Crossing into Regulus

It can be seen that Malfoy Manor has experienced damage. The roses now are all newly planted, the road has been re-paved so there is no wear and tear, and the layout has also been slightly changed.Harry remembered that there had been a statue where he had just looked, and now it was a flowerbed.

He looked around the courtyard slowly, not looking at Draco, it was because Draco was too serious.Although his serious attitude showed that he valued his conjecture, it still made him a little breathless.

They didn't go to see the Malfoys, Draco just sent the house-elf to tell his parents that he and Harry had something to talk about and that they wouldn't have to wait for dinner.

Harry followed Draco all the way to a small study.

It's the cubicle in Draco's room.

Draco sat down at the small round table by the window after the house elf delivered the tea, and gestured to Harry who was standing there, "Now you can talk about your conjectures as much as you want."

Harry was not polite to him either, he held back for a long time, "I suspect Rael is a soul fragment."

Draco gritted his teeth and maintained his expression. He really knew the Savior well enough, and his thoughts were always so naive and bold, "...Are you trying to say that Regulus is a Horcrux?"

Harry nodded, having contained Voldemort's soul fragment himself, and Nagini.It should come as no surprise that Horcruxes can also be living things.

"Even if Regulus used to be a Horcrux, it's impossible for a piece of soul to dominate the body's activities. The main body is still Regulus, right? This can't explain his inconsistent words and deeds." Draco Point out the problem.

Harry was dumbfounded, he thought Draco was right, but, "Then how do you explain Rael's change? Is it possible that Rael is not a fragment, he entered Regulus' body as a complete soul?" There are still some things he didn't say. The telepathic communication between Nagini and Voldemort also existed between him and Rael. He suspected that he also had Rael's soul fragments in his body.This can probably support his guess.But this raises a new question. If Rael is a whole soul, how did he manage to enter other people's bodies?And who is the price of his split?And can a creature be a horcrux for two souls?

"Why do you think that? If you're thinking Regulus is inconsistent because it's two souls, I haven't heard of a way to have two souls in one body, I mean long term Yes." Draco finally added, they both thought of Professor Quirrell at the same time, at least Rael didn't have any trauma caused by carrying two souls, on the contrary, he was so strong that he couldn't say anything.

There was a moment of silence in the study.

"Banning technique!"

Harry had a flash of inspiration, "It's the banning technique!" He stood up and walked around excitedly, waving his hands in the air, "It's the one who saved Rael, no, I mean, Rael It's the one who cast the banning spell, he didn't save Rael, but sealed Rael's body and used him as an inorganic thing to contain his soul! Higher magic, no sound, no wand, yes, I think what I think That's right, the Rael we knew was never Regulus! Thinking about it now, Regulus was just a student from an ordinary wizarding family, he hadn't graduated yet, how could there be so many of us know the magic..."

"What is inorganic matter?" Draco asked slowly.

Harry froze for a moment, "Uh, it's just inanimate things." After being interrupted by Draco, Harry finally calmed down a little.

Draco was satisfied with Harry's recovery, he really didn't know about inorganic substances but he could guess the general meaning from the words, so he mainly hoped that Harry would not be so fanatical, "Now you have a new guess, 'Reculus was banned and made into a puppet, so it can hold another soul', am I right?"

"...Yes." Harry thought Draco was right but always thought it sounded evil, and he didn't want Rael to be an evil person.

"That's too evil," Draco commented mercilessly.

Harry sat back silently.

"I'm just talking about your conjecture." Draco sneered at Harry. "Can't you be a little confident? Do you really think Regulus is an evil man?" Especially after he sacrificed himself to save so many after people.

"Of course not." Harry said, he tilted his head to look at Draco, "There is something wrong with your description."

Draco took a leisurely sip from his teacup.

"According to my guess, it can be explained that the intern came to lift the ban and heal Regulus now. It should be that Rael broke away from Regulus' body, and she just came to deal with the aftermath." Haha Leigh nodded, Rael couldn't be a bad guy, he still remembered to take care of Regulus.

"That makes sense." Draco nodded, but he added, "But it's all your guesswork."

Harry opened his mouth and had nothing to say. He guessed this way because he and Rael had lived together for so many years and some of Rael's inadvertent words. If he had to explain it to Draco, it was true. There is nothing that can be used as evidence.

Draco smiled, not too mockingly, he leaned back in the chair, crossed his hands in his lap, which was a casual gesture, "I won't tell anyone, you can rest assured. "

Harry was a little frustrated, "Oh." Draco would help him keep the secret, partly because it related to Rael, and partly because he didn't really believe what he said.

"Are you going to the party over there now?" Draco reminded Harry, with a rare display of kindness. "Forget about our conversation today. I understand your disappointment. It's a shame Regulus has forgotten you." People are uncomfortable, but you can't say that he is not him because of this."

Harry gave Draco a complicated look.

Draco coughed, and his expression became arrogant again, "I'm just tactfully dismissing the guests."

By the time Harry went to Sirius' house, the party was almost over, and only Hermione and Ron Lupine were left to help clean up.

He was spotted by Hermione as soon as he entered the foyer, who had a look of undisguised surprise, and rushed to hug Harry, forgetting about the leftover dish in his hand.

Harry hurriedly directed the plates to float away, and then caught Hermione's hug.

"I thought you weren't coming," Hermione whispered in Harry's ear.

"Sorry to worry you," Harry answered her briskly.

"Harry, you came just in time. You missed the party but just in time to help us clean up, hahaha~" Ron laughed while standing on the shelf picking balloons.

Harry shrugged and walked in and rolled up his sleeves.

"Your dinner is in the kitchen," said Lupine mildly.

"Aren't you going to see Rael?" Hermione walked to the kitchen with Harry on her arm.

Harry paused in his smile, "Well, I'll go see him first." He turned and walked up the stairs.

Regulus was lying on the bed.

Sirius held him back from getting up to help and ordered Kreacher to watch him.

Regulus expressed his helplessness.

Sirius stood beside the bed with his hips on his hips, "You haven't fully recovered yet."

"I don't have any discomfort." Regulus was a little moved. For him, the last meeting with Sirius was at that dark moment. He watched his brother and mother quarrel and rushed out of the room. His family turned to the Order of the Phoenix, which was almost regarded as a farewell by him. Later, he decided to replace the Horcrux and Sirius was also related to a certain extent. It is one thing to be willing to die for the justice and light in his heart. , he had nothing to worry about at that time.

Regulus was really happy to see Sirius alive and kicking when he opened his eyes again.Not to mention that the relationship between Sirius and him has eased a lot now.In the past, it was only him who silently worshiped his brother unilaterally, but now Sirius can care about him so much, it can be said to be flattering.

Harry stood at the door and knocked on the frame.

Sirius and Regulus looked at him together.

Kreacher saluted Harry, "Master Potter."

Harry waved his hand into the air uncomfortably, not knowing whom he was greeting.

"Harry, where have you been? You're only here now." Sirius beckoned Harry over.

Regulus looked at Harry quietly. Except for the short time he spent with Harry when he first woke up, he hardly spent any time with Harry afterwards. The joy is quite different.

Make him care a little bit.

"I, I went to ask Mr. Brown if he has any follow-up visits." Mr. Brown is the team leader of Regulus' medical team.Harry did ask, but it wasn't today, he vaguely didn't mention it.

Sirius didn't think much of it, he just beckoned Harry over to the bed and hugged him, "Thank you, good boy."

Regulus smiled at Harry but said nothing, uncertain what to say to the boy.Sirius said that Harry is indeed James' child, and he has taken care of Harry for more than ten years. The relationship between the two is so deep that even Sirius, the godfather in name, would shun him. Said to be Harry's elder.Regulus understood Harry's shock and disappointment when he heard Sirius say this, but he was only touched a little.After all, he himself has no sense of reality. If he really wants to say it, he feels that he is only 18 years old, and Harry and Harry can only be regarded as brothers at best.

Harry forced a smile at Regulus, "Hi."

Sirius smiled and patted Harry on the back hard, causing him to stumble and fall forward.

Regulus reached out to support Harry.

"Yes, I'm sorry." There was a flash of panic in Harry's eyes.

Regulus glanced at Sirius, slightly disapproving of his laughter, and then comforted Harry gently, "It's all right."

Sirius shrugged, "Talk, I'll go and see what needs to be cleaned up below." Kreacher disappeared after his gesture.

"I'm sorry I forgot you." Regulus made Harry sit next to his bed, then patted Harry's head.He felt a little awkward, but "adult duty" drove him to get as close to Harry as possible.

"...It doesn't matter." Harry lowered his head, he didn't want Regulus to see his expression, in the past Rael rubbed his head more out of playfulness than at this moment of love... This difference makes him always I couldn't help thinking that Rael and Regulus were two people.

"Can you tell us about us?" Regulus sighed, seeing Harry's discomfort clearly.

Harry glanced at Regulus, "Well, you never used to be like this..."

Regulus looked at Harry encouragingly.

"Actually, it's more about me taking care of you. You can be stupid sometimes." Harry broke his heart and said directly, "You once made cakes and burned the house down, and you even teased Remus, saying He's a beauty, and you sold jewelry in London, and your turnover was so high because you said those ladies liked you..."

Regulus stared blankly.

While talking, Harry paid attention to Regulus' reaction. He didn't deliberately provoke Regulus, but he did choose some contrasting things on purpose, just hoping that Regulus could remember a little bit.

But it was obvious that these things were a little too much based on the education Regulus had received, and his fingers on the quilt were a little trembling.

Harry trailed off slowly.

It took Regulus a long time to come back to his senses. He opened his mouth and asked with difficulty, "...Is everything you said true?"

Harry couldn't bear it for some reason, but he insisted on nodding, "Yeah."

Regulus sighed slowly, leaned back on the pillow, pulled the quilt over his chest, closed his eyes and said weakly, "I think I need to rest."

"Uh, then you can rest, I, I'll go down first." Harry was a little apologetic.

Regulus was silent for a long time.

Harry stood there for a moment before turning and walking away.

"Harry." Regulus called Harry, who turned his head, "It takes time to accept this, and it's not that I don't want to talk to you."

"Ah."
