Alice Norton, a Muggle child, one day received an invitation to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Along with the invitation came a tattered banner-like cloth, called the "Banner of Ten Thousand Souls," though Alice preferred to call it the "Banner of the Human Emperor." ...Years later, Alice, looking at the fragments of a noseless monster's soul within the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls, her eyes gleaming with curiosity, asked, "Can your soul only split into eight parts?"
