Dumbledore solemnly buried Regulus's body and made another promise.

"I swear by Dumbledore's last name that Regulus will recover."

This time, he emphasized his tone.

If Snape can do it, everyone will be happy. If he can't do it

Dumbledore still has a backup plan.

At worst... he will find Grindelwald again.

Once you step into the tower for the first time, Dumbledore found that his bottom line has quietly lowered a lot.

At least if he asks for help from Grindelwald, he will not hesitate as before.

"I will go with you." Sirius clenched his fists.

"I'm afraid not." Dumbledore shook his head and said in Sirius's disappointed eyes: "If you want to do it for Regulus's sake, you'd better not meet Snape. Otherwise, with your temper..."

Sirius lowered his head dejectedly.

Dumbledore looked at Wayne again.

To be honest, he wanted to take Wayne with him.

Although to some extent, Snape hated Wayne more than Sirius, there was one thing that could not be denied, that is, Wayne always had a way to deal with Snape.

In the "fight" between the two, Snape, as a professor, was always at a disadvantage.

But he still planned to try it himself first, and if it didn't work, he would let Wayne take action.

Suddenly, Sirius's expression changed slightly, and he coughed suddenly: "Kreacher, go prepare lunch, Wayne has just consumed a lot of magic power, and needs to eat something good to replenish his physical strength."

Wayne was confused.

Who said he wanted to eat at your place?

But Kreacher lowered his head obediently and disappeared into the living room with a snap.

After what happened just now, in the heart of this old elf, Wayne's status has surpassed Sirius's master.

"Dumbledore, you can talk now."

Sirius stared at him. It was Dumbledore who sent Kreacher away through special means just now.

"There are some things I didn't want you to know." Dumbledore looked at the note that was still tightly held in Sirius's hand with a complicated look.

"But... since you have seen Regulus's last words, it is too late to say anything. I must give you some advice in advance."

Thinking back to the contents of the last words, Lupin quickly guessed that Dumbledore was referring to...

"Horcrux?"

"Yes." Dumbledore nodded slightly: "This is Voldemort's biggest secret, and the reason why he was hit by the rebounded killing curse but did not die."

He shook his head with emotion: "Regulus's wisdom is definitely not inferior to the top Ravenclaw. With only one year of contact, he can discover the secret that Voldemort is trying so hard to..."

"This is something I haven't done."

"HorcruxI won't explain too much about what the body is, but you must keep your mouth shut about Regulus and the Horcruxes. "

"Voldemort is a confident man. He believes that no one knows the secret of the Horcruxes, and no one knows that he made the Horcruxes. This is our intelligence advantage."

Lupin and Sirius both realized the seriousness of the problem and nodded seriously.

"We will pay attention."

"That's good." Dumbledore smiled with relief: "I'll go back to school first. I'll contact you if there is any progress on Regulus. "

The three of them escorted Dumbledore out the door.

Before leaving, Dumbledore asked Wayne to inform him after dealing with the Horcruxes.

Half an hour later.

Kreacher prepared a simple lunch, and Wayne reluctantly ate a few bites.

The cooking skills were really poor.

After the meal, Sirius was about to keep Regulus's locket well, but was stopped by Wayne.

"I think you keep the parchment yourself, and as for the locket... give it to Kreacher."

"Why?" Sirius looked at him puzzled.

"After all, it was Kreacher who took care of Regulus the longest, and without him, we wouldn't know everything Regulus had done." Wayne explained: "He has the qualifications. "

Under Kreacher's expectant eyes, Sirius thought for a moment and finally agreed.

He handed over the locket.

"Kreacher, from now on, it belongs to you."

"Thank you, Master, thank you, Master Lawrence." Kreacher burst into tears and held the locket in his arms as if it were a treasure.

"Don't thank me yet, I have a few questions to ask you."

Wayne squatted down, and Kreacher looked at him in confusion.

"Do you know who killed your little master?"

"It's... It's the Dark Lord." After shrinking for a long time, Kreacher still said the name.

"Yes, it seems that your mind is not completely confused. "

Wayne continued to ask: "Although Narcissa Malfoy and Bellatrix Lestrange have been married, according to the contract between the house elves and the main house, you will still obey their orders, right?"

Kreacher nodded. Narcissa and Bella are sisters, and they are also Sirius's cousins.

Their orders are not as high as Sirius's, but Kreacher must obey them if there is no conflict.

"Wayne, isn't Bella imprisoned in Azkaban?" Sirius asked curiously.

"Only you are allowed to escape from prison, what if others also escape from prison? This is called taking precautions before it happens." Wayne said unhappily, and then continued to talk to Kreacher.

"Remember, these people are Death Eaters. Although Regulus was once one, he turned from darkness to light and became an enemy of Voldemort. ”

“Bella and Narcissa Malfoy alsoYou are the accomplice who killed him. Are you going to obey the orders of your enemy? "

Kreacher's eyes immediately showed hatred.

"Kreacher knows! Kreacher will not listen to their orders in the future!"

"No, that's not what I mean." Wayne shook his head: "I mean, if they ask you to do anything in the future, you must tell Sirius."

"Spy?" Sirius instantly understood what Wayne meant and became excited.

"That's a good idea, Kreacher. I order you. What Wayne said just now represents my meaning. You must execute it."

"Yes! ”

........

Hogwarts.

After leaving the Black family home, Dumbledore returned to school.

In fact, Dumbledore had a home in Godric's Hollow, but because many unpleasant things happened there, he had not been back for a long time.

For Dumbledore, the headmaster's office was more like his home.

Well, there was a little guy who always wanted to pry his home away.

After entering the castle, Dumbledore did not go directly back to the headmaster's office, but went to Snape's office.

Near the door, he could already vaguely hear screams coming from the house.

The old man's expression remained unchanged and he knocked on the oak door.

"Severus, do you have time now?"

The screams stopped abruptly, and Snape's faint voice came out.

"Three minutes. "

Dumbledore waited patiently.

Three minutes later, Snape opened the door and welcomed him in. Everything was normal in the room. There was no one else except Snape.

Dumbledore wisely did not mention the strange voice just now, but went straight to business.

After listening, Snape frowned: "Regulus Black..."

"I have met him several times. He has always been with Bella and her husband. He is a fanatical supporter of blood. I thought he was the most loyal servant of the Dark Lord. I didn't expect him to do such a courageous thing."

Resisting the Dark Lord is something many people dare not even think about, let alone put into practice.

Even he finally made up his mind to take revenge because of Lily's death.

"Where is the body? "Snape asked.

Dumbledore conjured up a bed and took out Regulus.

Snape began to check, his expression becoming more serious.

"It took too long to become an Inferi... If you want to recover, you need to pay a big price."

"I will pay for all the expenses." Dumbledore said without hesitation.

"Including asking Lawrence for the ashes of the Phoenix King?"

Dumbledore's mouth twitched, but he nodded.

Snape smiled with satisfaction. Although he admired Regulus, he still put forward a condition.

"The Black family should have a lot of lost potions.Formula? I need to make a copy. "

Dumbledore knew Sirius's prodigal character and agreed to it without hesitation.

"But you still have to wait. Mr. Lawrence is copying the Black family's collection of books recently."

Snape's face darkened.

How come this kid got ahead of him again!

.......

In the next few days, Snape did not start studying the Inferi immediately, but kept Regulus well first and cherished the last time with Peter.

He spent a lot of effort trying to abolish Peter Pettigrew's Animagus ability, but he failed in the end.

The relationship between magic and wizards is too strange. If Snape can do this, it is almost equivalent to turning a wizard into a squib.

However, he can control it for a period of time with some solid potions, but they must be taken regularly.

The cost of this method Too high, the Ministry of Magic refused without a second thought.

They planned to use the most traditional method and put a special collar on Peter.

As long as it detected that his body size began to change, the collar would explode without hesitation, and Peter would be wiped out.

It is not that there have been prisoners who have mastered Animagus in the past. Sirius only gave him an opportunity because he had not registered.

The day of trial.

Fudge, who had just recovered from a serious illness, had recovered a lot. Looking at Peter Pettigrew with a ball gag in his mouth, a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes.

Everything was ruined by this mouse!

Although the Daily Prophet and Witch Weekly were very respectful, Fudge was very grateful that there was no report, but he didn't know which bastard had spread the news.

In less than a day, everyone in the Ministry of Magic knew about it. And considering that almost all wizarding families were related to the Ministry of Magic...

What's the difference between this and the whole wizarding world knowing about it?

Fudge had reason to suspect that Crouch had spread the news. He was the only one who had the motive, and the two of them also had a grudge.

It must be revenge for him using Sirius's case to suddenly attack.

Fudge glared at Crouch without leaving a trace, and announced the sentence for Peter Pettigrew.

Life imprisonment in Azkaban Prison No. 3.

Hearing Many people's faces changed at this sentence.

How cruel...

The prisons in Azkaban are all guarded by Dementors, but there are still differences in general.

The higher the number, the closer the prison is to the place where Dementors usually rest.

What is the concept of prison number three?

That is no different from living in the lair of Dementors.

As for prison number one, it is purely living with Dementors. No one has ever lived there in the history of Azkaban.

It seems that Peter Pettigrew will die there in a few years.

Many people have this idea in mind, but no one speaks up for Peter Pettigrew.

For the crimes he committed, he deserved this fate.

As for Peter Pettigrew himself...

He didn't care even more.

As long as he could stay away from Snape, Dementors were nothing.

In Peter's heart now, Snape was even more terrifying than the Dark Lord...

After the verdict was announced, Fudge walked out of the courtroom without even looking at Peter Pettigrew.

The other jury members also left, and only two Aurors were left, who took Peter Pettigrew to a temporary detention place.

He would stay there for one night and would be sent to Azkaban tomorrow.

......

The next day.

A carriage was parked on the roof of a tall building.

Peter was placed in the carriage, and an iron fence was raised to isolate the inside and outside of the carriage.

Opposite Peter, there was an Auror pointing his wand at him to prevent him from making any small moves.

The Aurors in charge of escorting the prisoners all looked unhappy. New prisoners must be registered when they are sent to Azkaban, and they will inevitably come into contact with Dementors.

It can be regarded as a tough job.

Soon, six Thestrals pulled the carriage into the air, and the carriage was cast with a Disillusionment Charm, which perfectly blended into the environment.

It takes about four hours to get from London to Azkaban, and a large part of the journey is on the ocean, which is very boring.

The two Aurors were also chatting to kill time.

"What do you think Peter Pettigrew was thinking? He turned into a mouse for twelve years."

"If he escapes from Britain, he can live an easy life."

"Who knows? I feel that these people's brains are not very good. Black is the same. They are always good at making simple things complicated. Stupid Gryffindor..."

"How can you talk like that?" The companion in the carriage was unhappy. "Who said that Gryffindor is like this? If you have the guts, go and say that to Professor McGonagall?"

"Personal behavior, don't raise it to the level of the college."

After hearing Professor McGonagall's name, the Auror who was just mocking Gryffindor didn't dare to say anything more.

The weather gradually became gloomy, and heavy dark clouds covered the sky, and lightning flashed from time to time.

The sea surface of the North Sea was rough, and it seemed that in the blink of an eye, the weather became extremely bad.

The Auror driving the car frowned and shouted to the car: "Parker! Get ready, I'm going to speed up!"

"Damn the weather, it's going to rain heavily soon, we must rush through this area as soon as possible."

"Go!"

The speed of the Night Theris suddenly increased a lot, and the two Aurors outside had to put on a layer of shiny protective shield to isolate themselves from the oncoming wind and rain.

And on an isolated island not far away.

A 17 or 18-year-old, very handsome black-haired young man leaned on the reef,Staring at the sky.

When he saw the carriage appear, his eyes lit up, and he swept his wand across his body. His fitted suit instantly turned into a black hood, covering his inch-long face.

Then, he raised his wand above his head and waved it vigorously.

The thunder in the sky became more and more dazzling.

Boom!

As his wand fell, a bolt of lightning struck the carriage! .
