Hogwarts passer-by professor

Chapter 177 The Miscalculated Voldemort
"This is a very good idea. It can not only show Regulus's amazing courage when he made the decision to fight against Voldemort, but also hide the evil magic of Horcrux." Dumbledore's eyes lit up and he took out his wand. I dotted a little on the parchment and replaced the word "horcrux" with "treasure".

Suddenly, the content on the parchment that Regulus had hidden in the fake locket changed to:
To the Dark Lord
I'll be dead long before you read this, but I want you to know that I discovered your secret.

I stole the real treasure and planned to destroy it as quickly as possible.

I am willing to die in the hope that I can be killed when I meet my opponent.

RAB
With a glance, Eisen saw the content above.This method of handling it is indeed a better way in his opinion.

"Professor Dumbledore!" Black looked at the changes in the parchment and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. "In this way, I believe that when people understand Regulus's life story, they will know his courage and actions against Voldemort!"

"Yes, I will be happy to announce this at Regulus's funeral!" Dumbledore said with a slight smile and a nod.

"Thank you -" Blake thanked him sincerely.Although he had been acquitted by the Ministry of Magic not long ago, to make his brother's funeral dignified, it would take someone respectable enough to personally acknowledge Regulus' contribution.There is no doubt that Dumbledore is particularly suitable.

As the greatest wizard of our time, Dumbledore has been promoted as a conspirator by the media before, but people clearly know what the article in the "Daily Prophet" is about.

In this way, with Dumbledore guaranteeing his reputation, Regulus, a former Death Eater and a descendant of the Black family who disappeared quietly, will inevitably become a real hero.

"Then, there is one more thing, which is to find the body of Regulus-" Blake hesitated for a moment, then looked at Eisen.

"I don't know where Regulus's body is! But -" Eisen pondered for a moment before talking about the situation at the time, "When I got it, it was placed on a stone covered with poison. The basin is enchanted, and other than drinking the poison, there is no other way to reduce the poison and expose it to get it."

"In other words, if Regulus wants to use the fake locket to exchange the real Horcrux, he will definitely drink the poison?" Dumbledore seemed to have thought of something and narrowed his eyes.

"Yes, judging from the last words he left, he already knew that he would die. So I guess that he wrote his last words in advance and put them in a fake locket, and then drank up the poison in the stone basin. I took the real Horcrux from the bottom of the stone basin and put the fake locket inside."

"So, Regulus didn't escape?" Dumbledore frowned.

"There was a lake around it. Maybe Regulus fell into the lake after drinking poison." Eisen nodded.

In fact, that's pretty much the truth.However, deep in Eisen's memory, it seemed that Regulus's house elf Kreacher was also present at that time.

"So, who placed the Horcrux at No. 12 Grimmauld Place?" Sirius Black suddenly interrupted, "President Dumbledore said earlier that you found it in the old house of the Black family!"

"I guess Regulus did not act alone. I saw a very old house elf at your house." Eisen glanced at Black.

"Kreacher, is it watching Regulus die?" Black showed an expression of disbelief.

"You mean, the house elves disapparated?" Dumbledore showed a look of realization. "Yes, Voldemort was dismissive of the house elves' behavior. He would not have thought that the elves had something he did not know. The magic of understanding!”

"I think the real Horcrux must have been brought back by the house elf." Eisen nodded, "As for why it didn't save your brother, it should be Regulus's order. After all, the house elf I will definitely obey my master’s orders.”

"I'm going home." Black put down the parchment and stood up impatiently.

After saying hello to Dumbledore, he nodded to Eisen and then turned around and left.Dumbledore didn't say much about this.Come to think of it, he also understood how Sirius Black was feeling.

At night, lightning and thunder rang out, and the entire castle was suddenly hit by a heavy rain.

The next morning, Black visited Dumbledore again.Aisen also met the two people in the principal's office.

Judging from the trace of depression on Blake's brow, it seemed that he had learned the truth from Kreacher.

"It seems you know a lot from the house elves?" Eisen asked first.

Black nodded, sighed and then spoke slowly: "Regulus joined Voldemort's organization when he was 16 years old, and he was proud of it. One day, Voldemort needed a house elf. So, Regulus Gulus contributed Kreacher.

Regulus considered this an honor, so he told Kreacher to do what Voldemort told him to do before he could go home.As a result, Voldemort took Kreacher to a seaside cave and drank the poison from the stone basin on the island in the center of the cave..."

After Blake finished talking about the matter, he sighed again, and then looked at Eisen, "Professor Eisen, you are right. Regulus ordered Kreacher to take him to the cave. After he drank the poison, he asked Kreacher to After the Horcrux was replaced, he returned home..."

"From your description, after drinking those poisons, people will feel particularly painful, especially their internal organs will feel like they are on fire, and they will be very thirsty.

Regulus was dragged into the water by the Inferi in the lake because he couldn't help but drink the water after drinking the poison. "

Eisen frowned slightly and mentioned something strange, "Since Regulus ordered Kreacher to leave, it means that he must know that Kreacher can apparate out of there. Then why didn't he let Kreacher take him with him?" Let him leave with you? I think house elves can also appear after him!"

"Yes, the magic of house elves and the magic of wizards are not the same system. Voldemort's magic cannot trap them." Dumbledore glanced at Black and sighed imperceptibly, "As for Regulus, why not Leaving with Kreacher, I think, that has something to do with Sirius."

Hearing Dumbledore's words, Black seemed to have thought of something, his expression was startled, and then he murmured, "The identities of James and Lily's secret keeper?"

"Maybe!" Dumbledore took off his glasses, wiped them with cashmere and put them back on. "In 1979, Voldemort knew about the prophecy and targeted James and Lily's family. But you said it, Lei Gulus became Voldemort's subordinate at the age of 16.

Your relationship with James and Lily is very unusual. Voldemort may think that you are their secret keeper, so he orders Regulus to deal with you, or uses Regulus as a bargaining chip to force you to reveal their hiding place— —”

"You mean, Regulus didn't want to do this, so he was willing to die?" Black's eyes became wet, and he looked at Dumbledore blankly, not knowing what to say.

"This is probably the truth -" Eisen nodded thoughtfully, "Obviously, Voldemort made a miscalculation. Regulus was never willing to fight against his brother, so he was willing to die to protect his brother. !”

Eisen doesn't know whether the truth of the matter is this.However, since Regulus is already dead, it might as well say this in front of Sirius Black to give him more good name.

For a moment, Sirius Black was quiet.Judging from his expression, he seemed to be immersed in past memories.

After a while, Blake calmed down, and then looked at Eisen with a smile on his face: "Okay, that's it. Professor Eisen, I want to ask you to take me to the cave. I want to retrieve Regulus' remains."

"Is that so?" Aisen glanced at the other party and nodded slightly without objecting.

After all, it's not that big of a deal.
