HP: White Lord of Slytherin

A few weeks after the holiday, Gloria attended classes as usual, and Grindelwald watched coldly as Voldemort realized that it was he who stole the Elder Wand.

Harry and his friends were actively researching various magical histories, including the whereabouts of the Hogwarts Hufflepuff gold cup.

But they are still students and don't have much free time to use.

It was not until late February that the school allowed the students to go to Hogsmeade village.

Harry and the others were busy looking for news about the Deathly Hallows and Horcruxes, so they didn't go out.

And Sirius specifically said that he was just going to have some drinks today. After the last attack, he stayed in the Burrow and only came out today.

After Arthur's careful observation during this period, he found that there were no Death Eaters guarding around, and they seemed to have given up monitoring the place.

"How's Tonks doing lately?" Gloria asked as soon as she sat down.

"The baby will be born in about two months." Sirius smiled, "Remus is very busy all day and spends a lot of time with Tonks."

Gloria said, "It's a pity my godson wasn't born in the summer."

If she was born in the summer, she would still be able to see Tonks and her godson in time.

"Tonks' parents and Remus will take good care of her." Sirius thought of the important matter, "In fact, I deliberately hinted to Harry that he didn't need to come this time. We still found out some information about Bagshot."

Gloria leaned her arms on the table, "Is it related to Harry?"

Sirius shook his head. "We checked some basic information about Bagshot. Her husband died young and she had no children. The children in the photo with her should be her relatives' children. Although she has lived alone for many years, she has friends in Godric's Hollow."

"Who?"

"Molly's aunt, Ms. Muriel Prewett's mother. But they didn't recognize the man in the photo. They just said it was a kid visiting."

Gloria wondered, "Does this information need to be hidden from Harry?"

Sirius took a deep breath. "Because Muriel told us about Dumbledore, we discovered that he was not as... kind as we now see him?"

Kind?

Gloria has always believed that Dumbledore has a strong sense of justice and is a very smart person, but she did not define him as a kind person.

"Muriel...she said that Dumbledore might have killed his sister." Sirius said in a low voice, "This led to a complete break between him and his brother Aberforth."

"Snapped--!"

The glass fell to the ground and shattered. The two turned around and saw the elderly owner of the bar cleaning up the fragments.

Gloria lowered her eyes. "This is shocking news."

"I was also surprised to hear this." Sirius sighed, "Muriel said that Dumbledore's sister might be a Squib. She has been locked up. They have never seen her. They claim that she is in poor health and cannot learn magic. You should know that some wizard families regard Squibs as a shame. Some will even completely expel Squibs from the family, such as the Black family."

Even a noble and proud family like the Blacks had their share of duds. They were all driven away without exception, and their names were burned off the tapestries.

Sirius couldn't believe that Dumbledore would watch his sister being imprisoned and do nothing to rescue her.

"Muriel heard her mother and Bathilda mention it. At Ariana's funeral, Aberforth beat Dumbledore, but Dumbledore didn't fight back at all. And Aberforth said that Dumbledore was to blame for Ariana's death."

Gloria found it strange that if Ariana was a Squib, the Dumbledore family would not have imprisoned her.

After all, Dumbledore's father was willing to break the law and attack three Muggle children in order to avenge his daughter.

He wouldn't change his attitude drastically just because his daughter is a dud.

Ariana was attacked by Muggle boys at the age of six, a critical and unstable age for wizards.

Gloria guessed that Ariana had become an Obscurial, a condition that required life imprisonment in St. Mungo's Hospital.

The fact that she was able to live to the age of fourteen shows that her family took good care of her. Generally, silent people rarely live beyond the age of ten.

"Maybe there is something else going on." Gloria said, "I don't think Dumbledore is someone who is so cruel as to kill his sister."

Sirius agreed with this statement. "In my heart, Dumbledore is still a great wizard."

"Ah--!"

The bar owner sneered suddenly, attracting the attention of the two again. Turning around, they saw him pouring himself a glass of wine.

Gloria thought: Does this boss have a grudge against Dumbledore?

·

No wonder Sirius didn't let Harry come over. If Harry knew these things, he would probably be very disappointed.

Gloria ponders about Ariana.

According to previous research on Dumbledore's family records, Ariana died in August 1899.

This is interesting. Looking at the date on the photo of Grindelwald and Bagshot, it is June 1899. They must have met at that time.

Ariana's death may be related to both Grindelwald and Dumbledore.

That's why Dumbledore told her that his love had ended long ago.

Gloria decided that she had to send a letter to Dumbledore.

Back in the school's secret room, Gloria saw Draco reading alone on the sofa by the fireplace.

She walked straight over and leaned into his arms.

Draco naturally raised his hand and covered her blonde hair. "What did you talk about?"

"I asked about Tonks's condition first. She is doing well and will give birth in about two months." Gloria said, "Ron's great aunt Muriel. Her mother knew Bagshot but didn't know the name of the boy in the photo. Instead, she talked about Dumbledore."

Just as he finished speaking, several messy footsteps approached.

"Leah, we got some news about Horcruxes." Harry was excited.

Draco sighed and put down the book. Ever since he visited the Burrow, these people always ignored his cold faces and insisted on coming over.

Now they can enter and leave the secret room without any hesitation, since there are no restrictions on them here.

Gloria sat up. "What's the news?"

Hermione's eyes sparkled. "We think Riddle may have given the Hufflepuff Cup to a servant he trusted, just like... the diary was given to Draco's father."

"This person must be Bellatrix!" Harry was particularly determined. "Even Draco's father could hide a Horcrux, so she must have one too."

Draco: "..."

"Don't mind." Ron explained considerately, "I'm just describing the objective facts. We all know that your family has turned from evil to good."

Draco was expressionless, "Thank you for your trust."

Harry said, "Now the question is, where will she hide the Horcrux?"

"Lestrange's house?" Hermione guessed, "But when they were captured, their house should have been searched. Should we sneak into the Ministry of Magic and take a look at the relevant information?"

Gloria really admired their planning ability, and they could think of infiltrating the Ministry of Magic.

"You can imagine that Dumbledore should have checked it. She should have hidden the Horcrux in a more hidden place." She said, "Just like Riddle once hid the Slytherin locket in a cave where no one went."

The excitement of the three people immediately subsided.

After a moment of silence, Ron suddenly said something shocking, "Or we can find a way to catch Bellatrix."

Everyone: "..."
