Chapter 490 Horcrux, Whereabouts and Past Events

Seeing that Harry still couldn't understand, Sirius explained it to him.

"Since you have met my mother, I believe you can tell something. My parents are both firm supporters of bloodline theory and are crazy about pure bloodlines. They believe that people from the Black family are born noble...

This coincides with Voldemort's philosophy. My idiot brother probably had a too weak temperament and actually believed their words, so he joined the ranks of Death Eaters..."

"Then what? How is he?" Harry asked curiously.

"Dead!" Sirius' words revealed sarcasm, "He was not killed by Aurors in the battle, but by Voldemort. Of course, it is also possible that someone killed him under Voldemort's instructions!"

Harry was very surprised and couldn't understand why Voldemort wanted to kill his subordinates?

Sirius saw Harry's confusion and continued.

“I don’t know the specific reason, but I guess that when he first joined the Death Eaters, he might simply want to satisfy his parents and didn’t realize how cruel it was.

When Voldemort gradually showed his ambition, he wanted to quit, but he was already in too deep! You can't expect to submit your resignation to Voldemort and be done with it. Either work hard for the rest of your life, or die."

Harry fell silent and didn't reply for a long time.

Kreacher, who was listening in, wanted to say something, but hesitated, and finally muttered quietly, but this time even the people who were very close could not hear clearly.

Ivan, who also knew the cause and effect, did not speak out because he could not explain how he learned about Regulus. Telling the truth rashly could easily arouse suspicion.

The only hope is to find the Horcrux and let Kreacher talk about it himself!

After such an episode, and it was getting late, everyone had no idea of ​​cleaning the house, so they each picked a cleaned room on the second floor and made do with it.

Ivan did not leave, but found Kreacher alone after everyone left.

"Kreacher!"

"Sir, what's the matter?" The old house elf looked a little depressed. He no longer looked as arrogant as before. His eyes were still a little moist, as if he had cried secretly.

"I just heard Sirius say a lot about Regulus and I am very interested in him. Can you tell me about him?" Ivan asked.

Perhaps he thought this was too abrupt, so Ivan added.

"I don't mean any harm. I just saw that when Sirius introduced his brother, you seemed very dissatisfied and seemed to have different opinions. I wonder if there might be any misunderstanding."

Kreacher stared at Ivan with his eyes the size of light bulbs, and finally left without saying anything.

Ivan understood that the other party did not trust him, so he sighed helplessly and said comfortingly.

"It doesn't matter if you don't trust me. You can tell Sirius that he still cares about this brother."

Although Sirius' previous words were full of sarcasm and disdain for this younger brother, Ivan could still hear Sirius' concern for Regulus, and he probably just hated the iron.

Kreacher trembled, but did not look back. Instead, he snapped his fingers and disappeared.

Ivan shook his head, not knowing whether the other party listened.

The next day, early in the morning, Ivan yawned and after washing up, he went to the living room on the first floor to enjoy today's breakfast.

Harry, Lupine and Sirius had been waiting there early, but he was the last one to arrive.

"Ivan, how was your rest last night? Are you still getting used to it?" Sirius asked with a smile.

"It's pretty good. This is my first time living in such a big mansion!" Ivan said jokingly and found a seat to sit down.

"Just get used to living here. You are welcome to come anytime in the future! Anyway, let's eat first. I will take you to the Black family's library later." Sirius clapped his hands.

Old Kreacher, who was holding a plate, suddenly appeared in front of everyone. He lowered his head and walked up to everyone and put down the plates one by one.

Compared with the luxurious decoration, the breakfast is a bit simple. There are only a few bowls of porridge, a few pieces of bread, and some potato chips.

Sirius was very angry. He felt that Kreacher was deliberately neglecting his friends.

Fortunately, Harry persuaded him to stop, so Kreacher didn't get scolded.

Of course, this house elf didn't care about the scolding or punishment at all, it was still doing its own thing.

However, when he passed by Ivan and put down the plate, Kreacher suddenly stopped, hesitated, and whispered.

"You can go to the cabinet in the living room on the first floor and take a look!"

Ivan turned his head to look at it in surprise, but Kreacher changed back to his original appearance, standing hunched in the corner of the living room without saying a word.

Seeing this, Ivan gave up the idea of ​​asking again. Since Kreacher said so, he should go there and have a look.

After breakfast, Ivan rejected Sirius's proposal to go to the book collection area. Although he came in the name of viewing the book collection, the most important thing now was to find the whereabouts of the Horcrux.

So Ivan planned to follow Kreacher's words and go downstairs to find out. Maybe there was something missing during the previous cleaning.

"Why? Did Kreacher just say something to you?"

Ivan's decision surprised Sirius. Of course, he also noticed that Ivan frequently looked at Kreacher while eating. It was obvious that the two of them were hiding something from him.

Ivan hesitated for a moment, then repeated what he said to Kreacher last night, and continued.

"Kreacher asked me to search in the cabinet in the living room on the first floor just now. Maybe your brother left a letter or something before he died."

When Sirius heard this, he suddenly became angry. He glared at the house elf standing in the corner and cursed angrily.

"How dare you hide such an important thing from me! How did Regulus die? How many things have you not told me? I order you to tell everything you know!"

Sirius was extremely angry. He had never seen his brother since he ran away from home. Everything he learned about it was only after the fact.

And now he discovered that Kreacher actually knew something, but had been hiding it from him for so many days, and might even have hid Regulus's letters or relics. How could he not feel angry?
