Chapter 65: The Summon (3)
Nero leaned back in his chair, arms crossed as he studied the flickering firelight dancing across Dumbledore's face. The wizard, usually calm and measured, carried a rare tension in his posture, as if the weight of the revelations regarding Voldemort's Horcruxes pressed heavily upon him.
"Grandpa, if my visions are correct, Voldemort created his seven Horcruxes around the following timeline:
First Horcrux: the Diary in 1943
Second Horcrux: Marvolo Gaunt's ring, also in 1943
Third Horcrux: the Hufflepuff Cup in 1946
Fourth Horcrux: the Slytherin Locket in 1949
Fifth Horcrux: the Ravenclaw Diadem in 1952
Sixth Horcrux: Harry Potter in 1981
Seventh Horcrux: Nagini, in 1994, which shouldn't have happened yet, as we are in 1983."
Dumbledore stroked his beard, his piercing blue eyes scanning Nero's expression. "Your recollection remains precise, as expected."
Nero tapped his fingers against the armrest of his chair. "He reached out to Slughorn in 1947, feeling that something was going wrong. We can assume that his first, second, and third Horcruxes should have contained only one soul each."
