Ancient Warlocks at Hogwarts

Chapter 82 Returning

"Finding what you really want to protect, whether it's a happy memory or a person, will help you successfully summon a physical patron saint, because that is the core strength that constitutes a patron saint."

While the headmaster of Hogwarts was still explaining spells to his students, Sirius beside him had already taken off his hospital gown and dived into the cold lake water.

Andre thought quietly for a while. Of course he could understand what Dumbledore meant, but he didn't know if there was such a person or thing deep in his heart that would make him feel that he had to go. Protected.

Maybe he will find the answer in the future, but at least for now, this is still an unsolved question.

After a while, Sirius emerged from the water. Without the obstruction of the Inferi, it was not difficult for him to find Regulus's body.

After all, apart from the undead army carefully prepared by Voldemort, the only one who had been here and died in the lake was probably Regulus.

Just because too much time passed and the corrosion of the lake water, all that was left of Regulus's body was a set of white bones. The only thing that could identify his identity was the bones inside his rotten clothes. A Black family crest.

Sirius held the skeleton very carefully and returned to the island. He seemed to be afraid that if he moved too much, he would accidentally break his brother's bones.

"Have you thought about where you want to bury Regulus?" Dumbledore's expression was a little sad, and he hesitated for a while before asking Sirius.

Sirius replied without thinking: "Of course it is the Black family cemetery. Regulus has always been proud of his bloodline. Although I have never agreed with his idea, I feel that now I should respect him." His own choice. No matter what, his sacrifice was noble."

"Of course, of course." Dumbledore nodded heavily, but he immediately added: "But the Black family cemetery is in the eastern suburbs of London. I remember that the cemeteries of the Malfoy and Lestrange families are also there. , we have talked before, Regulus’s matter must be hidden for a while.”

Sirius was obviously stunned. He had indeed forgotten about this incident just now. Finding his brother's body was both a comfort and a blow to him.

"Perhaps we can place Regulus's remains at No. 12 Grimmauld Place first. After Voldemort is completely defeated, we can hold a funeral for the hero behind the scenes. At that time, we can also pay tribute to Regulus. Please clear your name." Seeing Sirius's face struggling, Andre suggested.

Dumbledore sighed and said: "I'm sorry, Sirius, but the Horcrux is very important, and we can't let Voldemort know any clues, so for the time being, we can only wrong Regulus and do as Andre said. .”

Sirius finally nodded silently. After fighting against Voldemort for half his life, his best friend was still killed by the dark lord himself. In order to completely eliminate this enemy, even if he couldn't bear it, he could only choose to accept it.

"You should think so, Sirius. Regulus sacrificed himself to deal with Voldemort. He would never want to expose this matter before Voldemort was defeated." Andre could see that this capable man The tough guy who endured Azkaban was still a little down, so he could only console him.

"Yeah, you're right." Heaving a sigh of relief, Sirius finally cheered up a little. He forced a smile and said, "Don't worry, I can't figure this out. Now, I I think we should go back."

Dumbledore said: "Yes, but before leaving, we have to restore the original appearance of this place."

Then, with the wave of the Elder Wand, all the Inferi piled up on the island fell back into the lake like dumplings.

The big hole created by Andre's transformation technique also returned to its original shape after several clay puppets lifted the magic.

The first place they returned to was of course Grimmauld Place. In that cave, except for the house elves, even Dumbledore couldn't use Apparition, so they could only use Kreacher's magic to get out of there quickly.

By the time Sirius had placed Regulus' remains in the house, it was already past eleven o'clock at night, and he had to send Harry back to Privet Drive. At this hour, Andre could imagine Harry coming to the door. What would be the attitude of that uncle?

But with Sirius's way of dealing with things, Vernon probably wouldn't dare to get angry in front of him, but Harry probably wouldn't have a good time in the next month.

It is also worth mentioning that after they recovered Regulus's body, Kreacher's face completely changed. He no longer treated several people with a cross nose and a straight eye, which of course included the young master he originally called a prodigal son.

It's just that Sirius didn't care at all about the house elf's transformation. He probably had enough of the other person's attitude when he was young.

"Then, it's time for us to return to Hogwarts." After Harry and the others apparated away, Dumbledore smiled gently at Kreacher, and then said to Andre.

Grasping the old man's somewhat thin arm, a familiar sense of oppression followed.

Andre, who has experienced Apparition many times, has long been accustomed to the discomfort caused by this magic. When he landed, he was still thinking about whether to ask Sophia to teach him this spell during the holidays this year. After all, it is possible to not Apparate. A lot of inconvenience.

After shaking his head slightly to get rid of the dizziness caused by teleportation, what caught Andre's eyes was not the iconic castle of Hogwarts, but the Pig's Head Bar.

"I thought about it, and I still think it's time to have a glass of butterbeer." There was a smile in Mr. Principal's eyes. It seemed that he had already known about the new alchemy school opened by Andre and Hogsmeade. What is the relationship between the stores?

That's right, Sophia's shop is located next to the Pig's Head Bar, and the bar owner Aberforth is Dumbledore's brother. Although the two have always been at odds because of their sister, the headmaster will definitely pay attention to it secretly.

"But I have some issues with the bartender in this bar, and I have to ask you to help me go in and buy me a drink." Dumbledore continued.

Of course Andre would not refuse. He saluted the principal gratefully and walked to the bar.

Surprisingly, the business here tonight is pretty good, and many wizards are drinking enthusiastically here.

"Please give me a glass of butterbeer." Not realizing that he knew any of the guests, Andre walked straight to the bar, where Aberforth was wiping the wine glass with a dark rag.
