After watching Sirius and Harry leave, Dumbledore let out a sigh of relief.

"You two, if you have nothing urgent to do, just take a walk with me, an old man who has nothing to do, okay?"

It seemed like they were asking for advice, but neither Regulus nor Lupine raised any objections.

The three of them walked aimlessly along the dim street.

"Mr. Principal, why do you act like... settling this child is more important than preventing the Dark Lord from getting the Philosopher's Stone?" Regulus spoke, breaking the silence.

"I thought you had the same idea as me," Dumbledore said with a smile, "otherwise why would you volunteer to protect Harry?"

"Because I'm not at ease with certain two people. Even I can see that the guy who just flew away on a motorcycle -" Regulus pointed to the sky, "- can't get along with Snape at all. You But you have illusions about them?”

"I agree with Regulus, Padfoot and Severus on this point. They are like fire and ice. There is no way... In short, it is right not to let them meet." Lupine touched his nose uncomfortably. "Mr. Principal, when he appointed me as prefect, he probably hoped that I could stop their contradictory plans from proceeding. Unfortunately, I let everyone down."

"That's because you don't want to lose this hard-won friendship." Dumbledore said gently to Lupine, "In a sense, stopping a friend is much harder than stopping an enemy..."

Even though the light from the street lamp was very dim, you could still tell that there was some blood on Lupine's pale face.

A Muggle couple suddenly emerged from the bushes, but they acted like they had not seen the three of them at all.

Lupine looked embarrassed and turned his head away from them.

"It's a very powerful disembodiment spell and confusion spell. If people can learn this trick, the seller of the invisibility cloak will go bankrupt." Regulus praised, as if he was not worried about his voice being heard.

"It's just a boring little application. I'm not the only one who can hide myself without an invisibility cloak." Dumbledore said lightly, "Stop talking about these things, Regulus, tell me your doubts." Well, we just have some time."

"Then with all due respect, I don't see any special talent in that child, Harry Potter, and as far as I know, he is not the only child who was orphaned because of the Dark Lord. Why do you all Do people...including the Dark Lord value him so much?"

"Do you believe in fate?" Dumbledore did not answer, but asked this rhetorical question.

"Destiny? I once believed in it, but now I believe in myself more." Regulus said firmly.

"Once upon a time, I was so confident..." Dumbledore sighed, "Maybe Voldemort also thought that he could be above fate, so he chose to go to Godric's Hollow and kill Harry. Unfortunately, it backfired. ah."

"You mean, this boy is destined to defeat the Dark Lord? Are all those boring bedtime stories true? All our... efforts have been in vain?" Regulus' mood was somewhat agitated. Unstable, "As long as Harry Potter stands in front of the Dark Lord, will he automatically defeat him?"

"I didn't mean that. Everything we have done so far is worthwhile and is the necessary preparation to defeat Voldemort." Dumbledore said seriously, "When Harry grows up, he may have enough skills to fight against Voldemort." power, but now, he is just a child who lost his parents."

"You're always right," Regulus said disapprovingly.

"I think it's very difficult for Harry. Mrs. Figg told me that his aunt and uncle didn't treat him very well." Lupine tried to change the subject, "Growing up in that kind of environment... But I think he still has Very healthy and optimistic.”

"Yes, I'm really optimistic. I'm going for a ride on a flying motorcycle with someone I've known for less than 10 minutes, and I have to move out to live with him." Regulus said in a bad tone, "What if we weren't the ones visiting the house just now? But... the Dark Lord's people took some gentle measures and cast some spells on the child's aunt and uncle to get them to cooperate... Now Potter has had dinner with the Dark Lord."

"The situations you mentioned didn't happen, did they?" Dumbledore said slyly, "We don't need to worry about things that didn't happen in the past. We have to look forward."

Having said that, Regulus wisely chose not to argue with Dumbledore about Harry.

"Sir, is everything going well over there in Godric's Hollow?" Lupine immediately started another topic.

"In order for me to stay there, Voldemort had to act like he was determined to win. The scene was really lively. Many of Nico's French compatriots came... and African wizards. They cast spells without wands... You really do that kind of dance. You should see it, it's eye-opening." Dumbledore replied immediately.

"Why did they help Voldemort grab the Sorcerer's Stone? Did Voldemort recruit a group of new supporters in Europe during the time he was hiding? Like...foreign Death Eaters?" Lupine asked.

"About this, I think I have a better say." Regulus took over, "Not just anyone can be a Death Eater."

Lupine wanted to ask clearly, but felt that this question was a bit rude to Regulus, so he froze there, hesitating and unable to speak.

"Even ten years ago, there were not many Death Eaters." Regulus continued expressionlessly, "Not everyone can become a Death Eater. You must have certain qualities that make you a Death Eater." The Dark Lord only thinks he can take advantage of it."

"High-status Death Eaters, such as Lucius Malfoy, the Lestrange brothers, Travers, and Rosier, are born from pure-blood wizard families that support the Dark Lord. In addition to having a certain status in the wizarding world, they can also spend a large sum of gold Galleons to support the activities of the Death Eaters. People like Crabbe and Goyle were able to get into their positions purely because of Malfoy's influence. .”

"As for Dolohov, Rookwood, including Karkaroff and...Snape, these people are either powerful or have special skills. And my cousin Bellatrix, she As a fanatical pure-blood supporter and a powerful witch, the Dark Lord relies on her very much." Regulus turned to Lupin and added, "The Greyback you are familiar with, with his status among the werewolves, He didn't even become a Death Eater, let alone these werewolf cannon fodder he created?"

Lupine lowered his head, looking thoughtful.

"I think besides Peter and that Lockhart, there are other people who are giving advice to the Dark Lord, otherwise he wouldn't be able to make such a big splash."

"Perhaps there are former Death Eaters who are already secretly helping him."

Regulus's last words were addressed to Dumbledore.
