Chapter 855: The Black Family Has an Obsession
"It's disgusting, who is making this look like, stop crying, Alan still has something to ask you. Sirius muttered impatiently, disgusted in his tone.
Kreacher choked up and let out a loud hiccup.
"Sirius, you can't give out what you've seen this time before you continue to ask Kreacher, whether it's the Order of the Phoenix or Dumbledore or anyone else... I can't tell..."Alan narrowed his eyes and glanced at the middle-aged wizard, "Don't get me wrong, your brother must have his own reasons for explaining this to Kreacher, so that he doesn't want too many people to know, I trust you, but I don't trust your mouth, Gryffindor, I don't think there are many people other than Hermione who can keep secrets..."
"Tsk... You're too much troubleβ" Sirius retorted impatiently, then looked at Alan suspiciously, but eager to get news of Regulus, Sirius agreed, "Well, I won't reveal anything we talked about today. β
Alan expertly pulled out a piece of parchment from his belt bag, hovering it in the air, and then let his lit fingers begin to write on it in Latin, and quickly finished the contract, and then handed it to Sirius.
"Again, do you need to work so hard?!" Sirius took the contract from his hand with some annoyance under Allen's insistent gaze, but under the vigilance of it, he calmed himself down and scanned it to determine the contents of the contract before signing his name.
Eren then signed his full name, and the validity of the contract was once again binding the two of them - though this time the agreement was only unilaterally against Sirius to keep it a secret.
After doing all this, Alan continued to ask Kreacher, "Kreacher, later, which of you drank the potion?"
"It's Master Regulus. Kreacher slammed his fist on his head and cried bitterly, "Kreacher was willing to drink the potion for Master Regulus, Kreacher knew how painful it would be, but Master Kreacher ordered Kreacher to take a fake locket and change it when the stone basin was dry......"
Kreacher's sobs became thick and harsh, "Kreacher must take orders and leave him to go home...... He was not allowed to tell his family what he had done...... But the locket that the Dark Lord had put in must be destroyed...... Kreacher watched as Young Master Regulus drank the potion...... Dragged underwater......"
A long wail suddenly rang out in the room, and Sirius stood up, weeping in grief, and in a rage, he overturned the table, and in the ping-pong, the decorations on the table were scattered all over the floor. In the midst of the chaos, Sirius's face was pale, the corners of his mouth twitched, his body trembled violently, his eyes blurred, and his hands clutched the clothes on his chest, painful to the core.
After the secret that had been hidden for years was revealed, Kreacher's body shook violently, tears streaming down his long nose, tears mixed with snot and turned into a blur with its movements.
Regulus Sirius's fists clenched together so hard that his palms were pinched to the point that he left the marks of his fingernails, and he caught a glimpse of Kreacher, who fell to his knees and wept bitterly because he was so grief-stricken, that Sirius, who was so grief-stricken that he found an outlet like a madman, and denounced in disgust: "Kreacher, what are you doing! You just watched your master Regulus die?! Why didn't you stop him? Why didn't you stop him, and you would rather punish yourself and scold me, why didn't you stop him?" How can you watch him die!"
The more he thought about it, Sirius, who got angrier, walked up and kicked Kreacher down, but Kreacher had no intention of resisting, and fell to his knees and wailed that it was all his fault.
Sirius, however, was even more annoyed, and he drew his wand and pointed it at Kreacher, but a hand directly pressed Sirius's arm, stopping Sirius's movements, and Sirius tried to break free of this arm, but he was surprised to experience the experience of the former Black house-elf, and he was held by a dead grip, and he couldn't get rid of it at all.
"House-elves are a race that was conquered by sorcerers in ancient wars, and each one must be trained as a woman at birth, and must serve the master for generations. They are responsible for all the household chores and are bound by their masters, and they cannot disobey their master's orders at will, and if they disobey, they must punish themselves. For them, their highest right is to obey the orders of their masters. The supreme law of house-elves is the master's orders..."Alan shook the hand that let go of Sirius, who had stopped struggling.
"It's not as easy for Regulus, who is truly its master, to disobey Sirius's orders. "Hermione is committed to improving the lives of house-elves, and has done a lot of research on them, although the only cases she can get close to so far are her Dobby, Penelope's Twilight, and Allen's Maggie, and the house-elves recruited by the Umbrella who have lost their owners will try to hide when they see Hermione, just like the house-elves in the Hogwarts kitchen, because she always tries to pay them and take time off.
"The Mystic tried to kill him, and my brother sacrificed his life to defeat the Mystery!But this ugly thing still tried to sell my information to the Mystery!It happily misinterpreted its meaning with my order to get it out and revealed information about my intimacy with Harry to my cousins!" Sirius was still furious, "Your fifth-year Ministry of Magic battle was caused by him lying to Harry. β
"Sirius, Kreacher doesn't think so," Hermione said, wiping her eyes with the back of her hand, "he's a woman, house-elves are used to being treated badly, even cruelly, and the Mystics do no worse to Kreacher than they would normally be treated in a traditional family like yours. What does the wizarding war mean to an elf like Kreacher? he is loyal to his people, Mrs. Walburga Black used to be, and Regulus must have been, so he gladly served them and blindly followed their faith, I know what you want to say..."
Sirius tried to protest, but Hermione continued, "Regulus' mind has changed...... But it doesn't look like he told Kreacher that, does he? I think I know why, if Kreacher and Regulus's family keep their old purebloods, then they will be safest, Regulus is just trying to protect the people in the family, for Kreacher, Sirius you are a more terrible being than the mysterious man, in his mind you constantly betray this family, this is completely different from Regulus in his eyes, you don't have to try to justify, you yourself know it's true. For Kreacher, who has served the Black family for most of his life, he has been lonely for a long time when you come back, and he must have wanted some love, and I'm sure 'Miss Sicy' and 'Miss Bella' will be much kinder to Kreacher, so he is willing to do things for them, and told them everything they want to know, and I always say that wizards will pay for the way they treat house-elves, of course, the mystery man...... Sirius, you too. β
"Sirius, you never thought of house-elves as creatures with the same keen emotions as humans. Alan patted Hermione's back, who was a little excited, "This is the cause and effect, you have seen my Maggie, her loyalty to me makes me feel that I entrust my life to her, and even if you don't mention her, maybe you should look at Hermione's efforts in the past few years, how good the house-elves who are sheltered by her are, look at Dobby, even the sparkle of the Penelope family is far better than her mental outlook in the Crouch family." β
Sirius's arm drooped, and he sat back on the couch weakly, and as he calmed down, he muttered in grief, "Regulus, what kind of hero you cowardly and incompetent coward are, why don't you tell me...... You fool, you don't even have a decent helper by your side...... You're the bravest man in the Black family... I'm just a stupid brother..."
After so many years of no news of his brother, he had already assumed that he had been killed in some years, but Sirius never expected that Regulus would be sacrificed in such a way, which subverted the stereotype he had formed about this younger brother.
Regulus was too young at the time, and the brutal world of the Death Eaters in reality was nothing like the pure-blood glory he had imagined, but it was the moment the mystery man tried to kill Kreacher. Hermione Hermione looked sympathetically at the house-elf who was caught in self-blame, and stroked her tousled hair to look at Allen, "This is where we need to make some changes in this world." β
"You Black family have an attachment that Bellatrix used to follow the mystery man with the power to follow the mystery man, Nymphadora, like her mother Andomeda, used it to follow love to marry the werewolf Lupin and the Muggle-born wizard Ted Tonks, even if he was removed from your Black family for it, Draco's mother Narcissa used it to protect her family, Sirius you used it to prove the freedom you wanted, but when you were both gone, Regulus used this attachment to protect your entire family. Alan sighed and praised, "He's not like you, he's very proud of the Black family's book collection, your family's book collection has knowledge about Horcruxes, Horcruxes are not magic invented by mysterious people, but no one does him so much." The Mystic Man is too arrogant, but he is actually a half-blood wizard and grew up in a Muggle orphanage, and he has not had any family support to get to where he is today, I admire his efforts in this regard, but it is also the case, he blindly believes that no one in modern times will understand this advanced magic, and Regulas is suspicious of the Mysterio so sure that he will not die, he has heard of this kind of magic before, and after verification, he guessed correctly. β
Kreacher was already crying so much that he couldn't even make a sound, he just lay on the ground as if he had begun to spasm, and seeing the grief-stricken Sirius and Kreacher lying on the ground crying, Alan stood up: "Now, although I can't justify Mr. Regulus Black because of the special circumstances, it's time to go and bring back the hero's body, and I can't let him soak in that cold lake like this." β
