
"No, that's not what I meant." Kyle explained the matter of the locket.
"Storing magic power?" Nico was a little surprised, "It's amazing, can the locket be used like this... Yes, maybe this is its real function.
"Well, if it's useful to you, then I'll think of a way... there's still some ancient potion left, and perhaps Albus can help, if you don't mind letting him know about the locket."
"That's okay," Kyle said.
Unlike the tiara, Dumbledore already knew about the existence of the locket, so naturally there was no question of whether he minded or not.
……
When Kyle returned to Hogwarts, it was already evening. From a distance, Kyle saw the return train just stopped at Hogsmeade Station.
The moment Kyle opened the box, Helena couldn't wait to float away.
Kyle wanted to tell her to be careful not to get close to Dumbledore, but before he could open his mouth, Helena had disappeared.
Forget it. Ravenclaw has said that they will leave the diadem to him anyway. Even if Dumbledore knows about it, it doesn’t matter. At most, he will just be curious and borrow it for a while.
Kyle waited for a while until the students who got off the train appeared in groups of three or four at the school gate, and then he walked in.
The auditorium was brightly lit as preparations were being made for the opening banquet.
Kyle walked in and saw at a glance that next to the long table of each college, there was an Easter egg as big as a fire dragon, filled with all kinds of candies, exploding fudge, chocolate toffee, ice mice, and cockroach piles. It felt like the Honeydukes had been emptied out.
"Kyle, this way." Kanna waved her hand. "How's your business going?"
"It's settled," Kyle said. "How about this Easter break."
"If I could, I really wish I didn't have this holiday." Connor sighed, "There's too much homework. I even went to Hogsmeade and bought ten rolls of parchment."
Even Kanna is complaining about the heavy homework, which is enough to explain the problem.
When the dinner started, Kyle felt that the surroundings were a little too quiet. He looked around and asked:
"Where are Mikel and Ryan? Why can't I see them?"
"They should still be in the library." Cedric said, "I can see them there every day during the holidays."
"This is really strange. Are they reading there?"
"No, they are probably doing their homework." Cedric shrugged. "Fifth grade is like this. There is too much homework to finish during the Easter holiday. When I came out of the library this afternoon, I saw them flipping through "Powerful Potions". They should be doing their homework for Potions class."
"You're doing your Potions homework now?" Kyle shook his head. "If it were me, I would definitely finish my Potions homework first, so as to avoid being caught by Professor Snape..."
Before he could finish his words, Kyle suddenly thought of something and froze in place, with the Yorkshire pudding in his hand hanging in the air.
"What's wrong with you?" Kanna asked puzzledly.
"I don't think... I haven't done my homework either." Kyle said dimly.
He listened to opera and studied runes at Nicolas Flamel's manor, and later learned about Horcruxes from Ravenclaw, and had long forgotten about his homework.
"What does that matter?" Connor said unconcernedly, "Didn't you say before that Professor Dumbledore exempted you from the homework?"
"It's just that most of the homework is exempted, but Potions is not one of them." Kyle glanced in the direction of the teacher's seat, "So, do we have a lot of Potions homework?"
"I don't know." Connor shook her head. "I haven't done my Potions homework for a long time."
