Harry returns from Hogwarts Legacy

Chapter 211 Have you seen Harry Potter?

What Dumbledore said made sense, at least Harry agreed with it.

Harry could understand Sirius's eagerness to find Regulus, but he did not agree with it.

Just as everyone's impression is, Voldemort is extremely cunning and evil. Who knows whether he has left some unspeakable things or some dangerous black magic curse in that cave.

Don't doubt it, he is totally capable of doing this.

After hearing Harry express his concerns, Sirius sighed and sat next to Kreacher.

"Of course I know that cave is dangerous, but I have to do something..."

Even though Sirius initially believed that Regulus was a Death Eater who was bent on following Voldemort, the antisocial Dark Lord, Sirius never gave up trying to persuade his brother to turn back from his ways. What's more, he now knew that his brother was a hero who was fighting against the Dark Lord.

How could Sirius, who had a deep love for his brother, remain indifferent after learning the last place Regulus appeared?
"I still don't recommend you just go there." Lupin sat down next to Sirius, patted his shoulder and said, "We all know that Voldemort is extremely cunning by nature. Now that he knows about Regulus' betrayal, he will definitely not remain indifferent. Think about it - the Black mansion has been cursed by him with several dark magic in this year, not to mention that cave? I think he must have set some traps, waiting for you to get in."

"Then we can only watch from outside?" Sirius punched the bed with his fist, sending Kreacher flying.

"That's all we have for now," Lupin sighed.

Sirius rubbed his hair in annoyance, knowing that what Lupin said made sense.

To put it bluntly, we are not going to rescue people, we are just going to collect the bodies, there is no need to rush so much...

If Voldemort really set a trap in the cave, that would be really bad luck.

"It seems that our guess is correct," Dumbledore said softly, "Voldemort really collected the relics of the Big Four and used them to create Horcruxes. In addition to the Slytherin pendant he gave to Regulus, he also made the Hufflepuff gold cup into a Horcrux and placed it in the Lestrange family vault."

"Did you take it out?" Sirius asked with concern.

"We have taken it out." Dumbledore replied, "But we are not planning to destroy it in a hurry. After all, it is Helga's relic. We are looking for a way to destroy the Horcrux without destroying the carrier."

"That's a really difficult question." Snape added sinisterly from the side.

"So, I suspect that Voldemort obtained the Ravenclaw Diadem in some way and made it into a Horcrux." Dumbledore looked around and continued, "But we don't know where he hid the diadem. Perhaps he gave it to a trusted Death Eater, or he hid it somewhere like the pendant."

Sirius pondered for a moment and continued to ask Kreacher, "Kreacher, besides the pendant, what else did Voldemort give to Regulus? I need you to tell me the truth and don't hide anything."

"In addition to the locket, I remember he also gave Master Regulus a portrait." Kreacher said shrilly, "The portrait was placed under Master Regulus' bed. Kreacher put it there himself - I just don't know if the Dark Lord took the portrait away when he controlled Kreacher."

"portrait?"

Everyone was stunned.

How could there be any portrait of Voldemort, a man who doesn’t recognize any relatives?
"Let's go and take a look." Sirius said after a moment's hesitation, "Perhaps the portrait hides some secrets, some unspeakable secrets about Voldemort."

They led Kreacher all the way up the stairs and opened the door to Regulus's room.

Kreacher walked to Regulus' bed, lifted up the silver and green sheets, and rummaged carefully underneath for a long time before finally pulling out a box.

He took the box out and put it on the floor.

"This is it. Kreacher remembers that Master Regulus asked him to keep this thing safe."

Just as Sirius was about to step forward and open the box, he was stopped by Dumbledore.

"This thing is not that simple, Sirius, I suggest you get it checked out."

Dumbledore looked back at Snape, who understood, walked forward, picked up his wand, and swung it at the box.

A puff of black smoke came out of the box, and after a while, it was slowly opened.

"Your guess is correct, Dumbledore." Snape said, "If Black had been allowed to go up like this, perhaps each of us would have been given a pot of dog meat soup tonight."

Sirius glanced back at Snape and said nothing.

"Look whose portrait this is," Harry said aloud, and used a spell to pull the portrait out of the box.

The portrait looked very delicate and was protected by a luxurious frame. Harry looked closely and saw a man with black hair and wearing a Slytherin school uniform, who was sleeping peacefully in the portrait.

"Omines?"

Harry glanced back at Vivi and Cassandra in surprise, but he did not rush to name the portrait.

Dumbledore noticed Harry's expression and immediately understood what was going on.

As a man who has lived for more than a hundred years, Dumbledore is still very good at observing people's words and expressions.

"Perhaps this is the portrait of Omnius Gaunt." Dumbledore confirmed: "At that time, Harry and I went to the old Gaunt house and saw Marvolo Gaunt... Voldemort's grandfather..."

"Gaunt? Old Gaunt is Voldemort's grandfather?" Sirius asked in astonishment, "The old madman from the Gaunt family? I've also heard of the name Morfin Gaunt. Rumor has it that their whole family are madmen..."

"Your family is not much better." Lupin muttered to himself, but the highly emotional Professor Lupin did not say it out loud.

It’s no wonder that friendship broke down so suddenly. After all, the wizarding world knows about Walburga Black’s glorious deeds… “Yes, Voldemort’s mother is Marvolo Gaunt’s daughter, Merope Gaunt—his middle name comes from his grandfather Marvolo.” Dumbledore nodded slightly and said, “After graduating, Voldemort returned to the Gaunt mansion and killed his Muggle father and his family. He also framed his uncle Morfin Gaunt and stole the Gaunt family heirloom ring on his middle finger.”

"So there is such a relationship..." Sirius said as if he had realized something: "Then why did Voldemort take away this... Omnis Gaunt?"

"According to seniority, this Mr. Omnius Gaunt should be the elder brother of Voldemort's grandfather..." Dumbledore said slowly, "Also, you may not know that this Mr. Omnius Gaunt is also my senior. He entered school six years earlier than me. He was very famous in school because of his excellent spell skills. Even though he was blind, he could still become the chief duelist."

"No wonder Voldemort took his portrait away." Sirius said with sudden enlightenment: "So this Omnius Gaunt is so powerful... That makes sense... But what could he know?"

"Oh, that's a lot." Dumbledore winked at Sirius mysteriously, "He must know some of Voldemort's secrets, and he must know something unknown, otherwise Voldemort would not have allowed Regulus to treasure this portrait."

However, at this moment, Kreacher suddenly muttered, "You are wrong, the bearded Headmaster Dumbledore - Master Regulus received an order to destroy the portrait, but he disobeyed Voldemort's order..."

"Destroy?" Harry asked in surprise, "Why would Voldemort want to destroy the portrait of Omnius Gaunt? Besides... even if he wanted to destroy the portrait, wouldn't it be easier if he did it himself..."

"You saw it, Harry." Sirius frowned and said, "This may be part of Voldemort's plan. I have never hesitated to speculate on any of Voldemort's actions with the greatest malice. Perhaps the dark magic curse he left on this box was prepared for Regulus, who knew his secret and helped him store the Slytherin locket. If he obeyed Voldemort's orders obediently, he would be cursed by Voldemort... and by accident, Voldemort did not expect Regulus to betray him in the cave, so he thought Regulus' death was due to the execution of his orders..."

Ron reached up and scratched his head, looking from Sirius to Hermione.

He felt like his CPU was about to burn out. What was going on?
Why is Voldemort so cunning? Oh, Merlin's fattest briefs Voldemort. Why is Voldemort so bad?

"Is that so?" Dumbledore tilted his head and glanced at Snape.

"No doubt about it." Snape said coldly: "This is consistent with the Dark Lord's style. He won't trust anyone."

"If a person lives to this point and doesn't trust anyone, then what's the point of living?" Sirius said with a sigh.

Who would have thought that when hearing these words, Snape's pupils suddenly shrank.

"It's better than some big fat head who believes everything," he said greasy and sardonic, "because of his stupidity, arrogance and pride, he caused people to die who didn't deserve it."

I thought Sirius would retort, but unexpectedly, Sirius just sat silently beside the bed.

After a long pause, he said in a hoarse voice: "You're right, James and I did trust the wrong person - if we could have seen the true face of the traitor earlier, perhaps Harry would not have lost his father and mother..."

"This is fate, the fickle fate." Vivi murmured aside and put her hand on Harry's shoulder.

Harry reached out and touched Vivi's little hand. He was not thinking about why his father and Sirius should believe Peter, but was wondering what Voldemort would place in the cave.

Going to the cave is not a top priority. After all, so many years have passed, and Regulus trapped there has long since turned into a corpse.

Becoming a Yin corpse means that there is no need to rush to find him back for the time being. After all, there is no difference between earlier or later.

Even if it had happened a few days earlier, Regulus, who had already turned into a corpse, would not have been rescued. There is no such curse in the world.

In fact, Dumbledore did not expose Snape. Although it was Snape who leaked the prophecy to Voldemort, if James had listened to the advice of his headmaster and let him be the secret keeper, Voldemort would not be able to threaten the Potters even if he found the ends of the earth.

When he thought of this, Dumbledore also felt it was very strange.

Why would James write to himself and ask him to go to Godric's Hollow to borrow the invisibility cloak?
Of course, even if the Invisibility Cloak is the Deathly Hallows, it makes no difference to wizards of Voldemort and Dumbledore's level.

When James and his bad boys were wearing invisibility cloaks and causing trouble in the school, if Dumbledore wanted to discipline them, he would have done it long ago.

However, in Dumbledore's view, it was harmless for Gryffindor to be a little naughty, so he acquiesced to their wandering around the school at night wearing invisibility cloaks.

"Well, let's ask Mr. Gaunt." Lupin changed the subject in time and said to Dumbledore, "Perhaps he knows some secrets about Voldemort, such as how many Horcruxes he has and what they are. What do you think, Dumbledore?"

"That's a good suggestion," said Dumbledore, tapping the frame with his wand.

Omnius, who was sleeping soundly in the portrait, opened his sleepy eyes, looked up at Dumbledore, and then looked at the weather outside.

Omenis stretched out his arms and stretched his body.

"It seems that I have come out of the box, right?" He said lightly, "You are not my perverse and crazy descendant. Can I know your identity?"

"Albus Dumbledore," Dumbledore said to Omines.

"I've heard of you. You're the person he fears the most." Omnis said softly, "Oh, I'm sorry - I've been locked up for too long, so I talk a little too much... Let me introduce myself, I'm Omnis Gaunt."

"I have heard of your name, Mr. Gaunt," said Dumbledore. "I entered Hogwarts in 1892, so I should be your junior."

"So that's how it is." Omenis said suddenly.

After a moment, he continued, "Well, Headmaster Dumbledore, I want to ask you about someone - have you seen Harry Potter?"

Hearing this name, everyone present was stunned.

Everyone looked at Harry, wondering why this old Hogwarts senior from a hundred years ago actually knew Harry.
