Hogwarts Card System

Since he had just become a father, Ted didn't want Sirius to be too stressed. There is no talk about his brother yet.

But it’s better to deal with the Horcrux sooner rather than later.

This kind of thing must not be allowed to happen to others, Ted couldn't believe it.

Therefore, he used his own golem butler, Little Barty.

During this period of time, little Barty was transforming and adapting to himself, while also closely monitoring and investigating those Death Eaters who had escaped punishment through various means.

In fact, there are quite a few such people.

There are many Death Eaters like Malfoy who are at large in the original books.

In the original book, Voldemort had just been resurrected and used the Dark Mark to summon Death Eaters. Twenty or thirty people came!

These people are all wizards from pure-blood families, and they are much smarter than those die-hard Voldemort fans.

Many of them did not reveal their true identities in the first place, did not act so arrogantly, and did not participate in any major cases that were too shocking.

It's just a lot of fun, just like going to work. So after the fall of Voldemort, the cutting was done easily.

After all, they are the pillars of the pure-blood family, so they can't all be thrown into prison, right? Half of the British wizarding world collapsed.

Besides, it was just a wrong political investment and siding. Even if Voldemort lost, wouldn't Dumbledore still need the help of a pure-blood family to support the entire wizarding world?

Just turn a blind eye and forget it.

However, in the eyes of Barty Jr., these people are all potential enemies.

Because whenever Voldemort comes back, these people will gather around him again. This kind of thing is even involuntary.

Marked with the Dark Mark, it would be impossible to disobey Voldemort.

Do you think Voldemort got a tattoo just to look cool? It is a powerful means of control and a powerful means of punishment.

Although Voldemort has not yet appeared, he will definitely return to England.

If he had made some moves now, then these potential Death Eaters must have made some small moves.

Although little Barty was young when he joined the Death Eaters, his strength and IQ were superior, and he was still very popular with Voldemort.

In fact, Voldemort had more trust in brainwashed young wizards like him.

Therefore, Barty Jr. knew these former colleagues very well. We are now collecting their information, living habits, etc. If necessary, we can catch them all in a short time.

Originally, Little Barty was not a kind-hearted person, not to mention that now that he no longer has human flesh and blood and emotions, he is even more indifferent.

Little Barty: Join the glorious evolution~

Now, his little master assigned him a task. He immediately put down everything else at hand, took those magic props and alchemy potions, and was armed to the teeth. Taking advantage of the night, he appeared in the old house of the Gaunt family. near the house.

Ted, on the other hand, used the contractual relationship with Barty Jr. to observe everything around him through his eyes.

However, in that dilapidated old house, Barty Jr. tried his best to find the ring Ted wanted.

But it was not without gain. He found a hidden compartment under the floor. There was a small box here. It used to contain a small item, but it was no longer there.

"The traces are very new, my master. At most half a year!" Little Barty said.

"Yeah, I know." Ted said.

Taking a deep breath, Ted gathered his thoughts.

The most likely possibility is that the Resurrection Stone ring of the Gaunt family was taken away by Voldemort.

He must have been in England a few months ago, and may not have even left now.

Moreover, he began to collect Horcruxes. This doesn't seem like his habit.

You know, in order to ensure that he could be resurrected, he finally separated seven or eight Horcruxes.

Eggs can't be put in one basket, so Voldemort never puts these things together.

So, why did he take the ring away now?

Sure enough, Voldemort's early resurrection brought huge changes.

"Go look around, go to the old Riddle house."

There is the old Riddle House nearby, which is Voldemort's father's mansion.

I don’t know what stimulated the Gaunt family back then, and they suddenly isolated themselves and stopped contacting other wizards. Then the incest marriage started...

So much so that by Voldemort's mother's generation, people had begun to become deformed and mentally unstable.

In this way, her father and brother still controlled her, not allowing her to leave, and wanted her to marry her brother.

But Voldemort's mother fell in love with her neighbor not far away, the tall, handsome and wealthy Master Riddle.

Although he is self-isolated, he is a wizard after all, and he belongs to a family with ancient heritage.

Voldemort's mother taught herself how to brew a love potion and gave it to Master Riddle to drink when he had the opportunity.

Then they both eloped.

About a year later, Voldemort's mother became pregnant. She began to no longer want to obtain love through this kind of drug control. She felt that after being together for so long, she must already have feelings. Besides, I have a child!

Feeling somewhat confident!

As a result, Master Riddle suddenly woke up after weaning off the medicine. When he thought about it again - oh my god, what a nightmare!

A scary woman who was ugly, even deformed, mentally disturbed and incoherent gave herself a bottle of some kind of medicine, which made her fall in love with her obsessively as if controlled by the devil, and eloped with her!

Riddle ran away that day and ran home.

And the desperate mother Voldemort has nowhere to go, she definitely can't go home. Moreover, the mental shock suffered was too great, and she died after giving birth to Voldemort.

Voldemort discovered the mystery of his life experience before or just after graduation.

To be honest, this is simply a shame!

He became the kind of hybrid he despised the most, and he was born under those circumstances.

It is estimated that his mentality collapsed at that time.

He killed his father's family, and then went to the nearby Gaunt family to kill his grandfather and uncle. He used the family ring to make a Horcrux and hid it here at the time.

…

The two places were not too far apart, less than one kilometer each, and we soon arrived at the Riddle mansion.

As a result, Ted frowned as soon as he arrived at the gate.

Through little Barty's eyes, he saw the heavily rusted door lock open.

The Riddle family was wiped out decades ago. After living in several families, but with no good results, it was abandoned. Now it's called a haunted house.

Ordinarily, there should be an old caretaker living in a hut not far away.

In this case, the lock on the door should not be opened.

Little Barty ducked into the dilapidated manor of the Riddle family, and his figure had disappeared into the darkness.

He moved forward invisibly and soon discovered vague traces on the ground. Someone had walked here a few months ago.

Finally I found a relatively obvious footprint. Fortunately, the temperature has been low and there has been no rain in recent months, otherwise it would have been washed away.

Through footprint analysis, Barty Jr. determined that the owner of the footprints was an old man about 1.75 meters tall, weighing about 160 pounds, and a bit bow-legged...

Ted had a rough idea of ​​who it was, but he didn't say anything.

Little Barty carefully inserted himself into the door. There was still a gap in the door.

Little Barty stretched out a hand, and some small bead-like things fell down from under the mechanical arm, but there was no sound when they landed. Instead, he stretched out eight slender silky legs and turned into a simple little puppet spider, quickly He climbed into the crack of the door and explored around.

After a few minutes, little Barty found a door outside the living room.

"Someone has used a powerful spell here. It feels like the handiwork of the Dark Lord."

Little Barty also found a broken old flashlight against the wall.

It seemed that the old man who was doing the watch had met with misfortune.

"Look around to see if there are any strange signs." Ted ordered.

Perhaps out of pride, Voldemort did not deliberately erase his traces. You can still see the footprints.

But Ted didn't find the traces he wanted to see.

First, there is only one person.

Unlike in the original book, Voldemort did not have Pettigrew or other servants.

Secondly, there are no traces of snakes crawling.

If there is a big python, it will definitely leave crawling marks on the ground covered with thick dust.

In the original book, Pettigrew escaped from school and ran all the way to Albania, where he found Voldemort, who was possessing small animals.

Then he used some unicorn's cursed blood, Nagini's venom, etc. to make a potion, and restored a body like a deformed baby, half resurrected.

However, because Barty Jr. took Ryan to take him away from Albania in advance and helped him to be completely resurrected, he didn't meet Nagini? ! What about the last Horcrux?

"No need to look for it, go back." Ted cut off the contact.

The resurrection stone ring was taken away by Voldemort in advance.

What about the locket?

You can't rush this.

There is no point in being anxious at first.

If Voldemort had taken away the fake locket, there was nothing he could do.

Secondly, even if he recovers a few Horcruxes, between myself, Lao Deng, and maybe even Grindelwald, I will have a three-on-one advantage~

Besides, I only know that the cave is near the sea, but I don’t know where exactly it is. Still need to look for it.

Even if I'm in a hurry, I won't be able to go for a while.

The next day Ted contacted Lupine and told him some simple information and asked him to help find a cave.

The only clue is that Voldemort, who was still in the orphanage, once abused a child here and even pushed him into the sea and almost drowned. This is how we discovered the cave on the cliff.

Therefore, the location of the orphanage was crucial.

Lupine is worthy of being a detective in London, and he is very skilled.

It only took one day to find the cliff cave.

Lupine: "I found the original orphanage, but it was bombed during World War II and was destroyed..."

"However, even if it was destroyed long ago due to the war, the cave must not be far from here. Just find the nearest coastline and search."

Lupine's work is really reassuring.

Now, Ted and Lupine were standing on the edge of a rock with a huge rock pillar.

All you can see are black rocks and no caves. This place is hidden by magic. If the magic is not broken, even if you go up and touch it, it will still be a stone.

Lu Ping tightened his jacket to resist the sea breeze, and said solemnly: "I feel an unusual fluctuation of magic power here..."

His eyes were a little gloomy: "I found out that a few decades ago, there was a village of ordinary people nearby. But overnight, everyone disappeared. Later, the village was abandoned."

He probably guessed what happened to those villagers who disappeared.

In fact, if a powerful dark wizard does evil, it will be an irresistible disaster for ordinary people.

Ted hesitated whether to tell Lupine the specific situation.

Sirius had just given birth to a son, had just tasted the happiness of being a father, and was clumsily taking care of his son.

But it didn’t take long for Lu Ping to get married!

Moreover, in the original book, during the seventh-grade battle, both their husband and wife died, leaving behind a newborn child.

Do you want to tell him yourself?

But even if we don't say it now, how long can we keep this kind of thing a secret?

Voldemort is already on the move, even Grindelwald is a professor at Hogwarts, and... this world is being eroded by other worlds at any time, and strange things arrive every day. in this world.

... Happiness is a bit too rare.

"Ted, what happened?" Lupine asked.

Ted said nothing.

"You have always behaved very maturely, not even like a child. I know you have your own plans, but even if you don't treat us as elders, you should treat us as friends. No matter what, don't bear it alone."

"Okay." Ted smiled, "I hope you won't regret it after listening to it."

"That's what happened. It's related to the Dark Lord..."

Ted spoke eloquently, starting from the beginning, and talked for ten minutes.

Lupine scratched his head with a tangled expression, "To be honest, I do regret it a bit. I regret not asking you earlier and letting you bear this pressure alone..."

Ted rolled his eyes at him, "What are you thinking about? I won't bear this kind of thing alone. Dumbledore is taller, let him bear it."

"If it weren't for the fact that his hair has started to fall out because he has been dealing with a few senior students from other schools who have a lot of troubles recently, I wouldn't care about this kind of thing."

Lupine had long known about the multiple faces on the back of first-year Quirrell's head, so he wasn't really surprised by Voldemort's resurrection.

After hearing about Horcruxes and their functions, I understood why Voldemort could be resurrected.

"Although I can understand that you are considerate of Sirius who has just become a father. But after all, this is his younger brother, and I think he has the right to know. Otherwise... he is too pitiful."

"Okay. I'll contact him."

About half an hour later, Sirius, his house elf Kreacher and Dumbledore all arrived.

Naturally, Dumbledore couldn't let this happen, lest he become suspicious. Besides, with Lao Deng here, he can still be a thug.

It didn't take Lao Deng's intervention. To deal with this old-fashioned hidden magic, Ted transformed the magic into an alchemical circle and destroyed the magic effect. A huge cave was revealed.

"Follow me!" Dumbledore pulled out his wand and took the lead.

Ted took a special look at the weird-looking Elder Wand with tree knots.

Don't tell me, today's wands are all straight and have no distinctive features.

…

This cave went deep into the cliff and it opened up after walking for a while.

However, there is no road in front of us, but a very large pool.

A broken boat was leaning against the shore.

"Shall we paddle across?" Sirius said urgently. He hadn't stopped crying ever since he heard what Ted said about his younger brother. By now my eyes were swollen.

He felt pain in his chest, heartbreaking pain.

His only brother, who had always thought that he was stubborn, disappeared later.

I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it to be like this. He fell in this cold cave...

Kreacher, the old house elf on one side, broke down in tears and knelt on the shore, unable to stand up.

The little master could have let him drink the poison, but he chose to sacrifice himself.
