Chapter 867: It's just for you to keep it forever
Sirius finally stopped ravaging what little of Regulus's wretched brunette was left, and the massive immunity of the undead forced him to pull out his wand and turn it into a whip, trapping Regulus and flipping himself off of him, falling on his back as if he had just drained all his strength.
"Sirius, would you like to help you remove Regulus from his current state and restore him to his proper form before bringing it back?" Alan, who walked over, asked politely if he wanted to turn it back into an immobile corpse.
"No! I've got to get him home and show the old witch what her education has made Regulus look like!" Sirius sat up with his hands on the ground.
Alan didn't break Sirius's words, he seemed to be blaming his mother, but in fact he wanted to let Regulus meet again before burying him, and he and Sirius's mother, Lady Walburga Black, were "maddened with grief" after Regulus's disappearance.
"Alan, what about the other Yin Corpses?" Hermione's gaze swept over the bodies of the Muggle Yin Corpses, her gaze showing pity, Regulus could be brought back by Sirius to be buried, but these Muggle relatives would never be able to come here to take them back.
"We have to let them stay here for the time being, or the arrangement here will be useless..."Alan pondered for a moment, and began to let Lynch direct the Yin corpses back to the lake, "When this is over, I will use divination to send them back to their relatives one by one... If they can't be sent home, a dignified collective funeral will be held..."
Kreacher's two big ears drooped, and if the hostess saw her favorite son turned into a corpse, she didn't know what would happen, but unfortunately old Kreacher could no longer be by her side, and she couldn't go back to the Black family - Kreacher, who was sad in his heart, couldn't help but curse Sirius, if it weren't for the incompetence of this loser, he wouldn't have become someone else's elf.
Allen's gaze swept over the elf's body: "Kreacher, I order you and Sirius to get Regulus together and help him finish his funeral before coming back to me." ”
Sirius instinctively wanted to refuse, "No, Alan, Kreacher is already..."
"Sirius, I suggest you take Kreacher with you. In a situation like Regulus's now, it's not easy for you to control him alone. Eren stretched out his hand to interrupt Sirius's next words, and then raised his hand to Kreacher, who was about to scold with a puff in his shriveled chest, and continued to stop it, You already know Regulus's feelings for Kreacher, and your brother will be willing to see you do the same, and he will want Kreacher to attend his funeral, and regardless of the relationship between you and Kreacher, after all, Kreacher has faithfully served the Black family for so many years, and has taken care of Regulus for so many years, and let him attend the funeral and bury Regulus, which is also what Kreacher deserves. ”
With Sirius's temper, it was difficult for him to change his mind without giving enough reasons, so Alan patiently persuaded that although Sirius's face was not good-looking, he didn't say a word about Kreacher and him going back to bury Regulus, and turned around and prepared to start getting his brother up.
"Kreacher thank you, master. Kreacher bowed deeply to Allen, this time with much more sincerity, unlike the previous perfunctory.
Hermione's voice contained approval: "If the families with house-elves could be as reasonable as you are, Alan, the life of the house-elves would be much better." ”
Hermione paused, and she suddenly felt a cold egg-sized object in her hand being stuffed into her hand, and she looked down at the real Slytherin locket, an ornate S, made of many small emeralds, that shimmered dimly in the twilight illuminated by her wand.
"Hermione, give this locket to Kreacher. As the owner, I can't give it to him with my own hands. Alan explained softly to Hermione.
Hermione also showed a gentle smile to Ellen, she nodded knowingly, if Alan gave the locket to Kreacher himself, and the owner personally handed them a piece of clothing, it would mean setting him free, but in the traditional concept of a house-elf like Kreacher, it was a shame to think that it was expelled from the house by the owner - although the amulet was not strictly a piece of clothing.
"Kreacher, Alan wants me to pass this on to you. Hermione crouched down and shoved the locket into Kreacher's hand, "This is the real Slytherin locket, it was given by Mr. Regulus Black at the cost of his life, and I'm sure he would be willing to give it to you as a thank you...... Completed the task he gave you......"
"This... Can't!" Kreacher screamed incoherently and bowed to Alan again, "Master, this locket is a relic of the great wizard Salazar Slytherin himself, it's too valuable, Kreacher is just a house elf, he doesn't deserve something so precious!"
"It's an order, Kreacher, just for you to keep it forever. Alan spread his hands indifferently, "Keep it in the cabinet in your room after that, don't hide it, my Maggie will teach you some of the rules of my family." ”
Kreacher tilted his head and collided with Alan's gentle gaze, the elf's eyes moistened again, and he felt that the new master looked at him a little like Master Regulus - he finally took the pendant that Hermione handed over again, and made up his mind to make sure that he had wiped the place touched by the mudblood when he went back, and after hanging it around his neck, Kreacher hesitated for a moment, and then twitched comically at Hermione's already returning back, and tried to bow halfway.
"You shouldn't spoil the house-elves like this..."Sirius felt that Alan was too much kind to this house-elf, and when he saw Kreacher bowing to Allen, and even his attitude towards Hermione changed, he was a little surprised, thinking of the house-elf named Maggie he had once seen, he turned to Kreacher and said, "It seems that you can live a good life after you pass, and you will have your own room furniture." ”
Moments later, Eren opened an otherworldly door to Sirius outside the cavern and let them walk through.
With the loud sound of a series of metal crashes at the other end of the portal, the door to Black's old mansion opened, and Alan and Hermione on the other side of the portal witnessed Regulus finally return home after many years.
"Stay one night and then go?" Sirius turned back to invite, and Kreacher stood beside him, his thin body hugging at the doorframe, his eyes wandering over Alan's face, and behind him, Regulus's body was tightly bound by the belt that Sirius's wand had turned, and it twisted its body in an attempt to break free from it.
"No, Sirius, Hermione and I still need to fix the entrance before we leave, and you have a lot of business ahead of us, so we won't bother. Alan shook his head and let himself pass, "Just remember to keep it a secret, don't say anything." ”
"I owe you a favor... Counting the number I owe you before... Feel free to tell me if you have anything. Sirius nodded and didn't force it, feeling that he had received many favors, he didn't think that a house elf could repay it, and he thought that Alan was just using it as a reason to help him and his brother.
Saying goodbye again, after Sirius was fully inside, Alan dismantled the Otherworldly Gate, turned around and returned to the entrance of the cavern with Hermione, where several tall Death Knights dutifully guarded the entrance to the cavern inside.
