Chapter 492 Silent Sirius
"Of course, what did I lie to you for?" Under Kreacher's expectant gaze, Ivan nodded.
The house elf's lips wriggled and her big eyes were filled with tears, but she quickly thought of the magic of the locket and screamed in disbelief.
"Impossible! Kreacher tried everything. Kreacher threw it into the furnace, smashed it with a hammer, and even destructive spells couldn't hurt it!"
"I know! The same goes for other items left behind by black magic. They require some special means to destroy!" Ivan interrupted Kreacher's words.
Of course, he knew that Horcruxes were difficult to destroy. Only a few means such as fierce fire and basilisk fangs could destroy such things.
What's more important is that the locket is engraved with many protective magic words, which should be written by Slytherin.
The Horcrux is hidden inside the locket. If you want to destroy it, you either need to know the language of snakes to open the locket, or you have to face the protection methods left by Slytherin.
Ivan had to sigh that in a sense, Voldemort did a good job in protecting the Horcruxes.
For example, placing Ravenclaw's diadem in the storage room filled with miscellaneous items in the Room of Requirement is equivalent to throwing a grain of sand into the desert, and the address of this desert is still very secret.
Hufflepuff's golden cup is placed in Gringotts. Obviously Voldemort asked Gringotts, the "safest" in the wizarding world, to help him guard the Horcruxes.
In the original time and space, if Harry hadn't had the Horcrux sensor, it would have been difficult to find these Horcruxes one by one.
But it was different for him as an "insider". In his eyes, most of Voldemort's methods were as if they didn't exist.
Seeing Ivan so confident, Kreacher finally believed it.
"Wait a minute, you confused me. You want to destroy what Regulus left behind. You have to tell me why, right?" Sirius said as he looked at Kreacher and frowned.
However, the house elf just asked Master Regulus to destroy the locket.
"Kreacher, what is the order you received? Not to tell everyone? Or not to certain people?" Lupine suddenly thought of some rules of house elves and asked tentatively.
Kreacher looked at Sirius without saying a word, and everyone suddenly understood.
"Sirius, it seems you need to avoid it. The order Kreacher received from Regulus should be that he is not allowed to tell anyone about this matter to the Black family." Ivan guessed.
Sirius was a little dissatisfied. The person here who should know the truth most was himself, so why did he have to avoid it?
Before Sirius could retort, Ivan winked at him and mouthed the words "Illusion Body Curse". Only then did Sirius understand and turned away neatly.
"Can we talk now?" Ivan waited for a while and felt that Sirius should have returned, so he looked at Kreacher.
Kreacher was completely unaware of Ivan and others' tricks, and was completely kept in the dark. He thought Sirius had left, so he tremblingly recounted what happened that year.
Ever since Sirius abandoned the pure-blood ideal and ran away at the age of sixteen, his mother was heartbroken, and other pure-blood families also pointed fingers at the Black family.
In order to satisfy his family and restore the family's reputation, Regulus chose to join the Dark Lord's organization and became a glorious Death Eater!
Because at that time, the Dark Lord's ideas satisfied all pure-blood families and even some mixed-blood families.
After all, wizards have magical powers and can fool Muggles at will, but they are forced by the Ministry of Magic to hide in the magical world. This makes many wizards dissatisfied and they want to change everything!
And the Dark Lord is the hope of change in their eyes!
Because Voldemort promised them that after taking charge of the magical world, all wizards can use magic freely, and even directly rule all Muggles and their descendants...
"So Regulus also thinks that wizards should rule Muggles and agree with Voldemort's philosophy?" Harry couldn't help but interrupt Kreacher's words.
"Master Regulus said that the conflict between wizards and Muggles will become more and more serious in the future. Either Muggles will dominate wizards, or wizards will dominate Muggles. We can only postpone the arrival of that day, and there is no possibility of easing it! Kreacher said with his eyes widened and sobbing.
"How is that possible? We are living a good life now!
Wizards stay in the magical world and have their own way of life, and Muggles also have their own philosophy of survival. They don't bother each other. Everyone can live a good life without Voldemort! Harry retorted.
Lupine opened his mouth to speak but stopped. Ivan also wanted to refute Kreacher's words, but fell silent after thinking about it.
Can Muggles and wizards really live in peace forever?
Will wizards who have mastered magical powers be willing to coexist peacefully with ordinary people? Don’t you have the idea of being superior to others?
In contrast, will Muggles allow wizards, a dangerous minority group who can fool and cleanse their own memories to exist?
Ivan didn't know the answer and didn't want to think about it anymore.
Kreacher ignored Harry's words and continued angrily.
"Master Regulus is different from that bad boy. He knows exactly what the name Black and his pure blood mean."
Apparently, it believed that Sirius had some responsibility for the death of Regulus.
After hearing Kreacher's words, Sirius, who had been hiding in the dark with the Disillusionment Curse, fell silent.
Although he was happy when he ran away from home, he did forget how big an impact such a decision would have on him as the eldest son of the Black family, and what kind of pressure Regulus, as the second son, would have to bear.
"Then what? How did he get the locket, what is the use of this thing, and why did he destroy it?" Lupine asked.
"One year after Master Regulus joined the Dark Lord's service. One day, Master Regulus came to visit Kreacher in the kitchen. Tell Kreacher...say..." the old house elf screamed. "He said the Dark Lord wanted an elf!"
"Voldemort wants an elf? Why?" Harry was confused. Lupine was also very strange.
"Oh, yes!" Kreacher's expression looked a little painful, "Master Regulus contributed to Kreacher. This is an honor. Kreacher must obey the arrangement and do one thing!"
Kreacher kept shaking his head, and even his breathing turned into sobs, but he still slowly recounted his experience.
