"156" Slattery's locket
"What?"
Hearing Kreacher's words, Sirius and Harry both changed color.
Not even with Sirius's hands.
Harry on the side grabbed Kreacher's shoulder directly: "The secret of Voldemort's immortality? What does it have to do with a locket? Kreacher, you make it clear! β
"No, you can't say it!" Kreacher came back to his senses, "Old Kreacher promised the little master that he would never reveal ......"
"But now you've said it." Ringo finally spoke, "We already know, and besides, you don't seem to have destroyed the locket as you wished!" β
As soon as this remark came out.
Kreacher was stunned.
He looked at his hands in a daze, and suddenly, like Dobby, twitched violently against his old cheeks: "Old Kreacher can't stand the little master, old Kreacher can't stand the little master......"
Syllable!
Syllable!
Syllable!
The three of them watched as the house-elf self-harmed with strange expressions.
But none of them stopped.
Instead, after glancing at each other, they seemed to see the thoughts in each other's eyes, and immediately, Sirius spoke: "Kreacher, the matter has come to this, you might as well make things clear, since Regulus's last wish is for you to destroy the locket, you can't destroy it, it doesn't mean that we can't destroy it, if you make it clear, we can help you destroy the locket!" β
Kreacher looked up.
The big bulb-like eyes were occupied by despair, but there was still a glimmer of hope: "You help old Kreacher destroy the locket?" β
"That's right, us." Harry nodded, "Even if we can't destroy it, there's Dumbledore, he's the greatest wizard in the world." β
"Dumbledore......" Kreacher muttered.
He slowly stood up.
Pacing under the gaze of the three people, it seems that he is still entangled in his heart.
See here.
Ringo finally spoke: "Kreacher, just like Harry said, we can definitely destroy the locket for you, not only that, but think of your little master Regulus, he died like that, and the bones have not been brought back, and everyone in the world thinks he is a Death Eater, a tragedy, a family disgrace......"
"Nope! The little master is not a family shame! Kreacher hastily interrupted.
"Yes, he's not a shame, he's proud, but no one else knows it except you! Kreacher, don't you want to restore your little master Regulus's reputation? Let the entire wizarding world know that he is proud, righteous, died to protect the entire family, is a warrior, is a heroic spirit, and should not be just a disgrace......" Ringo stared into the eyes of the house-elves, "How about it?" Kreacher, would you like to help him restore his reputation? β
Kreacher's body trembled slightly.
Its ears with white fur flutter to show its mood.
Finally.
It nodded, "Old Kreacher will tell you everything, yes, it was thirteen years ago......"
The death of Regulus, Kreacher remembers very well.
None of them.
As a house-elf of the pure-blooded Blake family, Kreacher has lived in a distorted worldview since he was a child, and even his mother's greatest wish in life is to nail his head to the wall after death, not to mention the rest of the Blake's family.
One by one, they are either pure pure-blood supremacists.
One by one, they either twisted into madness.
Anyone who has the slightest spirit of rebellion, pursues love, or even helps a nephew who has been removed from the family, will be removed from the family.
Kreacher was treated as a proper servant from an early age.
Even if it's the mother.
It has never been cared for.
Only Regulus, the little master of the younger generation, gave him care and affection, and did not beat and scolded him as a house elf.
Nature......
Klee cut off his instincts to serve the Blake family according to the agreement.
Its true loyalty.
It was dedicated to Regulus Blake.
Regulus, influenced by his mother and family, pursued pure-blood supremacy, and was infected by Voldemort at the age of 16, swearing allegiance to him, becoming the youngest Death Eater.
Merely......
He and Voldemort had different ideas.
He is a true pure-blood, and Voldemort essentially wants to dominate the wizarding world.
So......
Regulus hadn't tortured or ravaged half-bloods or Mugglesβin fact, the Death Eaters weren't so twisted in the first place.
Until......
Regulus discovers Voldemort's true intentions.
Voldemort set up magic protection in order to hide the locket, and he needed to test his magic protection ability, and he needed a house-elf as a test subject.
Yes.
House-elves!
This creature has a decent level of magic, is completely loyal, and doesn't have to worry about revealing secrets at all - in Voldemort's opinion.
Regulus, as a close person, recommended his Kreacher to Voldemort.
He thought it was some glorious great plan.
But actually.
But it was Voldemort who led Kreacher across the dark, cold, corpse-filled lake to the stone basin filled with the potion, and forced Kreacher to drink the potion insideβa potion made of dark magic, which had no other way to destroy it than to be drunk, and once it was drunk, it had to be continuous, and it would have to be interrupted in the middle of the process.
However, the person who drinks the potion will feel as if it is burning inside, and at the same time, there will be an extreme lack of water, and the thirst will fill the whole heart.
And then......
As long as you give in to this desire, the water in the surrounding lakes is so alluring...... As long as it passes, it will be torn clean by the Yin corpse.
ββ¦β¦ Kreacher, very uncomfortable, Kreacher crawled into the lake and got entangled in the corpse......" Kreacher recalled the scene with tears in his eyes.
And with his description.
Not to mention Sirius and Harry, even Ringo shuddered.
- You can see how powerful that black magic is.
Even just words can make people feel intoxicated.
"And how did you get back?" Harry wondered, "If, it's really as horrible as you say......"
"It was the little master who asked Kreacher to come back!" Kreacher shouted, "Before Kreacher left, the little master told Kreacher that he was going to complete the Dark Lord's quest and then go home, Kreacher has been strictly following the little master's words, drank the potion, completed the task, and then went home......"
"But you said you couldn't use magic in that place!" Sirius frowned.
But Ringo raised his eyebrows: "Sirius, it's wizards who can't use magic, but the magic of house-elves is different from the magic of wizards!" Seem...... Unrestricted? Kreacher, how did you get back? Using the magic of the elves, apparition? β
"Yes, Kreacher used Transfiguration to return home." Kreacher nodded, full of memories, "But the little master Regulus cares about Kreacher, and he sees Kreacher's pain, so he ......"
This moment.
The three of them have already understood thoroughly: "So, Regulus decided to rebel? β
"The little master, Regulus, told Kreacher to stay in the house and not go out, and... After a while...... One night the master Regulus went to his cupboard to look for Kreacher, and Kreacher could see that the master Regulus was strange, unlike usual, and that he seemed to be in a state of confusion...... He asked Kreacher to take him to the cave, to the cave where Kreacher had been with the Dark Lord...... "Kreacher had not spoken for a long time, and now that he had spoken so much, his voice was close to hoarseness.
"Regulus forced you to drink that potion again?" Harry felt uncomfortable and interrupted Kreacher.
But he just finished speaking.
Ringo shook his head: "Obviously, Regulus cares about Kreacher, he won't force Kreacher to do what he doesn't like, and Regulus died there...... Kreacher, Regulus drank those potions? β
"Woo woo......" Kreacher howled, "Kreacher can't live with the little master......"
Sirius rarely didn't disturb Kreacher's crying.
He sighed.
In fact, at this point, the rest of the development can already be speculated: Regulus drank the potion and obtained the locket, but he had already succumbed to the power of the potion and had to let Kreacher take it and destroy it before he died.
"He's a hero." Ringo sighed, "It's a pity that he, like the mysterious man, ignores the magic of house-elves, and if Regulus had let Kreacher drink the potion at that time, or let Kreacher take him away with phantom transformation after drinking the potion himself, it would have been fine...... Pity. β
Sirius was silent and suddenly laughed, "That's why I keep laughing at him for being a fool." β
Laughing and laughing.
The voice grew louder and louder, turning into a hearty laugh.
It was in stark contrast to Kreacher's howling and crying next to him.
"Sirius?" Harry looked at him with concern.
But was immediately interrupted by Sirius shaking his head: "I'm fine, Harry, I'm fine, haha, I've never had a good time, okay, Kreacher!" You've cried enough, take out the locket, I'm going to fulfill Regulus's last wish. β
Yavin
"Yes, little master." Kreacher wiped tears from his eyes, but still bowed politely, and walked quickly to his room.
And very quickly.
Bring a gold locket.
"Kreacher has tried all the magic, but it didn't work." Kreacher said, handing it to Sirius.
"β"Shattered bones" "Sirius waving his wand," β"Flames"
Several spells were cast.
It was also burned with flames.
Pity......
There was no change in the locket, and even Ringo and Harry could feel the powerful black magic protection on the surface of the locket.
"Maybe you can try the Fire Charm." Ringo gives advice.
"No, the Fire Spell is hard to control, at least not fully either." Sirius hurriedly shook his head, "It will spread irretrievably then." β
"Let's get Dumbledore for help." Harry suggested.
"This involves the secret of the mystery man's immortality, and obviously the only ones who can deal with the mystery man are Dumbledore, Harry is right, Sirius, Kreacher has obviously used a lot of magic, we don't need to try." Ringo chimed in, "Give it to Dumbledore." β
Hear the words.
Looking at Kreacher's expectant gaze again, Sirius nodded heavily, "Then let's go?" β
"Hmm!"
