"Sure. You explained about Voldemort and you said you didn't think he was gone for good because somebody that afraid of dying makes sure he doesn't. You also said that there were hideous evil ways of becoming immortal and you wouldn't be surprised if he'd used one of them."
"Yes and when your mother and I talked with Healer Dordt about the piece of Voldemort's soul that was in your scar; he gave us the distinct impression that even though the horcrux in your scar was accidental; Voldemort might have made other deliberate horcruxes. I turned over what information we had to the Rufus Scrimgeour, head of the Aurors and he and four of his best Aurors have been investigating Voldemort. They found that he was the last heir of Salazar Slytherin which I already knew, and that he favored things belonging to the Founders."
"How do you create a horcrux, Dad?"
"It requires the evilest act of all, murdering someone which then tears the murderer's soul and then encasing the piece in an object of your choice with an unknown spell. From what we have learned so far; Voldemort chose artifacts belonging to the Founders."
"What do the Aurors do when they find them?" Harry asked.
"For now, they're storing them in magically dampening bags."
"How many have they found already?" Lily asked.
"They have found Salazar Slytherin's ring that once belonged to Morvolo Gaunt who was Voldemort's grandfather. He and his family were the last descendants of Salazar Slytherin. How Voldemort acquired it is unknown. We think he may have hidden one of his horcruxes here; either the Hufflepuff cup or the Ravenclaw diadem. There is also another one we have located, but it is going to take some maneuvering to get it free."
"Where is it?" Harry asked.
"It is in a seaside cave behind a wall and in a basin in the middle of an island in the middle of an underground lake. It is in the bottom of the basin containing a poisonous potion which can only be drunk in order to get to the locket. That is why I need the activated charcoal. The potion is called the Drink of Despair and its main ingredients are deadly nightshade and mistletoe. We have no treatment for such poisoning, but the Muggles do."
At that moment the floo sounded and they saw Lucius' head sitting in the fire. "May I come through, Severus?"
"Yes, of course."
Luc stepped out of the floo and as always elegantly dressed. Under his arm he carried what looked like a book. He nodded at Lily and said, "Hello Lily, how have you been?" He chuckled suddenly. "Draco wrote me about you setting Dumbledore's posterior on fire. I must say Narcissa and I got quite a chuckle out of picturing that."
"I warned him about trying to influence Harry into doing something dangerous, but he refused to listen so he needed a reminder," Lily replied smoothly.
"What brings you to Hogwarts, Luc?"
Lucius extended the book he'd been holding out to Severus. "I think this might be another horcrux. The Dark Lord gave it to my father shortly after I joined the Death Eaters and told him to keep it safe for him. I had forgotten completely about it until Narcissa found it hidden in a trunk in the attic. I can feel a slight tingle in the mark when I handle it."
Severus took the book from Lucius and went over to his desk. He opened it, dipped his quill into the ink bottle and wrote on the first page of the diary. 'My name is Tiberius Pence and I am a first year Slytherin, but I am homesick and sad.' Severus was shocked to see what he had written sink on the parchment disappear.
"What the hell …" Lucius muttered.
Suddenly writing appeared. 'Hello, Tiberius. How did you get my diary?'
'Who are you?' Severus wrote.
'My name is Tom and I was also in Slytherin.'
Severus quickly quit writing and closed the diary. "This is definitely not a normal diary." He dug through his desk and then pulled out a bag that Lucius recognized as having magic dampening properties and placed the diary inside of it. "I will get this to Mad-Eye and Orion."
"There was something else. I also recalled Bella constantly bragging about the Dark Lord entrusting her with something special."
"You think he gave her one of his horcruxes?"
"I would bet one of my vaults on it," Lucius answered.
"Where do you think she is keeping it?"
"I'm betting it is in her vault. She has one vault that she keeps for herself and does not share it with Rodolphus."
"Are you be able to get into it?"
"Narcissa is able to. As I am sure you already know since Bella is in Azkaban she has lost the right to her vaults and they automatically reverted to Narcissa since Andromeda was disowned."
"We will need to check out that special vault as soon as possible," Severus decided. "Lily and I think there also might be one hidden here at Hogwarts too since he seems to have hidden his horcruxes in places he felt a link to." He then told Lucius what Dumbledore had told the Order about Voldemort applying for the position in 1955 and being rejected by Dumbledore. "Dumbledore felt that is when he cursed the position so no professor currently can hold it for more than a year. He also could have hidden the horcrux at that time."
"That makes sense," Lucius admitted. "But we need to get into Bella's vault first and see whether she has the cup or the diadem and then we will know what we are looking for here."
"Let me know when Cissa wants to do it. I can have Mr. Endicott take over my class for that time. He is one of my NEWT students and does a very good job of it. I am thinking of taking him on as my apprentice."
