Chapter 1013 Responsibility

"Mudblood..."

"I said, you are not allowed to use insulting words against them." Sirius sat down weakly. He raised his hand, trying to grab the locket in his hand, but the next second, he His hand was lowered.

He looked at Kreacher. The house elf's disgusted expression had not faded, which made Sirius' anger rise again.

"You actually...you actually let Regulus die there?" Sirius' angry voice echoed throughout the kitchen.

"No, Sirius, don't..." But before Hermione could finish her words, Kreacher's body had already reacted.

The next second, Kreacher's body appeared next to the wall, and his huge head slammed into the wall. He used all his strength, and no one even reacted, and green blood splashed on the wall. .

"No, Kreacher... no... don't hurt yourself!" Hermione screamed, trying to pull Kreacher back.

But the house elf was surprisingly strong, and Hermione couldn't control it at all.

"It's not Kreacher's fault, he is just a house elf, they can only obey..." Hermione screamed, and Kreacher's green blood even splashed on the back of Hermione's hand.

But Sirius didn't stop. Compared to Kreacher, Kreacher's mistakes were even more unforgivable in his eyes.

Fan Lin had no choice but to use a immobilization spell to immobilize Kreacher. If Fan Lin didn't do this, he could guarantee that Kreacher would definitely crash and die here today.

This is something no one wants to see.

"you should not……"

"You shouldn't. Kreacher is just a slave. All they can do is follow their master's instructions." Hermione screamed, tears streaming down her face.

After a long silence, Hermione gradually calmed down.

"No matter what, Sirius, you must be nice to Kreacher."

"He looked at my brother..."

"That is your brother's choice. It has nothing to do with Kreacher. And, as I said, Kreacher cannot disobey his master's orders. If no one dies, there will be no Black family. Your brother is protecting you." He will definitely die there. It is impossible for a house elf to have the courage to touch Voldemort's things," Fan Lin said, "What you should do is to choose to respect rather than vent your anger on a house elf here. "

"I know, but..." Sirius sat down in silence. Although he still looked at Kreacher with hatred in his eyes, it was more aimed at the culprit who wanted his brother's name.

Regulus went there determined to die.

Voldemort asked him to keep the Horcrux and even provided him with Kreacher. It was impossible for Regulus not to know where he went and what it meant.

The two of them can come out at the same time, but after what?

Without Harry Potter, there is no hope of defeating Voldemort. This is definitely the most helpless and only choice that Regulus can make.

Sirius stopped talking and just buried his head in his hands. It must be admitted that this completely changed Sirius's view of Regulus, the boy who always played behind him when he was a child.

This was difficult for Sirius to accept, just as it was when he learned of Peter Pedroe's betrayal.

"So, Kreacher, when Regulus was dragged into the lake by those corpses...you brought this locket back and tried to destroy it, right?" Fan Lin hesitated and asked. .

"Yes, but Kreacher couldn't leave any traces on it." The house elf said sadly. He wanted to continue punishing himself, but he couldn't move. Fanlin's spell firmly imprisoned him, "Kreacher Che tried all the methods, all the methods, but none... none of them succeeded. There were so many powerful magics on the box that Kreacher couldn't hurt him... Kreacher couldn't carry out the order, and Kreacher couldn't destroy the pendant. Box! In the eyes of the hostess, Master Regulus's disappearance made the hostess go crazy with grief. Kreacher knew everything but couldn't tell her what happened because Master Regulus banned... Kreacher is forbidden to tell the mistress what happened in the cave..."

Fan Lin sighed heavily. For Kreacher, Fan Lin felt more pity for Kreacher. Whether Kreacher was crazy or something else, this was not Kreacher's problem.

"In fact, I just destroyed it." Fan Lin shook the locket in his hand, "The thing that Regulus has always wanted to destroy, your mission is over, Kreacher..."

"What?" Kreacher's eyes widened with disbelief.

"You destroyed it?" Kreacher asked again.

"Yes, just when you were unconscious." Fan Lin said, "So, don't hurt yourself anymore. Your mission is over, Kreacher. Promise me not to continue to punish yourself after I remove the magic. ,This is an order."

Fan Lin hesitated for a moment, but finally released his control over Kreacher.

The house elf looked at Fan Lin with incredible eyes, but his immediate actions made Fan Lin feel...

Kreacher was bowing to them. Unlike being forced by Sirius, Fanlin could feel the change in Kreacher.

Relieved?

This may be the most realistic portrayal of Kreacher. You know, a house elf who has been indoctrinated with pure-blood theory all his life would actually thank a wizard from the Muggle world from the bottom of his heart?

This was definitely something more terrifying than death for Kreacher before.

Fan Lin raised his eyebrows. He couldn't tell whether he was moved or what kind of emotion he was feeling, but what was certain was that this house elf definitely respected him from the bottom of his heart.

It was as if the respect for Regulus had been transferred.

This can be considered a relief.

Suddenly Fanlin understood why Hermione must free the house elves.

They are also living beings, with their own joys and sorrows. No matter how distorted their thoughts are, even a die-hard like Kreacher will change.

Although it is a little more difficult, it is not an impossible path, it is just the domesticated obedience of the house elves that is causing trouble.

If not, Regulus might not have to die at all. It would be a good idea for Kreacher to take Regulus out and take him somewhere else, perhaps to find Dumbledore.

But adhering to the pride of pure-blood nobles, Regulus still did not choose this way, but it must be admitted that they received a lot of help, and this help came from Regulus, a Death Eater.

"Thank you, Master Al, you... you helped Master Regulus and also helped Kreacher!" Kreacher bowed deeply again. Green blood flowed down his forehead and dripped on the floor, causing a splash of blood...

"Oh, Kreacher..." Hermione hesitated and wanted to hug Kreacher, but this time Hermione succeeded. Kreacher did not dodge, but just trembled, and then let Hermione's hand rest on him. on the body.

"So, you freed Kreacher. This was not a responsibility you should bear. But now, none of this is important..." (To be continued)
