Hogwarts: I'm a model wizard

Subconsciously, Kyle stretched out his hand to take out the locket.

"Be careful," Sirius warned, "this thing might also be some weird dark magic item."

"Yeah, you're right."

Even so, Kyle took out the locket and gently wiped off the dust on it.

The locket is as big as an egg and heavy. On the front is a gorgeous S, inlaid with many small emeralds, shining dimly under the dim light.

"This is not something from the Black family. I have never seen it before." Sirius came over and said thoughtfully: "They probably bought it from somewhere and threw it away to avoid any curse or black magic on it. .”

"This is not garbage!" A sharp voice came from behind.

It was Kreacher, gasping for air and looking furious, then looking at Sirius and letting out a blood-curdling scream.

"...This is Master Regulus's locket. He asked Kreacher to bring it back!"

"Regulus?" Lupine said, "I remember he seems to be your brother. When you were in school, you didn't like each other and you often quarreled."

"Yes." Sirius lowered his head and said softly: "My stupid brother is too weak in temperament and easily believes in my parents' pure-blood theory. He thinks that people from the Black family are born noble. We always end up because of this. This quarrel ended on bad terms."

"Master Regulus is not a fool!" Kreacher screamed: "He is the mistress's favorite son, much better than Master Sirius."

"I don't need you to remind me!" Sirius yelled irritably: "Everyone said so, but what happened in the end, he died, that stupid idiot...he joined the Death Eaters!"

He gasped for air and said with red eyes:

"Throw it away. This thing is probably also a piece of dark magic, used by Death Eaters to harm people. ☞♦"

"No!" Kreacher screamed, jumping up to grab the locket in Kyle's hand.

This was also the first time he grabbed something in front of Sirius.

But Kyle just raised his hand slightly and dodged.

"I can't give you this," Kyle said.

Kreacher wanted to grab it again, but was stopped sharply.

"Stand there, don't move!" Sirius said.

Kreacher did not dare to disobey a direct order, but when he raised his head, the look he gave Sirius was filled with unforgettable hatred.

At this time, Lupine, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked: "Do you know what this is?"

"I know." Kyle didn't hide anything this time and said directly: "You should have heard of this... Slytherin's locket."

"What?"

There was a brief silence in the room.

After reacting, Lupine took a sharp breath, his face filled with disbelief.

"Wait a minute, you're talking about the Slytherin in school, right?"

"Yes, it's Salazar Slytherin." Kelmore stroked the emerald on the locket, "It's just like the legendary Gryffindor sword."

"Wait a minute..." Sirius was still a little dazed, "Let me think about it. Slytherin's locket... was in Regulus's hands... and was eventually put into the Black family's house. ☜

"Kyle, you must be joking, right? Or this is simply a fake... Although I left this family when I was sixteen, I know very well that Black and Slytherin have absolutely nothing to do with each other."

Lupine's performance was similar. He felt that Regulus should have imitated it because he admired Slytherin too much.

"I don't know if the locket is real or fake, but I still know its other name."

"Another name? What do you mean?"

"Lupine...Mr." Kyle asked: "I think you should have heard of the Chamber of Secrets in Hogwarts."

"Of course, I have heard about it, but not in detail. The professors are not willing to say more."

Lupine said, "It is said to be related to the mysterious man."

"That's right, because of a diary that he left behind when he was in school. It caused trouble in the castle and almost caused Hogwarts to close down the school."

Kyle held up the locket, "This thing gives me the same feeling as that diary back then."

…

Silence fell in the room again, and this time it lasted longer.

Lupine and Sirius were both trying to digest this answer, and their first reactions were surprisingly consistent. They both felt that Kyle had made a mistake.

But through such long-term contact, they knew very well that Kyle was not the kind of person who was aimless.

"But why." Sirius' voice was dry, "You-Know-Who's things will go into the hands of Regulus. As far as I know, he is not as trusted as Malfoy and Lestrange."

"You have to ask him about this." Kyle did not explain, but looked at Kreacher who was shaking beside him.

"Tell me why this thing is here." Sirius asked in a deep voice: "What does Regulus have to do with it."

The elf seemed to have thought of something terrible. His body shook again and he curled up into a ball. When he spoke, his voice was low and muffled.

"Master Sirius ran away. It was better to leave because he is a bad boy, but Master Regulus has self-respect. He knows what the name Black and his pure blood mean... In order to stop wizards from hiding , so when he was sixteen years old, he joined the Dark Lord's organization. He was so proud at the time..."

"A year later, one day Master Regulus came to the kitchen to visit Kreacher. He said that the Dark Lord needed an elf... He contributed to Kreacher. This was an honor, an honor for himself and Kreacher... …”

Kreacher's voice was choked, and he told intermittently how he was taken into a cave by Voldemort, and how he was forced to drink the potion in the stone basin...

"He threw a locket into the empty basin and filled the basin with potion...Then the Dark Lord boarded the boat and left, leaving Kreacher on the island..."

"Kreacher felt very uncomfortable and wanted to go to the lake to drink water...Many hands stretched out from the water, trying to drag Kreacher down..."

"Then how did you escape?" Sirius asked.

The elf raised his ugly head, "Master Regulus said that Kreacher should go home."

"What happens after that?" Sirius' voice became much softer, "Why does this thing appear here?"

"Kreacher told Master Regulus what happened... hoping to get praise... but he didn't.

"Master Regulus was very worried, and he asked Kreacher to hide... After a while, Master Regulus asked Kreacher to take him to the cave, the same cave where Kreacher and the Dark Lord went."

"He made you drink the potion too?" Sirius said disgustedly.

Kreacher shook his head. He didn't know when he had burst into tears, and tears were flowing down his long nose.

Sirius's heart tightened, as if he had guessed something.

"Master Regulus took a locket from his pocket, the same as the Dark Lord's... He asked Kreacher to hold it... wait for the stone basin to dry... and change the locket..."

Kreacher's cries became louder and louder.

"He ordered Kreacher to go home...not to tell anyone about it...but to find a way to destroy the first locket...and then he drank...drank the potion...Kreacher watched helplessly. With that... Master Regulus... was dragged underwater... and then..."

"boom!"

Sirius smashed the glass cabinet next to him with one punch, then he lifted Kreacher by the neck and roared like an angry beast:

"You just look at it like this? Why don't you save him? You can obviously bring him back!"

Lupine stepped forward quickly, trying to pull him away, "Calm down Padfoot and listen to what he has to say."

But Sirius's hand was like a soldering iron, and he couldn't break it.

"Kreacher cannot... Master Regulus ordered Kreacher not to move... He ordered Kreacher not to move..."

The elf burst into tears, and even though Sirius was grabbing his neck, he still beat his head hard with his fists.

"Kreacher is useless. Kreacher was unable to destroy the box and failed to carry out the master's orders!"
