[hp] Pure White Age

The link of the chain has been severed...

They may never go back.

Just like Regulus back then.

The look on Sirius' face when he returned said it all.Ron's mind exploded, and no one told him what to do if the entrance disappeared. He only knew that if he encountered danger in the space, the entrance was the only place to save them.He regretted that he and Draco made the same mistake as Voldemort - arrogance.Why do they think that a space that incorporates the soul of the owner of the space must be easier to control than Tom Riddle's space?

Draco was still in a coma.He is the owner of the necklace, and the barrier must have dealt a much heavier blow to his spirit.Not to mention that the Death Eaters were already exhausted due to their internal tasks recently.

Ron stood up on the rock, his toes seemed to move. "Without magic, how can there be fire here?" He thought where Sirius had learned the Muggle way of making fire.

"It's the bugs," said Sirius. "I was going to use magic to pull you out of the water, but you see—the magic didn't work. When I carried you back to the shore, there was no strength left. I was cold as hell, and so were you two. , I picked up some branches on the spot, trying to try the Muggle way of making a fire, but it always failed. Then, those bugs flew from the other side to the branches, and started the fire by themselves."

No wonder the fire was a weird blue color.Ron stood by the fire for a while in silence. "Should we still go to that cave?" He was obviously shaken, "The bugs are too dangerous, and that's their territory over there." Ron couldn't help but imagine the scene where they were burned into dark blue burning people by the bugs .

"Dumbledore didn't tell me that I would meet these." Sirius obviously didn't have an answer either. "But there's an upside here too."

"what?"

"You will not be drained, so no matter how long we stay, we will not be hurt."

Yes, that's right.Staying here, the necklace wouldn't be able to absorb their spirits, especially Draco's.This way they can slowly search for the Horcruxes.However, even if they can find it, they have to be able to get out.

Right now, Ron really felt Regulus' despair. "Is your wound all right?" he asked Sirius, and was answered in the affirmative.The waterlogging of the wound really didn't seem to bother the Marauder.Ron felt a little strange in his heart. His body had almost recovered, although his bones still hurt.

"We've got to try," he said finally. "I have a hunch that the Horcrux is in that cave."

"But how do we get there?"

Don't forget they're just as clumsy as Muggles now.

"I've read that people in Muggle comics can build their own boats." Ron scratched his head embarrassedly. "Okay, but we don't. It's more practical to ask those bugs to help us again."

Sirius seemed to be thinking all the time.Just when Ron was at a loss, he stood up and walked to the stone where Draco was sleeping.

"I didn't see this stone when I came here," he said. "But when I walked near here with you on my back, I suddenly discovered it...everything is strange here..."

He put his hand on the stone. "Since I came here, I feel that the wound has not hurt so much, even when I was immersed in water..."

Ron couldn't believe what was happening before his eyes.

The light source from the opposite bank slowly flew towards them, crossing the mirror-like lake in groups, the silver-white shadows followed their masters, sparking sparkles in the depths of the lake, and blending into a holy world from top to bottom.

They don't even need to pray, they automatically stop when they fly to the shore, and move closer to their companions.The gap in the middle of the silvery white was gradually filled and filled, and it was no longer an illusory cloud of light, but a real object floating on the water.

They form a small boat.

"Merlin..." Ron heard Draco say behind him.And he didn't even dare to respond to him, for fear of disturbing the group of elves' overtures.

"Look!"

There is a note on board.

Sirius walked carefully to the shore and picked it up from the myriad of quiet little creatures.After just one glance, he said, "This is left by Dumbledore."

Draco and Ron looked at each other.It appears that Dumbledore has indeed been here.But at that time, they hadn't thrown the Horcrux in there, and the cave had never appeared.

Sirius walked back to them and handed them the note.There are only a few scribbled words on it.

Two people when going, one person when returning.

— Dumbledore

Ron frowned. "The way it goes... the three of us can't be on the same side of the lake once we're on the boat, can we? Why did Dumbledore keep us apart?"

"It's not necessarily his will." Draco said, "Don't forget that this is Regulus' territory, maybe Dumbledore just told us the rules he figured out."

They discussed it for a while.Sirius even turned into an Animagus.However, as soon as he stepped into the water, the little flying insects immediately flew away, and the boat disappeared.

"Well, well," said Sirius at last, "we don't like the rule, but what, do you want to follow it?"

The three fell silent.They know nothing of the caves beyond, except for a horde of powerful bugs.But if Dumbledore thought it necessary to look there, the Horcrux must be there.

"I think Draco should stay here." Sirius turned to Draco and said, "The situation here is very different from before, you don't have the ability to manipulate space now. So I think..."

Ron understood what Sirius meant.The barrier of space will obscure Draco's connection with the necklace, and the deeper he goes, the less advantage he will have.On the contrary, if you let him stay at the edge of the space, it might help everyone reopen that entrance.

"You mean, you and Ron went to that cave?"

"I think what Sirius said makes sense." Ron ignored Draco's eyes, "You are the first person we have to keep. If you are trapped here, we won't be able to get back even if we find an exit."

"I think we should go back and ask Dumbledore for clarification." The blond Slytherin said stiffly.

"If Dumbledore was going to tell us more, there wouldn't be just one sentence on the note." Ron pointedly pierced through the lover's fantasy, "Also, did you forget the last time you were in Snape's space? The will of the space itself is very strong, not to mention that Regulus has merged with his own space. Even if Dumbledore came in person, it is impossible to change the rules here." Draco will not understand him If not, he's just worried about their safety, especially his.

"Don't think about it," Ron heard himself say. "We never had a plan anyway. It won't do you any good to procrastinate. In four hours, if Sirius and I haven't come out, you can go back to school and find Dumbledore." Lido." After what happened just now, Ron felt faintly in his heart that Dumbledore's asking Sirius to enter Regulus' space was definitely not as simple as letting him recuperate.Since he can open the door of the space, there may also be other uses in the space.

Even so, when stepping into the boat, Ron was still very nervous.The wand on which the wizard depended had lost its potency, as he had never experienced before.Waving to Draco as the boat sailed toward the cavern, he felt something watching his and Sirius' every move.

The cave is like a glowing eyeball.And they're getting closer to it.Ron subconsciously remembered Regulus he saw in the space last time.He secretly prayed that he could help them, if Sirius really meant that much to him.

☆、Chapter119 Regulus' Memory (3)

The cave was getting closer and closer to them.Ron looked at it and suddenly remembered something Hermione had mentioned.

When you stare into the abyss, the abyss also stares into you.

But it is not an abyss.It is glowing.Straightforwardly lure them in instead of just standing on the sidelines.Flying insects flitted loosely around them, forming a thin halo over the boat.Now they no longer frightened him.There was a kind of goodwill in the silence of these little creatures, and even those slight hums were like the ticking of a second hand, reminding him that at least there was something familiar in the cave—that it wasn't really all-consuming.

When disembarking, Sirius walked ahead of him.Ron looked back, and Draco's figure had already disappeared behind the shadowy lake.He hoped and believed that the other party could find an exit.

"Did you see that?"

Sirius' whisper interrupted Ron's thoughts.He followed Sirius' gaze.The interior of the cave is winding and winding, with no end in sight at a glance, and the farthest one can only see a stone wall inside, and it is being shone by the light.

"Is there anything else that glows in there?" Ron wasn't sure.Perhaps waiting for them are more glowing bugs.After all, it looks like where they live.

"Go in and have a look."

This time Sirius went inside without asking his advice, and Ron had to follow.As soon as he entered the cave, a gust of cool wind blew into his neckline, and he wrapped his wizard robe tightly around his body.Sirius was already standing ten paces away, waiting for him.

"look at this."

Ron moved closer to him.It was a rather large stone basin, fixed on a stone as high as their chests, and it was full of shiny liquid.Obviously, that's no ordinary water.It reminded Ron of the Pensieve in Dumbledore's office, that magic device that allowed people to peek into other people's memories.

"Does it look like a Pensieve?" Sirius thought about it with him, "Could there be Regulus' memory hidden in it?" The whole cave scene was formed after they threw the Horcrux in, very Apparently, Sirius was still brooding over the original memory fragment.

Ron didn't answer.For some unknown reason, he stretched out his hands to hold the sides of the stone basin, and shook it vigorously—of course, the stone basin remained motionless as expected, only slight ripples appeared in the liquid in the basin.

"What are you doing?" Sirius said a little amusedly. "You're not expecting to unplug it?"

Ron was a little embarrassed by what he said.Yeah, why is he doing stupid things?Maybe it would be more reliable to drop a tear and try it.At this moment, Sirius looked back at the direction they came from and shrugged: "Look, our ship is gone."

Indeed gone.The flying insects that originally made up the boat flew back into the cave earlier than they did, and only a small part stayed beside them.Sirius didn't want to waste so much time at the entrance of the cave, he winked at Ron and went inside by himself.

Of course Ron had to keep up with him, and now they had to rely on each other.But he still stood where he was, staring blankly at the stone basin.A glowing elf skipped over the surface of the liquid, and the edges of its wings lightly brushed against the water and flew, fluttering.Ron slipped his wand out of his sleeve and tentatively inserted the bottom of the wand into the liquid. The wand was intact.He stared at the lingering gleam of water on his wand, and licked his lips.

He couldn't explain his stupid behavior like Sirius.Perhaps from the very beginning, he wanted to taste the liquid.He stuck out the tip of his tongue and felt a hint of sweetness that was not obvious.Two small flying insects also landed on his wand, and quickly flapped their wings and took off.The strange thing is that they seem to have changed their original course, turned a corner and flew towards the lake shore.Ron was dozens of steps away from the lake, and from a distance, he seemed to see the two lonely light sources flying halfway and plummeting down.He shivered inexplicably.The sweet taste in his mouth was still spreading, driving away some of the chill, he plunged into the cave, took a few steps desperately, and walked behind Sirius.

"This place has completely changed." Sirius sounded a little gloomy.Ron knew what that meant.If the original memory fragment disappears completely, it means that the locket is perfectly integrated with the space, and it will be more difficult for them to find it.Not to mention the interference of Regulus' soul in this space.According to his and Draco's assumptions, if Regulus' soul has not been completely assimilated by the space, he should prevent the return of the Horcrux, but now, all the signs here seem to have overturned their speculation.They shouldn't have any luck with the power of space, here, nothing can not be swallowed by it, and it can't be a sacrifice for its increased power, people or Horcruxes are the same.

With fear of the unknown, they walked forward along the only path.Moths flew patiently around them, lighting them up.Their size is so insignificant, but when they finally passed the stone passage, the scene in front of them suddenly opened up, which was quite different—in the main cave, thousands of glowing flying insects gathered together, illuminating the field of vision All the corners that can be reached make this behemoth exude a strange and sacred atmosphere.

Ron stopped abruptly.

"What's wrong?" Sirius quickly noticed, and he turned around.

"I don't think there's anything right," said Ron.He looked up at Sirius: "Do you remember what we just saw outside the cave?"

Sirius put his hand to his lips. "A stone wall," he said. "What we see seems to be a stone wall."

"That's right!" Ron's scalp began to tingle, and he grabbed Sirius' sleeve, forcing him to look back at the way they came.The flashing fluorescent light from the ceiling of the cave made it even more profound, but they could still see it clearly—it was a straight stone path.

"So... where's the stone wall?" Ron asked Sirius, but more to himself. "Back then we all saw... saw it, which means the inside of the cave is at least not supposed to be straight, doesn't it? But after we left that stone basin, it seemed like we forgot about it... I think we, We'd better go out... go back to the stone basin... no, better get out of the cave and check again... don't go any further, something's not right here."

"Could it be that we were wrong?"

Ron frowned, and the other party's words shook his unsteady heart. "Do you really think so?" he asked, "The two of us... were wrong at the same time?"

"I just thought it was possible." Sirius shrugged. "Do you still want to go forward?"

Ron's mind was in a mess, and he wished Draco was with them at the moment, who had far more experience with space than he did.Could he and Sirius be wrong at the same time?Doesn't that shining stone wall really exist?In this space, he had to magnify all the small things, because it was too weird, and instead of believing that he and Sirius were wrong, he would rather believe that the space played a trick with them, causing them to hallucinate at the same time.

"No," he shook his head, "I want to go back. At least go back to the stone basin." Thinking of the stone basin, the strange feeling in his heart became stronger.He only took a sip, but the sweetness seemed to still be on his tongue, and it was getting thicker and thicker, making him very thirsty.Ron couldn't bear it any longer. He leaned down and spit out a few mouthfuls, praying that the smell would disappear quickly... Merlin, he couldn't help thinking, what the hell is going on?

"Well, if you think so," he heard Sirius say.The other party also leaned down and patted him on the back, probably thinking that he was choking on something.Ron grabbed his hand, intending to tell Sirius about the liquid in the stone basin.Sirius' hands were much colder than he thought, and just before he was about to straighten up, his heart suddenly started beating violently.

He couldn't believe what he saw.They were standing at the junction of the stone path and the main cave. Compared to the center of the cave, it was not very bright here, but, but...

He couldn't find a trace of Sirius.At his feet, the shadow of the bent boy was empty.

"Are you OK?"

The opponent's hand was still in his.He should have realized it earlier, his instinct was right, this cave was an eyeball, and from the moment he walked in, he was under the watchful eyes of something.

Ron straightened up silently and shook off the cold hand.Doubt is like a fire, once lit it intensifies.There's definitely been a lot wrong with Sirius since he entered the cave.Ron remembered that Sirius had shielded him behind him when they first disembarked, actively observing everything around him, the stone walls and stone basins he had first discovered.Sirius even said that the stone basin might contain Regulus's original memories, but after that, he seemed to suddenly lose interest in the stone basin, and only wanted to go deep into the cave...

Yes, yes, at least the man standing in front of the stone basin and joking with him was still Sirius.He must go back to the stone basin.

"I'm fine." He shook his head at the person in front of him. "I have to go back."

"Okay." The other party said, his expression revealed a kind of gentleness that Sirius lacked, "then go back and have a look."

Thirst intensified.Ron's throat was starting to go dry, like he drank seawater, damn it.This time, he regretted that he had followed his instincts and tasted the dangerous liquid.How could he be so stupid?Maybe it was the last experience that made him relax his vigilance about space, and now he had to remember that the necklace was the ultimate dark magic item, and Regulus was not Snape.This place is full of dreadful power, and the only one he can rely on is himself.

They passed the straight passage again, and a small group of flying insects stopped near the passage to guide them.The stone basin stood quietly in place, and the liquid in the basin did not change in the slightest.In the case of extreme thirst, a basin of clear water is so tempting. Ron forced himself to look away from the glistening water, but that was even worse, because the opposite side of the stone basin was the vast lake...

"follow me."

"Sirius" suddenly took his arm and led him to the lake shore.

"What are you going to do?"

"You look thirsty," the other said.

"But you said that there are yin corpses in this water."

"Yes, I did." The other party was amused by him, "But when you fainted in the water, I went into the water to save you, didn't I? The corpse's reaction is not so sensitive, just scoop some water from the shore. It'll be fine."

Ron was confused again.How could the other party know what happened before entering the cave?Was he suspicious, or were they already under surveillance at that time?But for some reason, he couldn't detect any malice in the person in front of him, no, he had already suffered from letting his instincts go, so he had to be careful this time...

"Do you want me to lie on the shore and drink water? The Yin Corpse will definitely find out."

"No, I think we have other ways." The man smiled at him, "Remember that ship?"

As he was speaking, the group of flying insects that followed them slowly gathered together, turning into two gleaming cups.

"Why do they listen to you so much?" Ron asked half curiously and half tentatively.

"Sirius" shrugged. "Probably because this is my brother's space, and he can't bear to make me thirsty. Go," he said to the bugs, "go get us some water."

And just like that, Ron drank the water.When the lake water flowed into his mouth and moistened his tongue, the sickening sweetness finally disappeared.But he soon realized that when he stopped drinking the water, it stubbornly regenerated.This liquid was definitely a potion, and if he wanted to eradicate the sweetness, he had to go back to Hogwarts and find Snape to concoct the antidote.Of course, he thought to himself mockingly, if he died in space, it wouldn't be a big deal if he wasn't thirsty.

"do you feel better now?"

Ron nodded.

"If you're still thirsty, you can ask them to scoop up some more for later use."

"Thank you," Ron put his hands behind his back, "you use them as if you are the master here."

The man pretended not to understand his temptation, and patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, let's go to the stone basin and rest for a while."

The answer is ready to come out, but no one is going to poke it. "Sirius" said it as if he knew he wouldn't find out.A surge of anger grew in Ron's heart. He stepped onto the rocks on the bank and ran to the edge of the stone basin. It was here that Sirius disappeared, for no reason... He tried hard to recall the details of the time.

Ron put his hands on the edge of the stone basin, just as he had done before.He knew that "Sirius" was standing behind him watching him.Well, do what you want, he thought furiously, and even if you stretch out your hand and the worms burn me to death, I'm going to find the real Sirius.Didn't Sirius still joke with him at that time, asking if he was going to pull the stone basin down?What did he do next?He pointed out to him the disappearing boat on the shore, so his eyes averted for a moment, and that's when...

But, whatever it was that took Sirius, how did "it" make him disappear in seconds?

Ron turned his head and stared into the other's eyes.

Nobody would say it wasn't Sirius standing there.You have to know Sirius well enough, have lived with him, to know that he has a habit of shrugging his shoulders, and the way he jokes, to be able to notice the nuances.Besides, the people in front of me are so real.

Sirius' body never disappeared, what disappeared was his soul.

"Where did you take him?"

Abyss stared at him. "Sorry, boy," he said, "you can't go to that place."

"I don't believe it. This place belongs to you, you can take me in."

"This place does not belong to me." "Sirius" shook his head, "This place belongs to my past desires, I thought you understood."

Ron was completely taken aback. "You are not the will of space..." he murmured, "Are you Regulus? Are you the soul of the real Regulus? Have you not been assimilated by space?"

Regulus did not answer, but silence was also an answer.

"You said you couldn't take me to Sirius," Ron stepped forward, "You mean space took him away by itself?"

"It's his soul that's going by itself."

"where to?"

"Go to my original memory fragment."

"You mean the original memory fragments still exist?" Ron took a step back and looked at the cave in front of him. "It's impossible," he said, "this place and the original memory cannot exist in parallel, they must..."

will assimilate each other and become one.Ron didn't go on, because Regulus' soul was not integrated with the space as he and Draco thought.Instead, he stood right in front of him, speaking in his brother's body.

"Okay, okay," he waved his hands, feeling more and more thirsty, "let's not talk about that. You just said that his soul is going by itself... What do you mean?"

"Did you see that stone wall?" Regulus asked him suddenly, "It's here, do you see it?"

Ron looked around in confusion.

"I clearly saw it at the time..."

"You saw it because he saw it." Regulus said, "Everything in this space develops according to his wishes."

"...According to his wishes?" Ron didn't know what to say anymore, his mind had never been so confused, "But this is your space!"

"His will is my will." Through Sirius' face, Ron seemed to see the thin, shy boy smiling with sadness in his eyes, "I hope he stays, and he also Did stay...you have no idea how happy I am."

"I still don't get it!" Ron roared. "You have to explain it all! You..."

"I'll explain." Regulus said in a soft voice, "First of all, what you see on the shore, the shining thing is not a stone wall, but... You can understand that it is a layer of curtain."

"... the curtain?"

"Yes, the curtain, the curtain leading to the original memory - of course, I know you must understand, because I let Kreacher take away the Horcrux, so the space does not have to evolve according to the facts..."

"What the veil leads to is your desire."

"That's right." The corner of Regulus' mouth curved slightly, "It leads to my ideal life, a wish that in the real world, no matter how hard I try, I can't achieve it."

"I have reached a certain agreement with my desire, that is, the will of space. It allows me to exist independently without being a part of it. But you can also see that its power is far above me. At the beginning, I It was with the help of its power that Kreacher and the Horcrux were sent out here."

"After so many years, my body has been swallowed by space, leaving only my soul. I made such a sacrifice to fight against Voldemort, so I sent out the Horcrux, hoping that Kreacher could destroy it. I And I always thought my plan was successful. So you can imagine how desperate I was when you and that Slytherin boy threw the Horcruxes in after all these years."

"Dumbledore came before you, and he was seriously injured. I advise him to stay here and not go back. Because his body can only last a very limited time, but if he dedicates his body to me I can keep his soul immortal, just like me. But as you can guess, he refused, after all, there are things he cares about in this world."

"He told me that two children would come here soon to look for the Horcruxes, and he hoped I could help. That's when I realized that he didn't know the real whereabouts of the Horcruxes. I should have told him the truth, but I Then I thought, if he thinks the Horcrux is in my space, maybe I can make some demands in exchange."

"So I told him I wanted to meet my brother. He said yes."

"Since you set foot in the space, I have been with you in the dark. The reason why I don't show up is because I am curious about how my brother will react when he sees those memories." He smiled slightly, "Maybe because I am standing in God's perspective For the sake of it, I can see that he is not completely unrestrained, so I am satisfied."

"When you experienced my memory, I also secretly peeked at my brother's memory. Because I am just a shattered soul now, it is easy to enter a person's mind. I saw what happened after my death. Brother mistakenly believed Lost someone, lost his best friend, was imprisoned in Azkaban, returned to Harry Potter after all kinds of hardships, and now he was seriously injured to protect him..."

"It was his will!" Ron blurted out, before he realized how selfish it would sound to Regulus. "No, I mean, it really was Sirius's will...he loves James, love Harry, he is also Harry's godfather... His wish is to return to Harry, protect him, and live with him..."

"I know what you want to say." Regulus interrupted him, "This is also a question I have been thinking about after following you for so long. You must understand how happy it is to see your relatives in reality again If possible, I certainly hope that he can stay with me all the time. I often think how much pain his chest injury will bring him in reality, and he can only watch his body weaken a little bit. Go on, counting down the countdown to life... But here, he doesn't have to experience this kind of pain, and he can get everything he wants."

"But everything here is fake!" Ron said eagerly.

"Yes, this place is fictional, but it won't hurt him here." Regulus replied coldly. "What's more," his expression softened, "who can tell what is real and what is fake? No matter how illusory a place is, as long as there are things people care about, they will be happy to live there."

"Harry is what Sirius misses most! He wouldn't want to be here!"

"Really?" Regulus laughed suddenly, "Is Harry Potter the person my brother cares about the most?"

Ron was suddenly speechless.Regulus meant...he meant...

"You still don't understand how different my space is from other people's. Souls that are neither living nor dead settle here, and the living and the dead can come and go freely. If there is nothing you care about in that world, you will certainly Agree, my place is the most real and free. Here, he can meet all the people he wants to see most."

"You are still not convinced, but I am not giving him the freedom to choose. As I said, because I want him to stay, everything here will develop according to his wishes. And he has expressed his wishes Quite obvious. Now do you understand? He devised the rules for crossing the lake, not Dumbledore; he chose to see and go behind the veil, not me."

Two people when going, one person when returning.

"...Okay, okay. We don't like this rule, but what, do you want to follow it?"

"...I think Draco should stay here."

"... Does it look like a Pensieve? Could there be Regulus' memory hidden in it?"

Ron covered his head.In fact, he still could not accept such a result.Perhaps subconsciously, he thought things should be played out gradually, at least... Sirius should open up to them and have a serious goodbye.Rather than being like now, the soul is stripped naked by the space, and disappears in everyone's life without saying hello.He hasn't married Lupine and Tonks yet, they're still waiting for the next Order of the Phoenix meeting, and he's back as their witness...

"Go back quickly, child, you mistakenly drank the water used to purify your soul, which I prepared for Dumbledore before. What you are hungry for is not your body, but your soul, and you can only relieve it by returning to reality. My space has already got what it wants, and it will return the Horcrux to you. Let’s go by boat, this is already the best ending. If you have a chance, you can come back and see him.”

"I, I want to see him for the last time." Ron's eyes were moist, "Please, Regulus."

Regulus closed his eyes. "Come here." He beckoned to him, and behind him, a glowing curtain slowly appeared.It is so huge that it completely blocks the straight stone path behind it.Regulus lifted him up and pushed him in. "The people in the curtain are all souls or phantoms. You can speak to him boldly without worrying about being recognized." His voice sounded so ethereal from the other side of the curtain, like the gospel from another world.

Ron stood in the brightly lit Black House.It looks more gorgeous than the real Grimaud 12, the chandelier that was broken in half and stolen by Mundungus is still hanging in the center of the living room, the flames of 36 candles dance with the music; the rotation behind the sofa The steps are also waxed, and the floor reflects the spinning dance of the guests.

"Another new one!" a woman called out to Ron as they danced. "Don't be restrained! It's like being in your own home!"

"It's like being at home, hum, thanks to her being able to say it, hum. Hey, this guest, please let Kreacher pass."

Ron took a few steps back in surprise.Kreacher—the house-elf, who was as unlovable as he was in reality, put a large plate of cookies and black tea on the dining table. "Want some, sir?" It didn't look like it recognized him.

"Let him get used to it, Kreacher," said the woman just now in an enthusiastic tone. "Who didn't come here like this?"

She stood under the chandelier and danced her body, but there was also no shadow.Her face finally awakened Ron's memory, and he called out, "You are Professor Caredi Bubbaji, you taught us Ma
