Chapter 1002: Conjecture
In fact, Van Lin would now prefer to bring Harry, the living radar, so that the whole process would be much easier.
Van Lin first searched for Regulus's bedroom, which was still as he was when he was alive as the boy of the beloved Black family.
This may have been the credit of Kreacher, for before entering the door, Van Lin had found traces of Kreacher on the door panel.
However, the expected Slytherin locket did not stay there properly, and Van Lin spent an hour dealing with Regulus's room, but found nothing.
Perhaps Kreacher did not intend to let his little master continue to bear the pain.
But where can a house-elf hide things?
"What are you looking for?" Hermione looked at Van Lin, who had just restored the room to its original state, with some strange eyes.
"I don't know, it's just speculation. "I suspect there may be one here...... A Horcrux. ”
"Horcruxes, at the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix?" Hermione asked, surprised, "Are you sure you're not ......?"
"Oh, I'm not lying to you, Hermione. "It's not a joke, I have some evidence, it comes from Regulus......"
"Regulus, who is he?" asked Hermione, "the owner of this room?"
"That's right, the youngest child of the Black family, Sirius's younger brother, and a Death Eater. Van Lin said.
"Death Eaters, but what does this have to do with Horcruxes?" Hermione asked, "He also escaped from Azkaban......?
"Oh no, Hermione, he's dead. "The one who was killed by Voldemort, in fact, Regulus wanted to rebel against Voldemort for a long time, just like Professor Snape, but he died too soon. ”
"What do you mean?" Hermione walked in, "You mean, he stole Voldemort's Horcrux?"
"That's what I mean. Van Lin said, " In fact, as the heir of the Black family, their cousin Bella is not counted, Regulus should be the most important in Voldemort's place, but he died early, judging from the degree that Voldemort needed support at the time, this is something that should not have happened at all, and Sirius said that Regulus is missing, then Regulus will either talk about it or die, and Mrs. Black's attitude you can also see, if it weren't for Sirius's son, the Black family would not have been in Sirius's hands at all. Then, as the legal heir of the famous British Black family, no matter what the reason, killing will definitely not be the best choice. ”
"But you said he was killed by Voldemort...... Hermione asked with a frown.
"Possibly. Van Lin said as he hurried to Kreacher's room, "Actually, that should be true, Hermione, if Regulus hadn't died, why hadn't he shown up in the twelve years since Voldemort's fall, or did he know from the beginning that Voldemort would return?" The Ministry of Magic is obviously not a problem, looking at the Malfoy family, there is a lot of manipulation in this, Fudge simply has no ability to force the heir of a large family to disappear in more than ten years, so the most critical point is still on Voldemort's body. ”
"You mean, it's possible that Regulus discovered Voldemort's secret?" Hermione's eyes lit up.
"Ah, I think ......," said Van Lin, and walked into Kreacher's room.
Like a normal house-elf, Kreacher's room was as dirty and gray as ever, and apart from the clutter in the distance, the only thing that belonged to Kreacher was a bed made of a pile of broken cotton wool.
Truth be told, it's not as good as Hogwarts elves, at least Hogwarts elves still have enough to eat, and they can roam the school at night.
But Kreacher could only stay in the old house, and he could not leave without the master's orders, but could only stay here.
However, one thing can be guaranteed, as long as it is not a freak like Dobby, it is impossible for a house-elf to disobey the orders of the master.
So where is Bella......
Kreacher couldn't have died, and Van Lin had learned about house-elves, a creature that lived long enough that a house-elf could serve a wizarding family for at least three generations if there were no external influences.
So there is no doubt that Kreacher should have gone to Bella, Malfoy Manor, or, just stayed here?
There was a faint spread of magic in Van Lin's palms, and he didn't want to rummage through the garbage-like debris.
"What are you doing?" Hermione asked, somewhat puzzled, as she saw Van Lin get up and leave, "That's Kreacher's room." ”
"I know, I'm just trying to find Kreacher. "There's no one who knows this house better than a house elf, does he?"
"Oh, by the way, where did you just go?"
"Regulus discovered Voldemort's secret. Hermione said.
"Oh, yes, that's right, there's no doubt that Regulus discovered Voldemort's secret," Van Lin repeated, "So, now think about it, what secrets does Voldemort have to discover, except for those terrible dark magic, it seems that nothing other than Horcruxes can reach this level." ”
Van Lin said, exiting Kreacher's room.
Regulus's room didn't have it, Kreacher's room didn't, but a house-elf could hide things there, and he could steal them from Mundungus and sell them to Umbridge.
"So you think it's very likely that Regulus had clues to the Horcrux, and even stole the Horcrux?"
"That's right," said Vanlin, "a bold idea, but it's always going to be tried, if it's not because of the Horcrux, then why hasn't Regulus shown up for more than ten years, he's dead, or find a place to hide, I'm more inclined to the former, no one can take the Horcruxes away around Voldemort, so, Regulus must have a clue about the Horcrux in his hands, or, he has succeeded." ”
"Did you ever think that he failed......" Hermione asked.
Belch......
The house was suddenly filled with an awkward atmosphere.
You can't tell Hermione that he knows there's a Horcrux hidden here, right?
"Oh, well...... "we always need to try, then...... Where do you go next?"
