Chapter 13. A Horcrux

"Then search it for me, even if you search the entire Great Britain, you must find this evil black wizard for me."

"Let all the staff of the Ministry of Magic dispatch to find that damned dark wizard."

Scrimgeour said angrily, what the dark wizard did was a provocation to the prestige of Ministry of Magic.

"Oh, Rufus, calm down. Although it is important to capture that dark wizard, rebuilding Diagon Alley is also a major task for the Ministry of Magic. We cannot send all the staff of the Ministry of Magic out."

"Albus, the new school year at Hogwarts is about to begin. Now that something like this has happened, many little wizards haven't bought school supplies yet. This matter also needs to be dealt with."

"After all, children are the future of the wizarding world."

Fudge said, looking at Dumbledore, hoping to get his support.

"Of course, the children are of course the most important thing. There is still one month before the start of the new school year, but leave this matter to Hogwarts. Hogwarts will take care of it."

"The most important thing now is to arrest that dark wizard. At the same time, the Ministry of Magic should also strengthen its vigilance. It should increase patrols in some important places to prevent that dark wizard from reappearing."

"After all, with such a terrifying dark magic, no one knows what terrible things he will do."

Dumbledore said with a sigh, It's an sensitive time now, Voldemort is looking for an opportunity to make a comeback, there is such a terrifying dark wizard in the wizarding world of England, and Harry Potter is about to come to Hogwarts to study. Dumbledore, of course, didn't like uncontrollable and uncertain aspects in this.

"Yes, yes, Albus, you are right. We must guard against that terrible dark wizard, but rebuilding Diagon Alley is urgent, otherwise the Ministry of Magic will be ridiculed by wizards from other countries."

"Okay, Now that the matter here has been settled, it's time for me to go back to Hogwarts."

Dumbledore said that he didn't have time to argue with Fudge here, and now that there was another unstable factor in the wizarding world, he had to prepare early.

*Chirp!*

A phoenix cry sounded, and Dumbledore was led away by his phoenix.

Soon, Fudge and some officials from the Ministry of Magic also left, leaving only Kingsley and other Aurors to wait in Diagon Alley.

"Oh! Christ, Diagon Alley has been destroyed like this!"

"My God, so many shops have been destroyed, where are we going to buy the school supplies that Hogwarts requires?"

"Gringotts is destroyed, how can we withdraw money now?"

Not long after, some wizards also returned to Diagon Alley one after another, but it was unbelievable to see the devastation in front of them and the ruins everywhere.

Never before had Diagon Alley been subjected to such a horrific attack, even during Voldemort's ravages, it had never been damaged so much.

16 Timbery Avenue, London.

This is the home of Hermione Granger, a detached villa. Her Muggle parents are dentists, and they belong to the middle class in England.

"I will never allow my daughter to go to that dangerous wizarding world. Professor McGonagall, you have also seen that your wizarding world is too dangerous."

Inside the villa, Mr. Granger firmly refused.

Ever since Professor McGonagall brought them back here from Diagon Alley's apparition, Mr. Granger has been determined not to let his daughter go to the wizarding world.

"Mr. Granger, you can rest assured that Hogwarts is the safest place in the wizarding world. I can assure you that Miss Granger will not be in any danger if she goes to study there."

Professor McGonagall persuaded helplessly.

She managed to get the Grangers to let their daughter Hermione Granger go to Hogwarts to go to school with great difficulty, but what happened in Diagon Alley made all her previous efforts go to waste.

"Even your wizarding bank has been robbed, let alone a school. I'd rather let Hermione be an ordinary person than put her in danger."

Mr Granger said.

The trip to Diagon Alley was really deep in his memory, those wizards were so powerful, until now, he still clearly remembered the terrifying destructive power of the wizards.

The wizarding world is so dangerous, how dare he let his precious daughter go to school in that kind of place.

"Mr. Granger, Miss Granger is a witch. She has magic power in her body. If she doesn't go to school, the magic power in her body will get out of control sooner or later, and it can lead to several…incidents."

"Do you know that it is the terrible black energy like smoke, it's one of those accidents, if gets out of control the whole of London will be destroyed."

Professor McGonagall had no choice but to intimidate.

"Professor McGonagall, are you saying that my daughter has such terrible destructive power?"

Mr. Granger was shocked.

"Yes, I didn't lie to you. The reason why wizards and witches should go to the school of magic is to prevent the appearance of things like that, In any case, Miss Granger must go to Hogwarts."

Professor McGonagall said.

"Hermione, what do you want?" Mr. Granger had no choice but to look at his daughter.

"Well, I'm going to Hogwarts."

Hermione didn't hesitate, and nodded directly, how could she be willing to be an ordinary person after seeing the magic of magic.

"Well, no matter what you do, Mom and Dad will always support you." Mr. Granger sighed.

"Thank you, Mom and Dad."

Miss Granger rushed forward and hugged her parents.

Professor McGonagall finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this scene. On the other hand, Harry, seeing the intimacy between Hermione and her parents, was full of envy, and felt a little uncomfortable, trying to hold back the tears in his eyes.

"Mr. Granger, Ms. Granger, you can't go to Diagon Alley yet, so you should stay at home. When you can go, I will inform you again."

"Now, let's take our leave first, Harry, I will take you back to your uncle's and aunt's first."

Little Hangleton No. 82, Pyrites Manor

Elijah's figure appeared in the yard, in an instant. After both feet fell to the ground, he felt his head hurt but support by house elf Kiki, who found him crawling in pain in the alley, after the fight.

The magic of Apparition itself feels very uncomfortable, but Elijah has already adapted to it because of the frequent use of it.

But letting out obscurus out, for the first time, he felt like he experienced the pain caused by cruciate curse he suffered before his rebirth. Plus he exhausted his magic reserves.

In the battle of Diagon Alley, he continuously used powerful spells such as Obscurus, Fiendfyre, and fought against Dumbledore again, which caused a serious consumption of magic power in his body.

At that time, if he hadn't sacrificed a fire dragon with his blood and obtained powerful power, otherwise, with his magic power at that time, he would not be able to cast fiendfyre at all. Well, he did play his part well, posing as an unstable, mad dark wizard.

"I am dying." He muttered.

He needed urgent rest, but he knew his time is coming to end, he is losing control over his emotion, feeling despair and pain of obscure. His body can't take it anymore. He felt like he will blast like a balloon.

"Kiki." Elijah whimpered to the house elf on his side who was crying non stop seeing conditions of her little master.

"Sob…yes, little master, kiki will do anything."

"Take me to the basement, and a potion of magic and blood replenishing potion I gave you earlier." Elijah said not even able to move a finger.

"Oh! Poor little master! Kiki will do it."

Then, Kiki quickly cast a levitation magic, which lifted Elijah up and transported him into the house.

After taking Elijah to basement, Kiki poured Potion in the vials in Elijah mouth who was as pale as one could get.

After 10 minutes, Elijah who was clearly in the pain, opened his eyes and stood up supported by Kiki.

"I won't be able to suppress it anymore, I hope this ritual in 'that book', will work. Otherwise it will be a disappointing end to my second life." Elijah muttered hoping to succeed in his next trail.

"I need to start now, as I finally got the last ingredient."

"The Philosopher's Stone!"

Elijah looked at the blood-red gem-like stone in his hand.

This Sorcerer's Stone should be the only Sorcerer's Stone in the entire wizarding world. The former owner was Nicolus Flamel, but now it is his.

"It is said that the Philosopher's Stone can turn any cheap metal into pure gold."

Elijah took the Sorcerer's Stone and moved it to a pile of rusty scrap iron. He didn't know how to use the Sorcerer's Stone, so he directly poured his magic power into the Sorcerer's Stone.

A ray of light flashed across the piece of magic water, and the pile of rusty scrap iron immediately became gleaming golden, turning into pure gold.

"This Sorcerer's Stone is really a good thing, but unfortunately I don't really need gold now."

Elijah shook his head. He had robbed the vaults of several pure-blood families in Gringotts. The Galleons inside in pockets were as tall as a hill, enough to last him for several lifetimes.

It can be said that he is not short of money at all now, and he has no interest in money at all.

Elijah put the Philosopher's Stone on the workbench, then took out a beautifully covered book, and began to flip through it. He found this book in his father study after their deaths. He at that time was in despair as he found himself in a body of a small baby who developed an obsucure at such a young age. He also often had nightmares about the night when his predecessor died.

But This book can be said to be his greatest reliance in this world. It was a book his father found in Egypt, as he explained his journey in his journal. Half of the book was golden, other half was black. But it was written in some ancient Egyptian dialects. He spent a major part of his fortune, to get a memory vial and learned 'Coptic' dialect, nearly 4 millennial old language.

When he leaned the name of the book, he instantly knew he didn't wasted his money. The name of the book is "Light of AmunRa and Night of Anubis."

He instantly knew he hit jackpot as he knew AmunRa Egyptian God of Sun and Anubis God of Death. As he read the book, he knew all he need was time, and he can concur this world one day. As the book contain near endless spells, ritual, ancient magic, runes, potions and all near extinct and powerful.

At first, he thought it was his 'gift' in this world, but he knew it was nothing more than coincidence. Throughout the ages, how many wizards have been born in this world, and how many magics have passed away in the long river of time.

But in any case, Elijah can have the current magical attainments, and this book has given him a lot of help.

Whether it was the dark magic circle he had set up in Gringotts in Diagon Alley or the black magic he used in the blood sacrifice to the fire dragon, he had taught himself in this book, and he had only learned a little bit.

He also found a possible solution for his impending death. And he has been preparing for it, ever since.

"'Twins of Magic' Eh…. now all the materials are ready, including the most critical Philosopher's Stone, the next step is to complete the magic."

Elijah flipped through the book and said to himself reviewing it for a final time.

The so-called Twins Magic is a very profound magic recorded in the book.

The function of this magic is somewhat similar to the Horcrux recorded in the book "Secrets of Advanced Black Magic", but it is much more advanced than the black magic of Horcrux.

The so-called horcrux refers to splitting one's soul, and then hiding the split part of the soul in an object outside the body, and that thing is the horcrux.

In this way, even if the subject is attacked or destroyed, as long as the Horcrux still exists, it will not die.

However, although it will not die, once the body of the subject is destroyed, the soul will be very weak, becoming even worse than a wandering soul.

Just like Voldemort, after his body was destroyed, although he didn't die due to the existence of the Horcrux, he became very weak and could only cling to some small animals such as mice and snakes to survive.

Knowing his impeding death, Elijah first considered making a Horcrux, to ensure his survival, but found this better version of it.

"Gogle! Gogle! Gogle!..…"

Inside the crucible on the workbench, the emerald green potion was boiling under the simmering fire, exuding an indescribable fragrance.

"Everything is ready to start."

Elijah muttered to himself, and took a wooden box from the side of the workbench.

The wooden box was opened, and there was nothing else in it, but a handful of ashes, which belonged to his mother.

'It's a pity that I can't find dad's ashes, as there was nothing of him. This might effect gender, but being alive is more important now.' Elijah took out a handful of ashes from the wooden box, sprinkled them into the cauldron containing the green potion, and began to stir.

"The bones of the mother unintentionally donated, give birth to the body."

Then, Elijah took the Philosopher's Stone from the side again, without any hesitation, directly threw the Philosopher's Stone into the cauldron.

"The Philosopher's Stone, forcefully donated, giving endless life force."

At this time, after the magic stone was added to the emerald green potion in the crucible, it gradually turned blood red during the stirring process.

"Own blood, voluntarily donated, makes the blood flow."

Without hesitation, Elijah took out a sharp dagger and cut his wrist, blood gushed out immediately and dripped into the cauldron.

After the blood was added, the blood-red liquid in the crucible began to boil, and diamond-like sparks splashed out, so bright and dazzling.

"The last step, the last step is still left!"

Elijah's tone was a bit fainting, he was simply so exhausted, and a healing spell stopped the bleeding and healed the wound.

After treating the wound, he picked up his new wand in his hand and pointed it at his head.

Elijah's hands began to tremble slightly. This was the last and most important step in the magic twins.

Like making a Horcrux, split your own soul, which demanded a sacrifice, a murder, that why he killed the godlin in outside gringotts, who was the only casualty in today's farce.

"Soul Split!"

Elijah gritted his teeth and let out a low snort.

In an instant, Elijah felt a sharp pain coming from his body, but it was not a physical pain, but a spiritual pain.

That kind of severe pain can make life worse than death, like being cut into pieces by a thousand knives and bitten by hundreds of millions of ants. This pain can't be topped.

"Uh! Aghhhhh!"

Elijah let out a cry of pain and clenched his teeth. His originally fair face became even paler, without any trace of blood, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness.

Although the pain was unbearable, Elijah still controlled the wand in his hand and pulled the split soul fragments into the huge cauldron.

Suddenly, a white mist rose from the huge crucible, making it difficult to see what happened.

Elijah maintained his conscience and stared at the white mist in front of him, success or failure, he asked himself.

Soon, a naked boy's body rose slowly from the huge cauldron. It was girl about the same size and age as Elijah and her figure was of a beautiful young girl but her appearance was completely different.

The girl had long white blond hair and sky blue eyes, highly in contrast to Elijah's more black than ever eyes and hairs. But she was equally beautiful.

"Are you going to keep me from wearing clothes like this, my dear?"

"Or I am that beautiful, you fell for me in an instant."

The girl opened her eyes and joked with Elijah in a cheerful voice.

"Ughh…you know we are actually one, right. And I nearly died just now."

Elijah snorted, splitting ones soul is not an easy task, in his physical state, if he lost bearing in the middle of the ritual, it was all over. Then seeing such a beautiful girl naked had him lost for a moment.

"Yes, from now on, you are me, and I am you. But I don't want to run around naked or do you want me to?" Girl said with a sadistic grin.

"W..what nonsense are you spouting? I don't want anything like that..sigh Kiki!"

Tired Elijah called out as Kiki appeared and looked at Elijah then at naked girl in front of her.

"Kiki bring some spare clothes and give them to her. And also from now on she is my…sister, so your mistress."

"Really, little master won't be alone anymore, Kiki has a mistress, Kiki is happy, I will bring clothes for little mistress."

Kiki disappeared and brought a loose trouser and t-shirt which the girl wore.

Elijah was a little impatient. Although the person in front of him was a part of himself, the two of them were not connected in thinking.

The so-called twins with the same magic are also called twins of good and evil. Elijah and the girl, one represents good and the other represents evil.

The power of this magic lies in that if the twins of good and evil are not destroyed at the same time, only the good one or the evil one is destroyed, even if the body and soul of one of them is destroyed, the other can be reborn immediately.

In addition, if the good or the evil is hurt, the damage will be shared equally between the two.

That is to say, that girl is now equivalent to Elijah's Horcrux. Even if Elijah is dead now, as long as the girl is still there, he can be resurrected immediately, and vice versa.

But this kind of magic is much stronger than the Horcrux, and the only disadvantage may be that it cannot make people live forever.

"I suppose we have brother-sister relationship, we share same parents and blood." Said the girl.

"Well, I think we should talk after I get some rest."

Elijah said. He has always been emotionally dead and he needed to that way to keep his obscure in check. But now he is conflicted about this new development in his life.

"Or I can just do this." The girl walked forward and grabbed Elijah's hand.

In that instant, Elijah felt his pain decrease, but understood immediately as he saw a painful expression on the girl's face.

"Why would you that? I would have gotten better in few hours." Elijah in an uncharacteristic angry voice slowly standing up.

"Have you lost your IQ after soul split. Of course I will do that, I am from good side besides You know we share everything from body, blood to soul but, I can't shared your obscurus, so atleast let me share your pain…brother." Girl finished speaking last words meekly.

Although although he and the person in front of him are the same person, their thoughts are independent. It can be said that they are another self, and Elijah represents the evil side. They also have a complicated relationship with each other.

"You…you know since you have appeared I am having a hard time controlling the emotions. You also know why I prefer evil side right? You get nothing with always being too goody shoes. But it seems you have inculcated my opposite personality. A cherful and loving person, sister." Elijah said in calm stabled voice.

"I think so too. But you know we will one day remove your obscurus. Then, you can live freely." Girl said with obvious pain in his voice.

"I don't know if this is a affect of ritual, but I feel like…like.."

"What?" Girl asked.

"I can't let anything happen to you. I don't know if this is just, so I won't die or it is…love, it don't know." Elijah said after collecting his feelings and thoughts.

"Do you feel anything like that?" He asked the girl.

"I can say so, as I feel like I was inside you all this time, when you were suffering, I couldn't do anything to help you, makes feel like shit." Girl said with a pained expression almost crying.

Seeing her about to cry, Elijah felt fire in his chest, pain like he never felt before.

"Hey, hey. It's not your fault, and we both know that. May be its just a side affect of ritual." Elijah hurriedly pulled the girl into his arms as an instinct to prevent her crying.

Girl stopped and surprised, but quickly held her brother back. Both feeling a much needed love and warmth they never had. They stayed in the position for few moments.

"Brother, I think I need a name. Will you give me one?" Girl said breaking their hug meekly.

"Hmm, are you sure you want me give one to you? You know it's not common for a person to able to choose their own name."

"In this world, you are the most important person to me. So I am sure." Girl said with conviction in her voice.

"Fine..hmm..aaa..you are the best parts of me, bright as sunshine..how about Aelia."

"Hmm, means sunlight in Latin. Hmm I like it, Aelia Pyrites, I will become greatest witch in the world." Said Aelia with a fist forming with her small hands and bright smile. Cute.

"So brother, what do we do next?" Aelia asked her big brother.

Although she knew of Elijah's plans till today, but not anymore, nonetheless she will support him.

"Well, let us have a days rest. All can be planned be later."
