alt_harryI talked to Professor Dolohov today.
I asked him about both ceremonies. Well, I asked him about the one, and then I sort of asked if we could talk about what happened last term since we were talking about ceremonies and things.
He didn't say it was called Horcruxes, but he said a bunch of stuff that makes me think he knows what Horcruxes are. Like he said that sometimes really powerful wizards are able to place bits of their soul into objects and then use those objects to reconstruct their bodies if they are killed.
And that made me think about why Voldemort had me hold a snitch. When he tried to make me kill Ridley. So I asked him if the object had to be something meaningful, like special to that person, and he said that it did. Like they had to be emotionally connected to it, or see it like it was powerful.
But that's pretty much all he said. And he didn't offer any books for me to read. He was definitely holding something back. And he was careful the whole time. More than usual. Anyways. I figure I could ask him more later, maybe.

Date: 2013-06-12 04:11 am (UTC)I mean, I guess it's good he wants to give you books about it, but... It could also just be him saying, 'I know'.
I want to see that book, though.

Date: 2013-06-12 04:16 am (UTC)He's been very careful to pretend that nothing's wrong.
We've both beenHe hasn't asked me about it, he hasn't hinted that he wants to know anything, he hasn't said a WORD.But
Yeah
It looks like a pretty good book, actually.

Date: 2013-06-12 06:33 am (UTC)Uh, better check it for trace spells or anything else like that. If he thinks you were at the Ministry and he's wondering who else was there with you, who you're lending this book to would be exceedingly interesting to him.
Would it make a difference if, I dunno, we wear gloves or something if we borrow it? Is that enough to keep him from being able to tell that any of us touched it?
On second thought, maybe a duplio spell isn't a good idea.
Hey, I can check to see if my Dad has a copy in his library, at my Gran's house. Sounds like the type of book an Auror would have. If it isn't too new. When was it published?

Date: 2013-06-12 05:30 pm (UTC)If he wants to know who my friends are, he doesn't need a tracking spell on his books.
He does put a spell on all his books, a mild compulsion spell that will make you think, 'oh, I'd better return this' if you don't get around to reading it for a while. So take that under advisement.
