[HP] Lost and Returning

The weird peace pattern between Slytherin and Gryffindor House continued. The nobles were not good at rejecting the friendly greetings from Harry on the whiteboard, and the lion cubs were even more powerless to refuse the frequent visits from platinum boys. The fact that Ryffindor had achieved a sort of harmony, although it wasn't perfect, stopped bickering was a huge step forward for Hogwarts.

Salazar's schedule has added a few more items than before - playing chess, playing cards with Godric, etc. Every night when Salazar returns to the dormitory and sees someone's white and shiny teeth, he always has the urge to beat someone, Apparently, the apparition skill is a skill that the brat used very well in school.

"Don't worry about your potion shop?" Salazar held his head, but focused on the chessboard.

"I'm in charge." Godric rubbed his golden head. In Salazar's dormitory, he preferred to keep the original appearance: "When you are busy socializing with the students."

Salazar frowned, why did this sound so awkward.

Godric breathed a sigh of relief and changed the subject. "You got a letter this morning?" He remembered an owl dropping a letter to Salazar during breakfast.

Salazar blinked, and replied the next moment: "Oh, Regulus is awake."

Godric was stunned. So, the Malfoys naturally wanted to inform Salazar about this kind of thing: "Then?"

Salazar shrugged, waking up and waking up, what could be next.

"Ah, that's right." Godric patted his head: "About Regulus, there is something you should look at." After finishing speaking, Godric disappeared and appeared 5 minutes later with a piece of paper in his hand Note: "I got it from the headmaster. The message in the fake Horcrux. I guess Regulus wrote it to the Dark Lord."

Salazar raised his eyebrows and took the note, realizing it was enchanted the instant he touched it.

"Your eyes are always better than mine." Godric teased, and rolled his eyes at the note: "What's written on it? The hidden part."

It may be due to physical reasons. Many hidden magics are ineffective on Salazar. When Sarah checked the extra line of words below the clearing note, his hands froze there.

"What's wrong?" Godric asked, the other's expression was a bit wrong.

"...I always thought it was my illusion." Salazar said to himself.

"What?" Godric asked.

Salazar stood up, lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "Can you temporarily restore that idiot's sanity?"

"That idiot?" Godric blinked. "Which one?"

"...Soul slice idiot." Salazar gritted his teeth. The instability of his soul caused that person to lose his human sanity, become bloodthirsty and brutal, and could not communicate normally at all.

Godric raised his eyebrows and weighed it: "It should be fine."

"Then let's go." Salazar put away the note, and restored his hair color and eye color to their original state.

"Where are you going?" Godric had a vague guess.

"Lestrange Manor." Salazar put a hand on the other's shoulder: "He doesn't seem to have changed his base anymore."

……

Lestrange Manor.

The manor already looked lifeless, but it looked even more gloomy on this moonless night.

"What's written on it?" Godric followed Salazar inside, he asked curiously.

"...in that cave..." Salazar looked up, he released a dementor to explore the way, of course, he deliberately concealed the aura of the dementor itself: "Regulus was dragged into He should have been killed by the Yin Corpse before the bottom of the lake, but there was something protecting him at that time, I thought I was wrong."

"Huh?" Godric wondered.

"The locket, that's a Horcrux, right?" Salazar walked up the stairs lightly, and he found the Dark Lord's room: "That Horcrux is protecting Regulus."

Godric opened his eyes wide: "You mean..."

"Let this man live, just use him to balance the power of the White Wizard." Salazar stood still and turned around: "But maybe this man is not so hopeless."

"When he comes to his senses?" Godric asked, delighted at the idea of ​​not treating this man as a mere pawn.

"Probably." Salazar walked to a certain room and pushed open the door.

"Who?" A hoarse voice sounded in the room, and the ugly man without a nose stood in the room and stared at the intruder fiercely, while turning on the lights in the room.

Godric followed Salazar into the room, closed the door, and glanced at the clean sheets: "It seems that the division of the soul affects the quality of sleep."

Salazar glared at the blond boy.

Godric curled his lips: "Tell me the truth." At the same time, he complained that someone lacked a sense of humor.

The Dark Lord stared at the dark-haired child in front of him. This terrifying child defeated him one after another. Nagini rushed out from the corner of the room. The poor girl stared at the situation in front of her and didn't know what to do.

"Your purpose?" Voldemort, who spoke first, purposefully lowered his voice enough to frighten any kid in Hogwarts, but the two he was facing were obviously out of this range.

"That sounds reasonable." Godric smiled at Salazar, who rolled his eyes at him again.The blond lion ancestor took out his wand and pointed it at the bald ugly man: "How about a chat?"

Voldemort didn't like being pointed at with his wand, so he went to touch his wand the next moment, but his hand was held back the next moment.

"Don't move." Salazar's apparition was as precise as ever, and he hissed, saying to the Dark Lord and Nagini at the same time: "The weak should obey the strong. I think you understand the difference between me and you. Who's the strong one, right?"

Anger instantly filled Voldemort's entire chest, but before he made the next move, everything changed, a golden magic circle appeared under his feet, and a warm breath lingered around his body for a moment, his thoughts It was no longer so chaotic, everything gradually became clear, and his scarlet eyes gradually faded.

【Tom? 】Nagini made a tentative sound, and her master's sharp breath disappeared.

Salazar let go, exited the magic circle, put his hands on his chest, and watched coldly.

The memories were still those memories, Voldemort quickly sorted everything out, but those unbearable arrogance and impulsiveness were gone, he looked vigilantly at the blond boy who was still holding his wand, and then at the black-haired boy who maintained an indifferent expression : "I seem to have two unexpected visitors tonight, who are you?" There was a fake friendliness in his tone that he hadn't used for a long time.

"So you prefer the current state?" Godric smiled and retracted his wand.

Voldemort frowned slightly, he really hadn't enjoyed this kind of peace for a long time: "What did you do?"

"Steady your soul so you don't go mad like a madman." Godric pulled a chair and sat down.

Voldemort's frown deepened, he still remembered how crazy he was a while ago, bloody and brutal, the cost of splitting his soul was beyond his imagination, if he was no longer himself, then eternal life would be gone again What kind of meaning?Suddenly, this idea came to his mind.

【Tom, are you okay? ] Nagini leaned forward and touched the master's hand.

Voldemort patted the big snake's head, didn't answer, but turned to look at another person: "You can speak snake language." Before, he could only arouse anger and killing, but now he saw the black haired boy behind him. Not normal: "Are you a descendant of Slytherin too?"

"You split the soul and created the Horcrux." Salazar didn't answer the question, he opened another topic: "In order to fly away from death?"

Voldemort narrowed his eyes, flying away from death?Now it sounds quite sarcasm.

"Huh? Tom?" Salazar turned his head and glanced at Nagini.Big Snake bowed her head. Although the owner changed her name for a long time, she still used to use the previous address.

"It doesn't seem as good as I imagined." Voldemort didn't get angry, in fact, he was a little grateful to these two people for bringing him back to normal.

"... Regulus stole one of your Horcruxes." Salazar returned to the topic, which was the purpose of his visit.

Voldemort's eyes instantly became deep.

"Then left a note." Salazar handed the note over: "I think it's for you, and he'll hope you're awake enough to see this."

Voldemort suppressed a certain urgency in his heart and took the note. He only remembered Regulus' departure, but not the aftermath. What happened to that young man afterwards?

When his eyes touched the words on the note, Voldemort felt bitter, Regulus, do you want me to die?

That's right, like a lunatic who has lost all emotions, the current him wants to destroy his former self, and Regulus probably doesn't want to see it.There is a black magic under the note. It is a little trick he and Regulus used to play. Only the other party can unravel the spell. After unraveling the spell easily, a line of words appears, which is extremely glaring, as if that is Regulus. The message that Ruth really wanted to stay.

The surrounding atmosphere was still so warm, but Voldemort felt that he had been thrown into an ice cellar, and his whole body was freezing to the bone. He could clearly see that the note read: I sacrifice my life to pay homage to my dead love.
