Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Locket Appears

"It's going to take time, too!" Dumbledore reminded.

"Then it's a two-pronged approach, we tell Voldemort through the Daily Prophet that we have the Golden Cup in our hands and that he must understand what we mean. We're all on the same page, and we're back on the same page. Aitch said methodically.

At this time, Lupin also remembered, "That locket box seems a little familiar!" ”

Everyone's eyes suddenly focused on him, and most of them covered their mouths, "Really?!" ”

"All I can say is maybe." Lupin wasn't sure, "Ask Harry, I remember Sirius did a big cleaning when he first moved in. ”

"And then there's a locket of the same style in the living room."

When Lupin said this, Harry was thinking, "But I remember no one could open it, and Sirius just threw it in the trash." ”

Harry's words made everyone feel disappointed.

"That's right......," Dumbledore retracted his pessimism, "Voldemort knows the whereabouts of the locket from Sirius, and it is likely that he will use him to blackmail us into handing it over, and Sirius's safety is not to worry about for the time being." ”

"But the loss of the locket is also a big problem, and we have to arrange for someone to find it." Dumbledore added.

"I'm not busy with these things, and right now, I think we should change headquarters." Aitch thinks Blake's house is no longer safe.

"Because of the fall of Stoicie and Blake, this place has been exposed. Although there is the protection of the Loyalty Charm here, Voldemort doesn't need to come in, as long as we arrange for people to surround this place, we have a battle to fight. ”

The proposal passed unanimously, but where to go?

This is a big problem. The headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix had to be secluded and secure enough to accommodate the big guys coming and going.

At the same time, you also have to consider the problems of the large number of underage wizards around you, they still have traces on them! Changing to a place far away from the wizarding world is like a fire in the night sky, once Voldemort has a person in control of the Ministry of Magic, it is easy to find a string.

"So be it! While the summer vacation is not over, let's take a seat in Hogwarts and then find a suitable place. "Dumbledore has come up with a plan to solve the urgent need, Hogwarts is completely safe during the summer vacation, and it is perfect for the effect of shielding traces.

Under Dumbledore's command, the Order of the Phoenix began to divide the work, and Mr. Weasley went to Minister Fudge and mobilized the Ministry of Magic to investigate Voldemort, the Death Eater who gave elves; Dumbledore went to contact the Daily Prophet in order to catch tomorrow morning's release; Mrs. Weasley took the others to pack the Order of the Phoenix and Harry's belongings.

When it came time to "move", there was another problem, and Hermione heard that there was an old elf in Black's house who was going to take him with him.

"It's not safe here, Kreacher." Hermione tries to convince him to go to Hogwarts with her.

"Filthy mudbloods!" Kreacher screamed, "Let go of Kreacher! He wants to be with Blake's noble house forever. ”

"Ignore him, Hermione." Harry carried his suitcase down the stairs, "He's sick in the head. He also often recycles some garbage, in his dilapidated cupboard. ”

"What! How can you do this to him! Hermione was angry at Blake and Harry's treatment of Kreacher.

"Wait, Harry, you said he would pick up trash?" Edge, a spirit.

Aitch crouched down, "Kreacher, answer me, did you pick up Regulus's locket as well?" ”

Kreacher looked at Aitch contemptuously and said nothing.

Harry's heart raced and he looked down at the elf, "Answer him." ”

But Kreacher didn't look at him, and didn't seem to hear Harry speak, and in normal times, if Blake wasn't there, he wouldn't have been.

"Hurry up! This will help us rescue Sirius. Harry's words were punchy, but to no avail.

Kreacher said in his bullfrog-like voice, "It is better for the master to die outside, so that the mistress can die blind." Kreacher can also change owners, and it would be even better if the owner of Bellatrix Lestrange was willing to take Kreacher's allegiance. ”

"Okay, looks like I'm going to ask in a different way." Aitch retracted his warm smile and straightened up, looking down at Kreacher. At this time, he acted like an aristocrat, and in Hermione's eyes, he was as annoying as Draco.

There was a look of contempt and criticism in Edge's eyes, "I, heir of Slytherin, command you to answer every question I have next. ”

This was something Kreacher had not expected, how could he have known that the little cub whom his uncompetitive master wanted to please would be the heir of Slytherin?

You must know that the Black family has always claimed to be the descendants of Slytherin, which can be seen from the fact that Regulus was able to come up with a Horcrux-like locket.

And so, Kreacher relented. He bowed, his nose down to the floor, and showed the same humility as Ciel had seen Aitch. "My lord, Kreacher is willing to serve you."

Hermione was furious and was about to accuse Aitch, but Harry stopped her. "Please, Hermione, think of Sirius."

"Kreacher, answer me," Aitch asked him, "there's a Slytherin locket in the living room, and Blake and Harry have thrown it away. Did you steal it back? ”

After a moment of silence, Kreacher straightened up and looked at Edge's face. Then he replied, "Yes." ”

"Where?" Aige took a deep breath and kept his heart beating. "Give it to me."

Kreacher disappeared with a snap, and then there was another firecracker, and he handed over a pendant.

Harry jumped to his feet excitedly, and Aitch used the Patronus Charm to send Dumbledore a message that the locket had been recovered.

The next morning, the Daily Prophet broke the news that Hogwarts had recovered Hufflepuff and Slytherin Legacy items. In the attached photo, Dumbledore has a big smile on his face, holding the gold cup in one hand and the locket in the other.

In a nobleman's estate, a magic struck Dumbledore's photograph and tore the Daily Prophet to shreds.

Voldemort's anger began to subside, and behind him, Sirius lay dying on the ground. Peter fell to his knees, shivering, and he frightened Voldemort at his atrocities against Sirius.

"Peter," Voldemort suddenly shouted, causing Peter to shudder. "Take Blake down, he can't die right now."

Dumbledore's statement was not just a demonstration, but a warning: if Dumbledore and the others found Sirius dead, then Voldemort's two Horcruxes would also be buried with him.
