Regulus of Hogwarts: Lord of the Stars

After class in the afternoon, Regulus walked out of the classroom and stopped in the corridor, glancing behind him.

Avery, Alex, and Hermes followed, while Lena and Samuel, who were a little behind, stopped when they saw him standing there.

"Come with me," he said, glancing at Lina and Samuel, "you two come too."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Avery and the others followed, and no one asked any questions.

Lena and Samuel exchanged a glance and followed, but kept a few steps behind, not getting too close.

Lena walked a little ahead, with Samuel half a step behind her to the right. This was a tacit understanding: Lena led the way, and Samuel followed behind.

The group of six left the castle and headed towards the Black Lake.

There aren't many Slytherin students in their second year, and most of them are here now, walking together in a large, impressive procession.

When we reached the Black Lake, the wind was much stronger than it was near the castle.

The lake was gray and its surface was covered with fine ripples. A cold wind swept across the water, carrying moisture and feeling like a knife on my face.

Hermes turned up the collar of his robe, making sure the neckline covered his neck.

Avery rubbed his hands together, muttered something about the weather, and then put his hands back in his pockets.

Alex wrapped the scarf tighter, pulled it up to cover his chin, and glanced around to make sure no one was there.

Lena stood a little distance away, her chin tucked into her scarf, while Samuel stood beside her, his hands in his pockets.

Regulus turned around, his back to the lake, and looked at them.

Avery was a little confused.

Why are you yelling in the middle of winter, when it's so cold?

[Remember the fastest online novel website: 1 ...

He glanced at the sky; it wasn't snowing. He glanced at the Black Lake; it wasn't frozen.

He glanced at Regulus's face; Regulus's expression was the same as usual, revealing nothing.

Alex glanced at Lena and Samuel standing behind him and roughly guessed what had happened.

The matter in Rabastan is not yet resolved. Regulus summoned them out, presumably to discuss the follow-up.

Hermes waited, his face expressionless.

Lina and Samuel looked at each other but remained silent.

Lina's eyes showed a hint of tension, but her expression also seemed to indicate a sigh of relief.

Samuel lowered his head, his gaze fixed on his feet.

Regulus spoke first, his tone unchanged: "What's the status of the Rabastan matter?"

Alex took a step forward, and with the wind blowing, his voice rose a little: "We're almost done. Snape's side has already finished what they've got, and they're just waiting to arrest him."

Regulus looked at Samuel and Lina: "Who?"

Alex didn't say anything more, and looked over as well.

Avery and Hermes turned their gazes as well, and four pairs of eyes fell on them.

Lina stepped forward, took a step, and lifted her chin from under her scarf, her expression serious.

Her face was a little red from the wind, but her eyes were bright, and she didn't hesitate.

"I."

Samuel stood behind her, head down, without saying a word.

Regulus glanced at them.

They saw this as an opportunity; whoever puts in more effort will reap more rewards.

He was pretty sure that Lena was the one who took the initiative, and he was almost certain of that. She might have even made some promise to Samuel: "This time it's my turn, next time it'll be yours."

He nodded and said nothing more.

Then he looked at Alex, and then at Avery and Hermes.

"This matter is not over yet."

Avery was a little confused when he was called out, thinking that it was almost holiday time and Regulus had invited them out to play.

Hearing those words now makes me feel at ease.

He knew all along that it wasn't over, he even hoped it wasn't over, he was just waiting for this.

I just never expected it to be today, in this place, by the lake in the dead of winter, with a cold wind blowing.

From beginning to end, Labastan made the first move, Costa and Vance acted as bait, Snape came in to cooperate, and the Lestrange family was given leverage. Of course, he knew what was going on.

His father once said that the truly reliable people are those who have faced things together and fought an enemy together; only then can they be considered one of our own.

He's always remembered those words, and here he is now.

He didn't rush to speak; instead, he stood more composed than usual. This was a formal occasion, and he had to behave properly.

Hermes merely glanced at Regulus without saying a word.

He wasn't truly mindless; after the incident at the Astronomical Tower, his father spoke to him briefly, but not much more.

Dumbledore, Black, a few words.

Basically, he was told to follow Regulus, and he did, and he submitted to Regulus.

As for how the Lestrange family would react after this, or whether their family would be implicated, he didn't think much about it. He just did it, what else could happen?

Lina and Samuel looked at each other from behind, but neither of them said a word.

They discussed it privately, more than once, and each time they talked in great detail.

They knew their situation there, what accepting Blake's protection meant, and what role they played in this matter.

They appear to be the passive party, targeted by Lestrange and placed into the plan as bait, but they themselves know how much of it was proactive.

They were gambling that Blake wouldn't just use them up and then abandon them.

According to Cola Novels readers' poll for best fantasy novel, "Hogwarts: Lord of the Stars" ranks among the top!

Now Blake has called them all over and is talking about it face to face, without any hesitation or keeping them out.

The action itself is the answer.

They were treated as insiders and allowed to know, which means they wouldn't be abandoned.

The weight lifted from Lina's shoulders, and she straightened up a little.

Regulus glanced around and had a general idea of ​​what was going on; they had all thought about it deeply and come up with the ideas.

But no one fell behind, and no one panicked.

Good.

He continued, his tone still calm: "Rabastan made the first move, it was Costa and Vance who attacked."

For him, this was simply a matter of him having designs on two mixed-race individuals; it didn't matter to him.

He paused for a moment, then continued, "But they are my people. He harmed my people, so it's a matter between him and me."

He continued, "As for you, you've been involved in this from the beginning until now. If there's any follow-up, that's between Black and Lestrange. It doesn't go up to you."

He didn't deliberately lower his tone or elevate it; he simply brought up the matter clearly and told it to five people.

Avery didn't react much after hearing this. He already knew it would go this way, so he wasn't surprised at all, and was even a little excited.

He represented Cuthbert in this matter, becoming embroiled in the conflict between Black and Lestrange.

Looking back, he was someone who had also experienced family power struggles.

When my father finds out, he will probably be pleased; no matter how you look at it, this is a big deal.

Hermes didn't react much either; he was a little disappointed.

If the Lestrange family really takes action, will he be able to handle it?

He wanted to try it.

But thinking about it carefully, what he had was enough for Hogwarts, but probably not enough for that level.

If a real fight breaks out... we'll see.

Alex didn't speak; he had already thought of it, and even thought of it more deeply.

He took the lead in this matter, arranged for Lena and Samuel to be involved, clarified the connection between Snape and Rabastein, and followed up on the whole process.

He had known Regulus for quite some time. Regulus would speak up for small matters, but he wouldn't expend too much energy on them.

Even if the opponent is Rabasta, or the Lestrange family, it's not enough.

Since Regulus is pushing this forward, his purpose must be more than just this.

Regulus is probably after the Lestrange family; Rabastein is just a pretext, an excuse, and a reason on his side.

He had guessed it, but he was also thinking about something else: what was the worst that could happen?

Their family is a branch of Rozier's family, lacking confidence and unable to withstand being implicated.

But since he had already done it, he had done it. He had decided to go along with it then and had no intention of turning back now. He believed that since Regulus had let them participate, he wouldn't abandon them.

This wasn't blind trust; it was the result of his observation, judgment, and final confirmation ever since the incident at the Astronomical Tower.

Regulus never used or discarded those around him.

Regulus looked at the five people in front of him.

Avery's expression was, "Finally here," Hermes's, "Well, come on then," Alex's, "Since we're here..."

Costa and Vance visibly relaxed, then their expressions brightened.

Regulus knew what they were thinking, fearing they would be used and then discarded.

Now that he has made things clear, they feel relieved and even start to wonder what they will get in return for this.

Regulus didn't see anything wrong with it.

He believes that effort should be rewarded, and he even encourages them to think this way, actively upholding this fundamental logic.

Otherwise, how can he maintain the team? Is that ideal?

Regulus observed their reactions and nodded: "That's how it is. You need to know what you're doing."

He paused for a moment, then said, "Now I know."

Avery spoke first, his tone relaxed, with a hint of "that's it."

It seems that Regulus talked for a long time, only to say something they already knew.

He said exactly what he thought: "That's all?"

Alex, standing beside him, nodded slightly, a small but decisive gesture.

Hermes paused for a moment, then glanced to the side in the direction of the Black Lake.

The wind rippled the lake's surface. He glanced at it twice, then turned back, saying listlessly, "No objections."

Lena and Samuel exchanged a glance. Lena spoke first, raising her chin, her voice clear: "Understood."

Samuel added, his tone more composed: "No problem."

That was it. Now that things were settled, all that was left was for them to finish up. Regulus was about to turn around and head back.

"Regulus".

Avery glanced out of the corner of his eye at another direction on the shore of Black Lake, and gestured with his chin in that direction: "Look."

Regulus turned his gaze away.

On the other side of the Black Lake shore, several people were walking this way.
