Hogwarts: What are the four great masters doing?

"Perhaps there is some way for it to contact Regulus, or the Black family has some magic that can sense its location... So when Kreacher took the potion and was about to die, Regulus came to rescue him and took the locket, but Regulus himself was unable to get out?"

Ryan guessed casually.

But obviously, there are a lot of things that don't make sense.

For example, why was it Regulus who died in the end instead of Kreacher? For example, if it was Regulus who saved Kreacher, then how did he get through so many traps before?

"Maybe he has other companions... but that doesn't make sense. If he had other wizard companions, they would always try to save Regulus, right?"

But no matter what, Ryan felt that one thing was certain.

That is...

"The house-elf Kreacher must be an insider—he definitely knows the whereabouts of the locket, and there's a high probability he's not dead!"

The fact that Kreacher's body was not found here is enough to prove this.

Then comes the problem.

If Kreacher is really the elf of the Black family and is not dead.

So where is he now?

"The old Black house..."

Dumbledore also came to a conclusion: "I have heard of its location. There are many spells set there, and it is difficult to find..."

"Unless it's the heir to the family."

Ryan had obviously guessed what Dumbledore wanted to say.

That's right.

As a house-elf, Kreacher could only go back to serve the members of the Black family if the Black family was still alive.

He must be at the Black family's ancestral home.

Coincidentally, there really is a Black active in the wizarding world today.

"...I'll go find Harry."

Ryan said softly.

"I assured him that he would be willing to show me where his godfather lived."

Chapter 195: Meet Sirius, family!

In fact, when Ryan found Harry.

The latter was also worried about Filch's experience and was wandering around the Owlery, as if trying to contact someone.

so...

"Contact Sirius, Harry—I need to see him."

When Ryan said this to Harry, Harry's legs almost went weak on the spot.

"Wha...what?"

But he reacted quickly and pretended to be unaware.

Ryan looked at him helplessly and said, "Has anyone ever told you that you are not a good liar?"

"Come on, I know you've met him and have been in contact with him recently. Dumbledore told me a long time ago that he would be hiding in his old house or near the school... I heard from Ron that you often sneaked into Hogsmeade through the secret passage recently. Is that to see him?"

Having said that, Harry seemed unwilling to admit it.

Ryan was also helpless and delivered a crucial blow: "I was there that time in Knockturn Alley - remember? Do you think I'm that slow? I didn't even ask you how you left Knockturn Alley."

"Okay, Harry... write to him quickly and tell him to tell me the address of the old house. This is Dumbledore's opinion and is related to destroying the secret of Voldemort's immortality - it is very important."

Ryan's expression grew serious. "And—we found the body of his brother, Mr. Regulus."

"..."

Hearing this, Harry immediately realized that Ryan did not seem to want to capture Sirius.

Without his knowledge, Ryan and Dumbledore seemed to have discovered many extremely valuable and crucial things.

So, Harry no longer hesitated.

He immediately called Hedwig over, picked up a letter that seemed to have been written a long time ago, and added something to it.

Hedwig was then released.

Then, Harry turned to look at Ryan and asked seriously, "The secret of Voldemort's immortality... Have you found the diary again?"

he asked.

That's right.

Although Dumbledore and Ryan had already determined long ago that the secret of Voldemort's immortality came from the special dark magic of the Horcrux.

But obviously.

The existence of this magic is not something that can be publicly announced.

Especially for Harry - Ryan and Dumbledore knew that Harry himself was one of Voldemort's Horcruxes.

So naturally, he would not tell Harry the details of the Horcrux.

So all along, Harry only knew that Voldemort was not dead, and vaguely heard Ryan mention that Voldemort's immortality was related to the diary that controlled Ron last year.

So now, he asked this question.

"more or less."

In response to Harry's question, Ryan naturally chatted casually for a few words and didn't say anything else.

But Harry was looking forward to it - he didn't know what Ryan and Dumbledore had discovered.

But as long as Voldemort can be killed completely, he is willing to pay any price.

"And—you said Sirius's brother... I heard that Sirius said he was a bastard and joined the Death Eaters?"

But then, Harry asked out of curiosity.

"Sirius has told you quite a bit – how many times have you met?"

But Ryan did not answer directly, but asked in return.

“Many times…”

Hearing this, Harry said a little embarrassedly.

"He often comes to Hogsmeade, you know—his Animagus... He wants to find Peter Pettigrew, I heard things in the past..."

He said so.

That's right.

In fact, as Ryan said, Harry had often sneaked into Hogsmeade since the beginning of this semester.

This is not surprising, after all, Harry is an expert in the secret passages of Hogwarts and knows the secret passage leading to Honeydukes very well.

Ron and the people in the dormitory just thought that Harry was addicted to eating candy recently, or that he was imitating Dumbledore and Ryan - yes, the sweet tooth of these two wizards, one old and one young, was well known.

In fact, there is a rumor in the magic world that "people who love sweets will become magic masters and geniuses."

But in fact, Harry went to Hogsmeade almost exclusively to meet Sirius, who would transform into a black dog and wait in a corner of Hogsmeade.

And in the process of getting along with Sirius, Harry naturally learned a lot of things.

For example, the truth about his parents' death in the past, that Sirius was his godfather, and his parents' past.

This brought him a lot of benefits.

As for Regulus Black, Sirius also told Harry about him when Harry asked him, "Sirius, your family members."

"He was a bastard – cute as a kid, but he grew up to be just like everyone else... Pureblood, pureblood, pureblood... pathetic words. He even ended up working for the Dark Lord."

Harry could see that Sirius was not without feelings for his only brother, but he just couldn't let go of what happened to Voldemort.

So at this moment, when he heard Ryan say that he and Dumbledore had found Regulus's body, he reacted so decisively.

"Yeah – he was a Death Eater."

Ryan, who already knew the news, nodded: "But he is also the one who turned back from his mistakes."

"Return from the lost path?"

Hearing this, Harry frowned in confusion.

"Yes—he sacrificed his life to discover and destroy the secret of Voldemort's immortality... He was a hero, at least in his death."

Even Ryan acknowledged this.

After hearing this, Harry was also stunned.

Of course he wouldn't doubt Ryan's words.

He just suddenly thought of Sirius.

Knowing that his brother finally came to his senses, gave up his identity as a Death Eater, embraced light and justice, and finally sacrificed bravely - would he be happy?

"of course not."

Harry jumped to conclusions.

"He's lost his loved ones again, completely lost."

Harry began to worry.

And this is indeed the case.

In just less than a day, Harry soon received a reply from Sirius.

The content of the letter is simple.

"Friday night, Hogsmeade, the usual place—bring him over, Harry."

Such a simple sentence was not the style of Sirius' previous letters to Harry.

Harry could almost smell the suppressed pain and sorrow in Sirius' words.

But he still knew that the matter was of great importance, so he quickly informed Ryan of the situation.
