Professor of Pharmacy at Hogwarts

Blake closed his eyes, showed a sad smile, and recounted the results of his investigation.

According to Black's investigation and confirmed by Kreacher's oral statement - although Black did not believe Kreacher, he still pieced together the true situation that year.

Regulus was very excited when he first joined the Death Eaters. Young Regulus believed that he was fighting for his family and his faith. He actively responded to Voldemort's call and actively participated in every Death Eater gathering. .

But slowly, Regulus began to have doubts about Voldemort's words and actions, which made him worried and restless.

Perhaps Voldemort had noticed Regulus' uneasiness, so he borrowed Kreacher from Regulus.

At this time, Regulus was still in a feverish state, although he was beginning to become restless.

He considered it an honor.

In order to test the safety of the cave, Voldemort placed the locket on the rocky island in the center of the lake, leaving Kreacher alone.

Kreacher used magic to escape from the cave and told Regulus everything.Regulus deduced that the locket made by Voldemort was a Horcrux and discovered the secret of Voldemort's immortality.

Hearing this, Alexis admired Regulus a little.

As far as he knew, there were only a few people in the wizarding world who knew about the existence of Horcruxes, and Regulus was probably the only one who knew that Voldemort was making Horcruxes based on mere inference.

From this point of view, Regulus' knowledge reserve is actually very amazing, and may even be as good as Alexis himself.It can also be seen that Regulus is actually a very smart man. If he could survive until now, he might have achieved good results...

After discovering Voldemort's secret, Regulus suddenly realized that everything Voldemort said was a lie. What he did was not for the pure-blood family, but for his own immortality.

Regulus, who realized he had been deceived, did not confront Voldemort. Instead, he made a replica of the locket and hid the note inside.

He ordered Kreacher to take him into the cave. Regulus drank the potion, replaced the locket, and handed it to Kreacher.

Regulus asked Kreacher to leave to find a way to destroy the locket, but he stayed behind.

According to Blake's theory, after drinking the potion, he was dragged into the lake by the Inferi and drowned while drinking water at the lake.

After telling his speculation, Black remained silent. Kreacher held his head and sobbed beside him, shouting "Regulus" and "Regulus" incessantly.

"Maybe I should be concerned about Regulus."

Blake opened his eyes, looked at Alexis and smiled, "He has a brain problem and doesn't understand anything."

Alexis wanted to say, "You know," but now was obviously not the time to say that, so he patted Blake's arm.

He had seen Regulus in school, a young man with an incomprehensible spirit.He was always in high spirits, hanging out with a group of Slytherins and participating in various activities.

It doesn't look normal.

In school, Black barely said a word to Regulus, and they rarely met Regulus and had very few interactions.

Alexis didn't know how to comfort Blake, or in other words, he didn't know if Blake needed comfort now.

Is he sad?

Sad what?

Is it because of his younger brother?

Probably yes.

but why?

Alexis couldn't understand.

"The Lockhart I mentioned to you before, he seems to be in Egypt." Alexis could only divert Blake's attention with other things. "If you are willing, go to Egypt and relax."

"But now, you should take a shower first. You are almost fermented."

Letting Black go to Egypt to capture Lockhart was Alexis's last-minute idea.Although he didn't understand why Blake was so sad, Alexis knew one thing -

If Blake continues to drink like this, sooner or later he will drink himself to death.

James and the four of them came into contact with alcohol at about the same time. All four of them showed their love for alcohol. They often sneaked out together and went to the Pig's Head Bar to beg for drinks.

Even after graduation, they often get together to drink.

But they just enjoyed drinking with their friends. The only one who could really be called an alcoholic was Blake.

This hobby was not particularly obvious at first, and even after Black escaped from Azkaban, no one noticed it. Until now, Alexis vaguely felt something was wrong.

Blake's addiction to alcohol went a little too far.

Blake went to take a shower, and Alexis sat on the floor and began to consider whether Blake should go to Egypt to relax or send him to some Alcoholics Anonymous meeting.

I heard that there are many Muggles who know this and that, almost in every community.

"Blake~"

……

The idea of ​​sending Blake to Alcoholics Anonymous never came to fruition.

Blake refused to stop drinking until he died. After throwing the real locket to Alexis, he ran away overnight and jumped on a plane to Egypt.

By the time Alexis woke up on Sunday, Blake was already nearly on the ground.

Rubbing his numb head, Alexis had to admit that when it came to drinking, compared to Blake, an alcoholic, he was a younger brother.

After washing up, he still had no appetite and only ate two slices of bread for breakfast. After leaving the Byron Hotel, Alexis went to see Randolph again.

Firebolt sales have declined somewhat and are no longer as popular as before, but this is the norm.Despite this, Firebolt still firmly suppresses Nimbus 2000 and occupies the majority of the market share.If their own hoarding of Nimbus 2000 is excluded, the market share of Nimbus 2000 has shrunk to a very dangerous level.

In addition, the customized version concept launched by Firebolt has been widely praised. According to Randolph, he even drew a lot of inspiration from these customized version customers and planned to use it in the development of Firebolt 2.0.

Today's Randolph is no longer the decadent young man who was drunk and preparing to commit suicide while guarding a warehouse of broomsticks. Today's Randolph is the chief broomstick designer of Felix Badmore Production Company and has full authority over the company's broomsticks. All things broom.

Because he was too busy at work, Randolph recruited several apprentices to help with trivial matters. Most of today's customized versions of Firebolts are produced by these apprentices.It's not impossible to get Randolph to take action, but more money is needed.

Lucius didn't know where he learned the half-baked skills, and consciously cultivated Randolph's status, using the wind of the Firebolt to make Randolph a broomstick master.

It is reasonable to ask for a sky-high price for a customized model designed by the broomstick master, right?For less than five digits, do you feel worthy of Randolph's status as broomstick master?
