The Thames River flows quietly, narrow streets and wide squares are interwoven, forming the unique texture of the city; the glass curtain walls reflect the morning sunlight, adding a layer of gorgeous dress to this ancient city.

Weed gradually lowered his altitude, followed the directions, crossed the city center to Surrey, and then found Privet Drive.

Among several rows of identical houses, there is one house decorated in gold and red. There is also a huge lion head inlaid on the wall between the windows on the second floor. It looks vividly as if it will roar at any time.

Wade couldn't help but laugh. He could almost imagine the expressions of the Dursleys when they saw the house.

The peregrine falcon lowered its altitude again and landed in an alley between the houses. Then, a thirteen-year-old boy walked out.

Wade's outfit was nothing special even in an ordinary community. He walked to the front of the unique house and knocked on the door.

Remus came out quickly.

"Good morning, Vader," Remus said cheerfully. "I knew you'd be here soon."

"Good morning, Remus." Wade smiled, "Is Harry here too?"

"not yet……"

Before Remus could finish his words, they both turned their heads at the same time.

"Very good, go ahead—"

In a house not far away, a rude voice shouted loudly:

"You'd better warn those freaks of yours not to visit my house in broad daylight! Or at night! Don't get involved with those evil ways! We are a well-behaved family!"

"Excellent! Why don't you say it yourself?"

Harry shouted, and without waiting for a reply, he quickly ran out of the house and came straight here.

Behind him, Vernon Dursley stood at the door of his house, looking at the people here angrily.

What he had just said was meant for Lupin and Sirius to hear - Vernon was both afraid and disgusted with wizards, and did not dare to talk to them face to face, but he would not pretend to be friendly either.

Their family really didn't want to have anything to do with weird things, but ever since the two wizards moved in, Vernon Dursley was worried that his family would become the talk of others when he walked on the street.

He was disgusted by it.

Harry explained to the Dursleys that Sirius and the others moved here to protect them, but the Dursleys, either unable to understand or unwilling to accept, became even more hostile.

But after yelling, Dursley realized that the person standing there was not only the annoying wizard, but also the child who came to his house last time and threatened to call the police.

Dursley's expression changed slightly, and without saying anything else, he slammed the door.

To the Dursleys, the dark wizards that Harry mentioned seemed like characters in stories, far away from their lives. The police were a real trouble that could arrive at their doorstep in a few minutes.

"Hi, Vader, nice to see you."

Harry seemed quite lively. After saying hello, he asked Lupin, "Is there any breakfast left, Remus?"

"There are sandwiches," said Lupin angrily. "They didn't give you breakfast?"

"Yes." Harry shrugged. "A leaf of lettuce and half a piece of toast. Just enough to keep me from starving to death."

Lupin began to try his luck, and it was obvious that he wanted to curse, but he held back and asked Vader what he wanted to eat.

Naturally, Vader refused.

He didn't ask Harry if he gave the Dursleys living expenses -

According to local laws and social customs, the Dursleys are obliged to raise the underage Harry and Dudley. However, even if Harry and Dudley become adults and work, they do not need to support the Dursleys, let alone provide living expenses.

What's more, Harry is still a minor.

Not to mention the many extra chores he had to take on, from a financial perspective alone, the Dursleys received some tax-free benefits and allowances from the government for adopting Harry, and their schooling was completely free, so there was actually not much additional financial burden.

In this case, it would have sounded strange if Wade had suggested that they give the Dursleys living expenses.

……

It was Kreacher who made breakfast today.

After Wade entered the room, the elf even ran out to bow.

It seemed as if it had been specially dressed up. The pillowcase wrapped around its body was clean, and even the white hair inside its ears was combed meticulously.

"Welcome, Master Grey, and Master Potter... breakfast today is porridge and sandwiches. Would you like some baked potatoes?"

"Anything is fine, come on." Harry muttered, "I'm starving."

"Just give me a cup of black tea, Kreacher," said Wade.

The old elf bowed once more before disappearing with a pop.

Soon, the table was piled with food and Wade's tea was ready.

Sirius came back from outside after Harry had finished breakfast.

He was wearing a black suit and a bow tie, with his slightly long hair tied in a low ponytail. He looked elegant yet a little melancholy.

Sirius still had the portrait of Regulus with him.

"This is his last wish." Sirius said in a low voice, "I want him to witness this scene too."

Lupin patted his shoulder wordlessly.

At the appointed time of eleven o'clock, there was a sudden flash of fire in the room, and then Fox suddenly appeared.

It flapped its wings and grasped Sirius's shoulder with one claw.

"Harry, hold on to Sirius!"

Lupin said as he grabbed Sirius' arm while holding Vader tightly with his other hand.

Harry immediately hugged Sirius's other arm, and Kreacher hugged Sirius's left leg without hesitation.

Sirius, who was hung up, had no choice but to reach out and hold Fox's paw. Seeing that they were all ready, Fox made a soft chirping sound.

There was a sudden flash of fire, and Wade only felt a flash before his eyes, and the surrounding environment changed.

In the dark and damp cave, the boundless lake was still as dark as ever, and traces of the last burning of the Yin corpses remained on the wall.

Harry looked around curiously and asked Wade softly, "Is this the place you came to last time?"

Vader nodded, "We found Regulus here."

Harry had heard about that experience, and felt a slight chill on his scalp when he heard it.

Right where they were standing, there were at least several hundred Yin corpses.

Dumbledore stepped out of the darkness, his silver beard seeming to glow.

He took out the locket and whispered, "It starts here... and ends here."

Chapter 283 Blue and White Fire

Dumbledore did not deliberately pull the boat prepared by Voldemort out of the Black Lake, nor did he place the locket on the stone platform in the center of the lake.

He simply bent over casually and placed Slytherin's locket carelessly on the ground.

If Vader remembered correctly, that was exactly where Regulus, who had turned into an Inferi, was lying last time.

"This is Salazar Slytherin's relic." Dumbledore said with regret: "If possible, I would actually like to keep it."

"What a pity..." Sirius said in a grim voice, "It has been tainted by the filthy soul of the descendants of Salazar Slytherin."

The place where Regulus was buried seemed to bring back many bad memories for him. Sirius looked unfriendly and did not show much respect even in front of Dumbledore.

“Who can predict what will happen a thousand years from now?”

Lupin said gently: "At least when the four founders established Hogwarts, they must have had great and pure ideals. We also studied here and gained a lot here."

His calmness was like warm water, calming the resentment and anger in Sirius' heart.

"Let us stand back for a moment," said Dumbledore. "This is not going to be a very pretty sight."

The few of them retreated to the edge of the cave and saw Dumbledore pointing his wand at the locket on the ground, making a hissing sound.

"Open?" said Harry in surprise.

"Parseltongue?" The two adult wizards were even more shocked.

"I think Dumbledore already mastered the pronunciation of this sentence when Harry opened the Chamber of Secrets last time," Wade explained.

As he spoke, the locket on the ground opened, and an ethereal figure rose from the box, gradually forming the figure of a girl.

"Why are you doing this to me? Why are you trying to kill me? Did I do something wrong?"

Wade and others noticed that Dumbledore's originally calm back suddenly became haggard, and his hand holding the wand was shaking.

Sirius and the others looked at Dumbledore in surprise, then at the girl, not understanding what was going on.

The girl cried in a sobbing voice, her red eyes looked strange and evil, and her face was filled with twisted hatred.

"You know... you did it... you know what you did... you're the same as that man, aren't you, Albus? You and Greg..."

"Split into pieces!"

Without thinking, Vader cast a spell, and the girl's figure was immediately dispersed, but then immediately gathered together again.

This time, she transformed into a blond boy and said in a bewitching voice: "I see your heart, Dumbledore... You really understand what is..."

Before he could finish his words, Dumbledore suddenly swung his wand!

A very ancient spell echoed in the cave, and with a "puff" sound, a blue-white flame suddenly rose up, and in an instant the figure was swept in.

Wade and the others only heard a very short scream - so short that it seemed like an illusion, and the figure disappeared like a popped soap bubble.

As if it had never existed at all.

After a few seconds, the flames finally died down, and Slytherin's locket had completely changed.

The colorful silk lining and the gems on it were burned cleanly, leaving only a ball of golden-red molten iron on the ground, which then slowly turned into a black color.

A strange atmosphere made the young people afraid to speak.

After a moment, Kreacher seemed to finally react and fell to the ground and burst into tears. The shrill cry echoed in the empty cave, making it seem even more terrifying.

Sirius finally came back to his senses. He didn't bother to find out what happened to the figure just now. He just lowered his head to look at the portrait in his arms.

He only saw a piece of clothing.

Regulus walked out of his portrait and went to an unknown place.
