Hogwarts Life Guide

Chapter 259 Doubts about the locket

Fudge's face did not affect the pursuit of the Aurors. They found Little Hangleton based on the clues in the Floo Network. That was the name of a village. The transmission point of the Floo Network was at an old house on the hillside next to the village. middle.

When the Aurors arrived, the building was already deserted.

Their investigation found that the villagers called the old house Riddle House, and there was a body buried in the garden of the old house that had been dead for more than half a year.

Riddle House!

Tangning was shocked when she heard this surname.

However, to Tangning's expectation, not many people knew that Voldemort's real name was Tom Riddle, including cousin Tonks.

……

Tangning hurriedly took out the "Pure Blood Guide" that Kreacher had given him in second grade, and immediately turned to the page where the class introduced the Gaunt family - where he had made a mark.

The Gaunt family is a descendant of Slytherin. At first, he suspected that the person who opened the Chamber of Secrets was from the Gaunt family.

In the blank space of the first page, Tangning also saw the notes she had left: It was published in the newspaper many years ago that the only descendant of the Gaunt family admitted to brutally killing the Muggle Riddle family, and the Wizengamot sentenced him to Azka. class.

Long-standing memories reappeared in his mind, and he guessed at that time that Voldemort was probably a descendant of these two families.

Now, Tangning saw the address of the Gunter family introduced in the book - Great Hangleton.He would never believe it if he said it had nothing to do with Little Hangleton.

In other words, Bellatrix and Voldemort had already gotten together.With loyal and capable men at his disposal, it's hard to say whether Voldemort has truly been resurrected.

Now that I think about it, there is a reason why Tom Riddle is not famous. If you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to find that with the blessing of being a descendant of Slytherin, being mixed-blood is not a big deal.

This can explain why Dumbledore, who knew Voldemort's origin, did not publicize his mixed-race origin to combat Voldemort.

Of course, the information already in her mind was not enough to make Tangning pull out the "Pureblood Guide" so eagerly. There was another thing.

Tangning successfully used the speculum to detect Bella's malice towards him. Afterwards, he recalled its abnormal behavior when he first got the speculum. This time, he did not ignore it.

After rummaging through her belongings, Tangning found several items that might cause problems, the most conspicuous of which was a locket.This was after last Christmas when Sirius took Tangning and the others to visit the Black family. At that time, Kreacher inexplicably gave the locket to Tangning, only saying that it was left by Regulus.

He once again looked through the contents of the Gaunt family in the "Pure Blood Guide" - the Gaunt family inherited many of Slytherin's relics... Slytherin kept this locket close to his body during his lifetime...

Until this point, Tangning compared the description of the locket in the book with the description on the table, and they matched perfectly!

The locket most likely came from Voldemort!

"Why didn't I think of that before?" Tangning was a little annoyed. He remembered that Harry once said that Voldemort's diary was secretly given to Ginny by Lucius Malfoy - Lucius definitely didn't know that it was a Horcrux. But at least I knew it was something that could represent Voldemort.

Regulus was an admirer of Voldemort and a staunch Death Eater, and he was also from a noble family.So, will he, like Lucius, save a Horcrux for Voldemort?

Thinking of this, Tang Ning suddenly felt that the locket in her hand was a little hot to the touch.

Find Kreacher and find out the origin of the locket!

After identifying the target, Tang Ning was usually very active. He wanted to find an opportunity to take leave and go home to ask in person.It had better be, because neither the rest of the Tonks family nor Sirius was as close to him as he was to Kreacher.

Besides that, he wanted to go to the Lestrange family's old house as soon as possible.After learning about Rodolphus's letter, Mrs. Tonks did not stop Tangning, but she originally planned to wait until the holidays.

Tangning wrote to Cousin Tonks for help while writing to Professor McGonagall to ask for leave.

"You want to leave school? Mr. Lestrange, you'd better give me a justifiable reason!" Professor McGonagall looked shocked as always. It was obvious that if Tangning couldn't convince her, she wouldn't even think about asking for leave.

"Professor McGonagall, I believe you must have heard the letter Rodolphus Lestrange wrote to me. He wanted me to go to the Lestrange family's old house. I believe he would not do this for no reason. Do...after Bellatrix's identity is revealed,"

Professor McGonagall's expression softened: "So, does your guardian know that you are going to take leave?"

"I know!" He added silently in his heart. He probably only found out from Nido now...

"I can approve your leave, but you can't leave school alone!"

Without even waiting for the weekend, cousin Tonks showed up at Hogwarts the next morning—siblings were of the same blood, whether it was mobility or occasional unreliability.

Hermione was the first to know about Tangning's actions, and Tangning never hid it from her. So Miss Granger's biggest regret was that she had no reason to ask for leave...

Harry only found out about Tangning's itinerary after Tonks arrived, one night later than Jeffrey and Andrew.He was full of resentment towards Tangning for not taking him on the adventure. After the Black Lake, Harry got over the shadow of broken love, at least on the surface.

"Be careful!" Hermione emphasized before leaving.

Tangning waved her hand coolly, but Hermione, who was so thin-skinned, couldn't even give her a farewell hug, let alone a farewell kiss, in public.

……

Tangning and cousin Tonks headed straight to No. 12 Grimmauld Place, where Sirius and Tonks were already waiting. They planned to go to the Lestrange family's old house together at noon.

Before Tangning arrived, Sirius tried to ask Kreacher about the origin of the locket, but Kreacher completely forgot about the existence of the locket and was unable to answer any question.

It wasn't until Tangning took out the locket in front of him that the memories hidden in Kreacher's mind began to revive.

"You told me that the locket was left behind by Regulus. Can you tell me its specific origin?"

After hearing this, Kreacher collapsed on the ground holding his head. A few seconds later, he collapsed on the ground, crying, and kept banging his head on the floor. He kept muttering in his mouth - "It's all Klee." Wrong cut..."

In the past, Tangning would have stopped asking, but now, he could only remain cruel to the end.

"Kreacher, don't move!"

Kreacher's body was trembling, his forehead pressed to the floor. He had indeed stopped hurting himself.

"Kreacher, sit up and tell me everything you know about this box, and everything about Regulus and it!"

Seeing that Kreacher was about to get sick again, Tangning continued to order: "Don't think wildly, tell me everything you know and see!"

His attempt worked, and Kreacher sat up, curled up into a ball, put his tear-stained face between his knees, and spoke in a hushed tone the memory deep in his mind.
