Mrs. Longbottom and Neville were waiting here on purpose.

Ten minutes ago, Neville seemed to have misunderstood Kyle's meaning. Instead of going to find a therapist, he went downstairs and started shouting that there was a werewolf, and tried to get others to go to the second floor to help.

But no one believed him, even though they had just heard the noise coming from upstairs.

Because werewolves do not appear during the day, this is the most basic common sense in the magical world.

And this is St. Mungo's, a place where talented people abound. Here, there are many people with mental problems. Just twenty minutes ago, someone claimed that he raised a dragon upstairs.

It's just a werewolf, nothing to be surprised about.

Besides, the therapists didn't believe this round-faced fat guy.

The reason they were on the second floor was entirely because of another person.

——The curly-haired intern therapist who introduced Kyle to the place was in the ward where the werewolf was at the time and witnessed the entire process of the werewolf's transformation with his own eyes.

But fortunately, he was not bitten, perhaps because the werewolf had just transformed and his mind was still confused, so he just slammed him into the wall.

As soon as he pulled himself out, he contacted other colleagues in St. Mungo's unique way and told them about the werewolves.

This is how the previous scene happened.

On the other side, Mrs. Longbottom hurriedly found Neville after learning about this. After learning what happened from her grandson, the old lady immediately took Neville to express her gratitude.

But they were a step too late. When the two found Kyle, he had just gone to the sixth floor with the dean and Dumbledore.

Mrs. Longbottom simply stood at the corner of the stairs with Neville and waited until they came down.

Afterwards, Mrs. Longbottom invited Kyle to a ward on the fifth floor.

Neville's parents were there, lying on the hospital bed, staring blankly at Kyle.

"You saved Neville, and they want to express their gratitude to you."

Mrs. Longbottom turned her head to look at the bed and said with a trembling voice, "Frank, Alice, the child is here."

But the two men's eyes were still dull, as if they had not heard what Mrs. Longbottom said.

"Don't mind, child," Mrs. Longbottom explained. "I can sense that they really want to thank you in person, but they just can't express it."

While Mrs. Longbottom was talking, Neville stood nearby, head bowed, and seemed to be taking great interest in his toes.

But such behavior made Mrs. Longbottom very annoyed.

"Hold your head up, Neville!" she said sternly. "You shouldn't be ashamed of what your parents went through. You should be proud!"

"I didn't..." Neville retorted, his voice was quiet but firm.

Then, Madam Longbottom looked at Kyle again, straightened her back, and said proudly, "They were tortured crazy by the Death Eaters with the Cruciatus Curse... Those stray dogs wanted to force out where their masters were, but they were wrong. The Longbottom family would never compromise with dark wizards!"

"It's admirable..." Kyle stood in awe.

"Same to you, kid."

Mrs. Longbottom said: "To be able to defeat a werewolf at such a young age, not many people can do this.

I hope Neville can have such courage in the future, become an Auror after graduation, and restore the glory of the Longbottom family..."

She turned her gaze to Neville and suddenly frowned, "Keep your back straight, Neville, I've told you many times, keep your back straight!"

After leaving the ward, Kyle could still clearly hear Mrs. Longbottom scolding Neville.

"It's difficult. Any problem involving the soul is difficult to heal. This is true for werewolves and the Cruciatus Curse."

Dean Sassia thought for a moment and said, “The Cruciatus Curse not only causes physical injuries to them, but also the pain of tearing their souls apart.

A wizard's body is very fragile, just like trying to piece together a broken mirror on a stretched balloon. If you are not careful, the balloon will be punctured.

All we can do now is to put together the prototype of the mirror and wait for a more effective method to come out while ensuring that the balloon does not burst."

"Like the wolfsbane potion?" Kyle mused.

"That's right." Dean Sassia smiled and said, "What we are waiting for is the "wolfsbane potion" that can resolve the Cruciatus Curse, and we have been working hard for it."

Kyle said nothing more and walked forward silently.

After mentioning the broken soul, he suddenly thought of the Horcrux.

Yes, the Horcrux... the most evil dark magic item in the world, invented by the despicable Hercule.

Kyle remembered that if he wanted to create a Horcrux, the first thing he had to do was to split his soul through killing, and then it could be put into the Horcrux.

What if the soul is in a split state from the beginning... can this step be skipped?

Just like the Longbottoms, their souls were shattered by the Cruciatus Curse. Don't they just meet the requirements for making Horcruxes?

Kyle fell into deep thought.

Since it is impossible to piece together a complete mirror on the balloon, wouldn't it be better to just take away the fragments?

A Horcrux is a very special thing. It is like an extra body, or a bridge, connecting those broken souls.

What’s even more interesting is that once this bridge is formed, each soul fragment will become relatively complete. This is why Voldemort did not go crazy even after his six Horcruxes were destroyed.

It is precisely because of this characteristic that it allows a person to successfully achieve immortality.

If that is the case, then could the Longbottoms' shattered souls also be made into Horcruxes?

After breaking the soul into pieces, wouldn't there be no need to worry about the fragments? Of course, this was just Kyle's idea.

The problem now is that he has never read any books about Horcruxes, and his understanding of the subject is limited to the superficial knowledge in his memory. He has no idea whether it is feasible to do so.

Kyle subconsciously glanced at Dumbledore not far away.

The other party quickly noticed it and gave him a puzzled look in return.

Kyle quickly turned his eyes away.

Ask Dumbledore? Forget it. He thought that as soon as he said the word Horcrux, the Elder Wand would hammer it into the wall, and it would be embarrassing if he couldn't get it out.

Since I can't ask, I can only look for it myself.

Kyle plans to look for it in the restricted books section after school starts.

It doesn’t matter if you can’t find it, there will be another diary next year.

As for the crown in the Room of Requirement...to be honest, Kyle didn't want to touch that thing if he could help it.

It's too dangerous and it won't do him any good.
