Ch 502

Harry's words awakened Lupin and Sirius who were in a pessimistic mood and cheered them up again.

"You are right, Harry! At least we now know the secret of Voldemort's immortality and destroyed a few Horcruxes, and we are very close to success!" Sirius patted Harry on the shoulder with emotion.

Lupin laughed, too, and they all managed to overcome the difficult days when Voldemort was overpowering the magic world.

Now Voldemort was just lingering in the dark and could only sit and watch them destroy the Horcrux one by one. The situation was already very favorable.

"Kreacher, do you remember how to go to that place? I mean the place where Regulus obtained this Horcrux..." Sirius hesitated, and finally looked at Kreacher and asked.

"Of course, Kreacher... Kreacher will never forget..." the old house elf trembling, choked.

Ever since he witnessed Regulus being dragged into the lake by one hand, this scene was accompanied by remorse deeply engraved in Kreacher's mind, which would emerge as soon as he closed his eyes.

"Sirius, what do you ask this for? The Horcrux has been taken out by Regulus." Ivan frowned.

"I want to bring back Regulus' body!" Sirius sighed.

"Do you know the risks of doing this? What if he has been assimilated into a corpse?" Ivan did not agree with Xiao Tianran's idea ~www.mtlnovel.com~If Regulus's soul is here, I certainly don't want them to take risks for a corpse.

"Then even more so! The soul of the person who is made into a corpse will never be redeemed. In short, I can't let him stay... stay in that place!" Sirius said firmly.

When he learned that Regulus was immersed in the cold lake alone, with countless corpses, Sirius's heart was in torment.

Recovering Regulus' body was the only thing he could do for this younger brother.

Ivan shook his head helplessly. There is another possibility he couldn't bear to mention, that is, Regulus might be torn into pieces by the corpse, maybe the bones have been soaked...

However, thinking about it from another angle, Ivan also couldn't tolerate the desecration of the corpse of his relatives, so he didn't say any more to persuade him, but made an idea.

"In that case, let's inform Professor Dumbledore! If you really want Regulus to rest... Or do you expect us to handle a pool of corpses?"

Sirius didn't want to trouble Dumbledore because of his personal affairs, but Ivan's words made him unable to refute, so he hesitated for a while.

　　 "Ivan is right, this matter is very dangerous, we may not be able to solve it, and if one of Voldemort's Horcruxes is destroyed, he must be notified!" Lupin said help.

　　 "Okay, I'm going to Hogwarts now!" Sirius exhaled.

　　 Now that he made up his mind, Sirius didn't hesitate to do so, but disappeared in the same place after performing Apparition.

　　 About half an hour later, Sirius' figure appeared in the underground library again, his brows frowned and his expression very ugly.

　　 "How is it? Did Professor Dumbledore agree?" Harry hurriedly asked.

　　 "I can't find where Principal Dumbledore is. He doesn't seem to be in school, and no professor knows where he is going!" Sirius replied helplessly.

　　 Why is it so coincidental? Ivan was a little surprised, but soon figured it out.

As the principal, Dumbledore is not idle all day long without anything to do. It is impossible to spend the entire summer to fish in Hogwarts. In addition, there is not much time for the Horcruxes to calculate, I am afraid that it will be a day. Don't dare to waste.

　　 Maybe it's in Moody's home to persuade him to become the new Defence Against the Dark Arts class professor. It is also possible that the Ministry of Magic is discussing the upcoming Triwizard Tournament this year...

　　 "Then what shall we do now? Are you here waiting for Professor Dumbledore to come back?" Harry suddenly had no idea.

　　 However, Sirius didn't want to wait for a moment. Endless regrets scratched his heart like a brush. He looked at the house elf next to him and said straightforwardly.

　　 "No! I don't have the patience to wait, what if Dumbledore is not at Hogwarts all summer? So I plan to go there to see the situation with Kreacher and talk..."

　　 "You plan to go alone, what are you kidding?" Lupin interrupted Sirius excitedly.

　　 "Listen to me... Remus! I don't want you to take risks because of my personal affairs!" Sirius said solemnly, and then pretended to be relaxed and continued.

"Have you forgotten? Just now Kreacher said very clearly that the house elves can perform apparitions in that place without restriction, and I don't need to drink the potion, so there is no danger in being able to come back at any time! "

　　 "And then? How are you going to fish out Regulus' corpse from the cold bottom of the lake? Blessed head curse to dive into the lake?" Lupin said sarcastically.

　　 Sirius choked immediately, he was right to think so.

　　 But instead of jumping off recklessly, he used a potion to put himself into a half-dead state, so as to trick the corpse into salvaging Regulus' corpse.

　　 is a little bit more risky. Once discovered by a corpse in the lake, the consequences would be disastrous!

　　 So Sirius doesn't want Lupin to follow his own adventure...

　　 "You need my help, Sirius! We are best friends, aren't we?" Lupin looked at him firmly.

　　 Sirius and Lupin stood in a stalemate for a long time, and finally defeated, and said with a wry smile. "Well, my friend, if you insist on thinking so!"

　　 Seeing Sirius and Lupin, Ivan seemed to have reached a consensus, and for a while, he didn't know what to say.

　　 They are so courageous! The trap set by the Dark Lord himself, Dumbledore almost couldn't return with Harry, let alone them.

　　 Even if you don't drink potions, you can avoid the most dangerous traps, but a large number of corpses is a huge trouble.

　　 Ivan doubted whether they could pass the protective measures set by Voldemort and whether they could lift the boat in the lake.

　　 With Sirius and Lupin, they want to fish out Regulus's body, it is really hanging, and it is almost impossible to return...

　　 Thinking of this, Ivan said to the two of them. "If you must go there, how about taking me with you?"

　　 "Never!" Sirius shook his head without hesitation, and said with earnest consolation. "You are different from us, you are still young, you shouldn't take risks!"

"Sirius is right! Although your strength is far surpassed by your peers, you may surpass me in the use of some magic, but after all, you have insufficient experience with enemies and no experience in dealing with corpses..." Lu Ping is also polite. Persuade.

　　 They were ready to die there this time, but Ivan was only thirteen or fourteen years old this year, so there was really no need to accompany them to such a dangerous place.

　　 Ivan hesitated to speak and stopped, in fact, no matter how many corpses there are, there is no danger to him.

　　Because he has merged with Bogut's blood not long ago, he can completely become a corpse and mix in it, even if it is seen through, it doesn't matter, just become a basilisk and kill it!

　　 He has personally tried it. The thick skin of the basilisk is very hard. Only a powerful curse similar to Shenfeng Wuying can break the defense, not those corpses that can be scratched.

　　 No matter how bad it is, it can become an owl and fly in the air. Anyway, those corpses have no means to counter the air.

　　 It's just that bloodline magic is an inconvenient hole card~www.mtlnovel.com~ so Ivan is not easy to explain this. After thinking about it, he can only say it very hard.

"Professor Lupin, you really underestimate me! You know, I defeated the Dark Lord twice and destroyed three dangerous Horcruxes in a row. If you talk about the means of countering the Dark Lord, I'm afraid you two will add Not as good as me together!"

　　 Harry nodded, and in order to testify to Ivan, he possessed Voldemort in Kino when he was in the first grade. He wanted to steal the Philosopher's Stone, but was eventually defeated by Ivan.

"There is also Professor Lockhart who was bewildered by Horcrux in the second grade. I also noticed his abnormality and picked him out. I had a fight with the fifth-grade black demon and destroyed the imminent resurrection. That Horcrux!" Ivan also mentioned a little about his accomplishments.

　　 Although Ivan felt that these were things from the past, and winning was not very glorious, Lupin and Sirius didn't know the details, and they were completely shocked.

　　 Ivan had of course heard of two Defence Against the Dark Arts professors, but it was the first time they knew the hidden information.

　　 "Have you really beaten Voldemort? Or twice?" It took a while for Sirius to recover from the shocking news.

　　 As members of the Order of the Phoenix who experienced the last Wizarding War, Sirius and Lupin are very aware of the horror of the Dark Lord.

　　 They even had the honor to face Voldemort several times, the man just stood there, the vast magic power could suppress them out of breath!

　　 It has been so many years since Voldemort was "dead", but most wizards in the magical world still dare not call his name directly to get some clues...

So both Sirius and Lupin felt unbelievable after hearing the news.

　　 "Of course! But to be precise, I just defeated the remnants of the Dark Lord's soul and those haunting Horcruxes!" Ivan explained.

　　 He was not so big that he thought he could defeat Voldemort, he could only say that relying on the plot, he bullied the Dark Lord who had lost most of his power.

　　 "Don't belittle yourself, it's already amazing. I can't imagine that you could do these things when you just enrolled in school two years ago." Lupin said with emotion.

　　 Sirius was caught in hesitation. Although he knew Ivan's abilities were outstanding, but Ivan's age was so confusing that he couldn't persuade himself to let a little devil follow him to do such a dangerous thing.

　　 "If you are worried about my safety, you don't have to. I have enough ability to protect myself. Those corpses are not a threat to me. Instead, you should be worried!"

Ivan talked freely. He was so concerned about this matter. Not only was he worried about Sirius and Lupin's safety, but more importantly, he suspected that Dumbledore was not at Hogwarts during the summer vacation and was investigating Horcrux. !

　　 Maybe the target is the replaced Slytherin locket in the cave!

　　 Ivan doesn't want to hear about Dumbledore's death when the school starts next year. He is too weak now, and the magical world cannot do without the protection of the old professor.

　　 So it is necessary to go to that place to check.

　　 "As for my strength, you should know Sirius very well, don't forget who caught you in the first place." Seeing Sirius's delay in answering, Ivan couldn't help but spurn him.

　　 "Is there anything like this? Sirius, this is the first time I know that you have lost to a child?" Lupin turned to look at Sirius and said jokingly.

　　 "That's because I escaped from Azkaban. I was hungry for several days and didn't have a magic wand. Otherwise, I wouldn't lose!" Sirius's face turned black, and he defended strongly.

　　 But when I recalled the scenes in my mind, Sirius felt a bit wicked.

　　 Disguised as a **** dog with Animagus, even the patrolling Auror couldn't find it, but was picked out by a twelve-year-old kid. Where is the reason?

　　 In addition, Ivan's magic that can petrify people by looking at each other has always been fresh in his memory. It is simply powerful and unreasonable. Once he looks at each other, he can only be slaughtered.

　　 But sighing with emotion does not mean giving in. He always believes that it is best not to involve children in these dangerous things.

　　 Thinking of this, Sirius sighed, looked at Ivan and said.

"Well, if you are so confident, then we will have another match. If you can defeat me, I will agree to your participation in this action! Otherwise you have to stay here obediently, waiting for us to come back! "

　　 Sirius is not completely sure of winning, but he still wants to prevent Ivan from participating in this action.

　　 If he could avoid looking at each other in battle, he wondered that his odds of winning would be quite high...

　　 "Yes, when do we start?" Ivan agreed without hesitation, even a little eager to try.

　　 Since this school year, his strength has improved a lot. Zhengzhou does not have a suitable object to measure his level.

　　 Seeing how easy Ivan had promised, Sirius couldn't help feeling like he was underestimated, and even took everyone to the training room of Black House.

　　 After pushing a door open and entering, Ivan found that it was very wide, as big as a small stadium. All kinds of human-shaped targets are placed around, and the table is neatly stacked with many magic books, which can be consulted at any time.

　　 Sirius is also very proud to tell him that all the targets here are magically applied and will automatically evade and attack. It was here that he had practiced duel skills far surpassing his peers in his school days.

　　 "How about it? It's too late to admit defeat! Otherwise, you might have to suffer a bit..." Sirius raised his brows and looked at Ivan and asked.

　　 Ivan was too lazy to answer, and he drew a distance from Sirius and drew out his wand.

　　 Sirius immediately understood Ivan's meaning, and took out his wand.

　　 Lupin, as the referee, took Harry a little further away, and then motioned for the two to bow to their opponent in accordance with the etiquette of the duel.

　　 "Forget it! In a real battle, your opponent won't tell you when to start!"

　　 Sirius waved his hand. He didn't like this tedious duel etiquette, and before Lupin started counting, he hooked his mouth and waved his wand without warning.

　　 "For example-Expelliarmus!"

　　A red light beam flew out from the tip of the wand...

　　 Ivan had been prepared for a long time, raised his hand lightly, and then excited another beam of light to collide with the former.

　　 In the middle of the training ground, the collision of the two spells burst out with dazzling flashes, which melted into each other and broke into several small beams in an instant, venting their power in all directions.

　　 Lupin and Harry, who were affected, had to step back again, and used magic to construct several invisible protective barriers to be safer.

　　 "Professor Lupin, do you think Sirius will lose?" Harry couldn't help but asked as he looked at the two fighting on the court.

"Probably not..." Lu Ping said hesitantly, Sirius's strength can be ranked in the forefront of the entire Order of the Phoenix. There are dozens of Death Eaters who died in his hands alone, fighting. Very rich experience.

　　 But the opponent is Ivan, the little wizard he has never seen through, Lupin dare not be too sure, and Sirius has been imprisoned in Azkaban for more than ten years, and he does not know how much he can retain.

　　 Facts have proved that after more than ten years of imprisonment and torture, Sirius' senses have indeed become a little dull.

　　 Within a minute of fighting, due to an oversight, Ivan was hit by two consecutive spells. The iron armor curse blessed on his body suddenly shattered, and it took a few steps to stand firmly.

　　 "Fainted!" Ivan was overwhelmed, and another spell struck out.

　　 Sirius didn't have time to react at all, the beam of the spell was already in front of his eyes.

　　 At this moment, Sirius' body suddenly began to deform, his head was a lot shorter, and he evaded this curse dangerously and dangerously. When he landed again, he had already transformed into an Animagus form.

　　 Under the blessing of magic power, the **** dog is amazingly fast and extremely flexible, and ran directly towards Ivan.

　　 Ivan did not expect Sirius to use this method to avoid his own attack, but after a petrification curse on his backhand was easily avoided by the opponent, he simply pointed his wand and hit the floor in front of him.

　　 "Reducto!"

　　 The violent magic directly blasted a big hole in the floor, and the flying pieces of wood flew out in a semi-circular shape under the guidance of Ivan's wand.

　　 Sirius did not evade at all, allowing sharp pieces of wood to hit the whole body, scratching the fur to bring out bloodstains, even embedded in the flesh...

　　 "Sirius!" Harry was taken aback when he was watching, and he was anxious when he saw that Sirius was injured, even if he wanted Lupin to end the battle.

　　 However, Lupin shook his head.

　　 "Look well, Harry! Bleeding and injuries in battle are commonplace! Sometimes it is worthwhile to use some insignificant minor injuries to win a chance to defeat an opponent!" Lu Ping explained.

　　 But this refers to a real battle, and Lupin did not expect Sirius to fight like this in a competition.

　　Is it because I don't want to lose to a 13 or 4 year old boy, or is it because I don't want Ivan to accompany them on the adventure?

　　 Or maybe it's both... Lupin thought to himself.

　　 At this time on the training ground.

　　 As Lupin had expected, Sirius was using a strategy of trading minor injuries for victory.

　　Because of the previous encounters, Sirius found that he had no advantage in reflexes and control over magic.

　　 Then you have to be surprised if you want to be sure of winning!

　　 In fact, Sirius also did this. Now the distance between the two sides is very close, less than two meters apart. With his speed, he can completely subdue Ivan before the next spell.

　　 However, Sirius didn't have the slightest expression of joy on his face. He jumped forward and changed back into a human form in mid-air, counting silently in his heart.

　　 three...two...one!

　　 An irresistible resistance suddenly spread in all directions centered on Ivan, hitting Sirius directly, and blasting him out.

　　 "Faint!" "All petrochemicals!"

　　 Ivan didn't give up this excellent opportunity to chase, and within one second he played two consecutive spells, one against Sirius, the other blocked his turning.

　　 Sirius did not panic at all. When dealing with the black-robed wizards last summer, he saw that Ivan had used the ring of magic power, so this situation was already in his expectation.

　　 Or maybe he did so much just to force Ivan to use this magic item, so that there is a hint of victory!

　　 A few thoughts flashed through his mind, two beams of light had already hit him one after another, Sirius waved his wand, his body twisted and disappeared in place.

　　 "Except your weapons!"

　　 Behind Ivan, a voice rang.

　　 At the same time, Ivan activated the protective ring on his right hand, and the red light beam returned to the original path but hit the clearing.

　　Because Sirius is no longer there!

　　 "You used Phantom Shift just now? But I remember you told me that it's better not to use this in battle!" Ivan turned his head and asked curiously.

　　 "Yes, remember to keep this in mind. I was almost split up just now. Believe me, it's really a little bit!" Sirius said jokingly.

　　 There are some blood stains on his arms and chest, but it is not because of the apparition, but because of the broken stone and wood.

　　 Of course, Sirius did not deceive Ivan either. He was only half confident that he could successfully release the teleportation magic!

　　 Fortunately, he won the bet, otherwise he would be split, only half of his body would be sent over, and the other half would stay in place.

　　 Although the split won't die in a short time, Lupin and Ivan can help him pick it back, but he has no choice but to admit defeat in this battle.

　　 This is also the reason Sirius told Ivan not to use Phantom Transformation in battles, because most of the battles do not have the option of surrendering, and the opponent is not a fool, and will make up for it!

　　"!"

　　While explaining, Sirius did not neglect at all, waving his magic wand and summoning a large flame to sweep towards Ivan.

　　 "The wooden table is coming!" With a flick of Ivan's wand, the table leaning on the side flew over and blocked him, blocking the flames.

　　 However, Sirius was just a smashing curse with a single blow, and the wooden table blocking Ivan's body burst directly. Numerous wreckages were wrapped in hot flames, and they possessed more powerful destructive power under the control of magic!

"Tsk...you really can count on me!" Ivan stretched out his finger directly to the sink not far away, and with a pull, the water in the pool surged and continued to grow, which played a role in the transformation spell. The next condensation turned into a long snake and swept away.

　　 "Stop...stop!" Lu Ping shouted loudly. He didn't expect that just a small test would reach this point, and he even wondered if the current situation was out of control!

　　The two people who were intent on fighting didn't have time to pay attention to him. Ivan was very excited to match the spells he had learned, drew the water in the pool, and almost restored the magic that Professor McGonagall used to dominate the fire of the Forbidden Forest!

　　 The two powerful magics quickly collided and melted into each other, and the sound of sizzling reverberated in the closed training room.

　　 Thick steam rose up, and quickly spread and spread. From time to time, some wooden wreckage would fly out of the dense fog and hit the surrounding walls.

Lupin had to strengthen the protection again, and he was relieved after using the obstacle spell several times. He kept staring at the direction where Ivan and Sirius were ~www.mtlnovel.com~ but it was covered by fog, and there was nothing to see. Up.

　　 Harry who was watching was also very anxious, he kept shouting for Ivan and Sirius but didn't get any response.

　　 In the diffuse mist, Ivan looked around, wondering if Sirius also applied magic in the mist. The mist became very dense and visibility was very low.

　　 "Is it to limit my snake eyes?" Ivan muttered to himself, and he couldn't help but sigh that the other party is indeed an elite of the Order of the Phoenix, with rich combat experience, and he has been able to act correctly both times.

　　 once forced himself to use the magic ring, this time it was mostly aimed at the eyes of the snake.

　　 After all, deliberately avoiding the opponent's eyes in battle is uncomfortable. With this layer of fog, you can avoid your sight and launch an attack from any angle.

　　 Even though Sirius had guessed his subsequent reaction twice in a row, Ivan was not discouraged. He knew very well that he was indeed weaker than Sirius in combat experience.

　　 Every previous battle has been unfavorable because he deliberately avoided his own weaknesses, gave full play to his strengths, and used the peculiarities of blood magic to win surprisingly!

　　 And Sirius had seen him use magic rings and snake eyes before. With the opponent's combat acumen, he would naturally be able to crack them one by one.

　　 Just like now, the eyesight of both parties are greatly reduced, but the sensitive dog nose can help Sirius to confirm his position, so as to gain the advantage.

　　 Ivan couldn't help but raised the corners of his mouth. This time Sirius is afraid that he will miscalculate. Normal people need to use their eyes to determine the direction in the thick fog, but it is a pity... he is not a normal person!

On the other side, Sirius once again transformed into the shape of Animagus, constantly changing its position, sniffing vigorously in the thick mist, and various scents spread to his nose.

　　 But because of the fight just now, the air is full of the burnt smell of the wooden table when it is burned. It is not easy to accurately distinguish the various smells.

"Well, Lupin and Harry are about ten meters behind... weird, where is Ivan?" Sirius muttered to himself. He ran over with the smell still in the air, only to find that there was no one here. , I can only guess that Ivan may have stayed here.

　　 Just as Sirius hesitated, his hairs suddenly exploded, and a warning sign appeared in his mind.

　　 Without any hesitation, Sirius followed his instinct and rolled a few laps forward.

　　 At the same time, a crimson light beam flew out from the thick fog on the side, hitting where he was originally standing, and exploded a small hole in the wooden board.

　　 Sirius' face changed, and before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw more light beams flashing out of the thick fog.

　　 Sirius was sweating coldly, and he could only rush all the way in the opposite direction, changing his position from time to time, trying to get rid of Ivan with Animagus' excellent mobility and re-hidden in the thick fog...

　　 What Sirius did not expect was that Ivan could always find him the first time no matter how he changed his position.

　　 At first, Sirius thought that Ivan was judged by his running sound, so he simply changed back to a human form and cast a spell to cause some noise to interfere.

　　 But even so, it didn't help. Ivan was able to find him the first time, hiding in the thick fog and throwing a few spells over.

　　 "It's impossible? How did he know where I was?" Sirius was exhausted, but couldn't figure it out. He quickly dodged and was hit by a red light beam.

　　 The wand in his hand suddenly dropped out and flew into the mist in a whirlpool, while his body fell heavily into the pile of debris behind.

A wooden sign that fell to the ground next to 　　 was instantly activated into a long rope, which was rolled up silently, tying Sirius tightly.

　　 At this time, Ivan walked out of the thick fog, stretched out his hand to catch the flying wand, and then looked at the **** Sirius and said with a smile.

　　 "It looks like you lost this time, Sirius!"

"Okay! That's right!" Sirius tried to break free, and found that the rope was tightly bound, and noticed that Ivan had been pointing his wand at himself without any slack, but he nodded helplessly. .

　　 After Ivan released his restraint, Sirius got up from the ground grinning.

　　 "The scar is healed!" Ivan shook his head, stepped forward and put his wand into his wound, using healing magic.

　　 The green fluorescence flickered on the top of the wand, and the torn wound on the arm quickly healed under the action of magic.

　　 "You can even heal magic?" Sirius was very surprised, he really wanted to ask if there is anything this little wizard can't do.

　　 "It's always okay to learn more, isn't it?" Ivan casually explained, after repairing a few wounds, he suddenly frowned, because some wood chips had been embedded in the wounds in the previous battle and could not heal directly.

　　 Ivan had to cast a spell to tear the wound larger, and pick out those sharp pieces of wood and gravel...

　　 Sirius breathed in painfully, but after hearing the sound of approaching footsteps, his face suddenly became very calm, only when the corners of his mouth twitched from time to time, it could be seen that he was enduring the pain.

　　 Ivan looked at Sirius who changed his face unexpectedly, and then saw the worried Lupin and Harry running over.

　　 "Sirius! Are you okay?" Harry hurriedly asked, looking at the injuries on Sirius's arm and chest.

"It's okay, it's all minor injuries. It's normal to get injured in the battle!" Sirius waved his hand, pretending to be completely indifferent, and then his face twitched, but it was Ivan who was sharp. The gravel was picked out of the meat.

　　 But he barely broke his face and didn't make a fool of himself in front of Harry.

"You are too risky! You even used that level of magic in a competition, do you know what the consequences will be if you lose control?" Lupin was a little angry while worried, and he couldn't help but reprimanded. .

　　 The intensity of the battle just now exceeded his expectations. This could be described as a life-and-death fight, so when he realized that the battle was over, he rushed over with Harry as soon as possible.

　　 "Don't say that, Remus! Of course we can control our own magic... Isn't it all right?" Sirius replied in a slightly embarrassing voice.

　　 He has been in Azkaban for more than ten years, and it has been a long time since he has experienced such a hearty battle. He accidentally fought a little.

　　 In addition, Ivan's strength greatly exceeded his expectations, forcing him to use some powerful magic to increase his chances of winning.

　　 Lupin shook his head helplessly, and didn't mention the matter again.

　　 "Who has won this competition?" Harry asked curiously.

　　 "Sirius, you won't be defeated again, right?" Lupin looked at the embarrassed Sirius and Ivan, whose clothes were tidy and calm, as if he had a guess.

　　 "Yes! As you can see, I lost again!" Sirius shrugged helplessly, "By the way, Ivan, how did you judge where I was before?"

　　 "It's just a little magic of exploration!" Ivan casually explained.

　　 In fact, he used blood magic to become a bat, and used ultrasonic positioning to determine Sirius's movements.

　　 But Ivan is not going to expose his bloodline magic. This time he has gained a lot from the battle. While absorbing Sirius' fighting skills, Ivan is also deeply aware of the importance of hiding the cards!

　　 His own snake eyes and magic ring had only been used in front of Sirius a few times, and Sirius found a way to restrict them.

　　 And the reason why he was able to easily defeat Sirius was also relying on the bloodline magic Bogut transformation that was not known to the opponent.

　　 It is precisely because it is not clear that Ivan can turn into a bat and use ultrasound to locate, Sirius will make the wrong decision to obscure his vision with dense fog...

　　This made Ivan understand a truth, as long as there are enough cards in his hole, no one can beat himself!

　　 The Sirius on the other side saw that Ivan was reluctant to say more, and did not ask much. He kept his promise and agreed to Ivan's participation in the rescue of Regulus' corpse.

　　 "What about me?" Harry asked anxiously.

　　 "You have to stay home and wait for our news!" Sirius patted Harry on the shoulder and said.

　　 "You can all go together, but I have to stay here and wait for you to come back?!" Harry said unwillingly.

　　 "Harry! This action is too dangerous, you students shouldn't have participated in it." Lupin said a few words of comfort, then looked at Ivan, and said again.

　　 "Ivan proved his strength by defeating Sirius, and he won't be able to hold us back by then. Are you ready to give it a try?"

　　 Lupin said this just to make Harry get out of trouble, but unexpectedly saw Harry nodded solemnly.

　　 Sirius's face suddenly turned black. It was true that he lost to Ivan, but that didn't mean that his strength was very weak. He had to let Harry know how good he was!

　　 Harry thought hard about the dueling skills he had learned in the second-year duel club, and even seriously agreed on tactics.

　　 He heard Professor Flitwick in the curse class that even the most powerful wizard would lose his wand if he was under the disarming curse... it's not that he has no chance of victory!

　　Unfortunately, it turns out that no amount of ideas can make up the gap between strength and combat experience. After only a few rounds of fighting between the two sides, Harry was confiscated by Sirius.

　　 Harry had to give up the idea of ​​going with him in frustration.

　　 Ivan on the side looked at Harry, who was easily defeated, and shook his head secretly. If Harry spends more time to learn on weekdays, he won't be defeated in two or two.

　　 After all, Harry's foundation is still very good, the talent of protective magic is very high, and the reaction ability that he has cultivated as a Quidditch player for many years is also applicable in battle.

　　 fought two battles with one defeat and one victory, and Sirius became sober a lot.

At least it's not like it's going to be the same as before to go to the cave and fish out Regulus, but to discuss specific countermeasures with Ivan and Lupin, and let Kreacher buy some potions by the way. The materials come.

　　 Until the evening, the prepared few people took the potion they had just boiled and were ready to go.

　　 Lupin suddenly remembered something, and said to everyone with some worry. "We have three people now, and if Regulus is added, it will be four. If something happens in that cave, will Kreacher bring us out together?"

　　 Sirius immediately realized this, and immediately looked at Kreacher and waited for his answer.

The old house elf hesitated for a moment. Although it was able to escape from the dangerous cave twice in a row, it obviously felt a huge barrier when casting teleport magic, and it consumed more magic power than usual. less.

　　 So if you want to ensure absolute safety, I am afraid that you can only take one person at a time and move everyone away in four times.

　　 Thinking of this, Kreacher did not conceal anything, and truthfully told the truth.

　　 After listening to Kreacher's account, Sirius and Lupin were a bit worried, and the risk of this operation has increased a lot.

　　 "Why don't you call another house elf over here?" Ivan felt unsafe, thought about it, snapped his fingers, and greeted him.

"More than!"

　　 As soon as Ivan's words fell, an ugly house elf with flashing big eyes appeared in the open space in front of him.

　　 "Dobby is at your service, do you have anything to order? Sir!" the house elf said loudly, looked around curiously, and greeted Harry happily.

　　 Harry nodded awkwardly in response. The previous meetings with Dobby hadn't left him a good impression. Instead, he had pitted him several times in the second grade, which Harry had always remembered.

"This is Dobby, I want you to go to a place with us, and cooperate with Kreacher to bring us all out when needed..." Ivan briefly introduced the matter. As for the more specific, He was going to explain on the way.

　　 Dobby agreed without hesitation. Although it is an employment relationship with Ivan in name, it is actually no different from a slave. The only difference is that it can get some insignificant salary every month...

　　 "This is your house elf?" Sirius looked at Dobby very surprised.

　　 Generally speaking, only the family of prominent pure-blood wizards from the ancestors can have a house elf, and the Hals family is obviously not among them.

　　 "No, I hired Dobby. It used to belong to the Malfoy family, but now it's free!" Ivan shook his head and explained.

　　 "Yes, gentlemen, Dobby is now a free elf! The kind Mr. Hals has hired Dobby and is willing to pay one silver sicor a week!"

Dobby spoke proudly, then turned his head to look at Ivan, he was very moved, and he was crying, and it choked up and continued to say~www.mtlnovel.com~ and Mr.... Mr. gave it to me last year. More than a day's holiday. Oh my god! Mr. Hals is such a great man! "

　　 Sirius, Lupin, and Harry all looked at Ivan with weird gazes, embarrassing the latter, wishing to block Dobby's mouth with the Silence Curse.

　　 Dobby's words made Ivan feel like Zhou Peiping, and Dobby was his slave long-time worker, and he was very grateful to him.

　　 But before Ivan could explain, an angry scream suddenly rang.

　　 "You are simply a shame!"

　　 The old house elf Kreacher trembling, looked at Dobby angrily, as if staring at an enemy.

"Dirty, humble betrayer! You should be ashamed! Qualified house elves do not need wages and vacations! No house elves will abandon their masters," Kreacher said sharply and very hoarsely. Ugly.

　　 "Dobby doesn't think so. Dobby is a free house elf. It needs salary and vacation!" Dobby said without being knocked down by Kreacher's words.

　　 I have heard similar words hundreds of times at Hogwarts, and I can't shake his thoughts at all.

　　 Kreacher was almost mad. It opened its mouth and wanted to continue to refute, but was stopped by Sirius.

　　 "Enough, Kreacher! Ivan is Dobby's master... Oh, I mean the employer, this is between them!" Sirius said.

　　 Kreacher stopped talking, but everyone could still vaguely hear Kreacher muttering something.

Ivan didn't expect Dobby and Kreacher to meet, and he would have such a big contradiction. He immediately wondered if it was the right choice for him to summon Dobby.

　　 Kreacher emphasized that the house elves would not abandon the words of the owner, which surprised Ivan.

　　 If he remembers correctly, Kreacher betrayed Sirius in the original time and space, and indirectly led to the death of Sirius. This is obviously not right with what it said.

　　 Unless the original space-time Kreacher does not recognize Sirius as his master at all!

After all, Sirius was ousted from Black's family tree by his mother decades ago. He is not an orthodox heir. If members of the Black family were either dead or locked up, Sirius would not have the turn to inherit the family business.. .

Kreacher was forced to obey Sirius' orders due to the constraints of the rules. Most of his heart did not approve of this relationship, so he deliberately leaked the news and killed Sirius, hoping that Bellatrix was in Sirius. Become your own master after death...

　　 Fortunately, the situation is different now. If Regulus's body can be successfully fished out of the lake this time, but Kreacher's wish, such a tragedy should not happen in the future...

　　 While thinking in his mind, Ivan did not forget to restrain the two house elves, Dobby and Kreacher, and ordered them not to have any more conflicts during this operation, so as not to delay business.

　　 Of course Dobby will not violate Ivan's orders.

　　 And Kreacher considered that the action was related to Regulus, so he calmed down. Although he looked at Dobby as if he was watching a pest, at least he didn't curse in his back.

　　 "Sirius, it's very late now. If we don't want to act in the dark at night, we'd better hurry up!" Lupin looked at the sky outside and reminded him involuntarily.

　　 "Okay, let's go now!" Sirius didn't want to delay for a moment, so Kreacher took them to the destination.

　　 Only Kreacher has been to the cave here, and they must be carried by Kreacher to be able to teleport to the exact location.

　　 In order to save magic power, the teleportation was divided into two. Kreacher first took away Sirius and Lupin, and when it came back, there was already a little sweat on his forehead.

　　 "Need a break?" Ivan asked worriedly.

　　 "The house elves don't need to rest, sir!" Kreacher shook his head hastily.

　　 Ivan only noticed that after destroying the Horcrux, Kreacher's attitude towards him changed drastically. Instead of the disgusting and disgusting appearance at the beginning, there was a little gratitude in his words.

　　 Ivan smiled, stretched out his hand, and held Kreacher together.

　　 Dobby on the side also stretched out his hand.

　　 Kreacher's face showed a look of disgust, as if he had been stimulated, he screamed loudly. "Go away, don't touch me, you annoying bug!"

　　 Dobby slumped his ears, stretched out his hands and looked a little at a loss, Ivan had to take the initiative to hold Dobby, and then ordered Kreacher to apparate.

　　 Accompanied by a whirl of heaven and earth, when Ivan came back to his senses again, he was already standing in an unfamiliar place, which seemed to be on the edge of a cliff, facing the sea with no view of the edge.

　　 The salty and wet sea breeze slowly blows by, bringing a trace of coolness, and the sound of waves hitting the rocks is constantly echoing in my ears.

　　 Sirius and Lupin are not far away, discussing something.

"Why don't you take us directly into the cave?" Ivan looked at Kreacher strangely. He thought that Kreacher would take them with a whistle and teleport directly to the place where Regulus was dragged into the water by the corpse. .

　　 "Kreacher can't feel there directly, sir!" the old house-elf gasped slightly, and said very frustratedly.

　　 Ivan nodded, it seemed that Voldemort was applying some shielding magic there.

　　 "Kreacher, how should we go now?" Sirius interrupted the conversation between the two, looked at Kreacher and asked.

　　 "Just go in from there, and you'll be there for a while!" Kreacher turned his head, pointed to the narrow crack under the cliff on the right, and replied.

　　 "What are you waiting for? I'm going to find the way first, and you all follow me!" Sirius took the wand in his hand in his mouth and jumped directly into the sea without a word, swimming towards the dark crack.

　　 Ivan stretched out his wand and nodded his head, blessed himself with a head-foaming curse, and jumped into the water to follow.

　　 A few people went straight through the pitch-black gap and walked along the narrow dark roads on both sides. The surroundings were getting darker and darker, and only the weak light could shine through the gap behind them.

　　 It took about a few minutes to swim like this before swimming to the end. Ivan struggled up the steps and was wet all over, which was very uncomfortable.

　　 "Lus~" Sirius' voice sounded not far away, and the dazzling white light spread in all directions with the wand as the center, illuminating everything around him.

　　 Everyone realized that they were in a closed cave. The surrounding rock walls were covered with silt and green moss, which looked very desolate.

　　 "Are you sure this is it? Kreacher?" Lupin looked around, there was nothing but stones in the cave.

　　 The old house elf nodded, but after more than ten years, it only remembers that the entrance needs blood to open, and the location of the secret door is in the front, but it has forgotten where it is.

　　 "Shall we try it? Since Voldemort is protected, it will not be easily broken!" Ivan thought for a while and suggested.

　　 "Good idea!" Sirius did as he thought of it, and immediately waved his magic wand to shoot out a few beams of light, hitting different positions on the rock wall in front, exploding one after another.

　　 "Fall apart!" Ivan was also helping, but this time the magic didn't work, and the spell hit the stone wall but disappeared without a trace.

　　 Sirius and Lupin laughed, it seemed that this was it!

　　 Ivan stepped forward, looked at the uneven stone wall in front of him, and thought of the scene where Dumbledore was sensing and probing in the original time and space, and tried to touch it gently with his hand.

　　 The wall of the cave is very rough to the touch. Ivan input some magic power in, but he is turned away. Nothing is strange from the outside.

　　 This made Ivan a little disappointed. The magic that Voldemort exerted on it was very clever, and he could not see through it.

　　 If he is not familiar with the plot and has Kreacher's guidance, he will definitely not be able to crack it...

　　 Ivan sighed in his heart that the slight complacency brought by the defeat of Sirius before was left behind. Now it seems that there is still a big gap between himself and the Dark Lord in his heyday.

　　 "Ivan, what are you doing?" Sirius and Lupin looked at Ivan's movements strangely, and asked suspiciously.

　　 Ivan then came back to his senses, looking at the two people who were puzzled, their expressions unchanged, and casually replied. "I'm exploring the movement of magic power. Since some magic has been cast here, there will always be some traces left!"

　　 "Can you detect the traces of spellcasting by perception alone?" Lupin did not doubt Ivan's words, but looked at him in surprise.

　　 "I didn't expect you to have grown to such a level!" Lu Ping was also a little ashamed while feeling, he estimated that he would never reach such a level in his life.

　　 Ivan was embarrassed for a while, he actually didn't perceive anything just now, he just learned from Dumbledore to say so casually.

　　 "Ahem...then the key to open this door should be blood, who are we?" Ivan couldn't stand the gazes of Lupin and Sirius, so he quickly coughed and changed the subject.

　　 "Use Kreacher's blood!" The old house elf stood up excitedly, grabbed a sharp gravel from the ground, and was about to cut his wrist.

　　 But just then Lupin reached out his hand to stop Kreacher's behavior.

　　 "Stop, Kreacher! You have consumed enough just now, and you will have to take us out with Dobby later. You need to maintain enough magic and physical strength!" Lupin said.

　　 "Then use me..." Sirius stepped forward, but was interrupted by Lupin before he finished speaking.

"No! Sirius, neither can you. The magic you want to use later also requires a lot of blood, so I'll do it this time! Don't forget, my recovery ability is better than yours!" Lupin was very positive. Speaking firmly, then he put the wand against his wrist.

　　 The next moment, a dim light lit up on the tip of the wand.

　　 Sirius had no time to stop it, and a large amount of scarlet blood flowed out of Lupin's wrist, as if guided by magic, it followed the dark stone wall upstream and dyed it bright red.

　　 "Remus! This is my business from beginning to end, you don't need to do it like this!" Sirius sighed, and looked at Lupin, who had lost too much blood and his face became paler, and felt very uncomfortable.

　　 Kreacher sobbed in a low voice, now Lupin reminded him of Regulus...

　　 That day more than ten years ago, it was here that he kept begging Master Regulus to use his own blood to open the stone gate, but it was rejected by the young master...

　　 Ivan watched the steady flow of blood, and was drawn out by magic from the wound on Lupin's wrist, frowning involuntarily.

　　 When Dumbledore cracked this level in the original time and space, he probably didn't use so much blood...

　　 Still referring to the sacrifices Voldemort requested, not only blood, but the magic contained in blood. Lupin's blood quality is far inferior to Dumbledore, so he needs to consume more?

　　 But it's right to think so.

　　 If it weren't, Voldemort wouldn't sacrifice his subordinates when he hid the Horcrux, just grab a Muggle, why not risk exposure and ask Regulus for a house elf as a victim.

　　 The blood transfusion lasted for a while, and a dazzling white light suddenly appeared on the stone wall, and the white light was vaguely visible in the shape of an arch.

　　 The remaining blood was gradually absorbed in, and the entire cave was slowly shaking. The secret door in front was opened, revealing a doorway, which was very dark and couldn't see anything.

　　 Ivan immediately stepped forward to cast a healing spell and healed the wound on Lupin's wrist.

　　 But due to a lot of blood loss, Lupin's face was pale and scary, and his body swayed before standing still.

　　 "Are you okay? Lupin?" Sirius hurried up to support him, and asked worriedly.

　　 Lupin shook his head, saying that he had nothing to do.

　　 "Let's leave now... I'm not sure how long this door will be open!" Lupin reminded.

　　 Sirius became more guilty, patted Lupin's shoulder solemnly, and then strode into the open door with his wand.

　　 Ivan followed behind Sirius and walked in. There was another cave behind the cave. The whole mountain seemed to have been hollowed out, and the interior space was amazing.

　　 In front of them was an extremely wide black lake, and they couldn't see the opposite shore at a glance. They were standing on the shore now.

Ivan couldn't help but approached a few steps forward, crouched down and brought the luminous wand close to the lake. The white light was reflected in the dead lake below, but it could not penetrate, only a dark patch underneath could be seen. ...

　　 "The water quality here is terrible, I am afraid it will be difficult to see things if we go down..." Ivan stood up anxiously, lowered his voice as much as possible, and said softly.

To be honest, knowing that there are countless corpses underneath, you have to sneak in to fish for corpses~www.mtlnovel.com~ That's what a fool can do, but unfortunately, he has to take it this time. Fool.

　　 Sirius also felt deeply worried, which was more difficult than he had originally imagined.

　　 gurgling...

　　 The quiet lake surface suddenly heard the sound of gurgling water. In the faint fluorescence from the extension of the magic wand, pale and rotting hands stretched out from the dark bottom of the lake, covering the entire lake...

　　 Ivan and the others who saw this scene shuddered in chills. They all knew that there were definitely a lot of corpses, but they didn't know how many corpses were.

"How many people did Voldemort kill?" Ivan looked at the pale arms densely distributed like lotus roots in a pond wherever he could see, wondering if Voldemort had killed a Muggle town, otherwise it would be impossible to make such a huge one. Legion of corpses.

"Quick, drink it! This kind of potion can hide our vitality and make us look like the dead in a short time." Sirius's face changed, and he hurriedly took out a few bottles of dark green potion from the pocket of the wizard robe. Distributed to everyone.

　　 Lupin, Kreacher, and Dobby did not hesitate to follow the order and took it. Ivan also took a bottle, opened the stopper of the potion, and poured it in one mouthful.

　　 The entrance of the dark green potion is very bitter, as if it was expired and forgot to put the sugar in the coffee. After swallowing it, the stomach was burned by flames, and it was painful.

　　 After a while, the pain gradually disappeared, and a icy feeling spread throughout his body. Ivan felt the blood in his body as if frozen, and even the heartbeat became very weak...
