Chapter 99 Alchemy Array

The Black House, although not as magnificent as Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in scale and mystery, also hides many secret rooms that are difficult for even the most experienced wizards to find easily.

One of the particularly hidden places has even become the last refuge of the house-elf Kreacher - a place that even Sirius, the heir of the Black family, cannot easily find.

But Sirius has other ways.

"Kreacher! Show up in front of me immediately." "With a loud call, Sirius used his status as the patriarch of the Black family to issue an order.

Almost instantly, there was a fluctuation in the air, and then Kreacher appeared in front of everyone.

"Kreacher," Sirius grasped Kreacher's collar tightly, "hand over Voldemort's Horcrux. " But Kreacher just lowered his head and responded in an almost inaudible voice: "I don't know what a Horcrux is..."

Seeing the other party's attitude, Sirius became even more angry. He lifted Kreacher up and forced it to look directly into his eyes.

"Stop pretending! Hand over the things! "

Just when Sirius was about to lose control of his anger, Dumbledore stopped Sirius's behavior in time.

"Calm down, Sirius, violence can't solve the problem."

After a brief silence, Sirius took a deep breath.

Then he suppressed his anger and spoke again: "Kreacher, I warn you for the last time: hand over the locket immediately."

Faced with the uncompromising demands of his master, Kreacher could not disobey Sirius's order.

It slowly stretched out its palm, and in its palm lay a well-made locket.

Sirius snatched the locket, and Kreacher's emotions collapsed instantly, and it began to cry loudly.

"Woo~Woo~"

It kept hitting the wall with its head, hurting itself desperately, and blood soon flowed from its forehead, but it seemed to feel no pain, and just continued to repeat this self-harming behavior.

"Kreacher is a useless house elf, and he didn't even complete the last task of Master Regulus. "

This sudden scene attracted the attention of other members of the Order of the Phoenix, and they gathered around.

Sirius stood aside with a frown on his face. He had never heard of the connection between his brother Regulus and the Horcrux.

"Regulus? What does this have to do with Regulus? Why is this locket in your hands? No concealment is allowed, tell me honestly. "

Faced with the harsh questioning of his master, Kreacher became even more agitated: "Sirius is a bad seed, Master Regulus is the real heir of the Black family!" It cursed angrily, "Why didn't Sirius die! "

Under the gaze of the crowd, Kreacher cried and told the story of the dusty past in a disjointed manner.

"That year, Master Regulus took me to a cave."

Kreacher cried and told how Regulus discovered the true face of Voldemort and realized that joining the Death Eaters was a wrong choice. In order to redeem his mistakes and protect his family from being implicated, Regulus decided to stop Voldemort's evil deeds.

Regulus resolutely drank the poison that protected the Horcrux in exchange for the Slytherin locket. Before his death, he handed this important item to Kreacher and told him to do everything possible to destroy the Horcrux and not to tell anyone about it.

On the way back, due to extreme thirst, Regulus was unfortunately dragged into the water by the Inferi lurking in the water and died.

At the end, Kreacher was sobbing and could hardly continue: "I did not complete the task assigned by Master Regulus. I tried every possible way but failed to destroy this damn locket. "

Sirius held Slytherin's locket in his hand in a daze, "I didn't know that Regulus actually..."

At this moment, he seemed to have reacquainted himself with his brother, the one he once thought was weak and followed the dark forces.

Dumbledore, the Weasleys, and even the usually calm Moody seemed a little absent-minded.

Among the Death Eaters, there was such a brave man who silently resisted Voldemort and even sacrificed his own life.

"Regulus is a good guy. "Moody patted Sirius on the shoulder. He seemed not very good at saying comforting words.

The members of the Order of the Phoenix around him were also moved by Regulus's deeds. Sirius's expression became more colorful. Tears could not help but fall from the corners of his eyes. He felt mixed emotions.

"I didn't know anything." Sirius' voice was choked with sobs.

He was proud of what Regulus had done, but at the same time he felt deeply guilty.

As a member of the Order of the Phoenix, he once clearly opposed Voldemort, but because of one A misunderstanding caused the death of his best friends James and Lily, and he also spent a long time in Azkaban.

During this time, he did not make any contribution to the fight against the dark forces, and could only complain in despair.

No mistakes in one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!

Compared with Regulus, Sirius felt ashamed.

Dumbledore noticed Sirius's mood changes and gently reminded him: "Everyone has different experiences, but the most important thing now is to destroy this locket."

"That's right." Sirius wiped the tears from his face and held the locket tightly in his hand. He couldn't let Regulus' efforts go to waste.

At the same time, Kreacher was still immersed in self-blame, constantly punishing himself.

"Stop it, Kreacher," Sirius had never treated Kreacher so gently: "Don't punish yourself anymore, we will destroy this locket."

"Really?" Kreacher couldn't believe it: "I tried every way but failed."

"We have Dumbledore and Weiss," Sirius pointed at them, "Not only this locket, we will completely destroy Voldemort, for Regulus, James, Lily, and all the suffering people."

"You didn't lie to me?" Kreacher looked at Sirius eagerly.

"I think you can be a witness." Weiss added.

Kreacher nodded eagerly and agreed.

In the basement of the Black mansion, members of the Order of the Phoenix gathered here.

Weiss had just finished drawing the last stroke of the complex alchemy array, and the entire array was emitting a faint light.

"That's it."

Wes stood at the edge of the alchemy array, he took a deep breath, and then activated the alchemy array.

With a faint humming sound, the air in the entire basement seemed to vibrate. Marvolo Gaunt's ring and Slytherin's locket were placed in the center of the alchemy array. They began to slowly rotate under the gaze of everyone, emitting a strange halo.
