Harry Potter and the Old Ones

"We are going to take Regulus Black home today." Tiera said as she walked to the edge of the rock.

"Regulus?" Dumbledore followed Tiera in confusion, "Regulus Arcturus Black?"

There are many jagged grooves in the rock that can be stepped on, leading to the giant pebbles below that are half exposed to the sea around the cliff.

It is very dangerous to climb down the rock from here, but this does not trouble Tiera and Dumbledore. Tiera's lower body turns into a dense fog with an indescribable color. Tiera is like a ghost, a monster walking on the cliff. on a stone.

"Light." After arriving in the cave, Tiera muttered lightly.

Endless light pours in from outside the cave like a tide, the shadows recede, and everything inside the cave is invisible.

There are dark and hard rock walls on both sides, and turbid sea water is beneath the feet. The surrounding air is filled with the pungent smell of salt and rotten seaweed.

Tiera continued to move forward with Dumbledore, and the cave became narrower and narrower. Soon, the cave turned into a deep and dark crack——

This is a man-made secret passage. When the tide rises, the secret passage will be filled with sea water. The rock walls covered with mud on both sides are only three feet wide, and they are getting lower and lower. Soon, where visible to the naked eye, The channel has been flooded by sea water.

Tiera waved her hand.

The surrounding secret passage instantly became wider, and the sea water also split to both sides, revealing a slightly damp ground.

Tiera and Dumbledore walked away leisurely.

After walking downward for a while, the direction of the secret passage suddenly went upwards, and at the same time the secret passage became wider and wider. Finally, after they walked for another five minutes, Tiera and Dumbledore stood in a huge cave.

"There are very strong traces of dark magic here." Dumbledore said after reaching out and touching the rock wall.

"This is it." Tiera said, took a few steps forward, stretched out her hand, and pressed it on a rock wall in front of him.

"Pfft -" A bone spur stabbed out of Tiera's palm, then shrank back, and blood flowed out like a faucet.

"Blood?" Dumbledore raised his eyebrows after seeing Tiera's weird behavior. After thinking for a moment, he said contemptuously, even disappointedly, "Is he trying to weaken your power before entering?"

"Yeah." After the rock wall had absorbed enough blood, Tiera took her hand back from the rock wall.

A dazzlingly white outline of an arch appeared on the rock wall. The blood-stained rock in the arch suddenly disappeared, revealing a doorway, which seemed to be endless darkness.

"Believe me." Tiera took the lead and walked into the darkness and said, "When Voldemort comes in next time and opens this place with blood, he will be surprised."

"Light!" Tiera shouted again after walking into the darkness.

Endless light poured in again, finally allowing Dumbledore to see clearly the scene in front of him——

They were now standing on the shore of a large black lake. The lake was extremely wide and stretched as far as the eye could see.

The cave they were in was so high that even when they looked up, they couldn't see the top of the cave.

In the distance, in the center of the huge lake, there was a hazy, green light.

Tiera looked up curiously, then looked down at the lake in front of her——

Although light has filled every corner of this space, the lake is still dark, as if there is a thick ink that cannot be dissolved hidden in the lake.

"This is the power of dark magic." Seeing Tiera staring at the lake, Dumbledore stood behind him and said slowly, "I have never seen such a powerful power of dark magic. It is hard to imagine that Tom is What a powerful black magic trap lurks in this lake."

"It's the Inferi." Tiera sneered, "It's so unethical to pollute such a large lake."

Dumbledore: ...

Is this just unethical?

Tiera did not look back at Dumbledore's expression standing behind her, but stretched out her feet and stepped directly on the water.

The water surface was like rocky ground, and Tiera stood firmly on the water surface.

"Come up, Professor Dumbledore." Tiera said with a smile, faster this way.

"Can't you open a door and go directly to the island in the middle of the lake?" Dumbledore looked at Tiera, and then at the island in the middle of the lake opposite.

"We're not here to find Horcruxes." Tiera smiled and said, then touched her right eye, "We still have time. The History of Magic exam is only halfway through, so let's talk slowly."

"As a defender of pure blood, Regulus Black was one of the first people to join the Death Eaters, but he did not do anything evil. Sirius once said that the first Death Eaters were not like the later ones. Torturing Muggles and Muggle wizards like that, he followed Tom for blood and power. When he was sixteen, he joined the Death Eaters, but three years later, when he was nineteen, he used his Life rebels against Tom's tyranny," Tiera said as she walked.

Dumbledore also tentatively stretched out his legs and stepped on the lake——

The surface of the lake was like a hard stone surface, and Dumbledore stood on it easily.

"We have no way of guessing Regulus' new path in the past three years." Tiera continued, "It may be that Tom Riddle gradually revealed his true colors, allowing Regulus to discover that the Dark Lord he once followed was not pursuing a pure plan. He did not believe in blood, but used brutal means to rule other people. This made him realize that his previous beliefs were completely wrong, and it also gave him the determination to fight against the Dark Lord."

At this time, Tiera and Dumbledore crossed the wide lake and arrived at the small island in the middle of the lake.

"Right here... maybe here." After stepping onto the small island in the center of the lake, Tiera pointed to the ground composed of white crystal stones and said, "After taking away the Dark Lord's Horcrux, Regulus Black He stayed here forever, struggling in pain in the darkness until he died, and then he was dragged into the lake by the Inferi in the lake and became one of them."

After saying that, Tiera continued to walk up, and soon she came to the top of the small island in the middle of the lake. There was a stone basin similar to a pensieve. The stone basin was filled with a pot of emerald green.

The green liquid emits sparkling light.

"This is a pot of potion." Tiera explained, "This pot of potion can only be drunk by people."

With that said, Tiera picked up the shell bowl placed next to the stone basin, scooped a bowl out of it and drank it.

"Hmm...it tastes good." Tiera took another spoonful and drank it. Tiera also smashed it in her mouth, "It should contain Hedeklis poison, Tolia hallucinogen, and the Curse of the Inferi." , petrified poison, aging curse..."

As she spoke, Tiera took another sip, and then continued to name several black magic curses or potions.

After Tiera took the last sip, a delicate locket appeared at the bottom of the stone basin.

Tiera reached out and picked up the locket, then smiled and threw the shell bowl into the lake.

"Plop -" with a sound, the shell bowl fell into the lake.

A stone stirred up thousands of waves, and the water in the shell bowl caused the entire underground lake to boil. Countless pale, thin, slimy hands stretched out from the bottom of the lake.

Countless dead bodies broke through the dark lake, searching for their instincts, sniffing the breath of the living, and crawled to the high ground of the island in the center of the lake.

Dumbledore cautiously pulled out his wand, while Tiera raised her hands and laughed——

“The Spirit of God is upon the waters!”

Tiera laughed and said, endless mist of indescribable colors poured out of Tiera's body and filled the entire cave.
