'Oops! I Stole the Isekai Lottery'-Chapter 65: The Horcrux Hunt: Chaos, Tea, and Voldemort’s Worst Nightmare

After what felt like an eternity of shouting, accusations, and several near-attempts at homicide, the storm in the Headmaster's office finally settled down.

Madam Bones, still radiating pure menace, suddenly grabbed Raja by the collar and lifted him off the ground like a sack of potatoes.

"Horcruxes. Now."

Raja, for the first time in a long time, felt true terror. He flailed his arms dramatically.

"Dobby, shift us to the chambers before I die of old age in Madam Bones' iron grip!"

Before anyone could process what was happening, Dobby snapped his fingers, and the entire group was blipped into the Chamber of Secrets—which now looked less like a snake-infested dungeon and more like a high-tech magical research lab.

The Lab of Chaos

Dumbledore, ever the curious old man, walked over to a corner where six cylindrical glass tubes stood, each connected to a large, ominous-looking furnace. Four tubes were filled with dark, swirling energy, while two remained empty.

Everyone marveled at the genius of the setup—except Snape, who was probably plotting murder.

Dumbledore adjusted his half-moon spectacles and inquired, "Where is the fifth Horcrux?"

Raja grinned mischievously. "I've narrowed it down, but someone still needs to retrieve it."

He turned to Lupin, Sirius, and Moody.

"Gentlemen, congratulations! You've been selected for the most thrilling treasure hunt of your lives! Dobby will take you to the ruins of the Gaunt mansion to retrieve Marvolo Gaunt's ring. Enjoy your trip, and please try not to die."

Moody: "TRY NOT TO DIE?!"

Dobby saluted. "Yes, Lord. I will keep them safe."

Meanwhile, in Voldemort's Lair...

Far away, in the darkest, most sinister cave imaginable, Bellatrix Lestrange hesitantly approached Voldemort, who was reading The Daily Prophet with an unusual look of delight on his snake-like face.

"Ah, Bella! Excellent work! Your Death Eaters are magnificent! The heist was truly inspired—'ALL HAIL THE DARK LORD!' What a statement! I must meet these geniuses myself."

Bellatrix froze.

"My Lord... I... didn't organize the heist."

Voldemort lowered the newspaper. His red eyes burned into her soul.

"...What?"

Bellatrix swallowed hard, her usual bravado completely shattered.

"I-I checked with all the Death Eaters. No one arranged it. They... stole from your most loyal followers. And... they took the Hufflepuff Cup, my Lord."

Silence.

Then, Voldemort exploded in rage.

"YOU LET THEM STEAL MY HORCRUX?! BELLATRIX, YOU FOOL OF A WOMAN!"

CRUCIO!

Bellatrix screamed in agony, writhing on the floor as Voldemort's temper tantrum reached hurricane levels.

Somewhere in the distance, a Death Eater decided today was a good day to quit.

Meanwhile, Dobby teleported the trio—Moody, Sirius, and Lupin—to the crumbling ruins of the Gaunt mansion.

Lupin and Sirius transformed into their Animagus forms to dig through the rubble while Moody kept watch. After much sniffing and digging, Lupin unearthed a box that contained the infamous Marvolo Gaunt's ring.

Before they could celebrate, Dobby suddenly yelled:

"INCOMING!"

Six Death Eaters apparated into the ruins and immediately attacked.

A wild duel broke out, with hexes and curses flying everywhere. Moody took three Death Eaters head-on, Sirius blasted another into a tree, and Lupin clawed one in the face.

However, just when things got messy, Dobby blinked in and casually killed two Death Eaters in the blink of an eye.

The last remaining Death Eater ran for his life.

Dobby let him escape. "Lord Raja's orders."

Back at Hogwarts: The Final Revelation

The injured trio was rushed to the infirmary, while Raja inspected the recovered ring.

His eyes narrowed when he saw the black stone embedded in the ring.

"Ah... so it's one of the Deathly Hallows."

Maya's voice echoed in his mind:

"You're not ready to mess with Death, idiot. Wait a few years."

Dumbledore, recognizing the Resurrection Stone, rushed forward.

"Raja, that thing—"

Raja cut him off.

"I KNOW what it is. I'm not an idiot who plays God with things I don't understand."

Dumbledore stepped back, looking... impressed.

Later that night, Raja gathered the entire war council in a quiet garden surrounded by unicorns, hippogriffs, Fawkes, and a sentient flying car.

Everyone was enjoying tea, blissfully unaware of the chaos about to be dropped on them.

Raja cleared his throat.

"Alright, let's get to the facts. First, there aren't just six Horcruxes. There are seven."

Everyone gasped dramatically.

Dumbledore, visibly distressed, demanded, "What are the seven Horcruxes?"

Raja listed them off like a grocery list:

Tom Riddle's Diary (Destroyed)

New novel 𝓬hapters are published on ƒreewebɳovel.com.

Marvolo Gaunt's Ring (Just retrieved)

Salazar Slytherin's Locket (Stolen by 'Supreme Wizard King')

Helga Hufflepuff's Cup (Snatched from Bellatrix)

Rowena Ravenclaw's Diadem (Hogi Found it)

Nagini the Snake (Creepy Voldy Pet)

Harry Potter

The last name shattered reality.

Sirius: "WHAT?!"

Lupin: "EXPLAIN. NOW."

Raja sighed dramatically.

"When Voldemort's killing curse backfired, his soul was so weak that the last fragment latched onto Harry's scar. That's why Voldemort can see into his mind. That's also why I haven't discussed anything important with him in the last year."

Dumbledore looked like someone had just told him Santa wasn't real.

Dumbledore, barely holding himself together, asked, "When did you figure this out?"

Raja took a slow sip of tea.

Raja replied, "Well, in my first year, I stumbled upon the Room of Requirement. After that, I spent every night until midnight reading and researching. During one of our Forbidden Forest trips, I saw Quirrell drinking unicorn blood, which piqued my curiosity. I began to look into the uses of the blood, and slowly, I uncovered the truth about Horcruxes." He continued, "As for Harry being a Horcrux, in the second year, when I heard Harry speak Parseltongue and learned how he had killed Voldemort as a child, I put everything together."

Everyone lost their minds.

Dumbledore, troubled, said, "You should have informed me of this important information, Mr. Raja."

Raja retorted, "What would you have done? Locked Harry up and experimented on him? Do you know how to remove a Horcrux from a person without killing them?" Dumbledore was left speechless.

Lupin asked, "What should we do now? We'll do whatever it takes to save Harry."

Raja answered, "I already know how to remove the Horcrux from Harry. I've known for two years; I've just been waiting for the right moment."

The others shouted in disbelief, "What? You could have done it? He's your friend! He's not an experiment! Why didn't you do it sooner?"

Raja snapped, "Shut up! Do you really know what I'm doing? I don't like to do one task at a time. I'll finish them all at once and successfully. I don't leave loose ends, so no one will suffer from my incompetence later. Unlike someone." Raja glanced at Dumbledore, who hung his head in shame.

Raja added, "The most important task that will determine the future of the magical world rests on the shoulders of one person." Raja turned to Snape and smiled.

Snape felt a chill down his spine.

"Oh, Merlin's beard... WHAT IS THE DEVIL PLANNING NOW?"
