A certain Hogwarts magical cat

Chapter 350 True and False Locket

After handing over the task of building the small world to the subordinates of the Forbidden Forest, Charlie resumed his previous schedule.

It's just that I will spare a few minutes every day to go to the barren land to supplement food for the hard-working men, or use my own magic to make some adjustments to the laid continent.

One day, Charlie, who had just returned from the barren land, was about to go to the library to change his magic books, but he happened to be in the corridor on the first floor, and met the four of them who were drunk and angry.

"What's wrong, who made you angry again!"

Charlie stopped, looked at Alice and laughed.

"It's not that guy Snape who deducted a lot of points from us again!"

Ron was the first to complain.

When Charlie heard this, he was a little surprised and said:

"Hey, don't you guys have no potions class today?"

Today was Friday, he noted in Alice's class schedule that Potions class was yesterday.

"It's not Potions class, it's Defense Against the Dark Arts class!"

Alice explained.

Harry then said:

"I don't know what's going on, but Professor Lupine is ill, so now Snape will temporarily take over Defense Against the Dark Arts class!"

"It's too much. He not only belittled Professor Lupine in the classroom, but also changed the order of Professor Lupine's courses. Originally, we were supposed to learn Hinkpunk, but he was teaching us to identify and deal with werewolves!"

Hermione also expressed her dissatisfaction at the same time.

After listening to all the complaints of the four people, Charlie roughly knew what was going on.

Presumably, in order to hide his identity during the time when the full moon turned into a werewolf, Lupine asked Snape to take over his lessons temporarily.

Because of Snape's distrust of Lupine, he was afraid that he would hurt the little wizards after he became a werewolf, so he began to teach them how to recognize and fight against werewolves in advance.

"Actually, you really can't blame Professor Snape for this, he is also doing it for your own good!"

"why!"

Hearing that Charlie actually spoke for Snape, the four of Alice suddenly showed puzzled expressions on the second floor.

"Want to know? But you must remember to keep it secret and don't tell others, otherwise Professor Lupine may not be able to teach at Hogwarts in the future!"

Facing Charlie's inquiry, the four of them nodded firmly at the same time.

On the lawn outside the castle, Charlie recovered the cat body, and then began to explain the cause and effect to the four little guys:
"Actually, when Professor Lupine was young, because his father offended the werewolf Fenrir Greyback, he suffered revenge and was bitten by a werewolf.

This also makes Professor Lupine turn into a werewolf every night of the full moon. Just in case, Professor Snape will teach you about werewolves in advance! "

"Professor Lupine turned out to be a werewolf, which is really shocking!"

After listening to Charlie's explanation, the four little guys all entered a state of disbelief.

That's right, Professor Lupine is not like other professors, he is humorous in class, and he is a very nice person. Many little wizards like him very much, and he doesn't look like the ferocious werewolf in the rumors.

"Charlie, how did you know this secret?"

Hermione asked curiously.

"I, you must know that we are constantly switching between human and cat forms every day, so what we see and hear is naturally much more than you!"

Charlie felt his magic power recover for a while, observed that there was no one around, and turned into a human body again.

"Okay, let's go to the cafeteria to eat, you still have class in the afternoon!"

After waving to the four little guys, Charlie continued walking towards the library.

The next day, Saturday,

Snowflakes began to fall in the sky, and Alice and other young wizards over the third grade and most of the school's professors organized a trip to Hogsmeade Village early in the morning.

in the principal's office.

Charlie looked at the worried Dumbledore and asked:
"Why, the Ministry of Magic still doesn't believe that Voldemort is resurrected!"

"Yes, they have been blinded by power and desire. I'm afraid they will only believe it when Voldemort really appears in front of them!"

Dumbledore sighed helplessly.

"Then what are you going to do now?"

Charlie used the Transfiguration Charm to conjure two cups of steaming bubble tea, and handed one to Dumbledore.

"In this situation, we have to look for clues first to see if Voldemort has other Horcruxes. If there are, find and destroy them as soon as possible!"

Dumbledore imitated Charlie to insert the straw into the cup of milk tea in a strange way, and then sucked:
"Oh, what kind of drink is this, it tastes really good!"

"A street drink in Hua Country, I prefer to drink it!"

Charlie explained a sentence, and then continued to ask:

"Any clues?"

"I haven't found anything yet, where are you?"

Charlie had found several clues to the Horcrux in a row before, so Dumbledore still believed in Charlie's ability.

Charlie shrugged with a smile:

"There is a little clue, but I haven't found the specifics yet. Principal, do you know where the orphanage where Voldemort was a child is? I want to find time to investigate there!"

If he remembered correctly, one of Voldemort's Horcruxes, Salazar Slytherin's locket, was originally hidden in a cave by the sea near the orphanage.

However, it was later secretly dropped by Sirius' younger brother, Regulus Black, together with the house elf Kreacher.They put a fake locket in it.

The real Horcrux locket is now actually in Sirius' house, which was also the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix established by Dumbledore.

Specifically, it is still kept by the house elf Kreacher.

The main reason is that when Regulus Black stole the locket, he also touched Voldemort's trap and was killed by the army of ghosts.

Only Kreacher, the house-elf, escaped because he was not restrained by anti-apparition.

But he was just a house elf, how could he destroy the Horcrux, so he kept it by his side for safekeeping.

Charlie asked Dumbledore about the location of the orphanage in order to find the cave.

He was not for the fake locket in the cave, but for the thousands of corpses in the cave.

Kill them all, it is estimated that you can gain a lot of experience!
at the same time,

The Horcrux cave that Charlie wanted to find also ushered in his current master.

Voldemort took his Death Eaters, and after confirming that Dumbledore was not nearby, he carefully came to the Horcrux cave, and then untied the black magic trap he set.

However, when he took out the locket full of joy, his expression suddenly changed.

Because the moment he touched the locket, he had already discovered that the locket was fake, and there was no split soul of his own inside.

Hastily opened the locket, and saw a small note inside the box:

To the Dark Lord
I'll be dead 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, I hope that when you meet your opponent
can be killed.
