[HP] Alchemy and Love

Lorenthia immediately followed and interrupted Kreacher before he could say abusive words, "That's right, Regulus gave you an order not to let your family find out, right?" She said, "So , in order to obey his orders, you have to keep this whole thing well hidden from other people, right?"

"Little master——" Kreacher said, his eyes followed Regulus closely again. Lorenthia was afraid that he would interrupt Lily's treatment progress, so she hurriedly continued to distract him: "Look, Ray It is impossible for Gules' situation to improve soon, if you bring him back, this matter will definitely be discovered by your family, and it will violate your young master's order."

"Kreacher is bad, Kreacher can't take Master Regulus home—!" Kreacher cried again and fell to the ground.

I don't know how much effort it took before Lorenthia persuaded Kreacher to leave.When Kreacher finally disappeared with a plop, she was completely exhausted, bent down, her elbows on her knees, her face in her hands.It was a wonderful night--too good to be true.The few hours just now have almost exhausted her energy reserve for interpersonal communication for a month.

However, as much as she wanted to escape home and sleep alone, things couldn't allow her to do so.Regulus' condition was not stable yet, and there were still many things she needed to explain.

After covering her face and taking a few deep breaths, she felt a warm hand on her shoulder.She put her hands down, looked up and, as expected, saw Remus looking at her with concern. "Thank you," he whispered, "how are you?"

Among the people present, Remus had known her the longest and had the deepest understanding, and he was the only one who understood how much pressure this situation had put on Lorenthia, which made her feel warm. "It's okay." She said, got up and walked to the other side of the room, where Lily was lifting the head of the semi-conscious Regulus, and the three of them worked together to feed him a small bottle of medicine.

"How is he?" Remus asked.

"I have detoxified the most important toxin components, and there should be no life-threatening for the time being, but if the specific formula of the medicine is not clear, it may still cause a variety of sequelae. After all, I am not a professional therapist. This situation should have been sent to St. Mungo..." Lily said with a frown, "I will go to Xi...to discuss with Madam Pomfrey, of course, after Dumbledore's permission. He replied to you ?"

Only then did Lorenthia remember, and she took out her communication card and glanced at it, "Professor Dumbledore said he will arrive as soon as possible."

Lily nodded, and was busy casting various spells on Regulus again. After a while, she turned around, picked up a row of flasks placed beside her, and began to test the potions inside. Cast a spell.Alchemy itself also requires strong control over materials and potions, but Lorenthia's strengths are not in the direction of poisons/medicines and healing potions after all, she can only roughly see that some of the spells are used to determine the ingredients of potions , Some will have some impact on the finished potion, but she doesn't know the more specific ones.Several other people in the room fell into an embarrassing idleness, Sirius suddenly asked: "So, how did you know Kreacher?"

He asked this very bluntly, with a slightly questioning tone, but Lorenthia really couldn't blame him. "He's been in my shop a few times on behalf of the Black family—before I knew you, of course," she said. He's more friendly, we get along pretty well...of course, well, I guess...there's also the reason I'm pureblood..."

She didn't have much confidence in the latter sentence, maybe because Kreacher had just insulted Lily and Remus, but respected her so much, she felt a little sorry for them both for no reason.But, the truth is, Kreacher did show only a modicum of respect for herself and James, and she did take the credit of being a pureblood.She even vaguely guessed whether it was because she hired Lupine who was a werewolf that the Black family stopped patronizing.

Sirius seemed rather disapproving of her being kind to Kreacher, but he didn't say much, accepting her explanation.The few people survived for a few more minutes in the anxiety of being unable to help. Suddenly, a cluster of flames appeared in the room out of thin air, and Phoenix Fawkes appeared out of a whirlwind of flames with Dumbledore.

"I'm sorry to scare you, but it seems urgent. This is the fastest way of transportation I can think of." Dumbledore said kindly, but his eyes scanned the whole room sharply, and stopped on Regulus for a moment.

"Professor Dumbledore!" Several people called out at the same time, each breathed a sigh of relief, "Professor, can you contact Madam Pomfrey?" Lily asked, "I—I know this is a Death Eater, But he seems to have been wounded against Voldemort—”

Dumbledore stepped forward quickly, knelt down beside Regulus, and slowly brushed his fingers over his slightly heaving chest, paused there for a moment, and withdrew his hand. "Before we're sure whether his mistakes are worthy of death, I think we should treat them first." He said, "Fox, could you please inform Pomona?"

Fawkes let out a soft cry, fluttered his wings, and disappeared in the firelight. Dumbledore turned to Lily, "Of course, to be on the safe side, I think someone should be by Madam Pomfrey's side when she is being treated..."

"I can go, and I can help along the way." Lily said enthusiastically.

Madam Pomfrey was brought in quickly.Although she was wearing a nightgown and muttering and complaining, she immediately became focused when she saw Regulus, summoned a stretcher and brought him to the guest room for treatment, and Lily followed.Dumbledore turned to the others: "Sit down, all of you." He said, he sat on the sofa first, and James, who was restless and always glanced upstairs, also sat down, waiting for everyone to sit down. Sitting down, Dumbledore asked: "First of all, I would like to ask you to explain to me in detail what happened."

James told him the whole process of the matter, and Sirius completed the part of saving people in the cave. According to him, the place he arrived was on a small island in the middle of a black lake, and there was a stone basin in the center of the island. The basin is full of green potion, emitting a faint green light.Regulus fell on the edge of the island, with one hand submerged in the water, semi-conscious. The Holy Spirit torch emitted a strong white light and fell beside him, just being blocked by his body, so that it did not roll into the lake.The surroundings of the island were crowded with densely packed infernal corpses, ready to move around the edge of the light, but due to the obstruction of the torch light, none of the infernal corpses could approach Regulus.He took Regulus, and Kreacher took him, back to James and Lily's house.

None of the people present were good at healing magic and potions, and everyone didn't understand the specific process of Lily's treatment, so this paragraph was passed in passing.It was quite a tortuous process from when Lorenthia met the mysterious guest until Regulus was rescued. By the end of the story, Lily had already walked down the stairs, "Madam Pomfrey said that he should be out of danger— —”

"Is he awake?" asked Sirius impatiently.

"Not yet," Lily said apologetically, "we both thought it might be better to let him sleep on for a while - that poison/drug has made him extremely weak now, but he'll be fine. Madam Pomfrey has gone back, She asked me to convey to you that, as a precaution, it would be safer for a patient in this condition to be transferred to St. Mungo's."

"I'm afraid we can't let Regulus transfer to St. Mungo's due to various considerations." Dumbledore shook his head, "Thank you, Lily. Have you researched what kind of poison/drug it is?"

"Caparatis Poison, the more common name is Heart Devouring Poison." Lily replied smoothly, "This poison/drug essentially causes the loss of vitality and magic ability, and thus leads to extreme weakness. It causes hallucinations, and usually these hallucinations will replay the most regrettable and painful scenes in the poisoned person's life... But fortunately, this poison will not be fatal immediately. As long as the rescue is timely, most of the toxins can be neutralized, and the rest will cause death. A series of sequelae, including the decline of magic power, but not fatal."

This explanation made Sirius a little more at ease, and Lorencia was also a little relieved.Dumbledore nodded and turned to Lorenthia: "So, how sure are you about the information mentioned in the card earlier?"

His tone is very casual, but his eyes are very stressful, they are the eyes when he is concentrating.Lorenthia couldn't help looking away after only less than half a second of looking at each other, but this half second was enough for her to feel that Dumbledore attached importance to it. "I'm not quite sure, after all, I haven't... haven't seen anything like this before." She said cautiously, not knowing whether Dumbledore intended to expose the news to them, so she decided not to ask Dumbledore first. When she mentioned the name, she didn't mention it, "But I've never seen such a dark magic item, sir. Even if it wasn't, it was scary enough."

"I can understand." Dumbledore said slowly, "But, if you were to judge, would you think it was?"

Lorenthia could feel that the curiosity of James, Sirius and Remus was going to explode, but she didn't interrupt them out of respect for Dumbledore, "I think so, Professor." She said with determination .

Dumbledore nodded solemnly, fingertips facing each other, as if lost in thought.James took a moment to ask, "What the hell are you talking about? The Slytherin locket?"

Lorenthia looked at Dumbledore inquiringly, and the headmaster put down his hands, and looked around seriously at everyone present. "I think each of you has the right to know the truth." He said in a deep voice, "but this matter, although it cannot be fully confirmed yet, may have a very huge impact. I ask you to assure me that you will not use today's Tell anyone else about the night."

"Of course!" James and Sirius promised happily, and Lily, Remus and Lorenthia also nodded affirmatively.Dumbledore asked again: "This matter is very important. Can you guarantee that to anyone, including friends—" He glanced at James and Sirius, "—Master—" He looked at Lorenchy Ya, "—and your family, don't you say a word?"

This time there was obvious hesitation from everyone, and even Lorenthia didn't answer for a moment: This matter is so important that even Newt, Tina and her parents have to hide it?However, out of respect and trust for Dumbledore, she nodded slowly and made a sure promise.After James, Sirius, Lily and Remus also made promises one by one, Dumbledore nodded and looked at Lorenthia.

"The locket that Kreacher brought out—it was indeed a Slytherin locket, I think it was the real thing, but it was later enchanted with powerful dark magic," said Lorenthia, her voice Trembling slightly because of nervousness, "I think it might be a Horcrux."

The author has something to say: The author is a die-hard fan of the principal, but I think that if the principal had a choice, he would not let others know about the Horcrux, even James Lily and others.In the original book, the Order of the Phoenix also went through life and death for him, but in the end even Professor McGonagall didn't even know what Harry was after.

But now, there are two more insiders, Lorenthia and Regulus, and Remus and others have basically participated in the whole process. It is unrealistic to cover up this news from them, even if Lorencia Ya can follow the headmaster's wishes and not disclose it to the outside world, but Regulus can't tell.So I struggled here for a long time, and still felt that Dumbledore would let them know something about Horcruxes.
