"This charge is not light."

Hearing Regulus' words, Dumbledore adjusted his glasses, his eyes bright.

"There are not many people who meet the requirements. Those die-hard Death Eaters were either captured in Azkaban or killed by Aurors, such as Rosier and Wilkes." Lupine counted on his fingers. Said, "Lucius Malfoy and Avery both lied about being under the Imperius Curse and escaped trial...but in fact they bribed the Ministry of Magic with a large sum of gold galleons, which was undoubtedly effective. Yes, they are thriving now and are even more comfortable than they were ten years ago."

"As for Karkaroff...he is now the principal of Durmstrang. Even if Voldemort comes back, it is impossible to give him a higher status. Of course he has no need to do such a thing." Lupine concluded.

"And in order to escape guilt, Igor confessed many hidden Death Eaters. I'm afraid he is more unwilling to see Voldemort come back than we are." Dumbledore added.

"So, Voldemort will not trust these people." Lupine said firmly, "But I really can't think of anyone else who has been missed."

"I have to correct your wording. The Dark Lord never trusts anyone. He only uses Death Eaters." Regulus said coldly, "His situation is not good now. If he cannot 'forgive' these people temporarily His betrayal can only push them completely against him."

"I agree with this statement," Dumbledore said. "Using is a very straightforward and appropriate description. He not only uses Death Eaters, but also uses everyone who can be used."

"Like these guys today." Regulus said with disdain.

"So sir... did you find anything in Godric's Hollow?" Lupine suddenly asked Dumbledore.

"Many people were captured in Godric's Hollow. I briefly checked them before they were handed over to the dementors by Cornelius." Dumbledore said, "The memories of those people have been modified. One of the things they have in common is that , they are all implanted with the command to be absolutely loyal to their 'master', even though they don't know who the 'master' is."

"Not the Imperius Curse?" Lu Ping looked confused.

"I'm afraid not. No wizard can use the Imperius Curse to control dozens of people at the same time, and let them divide the work in an orderly manner." Dumbledore analyzed, "But implanting memories is much more convenient, I have to say This is a very clever method, just tell those people that what you are doing now is the order of the 'master', and don't bother to explain too much."

Regulus recalled the battle with Gilderoy Lockhart just now.

"It seems that Lockhart is probably responsible. His forgetting spell is really powerful. No wonder he wants to destroy his own memory..." At this point, Regulus's voice became smaller and smaller. His face gradually became serious.

"What's wrong?" Dumbledore asked softly.

"I thought of a possibility. Since Lockhart can implant false memories into these people, if he had already backed up his own memories..."

"It is indeed possible, but the most likely place he will go is Azkaban. There should be no one there to send him memories." Dumbledore said in a comforting tone.

But Regulus had little faith in this consolation.

The top brass of the Ministry of Magic have always had their own agenda, and will do anything as long as they can gain power for themselves.

God knows whether Cornelius Fudge, who has been constantly confused by big news soon after taking office, will get out of his way.

"That Lockhart, no matter what he did, he can't stand trial now." Lupine forced a smile, "Let's think about something good, Peter was caught, which means that Padfoot is very The charges will be cleared soon..."

"Looking at Amelia's energy, I think she has prepared Veritaserum and Legilimens now to escort Peter to the trial hall." Regulus followed Lupin's words, "If I was right, people will see this news on the front page of the Daily Prophet tomorrow."

"Speaking of Sirius, I have to ask you for something." Dumbledore suddenly stopped and said solemnly to the two of them, "I can foresee that Sirius will be very caring...or doting on Harry. I I hope you can restrain him a little."

"I will try my best." Lupine smiled bitterly and scratched his hair, as if he was still the Gryffindor student back then and was being talked to by the principal. "I disappointed you when I was in school. I can get you again." I am so ashamed of your trust.”

"You can certainly do better, Remus." Dumbledore smiled encouragingly at Lupine, then turned to Regulus and looked at him questioningly.

"My brother will not listen to anyone's advice, and you all know this." Regulus said stiffly, "But I will consider fulfilling the duties of a professor and let Potter know how to be a qualified wizard. "

"Thank you." Dumbledore said sincerely.

A moment of silence followed.

"Calculating the time, they should arrive in London by now. Why don't we break up the meeting?" Regulus couldn't stand this atmosphere and made a suggestion.

Dumbledore took out a pocket watch, squinted at the time, and said exaggeratedly: "Yes, going to bed properly early is the secret to longevity. I suggest you do the same! Goodbye, gentlemen!"

With a snap, Dumbledore disapparated, moving so fast that he didn't even look like a centenarian.

Regulus and Lupine were left looking at each other.

"The secret to longevity...how old is he this year?" Regulus asked seriously.

"About 120 years old...give or take a few decades." Lu Ping tried his best to suppress a smile and replied, "You are asking me, I have never tested this question."

Because of Dumbledore's departure, the Disillusionment Curse was lifted. In the eyes of Muggles passing by on the road, Regulus and Lupine stood on the roadside laughing as if they had drunk fake wine.

"Regulus, I still have to thank you." Lupine suddenly stopped smiling and spoke in a serious tone.

"Didn't I say that? There is no need to thank me about your big feet." Regulus replied calmly.

"No... this time it's for Harry." Lupine stared at his toes, feeling a little depressed, "You know my relationship with James and the others, and you also know my identity. I am destined to only watch from a distance. Leigh... I'm very happy that you can agree to Dumbledore's request. I know you don't have to do this..."

"From your tone, do you think I will do your job?" Regulus said sharply, "You are overthinking. I will not help you convey any feelings, and I have no obligation to Potter. , you'd better say what you want to say clearly to that child face to face. And I believe that if you say these words to Sirius, you will get the same reply!"

After saying that, Regulus also disapparated, leaving Lupine distraught on the street.
