VI – Chapter 24

0100 [01:52:56] "I was in the library the other night in the Restricted Section. And I read something rather odd about a bit of rare magic. It's called, as I understand it, a Horcrux. " (Tom Riddle (11 years))

0200 [01:53:15] "I beg your pardon? " (Professor Horace Slughorn)

0300 [01:53:17] "Horcrux. I came across the term while reading and I didn't fully understand it. " (Tom Riddle (11 years))

0400 [01:53:24] "I'm not sure what you were reading, Tom, but this is very dark stuff, very dark indeed. " (Professor Horace Slughorn)

0500 [01:53:30] "Which is why I came to you. " (Tom Riddle (11 years))

0600 [01:53:37] "A Horcrux is an object in which a person has concealed part of their soul. " (Professor Horace Slughorn)

0700 [01:53:43] "But I don't understand how that works, sir. " (Tom Riddle (11 years))

0800 [01:53:49] "One splits one's soul and hides part of it in an object. By doing so, you are protected, should you be attacked and your body destroyed. " (Professor Horace Slughorn)

0900 [01:53:59] "Protected?" (Tom Riddle (11 years))

1000 [01:54:00] "That part of your soul that is hidden lives on. In other words, you cannot die. " (Professor Horace Slughorn)

1100 [01:54:15] "And how does one split his soul, sir?" (Tom Riddle (11 years))

1200 [01:54:18] "I think you already know the answer to that, Tom. " (Professor Horace Slughorn)

1300 [00:00:00] "Murder. " (Tom Riddle (11 years))

1400 [01:54:25] "Yes. Killing rips the soul apart. It is a violation against nature. " (Professor Horace Slughorn)

1500 [01:54:33] "Can you only split the soul once? For instance, isn't seven?" (Tom Riddle (11 years))

1600 [01:54:37] "Seven? Merlin's beard, Tom. Isn't it bad enough to consider killing one person? To rip the soul into seven pieces. This is all hypothetical, isn't it, Tom? All academic?" (Professor Horace Slughorn)

1700 [01:54:57] "Of course, sir. It will be our little secret. " (Tom Riddle (11 years))

1800 [01:55:12] "Sir." (Harry Potter)

1900 [00:00:00] "This is beyond anything I imagined. " (Professor Albus Dumbledore)

2000 [01:55:31] "You mean to say he succeeded, sir, in making a Horcrux?" (Harry Potter)

2100 [01:55:34] "Oh, yes, he succeeded all right. And not just once. " (Professor Albus Dumbledore)

2200 [01:55:37] "What are they exactly?" (Harry Potter)

2300 [01:55:37] "Could be anything. Most commonplace of objects. A ring for example. Or a book. " (Professor Albus Dumbledore)

2400 [01:55:48] "Tom Riddle's diary. " (Harry Potter)

2500 [01:55:49] "It's a Horcrux, yes. Four years ago when you saved Ginny Weasley's life in the Chamber of Secrets, you brought me this. I knew, then, this was a different kind of magic. Very dark, very powerful. But until today I had no idea just how powerful. " (Harry Potter)

2600 [01:56:02] "And the ring?" (Harry Potter)

2700 [01:56:02] "Belonged to Voldemort's mother. Difficult to find. Even more difficult to destroy. " (Professor Albus Dumbledore)

2800 [01:56:08] "But if you could find them all, if you did destroy each Horcrux...." (Harry Potter)

2900 [01:56:11] "One destroys Voldemort." (Harry Potter)

3000 [01:56:13] "How do you find them? They could be hidden anywhere, couldn't they?" (Harry Potter)

3100 [01:56:15] "True. But magic, especially dark magic...." (Professor Albus Dumbledore)

3200 [01:56:30] "...leaves traces. " (Professor Albus Dumbledore)

3300 [01:56:37] "It's where you have been going, isn't it, sir, when you leave the school?" (Harry Potter)

3400 [01:56:41] "Yes. And I think perhaps I may have found another. But this time, I cannot hope to destroy it alone. Once again, I must to ask too much of you, Harry. " (Professor Albus Dumbledore)

スラッグホーン先生はついにトム・リドルとの間に起きた過去の記憶をハリーに渡します。これによってハリーとダンブルドア先生はトム・リドルが 7 つもの Horcrux (分霊箱) を作ったことを知ります。
