After Ryan and the three of them cleaned up in the living room for a while, Lupine also went upstairs to join them. With the help of the former Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, the cleaning progress was greatly accelerated.
During this process, Ryan also got a few good things, such as a silver instrument similar to multi-legged tweezers that could crawl like a spider. Because Ryan thought this thing could be modified into something useful, he used a rune to quiet it down.
Ask Sirius if he wants to take this thing away. (Sirius: I told you that you can take it directly if you like it.)
"What's inside this?" Lu Ping took out a souvenir box and broke it hard, "Why can't I open this thing?"
Sirius also took the box and tried it, and then said curiously: "Why don't I remember putting this thing in the cabinet? Did it put it in after I was kicked out?"
"You actually remember the origin of everything in the cabinet? How do you do this? I can't remember where some of the things in my decorative cabinet come from." Hermione said in surprise after hearing what Sirius said.
"I hate these." Sirius smiled bitterly. "But since I was five years old, my parents have often brought me here to tell me the stories behind each item, sometimes even because I didn't tell them.
The glory behind something makes me eat only rusks and drink water for one meal. In this case, I still remember everything even after I have been away from here for many years.”
"Can you let me take a look?" Ryan said after Sirius finished speaking. When they said they couldn't open it, Ryan suddenly woke up because he thought of something important.
Taking over the souvenir box, Ryan found that the so-called souvenir box was an egg-sized locket made of octagonal gold. There was a gorgeous letter S on the lid, which was inlaid with emeralds. More importantly, Ryan passed
When Magic sensed this box, he found that the complexity of the magic runes on this box was far beyond that of other things.
"Black." Ryan turned around and looked at Sirius seriously. "If I read correctly, this thing should be a relic belonging to Slytherin, one of the four giants of Hogwarts. It is very precious, and I can even say that you
The items in the glass cabinet are not as expensive as the locket. According to your family's habits, it is impossible to stuff them here without any records."
"Then it can only be that I put it here after I was kicked out of the house." Sirius' face became serious after hearing this, "In that case, I think only Kreacher knows the origin of this thing."
After saying that, he shouted "Kreacher" into the air. With a snap, the house elf appeared in the living room.
"Oh, that annoying young master is dictating to poor old Kreacher again. As if everything here really belongs to him." After speaking, he looked up at the decorative cabinet and said, "He even put things with family honors.
Take it out like a robber breaking into this house."
"Shut up!" Sirius interrupted Kreacher's babble, and then took out the locket. "Tell me where this thing came from. I ask you to answer truthfully. There must be no concealment or lies.
.”
Kreacher originally just looked at his feet, but under Sirius's force, he raised his head and looked at Sirius's hands. At the first glance, Kreacher's expression froze. Then he gulped loudly.
Panting, his withered chest rose and fell sharply, then he opened his eyes and let out a blood-curdling scream.
"There is also a locket, Master Regulus's locket. Kreacher made a mistake. Kreacher failed to carry out the master's order!" As it said, it picked up a heavy silver box and prepared to smash it on Ryan's head.
Hermione and I quickly caught him on the left and right, and then shouted to Sirius: "Quick, make him stop."
"I order you to stop." Sirius, who was slightly dazed by what the house elf said, quickly recovered from Ryan's shouting and then ordered Kreacher.
As soon as this order was issued, Kreacher froze. Only when Ryan and the others let go, Kreacher lay straight on the cold stone floor, tears pouring out of the sunken eye sockets. Even the most sluggish person at this time
Anyone can see that this locket should involve something very important.
"You just said that the locket belonged to 'Master Regulus'," Sirius said, "Then why does my brother have such a thing? What orders did he give you that you failed to complete? Kreacher,
Sit there and tell me everything you know about the locket and my brother's connection to it!"
Kreacher sat up, curled up into a ball, put his tearful face between his knees, and began to rock back and forth. When he spoke, his voice was low and muffled, but it was very clear in this empty and quiet living room.
.
"Master Sirius ran away, and it would be better if he left, because he is a bad boy, and his unruly behavior broke my mistress's heart. But Master Regulus has self-respect, and he knows that the name Black and his
What does pure blood mean? When he was sixteen years old, he joined the Dark Lord's organization. He was so proud, so proud, so happy, to be able to serve..."
"Hey, my brother is too weak and lacks independent opinions. He was incited by my parents to follow the Dark Lord. But the job of a Death Eater is really not suitable for him." Sirius was very happy after hearing this.
He said in a low tone. "If he left home like me, maybe he could become a Chaser for the Tornadoes now. I always heard him talking about this before I left home."
After listening to Sirius's memories, Kreacher shed even more tears. The tears flowed down his long nose and into his grinning mouth, and a set of gray teeth could be seen. "A year later, one day, Lei Gu
Master Regulus came to visit Kreacher in the kitchen. Master Regulus has always liked Kreacher. Master Regulus said...he said..."
The old elf sobbed hard and his body shook faster.
"... He said that the Dark Lord wanted an elf. Master Regulus contributed to Kreacher. This is an honor, Master Regulus said, it is an honor for himself and Kreacher. Kreacher must do Dark
Do whatever the devil wants him to do...and go home."
At this point, painful memories made Kreacher's answer start to be intermittent, but the four wizards sitting here still listened carefully.
"So Kreacher went to the Dark Lord. The Dark Lord didn't tell Kreacher what to do, but took Kreacher to a cave on the seaside. It was a big cave, and there was a big black lake in the cave... There was a boat by the lake.
...The boat took me to a small island in the lake. There was a stone basin filled with magic potion. The Dark Lord asked Kreacher to drink it..."
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 all the potion... He threw a locket into the empty basin... and then filled the basin with potion."
"Then the Dark Lord got on the boat and left, leaving Kreacher on the island... Kreacher needed water, and he climbed to the edge of the island to drink from the black lake... Many hands, dead hands, stretched out from the water
Come out and drag Kreacher down..."
The hoarse voice made everyone feel a chill rising from behind. Hermione heard this and subconsciously grabbed Ryan's hand, while Ryan gently patted the back of her hand with his other hand to calm his emotions.
"Then, what happened next?" Sirius asked.
"Master Regulus said he wanted Kreacher to go home." Kreacher showed a weird smile when he said this. "The highest law for house elves is the master's order. If the master tells Kreacher to go home, Kreacher will come back."
