Just a Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor

Sherlock had never met Regulus, but he still went to the Black family's ancestral home, so he was not unfamiliar with the name.

"Sirius's brother?"

Dumbledore nodded.

"He was already involved with the Death Eaters when he was in school. After graduation, he made his attitude clear and undisguised and became Voldemort's loyal subordinate."

After confirming the identity of the visitor, they stopped making a sound and watched as the pair of masters and servants, Regulus and Kreacher, approached the stone platform.

Regulus seemed to have said something to Kreacher, and Kreacher became very frightened.

He yelled in a panic, and his already huge eyes were so excited that they seemed to jump out of their sockets.

But Regulus' expression was firm. He shook his head and rejected Kreacher's proposal, and then gave him a certain order with a stern expression.

Kreacher's face turned sad. He was forced to do something he didn't want to do.

Then, the white shadow of Regulus scooped up the poison in the stone basin and drank it!

Voldemort's poison used to protect Horcruxes was extremely powerful. After taking the third sip, Regulus fell to his knees, crying and unable to drink any more.

At this time, Kreacher painfully and faithfully carried out the orders his master had given him before. He forcefully fed the potions into Regulus's mouth, no matter how much he begged.

Apparently, Kreacher had received instructions from a higher level before he was ready to drink the poison.

Just like that, Regulus drank all the potion in the stone basin by himself, and finally he collapsed on the ground, his body twitching in agony.

But Kreacher didn't stop what he was doing.

He took out a locket from the empty stone basin, and then took out a new locket from his body and put it in.

Regulus couldn't resist the burning thirst in his mouth. He struggled to crawl to the lake, just like Kreacher before, wanting to drink the water in the lake.

But before he could open his mouth, he seemed to be pulled by something. Countless hands grabbed him, as if they were dragging him to the bottom of the lake!

Kreacher screamed, rushing to Regulus' side and grabbing his master's ankle, seemingly trying to Disapparate.

But his body disappeared from the same place, but Regulus did not leave with him!

The magic set up by Voldemort here is extremely powerful. Although there are loopholes like house elves, the wizard cannot leave with the elf.

After discovering that Regulus had not been taken away, Kreacher returned here.

He knelt down sadly on the ground, watching in despair as his most beloved young master was dragged into the lake bit by bit by those arms, until the white shadow representing Regulus completely disappeared into the rock. island.

Kreacher's white shadow knelt on the ground and cried for a long time, and finally disappeared into the cave with the locket he got from the stone basin.

The island fell into silence.

Gu Lian

Sherlock and Dumbledore were silent. Neither of them spoke. This silence lasted for a long time.

Until Sherlock broke the silence first.

"Regulus betrayed Voldemort. After he got the information about the Horcrux from Kreacher, he came back here with him to take it away."

Dumbledore's expression was very complicated, including sighs, relief, anger, and guilt, and he spoke.

"He did not let Kreacher sacrifice for him. He truly regarded this elf as his family. Everyone thought that he would be Voldemort's most loyal subordinate until his death. But judging from his performance, he and the others The images in people's perception are very different, and I had misunderstandings about him before. His behavior of preferring to die by himself rather than let the elf take his place is enough to reveal his character."

Sherlock also lamented that not all pure-blood families are people who care about profits without thinking.

Among them are not only outliers like the Weasley family, noble people like the Longbottom family, but also polarized families like the Black family. Some members are willing to die for Voldemort, while others become Sirius and Regulus. A person like Si.

"Now that we have seen this, we will clear up Regulus's name. Professor, the key now is that the real locket that was originally placed here has long been replaced and taken away by Kreacher, and now it is in Poison The following is most likely a fake, and only Kreacher knows where the real Horcrux is."

"We need to go find Kreacher and ask him where the locket he exchanged is."

The historical picture prevented them from taking unnecessary risks first. Judging from the current situation, Sherlock's feeling was not wrong at all. The things hidden here had nothing to do with Horcruxes.

Dumbledore transformed into a raven again, stood on Sherlock's shoulders, and walked onto the boat with him.

The moment they got on the boat, the ghostly hull started to drive on its own and left the rocky island.

However, as the boat slid towards the shore, countless ripples appeared on the originally calm lake surface!

"They were alarmed." Sherlock said with a frown.

Standing on his shoulder, Dumbledore opened his beak.

"Fire, this is what the Inferi are most afraid of."

As soon as he finished speaking, countless pale arms stretched out from the lake!

Those walking corpses, the inferi that moved solely by their own consciousness like beasts, jumped out of the lake, like a school of flying fish jumping in the sea.

And all their targets are only the boat that Sherlock and Dumbledore are riding on!

Sherlock didn't recite a spell, and dozens of wands appeared around him at some point.

The wands floated beside him, waving them in unison!

The moment all the small wooden sticks finished their last wave and danced downward suddenly, the surrounding air suddenly became restless!

At the moment when the Inferi, which was the first to jump up from the bottom of the lake, had already leapt into the air and landed on top of Sherlock's head, red and yellow flames exploded like fireworks!

The scorching heat spread from the center of the circle around the boat where Sherlock and Dumbledore were. The inferi that could not escape opened their mouths wide and did not even have time to scream in pain. In the blink of an eye, they were covered by the overwhelming flames. Devour!

The calm lake surface in the original version has turned into a sea of ​​fire. The boat continues to move towards the shore. In the direction it goes, the flames will automatically separate to leave a path for them to leave this gloomy place.
