duel day at hogwarts

The morning sun rises.

Dumbledore finally arrived at the Order of the Phoenix headquarters at 12 Grimmauld Place.

"Oh, Dumbledore, you are finally here."

"Molly, thank you for taking care of everyone's food and daily life. Please take me to Regulus' place."

Molly pursed her lips and wanted to say something, but in the end she couldn't. She nodded and took Dumbledore directly to the basement of the house, where Regulus' body was placed.

.

Arriving in the basement, he looked at the body placed on the table, as well as Sirius and Kreacher waiting nearby, and then turned to look at some kind of alchemy array arranged on the ground surrounding the table where Regulus' body was.

Sean, Dumbledore coughed slightly and said: "Is this Regulus?"

Sean, who was setting up the alchemy array, waved his hand to Dumbledore as a greeting. Without getting up, he continued to set up the alchemy array to purify the body of Regulus who was turned into an Inferi. Kreacher was currently in addition to Xiao Xiao.

Besides having a very nice and approachable attitude, he seemed to be indifferent to everyone else. Only Sirius stood up and greeted Dumbledore.

"Dumbledore, you are here, this is my brother, Regulus."

Hearing Sirius call Regulus his younger brother, Kreacher looked up at him and cooed silently. Obviously he had some objections to Sirius's words, but because Sirius was currently the heir to the Black family,

As a person, he really couldn't really say those words.

"I heard what Moody told me in the fireplace. Regulus is a true unsung hero, a hero who has been misunderstood by us for many years. He silently protected many people and indirectly defeated Voldemort.

A conspiracy, you have a very upright and selfless brother, Sirius."

Sirius's eye circles turned red again.

In the past, Sirius had criticized Regulus a lot. In his opinion, this younger brother served Voldemort, but died in an unknown manner. He missed and grieved in his heart, but he said:

Even in the deepest part of his heart, Sirius still hoped that Regulus might be alive, just like those Death Eaters, secretly looking forward to Voldemort's return.

Now that he saw Regulus's body and learned that he calmly died in order to thwart Voldemort's conspiracy when he was seventeen years old, Sirius was finally defeated in his psychological defense.

"call……"

After finishing the last stroke, Sean stood up, looked at Kreacher and Sirius, and said: "Kreacher, Sirius, you two step back, I am going to start purification."

Although they were reluctant to leave, both Kreacher and Sirius knew that if they wanted to let Regulus rest in peace, his body must be purified, otherwise Regulus, as an Inferi, would not be able to rest in peace.

Kreacher and Sirius retreated outside the alchemy array. Sean stood outside and waved his wand. The alchemy array immediately activated and emitted a dull white light. Under this white light, Regulus's body suddenly twitched.

Get up, this is the instinct of the Inferi, wanting to escape from the purification of the alchemy array.

Seeing Regulus' body twitching, Kreacher subconsciously wanted to check on Regulus, but was caught by Sean.

"Kreacher, you should know that Regulus can't come back. The current purification is a good thing for Regulus."

"Kreacher understands, Kreacher just... Kreacher understands..."

As Regulus' body stopped twitching, he was completely purified and turned into an ordinary corpse. In order to prevent the body from decaying, Sean waved his wand again and froze Regulus' body, and then

Sean turned to look at Sirius and Kreacher and said, "You can find a time to bury Regulus."

Holding Sean's hand, Kreacher sobbed and said: "Kreacher is very grateful to Master Sean. Kreacher will repay Master Sean..."

"It's just a piece of cake, Kreacher. What's more, we made an agreement before. You give me the locket and I'll bring Regulus back for you, so you don't need to thank me for anything extra."

"Kreacher will thank Master Sean, he will definitely."

Seeing the stubborn Kreacher, Sean said nothing more. He nodded to Kreacher and said, "Okay, then I look forward to your thanks."

After hearing this, Kreacher let go of Sean's hand and returned to Regulus' side again.

At this time, Sirius walked up to Sean and said seriously: "Sean, if it weren't for you, Regulus might still be an inferi in that cave. I... I am really grateful to you.

I don’t know how to repay you, but as long as you need it, I will do my best to repay you.”

"If necessary, I will not give up this opportunity... Let's say goodbye to Regulus for the last time. Professor Dumbledore has something to say to me, and we will leave first."

"OK."

Looking at Sirius who turned back to Regulus, Sean and Dumbledore left the basement together and came to a study with a lot of dust. Sean shook his wand and wiped out the dust in the room.

After cleaning up, he and Dumbledore sat in the study.

"Sean, first of all, I am very happy that you can clear up Regulus's name. He is a true unsung hero."

"Maybe, but it's a pity that Regulus gave up his life at such a young age. He was not even eighteen when he died. His teachers and parents should feel ashamed, because this should have been

The responsibilities they need to bear are instead borne by a minor child."

"I express regret and shame for this."

"I'm not talking about you, Professor Dumbledore. I just want to say that as Regulus's family, those in the Black family, including Sirius, are not qualified."

Dumbledore nodded slightly, remained silent for a moment, and said, "Sean, is Slytherin's locket at your place?"

Sean knew that Slytherin's locket was an unavoidable problem. When he and Kreacher brought Regulus' body back but was discovered, Sean knew that he would have to solve this problem sooner or later.

face.

"Yes, Slytherin's locket is indeed with me, and not only Slytherin's locket, Ravenclaw's diadem, and Marvolo Gaunt's ring are also with me.

Here, together with Tom Riddle’s diary, four of Voldemort’s Horcruxes have been found so far!”
