The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

Looking at Kreacher's appearance, Link frowned even more.

Kreacher, who was currently under the control of the Imperius Curse, followed his order and led him to the room where Regulus' relics were piled up, but as a result, Slytherin's locket was not found here.

So where else could it be?

Link rubbed his chin and began to pace around the room.

Although due to such a long time, his memory of this plot has been blurred.

But when he was reminded of the current situation, he vaguely remembered that in the original book, Harry and the others seemed not to have found the Slytherin pendant in No. 12 Grimmauld Place.

In other words, Slytherin's pendant did exist in No. 12 Grimmauld Place for a period of time, but after Sirius died, it was taken away by a thief in the Order of the Phoenix along with the treasures accumulated by the Black family over hundreds of years. Stolen.

Could it be that the thief's theft had actually started now and he had already stolen the pendant?

Link slowly shook his head.

He didn't think it was possible.

You must know that it has only been a few months since No. 12 Grimmauld Place actually became the base of the Order of the Phoenix. Before Sirius died, and the main force of the Order of the Phoenix gathered here because they wanted to protect Harry, they could not kill the thief. Wouldn't have the guts to commit theft.

If that's the case, does that mean Kreacher lied?

Link looked at Kreacher again, who still looked like he was under the control of the Imperius Curse.

However, Link knew that his own level of the Imperius Curse was actually not very high.

Among the three unforgivable curses, the Imperius Curse is the only control and bewitchment spell. It is actually much more difficult to learn than the direct curses such as the Death Curse and the Cruciatus Curse. In addition, the Imperius Curse is very difficult for Link. There is really not much gain in the current situation, so Link's Soul Imperius Curse level is only lv1 so far.

Regulus is definitely the most important person in Kreacher's heart. There are secrets about Regulus. Although Kreacher has been controlled by the Imperius Curse and is unlikely to disobey, his strength against Link is not that high. It is still possible for Kreacher to misinterpret the order and execute it under the influence of subconscious mind.

After all, this is the most common trick used by house elves to deceive people.

With this thought in mind, Link slowly approached Kreacher. The wand in his hand waved slightly, and a realistic three-dimensional projection of Slytherin's pendant box appeared in mid-air.

"Take me to this locket."

As soon as Link said this, Kreacher's originally happy and foolish expression instantly became distorted, as if he was resisting something.

Unfortunately, even the level 1 soul-stealing curse is too powerful for Kreacher.

At best, he can misinterpret and mislead the order within a limited scope, but he cannot completely refuse to execute the order.

After only resisting for less than 2 minutes, Kreacher collapsed completely, turned around and staggered out of the room.

Seeing this, Link pulled up a cruel smile and said:

"Cunning old thing!"

"Hiss!~" (Kill him afterwards!)

Arkham's head popped out from above Link's shoulder at the right moment.

After spending many years getting along with Link, his thinking pattern began to become more and more like Link's.

In other words, this person and the snake began to become more and more in tune with each other.

Many times, what Arkham says is actually Link's truest thoughts.

So after listening to Arkham's words, the red light in Link's eyes flashed a few times, and he was obviously moved.

But in the end he shook his head and quickly followed Kreacher.

After being shaken in circles by Kreacher, Link finally stood in front of a cupboard.

At this time, the happiness and stupidity on Kreacher's face had completely disappeared, replaced by pain.

Link ignored him and opened the cupboard door with a wave of his wand.

The space inside the cupboard is unexpectedly large.

This seemed to be the place where Kreacher was staying, and there was a dirty old blanket inside, the color of which was almost the same as the torn pillowcase on Kreacher.

But it doesn't matter.

The key is that there are a lot of valuables belonging to the Black family piled at the very back of the cupboard.

Link only took a cursory glance and found various things inside, including the First Class Order of Merlin and various jewelry with the Black family crest.

From the looks of it, Kreacher seemed to be really afraid of Sirius, a prodigal son, so he took the lead in collecting all the valuables before Sirius caused huge damage to Grimmauld's old house.

A blue light flashed in Link's eyes, and his mental power surged out. He soon felt a familiar aura from the piled items.

It was the aura that uniquely belonged to Voldemort's Horcrux. It was crazy and murderous, but it lacked greed and agility.

It seems that as Voldemort's strength has grown, his craftsmanship in making Horcruxes has also improved greatly.

At least Slytherin's locket was not born out of self-consciousness like a diary after being made into a Horcrux.

"Scare! Hiss!~" (It's that liar's breath! Let me bite him to death! Kill them all!)

Arkham neighed with excitement. Ever since Voldemort forcibly controlled him for the second time and asked him to attack Link, he had only pure hatred for Voldemort.

Link raised the corners of his mouth slightly and flicked his wand.

"The pendant box is coming!"

wow——

The small mountain of items in the cupboard suddenly collapsed, and a pure gold pendant box flew out from it, along with an old notepad whose outer cover had become slightly discolored.

Link didn't bother with the notepad, but used magic power to fix the pendant box and float it in mid-air.

"scare!"

Arkham turned into an afterimage almost instantly and pounced on him, only to be dragged out by Link again.

Ignoring the aggrieved Arkham, Link controlled the power of the curse to contain the pendant, and invaded inward in a relatively gentle way.

This is unimaginable torture for the Voldemort soul in the locket, but the benefits are also obvious. At least Slytherin's locket will not be too damaged and can be regarded as saved.

"what--"

A shrill scream came from the pendant box, followed by a faint black mist.

[Gold skill point*1 has been obtained! 】

The smile on Link's face grew stronger, and then he took the pendant box in his hand and looked at it carefully.

This legendary Slytherin relic is actually not very delicate.

The hardness of gold is not very high, and Slytherin's pendant obviously did not use too many sophisticated alloy techniques when making it. This resulted in Slytherin's pendant becoming damaged after so many years of improper storage. There are a lot of scratches and pits on the surface of the pendant box.

These traces covered many ancient magic words engraved on the surface of the pendant box, and even the iconic green S-shaped snake pattern became blurred.

After putting the pendant away with satisfaction, Link picked up the notepad that was brought out by the pendant.

Opening the notepad, the English abbreviation RAB is clearly engraved on the first page of the notepad. Obviously this notepad should be Regulus's diary.

The contents of the diary are as follows:

'Today is my 14th birthday, and my father gave me a beautiful medal that was said to have been worn by the ancestors of the Black family.But in comparison, I still prefer the Muggle food that Brother Sirius gave me. What is it called?Cream cake?It should be called this, right?It's a pity that my father and mother don't like it, and they don't like my brother either. They think he is a disobedient and rebellious man. '

'Voldemort is such a great man!My father and mother were right, he is the one who can lead the wizard to real prosperity!I heard that he had formed a noble organization called the Death Eaters, and I wanted to join it, but it was a pity that I was too young. '

'Large expanses of ink...'

'Brother Sirius had an argument with his father and mother again.Sometimes I really don’t understand them. It’s just a concept of blood being supreme. What’s worth arguing about? Is this concept more important than family? '

'Brother Sirius ran away from home.He said he would never come back, but none of us believed he would.This is his home, and we are all his family. He will come back when his anger subsides, just like before. '

'I finally joined the Death Eaters!You know I'm only 16 years old this year!I dare say that I am definitely the youngest Death Eater in history. Lord Voldemort values ​​me very much. I am really honored!Oh, by the way, brother Sirius hasn't come back yet...'

'The torn-off pages...'

'Merlin on top!What have I done?How could they force me to do this?I actually killed that muggle, and he was just a child!Oh my God!Are we really righteous? '

'The torn-off pages...'

'Voldemort is hiding something from us. His secret plan is far crazier than what we are doing now.He is pushing us to hell, I need to do something! '

'Voldemort wants me to offer Kreacher, this may be an opportunity...'

'The torn-off pages...'

'Beast, beast, beast, beast...'

'How could he treat Kreacher like that? !I can't believe I delivered Kreacher to him myself!And he...he is still making Horcruxes!That person who cannot even be named is completely crazy!I have to stop him... maybe I can contact my brother, no, I must not tell him or my parents about this!This will hurt them!I have to do this alone! '

……

Link had a hint of emotion on his face.

After combining the decoration in Regulus' room and the contents of the diary with Link's memories of this plot in his previous life, Regulus's distinctive image appeared in front of Link's eyes.

This is a pretty outstanding young man.

When he was young, he endured long-term and intense brainwashing by his parents, which led him to develop a strong admiration for Voldemort.

Normal people have been brainwashed to this point and that's it.

But Regulus was different.

This is a truly kind and brave person who upholds lofty ideals!

This kindness has not dissipated even after facing such brainwashing, and finally awakened him from his addiction and seized one of Voldemort's Horcruxes.

If there was anything Regulus did not do well enough, it must be that he was not mature enough and powerful enough in the process of seizing the Horcrux, so that he lost his life.

Link didn't want to blame Regulus for anything. This was disrespectful to the deceased. Although what Regulus did was not perfect, he did his best.

No one can expect an 18-year-old boy to handle everything perfectly. This is unrealistic.

Link just felt it was a pity.

What if Regulus hadn't died and lived to the time of Voldemort's downfall?

Then the plot of the entire world will undergo earth-shaking changes!

Dumbledore will know Voldemort's Horcrux plan in advance, Sirius may return home to reunite with his family, and Voldemort may have been truly killed by Dumbledore...

However, there are no ifs in this world.

Snapped--

The diary was closed again, and Link looked at Kreacher beside him.

At this time, the expression on Kreacher's face had completely turned silent. It seemed that the seizure of Regulus' relics had caused great psychological trauma to him. Naturally, this was also due to Link's low level of the Imperius Curse.

"Live well, now is not the time for you to die."

Link said with a smile, and at the same time tapped his wand, "Forget everything!"

hum-

A blinding white light flashed, and Kreacher collapsed in front of the cupboard, while Link tossed his robe and walked towards his room while comforting Arkham.

At this stage, the plan to collect gold skill points has been successfully completed.

With this golden skill point, Link is confident that he can at least raise the Apparition Curse to LV6 before he truly begins the all-out battle with Voldemort.

As for the Regulus diary, Link planned to dump it directly to Sirius Black and Dumbledore.

This wasn't for the sake of family harmony in the Black family or because Sirius was too much to talk about.

But Link simply didn't want Regulus' deeds to be buried.

After all, in Link's opinion, Regulus is the real hero.

……

The next morning, Link, who was sleeping soundly, was shaken awake by a violent shaking.

He reluctantly opened his eyes with a dissatisfied look on his face, and saw that Harry was still shaking his body with excitement.

Arkham was also awakened.

Feeling deeply aggrieved last night, he shrunk and curled up on Link's chest, which was a great comfort to him.

Now that Harry was making such a fuss, he almost didn't hesitate to grow in size several times, squatting beside Link and opening his huge mouth in a threatening manner towards Harry.

This scene would definitely scare any normal person.

Just like yesterday, Hermione was shocked by Arkham.

It's a pity that Harry is also a Parselmouth, and Parseltongues are born with no fear of snakes. For them, all snakes are their friends and partners.

So when facing the furious Arkham, Harry not only showed no fear, but actually smiled and waved:

"Hiss!" (Ah! Good morning! Mr. Basilisk!)

"Scare, hiss!" (Not good, you impolite brat! Why do you have a smell that's familiar to me? I really want to give you a bite!)

Arkham neighed as he moved closer to Harry and began to tongue out the letter.

Harry, on the other hand, was a little confused by what he was doing, and even lowered his head and smelled himself.

"Stop making trouble! Arkham is back!"

Link shouted with a frown, and at the same time, he forced Arkham to shrink back into bed with a flick of his finger.

You have to know that Harry actually has a part of Voldemort's soul hidden in his body. Strictly speaking, it is also a kind of Horcrux. It is normal to have the aura of Voldemort on his body. If they continue to cause trouble, Arkham might I really can't help but give Harry a bite.

Then the fun will be great.
