In the days of drawing cards at Hogwarts Chapter 175 Who said that those who stand in the light are heroes

Sirius walked to his younger brother's desk and opened the drawer at once, exposing all the quills, old textbooks, and ink bottles inside.

"Speaking of which, I still don't know why you came to study my brother's past?" he asked curiously, "and he deliberately took a leave of absence from Hogwarts."

Tom shared his "guess" with Sirius.

"Maybe he helped Voldemort save something important?" Sirius pondered for a moment: "I don't think it's very likely, because he has a weaker temperament, and I don't think he can get Lucius and Bellatrix. value."

But although he thought it was unlikely, Sirius didn't mean to be perfunctory, and he seriously rummaged through the sundries left by his younger brother.

"If we want to explore Regulus's state of mind before he died, we can try to find out if he left something like a diary." He put the clutter on the desk, stirring up a large cloud of dust.

"Could the diary be taken away by Mrs. Blake?" Hermione asked suddenly. She thought from the perspective of Sirius' mother, thinking that her child was missing, and the mother would also like to find the child. Diary to understand his state of mind.

"That's impossible, my dear mother can't do such a thing." Sirius patted his chest and said that no one here knows his mother and his brother better than him.

"That little devil's trick, but even I almost fooled me." He handed over a copy of "Advanced Potions Making" while muttering.

"What do you think of this book?"

"Uh..." Hermione looked at the shabby old textbook, and finally said, "Is it a practical book?"

Sirius was amused.

Tom took the textbook and observed it carefully, but he didn't see any problems.

"I thought you could discover the mechanism inside." Seeing that neither of them could see why, Sirius showed a disappointed expression.

"It's obviously the same kind of map as the map I made!" Sirius looked at the two with hatred, took out his wand, clicked on the title page of the textbook, and said, "Always pure!"

Under the watchful eyes of Tom and Hermione, the text on the title page of the textbook was erased little by little, and finally a line of large characters exactly the same as the bedroom door number appeared on the title page.

【Do not read without my permission】

Sirius snorted coldly: "I gave him this magic..."

As if he had guessed Sirius' reaction, a line of smaller characters appeared below the line:

[I hope my brother with a keen sense of smell will not use his sense of smell to spy on his brother's privacy]

A blue vein burst out on Sirius's head, and he could feel Snape's mood somewhat now.

"Stinky boy, it's good not to learn to learn bad." He murmured and opened Regulus' diary.

"I Have a Scroll of Ghosts and Gods"

The diary started during the summer vacation of Regulus' fifth grade. The diary of previous years, Sirius, skipped directly and turned to the last few pages.

After graduation, Regulus couldn't guarantee to write a diary every day, and the length of the diary was also very different. Sometimes it was just a sentence "I have nothing to do today", and sometimes it was a small composition.

Sirius, Tom, Hermione, and Lupin huddled together, carefully looking at Regulus' diary, looking for clues that might be helpful to them.

Reading between the lines of the diary, it is obvious that Regulus's subtle change in attitude towards Voldemort has changed. Before he graduated, he admired Voldemort and endorsed his pure-blood claims. In his eyes, Voldemort is the only savior of the wizarding world.

[Mr. Voldemort must be the savior of the wizarding world! 】

Four people present: …

"There is obviously a big problem with your family's education." Lupin said, patting Sirius on the shoulder.

"That's exactly what my parents believed." Sirius was expressionless. The Blacks, like the other pure-blood families, were big fans of Voldemort. This also means that Regulus's idea is not the absence of family education, but the origin of family education.

At the age of sixteen, Regulus joined the Death Eaters and was branded with the Dark Mark, and his parents considered him "a brave little hero".

After graduation, Regulus gradually lost his innocence. He realized that Voldemort was not his ideal savior. He began to waver on the path of the Death Eaters, but was still reluctant to rebel against other Death Eaters and Voldemort. However, he was disgusted by the behavior of many Death Eaters, writing:

【Following these insects, how can you save the magic world? 】

In the last few pages of the diary, Sirius and Tom found something they were interested in.

[…I have reservations about some of their behaviors, but I can’t stop them, so let’s just mess around! They didn't dare say much anyway - Bella is my cousin! Today the master asked me for Kreacher, which is my honor, and I lent Kreacher to him.

Wonder what he wants a house elf for? 】

[Kreacher came back suddenly, his state is very bad, Merlin is on top, what happened to him? He was so thirsty that he felt like he could drink the Black Lake at Hogwarts. 】

The next day, the notes in the diary were scribbled a lot, and it could be seen that the owner of the diary was anxious.

[Kreacher wakes up a bit, and I ask him what happened to him. Merlin! He must be crazy! It turned out that he achieved the so-called "immortality" in this way, hehe, Horcrux, hehe! I have to let Kreacher hide first, so I must not let anyone know...]

After a period of time, the content of the diary was scribbled and disorganized, and many contents were deleted and crossed out. Only one sentence was clear:

[I have made a decision, I will probably die, but I do not regret it. 】

This was the last sentence of his diary, and after that it was all blank pages.

"He decided to rebel against Voldemort and executed a plan," Hermione frowned, "but he didn't write what he was going to do."

"There are key people in there, aren't they?" Lupin tapped the name on the diary.

Sirius nodded. "Indeed," he exclaimed, "Kreacher!"

With a snap, Kreacher, the house elf who was inherited by Sirius with the house, appeared reluctantly.

After seeing where he was, Kreacher had an angry look on his face, and then he immediately lowered his head and said in a murmur, "Kreacher is preparing lunch for the young master and the guests of the young master, I didn't expect that. Master will call Kreacher to Master Regulus' bedroom, Master Regulus has passed away, and as a result, his bedroom can't be peaceful..."

"You don't have to say so much," Kreacher's words made Sirius angry again, and he interrupted Kreacher's complaint, "You just tell me what Voldemort asked you to do, and Regulus. What did you do then?"

Hearing those two names, Kreacher's body trembled twice, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, then he shook his head, staring down at his toes, not daring to look directly into Sirius' eyes.

"Master Regulus won't let Kreacher speak."

"You!" Sirius raised his eyebrows, ready to force Kreacher to speak, but Hermione stopped him.

She was half-kneeling in front of Kreacher, trying to shake its hand. However, Kreacher was very resistant to her actions. It retreated with disgust on its face. If it wasn't for Sirius' strict order, it might have started scolding.

Seeing Kreacher's reaction so fierce, Hermione sighed, but didn't insist.

"I respect your choice," she said seriously, looking at Kreacher's face, "but I guess Mr. Regulus asked you to keep it a secret to protect his family?"

"Yes, that's what the master said." Kreacher was relieved after avoiding Hermione's contact. Seeing that Hermione was willing to keep a distance from it, it began to answer Hermione's question.

Thanks to Sirius' orders, Kreacher would never have responded to such a Muggle-born witch—even if she had good intentions.

"But the current situation is that even if Sirius is already a thorn in the Dark Lord's eye, even if he doesn't know Mr. Regulus's secret, the Dark Lord has already wanted to get rid of him, and the prerequisites no longer exist." Hermione didn't mind Kreacher's ignorance, and she seriously analyzed the house-elf in front of her.

"So why not tell us the story of Mr. Regulus? Let us know what happened back then. I believe Mr. Regulus must be an extremely brave hero who did what most people would not dare to do. Isn't it a pity that no one knows about this feat now?"

Kreacher lowered his eyes and thought about it seriously, and then he realized that the hemp girl in front of him was right. This is a great time to publicize the heroic deeds of Master Regulus. As for the consequences of the leak... Kreacher really doesn't care. Master Regulus and the mistress have both passed away, even if it is told, it will not have any effect.

But there is one final hurdle.

"But that was Master Regulus' order..." it muttered in a low voice.

Sirius understood, and he immediately said with a serious face: "I am your master now, and I order you to answer truthfully."

"Yes, Master." Kreacher immediately stood at attention and replied respectfully.

Then in its low, muffled voice, it told a chilling story to everyone present.

It was one day in 1979, and Regulus found Kreacher and sent Kreacher to Voldemort. Voldemort took Kreacher into a cave. There, Voldemort used Kreacher to experiment with the guardian spell he cast on Horcruxes. According to Voldemort's vision, Kreacher must die there, but he miscalculated.

Voldemort was so arrogant that he had no regard for magical beast-like creatures like house-elves. So he overlooked one thing: house-elves do magic differently than wizards, and house-elves can Apparate in places where Apparition is forbidden.

Voldemort would never have imagined that these lowly creatures in his eyes could perform magic that he did not possess.

Kreacher said in a singing tone: "The supreme law of house-elves is the master's order. The master tells Kreacher to go home, and Kreacher goes home!"

Hermione asked gently, "And then?"

Kreacher burst into tears.

"Master Regulus took me back to the original cave..."

From Klee's incision, several people know everything.

Hermione exclaimed when she heard that Regulus chose to be the victim herself, and two lines of tears fell from the corners of her eyes.

she cried.

Hermione wanted to hug the poor house-elf, but didn't dare. Lupin lowered his head, staring at the pattern on the carpet. As for Sirius, he seemed a little touched. Before that, he had never seen Kreacher as a creature with the same emotions as a human being, but today there is a crack in his conception.

"He's a hero." Tom commented on the side, winning everyone's approval.

Yes, Regulus is a brave hero. He may not have stood in the light and won flowers and applause like the members of the Order of the Phoenix, but he was undoubtedly a brave man.

"Where is that locket?" Sirius asked in a hoarse voice. "Leave it to me, and I'll handle it."

"Master Regulus wants to destroy it..."

"I'll destroy it, I promise you."

Kreacher stopped crying, stood up staggeringly, and disappeared with a snap. After more than ten seconds, it came back, holding a silver oval locket in its hand.

Tom was all excited when he saw the locket: this was Voldemort's last Horcrux.

The expressions of the other three also became extremely serious. In previous conversations, they already knew that this was the mysterious man's Horcrux.

I got this Horcrux today~www.novelbuddy.com~ It is definitely a great achievement! Will bring a heavy blow to Voldemort!

The locket is very valuable at first sight: its chain is made of pure gold, and the letter "s" made of emeralds on the surface of the box gives a noble and mysterious feeling. The first time they saw it, everyone believed that this was the treasure Voldemort wanted to hide.

"Very good, very good!" Sirius snatched the locket from Kreacher excitedly. "It should be handed over to Dumbledore!"

"Yes, we will take this locket with us when we go back to school." Tom took the locket from Sirius and carefully weighed the Horcrux and Slytherin's relics.

Apart from its gorgeous appearance, the locket didn't seem to be anything special, but when he got it in his hands, Tom felt a gloomy emotion brewing in his chest.

He had an intuition that if he kept wearing this locket, it might have a subtle negative impact on his emotions.

"Mission accomplished!" Sirius, who found the locket, was very happy, "Have lunch here and then go back!"

He invited Tom and Hermione to stay for dinner and then go back.
