A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 308: Voldemort’s mistake
, update the latest chapter of a certain Hogwarts rune professor as soon as possible!
The terrain of the seaside is abruptly high, and under the washing of the seawater, a black section is exposed, forming a cliff that hangs straight down.
The waves hit the reef, stirring up white foam and making a huge roar.
"Boom!"
On the exposed rock, three people suddenly appeared, two big and one small, one of them was trembling and almost fell down.
"Dragging you to Apparate is like dragging a mountain, Felix," panted Sirius.
"Forgive me, maybe I have too many magic items on me." Felix said unnaturally, there are more than a dozen dementors hidden in his ring, and these prisoners were crowded together In a small mezzanine, without any magical isolation, Sirius is equivalent to Apparating with a group of people.
Only then did they have time to observe the surrounding environment. The black and abrupt cliff, the sea with surging waves on one side, and the mountain winding down on the other, Felix opened his eyes and vaguely saw the a village.
Besides that, the surroundings are bare and desolate, except for the vast sea and rocks, there is not a single tree, no grass and sand.
Sirius pointed to a reef in the sea, "The entrance of the cave is directly below the cliff, and we can't see it now. We can apparate to that rock for a while..."
"Let's go."
With Felix leading them this time, they quickly jumped to the edge of a narrow gap at the bottom of the cliff, and when the rolled up sea water passed their feet, they took a few steps forward.
Soon, the crevice turned into a dark tunnel, and the rock walls covered with sticky mud were two or three feet away from them. A salty, rotten taste.
"It was brought in by the sea at high tide." Sirius said, raising his glowing magic wand, kicking a fish in front of them away, together with small stones, bumping into a place blocking the way "I cleaned it up before, but it reappeared within a few days."
Felix looked at the rock wall carefully. From the black and white perspective, powerful magic was superimposed on the dark rock wall, and he smelled a powerful curse.
It can be seen that Voldemort is very good at magic such as curses.
"I was blocked here. When I asked Kreacher, he didn't know. When he and Regulus came, they didn't encounter this wall..." Sirius explained.
"Kreacher, I remember you came twice?" Felix asked softly, groping for the magic on the rock wall.
"Yes, yes, Mr Hape," said Kreacher, with a look of horror on his face, "the first time Master Regulus approached Kreacher and said that the Dark Lord needed an elf... ...This is an honor, Master Regulus let Kreacher complete the task assigned by the Dark Lord, and then... go, go home."
"Kreacher came here with the Dark Lord. He didn't encounter a rock wall. He came directly to a large black lake. There was a boat... There was a stone basin on the island, which was filled with potions. The Dark Lord forced Kreacher drank..."
"Kreacher recalled a lot of horrible things, the memory of being punished, the hallucination of being kicked out... the internal organs seemed to be on fire... Kreacher begged the Dark Lord, but he just laughed and made me drink up the magic Medicine..."
Sirius was silent. He had heard this story once, but he still didn't like it. Felix said softly: "Test, he's testing his protection."
"Kreacher felt that he was going to die, the Dark Lord left Kreacher, and left alone by boat... But Kreacher remembered the master's order and wanted to go back, go home, Regulus found Kreacher, he I was very worried, so I hid Kreacher and took care of me alone..."
said the house-elf, sobbing.
"After a while, Master Regulus came to Kreacher... At night, his attitude was very strange. I know he was very upset during that time, as if he was worried about something...Young Master's name is Kreacher Che took him to the cave, but we still didn’t meet the rock wall at that time, we boarded the boat, came to the small island in the lake, and then..."
Sirius clenched his fists tightly. He knew what happened later. Regulus drank the potion himself and asked Kreacher to return home. He destroyed the locket - the Horcrux.
And Regulus himself was dragged into the water by the corpse in the black lake...
Felix was also moved by this past event. It is hard to imagine that a pure-blood would give up his life for a house-elf, but he is also contradictory. He once fanatically followed Voldemort and sincerely believed that Voldemort could bring wizards better life.
"My brother - Regulus, he was still young at the time, he believed Voldemort's lies, he was only eighteen years old..." Sirius said hoarsely, "What a fool."
Water drops dripped down from the entrance of the cave, covering up the sound of Sirius' inhalation. Felix pretended to be interested in the magic on the rock wall, watching intently, and did not speak for a long time. After a long time——
"Voldemort is quite confident. When he added the outermost protective measures later, he didn't check--"
"No, Mr. Hype, Master Regulus forged a locket, a fake... when he came, when he drank the potion, he threw it in, and let the potion I didn't pass it again..."
"Well," said Felix softly, "that makes sense, he missed an opportunity to correct his mistake."
Sirius asked: "How should we pass this rock wall? I tried some magic, but none of them worked, and the closer I got, the more the spellcasting was disturbed. You see——"
He pointed his wand at the rock wall, and a very thin spell flew from the tip of the wand, and the outline of an arch appeared on the rock wall, emitting a dazzling white light, as if there was a strong light behind the crack. But soon, the outline disappeared, and the rock was still as hard and thick as before, with nothing on it.
"My opinion is that the walls of the rock hide malevolent thoughts - it is a very rare curse that makes visitors pay the price, weakens ourselves, and Voldemort wants us to paint the walls with magical blood. But," Felix said contemptuously with a sarcastic expression, "everything he's doing is useless... We have a better way~IndoMTL.com~Felix takes off the ring and puts aside the conch shell On, said gently: "Kreacher, would you like to help us get there? "
Kreacher looked at him in surprise, "I, can I? I'm just a humble servant who obeys orders—"
"No, Kreacher, in some ways, you are better than Voldemort."
Kreacher stared, his bat-like ears twitched restlessly, and he didn't even have a decent dress, but he was told that he was superior to the Dark Lord whom so many feared.
"Will you, Kreacher? Do your part for Regulus?"
"Of course! Kreacher is willing!"
Kreacher held out a trembling hand, Felix took it, and then the old, wrinkled house-elf looked expectantly at Sirius, and Sirius held out his hand.
The next second, the three of them disappeared in front of the rock wall.
