Chapter 1012: Regulus and Kreacher

......

"Regulus?!" Sirius's voice carried a hint of cold disgust, for Regulus, Sirius was more of a disdain, "He let you drink those potions again?"

Kreacher wept bitterly, his body trembling uncontrollably, which was completely beyond Sirius's reaction.

Regulus wanted to take Voldemort's Horcruxes, and in Sirius's opinion, the best way was for Kreacher to drink some potion, after all, Kreacher drank it once, and he didn't die, although it was not clear how he did it, but ......

Who cares if a house-elf lives or dies?

Even Van Lin looked at Kreacher in surprise, although he knew about Regulus's choice, but after getting Kreacher's confirmation, Van Lin was still shocked.

"Thunder...... Master Regulus pulled out a locket from his pocket, the same one the Dark Lord had ever had. Kreacher looked at the locket in Van Lin's hand, tears and snot mixed on his face, it looked like the elf was in pain, "He told Kreacher to take it, and when the stone basin is dry, change the locket for a while......

"Master Regulus ordered Kreacher to leave him alone. No matter what happened to him, Kreacher couldn't turn back, and Master Regulus asked Kreacher to get out of there with this locket......"

Kreacher's voice became hoarse, and the whole person was buried in his hands and couldn't stop whimpering, "Young Master Regulus asked Kreacher to go home and bring this thing back to destroy it, but Kreacher didn't do it, Master Regulus wanted Kreacher to hide it from Black's master, so Kreacher hid the thing......"

For a moment, everyone fell silent, and even Vanlin could not say anything reproachful or comforting to Kreacher.

Although he had known for a long time that Regulus had drunk the potions at the end and died in that cave, it was a different feeling to hear the house-elves recount the scene now.

Van Lin seemed to be able to see the struggle in the heart of the youngest boy of the Black family in the dark cave surrounded by corpses, and he had to keep a straight face and loudly order Kreacher to leave those things out of him......

There is no doubt that Regulus knows what he is going to do next, and naturally, he also knows the consequences of doing this, if he is discovered by Voldemort, the Black family will be destroyed, and Regulus still made his choice.

In fact, because of Voldemort's pure-blood theory, Regulus was one of the first people to support Voldemort, and like Malfoy and Bella, Voldemort did not refuse to come with noble blood, so naturally Black, an ancient and noble wizard surname, gave Regulus the honor of becoming a Death Eater at the age of sixteen, and like other Death Eaters, he was proud of serving the Dark Lord.

However, Regulus is not an absolutely blind obedience, Voldemort was an excellent wizard who couldn't find fault with anyone in the early days and even after graduating from Hogwarts.

While at Hogwarts, Voldemort was loved by all the professors except Dumbledore.

It is undoubtedly a very fortunate thing to follow a good leader.

However, when he discovers that Voldemort is gradually revealing his true colors, when he discovers that Voldemort is not promoting pure wizarding blood, but wants to use brutal methods to rule over others, when Voldemort tries to kill the innocent Kreacher, Regulus finally realizes the difference between the real and cruel world and his imagination.

There will always be a gap between dreams and reality, sometimes just a light step, but sometimes, it is indeed a distance like the end of the world.

There is nothing wrong with dreams, but when they are connected to reality, there will always be a right and a wrong one.

And there is no doubt that Voldemort's path did not suit Regulus, who at one point tried to conquer with death and violence, and the pure-blood theory ......

It's also nothing more than a means to an end.

It's like Fudge opposing Dumbledore and downplaying Barty Crouch in order to consolidate his own power.

Van Lin didn't know what Regulus thought, perhaps as the sole heir of the Black family at the time, the implementation of the pure-blood theory was buried deep in his heart, but that didn't stop him from opposing something bad.

Needless to say, Regulus was very smart, he was the first to discover that Voldemort was making Horcruxes, even before Dumbledore, and Van Lin couldn't think of anything else that could help him other than Klee's vague narrative, but he still discovered the secret and tried to destroy it.

There was no doubt that Regulus was no less than Sirius or anyone else in terms of bravery, if not surpassed.

And just when he knew Voldemort's true face, and when he made up his mind to fight against Voldemort, it was the darkest era of the Dark Lord and the entire wizarding world.

You know, Voldemort was a person who couldn't hold Dumbledore down at that time, and if it weren't for Harry, it wouldn't have been long at all, even Dumbledore, who had the Elder Wand, couldn't always compete with Voldemort.

Defending alone won't solve the problem, and everyone knows that Dumbledore can't keep Voldemort at bay.

Voldemort grew stronger by the day, and Dumbledore had already begun to decline.

The day of the pure-blood doctrine is getting closer and closer, but Regulus still chooses to resist......

It's hard to imagine that when you're close to success, a person would stick to their principles and choose to give up.

And, most importantly, Regulus didn't even have anyone to get Kreacher out of there instead of him.

If Voldemort's things are moved, someone must die.

Regulus, on the other hand, made a choice between Kreacher and him, as well as between Voldemort and the Black family.

It's a responsibility, but it's also a sign of Regulus's kindness......

"Then, Master Regulus ...... He ......," Kreacher sobbed.

"And then what happened, what did Regulus do?" Sirius asked aloud.

"Then he drank the potion, and Klee cut out the locket and watched as Master Regulus was dragged underwater and ...... by the hands of the dead."

"Oh, Kreacher!" Hermione's eyes were red, and she finally couldn't stop crying.

She tried to hold Kreacher with her hand, but the house-elf immediately stood up and ducked back, with obvious disgust.
