Black Old House.

Sirius, Felix, and Dumbledore are sitting in three positions, and the atmosphere in the room is very solemn.

"He needs a funeral." Sirius insisted.

"I totally agree that Regulus is a hero-he also saved an innocent life and has a heart of gold... totally worthy of this honor." Dumbledore said gently, "but , We can’t reveal the existence of Horcrux, it will cause a lot of trouble."

His eyes were cast on the long sofa through the half-moon lens. Next to Sirius, a youngster was lying quietly. With his hands folded on his chest, his black curly hair was scattered, as if he was asleep.

Regulus looks very similar to his big brother, especially his side face, like a young Sirius who has not experienced twelve years in prison. He will always be 18 years old. But it accomplished something that many people could not do in their entire lives.

"Why-I don't understand!"

Sirius felt that his brother's honor had been stolen, and he deserved more, such as a grand funeral. The white marble coffin, garland and green grass field, in front of everyone, recite the life and glory of Regulus·Acturus·Black, and everyone praised his outstanding contribution...

Rebelled against Voldemort and sacrificed his life Taking Horcrux away was an important part of his feat, and he wanted to let everyone know it.

"Sirius," Dumbledore said solemnly: "I have been trying my best to avoid the spread of this evil magic, even if it is just a name. Imagine, when people know that there is such a magic, they only need Simple killing-please forgive my wording, for some people, this is indeed a simple thing-they can touch immortality, what a good deal!"

" I don’t think—"

"That's you, Sirius. No one will deny your courage and conviction. If Voldemort returns one day, will you pick up wand again?"

"Of course! I will fight to the end!" Sirius said without hesitation.

"That's it," Dumbledore said, "But can you face death calmly?"

"I won't cut my soul, Dumbledore!"

"Of course you won't," Dumbledore said soothingly: "But if an extreme situation happens, the person you value is dying, or is bound to die, you desperately want to keep him... At this time, when you listen To a magic that can be resurrected from the dead, do you still care if it is evil or not?"

Sirius hesitated. At this moment, the faces of several people flashed before his eyes, and he had lost too much. Many, I really don’t want the same thing to happen again.

"People will flock to them and use all means to discover Horcrux’s secrets-selfish dark wizard for themselves, honest people for family and friends, brave Auror for comrade-in-arms, despicable Ambitious is eternal power...think about it, Sirius, what a terrifying scene is that!"

Sirius gasped, thinking of the terrifying scene, his sanity has been persuaded, but I still feel sad.

For a long while, he said hoarsely: "Then, then--"

The quiet for a long time Felix said: "Regulus can be arranged to be the person of the Order of the Phoenix. In the name of an undercover agent, to restore his reputation..."

"No, Felix, I don’t want to do that." Sirius refused, "Regulus is a lone warrior. I hope people understand what he has done When confronting Voldemort's difficult decision, he showed incredible courage." He looked towards Dumbledore, "Then don't mention Horcrux, but at least don't ignore his behavior against Voldemort, okay?"

Dumbledore nodded and said, "I would love to announce this at the funeral."

"Thank you..." Sirius said, in the absence of witnesses, I want to keep the funeral from becoming self-talking. For a joke, there must be a person with enough prestige to personally affirm Regulus's contribution, and Dumbledore is the best candidate.

He will put his reputation on the end of the balance, testify for the former Death Eater and then the descendants of House of Black who disappeared silently, and lift him up...

As for Sirius himself, many people still don't know the news of his redress. If he suddenly appears in Diagon Alley, it will definitely cause a scream of fear.

"Then, I, uh," Sirius said slowly, "I will determine the process, I will do it myself, and I will also determine the list of invitations to the funeral—" He suddenly showed disgust, mumbled Say: "Those of my relatives, there are not many good people."

"I can invite some friends, Sirius." Felix said.

"Thank you, thank you." Sirius said, "Although my big brother is not qualified and has been detained for more than ten years, the name Black is worth their trip."

"The influence of the pure-blood family is reflected at this time." He said without emotion, making it difficult to distinguish between pride and sarcasm, and he whispered: "Just this time..."

Dumbledore said goodbye, and the flames in the fireplace burned.

"Wait a minute, Headmaster Dumbledore, let's go together," Felix said, and he got up to his feet. "That's right—"

Felix took out a locket from his pocket. He carried the gold chain, and the locket trembled.

"This is the fake Horcrux I took out of the stone basin. I took a look. No other magic was attached. There was only a note left by Regulus."

Sirius reached out and took it. This fake locket was created by Regulus based on Kreacher's description. Kreacher was just a quick glance at the time, so this imitation was not qualified-not only the size is not right, but also the "S" symbolizing Salazar Slytherin "There are no signs.

He mechanically opened the lid of the locket, and there was only a small stack of parchment inside. He opened it and took a look, his eyes were instantly wet, and he trembled and read the words above——

"To the Dark Lord

When you read this letter, I am dead, but I want you to know: I found your secret. I have taken the truth. Horcrux, and intend to destroy it as soon as possible.

I am willing to die, only for you to be a mortal when you hit your opponent.

RAB"

Kreacher let out a cry and fell to the ground.

Dumbledore sighed, turned around and walked into the fireplace, Felix followed along and left. In the office of Professor Ancient Runes, the two had a brief conversation.

"Do you think some of my actions are unkind, Felix?" Dumbledore showed a tired expression.

"You just have to think about too many things, weigh the pros and cons, plan the overall situation... Albus."

Dumbledore gave him a surprised look, and he smiled relaxedly: "Let us To be happy, well, I need to express my gratitude. In fact, in addition to Hao Qi's line, I have been investigating the Wu Orphanage where Voldemort lived during his childhood, but it has been demolished because of its age.

But I haven't given up. If it weren't for you, maybe I would run into that cave."

Felix laughed: "With your mana, he can definitely crack his secret... There is one thing worth noting. I found that Voldemort is very good at curses, and he is used to linking curses with human desires."

Dumbledore slightly nodded: "It is indeed worth noting that he may take advantage of human weaknesses. , Set up a trap."

Finally, Dumbledore told Felix that he had to stop revealing the existence of Horcrux. The reason was the same as when he persuaded Sirius. Felix didn't think this was alarmist.

"Then Harry..."

"I've talked to him," Dumbledore said with a distressed expression, "He and his friends want to find out more about Horcrux Secret, I also want to ask Irma for this. Fortunately, I found out in advance."

Felix is ​​also a dangerous undercover. He himself is not interested in Horcrux at all, and didn't expect the possible consequences pointed out by Dumbledore. In addition, Harry was destined to confront Voldemort, so he had no psychological burden when he revealed this part of the information.

It is estimated that Harry didn't expect this, so he planned to ask the librarian Irma Madam Pince.

……

The next time flies quickly. In a blink of an eye, it came to June. At the beginning of the month, Felix proctored the final exams for three, four, and six years, and watched the new One-year wizard level exams-OWLs and NEWTs.

The examiners sent by the Wizard Examination Bureau were the same people from last year. When the examination was over, Fifth Year and Seventh Year students played happily and celebrated their release from the purgatory year.

A week before the end of the school year, Felix held the last Mowen Club rally of the semester.

All members of the club are very excited, because an open secret has been circulating among them for a long time, and Professor Haip intends to teach them an ancient magic!
