Chapter 067: Regulus

"If it weren't for your insistence on persuading Dad to replace the secret keeper with Wormtail, they wouldn't have died because of his betrayal, and I wouldn't have become an orphan and been abused by the Dursleys!" "Harry" shouted angrily in Voldemort's voice, which felt weird, but Sirius was too frightened to move.

"Self-righteous fool, impulsively running for revenge, but being forced to go to jail, obviously you are a complete fool who only grows muscles and no brains, repented for 12 years, but does not understand what orphans really want, your age is always 16 years old, you have never grown up, you have not fulfilled your responsibilities as an adult." "Catherine" scolded, draining Sirius's remaining strength, and he fell to his knees with a thud, silently holding back tears.

Lupin came to his senses at this time, and hurried into the living room, only to be surprised to find that Catherine had gone behind the locket at some point, and the two trees that had been conjured out of the two eyes had not noticed at all, their hair dancing like flames, their eyes glowing red, and smiling wickedly.

"You're right!" Catherine half-knelt down and pressed her right hand to her eyes, and the two trees turned to look at her in shock, "He's a Gryffindor who doesn't know how to make up, and he will never understand Slytherin's pride." With a hard tug on her hand, the two trees shrank back into their eyes with a scream.

"Throw it away! Catherine! Lupin shouted, holding Sirius, who had collapsed to the ground.

[Destroy what enters my body.] Catherine said something silently in her heart, then smiled and took out a crystal bottle, and threw the two eyes in her hand into it, "This thing can't be littered!" She took a deep breath and waited for the blood-colored pattern on her skin to disappear completely, before raising her wand and casting a series of spells on the crystal bottle, then enclosing it in a box and protecting it with a series of magic.

"Why is there a Dark Lord thing in the house!" Only then did Narcissa tremble and ask, "Kecheli! ”

House-elves are called. Seeing the situation of everyone, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, but when he noticed the locket box at Catherine's feet, he couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

"Regulus's locket! What happened and why did it turn on! Shocked, Kecheli threw himself in front of the locket, "No! It's not the same! The house-elf snapped his fingers, and a beam of flame immediately fell on the locket, but there was nothing unusual about the locket.

"Why can't it be destroyed?" Kecheli cried hysterically.

"If you're referring to the source of its trouble, then I've fixed it and now it's just Salazar. A Slytherin relic. Catherine extinguished the flame and closed the locket gently. Put it back in the window.

"Is it really solved?" Kecheli asked with tears in his eyes.

"I can swear!" Catherine smiled and patted the box containing Riddle's eyes, "Now can you tell me what happened to Mr. Regulus?" ”

"Master Regulus said that he can't tell his family about what he did." Tears welled up in her eyes, but she closed her mouth tightly when she turned to look at Narcissa and Sirius.

"I'm not from the Black family, can you tell me?" Catherine persuaded in a gentle voice, and everyone else held their breath nervously.

"Yes!" Kecheli hesitated for a moment before nodding and crouching on the ground. Shaking and began to tell the secret he had hidden for 14 years.

"Young Master Regulus joined the Dark Lord's organization at the age of 16, he is so proud, so happy, to be able to serve the Dark Lord."

Sirius seemed to want to protest against this statement. But Lupin covered her mouth, Narcissa closed her eyes in pain, and Narcissa hurriedly held her in her arms to comfort her.

"A year later, one day. Master Regulus came to visit Kecelli in the kitchen. Master Regulus has always liked Kecelli, Master Regulus said...... He said...... "The old house-elves are shaking faster," he said—he said the Dark Lord wanted an elf. ”

Harry couldn't help but ask. Thankfully, Draco stopped him in time.

"Regulus contributed to Kechelli." "It's an honor, Master Regulus said, it's his own glory and that of Kechelli, and that Kirchelli must do what the Dark Lord wants him to do—and then go back—home." ”

Kecheli swayed faster, and his breathing turned into sobs.

So Kecelli went to the Dark Lord, and the Dark Lord did not tell Sù Kecelli what he was going to do, but took him to a cave by the sea, which was a large cave with a large black lake...... There is a boat...... There was an island in the lake, and on the island there was a stone-stone basin, full of potions. ”

Everyone listened intently to what Kechelli had to say.

"The Black--The Dark Lord told Kechari to drink...... "Kechelli shuddered, "and when he drank it, he saw a lot of horrible sights--Kechelli's internal organs were on fire--Kechelli called for Master Regulus to save him, and called for the hostess, but the Dark Lord just laughed---He forced Kechelli to drink all the potion--He threw a locket into the empty basin--He filled the basin with potions. ”

All eyes were on the locket, they already knew where it came from, and they knew that their fate would change drastically.

Then the Dark Lord got on board and left, leaving Kechelli on the island...... Kecelli needed water, and Kecelli climbed to the edge of the island and went to drink the water from the lake - many hands, dead people's hands, came out of the water and dragged Kechari down - and—"

"Then you remember that Mr. Regulus wants you to go home." Catherine interjected suddenly, her voice whispering.

Kecheli lifted his ugly head and looked at Catherine with large, bloodshot eyes.

"The supreme law of house-elves is the master's orders." "The master told him to go home, and he went home......

"And what happened when you came back?" Catherine asked gently, "What did you say when you told Mr. Sù Regulus?" ”

"Young Master Regulus is very worried, very worried." "Master Regulus told him to hide and not leave the house, and then—after a while—one night Master Regulus came to the cupboard to look for Quecelli, and Master Regulus looked strange, not like he usually looked, and he could see that he was in a state of confusion...... The young master told Kecelli to take him to the cave, the same cave where Kecelli and the Dark Lord went—"

Sirius closed his eyes and buried his head between his hands, Lupin patted him on the shoulder and comforted, Narcissa lay on Lucius's chest, silently in pain, Draco looked up in the direction of Regulus's bedroom, his expression was extremely complicated, only Harry looked around for some reason, and then heard Catherine ask in a very sad voice:

"He drank the potion himself, didn't he?"

Kecheli nodded, crying bitterly, and Harry realized, his eyes wide in shock.

"Master Ray Regulus took a locket out of his pocket, just like the Dark Lord's," Kecelli said, tears streaming down the sides of his long nose, "and he told Kecelli to take it, and when the stone basin was dry, change the locket......" Kechelli's sobs became thick and harsh.

He ordered—Kechelli to leave—to leave him alone. He told Kecheli to go home - not to say to the mistress - what he had done - but he had to destroy - the first locket. Then he drank - drank the potion - Kecelli replaced the locket - and watched...... Master Regulus...... Dragged underwater...... Then ......" Kecheli fell to the ground and slammed his head on the floor.

"Stop him—stop him!" Harry shouted, but no one answered him, Sirius fell to his knees again, and Narcissa cried to the point of fainting.

"It's all petrified!" Catherine immobilizes Kechelli and prevents him from punishing herself.

But Kecelli's forehead was swollen with a big bag, his eyes were red and bloodshot, and tears were streaming down his face, and he lay on the ground, shivering and scurrying.

?“ Kecheli! It's not your fault, the wrong one is Regulus. Catherine comforted gently.

"Catherine, what nonsense are you talking about?" Harry asked in shock, turning to look at the others, only to find that none of them objected.

"He was wrong for not recognizing the nature of the Dark Lord, thinking that what the Dark Lord was going to do was just a small thing, so he gave you the order to go home." Catherine explained as she treated Kecelli, "When you get home, he realizes how much trouble he's caused his family, and if the Dark Lord knows you're still alive, the Black family will be absolutely ruined." ”

Harry's eyes widened, and it was only then that he realized how harsh the situation really was.

"Actually, the easiest way to do that was to just put you to death, and then hide the memories related to the cave, as if this mistake had never happened."

Kecheli stopped shaking, but cried even harder.

"But Regulus is too kind, he can't let you die, and he can't understand why the Dark Lord went to great lengths to hide a locket, he must have gone to find the truth, only to find out that the idol he had always admired turned out to be just a mad devil, and his own family was already in this quagmire from which he could not escape."

Harry covered his mouth in disbelief as he looked at Sirius and Narcissa and suddenly understood why they were so grieved.

"Regulus is too young to have enough strength to drag the family out of this quagmire, so he has to resort to the most negative methods to stop the family from sinking, and he chooses to sacrifice his life to make up for all the mistakes he and his family have made."

A cry of pain rang out throughout the old house, and Walburga shouted hysterically: "O my stupid son! (To be continued......)
