Chapter 767: Kreacher's Story
Fish's plan is very feasible. Not only Sirius, but also Dumbledore approves of this plan.
After all, no matter how confident he was in his speculations, and with the bonus of Felixir, the situation between Harry and Voldemort had never happened before, so if Fish could be given an extra layer of insurance, Dumbledore would Liduo will naturally not refuse, but will only wait for more than ten years.
If Fish's resurrection spell recovers quickly enough, Dumbledore and the Order of the Phoenix can even take the initiative to resurrect Voldemort.
It's just that Harry's mood is a little strange...
Of course it's good that he doesn't have to die for the time being, but he just prepared to sacrifice impassionedly, and Fish came up with a very safe solution. Doesn't this make him look stupid?
Harry habitually touched the scar on his forehead and shook his head in confusion.
No matter what, it wasn't like this happening once or twice anyway, he was used to it.
"Before that, we still need to solve the other two Horcruxes as soon as possible. Let's not mention the big snake named Nagini...Sirius," Dumbledore said solemnly: "The whereabouts of the locket I need to trouble you to go back and search carefully."
"Put it on me!" Sirius vowed: "If the locket is really brought back by Regulus, then that old guy Kreacher must know where it is!"
"Fish wants to go there too, meow!"
(ΦДΦ)
Cat broke free from Professor McGonagall's arms and said before Sirius went to get the door key.
He stared at Sirius, wrinkled his nose and said, "If Fish doesn't get over, Sirius will bully Kreacher again!"
"I don't have time to bully that old guy!" Sirius said with a dark face: "He usually doesn't cause me any trouble, so I'm already thankful to God!"
Sirius wasn't lying. Although there was such a house elf in his family, except for asking Kreacher to do some tedious housework, he basically didn't interact with him, and Kreacher was happy not to serve Sirius. This "evil son" of the Black family rarely gets in front of Sirius.
And because of Fei Xu's existence, although the master and servant dislike each other, they are not as tit-for-tat and slanderous as they were at the beginning.
In fact, under normal circumstances, Sirius would still be happy for Fish to visit his home, but if Maomao misunderstood him and went out of his way to speak to Kreacher, then he would not be very welcoming.
His attitude made Fish even more uneasy, so Maomao insisted on following Sirius.
"Just take Fish there," Dumbledore advised: "With him here, it will be easier for Kreacher to cooperate."
Sirius thought so and stopped refusing, but the expression on his face was still a little unhappy.
The two of them grabbed the rusty faucet on the table, and Fish felt as if there was a hook behind his belly button that swung forward with irresistible momentum, and he lifted his feet off the ground and flew up.
His and Sirius's hands were firmly stuck to the faucet, and they flew forward like a gust of wind, unable to see anything clearly.
After a moment, Fei Xu felt himself stepping on the ground. He instantly grasped the balance of his body and stood firmly.
Sirius was not as calm as Cat. He staggered forward a few steps and barely managed to steady himself. The faucet in his hand fell to the floor with a clang.
"Master Fish! Welcome to the Black family!" Kreacher immediately appeared in front of Maomao and welcomed him loudly. Then he glanced at Sirius with disgust, "You are back alive too. Ah, Master."
The tone was full of regret.
Sirius had long been accustomed to Kreacher's attitude. He was too lazy to talk nonsense and said straight to the point: "Kreacher, I have something to ask you!" He stared at the old house elf closely and said every word. He paused and asked, "Is there a gold locket at home? Regulus brought it back."
Then he saw Kreacher's tennis ball-like eyes suddenly widen, and the bloodshot eyes seemed to become more obvious.
"No! No! Kreacher doesn't know anything!" The elf screamed and was about to hit his head on a metal decoration placed next to him. Looking at his ferocious posture, he might have been killed by hitting his head on it. The idea above.
"Don't move!" Sirius yelled.
Kreacher, who was hitting the sharp part of the metal decoration, could only stop abruptly and fell straight to the floor like a wooden stake.
Fish looked at Kreacher, then at Sirius, opened his mouth, and finally said nothing, just watching silently.
"I order you to answer my questions truthfully!" Sirius gasped and said viciously. He didn't even understand why he was so angry.
"You can't say it! Kreacher can't say it!" The house elf got up from the ground, holding his head and shaking it wildly, while shouting at the top of his lungs: "Master Regulus...Master Regulus doesn't allow Kreacher to Tell his family! Especially the hostess!”
Kreacher's withered chest rose and fell sharply, as if he had used up all his strength to shout out these words, and then he stuffed the fingers of both hands into his mouth and started biting hard.
"Stop! I order you not to hurt yourself again!"
Sirius never thought that he would actually give such an order to Kreacher. After stopping Kreacher from continuing to harm himself, he took out the fake locket and parchment.
"I already know what Regulus did," he said hoarsely as he gently put the locket and parchment into Kreacher's hands: "What I want to know now is, that Where is the real locket? Have you destroyed it?"
Kreacher looked at Sirius in disbelief, and then at the familiar locket in his hand. Then he opened the parchment and confirmed that the writing on it indeed belonged to Regulus...
Finally, the house elf couldn't help but burst into tears. Tears poured out of Kreacher's sunken eye sockets and flowed down his long nose into his open mouth.
"Master Regulus! Kreacher...Kreacher failed to carry out your order!" Kreacher seemed to want to punish himself again, but because of Sirius' previous order, his thoughts and actions conflicted, causing two legs They stumbled together and fell back to the floor with a thud.
"What do you mean by that?" Sirius asked anxiously, "Did you lose that locket?"
"No!" Kreacher screamed and retorted: "That locket was forcibly thrown away by the young master and the scum Weasley, and it was Kreacher who picked it up again!"
Sirius was immediately relieved, but also a little embarrassed. If it weren't for Kreacher, Voldemort's Horcrux would have been thrown away by him unintentionally.
"Master Regulus once told Kreacher to destroy the locket, but Kreacher couldn't leave any trace on it." The elf sobbed and explained: "Kreacher tried everything. There are many ways, all the ways, but none of them are successful... There are so many powerful magics on the box. Kreacher believes that it can only be destroyed from the inside, but it cannot be opened... Kreacher punishes himself and tries again. , punished himself, and tried again. Kreacher failed to execute the order, and Kreacher could not destroy the locket!"
He sadly grabbed his big bat-like ears and tried to tear them apart, but failed again because of Sirius's order.
"Give me the locket, and we will destroy it." Sirius said solemnly: "In addition, I already know the general outline of the matter, so you can now take Regulus back to the locket, and the process in between. Tell me all the details, and I will get Regulus the honor he deserves!"
"Yes! Master Sirius!"
It was also the first time that Kreacher addressed Sirius with such respect. After bowing deeply, he disappeared and reappeared in an instant, handing the real locket to Sirius.
Then, Fish and Sirius quietly listened to Kreacher's story, and then they realized that when Voldemort was hiding the locket, it was Kreacher who was responsible for drinking the potions, and it was precisely because of this that Regulus Knowing the existence of the Horcrux, he sacrificed his young life to replace the Horcrux.
"Sirius, are you okay, meow?"
(ω)
Fish first went to comfort Kreacher, who was whimpering, and then turned back to pat Sirius, who felt heavy after hearing the whole story.
"I'm fine..." Sirius forced a smile and said to Maomao: "You can take the Horcrux back to Dumbledore first, and let me have some peace and quiet."
"Then Feishu is leaving first."
Maomao stuffed the real Slytherin locket into his pocket, and then picked up the faucet door key that was thrown on the ground.
After another fast flight, Fish returned to the principal's office at Hogwarts.
After Fish left, Sirius slowly walked up to Mrs. Black's portrait, ignored her harsh curses, and said calmly: "I have something to talk to you about, mother... it's related Regulus’s…”

In my opinion, Sirius just "hasn't grown up". Even if he has been in prison for more than ten years, he is still immature. This can be seen from his positioning of Harry as more of a "playmate" than a "godson" .
I even think that his dislike of the Black family is not entirely because he thinks there is something wrong with the concept of pure blood, but partly because of his own rebellion.
This can also be seen from his friendships. Potter and Lupine were the best among the students at that time. However, Sirius had always despised Wormtail and did not regard him as a student at all. My friend, I usually enjoy bullying those mediocre students.
This behavior pattern is actually not much different from Slytherin, it's just that Sirius doesn't value blood.
Of course, he still had some changes after he became an adult. After all, he risked his life to fight against Voldemort. It is impossible to say that he was just rebellious and had no sense of justice in his heart.
But overall, his behavior is still very immature, not even as good as Harry's. He feels similar to Ron in fifth and sixth grade, and he can't compare to Ron who was strengthened by the epic level in seventh grade.

Today I forgot to add water to Zhongyuan again, and then I went out for a whole day. When I came back in the evening, I saw Zhongyuan squatting at the door waiting for me when I opened the door.
I was happy for a moment, and then I saw Zhongyuan running to the water bowl and starting to meow. After adding water to it, it disappeared somewhere...
