Chapter 1012 Regulus and Kreacher
…
"Regulus?!" There was a hint of cold disgust in Sirius's voice. For Regulus, Sirius was more of a disdain. "He made you drink those potions again?"
Kreacher burst into tears, his body shaking uncontrollably. This was completely beyond Sirius' reaction.
Regulus wanted to take Voldemort's Horcrux. In Sirius' opinion, the best way was to let Kreacher drink some of the potion. After all, Kreacher drank it once and did not die. Although it was not clear how to do this. Arrived, but...
Who cares if a house elf lives or dies?
Even Fan Lin looked at Kreacher in surprise. Although he knew Regulus's choice, Fan Lin was still shocked after receiving Kreacher's confirmation.
"Thunder...Master Regulus took out a locket from his pocket, just like the one owned by the Dark Lord." Kreacher looked at the locket in Fan Lin's hand, tears and snot mixed on his face, This looked like it made the house elf miserable. "He asked Kreacher to hold it and change the locket after the stone basin was dry..."
"Master Regulus ordered Kreacher to leave and leave him alone. No matter what happened to him, Kreacher could not look back. Master Regulus asked Kreacher to leave there and take this locket with him..."
Kreacher's voice became hoarse, his whole body was buried in his hands and he couldn't stop sobbing, "Master Regulus asked Kreacher to go home and take this thing back and destroy it, but Kreacher didn't do it. , Master Regulus wanted Kreacher to hide things from Master Black, so Kreacher hid the things..."
For a moment, everyone became silent, and even Fanlin couldn't say anything to blame or comfort Kreacher.
Although he already knew that Regulus drank the potions in the end and died in the cave, but now listening to the house elf recount the scene, it was a completely different feeling.
Fanlin seemed to be able to see the inner struggle of the youngest boy in the Black family in the dark cave surrounded by the inferi. He had to put on a straight face and loudly ordered Kreacher to leave and leave him alone...
There is no doubt that Regulus knows what he is going to do next. Naturally, he also clearly knows the consequences of doing this thing. If Voldemort discovers it, the Black family will face disaster. Gulus still made his choice.
In fact, because of Voldemort's pure blood theory, Regulus was one of the first people to support Voldemort. Like Malfoy and Bella, Voldemort would not reject anyone with noble blood. Naturally, Black The ancient and noble wizard's surname gave Regulus the honor to become a Death Eater at the age of sixteen. Like other Death Eaters, he was honored to serve the Dark Lord.
However, Regulus did not obey absolutely blindly. Voldemort was an excellent wizard who could find no faults in his early stages and even for a period of time after he graduated from Hogwarts.
While at Hogwarts, Voldemort was loved by all the professors except Dumbledore.
Following a good leader is undoubtedly a very lucky thing.
However, when he discovered that Voldemort was gradually revealing his true colors, when he discovered that Voldemort was not promoting a pure wizard bloodline, but wanted to use brutal means to rule other people, and when Voldemort tried to kill the innocent Kreacher, Ray Gulus finally understood the difference between the real, cruel world and his imagination.
There is always a gap between dreams and reality. Sometimes it just takes a slight step, but sometimes, the distance is as wide as the ends of the earth.
There is nothing wrong with dreams, but whenever they are connected to reality, there will always be a distinction between right and wrong.
There is no doubt that Voldemort's path is not suitable for Regulus. Voldemort once tried to conquer with death and violence, and the pure blood theory...
This is nothing more than a means to an end.
Just like Fudge opposed Dumbledore and downplayed Barty Crouch in order to consolidate his power.
Fanlin didn't know what Regulus was thinking. Perhaps as the sole heir of the Black family at the time, the pure-blood theory he implemented was deeply buried in his heart. However, this did not prevent him from opposing some bad things.
There is no doubt that Regulus is very smart. He was the first person to discover that Voldemort was making Horcruxes, even earlier than Dumbledore. Moreover, except for Kreacher's vague narrative, Fanlin could not think of Regulus. Si had no one else who could help him, but he still discovered the secret and tried to destroy it.
There is no doubt that in terms of team bravery, Regulus is no less than Sirius or anyone else, or even more so.
And just when he knew Voldemort's true face and made up his mind to resist Voldemort, it was the darkest era when the Dark Lord was at his most powerful and the entire wizarding world was at its darkest.
You know, Voldemort suppressed Dumbledore at that time and was unable to hold his head up. If it hadn't been for Harry, it wouldn't have taken long at all. Even Dumbledore, who had the Elder Wand, wouldn't have been able to keep fighting with him. Voldemort countered.
Blind defense will not solve the problem. Everyone knows this. Dumbledore cannot always block Voldemort.
Voldemort is getting stronger day by day, but Dumbledore has begun to decline.
The day when pure blood theory was implemented was getting closer and closer, but Regulus still chose to resist...
It is hard to imagine that when one is close to success, a person will stick to his principles and choose to give up.
And, most importantly, Regulus didn't even have anyone to ask Kreacher to get out of there in his place.
If Voldemort's things were touched, someone would die.
And Regulus made a choice between Kreacher and him, and also made a choice between Voldemort and the Black family.
This is a responsibility, and it also represents Regulus' kindness...
"Then Master Regulus just...he just..." Kreacher sobbed.
"What happened then? What did Regulus do?" Sirius asked loudly.
"Then, he drank up the potion, Klee switched the locket, and watched Master Regulus being dragged underwater, and being killed by those dead hands..."
"Oh, Kreacher!" Hermione's eyes were red and she finally couldn't help crying.
She tried to wrap her arms around Kreacher, but the house elf immediately stood up and backed away with obvious disgust. (To be continued)
