Chapter 355 The Real Locket
"Your transformation spell is getting better and better!"
Watching Charlie's series of operations, Dumbledore stood aside and couldn't help admiring a few words.
And at this moment, a huge scream suddenly spread throughout the hall.
It turned out to be a huge portrait on the porch, covered behind a moth-eaten moldy curtain, awoken by the sound of Charlie's descaling spell, screaming loudly.
"Damn Kreacher, who asked you to clean up the house so cleanly, I told you, make it a little messier, you useless trash!"
"Now, Mrs. Walburga Black, please be quiet, we have important business to attend to!"
Dumbledore took out the Elder Wand and pointed at the screaming portrait. Immediately, Mrs. Walburga Black in the portrait was unable to make a sound, as if under a silence spell.
And at this moment, at the stairs leading from the basement to the first floor,
Sirius came up, leading an old-looking house-elf in only a rag.
The house elf was very ugly, and looked at Dumbledore and Charlie with deep disdain and disgust, even when looking at Sirius.
"Your name is Kreacher, right? Did your master, Regulus, give you a locket?"
In the living room, Charlie looked at the old house elf and asked gently.
When Keqieli heard Charlie's question, he didn't reply, but whispered:
"Cowards, you are all cowards!"
Kechley is a very special house-elf. He doesn't have a free heart like Dobby, and he doesn't obey her master unconditionally like Winky.
He is terrified of those who really help him, and if it is a master he hates, he will desperately find rules and loopholes to betray.
As the house elf of the Black family, he has inherited the pure blood theory of the Black family in his mind, and the object of his admiration is his little master Regulus.
And the most annoying thing is Sirius, the young master who betrayed the family, and his non-pure-blood theory friends.
However, because Sirius is the last descendant of the current Black family, when he appears, Kreacher must be loyal to him.
"You useless piece of trash, I order you to answer Mr. Charlie's question right now!"
Sirius kicked Kreacher staggeringly, and ordered.
Seeing this, Dumbledore frowned:
"Sirius, he is very old, you should treat him kindly!"
"No way, as soon as I see him, I will recall the ugliness and distortion of this family!"
Sirius gave Kreacher a disgusted look.
Kreacher and the Black family have exactly the same ideology, which always reminds him of many bad memories.
Dumbledore sighed and said nothing more.
Kreacher couldn't disobey Sirius' orders, so although he was extremely reluctant in his heart, he still slowly replied:
"Master Regulus, indeed he gave me a locket!"
Dumbledore and Sirius' eyes lit up when they heard the words, while Charlie continued to ask:
"Where is that locket now?"
Keqieli hesitated for a while, and finally gave the answer under Sirius' sharp eyes:
"I put him in the glass cabinet in the living room on the second floor!"
The second floor is the same as the first floor below, because it has been unoccupied and cleaned for a long time, it has already become messy.
As soon as you enter the second floor, you can see a striking large window, through which you can see the scenery of the entire Grimmauld Place below.
One wall next to the large window is covered with a tapestry of the Black family tree, and the other is covered with the heads of house elves who have served the Black family all their lives.
Opposite the window is a large fireplace flanked by two ornate glass cabinets.
"Merlin First Class Medal?"
Charlie took out a box from the glass cabinet, opened it, and found that it was not Slytherin's locket, but a medal.
"That was the medal awarded by the Ministry of Magic to reward my grandfather for contributing a large amount of gold to him!"
Seeing this, Sirius, who was helping to find the locket, shrugged and explained.
"It seems the Ministry of Magic has always been so corrupt!"
Charlie smiled and continued to search in the glass cabinet.
After flicking away a biting silver rhinitis box and a crawling multi-legged tweezers, Charlie finally found Voldemort's Horcrux and Slytherin's locket in a locked souvenir box.
Returning to the hall on the first floor again, Sirius held Slytherin's locket and looked at Kreacher:
"Why did Regulus betray Voldemort and give away his Horcrux?"
In the memory of Sirius, his younger brother Regulus was a loyal supporter of Voldemort. Later, he may be afraid to quit because Voldemort showed his true colors, so he was killed by Voldemort.
He didn't expect that his younger brother betrayed Voldemort and secretly exchanged his Horcrux.
Kreacher looked at the locket, big tears streaming down his piggy nose and into his gray-toothed mouth:
"The owner, Regulus, is very educated. He has been very kind to Kreacher since he was a child. He knows what the name of the Black family and his noble pure blood mean.
For years, he'd talked about the Dark Lord, the man who had taken wizards out of hiding and in turn ruled over Muggles and Muggle-borns....
At the age of 16, the master Regulus joined the Dark Lord's group.So proud, so proud, so blessed to serve...
Then one day, a year after he joined, Master Regulus came downstairs to see Kreacher in the kitchen.
The master Regulus has always liked Kreacher.Master Regulus said... he said... he said the Dark Lord needed a house-elf.
The host Regulus recommended Kreacher on his own initiative.It was an honor, Master Regulus said, his and Kreacher's.
Kreacher must do whatever the Dark Lord tells him to do...and go back...home."
Under Kreacher's weeping narration, everyone finally knew the whole story.
It was Voldemort who used Kreacher's elven magic and his own black magic to build a cave and hide the Horcrux. Then, in order to keep the secret of the Horcrux, he left Kreacher in the cave as a sacrifice to the corpse.
But Voldemort forgot that house-elves were not affected by the anti-apparition spell, and Kreacher used elf magic directly to return to the family and told Regulus everything.
Regulus learned that Voldemort made Horcruxes, and knew Voldemort's true face, so he made a fake locket and asked Kreacher to take him directly to the cave.
However, he didn't let Kreacher drink the terrible potion, but drank the potion himself, and let Kreacher leave with the real locket. He didn't tell anyone and destroyed it secretly, and he was dragged into the Black Lake by the Yin Corpse and killed.
However, Kreacher exhausted all methods, but couldn't destroy the locket, so he had to hide it in a glass cabinet.
