Ancient Warlocks at Hogwarts

"Anyway, we have finally solved this problem now." Mr. Weasley breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Dumbledore nodded and said: "It seems that is indeed the case so far, but I think I still need to go to the cave that Kreacher mentioned."

"I want to go too." Sirius immediately shouted out when he heard that Dumbledore wanted to go to the cave.

Dumbledore did not refuse Sirius's request. He said: "Of course, we have to bring Regulus's body back, but we'd better keep quiet about this matter. I know it's very important to Regulus." It's unfair for Si's sacrifice, but Voldemort is not completely dead yet, and we must prevent him from knowing that this locket has been destroyed by us."

Sirius looked a little sad, but he agreed to it.

"Then, Arthur and Mr. Granger, you should take the children back first. I think that cave is not suitable for a pleasant holiday trip." Dumbledore turned to Mr. Weasley and said.

Both fathers agreed with this statement. According to Kreacher's description, the cave was not a place where children should go.

"But Sirius also promised to send me back to Privet Drive." But Harry obviously didn't think so. He wanted to stay with his godfather.

"Professor, I have to go back to Hogsmeade alone. If possible, I still hope to go to the cave with you, and then ask you to take me back to Hogwarts. It is as close to Hogsmeade as London." Much closer." Andre also wanted to see the magic that Voldemort had arranged in that cave, so he made an excuse for himself.

Dumbledore glanced at the two boys and finally said: "In that case, Andre and Harry will come with us. As for Miss Granger and the gentlemen Weasley, we can only let Arthur take care of them." You go back."

The matter was settled in these few words. Mr. Weasley used Apparition to take the others back to central London. The little witch gave Andre a worried look before leaving. .

"Then let's go, Sirius, and let Kreacher use Apparition to take us to the cave." Dumbledore said to Sirius after watching Mr. Weasley and the others disappear from the house.

I have to say that when the four of them surrounded Kreacher, who was less than 1.3 meters tall, especially when the elf had snot and tears on his face, the scene looked like they were bullying a child.Fortunately, they quickly teleported away from here

"This is the stone basin!" After arriving at his destination, Harry immediately spotted the stone basin in front of him.

Dumbledore leaned down and carefully looked at the stone basin and the potion in it. Then he twitched his nose slightly and said uncertainly: "This is probably the poison prepared by Voldemort himself. I want to analyze it." Severus has to come up with the ingredients. The only thing I can say for sure is that drinking these potions will definitely not make anyone feel better."

"Huh, that snot-nosed guy?" Sirius said with disdain as he didn't like Snape's name.

But Dumbledore ignored his words. He reached out his hand and wanted to touch the potion in the basin.

Harry screamed at this, but there was actually an invisible force that prevented Dumbledore from touching him.

"I think Voldemort must have set magic on this stone basin. There is no other way to dry out the potion inside except drinking it." Andre said what he had known for a long time.

The principal smiled and praised: "That's right. What Voldemort likes most is to play with people's hearts in this way. He thinks that death and pain can make people fearful, but in fact there are always some of us who do not lack the courage to sacrifice."

Of course, Dumbledore was not only referring to Regulus. In fact, if there was no Andre, he would drink the potion in the stone basin himself in the future. At that time, he also wanted to use this method to let himself go. As a human Horcrux, Harry understood that there was no need to fear death.

But this time, since they already know that the locket in the stone basin is fake, the principal will naturally not drink the magic potion in it again.

"Okay, let's find out where Regulus's body is." After understanding the function of the stone basin, Dumbledore finally straightened up and looked at the dark lake surrounding the island. .

Sirius was impatient for a long time. His only purpose here was to retrieve his brother's body. Naturally, he was not interested in the potion made by Voldemort. Now that Dumbledore said this, he wanted to take it off right away. The hospital gown on his body went to the bottom of the lake.

Andre was startled by his actions. This guy is simply synonymous with recklessness. There are countless inferi sleeping under this black lake. Any breath of strangers will alarm them. The only way to safely pass through the lake is The boat docked on the other side.

If Kreacher hadn't used the magic of a house elf to take them directly to the island in the middle of the lake, they would have had to take that boat to get here.

And now Sirius actually plans to jump directly into the lake. What is the difference between this and seeking death?

Fortunately, Andre had quick eyesight and caught him, otherwise the consequences would be really disastrous.

"Have you forgotten what Kreacher said? There are countless dead arms in that lake!"

Facing Andre's reminder, Sirius frowned and said, "So what? Do I have to give up Regulus because of those arms?"

"Sirius, I think sometimes you really have to listen to other people's opinions. What Andre said is not wrong. Rushing into the lake recklessly will not help you find Regulus. What is hidden in there should be The Inferi created by Voldemort before, he murdered many innocent people and created a large army for himself." Dumbledore said as he pulled out his amazingly long wand.

This was the first time Andre saw the true face of the Elder Wand. It was fifteen inches long. The wand made of elder wood had several obvious protrusions. It was said that the wand core made of thestrals' tail feathers could only be controlled by Only the wizard of death can control it.

"Put your hand on the lake, Sirius, and see if you can attract these Inferi to the island. I can't go to the bottom of the lake to deal with them." Dumbledore said with his wand.

After hearing what the principal said, Sirius had no choice but to give up his original plan.

And as his palm appeared on the lake, ripples suddenly appeared in the originally calm water, and soon dry and pale arms emerged from the lake like a forest.

There is no doubt that this is the meal Voldemort carefully prepared for the intruder.
