Hogwarts: What are the four great masters doing?

Just based on the crown among the Horcruxes, Ryan believed that Voldemort might have known about its disappearance.

This is not difficult to guess - Voldemort has been staying in the castle for more than a year.

Ryan believed that he must have entered the Room of Requirement during this period of time - even if he did not go in himself, he must have sent his minions in.

So Ryan thought that he must have known that the crown had been taken away.

Therefore, Ryan does not share the same concerns as Harry.

After hearing Ryan's words, Sirius's expression showed some gratitude.

Although he couldn't make his brother's deeds public, being able to clear him of the shameful title of Death Eater was enough to satisfy him.

but...

"Speaking of funerals—the Black family is very old, and I assume you must be closely related to all pure-blood families?"

Ryan asked softly at this moment.

"...Although I don't want to admit it, it's true."

After hearing this, Sirius said with some dissatisfaction.

That's right.

Of course, he hated pure-blood families and so-called pure-bloodism.

But he still had to admit that the Black family did have extremely deep ties with almost all pure-blood families. It could even be said that they were all more or less relatives of Sirius.

"Why are you asking? I'm not planning on having those guys at Regulus' funeral!"

And at this moment, Sirius said this.

"I know."

Ryan nodded: "But I hope you do this - to be more precise, I hope you invite those pure-blood families to attend the funeral."

"The death of a hero should be extremely influential, and I think Regulus's existence will also serve as an example to those pure-blood families."

Ryan advised: "Think about it, Voldemort's minions will hate and fear Regulus when they see him."

"There may be some pure-blood families whose faith in Voldemort is not so firm. They will admire him... That is not a bad thing, but it shows them a sense of justice."

Sirius was also stunned when he heard this.

Then he felt that this did seem to make sense.

He knew Regulus's character well—like all Blacks, he refused to be ordinary.

Since he had firmly chosen to fight against Voldemort in the end, Sirius believed that he must have hoped that his funeral would become a thorn in the hearts of those pure-blood families and Voldemort.

but...

"Ryan, why do you want me to invite those pure-blood families so much?"

Although Sirius was a bit reckless, he was obviously not stupid.

So at this moment, he immediately made a judgment.

Ryan obviously wanted him to invite those pure-blood families to attend the funeral.

"Indeed."

And Ryan didn't deny it.

"Among the pure-blood families, there is someone I want to meet."

"Who?"

After hearing this, Sirius frowned.

"The Malfoy family... I'm very interested in their current situation."

Ryan said softly.

"Speaking of which—I believe Narcissa Malfoy is your cousin?"

"...That's right."

After hearing this, Sirius nodded thoughtfully.

After roughly agreeing on Regulus' funeral, Ryan's purpose of coming to the Black mansion was achieved.

However, just as he was about to say goodbye and leave, Sirius stopped him.

"and many more!"

His tone became nervous and expectant again.

"I heard from Harry...you...you and Snotlout...ahem...I mean, Severus Snape—you were trying to resurrect Lily?"

He said so.

And these words made Ryan look at Harry helplessly.

Didn’t you agree that this matter wouldn’t be spread outside?

But Ryan understood.

For Harry, an elder like Sirius, who was almost like a father to him, was almost impossible to refuse.

He must have considered Sirius to be his true godfather, which is why he told him about Lily.

But it was obvious that Ryan was having a headache.

because...

"What is the method of resurrection? Harry didn't explain it to me clearly - is it a powerful spell passed down by Hufflepuff? What are the conditions for resurrection?"

Sirius asked repeatedly.

In fact, not only Ryan, even Harry could hear it clearly at this moment.

What Sirius was asking at this moment was not only Lily Potter, but more importantly his best friend - James Potter!

But obviously.

"Mr. James cannot be resurrected - Ms. Lily was resurrected due to a special spell..."

Ryan briefly explained Lily Potter's situation and the mysterious ancient spell on Harry.

And sure enough, after hearing his words, Sirius's mood visibly declined.

"I heard... that spell protected Harry and prevented him from living with me..."

He had apparently discussed formally adopting him with Harry.

But in disappointment, Sirius said to Ryan: "Also, why is it Snape - I dare say he must have bad intentions, that snotty..."

Sirius obviously had a lot of issues with Snape.

Harry, who already knew the relationship between Snape and his mother, looked embarrassed at this moment - in fact, this was also the problem he had been worried about.

But at this moment, Ryan shook his head and explained: "The potion needed to revive Ms. Lily can only be restored by a master-level potion master. It also needs to be absolutely credible, not to mention that a large amount of memories about Ms. Lily are required..."

He explained it briefly to Sirius.

But after hearing this, Sirius's reaction was even more intense: "That's even more of a problem - why did he use that snotty guy to describe Lily's memories? I dare say..."

He spoke wizard slang and had a pretty big reaction.

Ryan just wanted to laugh when he heard it, because he vaguely remembered that Snape had used similar words to evaluate Sirius.

"That idiot, his memories will only taint Lily with the aura of stupidity!"

So much so that Ryan even had an idea at this moment - why not just pull Sirius into the research team to resurrect Lily Potter.

"That would certainly be fun."

Ryan muttered in his heart.

But in the end, he obviously didn't say anything more.

"Harry, don't come here - the situation in the wizarding world is not good recently, don't expose Sirius's existence."

"You're really not very good at lying."

He just said this to Harry and then said goodbye and left amid the latter's embarrassed expression.

But Harry felt very dissatisfied when he heard Ryan's ridicule.

He was clearly a good liar – Ron, for example, never doubted his purpose in any of his visits to Hogsmeade.

As for Ryan, after leaving the Blake house, he returned to school.

He went straight to the principal's office.

But what surprised him was.

Dumbledore was not in his office at the moment.

This made Ryan feel very strange - because when he went to see Sirius today, he had informed Dumbledore in advance.

So he originally thought that the old wizard would definitely be waiting for news in the office.

What surprised him even more was that not only Dumbledore was not there, but Fawkes was also not there.

"Could it be that Fawkes took Dumbledore out of the castle? That's not right... Dumbledore said Fawkes was about to achieve nirvana and no longer had the ability to Apparate..."

Ryan muttered as he walked into the office.

In addition, he also noticed that many of the principal's portraits in the office were turned upside down.

He was no stranger to this situation—Dumbledore always did this when there was something that was inconvenient for the headmasters to know.

Well... As far as Ryan knew, the most recent time was when Dumbledore wanted to keep his collection of candies safe, but was afraid that the portraits of the headmasters would tell Ryan.

"Oh, little master."

Fortunately, there was still a living thing in the office at this moment - if a hat could be considered a living thing.

"hat."

But it just so happened that after seeing the Sorting Hat, Ryan asked curiously.

"I have to ask you a question."

"You say, young master."
