Chapter 2: The Tremor in the Wizarding World

Hogwarts – Dumbledore's Office

The night was deep, and Hogwarts Castle remained as tranquil as ever, with only the flickering fireplace casting a warm glow.

Seated in his ancient chair, Dumbledore's long fingers lightly tapped against the wooden desk. His wise blue eyes held a thoughtful gaze as he looked at Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley.

"So, we can be certain now," Dumbledore spoke slowly, his voice calm yet firm. "Unless Voldemort's Horcruxes are destroyed, he will always find a way to return."

Hermione nodded, flipping through a thick, dusty tome. "Professor, this book suggests that if a Horcrux is subjected to enough force, it could… well, completely collapse."

Harry frowned. "The problem is, how do we find the remaining ones?"

Before anyone could answer, a sudden tremor shook the entire room.
