"What do you call me for, young master?" the house-elf Kreacher appeared in front of the cold, empty fireplace: it was small, thin, half-man tall, with pale skin hanging down, and a large amount of white hair emerging from its bat-like ears. A filthy rag he was wearing.

"My poor mistress, how sad she must have been if she had known that the scumbag had entered the room of the boy Regulus with a bunch of scum from outside?

"Kreacher, I didn't ask you to say these things when I called you here, you have to respect me and my friends. Sirius said.

"Yes, master. Kreacher said hoarsely in his bullfrog voice, bowed lowly, and then continued to mutter, "Back to my mistress's old mansion, in Master Regulus's room, with outsiders who don't know what they're doing here, are they trying to steal?"

"Kreacher! I have something for you. Sirius roared, "I command you to answer truthfully. ”

"Yes, master. Kreacher said, bowing lowly again.

"I ask you, how did Regulus die?"

The elf shivered and staggered.

"I ask you, how did Regulus die? Sirius roared, "Did he give you anything?"

Kreacher gasped for air, his shriveled chest heaving sharply, and then he opened his eyes and let out a blood-clotting scream

"Young Master Regulus is dead!Clarion made a mistake, and Kleice failed to carry out Master Regulus's orders!"

Kreacher rushed to the fire stick standing by the fireside. Be prepared to punish yourself.

"Quickly imprisoned. Silver was quick and used the Prison Charm to stop Kreacher, who was about to punish him. But Kreacher still howled loudly.

"Shut up. Kreacher. Sirius said.

Kreacher lay straight on the cold stone floor, his mouth closed, tears pouring out of his sunken eye sockets.

"All right, Kreacher, I command you not to punish yourself. Sirius said, "I'm going to hear the truth now, how did Regulus die, and what was the last order he gave you?"

Sirius lifts Kreacher's imprisoning spell.

Kreacher sat up. Curl up in a ball, tuck your damp face between your knees, and start rocking back and forth. When he spoke, his voice was muffled.

"Master Sirius has fled, and it's good to be gone, for he is a bad boy, and his unruly behavior has broken my mistress's heart. But Master Regulus had self-esteem. He knew what the surname Black and his pure bloodline meant. For many years he often spoke of the Dark Lord, who wanted wizards to come out and rule over Muggles and Muggle offspring instead of hiding...... When Young Master Regulus was sixteen years old, he joined the Dark Lord's organization, and he was so proud, so proud. So happy, to be able to serve ......"

"Alright, Kreacher, to get to the point, there are some things I already know. Sirius was a little displeased. "Tell me how Regulus died?"

Kreacher looked a little dazed, "Young Master Sirius and that white-bearded old man seem to be in the same group. Knew something from Kreacher's memory. ”

"The Dark Lord took Kreacher to a cave, and Kreacher almost didn't make it back alive. After returning home, Young Master Regulus was very worried, very worried. Kreacher hissed.

"Master Regulus told Kreacher to hide and not leave the house. And then...... After a while...... One night, Master Regulus went to the cupboard and found Kreacher. Young Master Regulus looked strange, not like he usually looked, and Kreacher could tell that he was in turmoil...... The young master told Kreacher to take him to the cave, the same cave where Kreacher and the Dark Lord had been......"

"Master Regulus took out a locket from his pocket, the same one from the Dark Lord," Kreacher said, tears streaming down the sides of his long nose, "and he told Kreacher to take it, and when the stone basin was dry, replace it......

Kreacher's sobs became thick and harsh.

He orderedβ€”Kreacher to leaveβ€”to leave him alone. He told Kreacher to go home - not to say to his mistress - what he had done - but he had to destroy - the first locket. Then he drank - drank the potion - Klee cut it out and replaced the locket - and watched...... Master Regulus...... Dragged underwater...... Then ......"

"And then he died. Little Sirius said. "So, you brought the locket home, did you try to destroy it?"

"Kreacher couldn't leave a trace on it. The elf said sadly, "Kreacher tried everything, everything, but none of them, none of them succeeded...... There was so much magic on the box that Kreacher believed that the only way to destroy it was from the inside, but it couldn't be opened...... Kreacher punished himself and tried again, and punished himself again and tried again. The mistress was mad with grief, because Master Regulus was missing, and Kreacher could not tell her what had happened, no, because Master Regulus forbidden, forbidden, forbidden, to tell his family, the people of the family, about the rock, the cave, ......"

Kreacher sobbed.

"So, Kreacher, where is the locket now?" Sirius said.

"You're doing a great job, Narcissa, and I'm very happy with what you've done. It looks beautiful, doesn't it?" said young Tom Riddle, looking at the object on his right hand. "I will consider giving your son the supreme reward, which you couple deserve. ”

It's a glittering golden locket with a gorgeous, serpentine sparkle in the light......
