Chapter 831 Bertha Jorkins
It turned out that not long after joining the Death Eaters, Regulus began to waver in the way of the Death Eaters, but he was still unwilling to resist other Death Eaters and Voldemort.
One day, Voldemort proposed to Regulus to use his house-elf, Kreacher.Regulus considered it an honor and gave Kreacher to Voldemort.
Voldemort used Kreacher to test the safety of his Horcrux hiding place, and then left alone, leaving Kreacher alone in the cave.
And Klitsch, remembering Regulus' order to let him go home, apparated back to Black's old house before drinking the potion and before the Inferi dragged him to the bottom of the lake.
And told Regulus everything that happened.At this moment, Regulus discovered that the locket that Voldemort had hidden before was a Horcrux, and realized that this was the secret of Voldemort's immortality.
This incident became the fuse for Regulus to decide to betray Voldemort.
What happened afterwards was as Anduin had guessed, Regulus made a replica of the locket and ordered Kreacher to take him to the cave where the real locket was hidden.
What's touching is that Regulus chose to drink the potion himself in the cave, because he knew that only Klitsch could escape from there.
So he chooses to sacrifice himself, and orders Kreacher to take the real one and put the fake back, leaving him alone to find a way to destroy the Horcrux.
After hearing the whole story, Sirius slumped on the sofa as if deflated, while Krich even lay on the floor and cried, as if he had lost his soul.
Even Anduin couldn't help feeling that it was admirable for Regulus to take the initiative to sacrifice himself at such a critical moment. He could obviously give up Kerry.
After a while, Anduin looked at Kricht again, "Where is the real Horcrux now?"
"I locked it in the closet in Master Regulus' room. It's all because of Krichtsch's uselessness. After so long, I couldn't completely destroy that Horcrux."
"But Klicer really tried his best. Klicer burned it with fire and smashed it with stones, but that strange locket still didn't move at all." Klicer said this, and couldn't help but rushed to the fireplace and used a fire stick. self harm.
But at this time, Sirius grabbed Kerry with quick eyes and quick hands, and at the same time cursed at him, "Regulus told you to come back, not to let you abuse yourself like you are now, your life!" He gave it to me, let me be sober!"
Apparently, after hearing what Kerry told about the past, Sirius' attitude towards him also changed. This is the person who devoted his trust to his brother at the last moment of his life.
Anduin saw that Sirius finally regained consciousness, so he left the living room in peace, and found the locket in Regulus' bedroom.
Anduin breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the last Horcrux was included in the bag.
Two days later, in the cemetery in Godric's Hollow, Sirius and Anduin held a small-scale funeral for Regulus, and Klicer, Harry, and Dobby attended one after another.
During this period, Klicer was even more sad than Sirius. In fact, two days ago, when Anduin showed Regulus' body to the other party, Klicer was very excited.
The only good news is that the relationship between Sirius and Klicer has eased during this period, and now Klicer is finally no longer the same as before, with sarcasm in and out of words.
However, according to Anduin's guess, the reason why Klicer became so extreme before may also be influenced by the Horcrux.
After staying with Horcruxes for so long, it is strange that the brain can become normal.
"How about it, what's next?"
In front of Regulus' tombstone, Anduin came to Sirius and asked softly.
"I just want to see Voldemort die right before my eyes!" Sirius murmured with red eyes, obviously he just cried again at his brother's grave.
"They must pay the price, whether it is Voldemort or those Death Eaters!"
Sirius repeated it again, looking intently at Anduin.
"To be honest, I was a little hesitant about your plan to wipe them all out before, but after experiencing what happened to Regulus, I want those bastards to be destroyed more than you do."
"So, some dirty things shouldn't be allowed to exist in the world." Anduin nodded slightly, and then looked at Klitsch in the distance, "What about him? I just heard from Dobby that you have been with Klitsch terminated his employment?"
"I asked Klitsch's opinion before. He wanted to stay by Regulus's side forever and guard his spirit for the rest of his life."
Sirius looked at the house elf who had looked hideous in his eyes before, his eyes were full of melancholy.
"In terms of feelings for Regulus, Klicer may be deeper than me. He has been living because of pain all these years. This is the first time Klicer has made a request to others in his life, so I decided to fulfill him. .”
"Of course..." A smile suddenly appeared on Sirius' face, "I really can't bear to live with him any longer. He's been more talkative than before these two days."
Seeing Sirius showing this state, Anduin knew that he had basically got over Regulus' sorrow.
Of course, it may also be the reason why Sirius chose to hide this sadness deeper in his heart.
After dealing with Regulus' funeral, Klicher bid farewell to everyone and settled in Godric's Hollow Cemetery ever since.
However, in order not to scare the Muggles who live here, Anduin specially prepared an alchemy item with a confusion spell for Klicher, which can deflect the sight of non-wizard creatures and make them think they are looking at him. It's actually empty.
And Sirius took Harry back to 12 Grimmauld Place.
Among them, the happiest is Dobby, who can finally give Black's old house a thorough cleaning.
As for Anduin, he returned to his base camp with the few Horcruxes he harvested during this period. He planned to use this summer vacation to study them carefully and try to see if he could destroy the soul without destroying the objects. device.
Because these things are the relics of the founders of Hogwarts, they are proper antiques, not to mention that they are items made by the founders, and they all have their own functions.
Not to mention the Ravenclaw crown that is said to increase the wisdom of the wearer, the abilities of the other two items are also quite interesting.
Hufflepuff's gold cup can change the water poured into it into various wines, beverages, and even condiments such as soy sauce according to the user's wishes. It can be said to be quite practical.
This also shows Hufflepuff's love of life and cooking, and even the magic items made are related to cooking.
The ability of another Slytherin locket is related to healing. The wizard wearing it can slowly repair the wounds on the body, and even has certain anti-aging and beauty effects.
In fact, Anduin discovered when he came back from Ifrmony School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, although Slytherin has always presented a sinister and treacherous image.
But he himself is a highly skilled physician, and he even runs the school infirmary of Hogwarts. In fact, this can be seen from the healing effect of the snake wood after it has transformed into a tree.
Although the effectiveness of these items is not very useful to Anduin, they still have some research value. It is a pity to destroy them like this.
But just when Anduin returned to the base research institute, he found a strange woman lying in the laboratory hall, and Hogg and Shalltear beside her were whispering something around the woman.
"Cough cough!"
Anduin coughed twice, waking up the two who were lying on the ground studying the strange woman.
"Who is this, and why did he appear here inexplicably?"
The two people who were startled by him turned around immediately, and Hogg was the first to answer, "My lord, we picked up this woman from Albania."
Picked it up?Anduin hadn't figured out what nonsense Hogg was talking about, but Shalltear next to him continued to add.
"My lord, do you still remember what you told us to monitor Voldemort before? Hogg and I have been following that old guy all this time."
"Recently, he has transferred his soul out of the Horcrux and parasitized it on a mouse. He escaped directly from England and hid in the Albanian forest, where he found Peter Pettigrew!"
"Huh?" Anduin was overjoyed when he heard the words, "Is there a clue about Peter Pettigrew?"
"That's right!" Hogg nodded and continued, "We followed Voldemort and quickly locked on that guy. Voldemort seems to have his own method to lock those Death Eaters. Maybe it has something to do with the Dark Mark on them."
Anduin nodded when he heard the words, "This is similar to my previous guess, but I didn't expect that Voldemort would be the first to find Peter. I thought it would take more effort."
"But..." Anduin looked at the figure on the ground with some hesitation, "What does this have to do with her? Could it be that she is also a Death Eater?"
"No, this guy is just unlucky!" Shalltear laughed happily, "After we locked Peter Pettigrew, we divided into two groups to monitor them separately."
"And this witch seems to have recognized Peter Pettigrew's identity in Albania, and she planned to follow him perhaps out of curiosity!"
"However, her tracking skills are so bad that she was almost spotted by Pettigrew several times. In order not to startle the snake, I knocked her out and brought her back. Now Hogg and I are debating whether to take her Wake up and ask questions."
"So that's how it is..." Anduin nodded knowingly, it turned out that he met someone who was almost in the way, but after he glanced at this woman, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have seen her somewhere.
"Huh? This person seems to be from the Ministry of Magic? I seem to have met her several times in the Ministry of Magic before." Anduin couldn't help muttering.
"Ministry of Magic?" Shalltear and Hogg couldn't help but look at each other in embarrassment when they heard the words. They shouldn't cause trouble, why did they kidnap people from the Ministry of Magic? trouble.
"Yeah." Anduin nodded, "But her position shouldn't be particularly high. I know everyone above the director level of the Ministry of Magic. If I remember correctly, she... seems to work in the Department of Magical Sports. Forget it, wake her up and ask."
"Yes!" The two breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that they were not high-ranking officials, and then shook the witch awake.
I don't know if it's because of Shalltear's heavy hand. After waking up, the witch still looked dazed. After rubbing her eyes for a long time, she finally saw Anduin in front of her.
"You... you are? I remember you... who are you?" After seeing Anduin, the witch first showed a puzzled expression on her face, and then she suddenly looked enlightened, and then became confused again.
Seeing the other party's bewildered state, even Anduin wondered if Shalltear had knocked her out of her mind.
"I'm Anduin Wilson, the owner of Silver Flash Trading Company, an old friend of your Ministry of Magic, do you remember? Do you remember who you are?"
"Ah! That's right!" The witch's eyes widened as she suddenly realized, "It's Mr. Wilson. I often hear Director Bagman and Director Crouch mention you. I am Bertha A. Jorkins."
Anduin couldn't help being speechless when he heard the words. He was sure that he had met the other party several times in the Ministry of Magic. Why did the other party act as if he had just met him?
You must know that in the entire British wizarding world, there may be people that Anduin doesn't know, but there are really only a handful of people who don't know him. Just the magical influence of the time he killed Voldemort last year is enough for everyone to recognize him. looks.
"Just remember what your name is. Two of my subordinates happened to bump into you in Albania when you fainted, so they brought you back. Do you remember what you were planning to do there?"
Anduin could see that Bertha Jorkins's mind seemed to be a little out of control, so he made up a reason casually, trying to see if he could get away with it.
"Ah? Is that so? That's really embarrassing..." Bertha got up from the ground, and her mind seemed to be a little brighter than before.
"I thought I was just forgetful at first, but I didn't expect to have an inexplicable fainting problem. I really thank you for your help." Bertha smiled and nodded slightly at Shalltear, making Shalltear a little embarrassed.
"As for my going to Albania..."
Bertha paused for a while, as if she was trying to remember, before continuing after a while.
"I remembered that I was on vacation in Albania. Some time ago, I was always doing a disservice to the preparations for the Quidditch World Cup. Director Bagman specially granted me a long vacation to let me relax."
"But..." Bertha seemed to be recalling something again, and she hesitated in her words, "Before this, I remembered that I seemed to see a wanted criminal who had disappeared for a long time, and I was about to follow up to see who that guy was. For a while... I can't remember clearly."
