Chapter 852: Hogwarts Study Panel, Chapter 368
He shrieked, bright red blood flowing beside his ear.
"Young Master Regulus! Young Master Regulus!"
He cried for help, suddenly looking up, seeming to finally come to his senses, and began to crawl frantically toward the corpse, then cried earth-shakingly.
Sirius could not bear to look, and turned his head away.
Xiang Xien also lowered his eyes.
"Mr. Kreacher."
Xiang Xien said, and took out a locket.
As soon as Kreacher saw this locket, he began to tremble uncontrollably; Xiang Xien gently untied the rope binding him and placed the locket in his hands.
"I have learned the secret in the cave, and I will destroy that locket immediately—I am sorry for taking it from this house—Mr. Regulus Black's long-cherished wish, I will fulfill.
If you are willing to believe me, you can know that I have destroyed many such objects; the newspapers have reported it many times."
Kreacher could read newspapers; some recent "Daily Prophets" were placed in the living room just now.
"You, you, you are..."
Kreacher's eyes could not see clearly.
Xiang Xien silently took out a notebook with a large hole torn through it, and a diadem, letting Kreacher feel the evil aura remaining on them.
"Young Master Green! It is you!
Only you have destroyed such things; the idiots in the newspapers don't know what they are, but Kreacher knows.
That is what Young Master Regulus wanted to destroy until the very end... Kreacher has thought about it for so long, Kreacher knows those things, Kreacher, Kreacher, Kreacher believes you... you even brought back Young Master Regulus..."
The small house-elf was again crying until he was out of breath.
"What are you talking about? Kreacher?"
Sirius could not sit still, and asked impatiently.
"Kreacher made a mistake, Kreacher failed to carry out Young Master Regulus's orders!"
Kreacher shouted hoarsely, rushing toward the poker standing by the fireplace.
"Wei Er, control him."
Xiang Xien said immediately.
"My master told you not to move!"
Wei Er shouted, pouncing on Kreacher, pinning him down and controlling him firmly.
"This is not your mistake, Mr. Kreacher; only very few wizards know how to destroy them."
Xiang Xien said slowly.
"What on earth are you talking about?"
Sirius was completely frantic.
"Kreacher is speaking."
Kreacher responded instinctively to Sirius, and then said to the carpet again,
"The young master is a hateful, ungrateful, low-down scoundrel who broke his mother's heart—"
"My mother had no heart, Kreacher,"
Sirius said angrily,
"She lived entirely on spite."
Kreacher bowed again while speaking.
"No matter what the young master says,"
He muttered indignantly,
"The young master isn't even fit to wipe his mother's shoes; my poor mistress, what would she say if she saw Kreacher serving the young master?
How the mistress hated him, how disappointing he is—and now he's a murderer—"
"If you keep rambling, I really will kill someone!"
Sirius was deranged.
Kreacher shrank toward Xiang Xien's direction as if afraid.
"Now, Mr. Kreacher, can you tell us the story about Mr. Regulus?
In return, I will return this locket."
Xiang Xien said, seeing Kreacher unable to stop tears from flowing again.
At this moment, the sky was dim, and the Leaky Cauldron was exceptionally deserted.
"Young Master Regulus, Young Master Regulus, Kreacher thought he would never see him again, but he has come home, it's just that Kreacher can no longer wake him up...
He thought his great deeds would be forgotten, but look, Kreacher remembers, and now there is another gentleman, just don't know if he is a Mudblood..."
Kreacher sat up, curled into a ball, tucked his damp face between his knees, and began to rock back and forth.
When he began to speak, his voice was low and muffled, but it was quite clear in the quiet, echoing room. ===== CHAPTER 853 =====
