Horcrux? what thing do you choose

Post by Reyyan Azkendra »

We all know that making horcrux is one of the darkest of black magic. But, What if we had the chance to make it once? Well, don't get so greedy that you make it over and over again like Voldemort. and let's just say we don't need to recite the Avada Kedavra spell before making a horcrux.

What do you think you would use as a horcrux? Is there any particular reason? (well, I read the explanations on several sites. they say if objects that can be made into horcruxes are objects that have a relationship with the creator of the horcrux).

For me, I'm going to pick some school orientation attributes that I used in middle school. I have a good memories aside, muggles and wizarding folks alike probably just thought it only a trash from middle school students B)

I would probably also chose something that would stand on my desk. It should be seen as personal but not so much so that it would be taken. It should also be a little bit ordinary to go unnoticed, but not enough to throw out. Perhaps a photo in a frame. Something I can take with me but not carry on me.

Hmmm.... that's a pretty good question. I would probably go for something that's not to personal, but something that I like? I suppose, it could be my jewellery or perhaps novels, that I loved a lot and would love reading it for the first time again. The above two things would probably be my horcrux or ones that I would have as a horcrux, if I ever choose to have one, which is very unlikely.

Much like Voldemort, I would probably choose one of my many diaries I have written throughout my life. I have significant attachment to them so it would make sense. Another choice would be an amethyst crystal, as it is my birthstone and I adore anything purple.

I would choose something that I can openly like a lot and yet appears harmless to others. First of all, I want no one knowing that I have a Horcrux. And then, even if they do know, they should have a hard time distinguishing it from other ordinary objects instead of using something obvious and clearly related to me in a special way that needs high protection. I recently saw a meme about Nokia phones being good as Horcruxes, because these phones were supposedly indestructible (and I agree, I used to own one, I dropped mine from the 10th floor of a building, and it was intact with only the phone switched off and the battery thrown out because the battery cover came off, but the battery cover didn't break, mind you, I could fix it right back). Since someone has already had that idea, that option has to go. Let me see, metal and plastic melt, wood burns, diamonds? Rocks! Diamonds are the hardest form of carbon out there. So, I would make a diamond necklace or a pendant with lots of tiny diamonds in it, and not mark the one which is my Horcrux. Diamond necklaces are simply property, and one that naturally warrants protection, without raising any eyes. And of course, it would make a lot of sense to love and protect a diamond necklace, no questions asked there. Now, I know that it would be prone to be stolen by thieves but what are safes for? I only hope that the bank owner or handler who handles my vault won't start to feel unexplainable irritation after handling my jewelry. Anyway, that will keep him from fingering my jewelry too much, :D

I would never even think of using magic as dark as creating a horcrux. Although it is interesting to think about this from a theoretical point of view, I believe that keeping the soul intact is much more important. As someone who does not fear death and looks forward to the adventures that may await us beyond this life, I see no point in seeking immortality in such a dishonorable way.

Death is a natural part of the life cycle, and while it is inevitable, it is also what gives our lives meaning. Instead of trying to avoid it, I prefer to live in such a way that I leave behind a legacy that will speak of my life, not the fear of the end. The power of wisdom lies in accepting our transience and focusing on how we can make this world a better place while we're still here.
