Take control of thunder and lightning from Hogwarts

Chapter 829 RAB
"Is this Voldemort's last Horcrux?" Sirius circled the stone basin twice, carefully inspected the locket, and at the same time cautiously did not act rashly.

He is still very self-aware of himself, facing this kind of strange mystery, which is still something left by Voldemort, he dare not use it casually, if he does not help, it will cause trouble if it does not help.

"That's right, this is Slytherin's locket, now we have to find a way to get it out." Anduin's eyes shone with a light silver brilliance, apparently spying on the secret of the stone basin.

"Do you have any clues?" Sirius was very confident in Anduin. Although the current infiltration environment was very stressful, he was still very calm.

"According to the results of the analysis of the spell, the Horcrux must be revealed by drinking all the potion in the stone basin." Anduin pointed to the shells used to scoop water beside the stone basin.

"Can't you just pour the potion out?"

Sirius picked up the shell and scooped up the potion in the basin, trying to splash it out, but the potion in the pot didn't decrease even after scooping five or six spoonfuls. At the same time, he couldn't put his hand into the water, use the disappearing spell and transform The technique also has no effect.

"As you can see." Anduin shrugged, "These potions have been enchanted with powerful magic, and they cannot be reduced except by being drunk."

"Besides, I don't know much about the effects of these potions before I try them. After all, I'm not good at potions."

Sirius nodded when he heard the words, and then looked at Anduin quietly, thinking that there must be other ways to solve this problem with the other party's means.

But Anduin smiled wryly, "Don't keep looking at me like that, the magic that Voldemort released into the stone basin is much more complicated than the entrance, if you want to use alchemy to crack it, at least several days of work will be wasted. "

"Then why don't you just tell me to drink it?" Sirius rolled his eyes, then scooped up a cup of potion, brought it to his mouth, and prepared to drink it.

But at this time Anduin suddenly stopped him, "Wait a minute, I seem to have thought of a better way."

After that, Anduin took out a random door, opened it and looked inside, and then smiled, "Good luck, although Apparation is prohibited here, it has no effect on the random door, wait a moment .”

After saying this, Anduin walked into the door without looking back, and after a while, he reappeared with a figure.

"This is... Lockhart?" Sirius carefully identified the figure that suddenly appeared, and after a while he was sure that it was the 'big writer' who often appeared in newspapers some time ago.

It's just that Lockhart's appearance at this time does not seem to be the same high-spirited state as before. Now he is wearing a clean and tidy hospital gown, his face is haggard, and there is a lingering expression in his expression. panic.

"W...Mr. Wilson, what on earth do you want me to do!" Lockhart looked at Anduin pleadingly with a mournful face, "I did everything you ordered, including those weird experiments, Please let me go, even if you send me to Azkaban!"

During the days of being imprisoned by Anduin, Lockhart felt that he had experienced what it meant to have a day full of surprises every day.

Of course, he would rather not experience any of this so-called surprise.

In the days of the Anduin Institute, Lockhart was forced to eat those tasteless nutrient solutions every day, and became the experimental subject of some weird experiments.

The most important thing is that it is not Anduin himself who is in charge of operating the experiment, but Hogg, that cheap dog. He has learned hundreds of swear words from that guy, and he is scolded every day without repetition.

"Don't worry." Anduin looked at Lockhart with kindness on his face, "I brought you here today to give you such a chance, as long as you help me finish this thing, I will turn around Send you to Azkaban."

"Good! Good! Good!" Lockhart nodded immediately after hearing the words, as if Anduin would regret it later, "You tell me, I will do my best."

Seeing Lockhart showing such a ghostly look, Sirius beside him couldn't help being amazed.

Is this guy out of his mind? Anduin is talking about sending him to prison. Why is he not only not afraid, but also looking forward to it?
But neither Anduin nor Lockhart was in the mood to explain all this for Sirius, and Anduin just pointed to the stone basin next to him.

"Drink up these potions."

Hearing that, Lockhart didn't even have time to observe the surrounding environment, let alone ask what kind of potion it was, so he immediately rushed to the stone basin, grabbed the shell, scooped up the potion, and poured it into his mouth.

Those who didn't know thought it was delicious.

But as soon as he took a sip, he lay down on the stone basin in pain, his face was even more bruised, and at the same time, he showed a look of fear.

"It's so hot! I feel my internal organs are burning!" Lockhart felt that he was going to burn anytime, and his body was sweating profusely.

At the same time, many terrifying scenes appeared in front of his eyes, such as ferocious ghosts and dragons with bloody mouths. They seemed to be about to pounce on him at any time.

"Drink them all, or you will know what happens!"

Just when Lockhart felt that he couldn't take it anymore and was about to pass out, a whisper like a devil suddenly came from his ear.

And when he heard Anduin's words, Lockhart was shocked and woke up suddenly.

Obviously, in his mind, everything he felt at this moment was less than one ten thousandth as terrifying as Anduin.

Immediately, Lockhart seemed to have a stress reaction, endured the severe pain all over his body, and drank the potion in the stone basin one mouthful at a time.

Seeing this scene, Sirius trembled all over. How strong is this guy's willpower? How can he hold on until his face is blue?
The moment he finally drank the potion, Lockhart couldn't bear it any longer, and fell to the ground in pain, rolling over and scratching his throat.

"Water! Water! I want water! I'm dying of thirst!"

Seeing this, Sirius couldn't bear it. After taking out the locket from the stone basin, he immediately cast a spell to melt a basin of clear water, and supported Lockhart to lean against the side of the basin.

But even though Lockhart scooped it out desperately, and finally even buried his face in the basin, the clear water was like the moon in the water in the mirror, completely out of reach.

In the end, Lockhart couldn't stand it any longer, so he threw himself into the lake next to him, as if that was his hope of surviving.

But just as he jumped into the air, Anduin grabbed his belt with one hand, stopping his forward movement.

"Anduin, just give him some water, he is so pitiful." Seeing Anduin's actions, Sirius persuaded a little.

"No, I found out on the way here that this lake has also been cast with black magic. Once the lake water is disturbed, it will trigger a trap set by Voldemort. Unsurprisingly, it should be the corpses under the water, although I am not afraid They, but there is no need to make too much trouble."

Anduin shook his head decisively. He doesn't like accidents, especially accidents that can be prevented in advance.

"And what about him?" Sirius looked at poor Lockhart. "He looks like he's dying of thirst."

"Go back wherever you came from." Anduin threw Lockhart to any door, and at the same time pulled Sirius into it together.

And in a cave, the magic that can turn liquid into fantasy disappeared, Sirius easily created a puddle of clear water, and Lockhart's state gradually stabilized.

"Mr. Wilson, I followed your instructions one by one, then..." After Lockhart recovered, he didn't even thank Sirius for helping him, and looked at Anduin with burning eyes.

"Don't worry, I mean what I say, and I will let people from the Ministry of Magic borrow you later, but..."

Anduin was halfway through speaking, his expression suddenly became weird, and at the same time, he leaned into Lockhart's ear and whispered.

"After entering Azkaban, you have to do me one last favor..."

His voice became lower and lower, and Lockhart even showed a look of astonishment after hearing everything he said.

"You? Me? They?" Lockhart pointed at himself incoherently, "Can I really do this kind of thing by myself? Or in that kind of place?"

"I believe in you!" Anduin squeezed Lockhart's shoulders with a smile, and squeezed his fingertips slightly, "And if you can't do it, you have to do it. You know me, and I can get you out of Azka at any time." Ban get it out."

Anduin's threatening words made Lockhart, who had just escaped from the pain, break out in a cold sweat again.

"Of course, if you can complete the task I entrusted to you." Anduin knew that he should not push too hard, and he had to throw out some benefits, "Maybe I can find a way to help you get rid of the crime, at least it can relieve you of the crime." You don’t want to spend your life in prison, even if you commute your sentence.”

"Huh?" Lockhart made a bitter face, "With the crimes I committed before, I won't be imprisoned for the rest of my life, right?"

"I said yes, and you will!" Anduin gave him a cold look.

"This... alright!" Lockhart struggled for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and agreed.

He has already been desperate, and now he can only hope that Anduin can keep his word, at least in the past contacts, the other party has still been very honest.

Of course, it is the kind of reputation that kills your whole family if you say kill your whole family.

After finishing the conversation with Lockhart, Anduin sent him to rest. At least let the other party recover some vitality, otherwise it would be unreasonable to wait for the people from the Ministry of Magic to see him in this state.

"What did you just say to him?" Sirius looked at Anduin curiously, "Why does Lockhart look like he's about to die heroically?"

"Secret..." Anduin grinned, "I'm sorry, this matter has to be kept a secret from everyone for the time being, and you are not surprised."

"Okay." Sirius asked casually, he still had 100% trust in Anduin.

"By the way, hurry up and hand over the locket to me. Voldemort's horcruxes all contain strong black magic, which can interfere with the wizard's thoughts. Don't be controlled by him in a while."

Anduin suddenly thought of something, and quickly looked at the locket in Sirius' hand.

"Black magic? Why don't I feel anything at all, this seems like an ordinary metal box." Sirius muttered as he handed out the locket in his hand.

"With Voldemort's ability, he will naturally make you feel the slightest sense of disobedience."

Anduin explained casually, but after taking the locket, he couldn't help frowning slightly.

"Huh? I really can't feel the breath of black magic? Is this horcrux more exquisite than other horcruxes? No, this is obviously Voldemort's third horcrux. The last Ravenclaw he made crowned me You can feel it's wrong."

Anduin was secretly amazed, and then hesitantly opened the locket.

"Huh? Why is there a note in here? Could it be that this note is Voldemort's Horcrux?" Sirius waited and watched like a curious baby, and couldn't help it after he saw the contents of the locket. interrupted.

"No, this locket is not a Horcrux at all." After opening the locket, Anduin finally confirmed his guess, let alone a Horcrux, it is not even an alchemy tool.

"It's not a horcrux? Have you been deceived? Who told you where Voldemort hid the horcrux?" Sirius' face changed when he heard the words. This is not good news.

"Impossible, this place is absolutely true." Anduin shook his head resolutely, this is Voldemort's memory, he can't lie to himself, can he?
"Don't worry about it so much, just read what is written on the note." Anduin said and opened the note left in the locket.

To the Dark Lord:

I'm dead long before you read this.

But I want you to know that I discovered your secret.

I stole the real Horcrux and intend to destroy it as soon as possible.

I am willing to die in the hope that you will be killed when you meet your opponent. ——RAB
"It seems that someone came before us..." Anduin raised his eyebrows in surprise, "But who is this RAB? He actually knows the secret of Voldemort's Horcrux."

After thinking about it carefully, Anduin was still at a loss, but when he raised his head, he saw Sirius with a dumbfounded face.

At this time, Sirius' gaze was fixed on the note in his hand.

"What? Do you know this RAB?" Anduin could see something was wrong with Sirius, and asked quickly.

"RAB..." Sirius closed his eyes in pain, "RAB is the abbreviation of my brother Regulus, he has called himself that since he was very young, on his door and in his textbooks, Similar words can be found."

"Your brother?" Anduin was startled when he heard this, and then looked at the content of the note again.

In other words, if this note was really left by Sirius' younger brother, wouldn't it mean that the other party is no longer alive?
