Chapter 40 Regulus

What kind of wizard was Regulus Black?

The good brother who Sirius calls cowardly but kind?

But Harry thought he looked a bit like Percy.

When I was casually visiting Blake's house before, I found a small sign on a door at the top of the stairs.

It was an imposing little sign with neat handwritten letters:

Without my express permission

No entry allowed

Regulus Arcturus Black

It's a lot like something Percy would nail on his bedroom door.

But as a Death Eater, he hid a prop related to Voldemort and asked Kreacher to destroy it.

This is very strange.

As for why Harry thought this was related to Voldemort, it was all because of feeling.

The feeling he felt when facing Slytherin's locket was no different from when he came face to face with Voldemort.

Does this mean that Sirius said that his younger brother who followed Voldemort until his death because of his parents and his own cowardice will be a hero who dares to resist Voldemort.

This was important, important to Sirius.

Harry thought so.

Kreacher, what happened to the locket just now?

You said the locket belonged to Master Regulus, but is it obviously related to Voldemort? Why did Regulus destroy it? Harry asked tentatively.

He didn't have high expectations, Kreacher had never been disobedient.

He just wanted to find out in advance, and then tell Sirius all his guesses and let him ask the questions.

After all, Sirius was Kreacher's master. Faced with an order that could not be interpreted with perfect logic, Kreacher could only answer.

But what Harry never expected was that Kreacher actually answered.

Kreacher still maintained a curled up posture, but this also made his voice a little muffled. Kreacher was willing to obey Harry Potter's orders.

Harry Potter is also related to the Black family, and he is the one I need to obey when the Prodigal Son orders me.

Master Regulus is a good boy. He joined the Dark Lord's organization when he was sixteen. Later, Master Regulus said that the Dark Lord needs the elf Kreacher, who must do everything the Dark Lord wants him to do... and then go home. . When Kreacher said this, his voice suddenly became painful and fearful.

Harry couldn't help but feel a little confused. Based on Kreacher's performance, shouldn't he be as proud as Regulus?

Think this is an honor for the Black family and Kreacher?

Unless it's painful, an unbearable experiment in dark magic.

This didn't surprise Harry, Voldemort could do anything.

What does this have to do with the locket?

You want me to say that Regulus just handed you over? How did you come back? Could it be that Regulus saved you? Ron couldn't help but asked curiously.

It seems likely that Regulus regretted his actions and rescued Kreacher, only to be discovered and killed by Voldemort.

As for the Black family asking why it's okay, isn't there still Bella?

She is also a Death Eater, and she is the more favored one.

However, Kreacher didn't answer, and he even almost muttered something unpleasant to Ron.

It seemed that Ron's previous attempt to stop Harry from destroying the locket had angered him.

If he hadn't been worried about Ron being Harry's friend, he would probably have scolded him directly.

Damn Kreacher, Kreacher was taken to a cave. There was a large black lake and a green boat. There was an island in the middle, and on the island there was a stone basin filled with magic potion. The Dark Lord asked Kreacher to drink... The elf was trembling all over. He seemed to have forgotten that he was still here, as if he had returned to that time again.

Kreacher drank, and saw many horrific scenes while drinking... Kreacher's internal organs were on fire... Kreacher called Master Regulus to save him, and called the mistress, but the Dark Lord just laughed... He forced Kreacher to drink up the potion...he threw a locket into the empty basin...and filled the basin with potion.

Then the Dark Lord got on the boat and left, leaving Kreacher on the island... Kreacher shook even more violently, and even fell directly into the nest beside him.

Then you went back and took the locket with you? Regulus died trying to destroy this? Harry asked.

He thought it was possible, but it was ironic that Voldemort had lost a precious magical item because of the life of a house elf he didn't care about.

As for why it was precious, Voldemort took Kreacher alone and let him die slowly there.

I think it's unlikely. It should be similar to what I guessed.

How could an elf leave the place where Voldemort kept his precious items?

It had to be Regulus, and he hummed. Ron said to Harry.

He finally understood that Kreacher would definitely not answer his question, but he could pass Harry!

The stupid pure-blood traitor's son, Master Harry had clearly guessed it right!

But not this time. Kreacher just wanted to drink water at that time, and even forgot to go back immediately. He slowly climbed to the lake, but there were many dead hands in the water. They dragged Kreacher down and went home. . Kreacher said.

Is there a door key or something like that in the water? Regulus hid through those corpses? Harry guessed.

It was Master Regulus who told Kreacher to go home, so Kreacher went home. Kreacher stared at his big eyes in confusion.

I see!

Those corpses must be Inferi, guarding the locket.

I guess you have to drink the potion to get the locket, but if you drink it, you will almost lose your magic ability and want to drink water.

Finally become a member of the Inferi.

And Kreacher can Apparate back, not because of the portkey, but because of the magic unique to them.

Just like Dobby Apparate to Hogwarts to send me some things that were not convenient to send by letter.

And Hogwarts cannot Apparate.

As for the mysterious man asking why he made a mistake, it is too easy to understand. He looks down on Muggles and doesn't know how powerful Muggles are.

Not to mention that the magic of elves, who are regarded as slaves, is different from that of wizards. Draco suddenly shouted and said a long paragraph of his own guess.

Kreacher's eyes widened. Although the young master was annoying (Draco was also ready to stop Harry at the time), he was worthy of being the pure-blooded nephew of the old master.

Kreacher went home later. Master Regulus asked me to take him to the island. Master Regulus took out the same locket as the Dark Lord. Kreacher suddenly sobbed.

He drank the potion and ordered Kreacher to leave, leaving him alone. He replaced the locket and asked Kreacher to destroy the first one. He watched... Master Regulus... was dragged under the water... and then...

Then the mistress went crazy because Kreacher was ordered not to tell the family what happened in the cave. Kreacher couldn't destroy the locket either. Kreacher knew he could only do it from the inside, but Kreacher couldn't open it. Kreacher sobbed.
