The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 637 The brightest star in the night sky

Even being held in mid-air by Sirius, the house-elf Kreacher is still struggling and wants to keep killing himself.Because he disobeyed the orders from his master and refused to carry them out.

Helpless, Sirius had to force Kreacher to stop, and the house-elf finally calmed down, no longer holding back his energy to kill himself.

Seeing that hard things won't work, so I can only use soft things. Ida doesn't believe that she can't cure a house elf!

Signaling Sirius to put Kreacher down, when the house-elf's feet returned to the ground, Ada said, "I know the origin of that locket, your Master Regulus should really want to destroy it, right? "

Ada's question hit the nail on the head, and Kreacher instantly widened her bloodshot eyes, while Ada continued to increase her intensity. She mentioned the shape of the Slytherin locket.

The locket had appeared in the memory of Bob Ogden, a Ministry of Magic official, and also appeared in the memory of the house-elf Hotkey, and Ida remembered it very well.

Ada told Kreacher that she wanted the house elf to understand that she didn't want to rob, but really wanted to help Regulus.

"Locket, Master Regulus' locket..." Kreacher whispered in a hoarse voice, with tears streaming from his tennis-ball-sized eyes.

Then, Kreacher rushed to the wall like crazy again, hitting his head against the wall with a bang.

He bumped and said, "Kreacher made a mistake, Kreacher didn't fulfill Master Regulus' order!"

"Kreacher, I order you to hold still, stop!" Sirius yelled.

The roar overwhelmed the pounding of his head against the wall, and Kreacher also stopped his self-harm behavior again amidst the command. The frozen elf stood there helplessly, tears filled his sunken eye sockets.

Without Kreacher looking for life and death, the room suddenly became quiet, and Ada and Sirius looked at each other.

What Ada means is: they are also the young masters of the Black family, look at Regulus, and then look at you, why is there such a big gap between them!
What Sirius wants to express is: What does your contemptuous eyes mean?What the hell is this locket?How did Regulus die?Also, why are there so many questions in my head?
"I can help you, and I can help Regulus," Ada said, "I have the ability to help you destroy the locket."

The house-elf, in agony, curled up in a corner.When he heard that the locket could be destroyed, Kreacher raised his head and looked at Ida. Although there was distrust in his bloodshot eyes, there was a light called hope flashing.

"I said," said Sirius with a confused face, "you, and this little elf, who can explain to me what is going on with Regulus. I don't understand at all!"

In fact, Ada doesn't know the specific situation. Only those who have experienced it can know what happened back then.The only thing that can be confirmed is that Regulus is RAB, and he took the locket hidden in the cave at the cost of his own life.

Seeing Sirius looking at her all the time, Ada winked at him and asked him to ask Kreacher.

Sirius suddenly understood and asked immediately, but his attitude was not very good.

Like many wizards, Sirius never saw Kreacher as a creature with the same sensitive emotions as humans.Coupled with Kreacher's loyalty to the Black family, this made Sirius even more disgusted with crazy elves.

Ada didn't say anything, and kicked Sirius directly on the bone of the calf.This time, the big dog almost didn't turn into a sky monkey.

"Be nice!" Ada said. "This is a very painful past for him."

Others can't control the rebellious Sirius, but Ada has saved his life several times, and it happens that he is good at controlling dogs, so Ada can make him a little more obedient.

Sirius scratched his hair irritably, and then said as softly as possible: "Kreacher, can you tell me about Regulus...my brother, what terrible things happened to him?"

Kreacher rubbed his eyes with his fists like a child, as if he had made a decision, he narrated the past events in his hoarse voice like a bullfrog.

Just like Sirius said, Regulus is the pride in the eyes of his parents. He is loyal to the family and pure blood, and he is countless times stronger than his rebellious brother.

Like many pure-blood family members, the young Regulus was also deceived by Voldemort into believing the Dark Lord's pure-blood claims.

When he was 16 years old, Regulus became a "glorious" Death Eater as he wished.For Regulus, this was a wonderful beginning, but this beauty could not continue.

After joining the Death Eaters, Regulus saw more cruel truths, which made him realize that his beliefs were completely wrong.

When Voldemort used the house-elf Kreacher to test his magic, Regulus could no longer sit idly by, and he changed his mind to fight the Dark Lord in his own way.

With the help of Kreacher, Regulus successfully arrived at the cave. Instead of letting his servant take the poison, he chose to drink it himself, leaving the chance of survival to his servant.

Perhaps, Regulus didn't regard Kreacher as a servant.

In the end, Regulus was dragged to the bottom of the icy lake by the Inferi, and his young life withered.All he left behind was a suicide note in a replica of the Slytherin locket, signed RAB
Kreacher huddled against the wall while wailing "Master Regulus", while scolding himself for being incompetent and failing to complete "Master's order".The house-elf wailed, and the tears ran down the sides of his long nose.

The Black family has a habit of naming family members with constellation stars. For example, Sirius in the name Sirius comes from the constellation Canis Major.

Regulus is the alpha star of Leo, the heart of Leo and the brightest star in Leo. It means "prince" in Latin.

Arcturus comes from Alpha Bootes, the brightest star in the northern hemisphere, and it is often used to tell the direction.The ancient Greeks called it "the most beautiful star among the stars".

Regulus Arcturus Black, a man named after a star.

His mother was "mad with grief" over his death, his brother said he was "in too deep", and he was mentioned only as being killed for cowardly quitting the Death Eaters.

No one knew his tenderness to the house-elves, no one knew his erudition and intelligence, no one knew what pain he went through in the last moment of his life, and no one knew his bravery.

The secret of Voldemort's Horcrux, Regulus Black was the first person to discover it, and the first person to try to destroy Voldemort's Horcrux.He was willing to risk his life, just because Voldemort was only a mortal man of flesh and blood when he met his opponent.

The note in the locket, or rather the suicide note, did not feel any fear and cowardice because the other party was Voldemort. He neatly wrote his name and declared war on the Dark Lord.

If it wasn't for the protection of his family, Ida thought he would have left his own name instead of the abbreviated RAB
"He's Seeker," said the silent Sirius suddenly.In his hand was a photo of Regulus' Quidditch team at school.

"What?" Ada's contemplation was interrupted.

"Like James, he was sitting in the middle of the front row of the team when the photo was taken, which is the position of the Seeker." Sirius' voice was very low, as if he was suppressing his feelings, "I actually forgot. "

In the photo, Regulus has black hair and a somewhat haughty expression. He is very similar to his brother, except that his figure is a little thinner.

Sirius, who was holding the photo, sat blankly by the bed. This was the first time he knew his brother's bravery, and it was also the last time.

Regulus Black, he was a brave Slytherin.
