Chapter 571 Past Events

This time, however, no new defendants were escorted to the stage. Instead, Li Zhuoguang walked to the center of the venue and talked freely: "I encountered a dark wizard possessed by Voldemort's remnant soul in Hogwarts last school year."

Hearing Li Zhuoguang's words, many people were surprised: "Mr. Li, since you met him a year ago, why..."

"Why didn't you report it? Of course I reported it, but now it seems that no one knows about it. I killed the dark wizard last year, but unfortunately Voldemort's remnant soul escaped. I realized the seriousness of the matter at that time, so I decided to report it.

Before I came here, I heard rumors about the British Ministry of Magic. Although there are many comments that I don't agree with, I deliberately cut off the head of the dark wizard just in case.

Because Voldemort has been attached to the back of his head for a long time, just a little inspection will be able to know what I have done. It's true. I thought that after all, I was an outsider, and the incident happened in Hogwarts, so I entrusted the respected Headmaster Dumbledore to do this.

But after Headmaster Dumbledore presented the head to the Ministry of Magic, I didn't see any action from the Ministry of Magic. I asked, but the answer I got was that the Ministry of Magic was dealing with the matter.

At that time, I was optimistic that the Ministry of Magic was playing a big game, preparing to catch Voldemort and his followers in one fell swoop.

But what I didn't expect was that this year, Voldemort could actually collude with foreign forces and take advantage of the opportunity of the Triwizard Tournament to retaliate against me and Harry. I even learned about their plan through my own channels, but the Ministry of Magic didn't make any moves.

So I just solved this matter myself. Here, I apologize to everyone for the slightly rude way of inviting everyone here, but it's urgent to do it, and it's not convenient to leak the news. "

The wizards of the Wizengamot waved their hands again and again.

They are all political veterans. Just now, they were frightened by Voldemort's residual power and were very nervous. But now Voldemort is dead, and the smart IQ has taken over again.

Looking around, it is not difficult to find that the members of the Wizengamot present are all those who have accepted Percy Weasley's help before, or have not explicitly refused.

Li Zhuoguang contacted everyone through Percy to ask them to help Harry Potter. At that time, they thought that this was just Li Zhuoguang's mobilization of connections to help his friends, and at most it was a bit of forcing them to stand in line.

But combined with everything that is happening now, this is laying a mine! Who is Harry Potter? What do you mean by not helping him when he comes to you?

No matter what those people considered at the time, they are not here today, and it will be a bit embarrassing after today.

"... In summary, I now impeach the Minister of Magic Fudge Connelly for harboring evil intentions and covering up the fact that Voldemort has been resurrected. I propose to remove him from the position of Minister of Magic and accept investigation."

The result this time is faster.

Is Connelly a pure blood of twenty-eight?

No.

Is Connelly very strong?

No.

Is Connelly popular?

No.

So the question is, what does Connelly have?

Of course, it is Dumbledore's support.

Did Arthur Weasley, who was present, speak up to defend him?

No.

How could he not be finished?

The temporary trial ended early. The Triwizard Tournament also ended hastily.

The little wizards of Hogwarts didn't know what happened on the night of the third project. They only saw Li Zhuoguang and Harry being taken away, and then Principal Dumbledore announced the end of the game.

Because of an accident during the competition, there was no champion in this competition, but everyone saw Li Zhuoguang's performance in the game.

What is more shameful than 8:0? After the goalkeeper was knocked down by the opponent, the opponent did not shoot, but stopped the ball in front of the goal and started to dance the waving dance, and danced eight times in a row!

Even if the final score is 0:0, it might as well be 8:0.

Li Zhuoguang's behavior is almost the same. Although the Triwizard Tournament has been restarted, everyone knows that the other two magic schools will never come again.

It was late at night when Li Zhuoguang and Harry returned to the common room. As soon as they returned to the common room, they were surrounded. Li Zhuoguang only left a sentence to read the newspaper tomorrow, and went back to sleep. The Slytherins did not dare to disturb him.

As for Harry, it was not until a long time after being surrounded by people that the twins discovered that his demeanor was abnormal. They quickly joined Percy to disperse the others and sent him to the medical wing.

Fortunately, after checking, Madam Pomfrey found that he had only experienced some stimulation. After feeding him a dose of the Living Hell Potion, he went to sleep in the medical wing.

The next morning, the owls came with the latest "Daily Prophet".

Most of the young wizards at Hogwarts have never seen what Voldemort looks like. Today they have a treat and directly saw the naked version of Voldemort.

After all, the Daily Prophet is the largest newspaper in the British wizarding world and a formal newspaper. A formal newspaper naturally has a review department, which will delete content and photos that are too explicit or inappropriate.

But Lucius Malfoy is the review emperor, and if he says no deletion is allowed, then it really cannot be deleted.

Before this, due to the influence of their parents, young wizards would feel fear from the bottom of their hearts when they heard Voldemort's name, even if they had never seen him.

But now, the image of the little white long worm is deeply rooted in people's hearts. Whenever someone mentions Voldemort's name, that soft, white stripe will always come to mind involuntarily.

What else is there to fear?

Under Li Zhuoguang's instruction, the Daily Prophet concealed his writings.

Harry Potter's double-killing of Voldemort pushed his reputation to another peak. But Harry himself knew that Voldemort's matter had not been resolved yet.

In the principal's office, Li Zhuoguang showed a bare ring to everyone: "This is one of the Horcruxes, the ring of the Gaunt family. I removed the resurrection stone on it. That is not a good thing."

With that said, Li Zhuoguang destroyed the ring in front of everyone and concluded: "Diary, gold cup, jewelry box, crown, ring, only two of the seven Horcruxes are left."

Sirius geared up: "Where are the remaining two? You must know their whereabouts, right?"

Harry was about to speak, but Li Zhuoguang held his shoulder down.

Li Zhuoguang said to Sirius: "There is another Horcrux that requires your help to get it."

Snape was a little dissatisfied and said in a deep voice: "Why does it have to be him?"

Li Zhuoguang didn't speak, just blinked at him.

Sirius glanced at Snape provocatively and patted his chest: "Leave it to me."

Before anyone else could ask questions, Li Zhuoguang summoned Kreacher and teleported away with him and Sirius. About half an hour later, Li Zhuoguang and Sirius reappeared in the principal's office.

Li Zhuoguang was fine, but Sirius was lying on the ground, looking like he was about to die. Kreacher's face was extremely ugly, and he was still crying, but it didn't look like he was sad for Sirius.

Harry was shocked and tried to help him, but Sirius struggled to stand up on his own. A smile appeared on his pale face: "I got it. I didn't expect it to be a locket."

Snape saw the familiar locket and looked at Sirius' miserable condition, and couldn't help but smile sarcastically.

Li Zhuoguang also said to Sirius calmly: "Since you worked so hard to get the Horcrux, you should open it yourself and take a look."

Sirius opened the Horcrux easily, but all he saw was a small piece of paper. When he unfolded the piece of paper, Sirius' familiar handwriting was on it.

Li Zhuoguang ordered to Kreacher: "Tell him what happened back then."

Kreacher wiped his tears and began to tell what happened that year. His voice was very suppressed when he spoke.

"Sirius has left, which is gratifying, because he is a bad boy, always unruly, and breaks the heart of the heroine...Mrs. Black. But Regulus is very educated, and he knows the secrets of the Black family. What does a surname and one's own noble pure blood mean.

For years, he had talked about the Dark Lord, the man who had taken wizards out of hiding and instead ruled over Muggles and Muggle-borns. At the age of sixteen, Regulus joined the Dark Lord's group. So proud, so proud, so blessed to serve.

Then one day, a year after he joined, Regulus came down to the kitchen to see Kreacher. Regulus had always liked Kreacher. Regulus said... he said... he said the Dark Lord needed a house elf. "

Everyone looked at Kreacher. The glory of the Black family had already dimmed when Sirius was still studying. In Sirius's family, Kreacher was the only house elf.

"Regulus took it upon himself to recommend Kreacher. It was an honor, Regulus said, an honor that belonged to him and Kreacher. Kreacher must do whatever the Dark Lord asks...and go...home."

So Kreacher went to the Dark Lord. The Dark Lord didn't tell Kreacher what to do, he just took Kreacher to a cave by the sea. Deep inside the cave is a cave, and in the cave there is a large black lake... and a boat..."

Sirius felt his scalp tingle when he heard this, because that was where he was taken just now.

"There was a basin filled with medicine... potion on the island. Dark... The Dark Lord asked Kreacher to drink it... Kreacher drank it, and when he drank it, he saw something terrible... Kreacher's body felt like it was being burned. It was as if he was injured... Kreacher cried out for Regulus to save him. He cried out to Old Lady Black, but the Dark Lord just laughed... He asked Kreacher to drink up all the potion... He drank A box was placed in an empty basin...and he filled it with more potion."

Hearing this, Sirius felt like he was starting to feel uncomfortable again.

"Then the Dark Lord rowed away, leaving Kreacher alone on the island. Kreacher needed water. He slowly climbed to the edge of the island and drank from the black lake...many hands, dead hands. , stretched out from the water and pulled Kreacher underwater...

But Kreacher remembered his master Regulus' order that Kreacher must return...back home. "

Sirius suddenly remembered the note in the locket. It was impossible for Voldemort not to check it before placing it. He immediately asked Kreacher: "What happened next?!"

"Regulus is worried, very worried," Kreacher said hoarsely: "Regulus told Kreacher to stay in the house and not go out.

Then... after a while... one night Regulus went to his cupboard to find Kreacher. Kreacher could see that Regulus was very strange, different from usual, and his mind seemed confused... He asked Kreacher to take him to the cave, to the cave that Kreacher had been to with the Dark Lord.

After arriving at the cave, Regulus took out a box similar to the Dark Lord's from his pocket. "

As he spoke, Kreacher's tears poured down from both sides of his big nose: "He told Kreacher to take it with him, and once the stone basin was empty, he would replace the box... He also ordered... Kreacher to leave... him.

He also told Kreacher... to go home... not to tell the old lady... what he had done... and to destroy... the first box. He drank... all the poison... Kreacher changed the box... watched... Regulus... was dragged under the water by the Inferi... was..."

Everyone was silent, even Snape, who had always been at odds with Sirius, looked grim and kept silent. It seemed that they all saw a hero who was only seventeen years old being dragged into the water by the Inferi.

"No! No, he can't be like this!" Sirius grabbed his hair in despair, tears flowing uncontrollably from his eyes.

Li Zhuoguang glanced at Sirius: "This is why I asked you to retrieve the locket. Although I haven't seen him, I think this is what you should experience. Don't think of escaping when you encounter something in the future.

I have wiped out all the Inferi there. When you recover, let Kreacher take you back and find Regulus' body..."

Sirius suddenly pounced on Kreacher and picked him up directly, staring at him with red eyes, shaking him constantly: "Take me back! Take me back quickly! Now! "

Unfortunately, he was no longer Kreacher's master. Kreacher looked at Li Zhuoguang.

Li Zhuoguang knocked Sirius unconscious with a stunning spell and said to Kreacher, "Take him back to rest."

Kreacher bowed to Li Zhuoguang and disappeared with Sirius. After they disappeared, the principal's office fell into a long silence, and no one was in the mood to talk.

At this time, Li Zhuoguang took out a letter from his arms and said, "Put aside the bad things for now, let's talk about some good news. The Li family has found Nagini, and it is on the way, and it is expected to arrive tonight. "
