Chapter 446: Take Regulus Home
Sirius finally let go of Kreacher and stood there as if he had been under the Imperius curse.
Lupin stepped forward and patted Sirius on the shoulder, "He's a real Blake, and a well-deserved Slytherin, and his name deserves to be praised by all. ”
Kyle sighed silently beside him and didn't speak.
It seemed to him that Regulus had made a decision from the very beginning, and he had no intention of coming back alive at all.
Perhaps because the ideals he had always insisted on were shattered, when he decided to part ways with Voldemort, this ending was already doomed.
Voldemort was a master of the Dementors, and Regulus was well aware of this, and he was not sure that he could hide the fact that he had stolen the Horcruxes.
This meant that if he was discovered, he would suffer the wrath of Voldemort, and he was not alone, including the rest of the Black family and Kreacher, who would not be able to escape.
So he chose to sacrifice himself to keep this secret, and only in this way can more people be spared.
As for Kreacher, with Voldemort's personality, he couldn't have cared about a house-elf, and perhaps by the time he left the cave, he had forgotten about that lowly creature.
Sirius covered her face and wept bitterly, tears dripping down her fingers to the floor.
He had misunderstood Regulus for more than ten years, and it was only at this time that he realized that his younger brother was not weak, and was even braver than him.
Die in order to kill Voldemort, even in a place where almost no one will ever set foot, even if no one will ever know about it...... But he did it anyway.
Sirius couldn't imagine how Regulus had made that decision at the time.
His mother was right, Kreacher was right, those people were right, Regulus was really much better than him.
"I'm going to get him back!" Sirius touched the wet tears on her face, "I'm going to take him home no matter what...... He should go home instead of staying at the bottom of that icy lake! ”
"Kreacher!" Suddenly, he shouted, "I command you, take me to that cave, and together we will take Regulus home!" ”
Originally, the elf was lying on the ground, panting heavily. Upon hearing Sirius's words, he immediately stood up, trembling all over, his teary eyes red and bloodshot.
Kreacher ...... Kreacher is willing to obey the young master's orders! ”
"Then let's go......"
Just as Sirius was about to grab Kreacher's arm, Lupin suddenly appeared in the midst of them.
"Wait, wait Sirius." He said quickly, "We can't be so reckless, it's better to inform Dumbledore first." ”
Kreacher looked up and looked at him resentfully.
"Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to stop you." Lupin explained, and continued, "But it's too reckless to do that, and don't forget, that's where the mysterious man hides.
And Kreacher just said that what is under the lake ...... If I'm guessing correctly, it should be Yin Corps, and there are at least a few hundred of them.
To find Regulus, you have to alarm them...... Can you deal with hundreds of monsters that can't be killed and are infinitely powerful? ”
Lupin's words finally calmed Sirius a little, but only a little.
"I don't care, Remus." Sirius said seriously, "I can't leave Regulus alone at the bottom of that icy lake, every second of my time here is the most painful torture for me, even more so than the Dementors."
Remus, I know you're right, but I don't want to wait...... As long as I can bring Regulus back, I don't care if I die there. ”
Lupin looked at him for a long time before he sighed and took a step back, "Alright then, I respect your decision. ”
"Thanks, Remus." Sirius said, "You write to Dumbledore when we leave, and I think he'll find it." ”
"Okay." Lupin nodded.
"Thank you." Sirius reached for Kreacher.
But at this moment, without warning...... Lupin raised his wand.
"Faint!"
Lupin's idea was simple, since he couldn't stop him, he would stun him and tie him up until Dumbledore came.
However, Sirius seemed to have guessed his thoughts, and in an instant he turned into a large black dog and dodged the sneak attack.
Then he immediately changed back and turned to look at Lupin.
"I know you too well, Remus." He said, "Do you think I didn't see it? You just subconsciously held the hand of the wand. ”
"Whatever you say." Lupin simply stopped pretending, "I can't watch you die, as long as I'm still standing today, you won't be able to go anywhere!" ”
"I don't think so." Sirius smiled slightly, "I'm sorry, my friend.
"Kreacher, what are you waiting for!"
The elf immediately came to him and reached out and grabbed his arm.
"Little ......"
Before Lupin could finish speaking, there was a bang, and he was the only one left in the huge room.
……
The other side.
Sirius only felt the sky spinning, and when he opened his eyes again, he smelled a salty air.
He found himself in a huge cavern, surrounded by the sound of the waves of the sea.
"House-elves don't travel in a good way." A voice came from the side.
"yes." Sirius subconsciously replied, "And I haven't had a phantasm for a long time...... Wait a minute. ”
He looked at the familiar person beside him, his eyes full of disbelief, "Kyle? How did you end up here! ”
"Of course I came with you, or else." Kyle shrugged, "Didn't you notice that I was already putting my hand on Kreacher's arm while you were arguing with Lupin. ”
"But...... But ......" Sirius hesitated for a long time, and finally turned to look at Kreacher.
But Kreacher was also a little confused. His attention just now was on the two people who were arguing, and he didn't notice that he had another hand on his body.
"No, Kyle, it's too dangerous here, you can't come, go back!" Sirius said solemnly.
"That's not right." Kyle shook his head, "If I wanted to go back, why did I come with me in the first place, it doesn't make sense, right?" ”
"But ......"
"And Lupin is right." Kyle ignored him and continued, "You came here so recklessly, you can't do anything but add one more life, we should inform Dumbledore." ”
"I know!" Sirius said, "But even if I send an owl to Dumbledore now, he'll not be here until dawn at the earliest, and I really can't wait that long." ”
"Who said that?" Kyle sighed and pulled out a long, fiery red feather with a pained expression.
Then he tapped it with his wand, and the feather immediately turned into a short burst of flame.
Sirius' anxious gaze filled with doubt.
"This is the tail feather of the phoenix." Kyle explains, "The phoenix is an amazing animal that will take the initiative to pluck its tail feathers and give them to someone close to them, and when that person needs the help of the phoenix, it will just burn the tail feathers and it will arrive in time...... Oh, here it is. ”
Kyle looked up, and the originally dark sky suddenly had a red fireball.
It's Fox......
Along with it, Dumbledore was wearing pink strawberry pajamas and a pointed nighthat.
