HP: Let professors walk towards the light

"It's just that Slytherin's locket was taken away by former Death Eater Regulus Black, Sirius Black's brother." Rena looked at Snape and said.

"As far as I know, Regulus is dead. Could it be... at the hands of Sirius?" Snape guessed.

“Yes and no.” Reina said mysteriously, “Let’s go eat first.”

At the dining table, Snape ate quietly without saying a word, and Reina didn't say much either. Sunlight was pouring in from the window, and the two of them just sat there separated by the long table, enjoying the good times.

At this time, Obos flew over from the hall, aimed at Reina and rushed over.

Reina quickly stood up and grabbed Obos, only to see it panting. Reina took the letter from its feet and gave it a basin of water and fish.

"Thank you for your hard work." Lena touched Obos's head, stroked its fur, and looked at the content of the letter. Lena couldn't help but frowned.

"What's wrong?" Snape noticed that something was wrong with Rena and asked.

"There has been some small progress regarding my father's case."

Snape saw through Reina's pretense of being relaxed, but pretended not to notice and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Miscent is a friend I met in Egypt. He said he found a witch my father had inquired about before - Cora." Reina held the letter with a worried look on her face.

Misent searched for more than a year. During a field job, he was attacked by wild magical creatures. A colleague got lost and accidentally broke into the jungle where the witch Cora was. He stepped into the trap set by Cora and was rescued by her. In this way, Misent luckily found Cora's whereabouts and wrote a letter to Lena to inform her.

At first, Mission wanted to ask Cora to come out, but Cora kicked him out without saying a word before Mission even opened his mouth. Later, Cora reluctantly let him in only after Mission mentioned Al Vicente's name.

But Cora refused to talk about the incident with anyone until she met El Vicente's daughter. She came out only after Micente promised to let her go to England, and now lives in Micente's house.

"Professor, I'm sorry, this..." Reina said hesitantly.

"This is your home. Who you want to see has nothing to do with me. Why are you apologizing?" Snape said.

"Will it delay our plan to destroy the Horcruxes?" asked Reina.

"Plan? I don't have a plan. I said I have plenty of time. It's you who has to destroy the Horcrux. I'm just supervising and accompanying you."

"You said you were busy," Reina muttered.

"What did you say?" asked Snape.

"Nothing, if you don't mind I'll ask Misent to bring the witch Cora."

"As you wish." Snape stood up. "Where is my luggage?"

The elf Juanjuan immediately appeared and said, "The guest room is on the first floor. Juanjuan can take you there."

"Have a good rest, Professor. If you want to study potions, you can use the basement and study at will." Reina followed him out of the restaurant.

"If possible, I would like to see Cora first. As for Slytherin's locket, I have a way to deal with it. Hufflepuff's cup is in Bella Lestrange's private vault. We can find a way to get it and then destroy it-"

"How... no, how do you plan to get into that crazy woman's private vault? That's the goblins' territory."

"It's not that there is no way, it's just that it will be more troublesome because she is still in Azkaban."

"So - next, where's Gaunt's ring?" asked Snape.

"This... is not difficult to find. It is hidden in Gaunt's old house, but... it is more troublesome to destroy." Lena hesitated, "It was cursed by Voldemort..."

"It seems that you are not omnipotent. In this case, take care of your own business first, and then - go to Grimmauld Place. If that doesn't work, just call Dumbledore." Snape followed Curly and Rena to the door of the guest room.

"Okay, I'll write a letter back to Missent. The elves will deliver breakfast to the bedroom. If you need anything, please ask Curly to call me. I'm on the second floor. You can take her with you if you need to go out." Rena put her hands behind her back, looked at Snape, waved her hand and said, "Have a good rest, Professor Snape."

?

「Reina! Long time no see, I’m here again.」

As soon as Misent arrived at the manor, he pounced on Reina. The sharp-eyed Reina quickly dodged to the side, and Misent missed.

"I'm so sad. I haven't seen you for almost two years and yet you treat me like this. Have our feelings faded? You've grown so tall. It's true that children become less affectionate when they grow up, wuwuwu..."

Micent exaggeratedly made the Xizi's heart-holding gesture and wiped away the non-existent tears.

"It's been a long time since we last met. You've become even more..."

"Handsome?"

"Too rough." Lena covered her mouth and laughed.

"Wow, I tried my best to help you find clues, but you despised me, you heartless little guy." Misent slumped on the sofa, "heartbroken".

"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Reina walked up to the hunched old witch and said, "Are you Ms. Cora? I am Hermalena Tallos, the daughter of Elvisent."

For a long moment, Cora just looked at her without making any move.

"Hello?" Lena waved her hand in front of her.

Korra had a serious expression, her eye sockets sunken, and her deep eyes stared at Reina.

"I didn't expect he actually did it..." After a long time, Cora slowly spoke, "Hermalena, right?"

"Yes, Ms. Cora." Reina smiled.

"You look so much like your father. Cora is just a name, not a surname. Just call me Cora."

Cora slowly walked over to the couch and sat down.

"My connection with Talros is quite deep," she said.

"Where do I start?" Lena asked.

Korra held up three fingers and said, "You are the third Talros who came to see me."

"Could it be... my grandfather?" Lena said in surprise.

"Yes. Your grandfather came for his faith; your father came for your curse—"

"Her curse? What curse?" Snape walked over quickly.

"Who are you? Don't you know how to avoid others when they are talking?" Missent's tone suddenly became low.

"I am her...Professor." Snape was speechless for a moment.

"Professor?" Micent looked at Reina.

"It's okay, Misent, the professor already knew about this." Reina motioned for Snape to sit down as well.

"What do you mean by curse?" Snape asked.

"Literally." Cora didn't care that Snape interrupted her and continued, "Your father offended someone, and that person cursed you when you were just born, so your father found me through your grandfather's diary."

"Grandpa's diary? I've read it, but you're not mentioned in it?" Lena asked puzzledly.

"The diary that contained me was destroyed by your father a long time ago."
