This poll is to ask you what sort of object you would like to turn into a Horcrux and what according to you would make the place where you hid it, safe.

There are many options to choose from in the latter, and you may vote for more than one option.

Please do give us the reasons for your choices, they make things so much more interesting.
Thank you. smile.gif

You are immortal as long as nobody finds and destroys your horucrux, right? So only an idiot (or a deranged, serpentine sociopath) would use a significant object. Mine would be a single grain of sand, which I would toss overboard in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Good luck tracking that down, and no guard needed!

Well, I'd chose something singnificant for me, like something I've had since forever, cause I think it would make it stronger, wouldn't it? cause well, it basicly already has a pice of you in it, so it'll just make it ever STRONGER! I don't know, I'm just bableling, what do you think?Also I don't think I'd be an idiot for using this item, because nobody has to know what this item is, it could be something you've kept in secret, but Mimbleton, I see your point in not using an item such as this.

I'd guard it with charms and the inferi infested lake, cause it's just so creepy. lol

Great poll, rowena!
QUOTE

I like the grain of sand idea smile.gif. I agree with the comment above; a Horcrux is only as good as no one finding it and destroying it. So, if I had to ever make a Horcrux ohmy.gif I would choose an object that was seemingly insignificant; but significant to me. For example, I inherited a very small ruby: I would make that my Horcrux; then I would make myself secret keeper. Then I would hide it on a secluded beach; or forest. Even if someone found it; it is valuable enough that said person wouldn't want to destroy it and wouldn't even know what it was.

Just a quick question: does it matter what type of Horcrux is used? Are there certain rules that apply when deciding on what a Horcrux should be?

I agree with Lirene: something that is only significant to me will never be guessed.

For hiding it, I'd use a combination of the Fidelius Charm and a Disillusionment charm. That way, if anyone forces the location out of me, they still wouldn't be able to actually find it.

I think that if you chose something Signifigant it would be WAY to easy to figure out what it is.
And the Room of Requirement, has been proven NOT THAT GOOD of a hiding place
and also Guards 24/7?
it would be SO EASY for one of your guards to go and take your horcrux.

oh, yes, the grain of sand idea would be excellent. I think I would make my Horcrux a teeny tiny stone (sorry guys, I'm borrowing from your ideas!) and have it set into a piece of jewelry with other stones identical to it. I would wear it just often enough that it wouldn't seem like I was hiding it, but not too often, giving others the impression that I had to have it on me always. of course, no one would expect me to have a horcrux anyway...

If I was to place a horcrux I wouldn't like to draw to much attention to it... so I would probably have the deepest vault in Gringottsbank with where I would place a room of requirement that only could be opened by speaking gibberish. inside I would have a basilisk and then at last the mirror of Erise and it could only be retrieved by someone who didn't want to destroy it.

Good luck getting through that tongue.gif

I would use something unobtrusive like a rock. Then I would put a Fidelius Charm on its location, which would be the bottom of the ocean. Why would I want to put it somewhere that I could visit it or check up on its safety? At the bottom of the ocean it would be safe.

i would choose something significant to me, because after all it's my SOUL!!!it's a very special and delicate thing. but , to learn from voldy's experience, it's better not to , because people will trace back to ur life and find out about it.i just chose every choices that i can choose to guard the horcrux, because if i choose everything, then nobody would be able to get through it, once i put it there. biggrin.gif
