Chapter 500 Ivan: No One Knows the Dark Lord Better than Me!
Sirius didn't want to trouble Dumbledore with his personal matters, but what Ivan said made him unable to refute, so he hesitated for a moment.
"Ivan is right. This matter is very dangerous and we may not be able to solve it. Moreover, if one of Voldemort's Horcruxes was destroyed, he must be notified!" Lu Ping said in a helpful voice.
"Okay, I'm going to Hogwarts now!" Sirius exhaled.
Now that he had made up his mind, Sirius no longer hesitated and immediately used Apparition to disappear.
About half an hour later, Sirius' figure appeared in the underground library again, his brows furrowed and his expression very ugly.
"How is it? Professor Dumbledore agrees?" Harry asked quickly.
"I can't find where Principal Dumbledore is. He doesn't seem to be in school, and no professor knows where he is!" Sirius replied helplessly.
What a coincidence? Ivan was a little surprised, but he quickly figured it out.
As the principal, Dumbledore is not idle all day long with nothing to do. It is impossible for him to stay in Hogwarts for the entire summer vacation. In addition, there is not much time left for the assassination of the Horcrux. I am afraid that he will not be able to do it all day long. Don't dare to waste.
This may be at Moody's house to persuade him to become the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, or it may be that the Ministry of Magic is discussing the upcoming Triwizard Tournament this year.
"Then what should we do now? Wait here for Professor Dumbledore to come back?" Harry suddenly ran out of ideas.
However, Sirius didn't want to wait any longer. Endless regret kept scratching his heart like a brush. He looked at the house elf next to him and said bluntly.
"No! I don't have the patience to wait like this. What if Dumbledore is not at Hogwarts throughout the summer? So I plan to go there with Kreacher to take a look at the situation."
"You plan to go alone, are you kidding me?" Lupine interrupted Sirius excitedly.
"Listen to me Remus! I don't want you to take risks because of my personal affairs!" Sirius said solemnly, then pretended to be relaxed and continued.
"Have you forgotten? Kreacher made it very clear just now that house elves can disapparate in that place without restrictions. I don't have to drink the potion, so I can come back at any time without any danger! "
"Then what? How are you going to fish out Regulus' body from the cold bottom of the lake? Use the Bubble Head Charm and dive into the lake?" Lu Ping said sarcastically.
Sirius choked up immediately, he was indeed right in thinking so.
But instead of jumping down recklessly, he used a magic potion to put himself into a semi-dead state so that he could trick the Inferi into salvaging Regulus's body.
It's just that the risk is a bit higher. Once discovered by the corpse in the lake, the consequences will be disastrous!
So Sirius doesn't want Lupine to take risks with him
"You need my help, Sirius! We are best friends, aren't we?" Lupine looked at him firmly.
Sirius and Lupine were in a stalemate for a long time, but finally lost and said with a wry smile. "Well, my friend, if you insist on that!"
When Ivan saw that Sirius and Lupine seemed to have reached a consensus, he didn't know what to say for a while.
They are really brave! Dumbledore and Harry almost couldn't come back from the trap set by the Dark Lord himself, let alone them.
Even if you don't drink the magic potion and can avoid the most dangerous traps, a large number of Inferi are still a huge trouble.
Ivan was very doubtful whether they could pass the protective measures set up by Voldemort and whether they could lift the boat in the lake.
With just two people, Sirius and Lupine, trying to fish out Regulus's body would be very difficult. There is a high probability that there will be no return
Thinking of this, Ivan said to the two of them. "If you must go there, how about taking me with you?"
"Absolutely not!" Sirius shook his head without hesitation and said consolingly. "You're different from us. You're still young and shouldn't take risks!"
"Sirius is right! Although your strength far exceeds that of your peers, and you may even surpass me in the use of some magics, you still lack experience in fighting enemies and have no experience in dealing with the Inferi," Lu Ping advised with the same sincerity.
They were prepared to die there when they went to retrieve the corpse this time, and Ivan was only thirteen or fourteen years old, so there was really no need to accompany them to such a dangerous place.
Ivan hesitated to speak. In fact, no matter how many corpses there were, there was no danger to him.
Because he merged with Boggart's bloodline not long ago, he can turn into an inferi and blend in. Even if he is discovered, it doesn't matter, he can just turn into a basilisk and kill him!
He has personally tested it. The thick skin of the basilisk is very hard. Only a powerful spell like Shen Feng Wuying can break through the defense, not those of the Inferi.
No matter what, it would be fine to turn into an owl and fly in the air. Anyway, those Inferi have no means of attacking the air.
It's just that blood magic is a trump card that is not easy to expose, so Ivan can't use this as an explanation. After thinking about it, he can only say it very forcefully.
"Professor Lupin, you really underestimate me! You must know that I have defeated the Dark Lord twice and destroyed three dangerous Horcruxes in a row. In terms of countermeasures against the Dark Lord, I am afraid that you two will They are not as good as me when we are together!”
Harry nodded, and in order to testify to Ivan, he told the story about how Voldemort possessed Kino in the first grade and wanted to steal the Sorcerer's Stone, but was ultimately defeated by Ivan.
"There is also Professor Lockhart who was confused by the Horcrux in the second year. I also noticed his abnormality, found him out, and fought with the Dark Lord in the fifth year, destroying the soon-to-be-resurrected Dark Lord. That Horcrux!" Ivan also briefly mentioned his great achievements.
Although Ivan felt that these were things in the past, and the victory was not glorious, Lupine and Sirius did not know the details, and they were completely shocked.
Of course they had heard about Ivan driving away two Defense Against the Dark Arts professors, but this was the first time they knew the secret behind it.
"Did you really defeat Voldemort? Or twice?" It took Sirius a while to recover from the shocking news.
As members of the Order of the Phoenix who had experienced the last Wizarding War, Sirius and Lupine were very aware of the terror of the Dark Lord.
They were even lucky enough to face Voldemort several times. Just by standing there, the man's vast magic could suppress them and make them breathless!
It has been so many years since Voldemort "died", but most wizards in the wizarding world still dare not call him by his first name.
