Chapter 855 The Black Family Has an Obsession
"It's disgusting, show this to someone, stop crying, Alan still has something to ask you." Sirius muttered impatiently, his tone full of disgust.
Kreacher choked out a sob and let out a loud belch.
"Sirius, before continuing to ask Kreacher, you can't leak what you've seen and heard this time, whether it's the Order of the Phoenix, Dumbledore, or anyone else...you can't tell..." Allen narrowed his eyes and looked The middle-aged wizard glanced, "Don't get me wrong, your brother must have his own reasons for telling Kreacher this way, so that he doesn't want too many people to know, I trust you, but I don't trust your mouth, Gryffindor I don't think anyone but Hermione can keep a secret..."
"Tsk...you are the ones who are too troublesome..." Sirius retorted impatiently, then looked at Allen suspiciously, but was eager to learn about Regulus, Sirius still agreed, "Well, what happened today Everything about it, every word we talked about, I will not reveal."
Allen skillfully took out a piece of parchment from his pocket, let it float in the air, and then let his lit fingers start writing on it in Latin, and he quickly finished writing the contract with ease, and then wrote the contract Handed it to Sirius.
"Again? Does it take so much effort?!" Under Alan's persistent gaze, Sirius took the contract in his hand a little angrily, but under vigilance, he calmed down and scanned it to confirm the content of the contract. Just signed my name.
Allen also signed his full name immediately, and the effectiveness of the contract bound the two of them again at this moment—although this time the agreement was only unilaterally aimed at Sirius to keep him secret.
After doing all this, Allen continued to ask Kreacher: "Kreacher, later, which of you drank the potion?"
"It's Master Regulus." Kreacher beat his head hard with his fist, crying bitterly, "Kreacher is willing to drink that potion for Master Regulus, Kreacher knows how painful it will be, but The young master ordered Kreacher to take a fake locket and change the locket after the stone basin dries up..."
Kreacher's sobs became rough and piercing, "Kreacher must accept the order to leave him alone and go home... not to tell his family what he did... but the locket that the Dark Lord put in must be destroyed... Kreacher I watched helplessly as Master Regulus drank the potion... and was dragged underwater..."
A long wailing sound suddenly sounded in the room, Sirius stood up, cried with unbearable grief, and violently overturned the table, and the decorations on the table were scattered all over the floor. In the chaos, Sirius' face was pale, the corners of his mouth twitched, his body trembled violently, his eyes were blurred, his hands tightly grasped the clothes on his chest, and his heart ached.
After the secret that had been hidden for many years was revealed, Kreacher's body shook violently, tears flowed down his long nose, and the tears mixed with snot and smeared his face with its movements.
Regulus Sirius clenched his fists together fiercely, and the palms were pinched so that nail marks were left. He caught a glimpse of Kreacher who was kneeling on the ground and crying because of too much grief. The burning Sirius found a way to vent like a madman, and reprimanded in disgust: "Kreacher, what are you doing! You just watched your master Regulus die like this?! Why didn't you stop him ? You would rather scold me if you punish yourself, why don't you stop him? How can you just watch him die!"
The more he thought about it, the more angry Sirius went up and kicked Kreacher, but Kreacher had no intention of resisting at all, knelt on the ground and wailed that it was all his fault.
But Sirius was even more annoyed. He pulled out his wand and pointed at Kreacher, but one hand directly pressed Sirius' arm, stopping Sirius' movement. Sirius wanted to break free from this arm, but experienced it in surprise. The former Black family house-elf experience,
He was held tightly, and he couldn't get rid of it at all.
"House elves are a race conquered by wizards in ancient wars. Every one has to receive female training from birth, and must serve the master for generations. They are female slaves who undertake all the housework and are bound by the master. You can't disobey the master's order casually, if you disobey, you must punish yourself. For them, their highest right is to obey the master's order. The highest law of the house elves is the master's order..." Allen held his hand and let go The hand of Sirius who had stopped struggling.
"For the orders of Regulus, whom it truly regards as its master, it's not as easy as disobeying your orders, Sirius." Hermione devoted herself to improving the living conditions of the house elves, and she did a good job on them. Although the only cases she can get close contact with at present are her Dobby, Penello's Winky, and Ellen's Maggie, those house-elves recruited by the umbrella who have lost their masters will also be with Hogwarts. Like the house-elves in the kitchen, they tried to hide when they saw Hermione because she kept trying to pay them pay and time off.
"You-Know-Who tried to kill him, my brother sacrificed his life to bring down You-Know-Who! But this ugly thing still tried to sell my information to You-Know-Who! It happily took advantage of my order to get out Misinterpreted its meaning and revealed information about my intimate relationship with Harry to my cousins!" Sirius was still very angry, "Your fifth-year Ministry of Magic fight was caused by him lying to Harry."
"Sirius, Kreacher doesn't think so," said Hermione, wiping her eyes with the back of her hand, "he's a slave; house-elves are used to being treated badly, even cruelly." ;What the You-Know-Who does to Kreacher is not much worse than they are normally treated in a traditional family like yours. What does the Wizarding War mean to an elf like Kreacher? People, Lady Walburga Black was like that, and Regulus must be like that too, so he gladly serves them and blindly follows their beliefs, I know what you're trying to say..."
Sirius tried to protest, but Hermione just kept going: "Regulus had a change of heart...but it doesn't look like he told Kreacher that, did he? I think I know why, if Kreacher and Regulus If his family maintains the ancient pure blood, then they will be the safest. Regulus is just trying to protect the people in the family. To Kreacher, Sirius, you are a more terrifying existence than the Mysterious Man. In his thinking, you are constantly betraying this family. This is completely different from Regulus in his eyes. You don’t have to try to justify it. You know it’s true. For Kreacher, who has served the Black family for most of his life Let me tell you, he had been alone for a long time when you came back, he must have wanted some love, I'm sure 'Miss Sissy' and 'Miss Bella' would have treated Kreacher much kinder, so he was willing to They did things, told everything they wanted to know, and I keep saying wizards will pay for the way they treat house-elves, and of course You-Know-Who does... and so do you, Sirius."
"Sirius, you never regard house elves as creatures with the same sensitive emotions as humans." Allen patted Hermione on the back who was a little excited, "This is the cause and effect, you have seen my Maggie Now, her loyalty to me made me dare to entrust my life to her, and even if you don't mention her, maybe you should see Hermione's hard work in the past few years, and the state of those house elves who are protected by her Well, look at Dobby, even Winky at Penello's is far better off than she was at Crouch's."
Sirius' arm hung down, and he fell back on the sofa weakly. After calming down, he murmured in grief: "Regulus, what kind of hero are you, a cowardly coward, why don't you tell me... ...you fool, you don't even have a decent helper around you...you are the bravest of the Black family...I'm just a stupid brother..."
There has been no news of his younger brother for so many years, and he has already tacitly agreed when he was killed, but Sirius never expected that Regulus would sacrifice in such a way, which overturned his previous formation of this younger brother. Inherent stereotypes.
"Regulus was too young at the time, and the cruel world of Death Eaters in reality was completely different from the glory of the pure-blood family he had imagined, but it was the moment when the mysterious man tried to kill Kreacher that really changed him. Hermione looked sympathetically at the house elf who was falling into self-blame, brushed her messy hair and looked at Alan, "This is exactly what we need to make some changes in this world."
"There is an obsession in your Black family. Bellatrix used it to gain power to follow the You-Know-Who; Nymphadora, like her mother Andromeda, used it to follow love. The wizard Ted Tonks, even if you were expelled from your Black family because of it; Draco's mother Narcissa used it to protect her family; Sirius You use it to justify chasing the freedom you want, but when you all After leaving, Regulus used this persistence to protect your entire family." Allen sighed and praised, "He is not like you, he is very proud of the Black family's collection, and your family's collection contains knowledge about Horcruxes. , Horcruxes are not magic invented by the mysterious man, but no one has done as much as him. The mysterious man is too arrogant, but he is actually a half-blood wizard and grew up in a Muggle orphanage, without any family support. I admire his efforts in this area, but it is also true. He blindly believes that no one in modern times will understand this kind of profound magic, and Regula Si became suspicious of the mysterious man who was so sure that he would not die, he had heard of this kind of magic before, and after checking, he guessed right."
Kreacher was crying so much that he couldn't even make a sound, just lying on the ground as if he had started to convulse. Seeing the distraught Sirius and Kreacher lying on the ground crying, Alan stood up: " Now, although the name of Mr. Regulus Black cannot be rectified due to special circumstances, it is time to go and bring back the body of the hero, and he cannot just be soaked in that icy lake."
