[HP] Five Poisons

Chapter 169 If time

This is a long corridor.The golden-brown vines on the green wallpaper are intertwined, and a cobweb-shaped chandelier in the shape of a big snake hangs from the roof. Together with the chandelier on the walls on both sides, the not very bright lights make the entire corridor look dim.

Chi Mo hesitated for a while, then walked to the end of the corridor.

He didn't understand why he was here. Although it was different from what he had seen before, the place where he was now should be Black's old house.

Chi Mo stood in front of the stairs and was stunned for a moment. The huge portrait on the wall was gone, along with the frame, and Mrs. Black inside.

"Kreacher."

The voice echoed in the empty room, and no one responded.

Chi Mo couldn't help frowning, and vaguely heard some movement coming from the restaurant.

Compared with the emptiness of the hall, the restaurant is obviously much more lively.

Four people sat asymmetrically at the long dining table, and the house elves were silently busy behind them.

The woman sitting on the left wiped the corner of her mouth with a napkin, with a reserved smile on her face, "You're going to school tomorrow, Sirius, when you get there, you can't mess around like you were at home."

Chi Mo was stunned for a while, although he was much younger than in the portrait, he still recognized at a glance that this was Mrs. Black. Now she, like all noble ladies, is noble and reserved, and she will not see the hysterical madness in the future with paranoia.

Sirius, who had been named, curled his lips nonchalantly, cut the cod steak on the plate, and cunningly did not make a promise.

Chi Mo had a faint guess in his heart, and his gaze swept across the face of the young Sirius, and landed on the position beside him.

The black-haired boy lowered his eyes slightly, not as funny as his brother beside him, he sat quietly in his seat, only when Sirius turned his head and whispered something to him, the corner of his mouth curled into a shallow arc.

The silent father, the occasional nagging mother, the mischievous elder brother, and the well-behaved younger brother.

It is a normal scene of a family of four dining.

Chi Mo watched the Black family eat quietly, but the house elves who came and went turned a blind eye to his existence.

Chi Mo leaned against the door frame, his eyes followed the boy with hair sitting on the far left, a little lost in thought.

It turned out that you were like this when you were a child.

The screen turns.

The woman's familiar screams filled the room.

Standing by the stairs, Chi Mo saw the man's gloomy face and the woman's face flushed with anger.

Mrs. Black crumpled the thin piece of parchment in her hand, lost her previous noble and reserved, and faintly overlapped with the Mrs. Black that Chi Mo was familiar with.

On the paper that was shaking with Mrs. Black's movements, Chi Mo vaguely glimpsed Sirius' name.

...This is the news that Sirius has entered Gryffindor?

Chi Mo was a little speechless watching Mrs. Black throwing a fit.In fact, he couldn't understand the other party's paranoia on the matter of sorting. Even if Sirius entered Gryffindor and deviated from her expectations, there was really no need to be so angry—however you look at Sirius' character, It's better to go to Gryffindor.

Chi Mo, who was struck by Mrs. Black's magic voice, couldn't help but rolled his eyes, and then found that something seemed missing.

Subconsciously searched for a certain figure, and finally found the target at the stairs on the second floor.

Standing at the top of the stairs, the young man who could hear the movement downstairs clearly was staring at the portrait in his hand. Chi Mo leaned towards him, stretched his neck and glanced. It was the portrait of Sirius, under the collar of his white shirt. , is a silver-green tie.

Chi Mo remembered the portrait that Draco had mentioned.

Suddenly there was a new movement downstairs. Chi Mo followed Regulus to look over his head, and saw a letter floating in front of Mrs. Black, and the clear and bold voice of a young man rang out in the room.

Before finishing reading the contents, the letter was torn to pieces by the furious Mrs. Black.

The boy beside him turned and went upstairs, returned to the room, and silently put the painting into the book.

The screen changes again.

This time, it was at Hogwarts.

By the Black Lake, the two brothers who had grown up a lot seemed to be arguing about something. In the end, Sirius left without looking back, leaving Regulus standing alone.

It seemed that he hadn't had a good rest for a long time, his eyes were faintly blue, and his whole body was as pale as a piece of white paper.

Chi Mo stretched out his hand, trying to smooth the wrinkles between his brows, his fingertips sank into the brows, and his hand was empty.

He cannot touch him; he cannot hear him speak.

He is like a witness to a piece of the past, he can see clearly, he can hear, but that's all.

He didn't understand why he was in this situation, and he didn't know how to get out of this situation.

Hogwarts at this time was different from his time.

Here in Hogwarts, there is a clear distinction between the colleges, especially between Slytherin and Gryffindor. Even he, a bystander, can clearly feel the smell of gunpowder between the two colleges.

On the campus, whether big or small, the encounter between the two brothers came to an abrupt end when Sirius turned a blind eye.

Chi Mo just followed behind Regulus, watching him go from the fourth grade to the sixth grade.

From the very beginning when people made things difficult for him, to later, those people kept silent in front of him like a cicada.

Seeing the sharp edges and corners on that face, the smile didn't reach his eyes.

He accompanied him through his school days and watched him grow up slowly, from that quiet boy to the male student president.

While everyone around him was satisfied and adored him, only Chi Mo noticed his silence.

His black eyes looked calm and dead in the sunlight.

Compared to his ease at Hogwarts, Regulus' seven years at school were full of depression.

Chi Mo has wondered more than once what Regulus used to be like, but now that he finally sees him, there is only sadness and distress.

He is always alone.

He refused anyone's approach, and never approached anyone else.

Chi Mo hugged him countless times, but his arms passed through each other's body every time.

This sense of powerlessness is really terrible.

……

The screen began to change again.

Chi Mo hadn't seen any emotion on Regulus's face for a long time. He frowned and looked around and found that they were in Black's old house.

Kreacher curled himself into a ball, put his wet face between his knees, and began rocking back and forth.His voice was muffled, but it was crystal clear in the quiet, empty kitchen.

"At the bottom of the cave is a cave, and in the cave there is a big black lake... There is a boat... On the island is a basin full of medicine... Potion. The black... Dark Lord made Kreacher drink it... ..."

Kreacher kept shaking, as if he hadn't shaken off the feeling of fear.

"...he put a box in the empty basin...he filled it with more potions."

Before Chi Mo could figure it out, the picture in front of him was distorted again.

The surrounding environment was very dim, and the only light made Chi Mo narrow his eyes reflexively. After a while, he realized that this was a cave, and the faint sound of waves could still be heard in his ears.

Regulus looked strange, looking a little confused.

Kreacher beside him has been in a state of anxiety and anxiety.

Chi Mo watched them board a small boat, reach the other side of the lake, and came to a stone basin.

The weird dark green liquid made Chi Mo subconsciously think of poison.

Inexplicably, Chi Mo became uneasy.

"What is this? What do you want?"

No one answered him.

Regulus took something out of his pocket, Chi Mo opened his eyes wide, it was a locket.

Chi Mo looked at the locket in Regulus' hand, and an idea came to his mind.

He knew the origins of the seven horcruxes of the mysterious man, except for the locket.

He knew how the other six Horcruxes were obtained, and the locket had been in Regulus' hands since he knew about the Horcruxes.

When he asked, Regulus never answered directly.

He knew that the locket was in Regulus' hands, but he didn't know how he got it.

Also, the curse on Regulus.

Is it here?

"Don't drink!!!"

Chi Mo reached out to snatch the cup from Regulus, but missed it again.

No one responded to him.

Bewilderment Gu, petrification curse, quick imprisonment.

No matter what he did, how much he begged and coerced, he could not prevent the other party from drinking the poison in the stone basin.

Chi Mo wanted to hug him, but he still couldn't touch his body.

Ice Silkworm, Bidie, Healing Curse.

Useless.

All he could do was watch him fall on the icy ground, his whole heart felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

He yelled at Kreacher, "Take him away!!"

No one heard him, no one found him.

My lover is suffering in front of me, but I can't do anything.

Couldn't even hug him.

"Regulus, don't sleep...please..."

"Open your eyes and look at me... Regulus..."

"Don't sleep...please...don't sleep..."

Something is approaching from behind.

The sound of "rustling" mopping the floor.

Cold, gloomy, with a decaying breath of death.

"Go away!!!"

Baizu, Qiansi, Scorpion Heart, Death Gu, Myriad Gu Biting Heart, and even Devil Flame.

The golden-red flame covered the entire cave, but it couldn't hurt these disgusting things in the slightest.

"Get off! Get off him!!!"

……

Chi Mo didn't know how he came back. When he came back to his senses, he had already returned to the bedroom of Black Manor.

A feeling of hopelessness runs deep into the marrow.

Chi Mo looked around in a daze, stumbled out of bed, opened the door and ran out.

"Morning, young master."

Ruona held the freshly picked flowers from the back garden, and saw Chi Mo happily saying hello.

Chi Mo turned his head suddenly, and said hoarsely, "Where is he?"

"Master is in the study, young master, you..." Before he finished speaking, there was no sign of that person in front of his eyes.

Rushing all the way to the study, Chi Mo pushed the door open without thinking, alarming the people in the study.

Lucius looked at him in surprise.

Regulus, who was sitting behind the desk, stood up, walked quickly to the door, picked him up, and frowned dissatisfiedly, "Why don't you wear shoes?"

Chi Mo hugged Regulus' neck tightly, and buried his face in the other's neck.

Regulus was astonished to find that the person in his arms was trembling.

"What's going on?" Regulus hugged him tightly, stroked the boy's back, and asked softly, "Did you have a nightmare?"

Chi Mo murmured, "...a very annoying dream..."

Regulus couldn't help laughing, "Dreams are always reversed."

The touch under the hand and the breath in the ear are all real.

Completely different from the despair and helplessness in the dream, Chi Mo pursed his lips tightly, and suddenly felt aggrieved in this familiar embrace, "You ignore me...no matter how I call you, you ignore me..."

"It's just a dream, how could I ignore you."

"..."

The two of them tossed too late yesterday. After he got up, he specifically told the elf not to disturb him, but he didn't expect that Chi Mo would be frightened by the nightmare. He glanced at the time and patted the back of the person in his arms. "Sleep a little longer?"

"..."

Feeling the person in his arms hug him even tighter, Regulus couldn't help but smile, "Are we together?"

"……kindness."

In this familiar embrace, the haze in his heart gradually dissipated. Chi Mo closed his eyes, calmed down and opened them again. What caught his eyes was the man's perfectly lined chin and the slightly upward curvature of the corners of his mouth.

Now, it's real.

This time, I've got you.
