Hogwarts' Golden Glory

Kane grew angrier the more he thought about it after returning to Slytherin!

That Voldemort is really asking for it!

Now they're all coming over to openly threaten him.

Kane thought for a moment and felt that he couldn't just let it go like this. He had never suffered such a loss in all these years!

At that moment, Kane wished he could run to the headmaster's office right then and there and report that Voldemort was currently possessing Quirrell.

Kane quickly calmed down; he knew that reporting it directly wouldn't work.

Because if you report Voldemort at this point, it would be a clear indication that you're going to oppose Voldemort in the future.

Given Voldemort's vengeful nature, once he is resurrected...

His own father, Lucius, would surely become the target of revenge.

However, Kane is definitely not one to suffer losses, and he already has a plan.

Destroy this Voldemort Horcrux that I just got my hands on!

Voldemort, as the master of the soul, will definitely not have an easy time!

The heart is not as good as action!

But a thorny problem lies ahead: how can this Horcrux be destroyed?

In the original story, Harry initially used the Basilisk's fangs to destroy the diary.

The basilisk's fangs can destroy Horcruxes because its toxicity has a powerful destructive effect on the dark magic within them.

The Gryffindor sword originally did not have the ability to destroy Horcruxes.

It was only because Harry's sword absorbed the basilisk's venom after killing it that it was able to destroy the Horcrux.

However, Kane is currently unable to use either of these methods.

The basilisk is probably still sleeping in the pipes at Hogwarts.

Even if he had the audacity to ask Dumbledore for the Gryffindor sword, he still couldn't destroy the Horcrux.

"Now, the only feasible way is Fiendfire," Kane muttered to himself.

He remembered that in the original story, Ravenclaw's crown was destroyed by Fiendfire.

Fiendfire is a powerful form of dark magic that grows stronger as it burns.

It can even transform into the appearance of a monster, indiscriminately hunting down anything that can be burned.

But the key point is that Kane has never been exposed to Fiendfire.

And there is certainly no information about the Fiery Curse in the textbook.

Kane originally planned to wait until he got his hands on Harry's Invisibility Cloak before venturing into the forbidden area of ​​the library.

But at this moment, the situation was urgent, and he decided to act ahead of schedule.

Fortunately, he had the Marauder's Map, which gave him confidence and made him feel that he could evade detection.

Soon, evening arrived, and Kane muttered in his dorm room, "I solemnly swear that I did nothing good."

The map was instantly covered with dense lines and dots.

The movements of everyone inside the castle were completely visible.

Kane carefully checked and confirmed that there were no teachers or students around the library.

So he put on his all-black night clothes again.

After getting dressed, Kane took the Marauder's Map.

Keep an eye out along the way to make sure you're not spotted by anyone else.

Kane's heart tightened, and upon closer inspection, he realized it was Mrs. Lorris, with Filch not far away.

Upon seeing the cat, Kane instantly transformed, adopting Snape's appearance.

He quickly and skillfully put away the live map in his hand.

In the blink of an eye, the once handsome blond wizard transformed into the brooding Professor Snape.

It was so frightened that it let out a pitiful "Meow!!!" and its fur stood on end.

"Oh, honey, is someone here?"

Filch's voice came from the other side of the corridor.

His tone carried a hint of joy.

These past two days, without Mischief's antics, his cleaning has been much easier, and he's in a much better mood.

Kane saw that the other party was about to arrive.

Mimicking Snape's usual cold tone, he said towards Filch, "Filch, is that you?"

Filch paused in his brisk steps upon hearing Snape's voice.

The smile on his face also disappeared.

Instead, he adopted a respectful and deferential expression.

He strode forward and, seeing Professor Snape standing there, bent down. "Oh, Professor Snape! What a coincidence! What are you doing here?"

Filch's face was full of smiles as he spoke ingratiatingly to "Snape".

Kane saw the other person's appearance and realized how pathetic it was to be a nobody. At school, all he could do was bully the junior wizards by taking advantage of his status.

Now, when I see a professor, I don't dare to utter a single word.

Snape frowned slightly, glanced at Mrs. Lorris, and said coldly, "I heard a noise, so I came to check. Your cat seems to have been frightened by something."

As he spoke, he leaned forward slightly, as if to examine Mrs. Lorris.

Mrs. Lorris trembled with fear as the man approached.

"Meow!"

It was so frightened that it could only stretch out its claws to try to stop it.

Upon seeing this, Snape quickly straightened up.

Filch tenderly picked up Mrs. Lorris and gently stroked her fur.

She muttered to herself, "Poor baby, did you encounter something scary?"

While reassuring the other woman, he looked up and asked, "Professor, did you see anyone suspicious just now? Mrs. Lorris rarely panics like this."

Snape crossed his arms and said with a serious expression, "I didn't see anyone just now. I thought I heard a mouse's noise. Maybe there was a mouse or something that scared it?"

Filch nodded thoughtfully upon hearing Snape's words: "Possibly. The rats in this castle are always elusive, especially the Weasley rat, which has been running rampant in the castle for the past few years."

Snape felt that this couldn't go on any longer.

He coughed lightly and said, "Since there's nothing else, I still have some potions to prepare, so I'll be going now."

After saying that, he turned to leave.

"Wait, Professor!" Filch suddenly called out.

Snape's heart tightened. Although he could transform into other people's appearances, it also consumed a lot of magic power!

If Filch drags his feet, he'll be exposed sooner or later.

I should have used the Disillusionment Charm earlier!

Snape immediately turned to Filch: "Is there anything else?"

Filch hesitated for a moment, then said, "Professor, do you have any potions that can get rid of these rats?"

Snape breathed a sigh of relief, his face remaining indifferent: "I can give you some potion to sprinkle in the places he frequents."

Filch's face lit up with a delighted smile: "Thank you so much, Professor! You've really helped me a lot!"

Snape nodded slightly, then strode away.

He only breathed a sigh of relief after walking a distance and confirming that Filch could no longer see him.

The "Snape" look on his face gradually faded, and he returned to his original appearance.

Meanwhile, Filch, who remained where he was, continued to comfort Mrs. Lorris.

Suddenly remembering something, he said to Mrs. Loris in his arms, "Oh dear, the professor didn't tell us when we're going to get the potion."

"However, it will definitely take the professor some time to brew the potion, so let's go pick it up on Saturday night."

"Then you won't be scared by those rats anymore."
