"You mean, that rat also participated in the attack?" Regulus said carefully.

"No, I mean, in addition to the guy who was imprisoned in Azkaban, there was another person who was manipulating him behind the scenes." Dumbledore shook his head and said, "The one who was captured was just a soul-snatcher. He cursed the unlucky guy, and the man we all know...has escaped. Dedalo, would you mind recounting the situation to us?"

As soon as Dumbledore finished speaking, a wizard wearing a top hat walked out of the shadows silently.

"Were you always there? Sorry, I thought you were a coat rack." Only then did Regulus realize that there was a fourth person in the room.

The little wizard smiled kindly, not offended by Regulus's pointed joke.

"This is Dedalus Degg. He has been secretly protecting Harry Potter under my entrustment. Of course, there are also Stooges and Arabella, thanks to them this time." Dumbledore introduced.

Di Ge saluted Regulus, but his top hat accidentally fell off.

"Nice to meet you... By the way, can you make a statue?" Regulus suddenly asked in a confused manner.

"What?" Di Singer hurriedly put the hat on his head, looking a little confused.

"He refers to the protagonist in a stupid Muggle story. You are just unfortunate enough to have the same name as that person." Snape explained softly, then he turned to Regulus and said with a complicated expression, "I didn't expect you to be so With a noble birth, you still pay attention to Muggle things?"

"Some wizards who don't pay attention to hiding themselves will be written into their myths by Muggles. From there we can find clues of history. History always does not distinguish between high and low." Regulus answered in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

"Yes... I'm sorry!" Di Ge suddenly screamed, interrupting their conversation. Regulus and Snape both frowned.

"Did you remember anything? Dedalus, speak slowly." Dumbledore obviously understood Di Ge's temper very well, and comforted him with gentle words.

"This gentleman just said 'not paying attention to hiding'. When I saw Mr. Harry Potter on the street before, I couldn't help but say hello to him... but he obviously didn't know me, his Muggle relative. Think I'm crazy." Di Ge said quickly, "Maybe it was because of my negligence that Mr. Harry Potter's residence was exposed!"

"I can't blame you. It's not a secret that Harry Potter lives there. You can find out with a little investigation. It's just that no one usually bothers him." Dumbledore comforted him.

Di Ge looked even more depressed.

"I think the protective magic on Harry's body and home is still in effect, so the attackers cannot find his residence and can only wait for the Dursleys to go out and attack on the road." Dumbledore speculated, "But haha Leigh was not in the car, and their flamboyant behavior attracted Stoje's attention..."

"When I got the news, I happened to be nearby. A Muggle building exploded, and there were injured Muggles everywhere. Stork and I were quickly attacked. The person who was captured was a decoy and was captured. The puppet of the soul curse." Di Ge said with lingering fear, "The real murderer... I can't remember his appearance, but I must have seen him somewhere!"

"Another Confusion Curse?" Regulus thought of Ron, and he couldn't remember the other person's appearance afterwards.

"... He only used a strange spell to remove the entire bone of Stoji's leg... I have never seen such a terrible spell..." At this point, Di Ge retched, "If... ...If Severus hadn't arrived in time, Stork and I would have died in his hands..."

"It was not difficult for the therapists at St. Mungo's to get Mr. Podmore to grow bones. The trouble was, his memory was severely damaged. When I sent him to St. Mungo's, he kept treating me Recognize him as his father," Snape said coldly.

"Poor Stork, I hope he can recover soon... We have to strengthen our manpower." Dumbledore quickly made a decision and turned to Di Ge, "Didalo, now you go to Hestia and Emmeline. And... Mundungus Fletcher, tell them to go to the Hog's Head and someone will take care of them."

After Di Ge seriously agreed, he left the principal's office.

"Severus, you go to the school hospital now and get your injury healed." Dumbledore said to Snape again in a noncommittal tone.

Snape wanted to say something, but Dumbledore stared at him and shook his head slowly.

Eventually, Snape gave in and limped out of the headmaster's office.

"Headmaster, you have to tell me the truth, what else is out there?" Regulus said bluntly, "I know Severus Snape's strength. A wizard who can hurt him can do it with just two hands." As you can count, more than half of them are either teaching people in this castle, or..."

He held back the words "Locked in Azkaban" and did not say them.

"He's just too impatient, just like you two days ago." Dumbledore sighed.

Regulus was noncommittal, ultimately deciding not to comment on Snape's personal behavior.

"I'm going to resign."

"Why?" Dumbledore asked gently, not looking surprised at all, as if he had known that Regulus would make this request. "According to the students' feedback, your class is quite popular. I also think that You are the best Defense Against the Dark Arts professor they have encountered in recent years."

"I think the reason is obvious. The Dark Lord is making trouble outside -" Regulus pointed to the window with a very excited tone, "-and here I am, playing house with a group of children! If he What would he do if he found out that the Horcrux was stolen? What if he got the Philosopher's Stone? What if he found another way to resurrect himself?"

"Calm down, Regulus, calm down..." Dumbledore persuaded in a low and calm tone, "Voldemort will not explore his Horcruxes until he recovers his body, because this means losing his own. The secret is exposed before the eyes of the follower...or puppet."

"Even if the Horcrux thing won't be discovered for the time being. But are we just going to let him roam around and commit crimes?" Regulus's mood was still a little ups and downs. "I'm lucky this time, no one died. What about next time? What about next time? That’s the Dark Lord! Headmaster, he’s no ordinary lunatic!”

"I know that he is the most evil madman who ever lived." Dumbledore said seriously.

Regulus made a strange, half-laughing sound.

"So we will take action, I have a plan..." Dumbledore became serious, "It will not be easy for us to find a Voldemort running around, but if Voldemort comes to us, maybe things will become easier."

"You mean...the Philosopher's Stone?" Regulus quickly understood.
