Professor of Pharmacy at Hogwarts

Regulus Black, whose full name is Regulus Arcturus Black, is the younger brother of Sirius Black, only two years younger than Sirius Black. 【Note 1】

Unlike Sirius Black, who was rebellious since childhood, Regulus is a traditional member of the Black family.

Regulus has always been the pride of his parents. He entered Hogwarts in 1972 and was sorted into Slytherin House. He became a young Death Eater and fought for the pure-blood family.

Compared to Regulus, Sirius Black is simply an anomaly in the Black family. No wonder Sirius Black, along with Andromeda Black, became a disgrace to the Black family and was expelled.

As a boy, Sirius Black hated his brother Regulus very much. Especially when he learned that Regulus had become a Death Eater and fought for Voldemort, he wanted to tear Regulus into pieces.

But time has passed, Regulus has been dead for many years, and Sirius Black has been imprisoned in Azkaban for more than ten years. The once-prominent Black family disappeared, leaving only Sirius Black.

Perhaps it was due to the throbbing of his blood, or perhaps because Blake had experienced too much, he began to explore the cause of his brother's death.

Alexis easily found Blake's old house, a mansion in northwest London, only 20 minutes away from King's Cross Station.

12 Grimmauld Place!

From the outside, it looks like this old house has not been inhabited for a long time.

But Blake's last letter was sent from here, which shows that Blake did come not long ago and is even still inside.

Alexis guessed correctly.

Soon after he knocked, the door opened and a house-elf grunted to invite him inside.

The house elf wore a dirty rag around his waist. This rag did not provide him with much help. He looked no different from the naked ones.

The skin on his body is piled up in folds, at least twice as much as he needs. His head is bald, with a lot of white hair growing out of his two big bat ears, and his tennis-ball-like eyes are bloodshot, gray, and fleshy. His nose drooped, almost hanging down to his mouth,

It fits the impression that house elves always give people.

The curtains were drawn on the windows, so the whole place looked a bit gloomy.There was not much dust in the room, but the air was filled with the smell of decay. This smell was mixed with the smell of fermented lees and the smell of sweat from the body, which made Alexis dry for a while. vomit.

It's certain that Sirius Black is definitely still there.

"Blake!"

Alexis shouted while retching.

"Blake!"

The house elf seemed to be trying to stop him, but failed, which made him so anxious that he stepped back in front of Alexis and kept jumping on his feet and scratching his ears and cheeks.

"Blake!"

Alexis walked over to the sofa and spotted Sirius Black from under it.

Thankfully, despite his strong "don't come near me or you'll die" smell, he didn't die.

"Blake, wake up."

Alexis shook his shoulders, dragged him to the sofa, and swept the wine bottle away from the sofa. The bottle fell to the floor with a clinking sound.

The house elf let out a scream and began to mutter. As he muttered, he knelt down and began to collect the bottles.

"Dirty thing, take your hands off!"

When the house elf was about to take away the wine bottle from Black's arms, Black suddenly exploded. He cursed roughly and kicked the house elf out with his foot.

The house elf slid across the floor, knocked over an old chair, and slid to the wall, where he banged his head hard.

The wine bottles held in the arms of the house elf clinked and scattered all over the floor while gliding, and the remaining bottles hit him on the head.

The house elf covered his head and muttered something, then began to crawl back, continuing to collect the bottles as he climbed.The broken wine bottle quickly cut his skin and blood flowed out.

Alexis shook her head, took out her wand and waved it.

"Clean up"

A whirlwind rose out of thin air, picked up the wine bottles and their fragments, and piled them at the door.

"Blake. Wake up."

With that done, Alexis continued to shake Blake.

At this time, Sirius Black's whole body was sticky, exuding the smell and stench of fermented lees. He seemed to have turned into a piece of lees and was fermenting.

"Yeah - it's Alexis - Sith - hehe -"

Blake woke up, stared at Alexis for a moment with squinted eyes, and laughed silly.

"are you awake?"

"I'm not drunk."

Alexis shook his head, waved his wand, and a stream of water poured down his head.

Blake jumped up from the sofa with a start. He wiped the water stains on his face, looked at Alexis with wide eyes, and then slipped down as soft as noodles.

"What the hell happened?"

Alexis dragged Blake to the corner, sat him against the wall, and began looking for food.

This guy looks like he hasn't eaten in a long time.

After searching around, there was nothing except a few pieces of moldy bread, so Alexis could only go out and buy some food.

As soon as he saw the food, Blake immediately grabbed it and ate it hungrily.

After finishing an entire pizza, Blake felt a lot more energetic. He took out a piece of black paper from his arms and handed it to Alexis.

Alexis held the piece of paper up to the light source, trying hard to make out the writing on it, but failed.

The piece of paper had been completely smeared, and after being soaked in Alexis' water just now, it was completely out of shape.

"This was written by Regulus and left to Voldemort."

Blake leaned against the wall and whispered.

Alexis waved her wand, carefully controlled the spell, and removed some of the mud on it, revealing the blurry writing.

"To the Dark Lord: I will be dead before you read this, but I want you to know that I discovered your secret. I stole the real Horcrux and intended to destroy it as quickly as possible. I am willing to die. , hoping that you will be killed when you encounter an opponent.

RAB"

Handing the piece of paper back to Blake, Alexis sat a little further away from Blake, waiting for Blake to continue talking.

"The locket Harry and I found in the cave was fake. It was replaced by Regulus."

"Regulus discovered Voldemort's secret and betrayed Voldemort."

As he spoke, he closed his eyes and slowly clenched his fists.

"Reculus!"

"Great master!"

"Fight! Kreacher will fight for the great master Regulus! Fight the Dark Lord to the end!"

The house elf on the side suddenly shouted like a convulsion. He clenched his fists and was very excited. His eyes, which looked like tennis balls, were filled with blood. He looked very scary.

"what's going on?"

Alexis glanced at the house elf, turned around and asked.

Only then did he learn that the house elf's name was Kreacher.
