Chapter 14 Investigation

Indeed, the wizards of the Tribunal present at the time, headed by Old Barty Crouch, almost unanimously believed that Bellatrix had gone crazy and still had unrealistic fantasies about Voldemort, so they did not give her the final chance. Keep a word in mind.

But both Dumbledore and Regulus had realized that Bellatrix obviously knew that Voldemort had Horcruxes and could not die, so she showed such confidence.

"She is indeed one of the Death Eaters most trusted by the Dark Lord. It is not surprising that she can get this information." Regulus commented, "But she will probably be disappointed. If we find a way to eliminate the Dark Lord's That Horcrux, the Dark Lord will be completely dead from now on. And no one will go to Azkaban to save her."

"It's a good wish, but I don't think so." Dumbledore shook his head. "After you read this book carefully, you will find that the working principle of Horcrux is not like this. The resurrection of Voldemort does not require the Horcrux. That piece of soul. As long as the Horcrux is not destroyed, the owner cannot be killed. The Horcrux has actually played its role, and Voldemort is still alive somewhere."

"So even if we destroy his Horcrux, he will not die immediately unless we can find him after destroying the Horcrux and kill him again?" Regulus asked quickly.

"I think so. Unfortunately, I have been looking around in many places over the years, but I have not found any trace of Voldemort. He is obviously very cautious. There are rumors that he is hiding in Albania... but I went there once three years ago and found nothing. ." Dumbledore said.

"Perhaps, wait until he comes to the light of his own accord? Based on my understanding of the Dark Lord, hiding like a ghost is not his style." Regulus stared directly into Dumbledore's eyes.

Dumbledore looked at Regulus deeply, but took the initiative to change the subject: "Can you tell me why you insist on destroying Voldemort?"

"Because I think he did something wrong."

"It's that simple?"

"Correct."

"To a certain extent, you and Sirius are really alike."

"Considering that you all like my dear brother, I temporarily interpret this sentence as you praising me." Regulus tried his best to hide the dissatisfaction in his tone, waved his wand out the window, and said: "The briefcase is flying!"

A few seconds later, his briefcase with the invisible stretching spell flew from his office to the principal's office.

Regulus took the briefcase and put "Advanced Black Magic Revealed" in it, but hesitated to speak.

"Perhaps there is something else you want to ask me?" Dumbledore asked understandingly.

"Since you mentioned Sirius, I want to hear the cause and effect carefully. Phineas made it too general last time."

Dumbledore nodded, as if he had expected it.

Regulus threw his briefcase into the armchair and sat down, pretending to be listening.

"Where to begin... You must know James Potter and Lily." Dumbledore began.

Regulus curled his lips and made no comment.

"For some reason, Voldemort decided to kill them personally, as well as their son, Harry Potter. The news was discovered by the Potters, and they used the Fidelity Charm to protect themselves. Of course you know this spell, guess Guess who the secret keeper will be?”

"Who else could it be but Sirius? I wouldn't be surprised if one day he announced that his name would be changed to Sirius Potter." Regulus said angrily.

For a moment, Regulus felt that Dumbledore had a weird smile, but he quickly concluded that he might have been blinded just now.Every wrinkle on the old principal's face showed seriousness.

"Yes! Obviously, everyone thought so, so when James Potter and his wife died unexpectedly on Halloween in 1981, everyone was extremely surprised. Sirius would betray his best friend and marry him. A close friend of all brothers." Dumbledore's tone contained a touch of sadness.

Regulus' fists clenched under his robes when he heard "Friends closer than brothers."

"Another friend of Mr. and Mrs. Potter, Peter Pedro, had a conflict with Sirius because of this, and there was a lot of noise between the two fighting. By the time Barty Crouch and his Aurors arrived at the scene , the whole street was blown up by powerful magic, Sirius stood in the ruins and laughed wildly. On the ground were Muggle corpses and a piece of Peter Pedro's finger."

Regulus frowned.

"Barty Crouch has always had a tough attitude towards Death Eaters. He thought this matter was very simple. After Sirius betrayed the Potters, he also killed Pedro who came to question him and took twelve hemp bags with him. He was buried with melons. So without trial, Sirius was thrown into Azkaban." Dumbledore spread his hands to indicate that he had finished speaking.

"I think it is necessary to interview him. Can you arrange for me to visit Azkaban in prison?" Regulus felt that the whole incident was not as simple as Barty Crouch thought.

"In principle, Azkaban does not allow visits to life-imprisoned felons, especially Sirius, who is defined as an extremely dangerous follower of Voldemort and the number two Death Eater."

"If he really has this ability... But if he could meet Bella in Azkaban, it would be an interesting scene." Regulus sneered.

"And - please forgive me for being rude - given the position of the Black family at the time, people regarded Sirius's betrayal of the family as a ploy for him to go undercover. Only in this way could he win the trust of those who fought against Voldemort. The subsequent betrayal It will fall into place naturally.”

"interesting."

"Unless you can find evidence to prove that Sirius did not betray James Potter, nor was he the murderer of Peter Pedro and twelve Muggles, otherwise, he will not be able to escape guilt."

"I will investigate." Regulus stood up and left the principal's office.

There were no classes in the afternoon, so Regulus locked himself in his office, with a copy of "Advanced Dark Arts Revealed" borrowed from Dumbledore spread out on his knees.

According to the book, Horcruxes were invented and first successfully manufactured by the despicable Herbo, a dark wizard in ancient Greece.

Although the production method has been passed down, there are no records of other wizards successfully making Horcruxes except Haierbo.

Until Voldemort showed up.

Legend shows that Haierbo's Horcrux was not destroyed, and he may still be alive in this world.

This also means that no Horcrux has ever been destroyed, and the methods of destroying Horcruxes recorded in the book are just conjectures.

Regulus closed the book and threw it into his briefcase. Since he had no clue, he put it aside for the time being. There were other important things.

"Kreacher." He summoned his elf.

There was a loud bang, and the old elf apparated into his office.

"Master Regulus summoned Kreacher. Isn't it because the food at Hogwarts is not delicious? They don't understand the master's taste..." Kreacher started chatting as soon as he saw Regulus.

"Kreacher, don't worry about the taste of the food for now. I need you to do one thing. Help me investigate a person and find his recent whereabouts." Regulus stopped Kreacher from nagging, "His name is Rai. Mus Lupin, if you don't know him, there's a picture of him in Sirius' room."

Kreacher kept nodding and muttering to himself.

"Remember, Kreacher, you just need to find out where he is and report to me. If you encounter danger, this mission will be terminated immediately, do you understand?" Regulus added.

"Find Remus Lupin and tell the Master to obey."

There was a loud bang and Kreacher disappeared.
