Mastering Thunder from Hogwarts

"Is this Voldemort's last Horcrux?" Sirius circled the stone basin twice and carefully observed the locket, while being careful not to act rashly.

He is very self-aware of himself. Faced with this strange mystery, which is still something left by Voldemort, he doesn't dare to act carelessly. If he fails to help, but instead adds trouble, it will be troublesome.

"Yes, this is Slytherin's locket. Now we have to find a way to get it out." Anduin's eyes flashed with a pale silver light, obviously peering into the secret of the stone basin.

"Any clues?" Sirius was very confident in Anduin. Although the current infiltration environment was very stressful, he was still very calm.

"Judging from the results of the spell analysis, you have to drink all the magic potion in the stone basin to reveal the Horcrux." Anduin pointed to the shell used to scoop water next to the stone basin.

"Can't you just throw the potion out?"

Sirius picked up the shell, scooped up the potion in the basin, and tried to pour it out. However, after scooping five or six spoons of the potion, the potion in the basin did not become less. At the same time, he could not put his hand into the water, use the disappearing spell and transform.

Techniques also have no effect.

"As you can see." Anduin shrugged, "These potions are all enchanted with powerful magic and cannot be reduced except by drinking them."

"Also, I don't know much about the effects of these potions before I try them. After all, I'm not good at potions."

Sirius nodded when he heard this, and then looked at Anduin quietly, thinking that there must be other ways to solve this problem with the other party's methods.

Anduin smiled bitterly, "Don't keep looking at me like that. The magic Voldemort released on the stone basin is much more complicated than the entrance. If you want to use alchemy to crack it, you will waste at least several days of work.

"

"Then why don't you just ask me to drink it?" Sirius rolled his eyes, then scooped up a cup of potion, brought it to his mouth and prepared to drink it.

But at this moment Anduin suddenly stopped him, "Wait a minute, I seem to have thought of a better way."

After saying that, Anduin took out an arbitrary door, opened it and looked inside, then smiled and said, "You're lucky. Although apparation is prohibited here, it has no effect on arbitrary doors. Please wait a moment."

.”

After saying these words, Anduin walked into the door without looking back. After a while, he reappeared dragging a figure.

"This is...Lockhart?" Sirius carefully identified the sudden figure, and after a while he was sure that it was the 'big writer' who often appeared in newspapers some time ago.

But at this moment, Lockhart no longer looked as high-spirited as before. He was wearing a relatively clean and tidy hospital gown, with a haggard face, and a lingering look on his face.

of panic.

"Mr. Wei...Wilson, what else do you want me to do!" Lockhart looked at Anduin with a sad face, pleading, "I have followed everything you ordered, including those weird experiments.

Please just let me go, even if you send me to Azkaban!"

During the days when he was imprisoned by Anduin, Lockhart felt that he had experienced what it meant to have a surprise every day.

Of course, he would rather not experience any of these so-called surprises.

During his days at the Anduin Institute, Lockhart was forced to consume tasteless nutrient solutions every day and became the subject of some weird experiments.

The most important thing is that the person in charge of operating the experiment is not Anduin himself, but that bitch Hogg. He learned hundreds of swear words from that guy, and he was scolded every day and it still didn't matter the same.

"Don't worry." Anduin looked at Lockhart with a kind face, "I brought you here today just to give you such a chance. As long as you finish this thing for me, I will turn around.

Send you to Azkaban."

"Okay! Okay! Okay!" Lockhart nodded immediately after hearing this, as if Anduin would regret it later, "Just tell me, I will do my best to comply with it."

Seeing Lockhart acting like this, Sirius couldn't help but marveled.

Is this guy out of his mind? What Anduin said was that he would be sent to prison. How come he is not only not afraid, but also looks like he is eager for it?

However, neither Anduin nor Lockhart was in the mood to explain all this to Sirius. Anduin just raised his finger and pointed to the stone basin next to him.

"Drink up all these potions."

When Lockhart heard this, he didn't even have time to observe the surrounding environment, let alone ask what kind of potion it was. He immediately rushed to the stone basin, grabbed the shell, scooped up the potion, and put it into his mouth.

Those who didn’t know thought it was some kind of delicious food.

But as soon as he took a sip, he was lying on the stone basin in pain, with veins popping out on his face, and he also showed a look of fear.

"So... so hot! I feel like my insides are burning!" Lockhart felt like he was going to burn at any moment, and he was sweating profusely.

At the same time, many terrifying scenes appeared in front of him, including evil spirits with ferocious faces and evil dragons with their bloody mouths open. They seemed to be about to pounce on him at any time.

"Drink them all, or you'll know what's going to happen to you!"

Just when Lockhart felt that he couldn't bear it any longer and was about to faint, a whisper that sounded like a devil suddenly came to his ears.

When he heard Anduin's words, Lockhart suddenly became excited and suddenly woke up.

Obviously in his mind, everything he felt at this time was not even one ten thousandth as terrifying as Anduin.

Immediately, Lockhart seemed to have a stress reaction. He endured the severe pain all over his body and drank up the potion in the stone basin one mouthful at a time.

Seeing this scene, Sirius trembled all over. How strong is this guy's willpower? His face was so blue that he could still hold on?

The moment he finally drank the potion, Lockhart couldn't bear it anymore and fell to the ground in pain, rolling around and scratching his throat.

"Water! Water! I want water! I'm going to die of thirst soon!"

Sirius couldn't bear to see this. After taking out the locket from the stone basin, he immediately cast a spell to turn it into a basin of clear water, and helped Lockhart lean against the edge of the basin.

But even though Lockhart tried his best to scoop out the water, and finally even buried his face in the basin, the clear water was like the moon in the flowers in the mirror, completely out of reach.

Finally, Lockhart couldn't bear it anymore and threw himself into the lake nearby, as if that was his hope of survival.

But just as he jumped into the air, Anduin grabbed his belt with one hand, stopping his forward movement.

"Anduin, just give him some water, he is so pitiful." After seeing Anduin's behavior, Sirius advised with some heartache.

"No, I discovered on the way here that this lake has also been enchanted by black magic. Once the lake is disturbed, it will trigger the trap set by Voldemort. As expected, it should be the Inferi under the water, although I am not afraid

They, but there’s no need to make it too troublesome.”

Anduin shook his head decisively. He didn't like accidents, especially accidents that could be prevented in advance.

"Then what should he do?" Sirius looked at poor Lockhart, "He looks like he is about to die of thirst."

"Go back where you came from." Anduin threw Lockhart to any door, and at the same time pulled Sirius in with him.

But in a cave, the magic that could turn liquids into illusions disappeared. Sirius could easily create a pool of clear water, and Lockhart's condition gradually stabilized.

"Mr. Wilson, I have followed your instructions one by one, then..." After Lockhart recovered, he did not even thank Sirius for helping him, but looked at Anduin with burning eyes.

"Don't worry, I keep my word. I'll ask people from the Ministry of Magic to borrow you later, but..."

In the middle of speaking, Anduin's expression suddenly became strange, and at the same time he leaned into Lockhart's ear and whispered.

"After entering Azkaban, you have to do me one last favor..."

His voice became lower and lower, and Lockhart showed an expression of astonishment after hearing everything he said.

"You? Me? Them?" Lockhart pointed to himself incoherently, "Can I really do this kind of thing by myself? Or in a place like that?"

"I believe you!" Anduin smiled and squeezed Lockhart's shoulders, using his fingertips to exert a little force. "And if you can't do it, you have to do it. You know me. I can save you from Azka at any time."

Ban will get it out."

Anduin's threatening words made Lockhart, who had just emerged from the pain, break into a cold sweat again.

"Of course, if you can complete the task I gave you." Anduin knew not to push too hard, but also had to offer some benefits. "Maybe I can find a way to help you get away with it, or at least reduce your guilt."

If your sentence is reduced, you don’t want to stay in jail for the rest of your life.”

"Ah?" Lockhart grimaced, "With the crimes I committed before, I won't be imprisoned for the rest of my life, right?"

"I said I would, and you will!" Anduin glared at him coldly.

"That's...okay!" Lockhart struggled for a long time before finally agreeing.

He has long been desperate, and now he can only hope that Anduin can keep his word. At least in the past contacts, the other party has shown great integrity.

Of course, it's the kind of credibility that says I'll kill your whole family, I'll kill your whole family.

After finishing his conversation with Lockhart, Anduin sent him to rest, at least to let him recover some of his energy, otherwise it would be unreasonable to see him in this state when the people from the Ministry of Magic came over.

"What did you just say to him?" Sirius looked at Anduin curiously, "Why does Lockhart look like he is about to die heroically?"

"Secret..." Anduin grinned, "I'm sorry, this matter has to be kept secret from everyone for the time being. It won't surprise you."

"Okay." Sirius asked casually. He still trusted Anduin 100%.

"By the way, give me the locket quickly. Voldemort's Horcruxes contain powerful black magic and can interfere with the wizard's thoughts. Don't be controlled by him soon."

Anduin suddenly thought of something and quickly looked at the locket in Sirius' hand.

"Dark magic? Why don't I feel it at all? This seems to be an ordinary metal box." Sirius muttered as he handed over the locket in his hand.

"With Voldemort's ability, he can naturally make you not notice the slightest sense of violation."

Anduin explained casually, but after taking the locket, he couldn't help but frown slightly.

"Huh? I really can't feel the breath of black magic? Is this Horcrux more sophisticated than other Horcruxes? No, this is obviously Voldemort's third Horcrux. The Ravenclaw Diadem he made last time...

You can all tell something is wrong."

Anduin was secretly surprised, and then hesitantly opened the locket.

"Huh? Why is there a note in here? Is this note the Horcrux of Voldemort?" Sirius was watching like a curious baby. He couldn't help but wait until he saw the objects in the locket clearly.

interjected.

"No, this locket is not a Horcrux at all." After opening the locket, Anduin confirmed his suspicion. This thing was not even an alchemy tool, let alone a Horcrux.

"It's not a Horcrux? Have you been deceived? Who told you where Voldemort hid the Horcrux?" Sirius' face changed after hearing this. This is not good news.

"Impossible, this location is absolutely true." Anduin shook his head decisively. This was Voldemort's memory. He couldn't lie to himself, could he?

"Don't worry about it for now. Let's take a look at what's written on the note." Anduin said and opened the note left in the locket.

To the Dark Lord:

I'll be dead before you read this.

But I want you to know that I discovered your secret.

I stole the real Horcrux and planned to destroy it as soon as possible.

I am willing to die in the hope that you will be killed when you meet your opponent.——.b.

"It seems that someone got there before us..." Anduin raised his eyebrows in surprise, "But who is this...b.? He actually knows the secret of Voldemort's Horcrux."

After thinking about it carefully, Anduin still had no clue, but when he raised his head, what he saw was a stunned Sirius.

At this moment, Sirius's eyes fell directly on the note in his hand.

"What? Do you know this.b.?" Anduin could tell that something was wrong with Sirius and asked quickly.

".b...." Sirius closed his eyes in pain, ".b. is the abbreviation of my brother Regulus. He has called himself that since he was very young. On his door,

You can find similar words in textbooks.”

"Your brother?" Anduin was surprised when he heard this, and then looked at the content on the note again.

In other words, if this note was really left by Sirius' brother, wouldn't it mean that the other person is no longer alive?
