[HP] Magic didn't give up on you

Wanting to catch Sirius Black is not as easy as eating and drinking.After James and Lily gave birth to Harry, he clearly knew that he had become a new target: he was Harry Potter's godfather and the family's secret keeper.He is an excellent wizard with outstanding abilities, and he knows how to hide and protect himself better.

His and Regulus's home has now also become a safe house with the Fidelity Charm cast, and Gideon Prewett is their secret keeper—the secret keeper needs to bear the additional risks from Death Eaters and Voldemort, If you accidentally fall into the hands of the opponent, it is almost impossible to come back alive.Although the secrets protected by the Fidelity Curse will not be forcibly extracted even if they lose their lives, Veritaserum or Legilimency cannot be used, but other secrets are not so lucky, and the secrets of Regulus are indeed Too much, no matter what kind of exposure they are unable to deal with and accept.

Therefore, they can only place their trust and pressure on their comrades who fight side by side.Gideon Prewett is Molly's older brother, a member of the Order of the Phoenix since its inception.They trusted him fully, his brother died because of protecting his companions, they will always remember, feel guilty and grateful...Gideon offered to be the secret keeper of their house, and Sirius still remembered that Gideon was patting his Shoulders, a gentle and steady expression on a mature face, very reliable.

"Leave it to us, Sirius, Sean," he said. "Leave your back to your partner, as we all do."

This was the last time Sirius saw Gideon. He disappeared three days later, and there has been no news of him for more than two months.

What the hell happened?Where is he now?No one was born, no corpse was seen when dead, no news at all!Sirius walked around the room anxiously, unable to contain his uneasiness and worry.Regulus saw him like this after returning home from work, and he was already able to turn a blind eye and pass him very skillfully—as the time he was forced to hide in the house gradually increased, Sirius became more and more agitated, and he restrained himself It was quite hard, and the experience of more than two months has shown that it is best for everyone not to disturb him at this time.

"Any news about Gideon?" He didn't speak, but Sirius took the initiative to speak to him.Regulus paused when he took off his coat, and sighed silently with his back turned to him. When he turned to him, the expression on his face was still peaceful and composed.

"No, not at all." He said, trying to bring some reassurance into his tone, "If there is news of him, we will go to the rescue without hesitation. The problem is that there is no news of Gideon anywhere now , we are almost certain that he has fallen into the hands of the Dark Lord, but more than two months have passed, and there is no new movement there..."

"It's been three months since today." Sirius said with a gloomy face, his handsome face showed irritability and decadence, he had obviously had enough of being forced to be locked up at home, "What more doubts do you need? Voldemort took him! Voldemort must have done it! Don't make that uncomfortable look, Regulus - that's not your master anymore! Haven't you gotten used to it yet? I don't understand why everyone Waste time on unquestionable questions! The house still has the Fidelity Charm, and it's not in their usual style that they didn't kill Gideon, they must have some purpose, we just don't know yet— —”

Regulus shivered because of the name Sirius blurted out in anger, his face was not very good-looking, and his brows were frowned.

"Okay, Sirius." Regulus said in a low voice, rarely feeling a little irritable, "I know you're not afraid, but there's no need to deliberately mention that name. Don't worry about these meaningless questions, just take care of yourself." Not going out here, not falling into the hands of the other side, is the greatest help to James, just bear with it."

The war has continued until now, and in the dark decade, the name Voldemort has already become a code name representing disaster and fear, which makes people shudder when they hear it.Everyone has changed to call him the mysterious man since sometime, and when they are afraid of a person to the bone, they can't even hear his name.

Of course, not everyone is afraid of Voldemort, but for a former Death Eater, because he knows enough about his terror, he is even more irresistible to this fear.

"I'm the only one locked up here!" Sirius said angrily. "Really, I'd rather be Gideon's whereabouts. If it falls into the hands of the other side, I can kill a few Death Eaters, no doubt. -"

His voice stopped abruptly, and at the same time, Regulus, who had already opened his mouth to say something, suddenly shook his expression.The two brothers stopped talking, looked at each other stiffly, and then looked at the house they were in.

Just now, there seemed to be an indescribable feeling of rupture coming from the soul, as if something had been forcibly stripped away. Judging from the moment they looked at each other, the two of them simultaneously perceived to this point.

Regulus' face turned pale instantly, and Sirius seemed to have been punched out of thin air.He stood there, paused for a while, then slowly raised his hand, stared at it, and moved tentatively, as if trying to grab something that was passing by quickly.

"...The Loyalty Curse has been broken." He murmured, "The Secret Keeper...is gone."

The departure of another companion.

Regulus swayed, and after a few seconds, he came back to his senses, reached out and took off the coat that had just been hung on the hanger, put it on again, and hurried out: "Eli is currently on duty in the Order of the Phoenix, Give him a call ... I'll stop by, I think we have an urgent meeting coming up."

"I'll go with you." Sirius said without thinking, and was about to follow him immediately, "Today, when Gideon disappeared for three full months—this day must have a corresponding meaning, we need to immediately... "

"No, Sirius, you stay here." Regulus raised his hand to stop him, and said with a frown, "The Loyalty Curse has expired, but the secrecy effect is still there—no one else has visited us since we became a safe house." The house, the address is known only to Gideon and us. Now that Gideon is dead, you are the secret keeper of the James family, and the secret keeper of this house has become me. This place is still safe, and you can stay here at ease .”

"Reassuring?" Sirius was stunned for a moment, and asked incredulously, "What do you think I'm doing at home, lying in peace and contentment, glad that my life is safe? Now the secret keeper has become you——yours." Are there fewer secrets than this house? This place can no longer live! We need to move as soon as possible! Then—"

In the middle of his speech, he suddenly stopped, his face was ugly, and he didn't say a word.Regulus glanced at him questioningly, and suddenly realized that the price for changing the safe house was to replace a new Secret Keeper... and their previous Secret Keeper kept their address and secrets, and it was at Just now, a person died alone in an unknown place.

His heart was also tightly clenched by an invisible hand, but the situation was urgent, and he had to go back to the Order of the Phoenix to inform others of the news, so he could only glance at his elder brother in a hurry, and scribbled: "Wait!" I'll talk about it when I come back."

Gideon Prewett's death is a heavy blow to all members of the Order of the Phoenix.

"Yes, Molly is very sad, very sad, she only has two brothers, and now she can't come to our house for dinner." Arthur whispered, he had just finished working overtime at the Ministry of Magic and had dinner after returning home. Halfway through the meal, I was called over by the sudden news, with a look of gloom and haggardness on my face, "But it's okay, don't spend time comforting me. It's not that we are not sad, it's just that no one can avoid such things, In this age, everyone has already made this kind of preparation in front of reality."

Alastor Moody patted him on the shoulder, but said nothing.The atmosphere in the meeting room was oppressive and deserted. There were not a few members left in the first generation of the Order of the Phoenix, and most of the energetic new blood who joined later were forced to hide in their own safe houses, which made even the Order of the Phoenix Can't cheer up clearly.

"Three months." Eli repeated the time in a low voice, took a deep breath, and rubbed his face after staying up late on duty to make himself more awake, "Obviously, during these three months, the mysterious person and food The Dead Apostles failed to get any desired information from Gideon, and in their rage before the staunch warrior, they took his life."

"The side that has no bottom line is always more unscrupulous." Remus sighed deeply, shaking his head solemnly, "Obviously, they are looking for traces of little Harry, so they urgently want to get rid of him. They were unable to determine who the secret keeper was, so they chose to investigate and break down one by one. In the past three months, they must have used all the cruel and evil methods on Gideon. They defeated everything and said nothing, so they felt that he was useless, and lost his life as a result, and the next round of hunting was about to begin."

"The situation is very clear, but what should we do?" Marlene McKinnon asked uneasily, clenching her fingers worriedly, "It is impossible for us to hide all the secret-keepers of the Fidelity Curse, if everyone hides, there will be no People who fight against the mysterious man, maybe this is their purpose, even if we can't find the prophesied savior, we can also disintegrate us from the inside, making us cherish our own lives, and then lose the ability to take up the magic wand to defend our homeland and compatriots Courage. If everyone only cares about their own lives, who will defeat the mysterious man?"

No one answered, and the meeting room fell silent for a moment.No one can give the answer to this question, they can only cheer up and do their best to fight against the attack from Voldemort and Death Eaters, even if the cost is their own lives.

Since everyone knew that James and Lily must not know about this matter, otherwise they would suffer from inner torment, so they all kept silent about this matter after the meeting, and so did Regulus.For some inexplicable reason, he didn't even tell Sirius the specific content of the meeting, and only made a decision after a long period of thinking in his heart.

As long as the last secret keeper dies, this house and the people in his house will completely become an unsolvable secret.As long as Sirius doesn't go out at that time, no one will be able to find him, and naturally no one will be able to find James' house.If one day he is unfortunately caught, he needs to kill himself immediately... There are too many secrets in him, it is best to end his life immediately the second he is face to face with the Dark Lord, so as to ensure that no one will be hurt. What an innocent person, Sirius, the companions of the Order of the Phoenix, his mother and Kreacher... But before his consciousness dissipated, maybe he would be happy to tell the Dark Lord face to face that the careful calculation ended here, For the common goal and everything he guards, he is willing to die.

He thought about everything he might face, the only thing he didn't expect was that Sirius and his thoughts were exactly the same.

"It's very simple, as long as the secret keeper of James' family is dead - Gideon has already proved when he died that the death of the secret keeper will not completely invalidate the Fidelity Charm. Now no one else knows the address of James' home, The natural choice." Sirius said, standing by the open window, turned to look at him, and said calmly, "Take care of yourself, Regulus, I didn't say it, I'm glad to be in the cave Pulling you up is probably the proudest thing I've ever done—but today I'm going to do something even greater. So, I'll go first."

Regulus hastily reached out to grab him, just like the summer in his memory of the fourth grade summer vacation, he didn't grab anything.He could only watch Sirius jump off the window sill and once again rush to his relentless adventure.
