Just a Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor

v2 Chapter 381: Regulus

The latest website: "Voldemort has set a magic here, either drink the poison in the stone basin, and when he gets the Horcrux, he will also want to drink the water in the lake because of thirst, and is dragged to the surface by the Inferi, or If you leave here without doing anything, you will still face the attacks of these monsters."

Dumbledore, who was still in the state of a crow, looked at the Infernal corpses that had been blocked in the sea of ​​flames, and said softly.

The wands floating around Sherlock drifted back to their original positions, and he pouted.

"Such a method is really low-level, and it doesn't look like it was designed by a wizard with a brain."

Dumbledore the Raven chuckled.

"Riddle is smart, but in some ways he does have obvious shortcomings, and that's why it's possible to find a way to deal with him."

While they were talking, the boat finally reached the shore, and after the bow docked, Dumbledore flapped his wings and flew off Sherlock's shoulders, turning back into human form.

The two did not continue to stay in the cave. After returning to the original road and leaving here, they directly used Apparition to return to No. 12 Grimmauld Place.

They had been in the cave for a day, and when they arrived at No. 12 Grimmauld Place, the sky was completely dark.

"Today's opening dinner looks like we are doomed to miss it."

Dumbledore waved to the air as he spoke, and the next second, a golden light flashed in front of him, and Fox appeared in the golden light and landed on his shoulder.

He waved his wand at will, conjured up a piece of parchment and a quill, and quickly wrote a short letter and handed it to Fox.

"Go and give it to Minerva, she'll know what to do."

After arranging the school affairs, he and Sherlock walked into the inner room from the hall.

Someone in the room heard the movement, and Mrs. Weasley came out with a look of surprise.

"Dumbledore, and Sherlock... aren't you supposed to be at the opening dinner now?"

"We have more important things to deal with."

Dumbledore briefly explained to her, and then asked solemnly.

"Have you seen Kreacher, Molly?"

Although Mrs. Weasley was a little unclear, she could see that his expression was not joking.

"I saw him cleaning on the third floor just now, sir, where should he be now."

"Thank you very much, and the pie you made yesterday was delicious."

Dumbledore and Sherlock brushed past Mrs Weasley and they came to the third floor.

As soon as they walked out of the corner of the stairs, they saw the skinny house-elf, muttering something disgusting, while sweeping the floor.

Sherlock and the others made loud noises going upstairs. When they appeared, Kreacher was already staring at the corner of the stairs with those big eyes that seemed to pop out of their sockets.

Looking at Dumbledore's eyes, Kreacher's eyes were obviously bored, but the order that Sirius gave him made him have to salute the old man.

"gentlemen."

Dumbledore didn't show that eagerness. He looked at Kreacher with a calm and gentle gaze, no different from when he faced other wizards.

"Kreacher, can I talk to you?" Valley Furnace

Faced with his request, Kreacher showed some resistance.

"I still have work to do, sir, and I need to clean up here..."

"It won't take long, I want to talk to you about Regulus," Dumbledore said, staring into the elf's eyes.

When Kreacher heard the name of Regulus, his body trembled visibly.

His eyes, which were already big enough, opened wider.

"Ray, Master Regulus?"

Dumbledore nodded, his deep blue eyes revealing solemnity and respect.

"Yes, Regulus Black."

Kreacher finally agreed to Dumbledore's request to talk. He put down his work and sat at a square table on the third floor.

Sherlock didn't say anything. In terms of communication, it was more appropriate for Dumbledore to speak.

"We just got back from a cave," Dumbledore said.

Kreacher looked at him eagerly, with shock, unease, and fear in his eyes.

"Karl, karst cave? A karst cave with a big lake?"

"There is indeed a lake in it, and there is a stone platform with a stone basin in the center of the lake. We used some means to see some things in the past. In that story, there were two Two times, Kreacher, both times with different people."

Kreacher's body trembled even more. He seemed to recall some terrible past, and his big eyes were completely filled with fear.

"I...Master Regulus...and that person..."

He stammered, and his voice was clearly crying, but he could only say a few simple words.

Dumbledore did not urge or say anything to force him, but placed a teacup in front of Kreacher and poured him a cup of tea.

The nature of house-elf made Kreacher instinctively terrified. He looked at the cup of tea, and his eyes were already misty, but now he was even more nervous.

"If you don't mind, talk to us about your experience."

Kreacher was already sobbing softly, and he was so emotional that he seemed to be speechless.

In this way, Dumbledore and Sherlock waited quietly, and after about ten minutes, the old house elf finally calmed down.

"Master Regulus was sixteen when he joined the Dark Lord's organization. He was so proud, so proud, so happy. Especially after Sirius left, he became a woman. The owner's only pride."

"One day, a year later, Master Regulus came to visit Kreacher in the kitchen. Master Regulus has always liked Kreacher, and Master Regulus said...he said...Lord Dark Lord needs an elf. "

Sherlock and Dumbledore looked at each other, and when they heard this, they basically guessed that in the cave, they saw what the picture of Voldemort and Kreacher came there.

Afterwards, along with Kreacher's remarks, they also completely figured out everything that happened.

Just as they guessed, Regulus, who was originally a loyal follower of Voldemort, discovered his true face and finally chose to resist.

He learned from Kreacher that Voldemort had hidden a very important thing in the cave, so he went with him to exchange the locket, and he drank the poison in the stone basin and died in the cave. bottom of the lake.
