Remus, have you got your computer turned on? Minerva confided something to me- I hope you don't mind, but it seemed worth asking about. She said you wished to explore the chambers of the late Professor Quirrel. I have no doubt that you would have a scholarly interest in their contents, and of course our usual concerns about security do not apply to

Well, actually Sir, there was rather more to it, I'm afraid.

You see, I'd... Well, I'd happened upon something that I thought might have shed some light on some of Voldemort's actions while Quirrel was his host, and I'd exhausted the less invasive avenues of research open to me.

So I asked Minerva to let me examine his rooms. More importantly, his secret chamber. And she did, but the contents had been disturbed. No, rifled. Things had been removed. Minerva says the room sealed itself upon Quirrel's death, and so he must not have noticed the loss before then.

How very alarming. You think that this burglary transpired before Quirrel's death, then? Perhaps you'd better start a bit further back--if you wouldn't mind telling me what it was that you found.

Well

Visorbs. I should have checked that area more carefully.

He did make a Horcrux, I'm quite certain of it. His grossly altered appearance first caused me to suspect. But the Horcrux was destroyed, long ago, by Harry.
