demon hunter at hogwarts

According to Marvolo Gaunt, the ring was passed down from his ancestors and had been passed down among members of the Gaunt family for centuries.

The coat of arms engraved on the tomb of Ignotus Peverell is at least 700 years old.

This ancient thing suddenly appeared in Xenophilius Lovegood, who was no more than 40 years old, and the Lovegood family had nothing to do with the surname Peverell.

Regulus felt a little strange.

"Maybe he knows some of the wild history of the Peverell family and can bring me some new inspiration."

After much consideration, Regulus decided to try his luck and wrote a letter to Xenophilius Lovegood according to the contact information in the magazine.

For the next whole week, he flipped through many books in the forbidden book area, trying to figure out what kind of magic ritual required the use of relatives-especially his father's skull.

He was sure that Voldemort had taken old Tom Riddle's head, and he definitely hadn't put it on a shelf as a decoration or ornament.

If we could find out the purpose of this thing, we might be able to get ahead of Voldemort and disrupt his plan.

Unfortunately, the results were disappointing, and no book recorded the special use of this skull.

On Friday, Regulus received a reply from the owl, which was from Xenophilius Lovegood. The letter invited him to come to the Lovegood family's house in Ottery-St. Cage on Saturday. Guest at home in Bol Village.

According to the address provided by Xenophilius, Regulus came to a windy hillside at ten o'clock on Saturday morning.

The sun passes through the thick clouds, forming huge beams of light between the sky and the earth, shining on the earth, and scattered houses are scattered in the valley.

On the top of the mountain behind him, a strange house stood alone, with a black column-like shape, like a castle in a wizard's chess magnified hundreds or thousands of times, or like a watchtower without arrow stacks. There was also a moon hung on the roof by magic, fluttering in the mountain wind, looking very strange.

Considering the content of "The Quibbler", Regulus was not too surprised. Instead, he felt that Xenophilius should live in such a house.

There is a fence outside the house, and three hand-painted signs are nailed to the courtyard door.

"The Quibbler" Editor-in-Chief: X. Lovegood

Please pick your own bunch of mistletoe

Don't touch the airship Lee

The path leading to the door was winding and full of strange plants, including knotty vines and poisonous tentacles.

For a moment, Regulus felt like he had transformed into Bob Ogden from decades ago, walking towards the path leading to Gaunt's house.

Fortunately, there were no dead snakes or anything like that nailed to the door of Lovegood's house. There were only two old crabapple trees covered with mistletoe, guarding the heavy black door with an eagle-shaped knocker.

Regulus knocked three times on the door.

Soon, a man in pajamas with disheveled hair opened the door, stared at Regulus with light-colored eyes and asked, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

"Regulus Black, the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts, Mr. Lovegood, through our letter." Regulus said generously.

"Ah...Professor Black...this is indeed the case...by the way! Please come in! Come on, come in!" The doubtful look on Xenophilius's face gradually faded, and he hurriedly invited Regulus into the room.

As soon as he stepped into the threshold, Regulus felt a strong sense of dizziness, as if he was led by Dumbledore and disapparated dozens of times in a minute.

Because the house is round in shape, all furniture, including the fireplace, sink and cupboards, were curved and filled with flowers, insects and birds painted in contrasting colors.

A cast-iron staircase is located in the center of the room and leads to the second floor in a spiral shape.

Regulus suddenly remembered what Sirius liked to play with, the so-called "corkscrew" used by Muggles to open red wine, and the whole house looked more like a giant cork than a watchtower.

"This is the kitchen. Let's go upstairs to chat. My office is upstairs...it might be a little noisy..." Xenophilius walked up the steep stairs first, beckoning Regulus to follow.

Regulus held on to the iron handrail and followed Xenophilius up to the second floor.

The room was filled with a large number of books and papers, as well as several large barrels containing something similar to ink. A printing press was roaring, spitting out a lot of "The Quibbler" from time to time.

Regulus believed that Xenophilius might have assembled the printing press himself, as he had never seen anything so ugly.

Beside the curved window, stood a stone bust of a beautiful but cold and stern witch.

Regulus knew her as one of the founders of Hogwarts: Rowena Ravenclaw.

Xenophilius noticed Regulus looking at the stone statue and spoke in a singing tone: "You must know Ravenclaw's diadem, right?"

Regulus frowned slightly when he heard the word "crown". He was indeed investigating the whereabouts of the crown, because according to speculation, Voldemort had probably made the crown into a Horcrux.

"Extraordinary intelligence is the greatest wealth... Yes, so I plan to find this wealth again." Xenophilius did not see the change in Regulus's expression, and said in an intoxicated tone: " I found that airship Lee can improve the wearer's ability to accept abnormal things, so I planted some in the yard... But the research on the aura thruster did not go well. Pandora said that if excessive hellebore extract is used, it will use Bringing the person into a psychedelic state..."

Listening to Xenophilius's explanation, Regulus looked strange and coughed slightly.

"I'm sorry... I didn't stop thinking in time. Professor Black, how can I help you? You seem to have said... that there are some historical issues that need to be discussed?" Xenophilius's wandering eyes finally focused, and he was in a hurry. He piled a pile of magazines on the stairs, revealing two armchairs below, "Sit down and talk."

"I want to know why you are wearing Peverell's coat of arms?" Regulus thought for a moment and decided to get straight to the point.

Hearing what Regulus said, Xenophilius seemed to want to laugh out loud for a moment, but in the end, he suppressed his laughter into a question with an odd tone.

"Peverell's coat of arms? That's what you call it?"

"Is there something wrong?" Regulus asked doubtfully.

"Of course not..." Xenophilius said in a matter-of-fact tone, "But I have seen something even more outrageous. Some people regard it as the symbol of Gellert Grindelwald. Since the rise of the mysterious man, not many I personally know who Grindelwald is, but it’s no wonder that since Dumbledore is in the UK, Grindelwald doesn’t dare to come over.”

Valley</span> "I saw it on the tombstone of Ignotus Peverell." Regulus was a little annoyed by Xenophilius's unreasonable way of thinking, and couldn't help but raise his voice, Trying to stop the other person from continuing to think divergently, "If it's not the family crest, what is it?"

"In short, this symbol is of great significance. You said it is the coat of arms of the Peverell family... but you cannot say that it is completely wrong. It is indeed closely related to the Peverell family." Xenophilius He lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "It is the symbol of the Deathly Hallows."

"What?" Regulus was completely confused when he heard the unfamiliar term "Deathly Hallows".

"All those who wear this symbol are believers in pursuit of the Deathly Hallows. Through this, we show our identity to other believers and seek help... Since you stumbled upon it and know about the Peverell family, then It's much easier..." Xenophilius said in a dazed voice, "Let's start from the beginning... I believe you are familiar with the story "The Legend of the Three Brothers", right?"

Regulus nodded. This story was included in "The Tales of Beedle the Bard". Most young wizards had heard their parents tell it to them when they were young.

Except for Regulus, the first time he heard this story was when Kreacher read it in a bullfrog-like voice while holding a book. It was originally a bedtime story, but it scared him so much that he couldn't sleep well all night.

"... Very good, we believe that the three things made by Death in the story: the Elder Wand, the Resurrection Stone and the Invisibility Cloak, are the legendary Deathly Hallows." Xenophilius said, pulling out a piece of paper, Vertical lines, circles and triangles representing the three sacred vessels were drawn on it in sequence, forming what Regulus called "the coat of arms of the Peverell family".

"Then what relationship do they have with the Peverell family?" Regulus asked, "Could it be that..."

He stopped mid-question.

Many broken memories quickly formed a web in his mind.

According to the investigation, the Potter family is very likely to be the descendant of Ignotus Peverell, and according to Sirius, Harry's Invisibility Cloak has been passed down to the ancestors of the Potter family. For centuries.

The third child in the story, before he died, passed the Invisibility Cloak to his son.

The truth is obvious.

"...Yes, the three brothers in the story are the three Peverell brothers, Antiochus, Cadmus and Ignotus." Xenophilius stretched out his hand and gestured in the air with satisfaction. "They are the original owners of the sacred artifact."

"Do the Peverell brothers leave any descendants?" Regulus asked calmly, "Historical records show that their paternal lineage has been cut off long ago."

"Every new believer tries to start with the descendants of the Peverell brothers." Xenophilius raised his eyebrows, looking a little disdainful, "This road has been tried by countless people, but it doesn't work. Because Antioch has no descendants. If you try to recall the legends about the death stick and the stick of destiny over the centuries, you will find that it was not passed down in the normal way, but through... killing."

"So what you're saying is that all the super powerful wands in history are actually the same one?" Regulus asked.

"Of course, since the evil Egbert slaughtered the evil Emeric and stole his wand, everyone knows that as long as they kill the previous owner, they can become the new owner of the Elder Wand." Xie Nophilius sighed, "If you are familiar with the history of magic, you will find that the bloody traces of the Elder Wand are hidden in many important events."

"So, what about the Resurrection Stone? What happened to Cadmus?" Regulus continued to ask.

"The story says that the second child committed suicide early. This may not be the case. We believe that the Gaunt family will be the descendants of Cadmus, but the Gaunt family also died." Xenophilius said regretfully, " The clue was cut off.”

Regarding the fate of the Gaunt family, Regulus knew very well.

Judging from Marvolo Gaunt's performance in his memory, he didn't know what the ring was. He only regarded it as a token of family inheritance. However, he did not expect that the heavy black gemstone on the ring would... It may be the Resurrection Stone, one of the three Deathly Hallows.

Resurrection Stone...

Regulus felt his stomach lurch.

Voldemort was already ahead of them and took away the ring.

If he knew that the ring contained the Resurrection Stone...

"Mr. Lovegood, this...resurrection stone can really resurrect the dead?" He tried hard to suppress his voice and not let too many emotional fluctuations show.

"I don't think so. Didn't you read the story carefully? The second brother called back the girl he admired from the underworld, but the girl was desperate and indifferent, as if she knew that she did not belong to this world..." Xenophilius's voice Suddenly it became no longer ethereal, "If we use an analogy, the dead summoned back by the resurrection stone are like ghosts and are not really alive."

"Is there any evidence?"

"There is no evidence. The Resurrection Stone is the most mysterious Deathly Hallows... Most of its functions are all our guesses. Perhaps only the person who owns it can tell us its true function." Chenofi Liu Si said, "In short, if you can obtain the three holy weapons, then you will become the master of Death...or the winner, the conqueror, the destroyer...whatever you want to call it."

At this moment, there was the sound of the door opening downstairs. Xenophilius stood up in a hurry and accidentally knocked over a stack of crooked books.

With his quick hands and eyes, Regulus waved his wand and promptly pulled the books that were falling downstairs back to the second floor, where they were piled safely against the wall.

"Is it you, Mr. Vampire?" A ethereal child's voice suddenly came from downstairs. Regulus looked down and saw a little girl with light blond hair, looking up at him with big blue eyes.

Only one person had ever used this unique nickname, and Regulus quickly remembered where he had seen her.

At that time, she also obtained contraband - Manticore's poisonous powder from her mother.

Regulus walked down the stairs and happened to see the woman wearing strange earrings placing a large bag on the ground.

Now he knew what the triangular earrings meant.

"Let me introduce, this is my wife, Pandora Lovegood, and this is our daughter Luna." Xenophilius followed downstairs and introduced in a very proud tone.

"We have met." Pandora said with a smile, "Thanks to Professor Black, I didn't blow this house up to the sky."

"Oh? What a coincidence... Let me see, let's make colorful fish soup for lunch! Everyone is asking us for the recipe for colorful fish soup!" Xenophilius said happily, "Mr. Black , you must try it..."

"We caught a lot of spherical fish. Look..." Little Luna tugged on Regulus's sleeve and motioned for him to look at the contents of the big bag. "The soup dad made is delicious!"

Regulus looked down, with an awkward yet polite smile on his face.

The bag was filled with spherical fish covered with brightly colored patterns. These fish also had two long legs, which were all tied into knots. It was obviously done by the Lovegoods and their daughter.

He couldn't imagine what the soup made from this thing would taste like.
