"Kreacher had no chance of getting out of here, and even if he wanted to misinterpret the order, someone else would have to intervene. Sirius expressed disbelief, "Kreacher has served the Black family for decades, and he can't possibly serve anyone else." β
Dumbledore shook his head, "Sirius, you're not the only one in the Black family. β
"You mean?" said the little wolf, "those Death Eater relatives of mine?"
Just before Christmas, Kreacher seized a brief opportunity. Dumbledore said, "When you were in the Great Thunder because Kreacher had put those old Black things back in their place, and you yelled at him, 'Get out,' he caught that and misinterpreted it as an order to leave the house." He went to your cousin Narcissa. β
"My God, Narcissa is the wife of Lucius Malfoy. Sirius was horrified, "How much did it leak?I'm going to kill it, G-"
Dumbledore stopped him, "Don't do it, Sirius, it's all because you've treated it so badly, and we didn't stop you, it's the result we deserve." β
"Kreacher is a house-elf! Serving wizards is what they should!"
"Sirius, Hermione heard her, she's going to fight with you. Silver gave a helpless expression, "House-elves should also be treated as sentient creatures, you don't have to be too nice to them, but you can't be too bad to them. Remember what Potter told you about Dobby, the house-elf, who was the elf of the Malfoy family, because the Malfoys treated him badly. So it disobeyed its master's orders and helped Potter in its own way. β
"That's just a special case. Jack. Sirius disagreed, "There are also vegetarian mutants among the giants, and they all died out in the end. β
"House-elves are the creations of wizards, but they have just as much emotion as any other creature. "It would be terrible to ignore that." For example, this time, Kreacher should have known that you went out to have fun with your friends, but he slyly only said half of it, saying that you went out for three days and didn't come back. This influences our judgment. β
"So I have to teach it a hard lesson. Sirius said.
"I said, don't do it. Dumbledore said, "I sensed something was wrong and gave Kreacher a deception, and it didn't reveal much of the key information. Thankfully, Narcissa had betrayed the Voldemort and fallen to the other. Otherwise, Harry wouldn't have been able to get out of the way. β
"But I don't like betrayers. Sirius stared at Dumbledore. "I can't let there be a ticking time bomb here. This is the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix, and my house-elf almost got into trouble, and it has to pay for his actions. β
"It's us, Sirius, who should pay the price. Lupin closed his eyes, "We did something wrong. β
"Remus is right, Sirius. Dumbledore said. "When we chose 12 Grimmauld Place as our headquarters, I reminded you to treat Kreacher with respect and kindness. I've also told you that Kreacher might be bad for us. But I don't think you took my words to heart, or that you didn't see Kreacher as a creature with the same sensitivities as humansβ"
"Alright, Dumbledore. Sirius burst out laughing. "Kreacher is such a nasty elf, even more annoying than my mother. It's useless for you to treat it well. It will whisper a curse to you for not dying because you have stepped into the Black family's territory. β
"Kreacher was conjured up by wizards, Sirius," Dumbledore said, "so he is sympathetic, and as you said, he doesn't like you, and he thinks your mother is his master." But because of the shackles of tradition, he has to obey your orders because you are the last person left in the family he serves. Whatever mistakes Kreacher makes, you must admit that you have not done anything that will improve his fate, Sirius. If you could have treated him better, I don't think Kreacher would have betrayed us. β
"Okay, but what's the point of you saying this now?" Sirius shrugged, "I'm not going to keep Kreacher anymore anyway, and since you're against me killing it, I'm going to set him free." β
"That's not going to work. Professor McGonagall snapped, "If he is set free, then the key information of the Order of the Phoenix will be exposed." β
"I'll let Kreacher serve at Hogwarts, I've asked him for advice, and Kreacher says he'll leave here as long as he can take one of his old master's belongings with him. Dumbledore said.
"That's a great joy for all, but I'm afraid it won't take my mother's portrait. Sirius said, "My mother has a permanent bonding spell on it, unless the wall is torn down. β
"I have a way to do this, Sirius. Dumbledore said, "As I searched Kreacher's memories, something interesting came to me about your brother. β
"Regulus?" said the little wolf, "he's already dead, could it be that he really stole Voldemort something?" he was a good boy since he was a child, even if he joined the Death Eaters, he was bullied, and he dared to steal Voldemort's things?"
"If Kreacher's memory hadn't been altered, then it was. Dumbledore said, "Your brother did steal what Voldemort regarded as a treasure of life. β
"More than a decade ago, Voldemort approached your brother Regulus and said he needed an elf. So your brother gave Kreacher to Voldemort. Voldemort took Kreacher to an island in the cave lake, where Voldemort made Kreacher drink the potion from the island's stone basin, and then threw a locket into the stone basin, which was supposed to be one of his Horcruxes, and then Voldemort filled the basin with potions, and Voldemort left. The arrogant Voldemort, like you, neglected the power of the house-elves, and Kreacher Apparition returned to House Black and told your brother Regulus everything. Your brother Regulus is very worried, I think he was transformed during this time, and guessed that Voldemort made a Horcrux in order to seek eternal life. He ordered Kreacher to return with him to the islandβ"
"Wait, why is that!" Sirius said, "why didn't he tell me that he had decided to oppose Voldemortβ"
"Sirius, did you care about your brother? You left House Black before this. Dumbledore sighed, "Your brother drank the potion in that stone basin that was deadly for wizards, and dropped Voldemort's Horcruxes. Your brother died silently on the path of fighting Voldemort alone, and no one knew that he died against Voldemort except for a poor house-elf Kreacher, who was a brave man, Sirius. β
