Chapter 52 Godric's Hollow

Regulus felt that those who could sleep peacefully on the Knight Bus were definitely not ordinary people.

Because the car not only made a huge noise the whole way, but also jumped forward a hundred miles with every twitch.

After nearly being knocked off the bed several times, he had to cast a few spells on himself to prevent him from being thrown against the car window by inertia.

Finally, after a short but long hour, the Knight Bus crossed the entire island of Great Britain from Aberdeenshire in the northeast to Godric's Hollow in the southwest.

Several new passengers were also picked up on the way, each with their own strange features, such as a bald wizard with an American accent, and a guy who looked like a Persian wearing a strange turban.

Standing on solid ground again, Regulus couldn't help but remember the feeling he felt after riding a broomstick for the first time. At that time, his legs were weak and he felt dizzy after he got off.

At this time, it was dark.

Within Godric's Hollow is a village.

Unlike Hogsmeade, although there are many wizards living in Godric's Hollow, they all live together with Muggles, so the entire village not only has the antiquity and mystery of wizards, but also the technological equipment of Muggles.

On both sides of the alley, golden street lights have been turned on, and the faint aroma of food drifts to the road from the tightly closed windows.

In the dark blue sky in the west, where there is still a glimmer of light, the crescent moon is like a hook and Venus is bright.

Regulus walked along the alley, past the illuminated houses, and after turning left at the end, he came to a small square.

It seems that this small square is the center of this village.

There is an obelisk in the center of the square, surrounded by some small shops, such as restaurants, bars, post offices, and even a church.

People come and go from time to time, and it is impossible to tell whether they are wizards or Muggles from their clothing. Because they have been living together for many years, the wizards here are well hidden from Muggles.

Regulus walked slowly to the obelisk. The stone monument changed and turned into a group of stone sculptures.

A boy, a girl, and a baby.

The man has messy hair and wears glasses.

The woman had long hair and looked at the baby boy in her arms with a smile.

Regulus remembered them, James Potter and Lily Evans.

And that baby boy should be the legendary Harry Potter.

Regulus stared at Harry's statue, hoping to find something special about it.

The baby boy looked ordinary, but he did what countless people could not do, and stopped the most evil and powerful dark wizard at that time.

"good evening."

A greeting suddenly sounded, interrupting Regulus's thoughts.

Dumbledore appeared beside him silently, rarely wearing the gorgeous dark purple wizard robe embroidered with stars. Instead, he wore a red velvet suit, paired with a waist-length white beard and white hair. Seems very strange.

Before Regulus could comment on his strange attire, Dumbledore suddenly asked: "Is the matter settled?"

"Lupine is watching. There should be no problem. He seems to be a guy who knows his priorities." Regulus replied calmly.

"Yes, I thought so before. I even made Remus a prefect, hoping to control them. Unfortunately, it backfired!" Dumbledore sighed.

"You invited me here to tell me a story, right? We are both very busy." Regulus finally looked away from the statue, and the statue slowly turned into an obelisk.

There were Muggles walking by in the distance, but they didn't seem to realize that the obelisk could change its shape.

"Let's talk as we walk." Dumbledore pointed in the direction of the church.

The two walked through the church, which was not crowded with many people, passed through a narrow door, and walked along the path to a cemetery.

Regulus knew that James Potter and his wife were buried there.

The stained glass of the church reflects countless red, green and gold spots on the ground, making the rows of tombstones colorful.

At a certain moment, Regulus felt that Dumbledore's steps were a little heavy.

Perhaps it was because he felt sad about seeing the graves of those two proud students?

After Dumbledore hesitated for a moment, he strode past a moss-covered granite tombstone and arrived at a white marble tombstone.

The letters on the tombstone shone brightly in the dark night, and Regulus could make out the inscriptions without going too close.

The inscription is engraved with the names of James Potter and his wife, the dates of birth and death, and an epitaph.

"The last enemy to be destroyed is death."

Regulus frowned.

"What does this mean?" he asked Dumbledore doubtfully.

When he mentioned defeating death, the first person he thought of was Voldemort.

Dumbledore stared at Regulus deeply for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said: "No, it's not what you think. Voldemort is afraid of death, so he took a name that means 'flying away from death'. He will Making a Horcrux prevents you from facing death, but you can never defeat death."

After saying that, Dumbledore conjured a bouquet of flowers and placed them in front of the Potters' graves, and then whispered to Regulus: "Let's go."

"You invited me here just to worship them?" Regulus also conjured up a bouquet of flowers, and after hesitating for a moment, added another bouquet.

"It's just one of those things, I have a plan, follow me." Dumbledore said softly.

The two walked along a dark street leading out of the village until they reached a house.

It is said to be a house, but it is actually more like a pile of ruins. The right side of the top room was half destroyed by the bomb. The furniture inside was already covered with vines. The shrubs and flowers in the yard were growing in disorder, as if they had not been there for ten years. Man trimmed.

"You should have guessed where this is." Dumbledore sighed.

"Potter's house." Regulus reached out and touched the rusty iron door.

When his fingers touched the iron door, a wooden sign suddenly rose from the ground.

The wooden sign reads in neat golden writing:

1981 year 10 month 31 day,

Lily and James Potter died here.

Their son Harry is the only one

A wizard who survived the Killing Curse.

The house, invisible to Muggles, was preserved as it was,

To commemorate the Potter couple with this ruin,

And a warning to the violence that left their family shattered.

In addition, there are many inscriptions left by wizards who "came here". Some only left their initials, while others wrote long messages.

"We have finished visiting the memorial hall, what are the plans?" Regulus asked.

"You should have understood that this valley is of great significance to Voldemort. If he fails here, he will definitely want to rise again here." Dumbledore whispered, "So I decided to put the Sorcerer's Stone in the Here, lure him out.”

Regulus turned around to face Dumbledore, trying to tell from his expression whether the old headmaster was joking.

"are you serious?"
