Chapter 54: Kreacher (Ask for Recommendations!) )
"The master has a bad old man and a..."Kreacher muttered, and then looked at Egger with some confusion: "Incomparably pure blood, the master has the eye to make friends..."
"Bloodline?" Egger narrowed his eyes and was a little puzzled, speaking of which, the basilisk in the secret room also relied on the smell of the nose to distinguish the Slytherin heir, right?
How the hell do they smell?
Picking up his sleeves and sniffing vigorously, Egger smacked his lips dryly: "A smell of puff velvet, is it better than they raised puffy fluff in the kitchen?" ”
"It's said that these ancient species have a sense of smell that can smell blood, and I think that's probably why some pureblood families are pretentious..."Dumbledore nodded.
Sirius just wanted to scold something, but was immediately stopped by Egger on the side, Iger squatted down and looked at Kreacher in front of him: "Regulus, that is, the locket that your young master asked you to destroy, we can help you destroy it." ”
Kreacher looked at Egger in a daze, then whimpered loudly, and the figure disappeared again, and after a while he came over with a locket and looked at Egg expectantly.
"Master Regulus..."Kreacher trembled and reached out and handed over the locket, his big bat-like ears trembled, the white hair in his ears was curled, and his voice was a little choked, like the voice of a bullfrog holding his throat: "Master Regulus ordered old Kreacher to destroy it, but Kreacher could not leave a trace on it despite all means." ”
Sirius looked at the locket in Egger's hand in a bit of a daze, then turned his head to look at Kreacher, and his voice was low as if he had bitten it out of his teeth: "Tell me everything you know!" ”
Kreacher let out a scream and whimper, curled up in a ball, his wet face between his knees, and then his voice like a bullfrog sounded again.
"Young Master Sirius ran away, but it's better to go, because he's a bad boy, and his unruly behavior has broken the hostess's heart..."
"I'll let you say Regulus!!" Sirius roared roughly, Kreacher nodded as if he was a little sluggish, and continued: "But Master Regulus is different, he has self-esteem, he knows what the surname Black means, and for many years he often referred to the Dark Lord, and the Dark Lord wanted wizards to stop hiding and be able to come out and rule over Muggles and Muggle offspring... Young Master Regulus joined the Dark Lord's organization at the age of sixteen, and he was so proud and happy to be able to serve ......"
Egg grabbed the irascible Sirius by the arm, signaling him to be calm, and Sirius snorted hatefully.
"A year later, one day, Master Regulus came to visit Kreacher in the kitchen, and Master Regulus said..."
Kreacher's voice trembled a little, and his body kept shaking: "He said that the Dark Lord wanted an elf." ”
"Voldemort wants an elf?" Dumbledore looked at Kreacher thoughtfully, and then he was a little stunned.
"Yes," Kreacher's unpleasant voice sounded a little painful, "it was an honor for Master Regulus to contribute Kreacher, and Master Regulus said that it was an honor for him and Kreacher, and Kreacher had to do everything the Dark Lord wanted him to do...... Then, go home..."
Kreacher shook faster and began to sob.
"Bathroom Kreacher went to the Dark Lord, and the Dark Lord didn't tell Kreacher what to do, but took Kreacher to a cave by the sea, which was a large rock cave with a large black lake in the cave..."
Iger nodded, he knew what was there.
"There's a boat," Kreacher choked, "there's a stone basin on the island above the lake... It's full of potions, black—the Dark Lord told Kreacher to drink..."
Kreacher trembled, as if he thought of something terrible: "Kreacher drank it, and when he drank it, he saw a lot of terrible sights... Kreacher's internal organs are on fire... Kreacher shouted to Master Regulus to save him, calling for the mistress, but the Dark Lord just laughed... He forced Kreacher to drink all the potion...... Throw a locket out of the empty basin...... And he filled the basin with potions. ”
"Then the Dark Lord got on board and left, leaving Kreacher on the island......"
Kreacher needed water, and he climbed to the edge of the island to drink from the lake...... Many hands, dead men's hands, came out of the water and dragged Kreacher down..."
"How did you escape?" Sirius looked at Kreacher in disgust.
Kreacher raised his ugly head and looked at Sirius with bloodshot eyes: "Master Regulus said he wanted Kreacher to go home. ”
"I know!" Sirius shouted impatiently, and was stopped by Egger.
"The elves have different magic than wizards, they can apparition where the anti-manifestation charm is cast." Dumbledore whispered, "This is very much in line with Voldemort's style of doing things, according to his thoughts, Kreacher must have died there at that time, never thinking that the elves might have magic that he did not have." ”
"The supreme law of house-elves is the master's orders." Kreacher said dreamily, with a hint of joy in his tone: "The master told Kreacher to go home, and Kreacher went home......"
"And after that? What did Regulus say? Sirius pressed Kreacher, who shook his crumpled little man even more.
"Young Master Regulus is very worried, very worried...... "Kreacher cried out, "Master Regulus told Kreacher to hide, not to leave the house, and then ...... After a while...... One night, Master Regulus came to the cupboard and found Kreacher, Master Regulus looked very strange, not his usual appearance, and the young master asked Kreacher to take him to the cave, the same cave where Kreacher and the Dark Lord had been..."
"He made you drink potions?" Sirius snorted.
Kreacher shook his head and cried bitterly, Dumbledore opened his mouth in surprise slightly, with his knowledge, he should know what the potion was, and because he understood, even he couldn't help but be a little shocked.
"It's obvious..."Egg shook his head, "Regulus drank the potion, took an identical locket and made Klee switch Voldemort's locket, and then knew that it would be difficult for him to survive, and ordered Kreacher to go home, leave him alone, and destroy the locket, right?" ”
Tears flowed down his big nose and he struggled and nodded, sobbing thick and harsh.
"So you left him there? Yes?!! Sirius asked angrily.
"He commanded—Kreacher to leave—leave him alone, and call Kreacher—to go home—not to tell the mistress about what he had done, but to destroy—the first locket...... "Klee said in a staccato manner.
Sirius's eyes were red and he wanted to kick Kreacher, but was stopped by Egger: "He just carried out his master's orders, he was not wrong, I think even your brother would want you to treat him well." ”
Sirius took a deep breath, then nodded stiffly and leaned back on the couch beside him.
Iger sighed and reached out to touch Kreacher's ugly head: "Regulus finally realized Voldemort's tyranny, and I think he must have realized his mistake, so, if you really miss him, put away that set of pure-blood theories, this should be what he wants to see." ”
Kreacher bowed deeply to Egg, sniffed hard, and twitched slightly: "Old Kreacher understands, honorable Mr. Morissus, thank you for helping Kreacher complete the last order of the young master..."
"Your current master is only Sirius, you must recognize this, understand?" Iger told Kreacher repeatedly, "Your young master Regulus did the same thing as Sirius in the end. ”
"Kreacher knows—" Kreacher bowed his head and bowed to Egger again and again, and then the figure slowly disappeared.
