THE TALE OF THE RIDDLE

Strange Letter (Part 4)

They were gone......

1976 Slytherin Common Room

In the dark of the night deep in the dungeons, the Slytherin common room was located behind a bare stretch of wall and required a password for entrance.
Inside it was decorated with green lamps and, dark chairs and leather sofas, the common room extended underneath the Great Lake which gave the room a green tint.
The walls were decorated with tapestries and a large mantelpiece contributed to the grand rather than cosy atmosphere of the room.
In the room resided three boys all of them looked like Greek men.

The boy who was sitting on the green couch elegantly and smoking he has a muscular physique, great height, white skin tone, bright blue eyes and soft chestnut hair. This is Barty Crouch Jr.

Then on the arm chair is a boy reading a book he has a slim body build with a toned figure, fair skin, beautiful black curly hair and lonely light green eyes. This is Regulus Black.

Then on the other couch is a boy who is pouring a drink in the glass he has brown fluffy hair, athletic body, cold light blue eyes and tanned fair skin. This is Evan Rosier.

These boys are heir of mighty and ancient house of Crouch, Black and Rosier. They come from a very strict and cruel family due to which they have lost many things and have lived a traumatic life which is and will still go on in their future.

They are fighting a war inside them trying to kill all the demons in their life and trying to start a fresh but again they are pulled back in that hell again and again failing their struggle, people around them think of them that they are snobish brats who think highly of them selves or some see them as bullys but they are not able to sense the sadness and see how broken they are. They are left alone in the dark only clinging on each other to survive not knowing how long they can go on.
These three friends have been together since their first year in this school and are still together fighting the world.

Evan says to Regulus "yo Reg stop reading come and join us" "No thank you Evan I am not interested in up drinking on a first school night and waking up with a hangover the next day" Evan rolled his eyes and Barty chuckled at him "Hey stop laughing at me" "I am not laughing at you I am laughing at your stupidity you know very clearly that our dear Reg doesn't drink until and unless he is not in a wiiiild mood isn't it Reg" Barty looks at Regulus with a smirk plastered on his face "Shut up Bar" Regulus closes his book looks directly at Barty and says "is it true you are going to join him?" At this question Barty's smirk dropped and his expression turned cold and hard to read and Evan's mouth hung open he was speechless thinking why? What happened? Why does he want to join that monster? He will get killed or torchered or something worse might happen if things dont go correctly. Like how he and Regulus will, as they don't have any other choice as once when they will graduate out of school their parents will force them to join that monster. He closed his mouth and gritts his teeth in anger and shouted at Barty "WHY BARTY? WHY DO YOU WANT TO DO THIS? We WILL HAVE TO DO AS WE HAVE NO CHOICE BUT YOU, YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO IT YOU NEED TO LIVE YOUR LIFE AND ACCOMPLISH YOUR DREAMS WHY DO YOU WANT TO DO THIS WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO WALK IN THE MOUTH OF DEATH ITSELF WHY?" "Evan shut up and let him speak you will wake the whole school up with your screaming" Regulus whispered shouted Evan went quiet but he was still fuming with anger.
Barty speaks up "how did you get to know about this?" Evan was going to say something again but Regulus stopped him and replied "I heard my parents talking the other night that how the dark lord has recruited son of a light Auror who is in Slytherin therefore I deduced that it is you as you are the only one in Slytherin whose father works for the light side" Barty hung his head down and there was sadness lurking in his voice when he said "I didn't have any option they came for me I tried to deny them but then they tried to hurt my mum and said that if I didn't make join they will kill my mother and you both know how much my mom means to me and I will do anything to save her. I-I am sorry for letting you both down but I swear I didn't have any other option it was this or my mother's life" tears started to fall from his eyes when he reached to the end which broke both the other boys as it was rare thing to see him cry as he was the strongest out of three of them and would always keep smiling after everything that would happen. Evan hugged him and started saying comforting words to him and Regulus joined them soon. The hug lasted for an hour. It actually made all of them feel much better and loved.
After sometime the broke the hug and Evan asked "Have you been marked?" "No, not yet he would do it after I graduate." Came Barty's reply Evan snorted at this and said sarcastically "he cares about your education wow." Making the other two chuckle.
Before any of them could say or add anything else their was a blinding flash of light and an old looking envelope was their on the table. Regulus gasped when he felt the magic reeking from it, it was so pure, beautiful and exceptionally powerful. This power cannot be held by any mortal human with this kind of purity. He understood that this is not from this world but from the upper realm which made him more shocked as these things are only stories and myth but here he was seeing and feeling with his own eyes all of this felt like a dream so he slapped himself hard which made the other two people who were in the room jump. "Regulus what the heck why did you do that you scared me to death" Evan exclaimed clinging onto Barty.
"Get off me Evan and what the heck is this? How did it even came here? And who sent it?" Barty started firing his questions. "I think I might have an idea from where it is?" Regulus said and continued after looking at both the curiousfaces looking at him "It wasn't sent from anyone outside as no harmful material and dark magic substance can be sent inside the Hogwarts and no one inside the Hogwarts is capable to do this unless it's a seventh year or a Proffesor." He took a deep breath in and continued "but it can't be sent by any Proffesor or any seventh year because the magic coming from this envelope is not any ordinary magic but one of the most purest and the powerful magic there can be that means this is not from the human world. And I know this sounds ridiculous but this is the truth" Regulus ended his speech with that and took a deep breath which he had been holding for so long. Neither Evan nor Barty could say anything because they knew that what Regulus was saying might be true as he is not the type of person who would joke on these type of matters and they also knew what he meant by feeling the magic as they were the only ones who knew about this gift Regulus has apart from his family. It made a history in Black family as their was no special child born in years due to inbreeding practiced in the family. Both the boys looked at each other and asked him together "then from where it is?....."
