HP: Let professors walk towards the light

After the noisy meeting, Dumbledore brought Reina to the living room on the second floor, along with Sirius, Lupin and Arthur. Molly stayed in the basement to prepare dinner, and the rest of the people left the Black house.

But Snape did not leave immediately for the first time. He always felt that this witch who did not show her face looked somewhat familiar. Of course, he also saw the Confusion Spell she deliberately cast on herself.

Everyone was curious about the witch Dumbledore brought with him. He called her a "companion", but Dumbledore denied her identity as a member of the Order of the Phoenix.

A group of people came to the living room, and the Potter children were naturally there. They gave up the sofa and stood aside. Sirius took Kreacher out as Dumbledore requested and threw him in the middle of the living room.

"Master Sirius threw Kreacher to the ground to make a fool of himself. In front of a group of cowards and traitors, Kreacher made him unhappy again..." Kreacher muttered to himself.

"I told you not to be so rude about it!" This was Hermione.

"It has nothing to do with you, this is his servant." Ron muttered to Hermione.

Ignoring Hermione's words, Sirius looked at Dumbledore and said, "What do you want with this old guy?"

Dumbledore shrugged but raised an eyebrow at Reyna.

Since Dumbledore doesn't care about so many people knowing about the Horcruxes, Reina will care even less about it.

She said directly to Sirius: "You are its master now, so you need to ask it questions as the head of the family, so as to ensure that it tells the truth."

"Do you want me to ask questions? Ask it? What can it know?" Sirius' face was full of displeasure.

Reina couldn't help but roll her eyes inwardly and looked at Dumbledore with a pout.

"Do you want me to add you as the messenger?"

Dumbledore smiled and said to Sirius, "Just do as she says for now, Sirius."

Sirius let out a sigh of relief, walked to the sofa next to Kreacher and sat down, saying, "Go ahead, what do you want to ask?"

"Who gave it Slytherin's locket?"

"Lockette?" Sirius looked at Dumbledore in confusion. Dumbledore nodded slightly at him. Although he didn't understand, he still repeated Reina's words after getting Dumbledore's affirmation: "Tsk Kreacher, I ask you a question as the head of the family. You must answer truthfully. You must not hide anything and you must not disobey. Tell me, who gave you the Slytherin locket?"

"I... Kreacher's little master - Regulus Black." Under the pressure of Sirius's majesty, Kreacher answered with a trembling voice, his hands tightly clutching the dirty rags on his body.

Hearing this, Sirius's face turned very ugly, but Lena was not interested in the grudges between them.

"Why would Regulus leave this thing with you?"

Sirius gritted his teeth and continued to pass on the message. Kreacher's mouth moved, as if trying to refuse to answer.

"The young master asked Kreacher to destroy it, but Kreacher couldn't do it. Kreacher is a bad elf and could not fulfill the master Regulus' last wish. Kreacher deserves to die." Kreacher began to kowtow violently to the ground, a common tactic of house-elves.

"We can help you destroy it and fulfill your master's last wish." Reina said with ease.

After hearing this, before Sirius could repeat himself, Kreacher had already stared at Lena with a pair of aggrieved eyes. He walked towards Lena tremblingly, ignoring Sirius's voice, with tears as big as beans rolling down his painful face.

"Can you really help Kreacher fulfill his master's wish?"

"Of course, the prerequisite is that you have to tell us everything you know about Regulus and this locket truthfully. Don't lie. He has ways to make you tell the truth." Reina bent down and stared into Kreacher's eyes, smiling cunningly.

"Kreacher will tell you everything. I promise I won't lie." Kreacher swallowed his saliva. His skinny chest rose and fell violently. He hunched his body, as if... Reina was his master...

“Hey, hey, hey, I’m its current owner, right? You just asked me to help you, what do you mean now? What are you investigating? What does it have to do with that guy Regulus? Explain…”

Dumbledore gave Lupin and Arthur a look, and the two men quickly received the instruction. They stepped forward from the left and right to stop Sirius, and sat on both sides of Sirius like guardians. Dumbledore also called Harry and the others over.

Kreacher sat down on the carpet and began to tell the story of Regulus. His voice was hoarse, but it revealed the story of a young hero with extraordinary clarity.

Voldemort forced Kreacher to drink the poison in the cave to hide Slytherin's locket, which aroused Regulus's resistance. The young man used his own strength to exchange for Voldemort's real Horcrux, but was buried in the cold due to the influence of the poison and the corpses at the bottom of the lake. Together with the truth, he successfully deceived everyone, including Voldemort and his biological brother Sirius.

Sirius fell silent. It seemed that Kreacher's words were difficult for him to accept.

"So, Regulus gave you the real box, but he was dragged into the lake by the Inferi, right?" Reina repeated.

Kreacher nodded heavily and said, "Kreacher spent a very, very long time, but he still failed to complete the master's task. Kreacher is a waste..."

Reina looked at Dumbledore, who nodded. He had already made an assessment of all this. Since the one in the cave was just a fake, it would not be a bad idea to leave it there to divert Voldemort's attention. From this point of view, apart from Nagini, the last Horcrux could only be in Bella's hands.

"Now that the matter is clear, Kreacher, give the things to Dumbledore. We promised you that we will definitely keep our promise. I will leave first."

"Are you leaving?" Dumbledore asked when he saw Reina standing up.

"Isn't that thing still useful to you? I won't get involved. I'll contact you if you have any problems." Lena walked towards the door.

Snape stood at the door, staring at Rena as she slowly approached. Rena unconsciously pushed her hat down again, walked past Snape as if nothing had happened, and went down the stairs.

Snape frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then followed.

At the corner of the stairs, Reina stopped.

"What's up? Mr.... in black?"

"Hello, the lady in black robe. Perhaps you wouldn't mind if I gave you a ride." Snape said in a calm tone.

"Don't bother. If you have something to say, just say it here." Reina leaned sideways.

"Then I'll be frank. Who are you to be trusted by Dumbledore to join the Order of the Phoenix, yet you are so mysterious and use the Confounding Charm to conceal your identity?" Snape stood on the stairs, looking down from above and unable to see Reina's lowered face.
