Bed.

To his surprise, the girls were here too.Hermione, Ginny and Gwen sat neatly in three chairs.Harry sat down on his bed too, and they stared at each other for a while.

"They're talking about closing the school," Harry said.

"Lupine said they would," said Ron.

There was a pause.

"So," said Ron, lowering his voice, as if the furniture next to him would hear, "you found one? You got one? One - a Horcrux?"

Harry shook his head.Everything that has happened around Black Lake now seems like a terrible nightmare.Did it really happen, just hours ago?

"You didn't get it?" Ron asked, looking disappointed. "Not there?"

"It was taken away—?"

Harry silently took the fake locket out of his pocket, opened it and handed it to Ron.Let's talk about the whole story later... Tonight it doesn't matter anymore... What matters is that it's over, the pointless adventure is over, Dumbledore's life is over...

"RAB," Ron whispered, "who is he?"

"I don't know," said Harry, lying down with his clothes on, looking up blankly.He had no curiosity about the RAB now, and he doubted there would be any in the future.Lying there, he suddenly felt that the field was extremely silent.

"I've seen such a locket!" Hermione exclaimed looking at the fake locket, with an expression as if she had just been cast with a memory spell, and even her eyes were lost.

"What's going on?" Ron asked.

"There's a locket."

"What?" Harry and Ron called in unison.

"In the cabinet in the living room, no one can open it, we...we..."

Harry felt a brick fall from his chest into his stomach.He remembered: he had touched it a bit, and everyone was passing around the thing, taking turns trying to pry it open.It ended up in a rubbish bag, along with snuffboxes of sarcoma powder and music boxes that made everyone doze off...

Gwen was still immersed in her incredible conjectures and couldn't extricate herself. She wanted to digest it by herself, but was dragged here by Ginny.

And Ginny was also very shocked at this time: "It is true that no one can open it, so Sirius and Moody finally showed it to Dumbledore. Remember? No one has seen this mysterious golden pendant since then It’s just that Dumbledore walked around Grimmauld Place with his wand himself one day and disappeared for a while.”

"You mean, the real Horcrux might have been destroyed? Then why did Dumbledore take Harry there today..." Ron fussed.

"Because he doesn't know which Horcrux...is there." Harry swallowed and stammered.

"Then this RAB." Ron fiddled with the tattered note, "Who the hell is he, and how does he know where Voldemort's Horcrux is hidden?"

"He might be a member of the Order of the Phoenix," said Harry bitterly, "because Dumbledore said he was taking an unsung hero..." His voice trailed off to a whisper.

"What did you say, Harry?" Hermione asked.

As if someone had poured a basin of cold lake water over his head, Harry snapped back to his senses, looking for the two-way mirror in his cloak like a madman.

"Sirius, Sirius!" he yelled into the mirror.

It took a while for the yawning black-haired wizard to show his face, and Gwen noticed that Harry looked at him with extremely complicated eyes, as if he was re-evaluating his godfather's facial features and hair-"It's late, ha Lee. You asked me to go to bed early."

"Sorry, Sirius." Harry's voice changed a little with nervousness, "Can you get Kreacher to talk to me? I have a question for him."

Sirius grumbled and complained, and snapped his fingers to summon Kreacher, but instead of going back to sleep obediently, he held up the mirror to let Kreacher speak.

"... disturbed the master's sleep, annoying Harry Potter." Kreacher's ugly voice came.

"Kreacher," Harry interrupted loudly, "tell me the name of your little master, another little master—please." Harry reluctantly added please to Hermione's eyes.

"Kreacher doesn't understand what Harry Potter is asking. Now Kreacher only has Master Sirius as his master..." the old elf said cursingly.

"His brother, you know what I'm talking about, tell me his name," said Harry quickly.

"My brother?" Sirius on the other side of the mirror was a little confused, "I thought you only had my son."

The old elf's bullfrog-like hoarse and piercing voice dragged on, "Master Regulus. Regulus Arcturus Black, my most honorable little master."

"Reculus? Regulus..." Sirius muttered the name in a low voice, as if he still had no memory of it.Harry on the other side of the mirror had already fallen into deep contemplation, and didn't notice the godfather's strangeness.

It wasn't until Ginny nudged Harry on the shoulder that he came back to say hello to Sirius.

"No... nothing important, you should go to bed, Sirius."

"After you woke me up in the middle of the night and told me you had a younger brother named Regulus?" Sirius frowned disapprovingly, "how could I sleep..."

Suddenly, there was a scary coughing sound on the 12th floor of Grimmauld Place, which scared the other students to death.

"Then you can go and see her," said Harry quickly. "Is she serious again?"

Surprisingly, Sirius also looked worried. He made a face at Harry, then put down the mirror and ran upstairs.

"Who is she?" Ron asked curiously.

"Your focus is so strange, Ronald," Hermione dismissed his question, "it's probably a member of the Order of the Phoenix - the real issue is, the RAB - the locket - you don't think . . . ..."

Harry showed that dreamy expression again, "Yeah... no wonder... I always feel familiar."

Ginny waved her hand in front of him, "Be clear, Harry."

"I've seen him, no wonder." Harry said bitterly, "In Professor Slughorn's picture, he looks a lot like Sirius, also with black hair—" Harry snapped Jumping up from the bed and rushing to the door, Ron quickly grabbed him.

"Where are you going! I don't understand, since this Horcrux has been destroyed, why should we care who RAB is?"

"Of course you don't understand," Harry stamped anxiously, "because I forgot, I was carrying a dead body back to school, but I forgot him at..." Harry paused as he realized The corpse was sent somewhere by Dumbledore.

"I thought he was a Death Eater." Hermione looked at the locket sadly. "It's very kind of you, Harry, would you like to take his body back to the Blacks? Under Voldemort's control..."

"What did you say?" Gwen suddenly said as if waking up from a dream, "You brought a corpse back from outside?"

"Yeah," Harry said, still a little awkwardly at Gwen, "an Inferi—"

Ron and Hermione gasped.

"—Dumbledore has removed the magic from him, and now he is just an ordinary corpse."

Ron and Hermione were relieved again.

Gwen's heart was boiling with small bubbles, "When I was outside the castle, I didn't see the corpse."

At this moment, Harry had calmed down a little, "Dumbledore may have used the Vanishing Curse or some other method to send him to another place when he was on the Astronomy Tower."

"Yes." Gwen nodded perfunctorily.Or, she thought, the great RAB had contributed again, and he had become dead Dumbledore.After all, the corpse she touched was extremely cold.

Everything might make sense, the unexpired spell, the corpse that had cooled too quickly, Moody who had been guarding the lawn under the tower, and Cedric who had never been noticed by others.

So what exactly was Snape's position?One thing might prove it, Gwen told herself, she'd have to find that fake wand somehow.

young phoenix

The wonderful idea was like a needle poking in Gwen's stomach, and she finally failed to resist the temptation.

"I...I'm going to take a look in the corridor." She hastily bid farewell to everyone and left the boys' dormitory in a hurry.

"She's acting a little strange, isn't she?" Ron said, looking at Gwen's fleeing back, and then at Harry's expression.

"I don't think so." Ginny frowned. "She was fighting Death Eaters with me just a few hours ago."

"It was also a few hours ago that she let Snape run up the Astronomy Tower..." Ron said hesitantly.

"What are you trying to say, Ron?" Ginny was a little upset, "that Gwen and Snape were on the same side? Didn't you hear Lupine? If Gwen hindered Snape, she might was killed."

"Of course I don't think Gwen is a bad guy." Ron opened his mouth and said sideways, "but old Ollivander is in Voldemort's hands now."

Hermione slapped Ron sharply, and Ginny yelled, "She's your brother's fiancée!"

"Come on, you're not so tolerant of Fleur." Ron retorted subconsciously, and immediately felt that what he had done was wrong, "I mean, what if Gwen was cast with the Imperius Curse? Or she was blackmailed ?”

Harry was lost in thought.
