"But it still feels like there's something wrong there." Catherine touched her chin and pondered, "Professor, you didn't destroy those eyes, did you?" ”

"Of course not." Snape's face had reverted to its usual grim expression.

"When I go back to school, I want to take a look and do some research." Catherine had a dozen ways to deal with it in her mind.

"After the holidays, you should enjoy the holidays now." Seeing Catherine's frowning appearance, Snape couldn't help but reach out and caress her forehead.

Warm fingertips swept across the cold skin, Catherine felt as if her brain had been burned all at once, and what she was thinking about flew to that corner, unable to catch up at all, and other thoughts seemed to be driven away, leaving only this strange feeling lingering in her mind.

"What's going on inside?" As if sensing Catherine's strangeness, Snape lowered his hand and shifted the subject.

As soon as the cold wind blew, Catherine's mind suddenly became clear again, and she waved her wand and arranged another layer of magic to prevent eavesdropping, before she whispered: "I accidentally discovered Regulus last night. Mr. Black's whereabouts, who had only gone to bring his body back in the morning, were now holding a funeral. ”

"What?" Snape exclaimed, and hurriedly asked, "How did he die?" ”

"See for yourself! Use the Dementor Charm! Catherine closed her eyes and began to remember last night and what had just happened.

Snape hesitated for a moment before pointing his wand at Catherine's forehead and whispering, "Dementor." ”

Snape's eyes were not jumbled images, but clear and organized memories that even the best of Occlumency could not do, as most people did not have the memory of Catherine.

Catherine showed her experience and only concealed what was going on in the spirit world, but after reading it, Snape's face still became ugly.

What Voldemort did was completely beyond his imagination, the locket that could see through people's hearts. It's almost the same as last year's crown, but after Dumbledore took the crown away, he couldn't figure out why, the pair of eyes that Catherine sent last night, Snape didn't notice anything unusual after research, otherwise he wouldn't have used blood magic to see who it belonged to.

"You're hiding something from me." Snape stared into Catherine's eyes and asked in a deep voice.

"Yes." Catherine didn't dodge, "It's the same thing I said last time. ”

"A locket is the same thing as a tiara?" Snape tried to ask.

"And the diary, they were all painstakingly crafted by the Dark Lord." Catherine replied sternly, "It's just that they have lost the function he added and restored to their original appearance." ”

"After you made contact?" Snape frowned.

"Yes. And," Catherine smiled wryly, "my strength increases after each contact. She lifted her left hand, and Snape immediately noticed an anomaly in the ring's color.

"That's it! You still won't sue me? Snape asked angrily.

"You already know so many clues, even if I don't say it, you can find out with a little more effort, so it's just a waste of your time to hide it. It's just that there is a real yàn. I haven't done it yet, and I want to sue you together after I'm done. ”

"When?"

"At least get Easter."

Thinking that there were only three months left, Snape couldn't help but take a deep breath and suppress his anxiety.

"Don't push yourself too hard!" Snape reached out and ruffled the ends of her stray hair. Catherine's breathing couldn't help but become unsteady. "Rest well!" He smiled lightly and waved his wand to undo the magic around him, "I'll go back to Hogwarts first!" ”

Catherine bowed slightly, and Snape vanished away.

Catherine looked at the place where he had left for a moment. Then he reached out and pulled out a locket from his pocket, it was the same one that Regulus had left in the stone basin, and it was crudely forged. Not large enough, lacking floral signs, and lacking the ornate "S" markings characteristic of Slytherin, it is easy to open, and there are no eyes inside, just a folded piece of parchment tightly tucked into the place where the portrait is placed.

Catherine broke out in a cold sweat at the sight of the parchment, and she couldn't believe how she could explain how easily she had been able to dispose of the Horcrux last night if anyone else had seen it.

Catherine took a deep breath, put away the parchment, returned to the house with Regulus's locket, and handed it to Kecelli.

As soon as the old elf saw the locket, he let out a howl of surprise and bitterness, and then collapsed to the ground and wept bitterly.

Wizards who grew up in the wizarding world looked at Catherine with strange eyes, but she simply walked back to Harry and Draco, leaning against the wall and falling into deep thought, and then at Dobby, who was unusually neatly dressed, before shaking her head and forgetting the red-haired girl's strange attitude towards house-elves.

A wizard with a family heir, after his death, the family heirloom on his body will automatically return to the family, like Sirius's cousin and uncle, although the bones are gone, but the Black family still held a funeral for him after confirming his death, and the inheritance of Regulus came back 14 years ago, but Walburga refused to believe that his son died just as an adult, and died unexplained, so he only erected a monument, but did not hold a funeral.

However, the cause of Voldemort's death could not be made public, so Sirius, Narcissa, and Andromeda waited until night to quietly go to the family cemetery and bury Regulus's ashes in his tomb.

The cemetery was not safe at night, and the children had to stay at home just in case, and Tonks wanted to go with him, but his parents refused to let her go with him on the grounds that the Auror training was not over, and the six adults worked together to cast protective magic to ensure that no one could leave the Black family mansion until they returned.

"I'm 22 years old, why do you always treat me like a child?" Tonks slammed the door hard and roared in displeasure in the hallway, her wand had been taken away by her mother just to prevent her from breaking down.

"Age is never a sign of a person's strength, you can't even beat Harry and Draco together, let alone me!" Catherine was leaning against the wall staring at the teacup in her hand, which staggered to a height of about two inches before falling to the floor with a "choking" and turning into a pile of debris.

"When did you become the ninth order?" Draco looked at the fragments of the teacup in shock, although it was said that wandless magic was the sign of the eighth order, but when using wandless magic at the eighth order, he still had to make a gesture to wave his wand first, and only when he reached the ninth order could he cast true wandless magic.

"Not yet!" Catherine once again focused her magic power on the fragments of the teacup, and the fragments left the floor and flew into the air to regather into the shape of the teacup, and the cracks began to slowly disappear, but when the teacup was about to return to its original state, it shattered again, and turned into a pile of fragments scattered on the red-haired girl's hand, "There is still one last step." ”

"Oh my God! Catherine! Why are you working so hard! Harry was dumbfounded, and then complained loudly, "I finally reached the sixth order, and you are almost to the ninth order, how can you let me chase it?" ”

"The third year is only the sixth order, and if you were a Slytherin, you would have been expelled." Draco said contemptuously, knowing in his heart that Harry's strength was definitely not as low as he said.

"It's not all! It's almost the seventh order! Harry raised his left hand, and the others came over to see a six-petaled black rose on the ring.

"I'm sorry, I'm almost at the eighth order." Draco triumphantly stretched out his left hand, and the silver-headed black pit viper that emerged from his cuff, the seven rings around its neck had turned golden.

"How many steps are there, how do you count them?" Tonks asked curiously.

"You want to know?" It was a portrait of Walburga that spoke out.

"Yes!" Tonks nodded quickly, "I haven't been clear about what my strength is?" ”

"It's easy, Kechelli!" Walburga shouted, "Go ahead and get the box." ”

Cutcelli was stunned for a moment before hurriedly leaving, and Draco looked thoughtfully at Catherine, only to find that she was still laboriously repairing the broken teacup.

After a while, Kechelli reappeared in the foyer with a silver-green box carved with an unusually delicate pattern that wound around the center of the lid to form the family coat of arms of the Black family.

"Drop a little blood on the coat of arms, and you can know your strength." Walburga walked the way.

Catherine was still concentrating on repairing the teacup, Draco opened his mouth and finally didn't say anything, and Harry, who was curiously looking at the box, since there was no one to explain, Tonks thought it was just a tool to test his magic, so he boldly scratched his finger and dripped blood on it.

A black light flashed, and the box popped open, revealing a very delicate black pocket watch with the coat of arms of the Black family, Tonks curiously picked it up and found that it was densely covered with delicate snake scales, and she couldn't wait to open the pocket watch, and immediately saw a very next year Cancer sign on the back of the cover.

"Seventh-Order Peak! I didn't expect your strength to be bad! Draco couldn't help but exclaim, he knew exactly how much water he was missing.

"Cancer represents the seventh order, so what about these pointers? Why are my parents' names named? Tonks looked at the surface of his pocket watch in bewilderment, wondering why the circle around it was not a number representing time, but black and white and seven colors, and even more so why the hands with his parents' names pointing to green.

"I've seen similar settings when I was on Fifth Street in New York," Harry saw that he knew it, and immediately explained to Tonks, "each color represents a level of danger, white is safety, and black is an irresistible natural disaster." Looks like the cemetery is really dangerous. (To be continued......)
