Chapter 610: Capturing Sirius
"The Horcrux is fake. There is no soul fragment in it at all."

When Zhou Ming said this, Dumbledore's brows frowned instantly.

"How is this possible? Tom has set up so many levels, why would he do something like this?"

Dumbledore was puzzled.

Based on his understanding of Voldemort, if Voldemort didn't want people to find the Horcrux from the beginning, he could have just hidden it in a corner. There are plenty of such places all over the world. Given the strength of the Horcrux and Voldemort's power, he has countless ways to prevent Dumbledore from finding the whereabouts of the Horcrux.

But he didn't do that, and that's due to Voldemort's unique mentality.

He is very afraid of death, that's for sure, otherwise he wouldn't have created the Horcrux. He is extremely afraid of death and will try every means to keep himself alive.

At the same time, he is extremely conceited and firmly believes that he is better than Dumbledore and his strength has surpassed Dumbledore, so he will deliberately leave loopholes and set up various levels for Dumbledore to decipher.

He felt that this would prove that he had defeated Dumbledore, and it would be best if Dumbledore could die directly in these levels.

In short, it was this complicated mentality that made him behave like this.

At the same time, with Voldemort's arrogant mentality, it is impossible for him to place a fake Horcrux here after setting up numerous obstacles. This does not fit his mentality of wanting to fight Dumbledore from a distance.

So at this moment Dumbledore was completely unable to understand what Voldemort was trying to do.

"Wait, there's something in the locket!"

Zhou Ming suddenly "exclaimed", opened the pendant box, and took out a note from it.

Open it and take a look.

"To the Dark Lord: I know that I will be dead by the time you read this letter, but I want you to know that it was I who discovered your secret, and I have taken the real Horcrux and destroyed it as soon as possible.

I risked my life for you, but I was only a flesh-and-blood mortal when I met my opponent.

RAB"

"RAB?"

Dumbledore was stunned when he saw the signature. After recalling it in his mind, he quickly locked on the possible target.

"Regulus Black, the young Death Eater!"

"It seems that he has betrayed Voldemort."

Zhou Ming shook the note and said with a playful expression.

"..."

Dumbledore's expression was very complicated.

Of course he remembered the young man.

Unlike his brother Sirius Black, Regulus was a Slytherin when he was in school and was the most staunch supporter of the pure-blood theory.

When Sirius Black turned against the family, entered Gryffindor, mixed with a group of Muggles and half-bloods, and was subsequently expelled from the family, he became the only hope of the Black family.

And he did not disappoint his family. He implemented the will of the pure-blood faction very well, and became one of the first wizards to join the Death Eaters during the rise of Voldemort.

In Dumbledore's opinion, although Regulus was not as cruel as those old pure-bloods, he was definitely not a decent person. But now it seems that he knew too little about him.

"Well, since this fake Horcrux was actually placed there by this Regulus, then the real Horcrux should have been hidden by him. It says here that he will find a way to destroy the Horcrux... Professor, do you think he can do it?"

Zhou Ming asked knowingly.

"do not know."

Dumbledore shook his head. "Horcruxes are the highest level of dark magic creations. It would be great if they could be destroyed so easily. However, I roughly know where the real Horcruxes are."

The Black house is located in Grimmauld Place, London. This is where the Black family has lived for generations, but it is protected by strict magic. People who don’t know where the house is will never be able to find it, even if they pass by it.

Including the Muggle residents on both sides, no one knew that there was a house hidden here.

So even though he already knew the location of the Horcrux, Dumbledore was temporarily helpless because he only knew that there was such a house, but due to magic, he couldn't find it directly.

"It seems that Sirius Black is very important. He should be the only heir of the Black family at present, right?"

Zhou Ming asked.

"Yes, he is the only heir. If he dies, others with Black blood can inherit the title, but he is still alive and has escaped from prison."

Dumbledore nodded, his expression somewhat heavy.

"Then find him. Everyone thinks he will come to trouble Harry. Why not just put him in Hogwarts?"

"You mean..."

"He is wandering outside. If he does not show up, no one can find him. But if he has a target, he will be exposed soon. Hogwarts is your home ground. Do you think it is possible for such a big living person to break in without being discovered?"

Zhou Ming said with a smile.

In fact, in the original book, Sirius was able to enter Hogwarts many times, and although he found many unknown secret passages, in the final analysis, Dumbledore did not really kill him.

After all, he had such a good relationship with James and others back then, but later he suddenly betrayed them and defected to the enemy. This change was something no one could have predicted.

It's hard to say what Dumbledore was thinking when everyone was convinced that Sirius was a traitor.

Therefore, Zhou Ming has reason to speculate that in the original book, Dumbledore actually deliberately took this opportunity to play a trick of luring the enemy into a trap, and only in this way could Sirius Black appear on his own initiative.

The most dangerous enemy is always an unknown enemy, but an enemy with a position, a target and exposed to the sun is not so dangerous.

"You have a point. This can indeed lure him out, but Harry will be in danger..."

"Professor, I need to remind you that although Harry is important, it is more important to kill Voldemort. And don't forget that Harry is also one of the Horcruxes. This problem must be solved in the end. If this is not solved, even if we kill Voldemort, he can be resurrected from Harry's body.

So if you really have to, you can kill Harry directly. If you really can't do it, you can leave it to me. My goal is to save the world and countless people. I don't have any psychological burden to kill one or two people for this."

"..."

These words immediately made Old Deng very confused.

Kill Harry? How can this be possible...

"Of course, this is the last resort. If possible, I also hope that Harry can live well. And even if Sirius is sent to Hogwarts, it does not mean that Harry will be in danger. With you and other professors in the school, and me here, Sirius will not be able to cause any trouble.

And I think I need to reveal some news to you first. Hermione has made great progress this holiday. A very, very great improvement. If a wizard who is weak and hasn't fought with anyone for a long time, even an adult wizard, is not necessarily her opponent. "

Of course, the prerequisite is that it has to be someone like Sirius. As long as the situation is slightly better, even if it is an adult wizard like Lupin who lives in a very difficult situation, it is not something that Hermione can handle now.

But no matter what, with so many layers of protection, at least there is no need to worry about Harry dying on the spot when he meets Sirius.

"I understand. I will push this matter forward. You also have to pay attention to it. It would be best if you could find a way to get the real Horcrux... I'm actually a little curious. If you are someone like me, would that kind of concealment magic work on you?"

Dumbledore was clearly looking for other solutions.

"Yes, but the effect will be very limited. However, the prerequisite is that you have to take me to the right place. Otherwise, it will be like looking for a needle in a haystack. It will take many years to find the Horcrux." Of course he knew the location of the Black house, but he did not intend to find the Horcrux immediately. At the very least, he had to clear Sirius first.

This is also because he really doesn't know where the big dog is at the moment, otherwise he would just pull him out directly.

The two of them agreed and soon returned to Hogwarts.

Dumbledore immediately set about relaxing the school's defenses to see if he could lure Sirius out.

Dumbledore also expressed his opinion on this matter, thinking that it might not be so easy to succeed.

However, the reality is that Dumbledore was soon slapped in the face.

A week later, on an ordinary afternoon, Hermione and her classmate finished their Care of Magical Creatures class. On their way back to the common room, they were discussing how unreasonable Hagrid's class arrangement was and how stupid Malfoy's provocative behavior was, when Hermione suddenly saw a big black dog by the Black Lake.

Especially the big black dog that was staring straight at Harry.

"Harry, is that the black dog you mentioned earlier?"

Hermione suddenly asked, pointing at the big black dog.

Harry glanced over and his expression changed immediately.

"Yes, that's it, but how did it suddenly appear here..."

"Never mind! Let's catch it first!"

Zhou Ming had told her more than once that Sirius might attack Harry at any time, so Hermione's vigilance had been stretched to the limit in recent times.

If she still hesitated now when there was something so obviously unusual happening around Harry, she would not be a Gryffindor.

So the next second, the three of them ran towards the big black dog in unison. The big black dog also realized something was wrong and turned around and ran away.

The three people, one dog and one child, quickly entered the Forbidden Forest. Fearing that they would be lost, Hermione tapped the corner of her eye with her wand. Then, the world in front of her became a world of black, white and gray. At the same time, many red spots of light appeared in her sight, and the one in front was the largest and most conspicuous.

Infrared vision is one of the spells she learned from Zhou Ming during this holiday.

"I've got my eyes on him!"

Hermione screamed and at the same time shot a magic firework into the sky.

The fireworks exploded, this was the agreement between her and Zhou Ming.

"You, what spell did you use?"

Harry asked breathlessly.

"I'll explain it to you in a minute. Hurry up, it's about to run away!"

"But, but I can't run any more..."

Harry gasped.

"Then I won't care about you guys anymore. I'll go after them myself..."

"Don't take any chances, Hermione. Leave the rest to me."

A figure suddenly appeared beside Hermione. It was Zhou Ming. He smiled at Hermione, and his body became illusory again and disappeared in an instant.

The next second, a red light burst out from the woods in the distance, accompanied by a burst of dog screams.

Hermione and the other two immediately gritted their teeth and quickened their pace. When they arrived at the scene, they discovered that the person lying on the ground was not a big dog at all, but a living person.

"It's Sirius!"

Hermione exclaimed.

Harry's expression changed, and he raised his wand to go forward and kill the other person.

Zhou Ming waved his wand without even looking, and suddenly a dozen vines emerged from the ground and tied Harry tightly.

"Don't be impulsive. Even if you want to execute him, it shouldn't be you who does it, Harry. The wizarding world has laws."

Zhou Ming glanced at Harry indifferently.

"Woooo~oooo!"

Harry struggled violently, but it was completely useless; he couldn't break free from the vines.

Ron was startled and subconsciously took two steps back. He wanted to run but didn't dare to, which was quite funny to see.

Because of the magic fireworks, other professors arrived at the scene soon.

"Is it really him?"

Dumbledore looked at Black, his expression becoming increasingly gloomy.

Sirius fell into the trap, doesn't this mean that he was coming for Harry?

"It's not that simple, Professor. I found something interesting in his brain. Don't resist. I'll show you first."

Zhou Ming smiled and casually scattered a cloud of white mist, which drifted in the woods and then entered everyone's nasal cavity.

Yes, everyone, including Hermione, Harry and Ron. Zhou Ming was very fair this time and did not hide anything on purpose.

A group of people fell into a semi-sleeping state at the same time and began to watch Sirius's memories. This was a spell with an effect similar to that of the Pensieve, but it did not require the direct use of the Pensieve. It could be considered a small spell developed by Zhou Ming.

Not long after, everyone woke up, and everyone's expressions became extremely complicated.

"He…she didn't betray Lily and James."

Lupin was the first to lose his temper. He let out a low cry, ran forward and began to check on Sirius.

"Everyone misunderstood him, but why didn't he explain it back then?"

Professor McGonagall was puzzled.

Dumbledore shook his head.

"Maybe it's because he feels sorry for James and Lily..."

"Hmph, boring feelings."

Snape snorted coldly, turned around and walked away without staying for a second.

Harry had calmed down by now. He blinked and looked at Zhou Ming innocently. Zhou Ming smiled and untied the vines on him.

Harry stood up and did not continue to pounce on Sirius. Instead, he looked at him with a complicated expression.
