People in Hogwarts, holding scripts and systems

Chapter 291 He Has a Lion's Heart

Lupin hugged the struggling Sirius from behind, and Avro took the opportunity to take the Slytherin locket.

"Aphrodite, put it aside. This thing seems to have some magic." Molly said anxiously.

While everyone was looking after and observing Sirius, Afro threw the locket into the system space.

After a few minutes, Sirius gradually came to his senses and looked at everyone blankly.

Seeing that his expression was the same as usual, Lupin let him go.

"What happened after you came back?" Lupin continued.

"Master Regulus was very worried." Kreacher said hoarsely, "He told Kreacher not to leave the house... After a while, he asked Kreacher to take him to the cave..."

As Sirius listened to it, he pictured his brother before his eyes. He could clearly picture the frightened elf and a Seeker like himself.

Kreacher knew how to open the portal, how to summon the boat...

"He asked you to drink the poison?" Sirius said with disgust. In his impression, the Dark Lord's subordinates always liked to torture people like this.

Kreacher shook his head and cried, while Molly, Hermione, and Ginny quickly covered their mouths.

They seemed to understand something.

"Master Regulus prepared a similar box." Kreacher said, tears streaming down his cheeks. "He said the stone basin was empty, so he replaced it..."

The whimpering sound turned into a sharp cry. Sirius didn't know what he was thinking, he just stared at it with both eyes wide open.

"What did Regulus tell you?" Avro said gently.

"Not telling the mistress what he had done... and destroying the box..."

"Poor Kreacher!" Hermione cried and wailed. She wanted to hug the poor elf, but Kreacher dodged her.

Molly twisted the corner of her clothes to wipe the tears from her eyes, and Ginny also sobbed twice.

Lupin, Fred and George stood there silently, with endless sorrow in their hearts.

Sirius clenched his fists, his eyes still staring, "But you didn't destroy it! Why?"

"Whatever Kreacher does, don't leave any traces on it..." The elf groaned while lying on the floor, and began to repeat what Regulus had told it.

"Do you remember the location of the cave?" Afro squatted beside it and wiped away her tears with the back of her hand. "Kreacher, can you take me to the cave once?"

As soon as she finished speaking, all the sounds in the room disappeared. Not only did Kreacher look up at her, but even the others looked over in confusion and surprise.

"Xiao Afu, what do you want to do?" Molly wiped her face roughly, walked hurriedly to her side, and held her arm tightly, afraid that she would do something stupid.

"The things in the cave are fake. There's no need to go there again."

Afro did not answer their questions, but just stared at Kreacher motionlessly, "Let's bring him back."

Kreacher hiccuped for a few minutes and slowly calmed down. He adjusted his sitting position with some effort and rubbed his eyes with his hands.

"What did Miss Aphrodite say?"

Aphrodite smiled at it and held out a hand, "I say we go take Regulus home."

Sirius stood up silently, and although he hadn't spoken a word, Lupin and Molly knew that he also wanted to go find his brother.

Maybe it was because of the truth that happened many years ago, or maybe it was because of my past frivolity.

Kreacher took his hand away from his eyes and looked up at Afro. He slowly put his dry, wrinkled hand into hers and nodded at her.

"We want to go too!" said Fred and George together.

"Didn't you hear what Kreacher said? The boat can only carry two people across." Hermione said.

Molly stopped the two eager teenagers and said, "Wait here."

Then, he turned to Afro and the other two and said, "Go ahead."

Lupin suggested telling Dumbledore about this.

But Sirius and Molly were afraid that Voldemort would discover the fake things in the cave at any time, so they decided to set off now.

This time they not only want to bring Regulus back, but also get the fake locket back.

Afro followed Sirius to a dark and difficult-to-see room on the second floor.

There was a wooden sign hanging on the mottled door, with neat handwriting on it: "Do not disturb without special permission from R.A.B!"

A sense of familiarity spread through Afro, "Percy should really come over and see him. If he knows Percy, they will definitely become friends."

Sirius laughed twice, and the bitter smile didn't match his wooden face.

"Regulus." Sirius pushed open the door, his heavy steps slowing his movements. "I should have thought of it earlier."

He paused for a moment and continued, "I knew he was dead a long time ago, but..."

Aphrodite didn't know how to comfort Sirius, but it suddenly occurred to her that Regulus' name had another meaning.

"Although he is not a Gryffindor student, he has a heart of a lion."

"You're right, I hope we can find him."
