A certain Hogwarts rune professor

Chapter 312 Horcrux Evil
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 mildly, "However, we The existence of Horcruxes cannot be disclosed, and that would cause a lot of trouble."

His gaze was cast on the long sofa through the half-moon lens. Beside Sirius, a young man was lying quietly, with his hands folded on his chest, his curly black hair 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 12 years in prison. Things that can't be done.

"Why—I don't understand!"

Sirius felt that his brother's honor had been stolen and that he deserved more, such as a grand funeral.White marble coffin, garlands and green grass, in front of the crowd, read the life and glory of Regulus Arcturus Black, and everyone praised his outstanding contribution...

Resisting Voldemort and taking the Horcrux with his life was an important part of his merits, and he wanted everyone to know this.

"Sirius," said Dumbledore in a deep voice, "I have been trying to avoid the spread of this evil magic as much as possible, even if it is just a name. Imagine when people know that there is such a magic, all it takes is a simple killing ——Excuse my wording, for some people, this is really a simple thing—they can touch immortality, what a bargain!"

"I don't think—"

"That's you, Sirius. No one will deny your courage and conviction. If Voldemort returns one day, 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 are you ready to face death?"

"I will not cut my own 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 hear a Magic that can bring back the dead, do you still care whether 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 Just think, Sirius, what a dreadful scene it was!"

Sirius panted heavily, thinking of that terrible scene, his reason had already been convinced, but he still couldn't let it go.

After a while, he said hoarsely, "Then, then—"

Felix, who was quiet for a while, 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. "Regulus is a lone warrior, and I want people to know the incredible courage he displayed when he made the difficult decision to fight Voldemort." ’” He looked at Dumbledore, “Then leave out the Horcruxes, but at least don’t ignore his actions against Voldemort, will you?”

Dumbledore nodded and said, "I'd love to announce that 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 with sufficient prestige to personally affirm Regulus' contribution, and Deng Bullido is the best candidate.

He will put his reputation on one end of the scale, testify to 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.

"So, I, uh," Sirius said slowly, "I'll figure out the process, I'll do it myself, and I'll make sure the list of invitations to the funeral—" He suddenly showed disgust, and muttered, "My There are not many good people among those 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 lit up in the fireplace.

"Wait a minute, Headmaster Dumbledore, let's go," said Felix, rising to his feet. "correct--"

Felix took out a locket from his pocket, and he held the gold chain, and the locket trembled.

"This is the fake Horcrux I took out from the stone basin. I took a look, 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 only glanced at it at the time, so the imitation was not qualified-not only the size was wrong, but even Neither does the "S" symbol for 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 out the words on it——

"To the Dark Lord

I will be dead when you read this, but I want you to know: I found out your secret.I have taken the real Horcrux and intend to destroy it as soon as possible.

I'd rather die if you met a mortal man of flesh and blood when you hit your opponent.

RAB"

Kreacher groaned and fell to the ground.

Dumbledore sighed, turned and walked into the fireplace, and Felix followed.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 gratitude, actually, apart from Hao Qi's line, I have also been investigating Voldemort's childhood life Wu's Orphanage, but because of its age, it has been demolished.

But I never gave up, if not for 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 people's desires."

Dumbledore nodded slightly: "It is indeed worth noting that he may take advantage of people's weaknesses and set up traps."

In the end, 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 distressed expression, "He and his friends wanted to find out more secrets about Horcruxes, and they wanted to ask Alma about it, but luckily I found out ahead of time. "

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 is destined to confront Voldemort, so he didn't have any psychology when he revealed this part of the information. burden.

Probably Harry didn't think of this either, so he decided to ask Mrs. Alma Pince, the librarian.

……

The next time passed quickly, and it came to June in the 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 - OWLs and NEWTs.

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 a lot of fun, celebrating their escape from a year of purgatory.

A week before the end of the school year, Felix held the 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 Haipu is going to teach them an ancient magic!
