Chapter 1011: The Experience of a House Elf

"If you dare to say anything insulting, Kreacher, I promise to hang your head on the wall today."

"Kreacher, Kreacher..."

"Don't talk nonsense, Kreacher," Sirius said angrily, if you dare to disrespect these people in front of you, I promise that I will definitely do so, and you must obey their orders in the future. "

"Kreacher... Kreacher knows, Master Black..."

"Okay!" Fan Lin said, "Let Kreacher continue."

With that said, Fan Lin turned his attention to Kreacher, "Did you just say that Voldemort needs you?"

"..." Kreacher let out an unknown whimper. Apparently the name Voldemort was too much for a house elf...

"Say it!" Sirius's angry voice made Kreacher tremble.

"Kreacher... the Dark Lord needs Kreacher..." Kreacher said tremblingly, "Yes, yes, Master Regulus contributed Kreacher. For Kreacher, or Master Regulus, It’s all a supreme honor.”

"Honor? I'm afraid you are the only one who thinks so." Sirius said disdainfully.

"Kreacher..."

"Go on..." Sirius waved his hand dissatisfied.

"Yes..." Kreacher bowed tremblingly, "Master Regulus recommended Kreacher to the Dark Lord and asked Kreacher to help the Dark Lord complete one thing and then go home..."

"What's going on?" Fan Lin became interested, "Is it related to this?"

With that said, Fan Lin shook the Slytherin locket in his hand.

"The Dark Lord didn't say... Master Al..." Kreacher hesitated, "The Dark Lord just asked Kreacher to follow him, and then the Dark Lord took Kreacher to a cave."

"Cave?" Hermione said, but then there was no sound. Everyone was the same, waiting with bated breath for Kreacher to tell the story about the Dark Lord, Voldemort.

"Yes, yes, Miss Granger... that cave was extremely dark," Kreacher recalled. The trembling on his body couldn't stop, and he couldn't tell whether it was because he was afraid of the Dark Lord or because he just hadn't recovered from it.

"It was a long road. Kreacher followed the Dark Lord all the way to the end of the cave." Kreacher recalled, "There was a black lake with no end as far as the eye could see. Kreacher didn't know what to do. , could only follow the Dark Lord, and then the Dark Lord used magic to pull out a small boat from the lake. The boat was very small and could only seat three people. However, Kreacher could not occupy much space, so he could not squeeze the Dark Lord. …”

"Aren't you two the only ones there?"

"Oh, yes, but Kreacher didn't dare to get on the boat with the Dark Lord, but the Dark Lord still let Kreacher get on board. Kreacher was very scared at the time because there were many corpses in the lake. Kreacher felt like he was going home, not like becoming a They, and Master Regulus wants Kreacher to help the Dark Lord."

"It's the Inferi," Fan Lin said. "Voldemort used the Inferi to guard his Horcruxes."

"Yes, but Master Regulus... wants... to ask Kreacher to go home, so Kreacher has to complete the Dark Lord's mission quickly." Kreacher said in a low voice.

"What mission, Kreacher?"

Fan Lin has always been particularly curious about this, why the Dark Lord needs a house elf. With his temperament, it is impossible for him to sit with Kreacher.

"Drink the potion!" Kreacher said, "There is a stone basin on the small island in the center of the lake. It... is filled with potion. Dark... The Dark Lord asked Kreacher to drink it... ." Kreacher's voice was trembling, "Kreacher drank. While drinking, he saw many horrific scenes. Kreacher felt like he was melting. Kreacher begged the Dark Lord to give Kreacher some water. Kreacher called Regule. Master Si rescued him and called the name of the mistress, but the Dark Lord just laughed and ignored Kreacher. He forced Kreacher to drink all the potion, then he threw the locket into the empty basin, and then Fill the pot with potion."

"Then what? I mean, you..." Hermione covered her mouth. Naturally, the girl had endless sympathy for Kreacher's experience.

"Then...then the Dark Lord left, leaving Kreacher there..." Kreacher said tremblingly.

Fanlin could almost imagine the scene at that time. The Dark Lord was condescending with a perverted smile on his face, and then a house elf was twisting in pain on the ground. Extreme thirst dominated the elf's body, forcing Kreacher to drink. Sleeping in the lake, and then very naturally, the elf was pulled into the lake by the Inferi, permanently guarding the Dark Lord's Horcrux.

But right now, Kreacher was just standing here, and Fanlin couldn't find any possibility to get Kreacher to leave. Kreacher was...

"What were you doing at that time?" Fan Lin looked at Kreacher intently, as if he wanted to discover something. This was a fatal situation, unless...

"Kreacher was very thirsty." Kreacher said, "Then Kreacher climbed to the lake and wanted to drink water, but was pulled down by the Inferi. The lake was very cold. Kreacher drank several sips and felt like he was about to freeze. On..."

Hermione let out a short exclamation. Anyone else would definitely die there. The strength of those Inferi was no joke. They were numerous and powerful. Fan Lin did not doubt Voldemort's arrangement, even if it was Even an adult giant would not be able to break free.

"Then what? You were pulled down by the Inferi. How did you escape?"

"Master Black needs me, Mistress needs me to clean up the house, Master Regulus wants Kreacher to come home." Kreacher said slowly.

"I mean, how did you..."

"The Black family needs Kreacher to clean up, and Kreacher must obey orders. Master Regulus asked Kreacher to go home after helping the Dark Lord, Master Black."

Seeing that Sirius wanted to ask, Fan Lin quickly stepped forward to stop him. In the eyes of a house elf, this answer was already very complete.

"If I'm not mistaken, it's Apparition." Fan Lin said, "Just like Hogwarts, where the magic of house elves is not restricted. Maybe Voldemort has never considered such a thing. , a house elf may have left his arrangement, and in his opinion, Kreacher was already dead the moment he drank the potion.”

"So..." Fan Lin thought for a moment, "You brought this thing back? At that time?"

"No, Master Regulus did not ask Kreacher to do anything else, so Kreacher went home directly." Kreacher said, "According to Master Regulus's instructions, he returned to the Black family's home. ancestral home.”

"Then what happened after you came back?" Sirius continued to ask, "When you told Regulus what happened, what did he say?"

"Master Regulus is very worried... very worried." Kreacher's hoarse voice came out again, "Master Regulus told Kreacher to hide and not leave the house. So Kreacher did so, Never go out or show up in front of outsiders.”

"Are you hiding here?" Fan Lin asked. This was very possible. In Regulus's mind, Kreacher's return was definitely allowed by Voldemort, otherwise how could a house elf leave there.

"And after that?"

"After? After a while, one night, Master Regulus came to the cupboard and found Kreacher. Master Regulus looked strange, not like his usual self. Kreacher could tell that he Feeling very confused, the young master asked Kreacher to take him to the cave, the same cave where Kreacher and the Dark Lord had been..." (To be continued)
