[HP] just lover

Two people who once loved each other, even though they were separated, can still understand well what the eyes of each other represent.

Vanessa resisted his approach, resisting his approach and whispering.

Lucius slowly turned away from looking into her eyes, forcing himself not to think about things that he shouldn't think about at the moment.

About to turn 30, Lucius found that his views were changing year by year.

When he is alone, he often wonders what his life would be like if he had made the opposite decision back then.

The result of every thought is the same.

Lucius Malfoy will not make other decisions, he will insist on marrying, having children, and taking the path destined to belong to Malfoy's heir.

Thirty-year-old Lucius Malfoy began to have other thoughts, and there were moments when he hesitated, thought, and even assumed what would happen to him all over again.

But he never really regretted it.

Especially when he saw Draco.

This is probably Merlin's arrangement. When he feels that he has lost the love of his life, he gets another love.Although that kind of love is completely different, it can at least fill some voids in his heart.

Draco is the reason he persisted until today.

But all his calm and self-possession disappeared on the day Vanessa divorced.

His heart began to stir again, so despicable.

"All right."

After a long time, Vanessa walked away from him with a slightly pale face. She stood up, walked to the opposite side of the sofa, did not sit down, but said in the same tone as usual: "I will continue to treat you when you come tomorrow, come here first today, go back At least it won't scare Xiaolong afterwards."

Lucius closed his eyes and put on his own clothes little by little. He fastened the buttons of the white shirt slowly and gracefully one by one. He seemed not to see the blood on the shoulder of the shirt. Vanessa hesitated for a few seconds Zhong, still raised his wand and said, "Clean it up."

Lucius glanced at the clean shirt, pursed the corners of his mouth, put on his wizard robe, held his cane and said, "I'm leaving."

Vanessa nodded, holding the wand in both hands, caressing unconsciously.

"See you tomorrow." He said that every day when he left.

Vanessa just looked at him complicatedly every time, but didn't reply.

But today is different.

She stared at his back who was about to disapparate and said, "Let's go to the fireplace. Narcissa opened the fireplace from Malfoy Manor to here. I cleaned the fireplace very clean. It's a little more comfortable than disapparation."

Lucius looked back at her, still a little uncomfortable with her almost caring words.

Vanessa continued: "You are injured now, not as much as before, so just go to the fireplace."

Of course Lucius would not refuse her.

He walked to her clean fireplace, reached out for a handful of Floo powder, and was about to leave when he heard Vanessa say again, "See you tomorrow."

He stared at her with slightly wide eyes, and after she finished speaking, she lifted her feet and walked upstairs, throwing him a back view.

Lucius stood in the fireplace for a long time before he sprinkled Floo powder and said "Malfoy Manor".

There was a flash of green light, and his figure had disappeared into the fireplace.

Vanessa reappeared at the corner of the second floor, staring at the place where he left, holding the handrail of the stairs tightly, struggling.

By the time Christmas came, Lucius had fully healed from his injuries.

At the invitation of Narcissa, Vanessa went to Malfoy Manor for Christmas.

In fact, she wanted to spend Christmas quietly at home with Senajiu, but Narcissa came to invite her with Draco in her arms. She refused twice, and she refused to let her go. She could only follow her went.

What she didn't know was that as soon as she and Narcissa left, Sirius appeared at her door.

He knocked on the door for a long time but no one opened, so he looked around.After making sure that no Muggles were paying attention, he entered the house with a door opening spell.

It was darkness that greeted him.

Vanessa and Senna have been away for a long time, and the house is empty.

He went up to the second floor and looked at his daughter's crib. The air still seemed to be filled with the scent of milk from Senna's body.

Sirius sat down on his daughter's bed in frustration, looked at the beautifully wrapped Christmas present in his hand, feeling uncomfortable all over his body.

Today is Christmas, the day of family reunion, he thought today would be a chance, but...

Nobody at home.

Where can Vanessa go for such a festival?

Sirius was silent for a while, then got up and went to the next room.

Roxy fell asleep in the portrait, and was still a little dazed when he was awakened by Sirius.

"Sirius?" She scratched her hair and said, "Have you come to see Senna?"

Sirius pursed his lips and asked, "They're not at home, today is Christmas, do you know where they went?"

Roxy thought for a while and said, "I met Mrs. Malfoy. She was holding the baby and invited Nissa to Malfoy Manor for Christmas. Nissa refused to no avail, so she went with her."

Mrs Malfoy...

Narcissa.

Sirius frowned. If he had been in the past, he would have run to Malfoy Manor angrily now, asking her why she was going there for Christmas and why she didn't wait for him at home.He'd probably get into a fight with Lucius and make a mess of Malfoy Manor.

But he won't now.

First, he has no position anymore, and he even missed seeing Cena several times because he went to see Harry and help the poor little boy.He hadn't seen Senna for nearly a month, and now he was even afraid to see her. He was very worried that his daughter would look at him with strange and indifferent eyes.

Second...he is no longer the naive and crazy young man he was back then.The year in Azkaban tortured him almost to the point of insanity, but Vanessa's meticulous care helped him regain his sanity, and now he would no longer be so impulsive and reckless.

So he can't go to her.

can not go.

Even if he really wants to have a good meal with his family at Christmas time.

Even if he knew... the love rival he hated the most, often came here to "brainwash" his most cherished little Senna when he was not around, the frequency was far more frequent than his biological father.

He is not the Sirius Black he used to be, and he wants Vanessa to see his change, see his determination, and return to him.So he pretended that he had been kept in the dark, that he didn't know, that he wasn't angry, or that he wasn't jealous.

Sometimes he really felt like he was going crazy.

But he's going to keep going.

Because once he slacked off and did what he wanted to do the most, the consequences would be even worse.

And he was indeed... somewhat ashamed of his daughter.

Sirius finally put the gift on his daughter's bed and left the house.

Since he couldn't see his wife and daughter, he could only go to Privet Drive.

Today is Christmas, and I don't know if the damn Muggles of that family will treat Harry better.

When Sirius apparated to Privet Drive, he accidentally met Dumbledore here.

Dumbledore stood outside the window of the Dursleys' house, staring into the window, with a hint of sadness in his blue eyes.

From the way he looked, it was obvious that that Muggle would not be good to Harry even if it was Christmas.

Sirius' expression became even more gloomy, and he walked over expressionlessly.

Christmas at Malfoy Manor is particularly lively this year.

It's not just that the house elves have decorated the place with a festive atmosphere, it's no longer as cool and luxurious as usual, the biggest reason is because there are so many people here this year.

As soon as Vanessa and Senna appeared, Senna was attracted by the colorful Christmas tree and struggled to play.

Draco noticed her intention, waved his little hand and said, "Come down to Senna! Let's go play together!"

Vanessa put Senna on the ground, and Senna staggered towards Draco, almost falling.

"Hey! Be careful!" Draco took a few steps forward like a big brother, took Senna's hand, and led her to the Christmas tree, showing a bright smile, "Come to find your Christmas present?"

Senajiu stared at the Christmas tree curiously, and directly took off all the gift boxes that she liked.

Draco was stunned, looking at the domineering little girl in disbelief, forgetting to react for a moment.

Seeing this scene, Vanessa was trying to stop her daughter's bad behavior, but she found that Senna took off all the boxes and did not take them as her own. Instead, she observed carefully and finally chose one among all the beautiful gift boxes. , held in hand.

"This is mine!" Senna's eyes sparkled. After finding her own, she hung the other boxes back up. Even though the tree was too tall for her, she managed to finish it on tiptoe.

Draco closed his long mouth, and praised like a little adult: "You guessed Senna right, you are really smart."

Vanessa was relieved that her daughter didn't do what she thought was too much.

She withdrew her gaze, and was looking at Lucius looking at her. He seemed to have been looking at her for a long time, and his eyes were a little dazed. After meeting her eyes, he was still stunned, and turned away immediately when he recovered.

Vanessa also looked in a different direction, so that she saw the slightly familiar person.

"Hunter Rozier." Narcissa introduced, "You should know each other, Nisha, we are classmates."

Vanessa stepped forward hesitantly, and shook hands with Hunter: "Of course I do. Mr. Rozier was excellent when he was in school."

She didn't quite understand why there was a man who came alone at the family gathering?Could it be that he came with his wife and children, but they were somewhere else and she didn't see them?

Vanessa looked at Narcissa questioningly, and Narcissa looked at Lucius strangely, and said truthfully with Lucius' acquiescence: "Hunter is my lover."

Vanessa glanced at Hunter in astonishment, and soon looked at Lucius, who stood there expressionlessly without even frowning.

"I remember you." Hunter said friendly, "Miss Albert. No, it should be Miss Green now."

It took Vanessa a long time to say: "... I'm glad you remember me." The amount of information in this scene is a bit large, and she hasn't reacted yet. Please forgive her for being a little slow in responding.

Hunter gave Narcissa a helpless look. Narcissa walked up to Vanessa, pulled her away from the two men, and whispered in her ear: "I have been with Hunter for a long time, Lu Xiu Si knows. I also know what happened between you and Lucius back then. Between us...it’s not the same as a normal couple.” She smiled, very easy-going, and didn’t mind Vanessa’s overreaction at all , she also explained, "Maybe it is difficult for you to understand, but this is not uncommon in the world of pure-blood wizards. In order to ensure the purity and nobility of the bloodline, we will make many choices that others cannot understand. The one you love gets married."

Vanessa pursed her lips and said, "I know."

Sirius' parents are cousins.

They got married with such a close relationship and gave birth to healthy and intelligent children like Sirius and Regulus, so they were very lucky.

Narcissa nodded and said, "That's how Lucius and I are. Do you remember that I gave you our wedding invitation when we were at Hogwarts? Actually, I am showing my favor to you, and I hope to help Lucius I got you, but..." She showed a regretful and helpless expression, Vanessa remained silent, really not knowing what to say about it.

"You changed me, Nissa." Narcissa stopped, and the two stood beside another small Christmas tree. She looked at Draco who was playing with Senna at the foot of the big Christmas tree from a distance, and said softly, "I used to always think that the choice I made was correct and reasonable. But I have only discovered in recent years that that choice is indeed correct and reasonable, but it is not the one that makes me the happiest." She smiled and said, "You Do you still remember when Sirius had an accident, and I asked you what your plans are?" A few traces of memories appeared on her face, "You said you would start over, and I thought at that time, how can my life start over again? ?I also have people I love, and so does Lucius. We combined for interests and blood, and gave birth to my most important little dragon. This is the first half of my life. What about the second half of my life?"

Vanessa said after a long time: "I hope it's not because I let your husband and wife separate, then I will..."

"Of course it's not just because of your few words that made me feel painful." Narcissa patted her on the shoulder and comforted her, "Don't think about it that way. I just don't want to see Hunter torture himself for me anymore. For a while, I saw the smile on his face again when he was young. He once fought for power and status with Lucius in front of the Dark Lord for me. After the Dark Lord fell, he almost died in Azkaban. You don’t know that I was in How Azkaban felt when he saw him, what prompted me to make the choice today is not someone, but love."

Love……

What a terrible word.

"'Today's Choice'? What is that?" Vanessa looked up at Narcissa, as if she knew her all over again.

"It's been a while since I made a new decision, but I can't tell you yet." It's better for Lucius to tell her himself, Narcissa smiled and said, "But you should soon You'll know, and it won't be long."

Vanessa was a little overwhelmed, and Narcissa pulled her back into the conversation, but she was still not very natural.

In the following gatherings, she seemed to be chatting with everyone, but she was actually thinking about Narcissa's words in her mind.

What decision did she make?

Vanessa stared at Draco unconsciously, and Draco and Senna played together, and the two were so close that they seemed like one person.

Beautiful children are really eye-catching when they play together, just looking at them is pleasing to the eyes, and Vanessa can see from Lucius' eyes that he thinks the same.

The corners of his mouth seemed to be hooked, not only did he not reject Hunter's existence, but he also welcomed it.

As for Hunter, he was also very kind to Draco, and they seemed to have a good relationship. In the occasional few conversations, Draco was also enthusiastic, and thanked Hunter very seriously for the Christmas gift he gave him.

This way of getting along is too strange. Vanessa always feels that something is getting closer to her. She has an inexplicable sense of crisis, and she takes Senajiu home very early.

Of course Draco was crying again, he was very upset, he thought Senna might be staying at Malfoy Manor tonight, but...

Seeing the mother and daughter disappearing into the fireplace, Draco looked at his father sleepily and said, "Dad, today is Christmas, why did Aunt Vanessa leave so early?" He whispered, "Mom also said They might live here."

Lucius was also looking at the empty fireplace at the moment, and casually replied to his son, "They want to go back to their home."

Draco snorted angrily: "Then can I go? It's still early."

Lucius gave him a surprised look.

Draco twiddled his fingers and said, "Can I stay at Aunt Vanessa's? I like it there."

Do you like Senajiu? ? ?Lucius looked at his son speechlessly, and suddenly realized a problem.

——What if Draco fell in love with Senagyu?

He was a Malfoy, his heir.

Senna... Senna is a mixed race.

Even though her father, Black, is a pureblood, Vanessa herself is a half-blood, and her daughter will have Muggle blood.

Lucius frowned, Draco didn't know what his father was thinking, crawled over and said, "Dad, hold me and play."

Lucius couldn't help but glared at him: "Play by yourself."

Draco said aggrievedly: "Why? Today is Christmas, isn't it? Uncle Hunter is willing to play with me, but you are only willing to play with Senna..."

Seeing that his son was about to cry, Lucius had no choice but to pick him up.

Narcissa went to see Hunter off, but she hasn't come back yet, and now the father and son are the only ones in the manor.

Lucius held Draco in his arms, stared at his immature profile for a long time, and then asked him: "Do you like Senna very much, Draco?"

Draco said without hesitation: "Of course! Senna is my favorite!"

"..." Lucius was silent for a while, and then said, "But Senna is of mixed race."

Draco looked at Lucius in confusion, "Half-blood?"

"She's different from you, she has Muggle blood." Lucius explained.

Draco was taken aback and said, "So what? I still like her."

Lucius froze, the child was too young, it was the first time he mentioned the concept of pure blood and mixed blood to him today, the only word Draco knew so far was the word Muggle, because he often mentioned it when talking about business The child can tell from his contemptuous tone that it is not a good word... Draco is not yet able to define the difference between his family and other families well, and Lucius hesitates to continue this topic.

After a long silence, Lucius spoke again: "Draco, how do you like Senna? I want to be with her for the rest of my life, just the two of you, or just like Goyle and Crabbe. To be a good friend that can be shared?"

Draco opened his eyes wide and thought for a while, then said, "Senna and Vincent are different."

"But she's a half-breed." Lucius emphasized the word again, "The Malfoy family—until your generation, never accepted a half-breed." He tightened his grip on his son, saying that he was not sure Whether the child can understand the words, I really don't know what answer I am expecting.

Draco was quiet for a long time this time before whispering, "But I still like her, Dad, it doesn't matter if she's a mixed race." He grabbed his father's collar, "Mom said I'm your heir, then I Malfoy too, can't I make my own choices?"

……no.

At least the situation back then had no choice for Lucius.

Neither Abraxas nor Voldemort allowed him to marry a half-breed, nor did he receive more than ten years of heir education in his bones.

But Draco might be different.

He was still very young, hadn't been instilled with anything, and was as pure as a blank slate, so there was no psychological barrier that he couldn't overcome, so he was able to say the above words that made other pure-blood families laugh.

Moreover, he is not a father like Abu, and the Dark Lord has already fallen, even if he may return again...

No, he can't have him back.

Narcissa returned to the manor at this time, Lucius didn't say anything, and handed Draco to her.

At the beginning of the new year, when Hogwarts started again, Lucius and Regulus went to see Dumbledore together.

"This is my answer to you." Dumbledore pointed to the sorting hat on the table with his wand.

Regulus frowned, and Lucius said directly: "The Sorting Hat? Use it to defeat Nagini?" His long tone was full of mockery, "You can't be stupid, Dumbledore."

Dumbledore smiled and said, "I may have a little bit, but it's not serious, so this choice is not wrong." He waved his wand, and a sword slowly appeared in the sorting hat. It was not the first time Lucius had seen that sword. .

"The sword of Godric Gryffindor." He explained to Regulus.

Regulus stared at the sword without saying a word.

Dumbledore held the sword and said: "I think it can solve your troubles, but..." After a short pause, he slightly raised his eyes and said, "You know, this is the sword of Gryffindor. If the person holding the sword It's Slytherin, maybe not able to use its full power."

Lucius smiled sarcastically and did not express his opinion, but Regulus, who had been silent all along, said, "Have you arranged for someone you think is more suitable to deal with Nagini, principal?"

Dumbledore liked Regulus's politeness very much, at least it was much more pleasing than Lucius' superior appearance.

He smiled and said to Regulus: "No, boy, no one is more suitable to deal with Nagini than you and Lucius." He explained, "I just found a helper for you, he is more suitable Use this sword to exert its full strength and help you solve the problem thoroughly."

Lucius suddenly had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, Dumbledore's voice fell, and Sirius walked in from the headmaster's room, and said impatiently, "Dumbledore, you are looking for me..." Before he finished speaking, he saw his younger brother standing beside Dumbledore And Lucius, their expressions froze for a while.

"You're here, Sirius." Dumbledore winked at him and said, "Come here, we don't have much time left."

Yes, that's right, as Lucius and Regulus saw, the person Dumbledore found who could use the Gryffindor sword perfectly was Sirius.

Sirius is a Gryffindor.

He is also a member of the Order of the Phoenix.

He is also the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts.

It was indeed a perfect fit for him to do this.

But... Lucius found it particularly off-putting.

"I think it's enough for the two Mr. Black to complete this matter, and I don't need to waste time together." He frowned annoyedly, "Then I will take my leave first, Dumbledore."

He wanted to leave, but Dumbledore stopped him.

"Wait, Lucius," he said loudly, "you have to go, Lucius. None of us can guarantee whether Tom is near Nagini, maybe they have met, maybe they haven't. You know Black The devil's people, I need you to go with them."

Sirius said coldly: "Who can explain to me what's going on now?"

Dumbledore was the best at it, so he explained things quickly.

"So..." Sirius took a breath and said, "The Dark Lord hasn't completely disappeared yet?" He didn't know whether it was hatred or excitement, his eyes were a little red, "He's hiding somewhere in Anirbania ? Good." He was about to walk away from the fireplace, but Dumbledore stopped him.

"I didn't tell you this because I was afraid you would be impulsive, Sirius." Dumbledore disagreed. "I know you hate him, but you can't go there alone to find him. Regulus and Lucius Been looking for traces of him, but to no avail."

Sirius said indifferently: "Let the Death Eaters find the Dark Lord, Dumbledore, are you not old-fashioned?"

He asked a question that Lucius had asked, and Lucius had a strange look on his face.

"Well, I'm going to answer this question a second time. A little bit, but it's out of the way now—look, Sirius, you've got to do what I've got to do, and you don't want any more accidents, do you? If If you don't agree with this, I can only forget about you."

Dumbledore's threatening words calmed Sirius down.The hatred that drove him to Albania to kill the Dark Lord was suppressed to the bottom of his heart little by little, and when he raised his head again, he was calmer.

"Very good." Dumbledore said relievedly, "You are much better now than before, which is why I am willing to entrust this matter to you." Otherwise he might hand it over to Lupine—anyone Well, he trusted many Gryffindors, not necessarily Sirius.

But...Dumbledore still chose him out of some unspeakable guilt and bold attempt.

"You don't know everything, Sirius. Please trust Regulus and Lucius. They are my most loyal friends. They have gained my trust. You must cooperate with them." Dumbledore asked again.

Sirius said indifferently: "You don't need to worry so much, Dumbledore, I will do as you say, although..." He looked at Lucius irritably, but he didn't speak ill of Regulus, just Said sullenly, "Though I'm not too receptive to working with Death Eaters."

He kept mentioning the word Death Eater, which made both Lucius and Regulus lose face. Lucius said directly: "Go ahead and tell your child well, Dumbledore, I'm going to go first. It's almost like a joke."

After he finished speaking, he wanted to leave, but Sirius finally couldn't restrain himself: "You feel guilty and dare not face me, right? It's not as grand as what you said."

Lucius looked at him indifferently: "I have nothing to feel guilty about you, Blake."

Sirius curled his lips and was about to tell about Lucius's malicious visits to Vanessa every day, but Regulus cut him off: "Come here, let's set off together—then , we will bring back good news as soon as possible, principal."

Dumbledore was delighted that Regulus had interrupted their quarrel, literally sending them off.

Lucius glanced at Regulus, gave him face, left without saying a word.

With the sword of Gryffindor, their operation should go more smoothly.

However, Nagini did not know where he hid, and it was not found in places where it had been traced before.

Sirius still needs to teach at Hogwarts, so the time they can search for is not fixed, and it is not too much. It is intermittent. It was not until September of this year that traces of Nagini were found again in Albania.

"It's a snake slough." Lucius straightened up, cleaned his hands with his wand, looked forward and said, "After a snake sheds its skin, there will be a period of weakness. It will be easier to deal with it if you find it during this period."

Regulus nodded and said, "Let's split up and use the wand to signal when we find it."

Lucius turned around and left, Sirius glared at him, looked at Regulus and asked, "Which way are you going?"

It has to be said that being able to fight side by side with his brother made Regulus a little weirdly excited. He pointed to the direction beside him and said, "There."

Sirius nodded and said, "Then I'll go this way." After finishing speaking, he headed in that direction.

Regulus stared at his back for a while, then walked towards the direction he chose.

Lucius was the first to spot Nagini.

When Regulus and Sirius saw the signal and rushed to the scene, Lucius had already struggled to parry a giant snake by himself.

After undergoing a molt, Nagini grew bigger. It slid fast and was fierce when facing Lucius alone, but when it saw Regulus and Sirius appearing together, it tried to escape. Regulus immediately blocked its way of escape, Sirius took out the Gryffindor sword and guarded the other side, and the three of them dealt with it together.

The end result is not bad.

Nagini was badly wounded by the sword of Gryffindor - yes, badly, but not dead, because Regulus stopped Sirius.

"What are you doing?" Sirius looked at him puzzled, "I can kill it and solve all troubles."

Regulus said: "Don't kill it, just control it."

"This is different from Dumbledore's request." Sirius frowned.

Lucius also rarely agreed with his words, and looked away a little unnaturally.

Sirius also snorted in disgust, and the two of them looked at each other in a very conflicted manner.

"I will explain it to him, and he will agree with me." Regulus waved his wand, stunned and shrunk the dying Nagini, and put him in a special cage, saying, "Now we will go to see him .”

Hogwarts had just started, and Dumbledore was at school, and when they arrived, he had just sent off Professor McGonagall.

"We got it," Sirius said as soon as he stepped out of the fireplace, "but someone wouldn't let me kill it, so—" He stepped aside, revealing Regulus and the cage, "as you can see, it Inside, still alive, with a breath. The soul fragment of the Dark Lord..." His tone became a little depressed, "It should not be completely gone yet."

Dumbledore looked at Regulus, and instead of quickly looking at the dying Nagini, he just asked him, "Why?"

Regulus put the cage on the table and said, "Principal, you mentioned the issue of Mr. Potter's scar. I have some suggestions, which may involve Nagini."

Lucius frowned. He was just going to casually watch around, but what Regulus mentioned seemed unusual, so he couldn't help but straighten his face.

Regarding Harry, Sirius was extremely concerned. He immediately asked, "Harry's scar? What's wrong with the scar?"

Dumbledore didn't explain, but said: "Siris, you have done a good job this time, and now there is no business for you here, you can go back and prepare for class."

Sirius said coldly: "Crossing the river and tearing down the bridge, Dumbledore?"

"This is for your own good. You are not calm enough in Harry's affairs. If you are involved, it may harm the child. So you'd better not participate in the next thing." Dumbledore waved his hand , Sirius was kicked out of the principal's office, and when he tried to use the password to enter, the password had already been changed.

"Damn it!" Sirius cursed angrily.

Principal's room.

Regulus walked to the desk, stared at the snake in the cage and said: "Principal, you said that there may be a piece of soul left behind by the Dark Lord involuntarily in Mr. Potter's body, please forgive me - I once did it without permission. I went to the Dursleys' house to check, and I think the same as you."

Dumbledore said after a while, "What is your reason for keeping Nagini?"

"We've already destroyed the other Horcruxes of the Dark Lord," Regulus said. "Only Nagini and... Mr. Potter remain."

A child is one of the Horcruxes. This is a serious conclusion, and it is very difficult to solve, so no one has said it clearly. When Regulus suddenly said it, Dumbledore and Lucius didn't look very good. .

"After I confirmed this idea, I have been researching how to safely remove the Soul Piece from Mr. Potter's body-it is a bit too much for a child to bear the existence of the Dark Lord, don't you think? "

Regulus' question didn't need to be answered at all, and he quickly announced the answer: "I have found the method, but I need experiments and soul tablets for reference. I can't directly test it on Mr. Potter, you Say yes, Headmaster?"

Dumbledore looked at Regulus in surprise, with unabashed admiration in his eyes.

So did Lucius.

The problem with Harry Potter has always been their knots. If all the soul pieces are not destroyed, the Dark Lord will return sooner or later, and he will still be considered immortal, but what if one of the soul pieces is a person?Or the Boy Who Lived?

This choice is too difficult to make.

Even Dumbledore couldn't make a completely sure decision for a while, and Regulus pointed out a way to the Kangzhuang Avenue, the easiest and fastest way.

It wasn't the first time Lucius felt Regulus' intelligence.

He and his brother Sirius Black seem to be polar opposites.

Sirius' Gryffindor-like impulsiveness and recklessness made him seem like a fool at times, but Regulus was different.

When the Dark Lord did not fall, he could rely on his own ability to find out the problem and find out the existence of Horcruxes from a sentence of the Dark Lord.After combining Dumbledore and Lucius, he would come up with a better solution, which is amazing but not surprising.

"So, I hope you can trust me, Headmaster, and hand over Nagini to me." Regulus whispered, "I will give you a satisfactory answer. As long as you are willing to entrust it to a Slytherin."

Dumbledore didn't speak, and handed him the cage directly.

Regulus looked at him in surprise, as if he didn't expect him to even hesitate.

"I believe in you, child, from the very beginning." Dumbledore said gently, "Your intelligence and reason make me seem to see the future of the wizarding world." It even made him feel that he saw a successor.Of course, the premise is that it would be great if Regulus was a Gryffindor.

Regulus didn't say anything, and left with Nagini directly. When only Lucius and Dumbledore were left at the scene, Dumbledore wanted to say something, but the movement outside the headmaster interrupted him. Frowning, he swung his wand and opened the door, and Sirius barged in directly.

"Very good, if you don't open the door, I'm going to destroy that statue." Sirius walked up to them with a cold face, and found that Regulus and Nagini were gone, so he knew he was still late up.

"I haven't had a chance to know the truth, have I?" he asked, pursing his lips.

Dumbledore smiled and didn't talk about this topic, just said: "Thank you for letting go of the statue at my door, Sirius, otherwise I would have to spend a lot of effort to restore it."

The corner of Sirius' mouth twitched, and Dumbledore continued, "Lucius, continue with what I was about to say - now that the Horcrux issue has been resolved, all we need to deal with is Tom's last soul gone."

Lucius didn't answer quickly, and Dumbledore said directly: "How long will it take you to find him? The children are growing up day by day, and our time is running out."

Lucius frowned and said, "Why don't you help yourself, Dumbledore?"

Dumbledore smiled and said: "Oh, of course I hope I can help, but my dear boy, I am the headmaster of Hogwarts, how can I leave here without authorization during the school term? The students here need me, for example For example, if Draco enrolls in the future, you don't want me to be away from Hogwarts all the time, do you?"

Hogwarts without Dumbledore was not as safe as imagined, Lucius was silenced while Sirius gloated.

Lucius glanced at him contemptuously, and said to Dumbledore, "You don't need to be so anxious, Dumbledore. If the Dark Lord is really in Albania and the appearance of Regulus and I caused such a commotion, he might He was aware of it, so we hid completely, so we couldn't find him." He made a hypothesis, "Or, he didn't find something wrong, but he experienced a failure, and he is very weak now, so it is difficult to fix his position. It made it difficult for us to find him. But don't worry, as long as the Dark Lord wants to come back and make a comeback, even if he knows that I may not be reliable, he will still come to me."

Sirius said disdainfully, "You are really confident."
