A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 310: The evil of the Horcrux
, update the latest chapter of a certain Hogwarts rune professor as soon as possible!
Old Black House.
Sirius, Felix, and Dumbledore sat in three seats respectively, and the atmosphere in the room was very dignified.
“He needs a funeral,” insisted Sirius.
“I completely agree that Regulus is a hero – he also saved an innocent life and has a heart of gold… fully deserving of the honor.” Dumbledore said gently: ” However, we cannot disclose the existence of Horcruxes, that would cause a lot of trouble.”
His eyes cast on the long sofa through the half-moon lens. Beside Sirius, a young man was lying quietly, with his hands folded in front of his chest. His black curly hair was loose, as if he was asleep. .
The appearance of Regulus is very similar to that of his brother, especially the side profile, like a young Sirius who has not endured twelve years in prison. His age is always fixed at eighteen years old, but But it has accomplished things that many people would never be able to do in their lifetime.
“Why – I don’t understand!”
Sirius feels that his brother’s honor has been stolen, and he deserves more, such as a grand funeral. White marble coffins, garlands and green grass, read the life and glory of Regulus Arcturus Black in front of everyone, and everyone praised him for his outstanding contributions…
Resisting Voldemort and sacrificing his life to take away the Horcruxes was an important part of his achievements, and he wanted everyone to know this.
“Sirius,” Dumbledore said in a deep voice, “I have been trying to avoid the spread of this evil magic, even if it is just a name. Imagine when people know that there is such a magic, they only need to Simple killing – please forgive my wording, for some people, this is indeed an easy thing – they can touch immortality, what a bargain!”
“I don’t think—”
“That’s you, Sirius, no one will deny your courage and belief, if one day Voldemort returns, will you pick up the wand again?”
“Of course! I will fight to the end!” Sirius said without thinking.
“That’s it,” said Dumbledore, “but can you face death calmly?”
“I will not cut my soul, Dumbledore!”
“Of course you won’t,” Dumbledore said reassuringly, “but what if an extreme situation occurs, and the person you value is dying, or is certain to die, and you desperately want to keep him… At this time, when you If you hear a magic that can bring you back from the dead, do you still care if it is evil or not?”
Sirius hesitated. At this moment, the faces of several people flashed in front of his eyes. He had already lost too much, and he really didn’t want the same thing to happen again.
“People will flock to find out the secrets of Horcruxes by all means – selfish dark wizards for themselves, honest people for family and friends, brave Aurors for comrades-in-arms, despicable careerists for eternal power …Think about it, Sirius, what a terrifying scene it was!”
Sirius panted heavily, thinking of that terrible scene, his reason had already been convinced, but he still felt sorry.
After a while, he said hoarsely: “Then, then—”
Felix, who was quiet for a long time, interjected: “We can arrange for Regulus to become a member of the Order of the Phoenix, in the name of being an undercover agent, so as to restore his reputation…”
“No, Felix, I don’t want to do that.” Sirius refused, “Reculus is a lone warrior, and I want people to know what he showed when he made the difficult decision to fight Voldemort.” Incredible courage.” He looked at Dumbledore, “Then let’s not mention the Horcruxes, but at least don’t ignore his actions against Voldemort, okay?”
Dumbledore nodded and said: “I would like to announce this at the funeral.”
“Thank you…” Sirius said, in the absence of witnesses, in order to prevent the funeral from turning into a self-talking joke, there must be someone who is prestigious enough to personally affirm Regulus’ contribution , and Dumbledore is the best candidate.
He will put his reputation on one end of the balance, testify for the descendants of the Black family who were once Death Eaters and disappeared without a trace, and lift him up…
As for Sirius himself, many people still don’t know the news of his redress. If he suddenly appeared in Diagon Alley, there would definitely be screams of fear.
“Then, I, uh,” Sirius said slowly, “I’ll figure out the process, I’ll do it myself, and I’ll also figure out the list of invitations to attend the funeral—” He suddenly showed a disgusted expression, and muttered: “There are not many good people among my relatives.”
“I could invite some friends, Sirius,” said Felix.
“Thank you, thank you.” Sirius said: “Although my brother is not qualified and has been imprisoned for more than ten years, the surname Black is worth their trip.”
“The influence of the pure-blood family is manifested at this time.” He said without emotion, making it difficult to tell whether it was pride or ridicule, and he whispered: “Just this time…”
Dumbledore bid farewell, and the fire in the fireplace lit up.
“Wait a minute, Headmaster Dumbledore, let’s go,” said Felix, rising to his feet. “By the way—”
Felix took out a locket from his pocket. He was holding a gold chain, and the locket trembled.
“This is the fake Horcrux I took out from the stone basin. I took a look at it, and there is no other magic attached to it. There is only a note left by Regulus inside.”
Sirius reached out to take it. This fake locket was made by Regulus according to Kreacher’s description, and Kreacher had just glanced at it at the time, so this imitation is not qualified-not only the size is not right , not even the “S” symbol that symbolizes Salazar Slytherin.
He mechanically opened the lid of the locket, and there was only a small piece of folded parchment inside. He opened it and took a look, his eyes instantly became moist, and he tremblingly read the words on it——
“To the Dark Lord
I will be dead by the time you read this, but I want you to know: I discovered your secret. I have taken the real Horcrux and intend to destroy it as soon as possible.
I’d rather die if you meet a mortal man of flesh and blood when you hit your opponent.
R.A.B.”
Kreacher groaned and fell to the ground.
Dumbledore sighed, turned and walked into the fireplace, and Felix followed suit. In the office of the ancient magic text professor, the two had a brief conversation.
“Do you think some of my actions are unreasonable, Felix?” Dumbledore showed a tired expression.
“You just need to consider too many things, weigh the pros and cons, and plan the overall situation… Albus.”
Dumbledore glanced at him in surprise, and he showed a relaxed smile: “Let’s talk about something happy, well, I need to express my thanks, actually, apart from Hao Qi’s line, I have also been investigating Voldemort The Wu’s Orphanage where I lived in my childhood has been demolished because of its age.
But I never gave up. Without you, maybe I would have encountered that cave. “
Felix smiled: “With your magic power, you will definitely be able to crack his secret… But there is one thing worth noting, I found that Voldemort is very good at cursing, and he is used to linking curses with human desires. “
Dumbledore nodded slightly: “It is indeed worth noting that he may take advantage of people’s weaknesses and set up traps.”
Finally, Dumbledore told Felix that he had to stop disclosing the existence of the Horcrux for the same reason as when he persuaded Sirius, and Felix didn’t think it was alarmist.
“Then Harry…”
“I’ve already talked to him,” Dumbledore said with a troubled expression, “he and his friends wanted to find out more secrets about Horcruxes, and they wanted to ask Alma about it. I found ~IndoMTL.com~ Felix is also very dangerous in secret, he himself is not interested in Horcruxes at all, and he didn’t expect the possible consequences pointed out by Dumbledore. In addition, Harry was destined to confront Voldemort, so he There is no psychological burden to disclose this part of the information.
It is estimated that Harry did not think of this, so he decided to ask Mrs. Alma Pince, the librarian.
…
The next time passed quickly, and it came to June in a blink of an eye. At the beginning of the month, Felix invigilated the final exams for the third, fourth, and sixth grades, and watched the wizarding level exams for the new year——O.W.Ls and N.E.W.Ts.
The examiners sent by the Wizarding Examination Bureau were still the same group as last year. After the exams were over, the fifth and seventh grade students had fun, celebrating their escape from a year of purgatory.
The week before the end of the school year, Felix held his last rune club assembly of the term.
All the members of the club are very excited, because there is an open secret that has been circulating among them for a long time, and Professor Hai Pu plans to teach them an ancient magic!
