Chapter 195: Kreacher and Regulus
"What's going on up there?" the little wolf asked urgently, dragging Aven to his feet, "We just heard a scream, a man's dying scream. โ
"That's right, that terrifying voice is very terrifying, as if it goes straight to the deepest part of the soul, and it makes people shudder. Hermione nodded, staring at Evan and said worriedly, "You didn't have any accidents, did you, Aven?"
"My scar hurts, it's like," Harry said.
"Don't worry, I don't have anything to do, the sound I made when I broke this thing. Evan handed the Slytherin locket.
Although the Horcrux was no longer useful, he didn't throw it away.
Not to mention that as a Slytherin relic, this locket itself is very collectible.
The strange text lines on it also made Ai Wen very concerned.
Salazar Slytherin couldn't have left these things on the locket for no reason, not simply decorating the pattern, he was supposed to be sending some kind of message.
According to his own guess, if these lines were not words, they were a very unpopular magic array, so unpopular that even Voldemort himself did not notice it.
Although this is unlikely, it cannot be denied.
Aven was going to go back and look into it and see if he could make any new discoveries.
"What is this?" Sirius stared at the locket in his hand, his gaze focused on the capital letter S, where he seemed to have seen a similar pattern.
"This is the locket handed down by Salazar Slytherin himself, and the capital S letter is the coat of arms of the Slytherin family. โ
Sirius suddenly, no wonder he felt like he had seen this pattern somewhere.
If you flip through the book "Born Noble: A Wizard's Family Tree", the third pure-blood wizard family introduced above is the Slytherin family, and the most memorable of them is the snake-like family crest in front of you.
"This Slytherin locket, I just found it in the dining room window, I took it out out out of curiosity, and then I realized that something was wrong, this locket was talking to me, it was a dark magic item. Evan explained, "Harry, Hermione, remember Tom Riddle's journal we met last year? If I'm not mistaken, this locket is the same thing as that journal. โ
Hearing his words, Harry and Hermione's faces instantly turned pale, and they understood what Evan was trying to say, this locket was a magical item left behind by Voldemort.
Seeing Harry and Hermione's inquiring gazes, Evan nodded.
In fact, he had thought about it for a long time and finally decided to tell the story instead of continuing to hide it.
Since this Horcrux has been destroyed, it is natural to tell Dumbledore that there is no point in concealing it, although there are some coincidences, but it can be said that it is his luck to find and destroy this Horcrux.
Sirius, Harry, and Hermione were there, and even if Dumbledore had doubts, he wouldn't think too much about it.
What's more, through the capture of Peter Pettigrew, Evan suddenly discovered that Dumbledore was not as he imagined, as long as he could try and do something selectively as long as he tolerated it.
The atmosphere on the stairs was heavy, Harry and Hermione were pale and could not see the slightest blood, and they were still immersed in the terrifying news that Evan had brought to them.
"Tom Riddle's diary, what are you three talking about?"
Sirius alone didn't know what had happened, and they hurriedly explained to him what had happened last year.
"I don't understand, if this locket is a dark magic item made by Voldemort, then why is he in this house?" Sirius's face became more serious.
"This question can be asked of Kreacher, he should know. Evan whispered.
They returned to the dining room, and Sirius immediately summoned Kreacher.
Still clutching the worn, dusty green tapestry, Kreacher stood in front of the cold, empty fireplace, looking at the four of them with contempt.
"Young Master, what else do you have to summon Old Kreacher?" Kreacher said hoarsely in his bullfrog voice, bowed lowly, and muttered to his knees, "After destroying the Black family's book collection, the scum young master and the three little cubs he brought back still want to"
"Do not say these things before me from now on. Sirius roared, "I have a question for you, and you must answer it truthfully, understand?"
"Yes, young master!" Kreacher bowed again.
Evan saw his lips squirm silently, no doubt silently reciting the insulting words that were now forbidden to him.
"This locket!" Sirius tossed the Slytherin locket, "it's not from the Black family, where did you get it?"
"Thisโthis is Master Regulus's locket!" Holding the locket, Kreacher suddenly shuddered and staggered.
"My brother's?" Sirius was stunned for a moment, he had just heard the explanation from the three of Evan and the others, and knew that this thing was a magical item made by Voldemort.
It looks like it's pretty much what he thought, it should be Voldemort asking Regulus to keep it.
I don't know what their plans are, but it's certainly not a good thing.
"Master Regulus's locket!" Kreacher gasped, his shriveled chest rising and falling sharply, "Kreacher made a mistake and failed to carry out the young master's orders!"
Then, he let out a blood-clotting scream.
In the next second, Kreacher rushed at the fire stick standing by the hearth with extraordinary speed, and Harry, who was standing next to him, instinctively reacted by rushing over and holding him down.
Kreacher was still resisting, and Evan was about to rush to Harry's aid.
Hermione's screams mingled with Kreacher's cries, but Sirius's roar was louder than they were.
"That's enough, Kreacher, I command you not to move!"
Kreacher immediately stopped struggling, tears streaming down his long nose into his grinning mouth, and a mouthful of gray teeth could be seen.
Evan and Harry lay on top of him panting, and Sirius came over to separate them, and he took Kreacher in his hand and shook it violently, as if the house-elf were a ragged garment.
"Tell me everything you know, where did this locket come from, and what does my brother Regulus have to do with it?" Sirius roared loudly, "I command you, tell me, everything about this locket. โ
Kreacher's unusual reaction told Sirius that the locket had a lot to do with his brother's death, and that they must have done something about it. (To be continued.) )
