"Can I try this spell?" Barnaby Lee asked curiously.

"Of course you can, but I have to warn you in advance, don't expect too much." Regulus said nonchalantly.

So Barnaby Lee tried a dozen times, but never succeeded.

"Everyone has a little secret. Take Miss Tonks for example. She may not be your opponent in a duel, but can you change your appearance as freely as she does?"

Li was speechless.

"Is there anything else?" Regulus finished cleaning up the classroom, but found that Li still had no intention of leaving.

"Sir, you know my parents very well, right?" Li lowered his voice and asked hesitantly.

"I've met him a few times, but I'm not particularly familiar with him." Regulus told the truth.

"What kind of people are they? No one has ever told me about them. I only know that they are..." At this point, Li hesitated.

"Death Eaters." Regulus took over his words, "Yes, no one would gossip about their parents in front of their children, especially since there are many taboos here."

"A few days after the fall of the mysterious man, they were also captured in Azkaban. I was eight years old that year." Barnaby Lee's voice was so low that he was completely unlike himself. "Ever since I was sensible, my father My image is that of a grumpy guy who scolds me every half hour and will sting me if I dare to shed tears."

Regulus was silent. It seemed that every family had a sutra that was difficult to recite.

"When I was seven years old, there was a mysterious person holding a rally near our house. I saw them, like that -" Li searched hard for an adjective, "groveling, that's about it. The mysterious person was very angry that day. It is said that he Because they didn't catch the Potters..."

"Do you remember it so clearly?" Regulus couldn't help but concentrate when he heard the names of the Potters.

"I will never forget what happened that day, sir, and if you don't mind, please don't tell anyone else what you saw next..." Barnaby Lee seemed determined.

Regulus nodded solemnly, closed the classroom door with his wand, and cast a protective spell.

Barnaby Lee took off his robe and lifted up his shirt.

Regulus felt an uncomfortable churn in his stomach.

There were countless criss-crossing, tangled and twisted ugly scars, like terrifying worms, entrenched on Barnaby Lee's body, from his ribs to his entire back.

"The mysterious man punished them all, and Joseph Lee, my father, punished me after the mysterious man left." There was no trace of ripples in Li's tone, "He had many ways to prevent me from dying on the spot. .”

"Child, I have to apologize to you. I didn't know..." Regulus could already understand why Barnaby Lee was so anxious when he mentioned the Lees.

"It's okay, sir." Li put on his robe again.

"So why do you want to inquire about them?" Regulus asked seriously.

"If you don't understand them, how can you defeat them?" Li seemed confident. "My parents, and maybe my grandmother, the only thing they taught me was to become stronger. Only in this way can I control my own destiny. For me, the first step is to beat them.”

"That's right." Regulus praised him and summoned two chairs. "Then I will be a guest teacher of the history of magic and tell you a little about the situation at that time. Sit down."

"First of all, you have to know the situation at that time. When your parents were young, the Muggle world had just ended a global war. It was a terrible disaster, and many wizards were also involved." Regulus began to tell, " When the war calmed down, most wizards believed that Muggles could no longer be allowed to behave like this, because if there was another war, the wizarding world would probably be reduced to nothing."

"When the wizarding world was in confusion, the Dark Lord appeared. He expressed his position in a timely manner, 'Establishing the rule of wizards over Muggles, so that the status of pure-blood wizards will always be at the top.' It is conceivable that at that time, What a provocative idea.”

Barnaby Lee nodded.

"At that time, the vast majority of pure-blood wizard families agreed with this concept and supported the Dark Lord openly or covertly. Those who were more radical among them became followers of the Dark Lord, that is, Death Eaters." At this point, Lei Gulus glanced at his left forearm involuntarily.

Li was so absorbed in listening that he didn't notice Regulus' little movement.

"Facts later proved that the Dark Lord's actions did not bring glory to pure-blood wizards, but instead triggered a new war. Wizards killed each other, and how much precious blood was wasted."

"Even within the Death Eaters, there are different elements. Some hope to follow the Dark Lord to gain greater power and higher status, but after discovering that reality and ideals are increasingly contrary to each other, they find a way out for themselves... Regulus cleared his throat and continued, "The other group simply enjoys killing and terror. They are willing to cause pain to others and take pleasure in doing so. Under the command of the Dark Lord, they can do whatever they want. to do so.”

"Unfortunately, my parents are this kind of people." Li immediately concluded, "So they are basically hopeless."

"I regret this, as far as I know it is true." Regulus sighed.

"Thank you, sir." Barnaby Lee stood up and was about to leave, but was stopped by Regulus.

"Is there anything else, sir?"

"You just said that the Dark Lord was very angry because of what happened to the Potters. Can you still remember what the specific matter was?" Regulus asked.

"I'm very sorry for making you think about what happened that day." Regulus hurriedly added before Li could answer.

"I didn't hear much. Maybe the mysterious person called them trash, and the ambush failed even though an insider tipped them off in advance." Li frowned, trying to remember.

"Have you heard the name of the spy?" Regulus suddenly stood up and asked eagerly.

This sudden movement startled Barnaby Lee.

"I'm sorry... I also know the Potters. They died. I hope to find justice for them." Regulus concealed it.

"That's it...Sorry, sir, I can't remember." Li shook his head.

"Well, you have to go to the auditorium quickly, otherwise you will be hungry in the afternoon." Regulus lifted the protective spell in the classroom and opened the door.

"It's okay, I know how to get to the kitchen." Li smiled and ran out of the classroom.

"Wait a minute." Regulus stopped Li again, "Last question, how old were you then?"

"Seven years old, is there any problem here? Sir?" Li asked doubtfully.

"No problem, let's go."
