Because he had just become a father, Ted didn't want Sirius to be too stressed. He didn't say anything about his brother for the time being.

But the Horcrux affair should be sooner rather than later.

This kind of thing must not be allowed to be done by others, Ted can't believe it.

So, he used his puppet butler, Barty Jr.

During this time, Barty Jr. was reforming and adapting to himself, while closely monitoring and investigating the Death Eaters who had escaped punishment by various means.

In fact, there are quite a few such people.

In the original book, there were many Death Eaters like Malfoy who were at large.

In the original book, Voldemort had just been resurrected, and he used the Dark Mark to summon Death Eaters, and there were twenty or thirty people coming!

These are pure-blood wizards, and they're much smarter than those Voldemort diehards.

Many of them did not reveal their true identities in the first place, acted not so arrogantly, and did not participate in those big cases that were too shocking.

It's just a lot of paddling, just like going to work. So after the fall of Voldemort, it was also easy to cut.

After all, they are all the pillars of pure-blood families, so they can't all be put in prison, right? Half of the British wizarding world was shattered.

Besides, it's just a wrong political investment and taking sides, even if Voldemort loses, don't you Dumbledore have to need the help of the pure-blood family to support the entire wizarding world?

Forget it with one eye open and one eye closed.

However, in Barty Jr.'s eyes, these people are potential enemies.

Because as long as Voldemort returns, these people will gather around him again. This kind of thing is not even involuntary.

Mark the Dark Devil and it will be impossible to defy Voldemort again.

Do you think Voldemort's whole tattoo looks cool? That's a powerful means of mastery, and it's also a powerful means of punishment.

Although Voldemort has not yet appeared, he will inevitably return to England.

If he's making any moves now, these would-be Death Eaters are bound to have small moves.

Although Barty Jr. was not very old when he joined the Death Eaters, he had an advantage in strength and IQ, and was still very favored by Voldemort.

In fact, Voldemort trusted a brainwashed young wizard like him even more.

So, Barty Jr. knows a lot about their former colleagues. Now we are collecting their information, living habits, and so on. If you need it, you can catch it all in a short time.

Originally, little Barty was not a soft-hearted person, not to mention that now there is no human flesh and blood and seven emotions and six desires, so it is even more indifferent.

Barty Jr.: Join the glorious evolution~

Now, his little master had given him a task, and he immediately put down everything else at hand, took those magic items and alchemical potions, armed to the teeth, and took advantage of the night to appear near the old mansion of the Gaunt family.

Ted, on the other hand, takes advantage of his contractual relationship with Barty Jr. to observe everything around him through his eyes.

However, in the dilapidated old mansion, Barty Jr. tried his best to find the ring Ted wanted.

But it wasn't without his gains, he found a dark compartment under the floor, and there was a small box that used to contain a small thing, but was no longer there.

"The traces are new, my host. Half a year at most! Barty Jr. said.

"yes, I see." Ted Road.

Taking a deep breath, Ted gathered his thoughts.

The most likely is that the Resurrection Stone Ring of the Gaunt family was taken by Voldemort.

He must have been in England a few months ago, and he probably hasn't even left now.

Moreover, he began to collect Horcruxes. It's not like he's used to it.

You know, in order to ensure that he can be resurrected, he finally divided seven or eight Horcruxes.

Eggs can't fit in one basket, so Voldemort never put these things together.

So, why is he taking the ring away now?

Sure enough, Voldemort, who was resurrected early, brought huge variables.

"Look around, go to that Riddle mansion."

Nearby there is an old house in the family, which is the mansion of Voldemort's father's family.

I don't know what stimulated the Gaunt family back then, and suddenly isolated themselves and stopped coming into contact with other wizards. Then the marriage of inbreeding began......

So much so that by the time Voldemort's mother's generation, people had already begun to be deformed, and their minds were not normal.

In this way, her father and brother still controlled her, did not allow her to leave, and wanted her to marry her brother.

And Voldemort's mother fell in love with her neighbor not far away, the tall, handsome and golden Young Master Riddle.

Although self-isolating, he is a wizard after all, and he is a family of ancient traditions.

Voldemort's mother taught herself to make an aphrodisiac and found an opportunity to give it to Master Riddle.

Then they both eloped.

About a year later, Voldemort's mother became pregnant, and she began to not want to get love through this drug control, she felt that after being together for so long, she must already have feelings. And I have a child!

A little honey confidence!

As a result, Young Master Riddle, who had been cut off the medicine, suddenly woke up, and thought about it again - my mother, what a nightmare!

A terrible woman who is very ugly and even a little deformed, and a little mentally incoherent and incoherent, gave herself a bottle of medicine, and made herself fall in love with her as if she was controlled by the devil, and eloped with her!

Riddle ran away the same day and ran home.

And the desperate Voldemort's mother has nowhere to go, she definitely can't go home. And the mental blow was too great, and he died after giving birth to Voldemort.

Before or just after Voldemort graduated, he discovered the mystery of his origins.

Honestly, it's a shame!

He became the kind of half-breed he looked down on the most, and he was born under that circumstances.

It is estimated that his mentality collapsed at that time.

He killed his father's family, then went to the nearby Gaunt house to kill his grandfather and uncle, and made a Horcrux out of the family ring, where he hid at the time.

……

The two places are not too far away, less than a kilometer away, and soon to the Riddle mansion.

As a result, as soon as he arrived at the gate, Ted's brow furrowed.

Through Barty's eyes, he saw that the rusted lock of the door was open.

The Riddle family was wiped out decades ago, and then lived in the homes of several masters and was abandoned. Now it's called a haunted house.

Supposedly, there must have been an old man who lived in a small hut not far away.

In this case, the lock on the door should not be opened.

Little Barty dodged into Riddle's dilapidated manor, his form disappearing into the darkness.

He moved stealthily and soon spotted a blur of the ground where someone had walked a few months earlier.

Finally, a relatively obvious footprint was found, but fortunately the temperature has been low in recent months and there has been no rain, otherwise it would have washed away.

Through the analysis of footprints, Barty Jr. determined that the owner of the footprints was an old man of about 1.75 meters, weighing about 160 pounds, and a bit of a loop......

Ted had roughly guessed who it was, but he didn't say anything.

Little Barty was carefully embedded in the door, which was hidden and there was a slit.

Little Barty stretched out a hand, and some small bead-like things fell from under the mechanical arm, but there was no sound when it landed, but instead stretched out eight legs as slender as silk, turning into a simple puppet spider, quickly crawling into the crack of the door, and exploring around.

After a few minutes, Barty Jr. found a door to the living room.

"Someone has used a powerful spell here, and it feels like the Dark Lord's handiwork."

Barty Jr. also found a broken old flashlight by the wall.

It seems that the old man who fought the shift has met with misfortune.

"Look around and see if there's any strange traces." Ted commanded.

Maybe he was more proud, so Voldemort didn't deliberately erase his traces. You can still see the footprints.

But Ted didn't find the traces he wanted to see.

First of all, there is only one person.

It's not like in the original book that Voldemort had Pettigrew, or some other servant.

Secondly, there is no trace of any snake crawling.

If there is a large python, it will inevitably leave crawling marks on the ground covered with thick dust.

In the original book, Pettigrew escapes from school and runs all the way to Albania, where he finds Lord Voldemort, who possesses a critter.

Then he made a potion out of the cursed blood of a unicorn, Nagini's venom, etc., and restored a deformed baby-like body, half resurrected.

However, because Barty Jr. took Ryan to take him away from Albania ahead of time and helped him fully resurrect, he didn't meet Nagini?! And what about the last Horcrux?

"No need to look for it, go back." Ted cut contact.

The Resurrection Stone Ring was taken by Voldemort in advance.

What about the locket?

There is no rush in this matter.

First of all, it's useless to be in a hurry.

If Voldemort had already taken the fake locket, he wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

Secondly, even if he recovers a few Horcruxes, he and Lao Deng may even have to add Grindelwald, and the three-on-one advantage is in me~

Besides, the cave only knows about the sea, but it doesn't know where it is. I still need to look for it.

Even if you're in a hurry, you won't be able to go for a while.

The next day Ted contacted Lupin with some simple information and asked him to help find a cave.

The only clue is that Voldemort, who was still in the orphanage, once abused a child here, even pushing him into the sea and almost drowning. It is also because of this that the cave in this cliff was discovered.

Therefore, the location of the orphanage was very important.

Lupin deserves to be a detective in London, and he is very skillful.

It only took one day to find the cave in the cliff.

Lupin: "I found the orphanage, but it was bombed during World War II and destroyed ......"

"However, even if it had been destroyed by the war, the cave would not be far from here. Just find the nearest coastline and search. ”

Lupin's work is really reassuring.

Now, Ted and Lupin stood on the edge of a mountain with a huge pillar.

As far as the eye can see, there are black reefs, and there are no caves. This place is hidden by magic, and if you don't break it, even if you go up and touch it, it's a stone.

Lupin tightened his jacket to resist the sea breeze, and said in a deep voice, "I feel a trace of unusual magic fluctuations here......"

His eyes were a little gloomy: "I inquired that a few decades ago, there was an ordinary people's village nearby. But overnight, everyone was gone. Later, the village was abandoned. ”

He probably guessed what was going on with the vanished villagers.

In fact, if a powerful dark wizard does evil, it will be an irresistible disaster for ordinary people.

Ted hesitated to tell Lupin about the specifics.

Sirius had just gotten a precious son, had just tasted the happiness of being a father, and clumsily took care of his son.

But Lupin is also a newlywed, not long after!

And in the original book, in the seventh-grade war, both husband and wife died, leaving behind a newborn child.

Do you want to tell him yourself?

But even if you don't talk about it now, how long can this kind of thing be hidden?

Voldemort is already on the move, even Grindelwald is a professor at Hogwarts, and ...... This world is being eroded by other worlds all the time, and something strange comes to this world every day.

…… Happiness is a bit too rare.

"Ted, what's wrong?" Lupin asked.

Ted didn't speak.

"You've been acting very mature, not even like a kid. I know you have your own plans, but even if you don't treat us as adults, you should treat us as friends. Whatever happens, don't carry it alone. ”

"Okay." Ted smiled, "I hope you don't regret it." ”

"That's what it's about, it's about the Dark Lord's ......"

Ted spoke eloquently, starting from the beginning, for ten minutes.

Lupin scratched his head with a tangled expression, "To be honest, I do regret it a little. I regret not asking you sooner and leaving you alone with this stress......"

Ted gave him a blank look, "What do you think?" I'm not going to take this alone, Dumbledel, let him bear it. ”

"If it weren't for the fact that he had dealt with those other school troubles recently, Lao Deng, whose worried hair had started to fall out, I wouldn't have cared about this kind of thing."

Lupin had long known about the multiple faces on the back of Quirrell's head in the first grade, so he wasn't too surprised by Voldemort's resurrection.

After hearing about the Horcruxes and their effects, he understood why Voldemort was able to resurrect him.

"Although I can understand that you understand Sirius, he just became a father. But it's his brother after all, and I think he has the right to know. Otherwise...... He's too pathetic. ”

"Okay. I contacted him. ”

About half an hour later, Sirius, his house-elf Kreacher, and Dumbledore arrived.

Naturally, this kind of thing can't be left behind by Dumbledore, lest he become suspicious. Besides, with Lao Deng here, he can still be a thug.

Didn't use Lao Deng to deal with this old-fashioned hidden magic, Ted transformed the magic power with an alchemy circle, destroying the magic effect. A huge cave was revealed.

"Follow me!" Dumbledore drew his wand and took the lead.

Ted took a special look, the oddly shaped, and the old wand of the knots.

Don't say it, the wands are all straight now, but they have no character.

……

The cave went deep into the cliff and walked for a while before it opened up.

However, there is no road in front of you, but a very large pool.

A small battered boat was leaning on the shore.

"Shall we row over?" Sirius spoke urgently. He had been in tears since he had heard what Ted had said about his brother. At this moment, my eyes were already swollen.

He felt a pain in his chest, a heart-rending pain.

His only brother, who had always thought he was obsessed, disappeared.

I didn't expect, I didn't expect it to be like this. He fell in this cold cave......

Kreacher, the elf of the house, on one side, had wept silently, and fell to his knees on the shore, unable to stand up.

The little master could have let him drink the poison, but he chose to sacrifice himself.
