Chapter 387 The Gap Between People

As a house elf, one cannot disobey the request of the master, this is the creed engraved deep in their souls.
When house-elves fail to fulfill their master's requirements, or damage their master's interests, they must punish themselves, usually by torturing their bodies in various ways.
Like last year's house elf Dobby, because he adored Harry and didn't want Lucius' plan to hurt Harry, he made many "dissuasions" to keep Harry away from Hogwarts and danger.
For this reason, Dobby has violated the interests of Lucius, and the creed engraved deep in his soul has affected Dobby's behavior, making him bump his head against the wall, scald his hands with the boiling kettle... to punish himself.
Even a house-elf with a bad personality like Kreacher will also follow the creed from the depths of his soul.
He disobeyed Sirius' orders, did not tell the truth, and punished himself.
"Reparo as before (reparo)!" Kong Nuo looked at the dangling fingers, feeling like he was suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder, and subconsciously threw out a repair spell.
Dumbledore's reaction was also quick, a healing spell arrived at the same time as Connor's Restoration Curse, and connected the severed finger.
Sirius narrowed his eyes condescendingly, "Kreacher! I'll ask you again! If you don't tell where Regulus has gone! I will definitely give you a piece of clothing!"
If it weren't for the locket that Connoy and Dumbledore had brought back, he wouldn't have returned to 12 Grimmauld Place at all.
It was like a cage here, and he waited until he was 16 years old before he was finally able to break free from the cage and fly into the sky like a griffin.
He hated everything at 12 Grimmauld Place, even if he had nowhere to go after escaping from prison, he would rather choose to eat the chicken bones in the trash can than temporarily live at 12 Grimmauld Place.
Kreacher is loyal to his mother, and every word he uttered was heard by him, as if the shadow of his former mother struck again and made him lose control.
House-elves were obedient by nature, and Veritaserum, a potion for wizards, had no effect on Kreacher at all.
Otherwise, he'd now be dying to pour a gallon of Veritaserum directly into Kreacher's mouth and force Kreacher to tell the truth.
Kreacher's body trembled like chaff, and muddy tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, but he kept shaking his head, "Poor... Kreacher... I don't know... I don't know where the young master... went..."
"Very good!" Sirius laughed, with an extremely ferocious smile, he tore off the clothes on his body, and was about to throw them to Kreacher.
For house-elves, giving them clothes means expelling them and setting them free.
However, only a few house-elves want to have this kind of freedom. They want to serve the old family from generation to generation.
A house elf like Kreacher hopes that when he is too old to do anything, his head can be cut off by his master and hung on the wall as a decoration, so as to show the long history of the family.
Kreacher shoved his fist into his mouth, bloodied his mouth, and continued to punish himself while dodging Sirius' clothes.
He didn't want to leave here, but he didn't want to reveal Regulus' whereabouts.
Sirius was panting heavily, feeling a little bewildered for a while, not knowing what to do to pry Kreacher's mouth open.
"Speaking of...Kreacher, do you have a good relationship with Regulus?" Kong Nuo asked suddenly.
Sirius frowned slightly, he was very worried that Kreacher would embarrass Konno in a weird way.
After all, Kreacher doesn't even look down on Dumbledore, let alone Kong Nuo who has never met?
To Sirius' surprise, Kreacher's tone returned to normal, and he replied in a loud and clear voice: "Sir! Young Master is the best Young Master in the world!"
He raised his fist again, hit his forehead, and then continued: "Even the mistress is not as great as the young master!"
As he spoke, he had already started to cry, and the cloudy tears soon wet the pillowcase on his body, and dripped to the ground again.
Sirius couldn't help opening his mouth wide, and looked at Kreacher in disbelief.
In his memory, he did not enjoy the courtesy of Kreacher.
Dumbledore looked at Kreacher's fingers, and said thoughtfully: "Konno, maybe it's a better idea for you to inquire, try it!"
Kreacher, as the house elf of the Black family, usually only obeys the orders of the Black family, which is why Dumbledore and Connor did not interrupt at first.
"Uh..." Kong Nuo rubbed his chin and asked tentatively, "Where is Regulus now?"
Kreacher sobbed and said, "Sorry! Sir! The young master asked me to keep a secret. Even if poor Kreacher dies, I can't tell the secret..."
Compared to Sirius' tough questioning attitude, at least when talking to Conno, Kreacher will unconsciously reveal some secrets.
"Can I understand this?" Kong Nuo continued to ask, "Is Regulus dead? Who killed him? Did you kill him?"
Kreacher let out a strange cry, and just fell to the ground, his muddy tears could not be stopped at all.
Dumbledore looked at Kong Nuo, his eyes widened, as if to say "playing so big"?
Kong Nuo got the meaning of Dumbledore, and explained: "Otherwise? Since he refused to say, then I will guess conspiratorially! Shushu I... I like conspiracy theories..."
"Sir! Kreacher didn't kill the young master, it was the young master who wanted to protect the poor Kreacher..." As he spoke, Kreacher lost his voice again and wept bitterly.
"Regulus is dead..." After hearing Kreacher's words, Sirius' face suddenly became extremely pale, like a piece of paper that had been bleached too much.
His eyes were red, he grabbed Kreacher's sleeve and lifted it up, shouting fiercely: "How did he die? Where is he now?"
"You're all too excited, you should calm down now!" Kong Nuo was covered in golden light, with one hand on Sirius' shoulder, and the other on Kreacher's back.
The "Quiet Heart Sutra" was launched, and the emotions of Sirius and Kreacher began to calm down slowly.
Sirius' eyes seemed to lose their brightness, and the image of Regulus being weak and submissive, and the image of being able to sacrifice his life to save Kreacher, were intertwining in his mind, throwing him into confusion.
Dumbledore also took advantage of the time when the master and servant were calm, thinking silently.
His eyes flicked back and forth between Sirius and Kreacher, and he said softly, "Black, can you please step away? I think you all need to calm down."
When house-elves fail to fulfill their master's requirements, or damage their master's interests, they must punish themselves, usually by torturing their bodies in various ways.
Like last year's house elf Dobby, because he adored Harry and didn't want Lucius' plan to hurt Harry, he made many "dissuasions" to keep Harry away from Hogwarts and danger.
