Chapter 273

However, Harry and Dumbledore did not care about it, and Sirius did not refute it. He just sat there quietly, listening to the elf who had served three generations of the Black family.

“But Master Regulus is a good boy, he is very well behaved.”Memories gradually emerged in Kreacher’s eyes, and his tone became particularly gentle, completely different from the tone he used when talking to Black.

“At the age of sixteen, under the strong encouragement of the mistress, Master Regulus became a Death Eater. I still remember how excited he was at that time, with a look of honor and pride on his face.”Kreacher narrowed his eyes slightly as he spoke, as if immersed in that memory.

“The young master also liked Kreacher very much, but from that time on, the young master rarely went home, but he trusted Kreacher very much and was willing to tell Kreacher everything.”Kreacher’s eyes showed a trace of nostalgia and sadness

“At the beginning, he told me a lot about how much he admired the Dark Lord. He firmly believed that the pure-bloods would reach a true peak under the leadership of the Dark Lord.”Kreacher’s voice was slightly low, with a little emotion.

“But gradually, the little master stopped talking to me about the good things about the Dark Lord. He began to doubt whether his judgment was wrong. Is it really worth following a madman who kills people at will?”Kreacher’s expression became a little solemn, and he frowned slightly.

“He became more and more silent, and when he returned home he no longer discussed anything about the Dark Lord. Kreacher’s voice became a little hoarse.

“He even began to hate the mark on his hand and committed several acts of self-harm, but Kreacher was only an elf and did not dare to stop his young master from doing these things.” As he spoke, Kreacher kept hitting his head hard with his hands.

The”dong dong” sound was particularly clear in the silent room, as if it was extremely painful that Regulus’s self-harming behavior had not been stopped.

Sirius was silent, and shrank back into the sofa with a complicated expression on his face.

Harry and Dumbledore’s faces were still calm, and there was no sign of any ripples.

After Kreacher finished knocking his head, he paused for a moment, and then continued:”Until one day, the young master came back and said that the Dark Lord needed a house-elf.”

“Master Regulus took the initiative to recommend Kreacher.”Kreacher said slowly, with a firm look in his eyes,”This is an honor, Master Regulus said, this is an honor that belongs to him and Kreacher. Kreacher must do anything the Dark Lord orders.”

Kreacher continued:”Kreacher was taken to a cave by the sea by the Dark Lord. There was a large black lake deep in the cave. There was an island in the center of the black lake, and there was a pot of potion on the island.”

At this time, Harry and Dumbledore looked at each other. When

Kreacher said this, his whole body trembled violently, as if he was experiencing something extremely painful, and the painful memory made it unforgettable.

Its face was full of horror, its eyes were wide open, and its lips were trembling slightly.

“The Dark Lord asked Kreacher to drink the potion.” Kreacher’s voice trembled violently and became extremely hoarse, as if every word he uttered was extremely difficult, as if he was struggling to squeeze it out from between his teeth.

“Kreacher drank it, and at the moment of drinking it, Kreacher saw something extremely terrifying. Kreacher felt as if his body was being burned by a raging flame. Kreacher screamed and cried with all his might, begging his master Regulus to come and save him. However, the Dark Lord just laughed wildly and wantonly. He cruelly forced Kreacher to drink all the potions in one breath, and then he placed a box in the empty basin, and then he filled it up again with a large amount of potion.”

Kreacher’s hands tightly grasped his clothes, and the degree of force seemed to tear his clothes. His face was full of pain, his eyes were wide open, and they were filled with fear. It seemed that at this moment he could still clearly feel the pain and fear that penetrated into his bones at that time.

“Then the Dark Lord rowed the boat away, leaving Kreacher alone on the island.”Kreacher’s eyes became empty and desperate,” Kreacher almost died there.”

“Fortunately, the little master asked Kreacher to go back, and Kreacher came back.”

“Although the Dark Lord and Kreacher told him not to tell anyone about the incident, the Dark Lord was not Kreacher’s master. Kreacher’s master was only the young master. Kreacher’s expression became particularly firm, as if emphasizing his loyalty to Regulus.

“Kreacher told the little master about it, and Kreacher thought the little master would be happy.”

“But the young master became even more unhappy. He sternly ordered Kreacher not to leave the room even half a step, and not to do anything else. Then he disappeared suddenly, and did not appear again until a long time later…”

Kreacher cried, his voice full of sorrow:”Kreacher could see that Master Regulus was very haggard, different from usual, and his mind seemed confused. He ordered Kreacher to take him to the cave where the Dark Lord had been.” (To read the exciting novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

Harry and Dumbledore were silent.

The locket was here, and Kreacher was here too. They could naturally imagine what had happened.

“Kreacher was supposed to drink the poison, but the young master didn’t do that. He drank the poison himself, took out the pendant box, and asked Kreacher to replace it. The young master also ordered Kreacher to go home and stay there. He was not allowed to tell anyone about this, not even the mistress. He also asked Kreacher to destroy it by all means, even if it meant sacrificing his own life.”

Its tone gradually became terrified.

“At this moment, the things at the bottom of the lake rushed up like a tide.”[]

“Kreacher watched helplessly as his little master was dragged down, and then slowly eaten.”

Kreacher’s tone was full of sadness and helplessness.

Sirius clenched his fists tightly, his teeth chattering:”You didn’t take Regulus away at that time? Used your house-elf magic? Didn’t you leave before!”

Kreacher hugged his head in pain:”Kreacher is an incompetent elf. Kreacher kept trying to take his master away.”

“But Kreacher couldn’t do it.”

Dumbledore slowly explained:”There is a spell there, prohibiting any and all apparitions, especially the transfer of humans.”

Sirius was silent, he stared at the note.

“”Do you still have the locket you took away?” Harry asked softly.

Kreacher nodded, looking frustrated:”Kreacher has been working hard all these years, but Kreacher is just an incompetent elf. Kreacher can’t do anything.”

“It is very powerful, Kreacher can’t destroy it at all. I have tried everything, but it is still useless. Kreacher is an elf without a soul. I can’t complete the task assigned to me by the master!”

As he said this, he kept hitting the ground with his head, as if this could ease the pain in his heart.
