Chapter 867 It's Just for You to Keep Forever
Sirius finally stopped ravaging Regulus' poor black hair. Due to the many immune properties of undead creatures, he had to pull out his wand and turn it into a whip, trapping Regulus to death. Stopping, he fell off his body and fell to the ground on his back, as if he had taken all his strength just now.
"Sirius, do you want to help you relieve Regulus of his current state, restore him to his proper appearance, and bring him back?" Allen, who came over, asked tactfully if he wanted to turn him back into an immobile corpse .
"No! I have to take him home and let the old witch take a good look at what her education has done to Regulus!" Sirius put his hands on the ground and sat up.
Allen didn't expose Sirius' words. He seemed to be blaming his mother, but in fact he wanted to let Regulus meet again before burying him—after Regulus disappeared, he and Sirius' mother Wo Mrs. Albuga Black was "madly sad" about it.
"Alan, what about the other ghouls?" Hermione glanced over those Muggle ghouls, showing pity. Regulus could be taken back by Sirius for a proper burial, but these Muggle ghouls Relatives will never be able to come here to take them back.
"Let them stay here for the time being, otherwise the layout here will be useless..." Allen pondered for a moment, and began to let Lynch direct the corpses back to the lake, "After the matter is over, I will use divination to try my best." Send them back to their relatives one by one... Those who cannot be sent home will also hold a decent collective funeral..."
Kreacher's two big ears drooped. If the hostess saw her favorite son turned into a corpse, she didn't know what would happen. It's a pity that old Kreacher can no longer be by her side, nor can she go back to Black. The family is gone - Kreacher, who was sad in his heart, couldn't help cursing Sirius, if it wasn't for this prodigal son who was incompetent, he wouldn't have become someone else's elf.
Allen's eyes swept over the house elf: "Kreacher, I order you and Sirius to take Regulus together, and come back to me after helping finish his funeral."
Sirius instinctively wanted to refuse: "No, Alan, Kreacher is already..."
"Sirius, I suggest you take Kreacher with you. Now that Regulus is in such a situation, it's not easy for you to control him alone." Allen stretched out his hand to interrupt Sirius' next words, and then conveniently He pointed his raised hand at Kreacher, who was about to scold with his shriveled chest puffed up, stopped it, and continued, "You already know Regulus' feelings for Kreacher, and your brother will be willing to see it too." When you do this, he will hope that Kreacher can attend his funeral, and no matter what the relationship between you and Kreacher is, after all, Kreacher has loyally served the Black family for so many years and took care of Regulus for so many years , let him attend the funeral and bury Regulus, this is also what Kreacher deserves."
With Sirius' stubborn temper, it would be difficult for him to change his mind without giving enough reasons, so Alan patiently persuaded that although Sirius' complexion was not good-looking, but for Kreacher and him to go back to bury Regulus, it was difficult for him to change his mind. Without saying a word, he turned around and started to get his brother up.
"Thank you, Kreacher, Master." Kreacher bowed deeply to Allen. Unlike the perfunctory ones before, this time he was much more sincere.
Hermione's voice contained approval: "If those families with house-elves were as reasonable as you, Ellen, life for house-elves would be much easier."
Hermione's voice paused, and she suddenly felt a cold egg-sized object stuffed into her hand by Allen. She lowered her head, and it was the real locket of Slytherin, a gorgeous S, Inlaid with many small emeralds, it shone dimly in the twilight illuminated by the wand.
"Hermione, give this locket to Kreacher. As the master, I can't give it to him with my own hands." Allen explained softly to Hermione.
Hermione also showed a gentle smile to Allen, and she nodded knowingly. If Allen personally gave the locket to Kreacher, and the master handed them a piece of clothing, it meant setting him free, but in Kreacher's case, In the traditional concept of house elves, it is considered a disgrace to be evicted from the house by the owner-although the pendant is not strictly a piece of clothing.
"Kreacher, Allen wants me to pass this on to you." Hermione knelt down and stuffed the locket into Kreacher's hand, "This is the real Slytherin locket, Regulus Mr. S. Black did not hesitate to sacrifice his life in exchange for it, and I believe he would be willing to give it to you as a thank you... for completing the task he entrusted to you..."
"This... can't!" Kreacher screamed incoherently and bowed to Allen again, "Master, this locket is a relic of the great wizard Salazar Slytherin himself, it is too precious , Kreacher is just a house elf, not worthy of such a precious thing!"
"This is an order, Kreacher. It's just for you to keep forever." Allen spread his hands indifferently. "After that, keep it in the cabinet in your room and don't hide it randomly. Maggie will teach you some rules of my house."
Kreacher tilted his head and met Alan's gentle eyes. The elf's eyes were moist again. He felt that the new master looked at him like Master Regulus—he finally took Hermione and handed it over again. The pendant from the past, made up his mind to wipe the place touched by the Mudblood well when he went back. After hanging it around his neck, Kreacher hesitated for a moment, and twitched funnyly at the back of Hermione who had returned. , trying to make a half salute.
"You shouldn't spoil the house-elf like this..." Sirius felt that Allen was too nice to this house-elf. Seeing Kreacher bowing to Allen, and even his attitude towards Hermione changed, it was a bit tasteless , Thinking of the house elf named Maggie that I had seen before, turned to Kreacher and said, "It seems that you can live a good life after passing, and you will have your own room furniture."
A moment later, Allen opened a door to another world for Sirius outside the cave and let them walk through.
With a series of loud sounds of metal clashing at the other end of the gate, the door of Black's old house opened. Alan and Hermione on the side of the portal witnessed Regulus finally returning home after many years.
"Stay for one night before leaving?" Sirius turned back and invited, Kreacher stood beside him, his thin body leaning against the door frame, his eyes lingered on Alan's face, and behind him, Regulus' body It was tightly bound by the belt transformed by Sirius' wand, and it kept twisting its body, trying to break free from the belt with a distorted face.
"No need, Sirius, Hermione and I have to repair the entrance before leaving, and you still have a lot of business to do, so we won't bother you." Alan shook his head and let himself pass, "Remember to keep it secret." Just stop talking about it.”
"I owe you a favor... Counting the previous ones I owe you several times... You can tell me at any time if you have anything." Sirius nodded and did not force it. He felt that he had received many favors and did not think it was a domestic animal. The elf can repay it, and he thinks that Allen just used this as an excuse to help him and his brother.
After saying goodbye again and waiting for Sirius to fully enter the house, Allen unlocked the gate to another world, turned around and returned to the entrance of the cave with Hermione, where several tall death knights were dutifully guarding the entrance of the cave inside.
