Crossing into Regulus

Regulus had received a letter from Harry one night, apparently written in an emergency, scrawled almost in a single line, and scratched in many places.

It looks like the writer is very angry.

Regulus read the letter carefully, and then thought, maybe he was very wronged.

Harry was wronged by his classmates at school.

It is said to be because of some Parseltongue.He said he just told the snake not to attack his classmates, but others thought he was abetting it.He didn't understand how such an obvious fact was distorted by the audience, he thought they were all stupid.

Regulus smiled and looked at the love you hastily written on Harry's signature, and he could almost imagine the bright green eyes contained in the little guy's red eye sockets, as well as his cheeks puffed up with anger.

This moment of contemplation was interrupted by Hedwig who was waiting for a reply. It stared at Regulus with its beautiful big eyes, flapped its wings impatiently, and made a sound of plapura.

Regulus hurriedly comforted Hedwig, took out a piece of parchment, and said, "Okay, I'm writing, I'm writing."

Hedwig fell silent with satisfaction.

Regulus was in trouble when he mentioned the pen, at least he knew that he couldn’t teach a child a nonchalant attitude, but the dispute Harry mentioned seemed innocuous to him, and he really didn’t know how to comfort the little guy .You can't say that even a quarrel was a precious friendship when you were young, and now Harry still can't understand this kind of old people's feelings.Moreover, as far as Regulus himself is concerned, he actually does not agree with this statement. A quarrel is a quarrel, and there will be no good-faith turning point in being wronged. Children who hurt others are no different from devils, because they are unscrupulous. , and adults escorted them.

Thinking of Regulus, he sighed, and wrote in the letter that if Harry was sad, he could go and see him. As for the attitude of others, there was nothing he could do, at least Ron and Hermione were still by his side , having a few friends like this is actually more important than the support of most people.

In the middle of the night, Harry wrote again. He said that he knew, and that if Leyle was not to go to school, the classmates would be hostile along with Leyle. He was just too angry just now, but he is much better now.

This letter does not need to be answered.

Harry added this at the end.

Regulus smiled slightly.

Then he thought about the fact that Harry hadn't slept so late.

Gotta get some instant messaging, or Harry's always going to sleep and wait.

Regulus got it out before Christmas.There are two books with illustrations on the reverse side of each paper. The illustration on the inside page of one book is the cover of the other, and they are a pair.

When he showed the book to Arthur and Molly, they all thought it was good, but when asked about the reason, Regulus made up a random reason to fool him, and said that he made it by accident, and he didn't know why. not very clear.

The source of inspiration is the Mark of the Death Eaters.

He dared not really tell them.

He also remembered the Dark Lord, oh, Voldemort, well, You-Know-Who, the stamp he put on the arms of his men, which could be used for communication.He just changed it slightly, writing on the blank page in the opposite book will appear on the blank page of the other book, because they are actually written on the formation above the illustration.

Of course, the formation is printed upside down, so that the formation is correct on the reversed front.This also ensures that the secrets of the illustrations cannot be discovered.Although it was adapted by Regulus using what he had learned in the past, it is hard to guarantee that some smart people will not discover the connection between it and the Death Eater mark.

So Regulus sent one of the books along with Molly's gift to Harry at Christmas.He added under Molly's note that he wanted to make a cake for Harry too, but that failed, and that he didn't want to try knitting a sweater.

That notebook obviously played a big role.After dinner, Regulus found writing on the open book.

It was Harry trying it out, and soon another handwriting showed up, Ron of course.Molly also wrote a few words on it excitedly.

Arthur and Regulus stood together and looked at Molly's back, Arthur said, "It's really convenient, Rael, you're a genius, you know we can't buy this kind of notebook, it's too expensive gone."

Regulus decided in his heart that it would be even better to have such a notebook.

Since he got the book, Regulus found that raising children really requires professional knowledge. He used to spend most of the time away from Harry, and Harry would only write to him after the matter was over. Xin, although this is very obedient and distressing, but for a person like Regulus who has nothing important in the world, if you tell him there is nothing important, he will really think there is nothing.

But now, Harry will angrily or happily write down various long and short sentences in the notebook after he gets emotional, even if sometimes he realizes that he has to conceal it, and he will report the good news instead of the bad news, and the little guy Ron will help Plus, there was Hermione, who would sue Regulus when she couldn't persuade the two boys.

Although Regulus would not rush to school to teach Harry a lesson for this—whether he would teach him a lesson is another matter—but seeing Rael’s comments in the notebook, Harry would also feel guilty, as if Ray Er was beside him, invisible as usual.

But one day Regulus suddenly found that Hermione's handwriting hadn't appeared for a while, and the number of times Harry and Ron wrote to him had also decreased, so he asked directly if they had an affair with Hermione. what's the problem.

In fact, Regulus just wanted to say, are you guys having trouble with Hermione?

It turned out that what Harry wrote back surprised him.Harry said that Hermione was petrified and stayed in the medical wing all the time, and he also saw a diary that could write by himself in school this semester. It was left by a student 50 years ago. There were basilisks in the school. , now everyone is panicking, and Dumbledore has been jointly impeached by the board of directors.

Regulus received so many messages at once, he was a little overwhelmed, he waited until after dinner to avoid Molly and tell Arthur.

Arthur stared at the book without saying a word, his reaction was much stronger than Regulus's.It was only then that Regulus realized that it wasn't a child's exaggeration. He tentatively asked Arthur, "Um, how about I go to school to see how things are going?"

Arthur waved his hand, "Wait a minute, don't let Molly know, there are so many teachers in the school, it's safe there, but I have to go to the ministry, Dumbledore is gone, the school is in danger at this time There were rumors of a basilisk, and there were rumors of a mysterious person returning last year, these are too strange, I have to inquire about them.”

As Arthur said, he put on his coat again, and called to Molly at the other end, "Honey, I have something to do, I'll go out for a while."

Molly waved her hand as she ordered the dishes to be washed.

Regulus sent Arthur out. He leaned on the door frame and waved to Arthur. Just as he was about to say don't worry, he saw a school owl flying towards the Burrow. He stopped on the low cabinet at hand.

Regulus took the letter from the owl's foot and handed it to Arthur, it was from Percy.

Arthur was stunned when he opened it, his face quickly turned pale, and the letter fell from his fingers.Regulus reached out to grab it, blinked, looked up at Arthur and then at the letter paper.

It said that Ginny was captured by the basilisk and taken into the secret room.

Arthur took a deep breath at this moment, staggered into the door, and called out to Molly, "Ginny, Ginny!"

Molly turned around, wiped her hands indiscriminately, ran over and helped Arthur sit down, and after listening to him take a deep breath, said in a deep voice, "Molly, something happened to Ginny, we have to go to school immediately."

Molly immediately leaned back on the chair tremblingly, and Regulus quickly cast a small-scale calming spell on the two of them.

"Don't panic, let's go now." Regulus said softly.He got a glass of water for both of them, and gave Molly a sip, "Get dressed." Breaking away Molly's fingers that were gripping him tightly, "I'm going to get the Floo powder, Percy has already applied for a license." The passageway to the headmaster's room in Lanffindor, I think someone there is already waiting to explain the situation to us, don't worry."

Molly just sobbed softly, letting Arthur half-hold her into the green flames.

Regulus followed behind Weasley.

Not knowing whether it was because he was the last to enter or for some other reason, Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall both set their eyes on him and stayed for a while.

Regulus walked out of the fire with a calm expression, greeted the two of them, and then sat down beside Molly.

Dumbledore looked away from Regulus and said apologetically to the Weasleys, "I don't think we need any more bad news about Miss Weasley, I have to say , now there is good news."

Molly looked at Dumbledore with open still weeping eyes, and Arthur held Molly's hand.

"Just now, before you came, Fawkes flew out, apparently a brave and righteous man called for it, I think he must have found Miss Weasley, now we just need to wait for Fawkes to bring them back. "

Molly obviously couldn't adapt to Dumbledore's mysterious and frivolous words, but she admitted Dumbledore's prestige from the bottom of her heart, and she seemed a little at a loss at the moment.

So did Arthur.

Regulus didn't think much of it, he had an intuition that Dumbledore was powerful, and he never took the trouble to doubt what the strong said, so he was the only one who was really quiet here at this moment, and he had time to comfort the Weasleys .

So Dumbledore turned his attention to him again.

In the quiet dean's room, only Mo Li's sobbing was still ringing.

Soon, there was a knock at the door, and then Harry and Ron appeared outside the opened door with Ginny, followed by Professor Lockhart with a blank smile on his face, all four of them were covered in slime and mud, There was blood, Fawkes flew in from above their heads, made a melodious clear cry, and landed beside Dumbledore.

Molly screamed and rushed to hug Ginny.

It was a total mess.

Regulus opened his mouth to see Molly and Arthur hugging and kissing them as hard as they could see the sticky stuff that was dripping from the little guy's hair and down his body, and he feebly used it on the group of people. A powerful sweeping spell, and the resulting mass of filth - which also contained lockhart's locks of hair - was thrown into the fire.

He also noticed that Harry was looking at him through the crowd, and he gave him a quick, reassuring smile.

Then Harry walked up to him, and put the battered hat, the silver sword, and the blackened book that were tucked under his arm on the table.

As he did so Harry gave Regulus a wary look, who didn't understand what that meant as a reaction, but then he understood in Harry's narration.

Once again the little guy is hiding a lot of truth.

Regulus frowned and held back his silence. He noticed Dumbledore's gaze at this moment, so he looked up at Mr. Principal as well.

This is not the first time that Harry took the initiative to solve the problem. Before, he thought it was a child who didn't know what was important, but this time he faced the principal directly, and he felt a little dissatisfied.

He didn't believe the headmaster wouldn't find out about these things that Harry could find out.

What is this?Growth education?

Too dangerous.

When everyone in the dean's room was almost gone, Regulus asked Harry to stand in his arms, put his hands on the little guy's shoulders, and said solemnly, "Harry, if there is another time , I won’t be waiting at home for you to tell me what happened, I will come and solve the problem myself, understand?”

Harry lowered his head in shame, and whispered, "Yes, Rael, I'm sorry."

Regulus looked at the little Harry who bowed his head and admitted his mistake, and his heart softened again. He had just done a big thing, and he should be encouraged, so he said, "You did a good job, look, Mr. Principal Say you're a real Gryffindor, don't be depressed. And different houses don't mean anything, just the location of the lounge is different, I'm still a Slytherin, do you think I'm bad?"

"No, Rael, of course you are fine, you are the best." Harry said quickly.

"Look, you know," Regulus pinched Harry's cheek with a smile, "Just like Slytherin contains intelligence and determination, Gryffindor also contains recklessness and impulsiveness, so no house is Simply good or bad, don't be fooled by other people who are ignorant and spreading falsehoods, okay?"

Harry nodded, though he still looked a little unconvinced.Regulus didn't care. He didn't really want to give Harry a college lecture right now. Now that Harry didn't try to make a fool of himself, that was enough.

"I have to say, Mr. Black, your insights are wonderful, and I've always wanted to tell people that." Dumbledore interjected with a smile.

Regulus noticed Harry looking up at him, oh, he forgot, he hadn't solved the lie about the guardian elves yet.But, well, he turned to look at Dumbledore, "Well, Mr. Headmaster, we can talk some time, but for now, Harry and I have to go first."

"Okay." Dumbledore was still smiling.

But they didn't make it, just when Regulus reached out to pull the doorknob, the door was knocked open with great force.

Regulus quickly retracted his arms.

Outside the door stood an angry Mr. Blonde.The gentleman looked so dignified even when he was angry, and of course it would have been better if he didn't have a house-elf under his arm.

Regulus pulled Harry aside so that Mr. Blonde's long legs could step in.

The moment Regulus passed by, he remembered that this person was Lucius Malfoy.

Sure enough, Dumbledore called his name lightly, "Lucius."

But Regulus didn't pay attention to the conversation between the two, his eyes were attracted by Dobby who was thrown on the ground behind.The elf was doing all kinds of strange movements silently, intending to convey a message to Harry.The moves were so ridiculous that Regulus had to cut out most of them to make the useful ones stand out.

Dobby was saying that it was his master who put the diary in Ginny's schoolbook.

Harry understood, too, and he glanced at Regulus, who looked back with a smile, and suddenly Harry spoke up, "Don't you want to know how Ginny got this diary, Mr Malfoy? "

Lucius Malfoy turned his eyes to Harry.

"You gave it to her. At Lihen Bookstore, you picked up her transformation textbook and secretly stuffed the diary in it, didn't you?"

Regulus could feel sweat dripping from the palms of Harry's hands, but from the little guy's bright eyes, he was angry, not nervous.

really not bad.

Mr. Malfoy lifted his chin so he could look down and make a contemptuous expression, but the expression died halfway, he seemed to have just seen Regulus, er, but he did see it. There was someone beside Leigh.Mr. Malfoy interrupted his expression, before he had time to adjust his voice, he said in a hoarse voice, "Is there any evidence?"

"Oh, of course, not now." Dumbledore said behind everyone's back with a smile.

Maybe it's because the hidden meaning behind Dumbledore's words is too obvious, or maybe Regulus, who is the most boring here at the moment, has a greater impact on Mr. Malfoy. Clenching his fist tightly, he shouted "Go!" at the elf, opened the door and rushed out.

Dobby hurried to follow.

Harry was stunned for a while, but also grabbed the diary and chased after him.

Leave Regulus and Dumbledore behind.

Regulus blinked and said, "Uh, Mr. Principal." He didn't know what to say or where to start.He believed Sev's reminder that he had been by Harry's side for the past ten years, and he must have been known by the headmaster, so he didn't know what else to say.

Dumbledore shook his head like a normal old man, and then he said, "Regulus, I used to wonder why you were by Harry's side, but I've seen it all these years, I think , although it is often said that it would be ridiculous if Death Eaters repented, I have an example here, so I would like to believe you, so, can you talk to me, an old man? After all, good communication can Many tragedies have been avoided."

Regulus was a little uncomfortable with Dumbledore's sudden aging, but he first rolled up his sleeves, revealing his two intact arms, "Yes, but I have to say first, I am no longer a Death Eater gone."

"Oh..." Dumbledore approached, grabbed Regulus' left arm and looked at it again and again, his hand was still covered with a layer of light film and touched his arm, exclaiming, "You How? I think I'm interested in that."

"Uh, I didn't do this. I woke up like this. I always felt that Merlin gave me this. After all, what I've been thinking about is how to get out of here—" he tapped his arm, "—to get rid of it."

"Are you awake?" Dumbledore looked directly at Regulus, "Can I understand that someone saved you?"

"Yes, er, I mean, I think so, because I haven't seen my savior," Regulus sighed inwardly, of course he had, that young beautiful soul, he had already put It is soaked in this body, "After I woke up, I was in an unknown place, I couldn't remember many things clearly, I wandered around in a daze, and then I met Harry who became an orphan. That is In this way, you should know what happened next."

"Oh, yes, I think, this is really a wonderful journey." Dumbledore sighed with his eyes slightly closed.

"Well, maybe." If it's what he said, of course it is, but, unfortunately, reality is always a pity, isn't it?Regulus also looked up into the air, and then sighed almost inaudibly, "I think you have to go to the banquet, sir."

"Oh yes, I forgot." Dumbledore smiled as if awakened, and before walking out of the office side by side, he suddenly asked Regulus, "So, can I ask one more question?"

"Please."

"I want to know how you want to change your original intention."

"Well..." Regulus stopped, narrowed his eyes, and looked at the thin figure of the young man again, "No, it has never been changed."

Dumbledore raised an eyebrow.

"At that time," Regulus looked at the boy and smiled, "it was just too young, wasn't it? Not enough to distinguish truth from lies."
