Chapter 854 The Prodigal Son

Allen grabbed one end of the chain with a slight shake of his hand, and the octagonal metal-rimmed locket was displayed in front of Kreacher. Kreacher was stunned and burst into tears, and it was difficult to restrain his emotions.

This locket is supported by an S at the front, and a long inscription is engraved on the back of the locket under the flipped surface. Inlaid in the box is a green gemstone with a snakeskin pattern, surrounded by the inscription Astrological symbols and azimuths, these symbols deal with the astrological knowledge of the measurement of the relative angles of the planets and their relationship to each other, a ring symbol and various other symbols are also engraved on the locket, a curved Metal wires are tightly wound around the locket, connecting to a snake-like body.

Kreacher wiped his tear-stained eyes with his hand, "Master Regulus gave it to me! You found it! Kreacher made a mistake, Kreacher failed to carry out the master's order and lost it! "

Sirius looked at the pendant suspiciously, judging from his memory that Alan probably got it in the deal that cleared him up in the third grade, he shrugged and didn't care, in fact, if Alan wanted to, he would Everything can be taken away, of course, if this is the case, Sirius thinks that he might really have to go out to work for others.

"Kreacher, do you know where it came from? What does Regulus have to do with it? Tell me everything you know, including the locket and what Regulus has to do with it." Allen didn't urge him, and waited patiently for him to calm down before inquiring, then he pointed to the pendant and said to Sirius with probing eyes, "This locket your brother got is amazing, it should be Sarah A relic of Chuck Slytherin himself."

"Why didn't you tell me? We haven't heard anything about Regulus for so many years." Sirius roared angrily, looking at Kreacher angrily.

"Master Regulus disappeared, and the mistress went mad with grief, but Kreacher couldn't tell him what happened, no, because Master Regulus banned—forbidden him to—the family said rock - What happened in the cave." Kreacher said with a sob, "Kreacher promised Master Regulus not to talk about it!"

"I order you to tell!" Sirius was very annoyed when he saw that the clue was always beside him, but he didn't notice it.

"Sirius, don't interrupt! Let me ask!" Allen hurriedly stopped another round of quarreling before Hermione pleaded and the house elf self-harmed, "Kreacher, your Regulus can't obey your orders. Tell the family members, that is, the person surnamed Black, explain his situation, but I am not considered a "family member", and you can tell me that it is not against the order he gave you if I ask you."

Kreacher froze, as if he was thinking about judging whether using this loophole was a violation of his master's order.

Just when Sirius couldn't help urging, Kreacher let himself wipe away the tears on his face, and when he spoke again, his voice was muffled, but he could hear it quite clearly in the quiet living room.

"My mistress has been heartbroken since Master Sirius escaped. But Master Regulus knows what the name Black and his pure blood mean. Master Regulus joined the Dark Lord's organization, and he is So happy and proud. Until one day, Master Regulus came to see Kreacher in the kitchen, and he said that the Dark Lord wanted an elf. Master Regulus offered Kreacher." The old elf's voice was somewhat hoarse, "Master Regulus said it was his own and Kreacher's honor, and Kreacher must do everything the Dark Lord asked him to do, and then go—go home."

"What did the Dark Lord ask you to do?" Allen asked, leaning forward.

Kreacher's breathing became short of breath, and he sobbed again, "...there was a boat...we arrived at the small island in the middle of the lake...a stone basin, filled with potions. Black—the Dark Lord asked Kreacher to drink."

Kreacher was trembling all over, and his deep voice trembled: "Kreacher must be obedient, drink up all the potion, but there are many horrible scenes when drinking... that potion burns my heart, Kreacher only feels extremely thirsty,

It was as if his internal organs were on fire...but no matter how Kreacher pleaded for mercy, the Dark Lord just laughed. When the stone basin was empty, the Dark Lord threw a locket into it, and filled it with potions. Kreacher needed water, so he crawled to the edge of the island to drink from the Black Lake... many dead hands dragged Kreacher down..."

"Oh, poor Kreacher." Hermione couldn't bear it. She couldn't imagine the pain and despair the elf had suffered at that time. "How did you escape?"

Kreacher looked at the necklace and grunted coldly. Although he didn't say anything to curse Hermione, he was unwilling to respond to her words.

"Regulus, look at your decision, what kind of stupid thing you are following!" Sirius' disdainful tone made Kreacher furious, it widened its bloodshot eyeballs, and stretched out a finger, very He said to Sirius in a deterrent manner, "You are not allowed to slander Master Regulus! You have no way to compare with him!"

"What about Regulus? What did he say and what did he do when he found out?" Sirius was eager to know about his younger brother, and didn't care about Kreacher's comparisons and insults—but Kreacher didn't answer him at all. Regulus' question.

Allen took one look at Sirius, then deliberately "copy-pasted" his question and asked Kreacher again.

"Master Regulus was very worried. He told Kreacher to hide at home and not go anywhere... After a while, Master Regulus found Kreacher, and Kreacher could see that he was very upset... he Tell Kreacher to take him to that cave of the Dark Lord."

"He's an idiot, what are you doing there by yourself?" With a bang, Sirius' fist hit the sofa, and he had some bad premonitions. This kind of behavior that seriously violated the Dark Lord's wishes was very important to his brother's situation. Not a good sign.

Immediately afterwards, Sirius paused. At this time, he clearly felt that the devil's contract he had signed with Alan had been completed—Alan had provided him with news about Regulus, and he would Kreacher was traded to Alan—now he already knew the news that Regulus was on the island in the middle of the lake where the Dark Lord had been, so the contract has been completed in the dark, and now Kreacher's master has been replaced by Alan Harris.

Sirius turned his head and said to Kreacher: "After today's business is done, you and Alan will leave, and you will no longer belong to the Black family in the future."

Kreacher, who was completely unprepared for this, looked at Sirius with a pair of big eyes. After a few seconds of silence, his eyes were filled with unforgettable hatred. He was so thin that he could see the sharp rise and fall of his ribs and chest. , "You prodigal son wants to ruin so many things in the family! Kreacher will always belong to the ancient and noble Black family! Master, you can't do this, your name has been removed from the tapestry by the mistress!"

"You have lost the collections of so many generations of the family!" The house-elf trembled, staggered, cursed Sirius hissingly, and let out a blood-curdling scream, "My poor daughter! Master, your loyal old Kreacher is about to be driven away by that ungrateful prodigal and bastard... Kreacher must never leave the Black family."

Both Sirius and Allen were a little embarrassed. One of them lost the family collection saved by countless generations of struggle within the Black family, and the other got the family collection saved by countless generations of struggle within the Black family.

"Kreacher made a mistake, Kreacher can't carry out the master's order! Kreacher can't leave the Black family!" Kreacher rushed to the poker standing by the stove, he picked up the poker and hit himself hard on the head.

Hermione suddenly jumped up from the sofa, threw herself in front of the elf, and grabbed his shoulder tightly, "Stop, don't hurt yourself." Hermione screamed, but the voice quickly disappeared Overwhelmed by Kreacher's cries.

"The Mudblood touched Kreacher, and Kreacher didn't allow it. What will the mistress say?" Kreacher desperately pushed Hermione but was powerless against her strange power, with obvious weariness and disgust in his voice.

"It's okay, I don't care, this sudden news is a bolt from the blue for him, he is just too sad." Hermione quickly turned her head and explained to Allen and Sirius, for fear that Kreacher would be punished for it.

"Kreacher, I order you not to move!" Sirius was very angry at being insulted as the host, but Kreacher was still struggling and screaming, and his movements were not hindered by anything.

Seeing the hideous and ugly appearance of the elf crying and screaming, Allen wanted to give orders to stop Kreacher forcefully, but seeing Hermione's compassionate and benevolent expression, he paused and softened his tone: "Kreacher stop!" Excuse me, I still have something to ask you about Regulus Black, you also think that the efforts of your former master will not be in vain, right?"

The little elf immediately froze, he lay upright on the cold slate, tears gushed from his sunken eye sockets, he looked even more sad than just looking for death and life - Kreacher found that he had begun to be ordered by Allen constraints, which means it has changed owners.

Hermione looked at Kreacher with sympathy, and at the same time she was able to let go, which was a good thing for her and Kreacher.
