Chapter 244 The Tip of the Iceberg

The rocket explosion brought a great shock to the Hogwarts students.

Not only because they encountered such a danger, but when they learned that the rocket itself is a pure muggle creation, which was brought into the magical world, the idea of "magic is better than muggle (science)" that has always existed in their minds has also been shaken at this time.

If it's magic, how many people need to use the Exploding Charm together to reach such a scale for this magnitude of explosion?

To cause this kind of explosion, is this the ultimate purpose for which that rocket was created?

Or, are there other more horrific weapons than it available in the Muggle world?

These questions caused many young wizards who had been brought up in the ordinary world to think about the wonders of this world. They thought about the ordinary world they had lived in for 11 years before; after they had been brought to this magical society they barely had any interaction with the muggle society that they could only reminisce about in their memories.

Perhaps, in their view now, ordinary people or things, in fact, no longer seem that ordinary?

While they discussed the experience of Neville, Hermione and the group, such thoughts sprouted in their hearts.

Jon stared at a letter.

A letter written by Dumbledore to him, delivered by Fawkes.

The letter stated exactly what happened the night Jon brought out the pact from the tower when Dumbledore led the wizards of the Witching Horizon to attack the re-educational camp, and it focused more on the abnormal changes that happened to Voldemort, and what he said during the battle had been completely penned in the letter.

From Dumbledore's records, after taking into account the time and semantics expressed in Voldemort's words, his abnormal changes were 100% caused by Jon and the group!

The bizarre changes greatly resembled the inability to control his own body, obviously, in line with what Sir Stoker had finally said to him, after the separation was broken, two consciousness in his body started to compete for the right to control.

To be honest, Jon was not aware at that time he destroyed the pact that it was so opportune, that is, right in the middle of the ultimate showdown between Dumbledore and Voldemort.

Originally he simply did that due to the death of Sir and his own chaotic emotions at that time, intending to use the pact to clearly bring some bad influence upon Voldemort, so that he could feel what he had done was not without any cost, since life had been lost due to him, it is necessary to suffer the consequences.

Originally, according to the most prudent approach, he would have kept the pact until his next contact with Dumbledore; after handing him the pact, then Dumbledore would have decided how to dispose of it.

As a result, his error can now be considered as a correct choice.

In contrast to it being his good luck and Dumbledore's explanation, Jon is more willing to believe that this is the retribution for Voldemort.

He repeatedly looked at the contents of Dumbledore's letter, and his mind speculated, what kind of situation Voldemort is now in.

According to Sir Stoker, and the situation shown after the pact was torn, he certainly has two separate consciousness in his body.

Moreover, Sir Stoker said with great certainty that he could tell that there was two consciousness within Voldemort.

It's a matter of consciousness rivalry, who co-exist in the same body, and neither side is willing to give up control of the body until now.

So, two consciousnesses, one of them is bound to be Voldemort's own original soul, but where is the other one from?

Jon gently rubbed the slightly rough surface of the parchment, thinking about the problem.

The most reasonable answer is that this other one is also Voldemort, but this consciousness originated from the Horcrux, the small part of the soul that was originally separated from Voldemort.

After all, in the history of magic, the wizards who tried to make Horcrux are very few, let alone creating such a large number of them like Voldemort, and eventually collecting them all back again.

After all, wizards who try to create Horcrux must be people who fear death, and after the Horcrux is successfully created by splitting their souls, the weaknesses in their souls will be magnified, which will stop them from risking more and giving up immortality that they have already achieved, and reverting back into being an "ordinary person" who will experience old age, sickness and death.

Voldemort obviously somehow figured this out back then, and he collected all the split souls in the Horcruxes so that he could once again re-integrate the divided souls into his own consciousness perfectly?

If those split souls resisted, thinking that they are the real "Voldemort" and the true owner of the body, then won't they clash with the original main soul and resist when they are merged?

But if there was really such resistance, there must be more than one split soul, and now the soul that is fighting with Voldemort for the right to control the body, which Horcruxes he came from?

Or, when the Horcruxes fused back to the main soul, there was an accident, and the split souls jointly pushed out a consciousness that could replace them all to fight against the main soul?

Jon thought a lot about the secrets of what happened to Voldemort, the secrets that he had uncovered seemed to be the tip of the iceberg, but learning this part of the puzzle made him more curious about the incomparably large part of the unknown horror hidden under the iceberg.

He destroyed the pact, which is equivalent to breaking the barrier between the two souls in Voldemort's body, what will happen after that?

Two souls fighting for this sole identity and the right to control, and eventually die together?

This is an ideal outcome, but also the least likely one, Jon vaguely felt that the most real case would be, one soul devouring the other one so that the original unstable state of Voldemort became more stable and powerful!

According to the information obtained from Sir Stoker's mouth, this magic pact that was supposed to be used for the treatment of the Maledictus blood curse, could not essentially solve the problem of the coexistence of two sentient spirits in one body.

Voldemort only used this pact as a temporary means of separation, he must have looked for other ways to completely solve this problem.

So has he found a method?

If so, is he now planning to use it?

A series of questions filled Jon's brain, making him feel that although the current situation is indeed a rare good opportunity for them, the future is still full of unknowns and dangers.

There are still many things that need to be solved, the Hogwarts voyage is not over yet, and the arrival of the good news from Dumbledore will give Jon some mental uplift at best, but it will not allow him to relax and slacken.

Jon would love to find time to carry out a floo powder conversation with Dumbledore, for which Dumbledore obviously also made arrangements.

Early the next morning after Fawkes brought the letter, Jon contacted Dumbledore in Lyon, France from the fireplace of Hogwarts.
