Everyday Players at Hogwarts.

Chapter 266: Cave Trip
Harry felt like he was going to break down, wondering why he hadn't thought of that.

He actually wanted to delay it.

While they were getting things ready go find Sirius and tell him everything.

But he forgot that this was the boiler room - there was plenty of wood.

Next to it is the kitchen - there is plenty of oil.

Even rags were plentiful in Kreacher's house.

"Harry, we're all ready."

"Aren't there a lot of wood outside? We can use it for cooking."

"Kreacher is ready." Ron, Draco and Kreacher said impatiently.

So Kreacher took a bottle of oil and used it to soak the pile of now clean, colorful rags.

Even the bag that had been cast with the Untraceable Extension Charm, which Harry had no chance to find an excuse to take - it was used to store wood.

Draco had this in him. For the first time, Harry felt that it was not a good thing for Draco's family to be too rich.

Crack!

With the familiar feeling of squeezing, they arrived at the destination in a blink of an eye.

It was a smooth rocky island, about the same size as Dumbledore's office - a flat slab of black stone, empty except for the green light.

Harry and the others, who already knew the layout of the island, naturally understood that it could only be a stone basin.

But even so, Ron couldn't help but walk towards the green light. It turned out that the light was the emerald green liquid in the stone basin.

There was a gleam of phosphorescence in it.

There is a base under the stone basin, which seems to firmly hold the stone basin in place.

"Okay Ron, let's review what to do first."

"We already know from Kreacher's stories that the Inferi attack anyone who goes near the lake."

"And we just need to find Regulus among the Inferi in the lake," Harry emphasized.

They all understood that the most annoying thing about the Inferi was his contagiousness.

As long as there are three or more Yin corpses, the recently dead people near them will become the same beings.

In the era when Voldemort was rampant, in addition to Dementors, Inferi were also a common method used by dark wizards.

And Regulus has undoubtedly become a corpse.

"Okay, Harry, I'm just checking," said Ron, pulling out a bottle filled with pumpkin juice.

"How not?"

"I remember it was full?" said Ron, looking at the empty bottle.

"Ron, I think this should be some magic left by Voldemort. He wanted to make those wizards who were powerful enough to still retain some magic after drinking the basin of liquid unable to quench their thirst with the liquid they carried with them or the water they summoned."

"Vera Verto! (Latin: I convert, I exchange.)" Draco took a piece of wood from his pocket and used a Transfiguration spell to turn it into a cup.

This was the only way he could do it. He couldn't perform a more advanced Transfiguration spell - turning air into a cup.

"Clear water like a spring!" Draco pointed his wand at the wine glass and shouted, and the glass was immediately filled with clear water.

But in the next second, the water in the cup disappeared out of thin air.

"Voldemort is so insidious!" Ron said indignantly. Because he came in such a hurry, he didn't have time to replenish his water.

You know, he just played with Harry and the others for an entire afternoon, and then stayed in the boiler room for nearly an hour!
"Okay, I'll assign the tasks first."

"Kreacher, wrap these woods with oily cloth." Harry looked at Kreacher.

"Okay, Master Harry!" Kreacher said half fearfully and half happily.

The environment here aroused his fear, but the joy of bringing Regulus back filled him with passion.

The elf's magic is magical. Kreacher waved his fingers a few times, and the pile of rags and wood that Harry took out of Draco's bag quickly became tangled together.

"Ron, Draco, let's work together to drive these woods into the ground along the lakeside." "But we have to leave some of them and form a circle around us." Harry then looked at Ron and the others.

In less than ten minutes, a fence and a simple circle were built, and Harry and the others stood inside the circle.

"Finally, I'll count one, two, three."

"Ron, use the spell to summon the lake first, and wait until the Inferi get close to me and Draco before lighting these woods."

"Kreacher, you are responsible for finding Regulus."

"If not, we'll just burn them with a blazing flame."

"Ron, please continue."

"But if we find it, Kreacher, bring Regulus to us immediately!" Harry ordered.

Ron and others nodded in agreement.

"One, two, three!" said Harry.

"Anything is possible, right, Wingardium Leviosa!" Ron cast a levitation spell and pointed his wand at the dark water.

Ron's magic startled something in the lake. The surface of the lake was no longer as smooth as a mirror, but was churning violently.

They looked up and saw white heads and hands emerging from the dark water everywhere, men, women, and children, all with sunken, visionless eyes, floating towards the rocks - a large number of corpses emerged from the dark lake.

They climbed up the rocks, grabbing the slippery rocks with their withered hands, staring in the direction of Harry and the others with their empty, misty eyes, their tattered clothes soaked by water dragging behind them, and their sunken faces exuded evil.

"Now, fire!" Flames burst out from Harry and Draco's wands, and the surrounding wood was all burned.

The corpses that climbed ashore began to stagger and their bodies shook.

They could not move forward because Harry and the others were in a circle of fire.

They also couldn't retreat back into the lake because flames were starting behind them as well.

"Kreacher!" said Harry.

However, before Harry could say anything, Kreacher rushed into the group of Inferi with a torch in his hand.

"Found it! Kreacher found it!" Kreacher shouted.

Sure enough, Regulus was dragged down by the Inferi at the lakeside, so he should be at the lakeside.

Harry looked in the direction of Kreacher, who was holding a torch in his left hand and pulling a dead body with the other.

The Inferi that should be Regulus wanted to hug Kreacher, but did not dare to get close.

"Everything is petrified!"

"Zombie Floating!" Harry chanted to the Inferi with his wand.

"Kreacher, let's go!" Harry shouted.

With tears of joy in his eyes, Kreacher pulled the motionless Inferi floating in the air towards Harry and the others.

Then there was the familiar squeezing feeling.

The next second, they appeared in the boiler room again.

"Master Regulus! You're home! Kreacher—took you home!"

Kreacher took out a towel that had been prepared long ago and wiped it carefully.

Harry and the others now had a chance to look at Regulus.

Perhaps because he is a wizard, unlike other Inferi, his appearance is relatively complete, unlike other Inferi with hollow and sunken eyes.

Apart from the marks of friction from the rocks and the pale skin, he is almost indistinguishable from a living person.

He has the same black hair as Sirius. Although he is not as handsome as his brother, he is also handsome.

"Harry, did we succeed like this?" Draco asked in disbelief.

"Yeah, now we just need to call Sirius." Harry nodded.
