The topography of the seaside is abruptly high, revealing a black section under the erosion of the sea, forming a cliff that falls straight down.
The waves hit the reef, stirring up white foam and making a huge roar.
"boom!"
On the bare rock, three people suddenly appeared, two large and one small, one of whom was trembling and almost collapsed.
"Dragging you to Apparate is like dragging a mountain, Felix." Sirius said breathlessly.
"Excuse me, maybe I have too many magical objects." Felix said unnaturally. There are still a dozen dementors hidden in his ring, and these prisoners are squeezed into a small cramped place. In the mezzanine, there is no magical isolation, so Sirius is equivalent to apparating a group of people.
Only then did they have time to observe the surrounding environment, the black cliffs, the sea with waves on one side, and the mountains winding down on the other. Felix looked far and vaguely saw a village halfway up the mountain.
In addition, the surroundings were bare and desolate. Except for the vast sea and rocks, there was no tree, no grass or sandy beach.
Sirius pointed to a reef in the sea, "The mouth of the cave is directly below the cliff, and it is not visible now. We can Apparate onto that rock and transit..."
"Let's go."
Felix led them this time, and they quickly jumped to the edge of a narrow gap below the cliff. When the rolled sea water passed their feet, they took a few steps forward.
Soon, the crack turned into a dark underpass. The rock wall covered with slimy soil on both sides was two or three feet away from them. From time to time, a shell or similar thing could be crushed, and the air was full of salty. Rotten taste.
"This was brought in by the sea at high tide." Sirius said, raising his luminous wand, kicking a fish in front of them, and hitting a rock wall blocking the way with a small stone. "I cleaned it up before, but it reappeared within a few days."
Felix looked at the rock wall carefully. In the black and white view, powerful magic was superimposed on the black rock wall, and he smelled a powerful curse.
It can be seen that Voldemort is very good at cursing magic.
"I was blocked here. When I asked Kreacher, he didn't know that when he and Regulus came, they didn't encounter this wall..." Sirius explained.
"Kreacher, I remember you were here twice?" Felix asked softly, groping for the magic on the rock wall.
"Yes, yes, Mr. Haipu." Kreacher said, with a look of horror on his face. "The first time, Master Regulus approached Kreacher and said that the Dark Lord needed an elf... this is A kind of glory, Master Regulus asked Kreacher to complete the task assigned by the Dark Lord, and then...return and go home."
"Kreacher came here with the Dark Lord, without encountering a rock wall, he came directly to a **** lake with a boat... There was a stone basin on the island, and the basin was filled with potions, and the Dark Lord forced Kreacher to drink. Down……"
"Kreacher thought of a lot of horrible things, the memory of being punished, the hallucinations of being kicked out... the internal organs are like fire... Kreacher begged the Dark Lord, but he just laughed and made me drink up the potion... "
Sirius was silent. He had heard this story again, and he still felt uncomfortable. Felix said softly: "Test, he is testing his own protection measures."
"Kreacher felt like he was dying. The Dark Lord left Kreacher and left alone by boat... But Kreacher remembered the young master's order to go back and go home. Regulus found Kreacher and he was very worried. Hid Kreacher and take care of me alone..."
The house elf whispered.
"After a while, Master Regulus came to Kreacher... In the night, his attitude was very weird. I knew he was very confused during that time, and seemed to be worried about something... Master asked Kreacher to take him. When we arrived at the cave, we still didn't encounter this rock wall. We got on the boat and came to the island in the lake, and then..."
Sirius clenched his fists. He knew what was going on. Regulus drank the potion himself and told Kreacher to return home. He was not allowed to come back, and he was not allowed to reveal this secret to the mistress, except to explain to him to destroy it. The locket-that Horcrux.
Regulus himself was dragged into the water by the corpse in the black lake...
Felix was also moved by this past. It is hard to imagine that a pureblood would give up his life for the house elves, but he is also contradictory. He has followed Voldemort fanatically and sincerely believes that Voldemort can bring better to wizards. Life.
"My brother-Regulus, he was still young, he believed Voldemort's lies, he was only eighteen years old..." Sirius said hoarsely, "What a... fool."
Water droplets ticked down from the cave entrance, which obscured Sirius's inhalation. Felix pretended to be interested in the magic on the rock wall and watched attentively, without speaking for a long time. After a long time-
"Voldemort is quite confident. When he added the outermost protective measures later, he didn't check—"
"No, Mr. Haipu, Master Regulus imitated a locket, a fake... When he came, when he drank the potion, he threw it in, and let the potion disappear again. it……"
"Well," Felix said softly, "that makes sense. He missed an opportunity to correct his mistake."
Sirius asked: "How do we pass this rock wall? I tried some magic, but it didn't work, and the closer I got, the more disturbed the spellcasting. You see—"
He pointed his wand at the rock wall, and a very thin spell flew from the tip of the wand. The outline of an arch appeared on the rock wall, emitting a dazzling white light, as if there was a strong light shining behind the crack. But soon, the outline was gone, and the rock was still as hard and thick as before, and there was nothing on it.
"My opinion is that there is a vicious mind hidden in the rock wall-it is a rare curse that makes visitors pay the price and weaken themselves. Voldemort wants us to coat the walls with magical blood. However," Felix showed sarcasm and said contemptuously: "Everything he did was useless... We have a better way Felix took off the ring and placed it on the conch shell on the side. , Said gently: "Kreacher, would you like to help us through? "
Kreacher looked at him in surprise, "I, can I? I'm just a humble, ordered servant—"
"No, Kreacher, in some ways you are better than Voldemort."
Kreacher stared, his bat-like ears stirred uncomfortably, he didn't even have a decent dress, but someone told him that he was better than the dark demon who was feared by countless people.
"Will you, Kreacher? Do your part for Regulus?"
"When, of course! Kreacher is willing!"
Kreacher stretched out his hand tremblingly, Felix held it, and then the old, wrinkled house elf looked at Sirius with anticipation in his eyes, and Sirius also stretched out his hand.
The next second, the three of them disappeared in front of the rock wall.
