a certain scientific harry potter

Out of admiration for Voldemort, Regulus Black became a Death Eater at the age of 16, but as he grew up, he gradually began to have doubts about Voldemort and his own pursuit, but he didn't think about it in his heart. The idea of ​​wanting to quit came up.

However, one day later, in order to test his mechanism for hiding the Horcrux, Voldemort asked Regulus to 'borrow' a house-elf, that is, Kreacher.

Voldemort took Kreacher to the cave where he hid the Horcrux, and arranged a series of mechanisms that, in Harry's opinion, were purely taking off his pants and farting.

There is a lake in the cave where the Horcrux is hidden. Voldemort first placed a spelled boat in the lake to ensure that it could only carry one adult wizard to the center of the lake at a time.

And on the small island in the middle of the lake, he placed a stone basin, and put Slytherin's locket on the bottom of the basin, and then filled the basin with a kind of one he refined, drinking it will kill A potion that makes one extremely thirsty.

At the same time, he also arranged a barrier barrier outside the basin to ensure that the wizard's hands could not touch the liquid; at the same time, the liquid could not be divided, scooped up or drained, nor could it be made to disappear or into something else...

In a word, this thing can only rely on drinking.

As long as you drink up all the potion, you will be able to temporarily see the locket in the basin... and the reason for this is temporarily because the potion will be refilled, and it will be full again after a while.

As the final end of this mechanism, Voldemort arranged countless corpses in the lake, and at the same time planted a series of spells such as anti-apparition and anti-clear water in the cave.

In this way, when the person who wants to take away the locket is burned by Voldemort's potion, he can only drink the water in the lake, and in the end he will be dragged into the lake by the corpse of course. In the water, he died without any suspense.

How should I put it, Harry's evaluation of Voldemort's series of institutions is only two words.

hehe~

To be honest, these agency restrictions are really the same as those novels Harry read in his previous life.

To put it simply, when the author wants to write a certain character to death, but he really can't do it, he forces a series of settings to restrict a certain death plot.

Regulus, that's how he died.

Voldemort made Kreacher drink the potion, and then left the elf on the island to fend for himself. However, Kreacher kept in mind Regulus' order to let him go home, and still activated when he was dragged by the corpse. Apparated, and finally managed to escape.

As for that naive Dark Lord, he never cared about the power of house-elves, so naturally he knew nothing about it.

After Kreacher returned home, he told Regulus about the incident, which made the second son of the Black family completely firm in his determination to resist Voldemort.

So he made a fake locket, went to that cave with Kreacher, and wanted to drop the Horcrux...

But in the end he died there.

Chapter 430 Regulus Didn't Need to Die

"Master Regulus...he ordered Kreacher to replace the two lockets after the stone basin dries up...then he just... woo!"

From here on, Kreacher's sobs became rougher and harsher, and Harry and the others listened quietly, waiting for him to narrate the ending of Regulus intermittently.

"He... he drank all the poison, Klee cut and changed the box... Kreacher, couldn't move... just watched Master Regulus go to drink water, and then... was dragged under the water, was..."

"Poor Kreacher!"

Hermione cried out in distress. She knelt beside the elf and wanted to give it a hug, but the elf disobeyed orders and stayed away from her contact.

"Oh, no! Dirty mud... um!" Kreacher stared at Hermione in disgust, but before he could utter a bad word, Harry immediately silenced his voice.

"Kreacher!"

Sirius stared at this, but the house elf was already punishing himself crazily. It kept hitting the floor with its head and even its whole body, almost wanting to smash itself into a puddle of mud.

"Stop him... stop him!" cried Hermione anxiously. "The way he punished himself is simply too cruel!"

"Kreacher, stop..."

Seeing this, Sirius called Kreacher to stop his self-harm behavior in a hoarse voice. His face at the moment was full of disbelief, and at the same time, there was a deep sense of regret and sadness.

My younger brother, Regulus Black, he always thought of him as a nasty idiot, always obeyed his parents easily, and even became a member of the Death Eaters...

It was the same when they were in school, they were clearly two brothers, but their relationship was incompatible... Especially after he was sorted into Gryffindor, the relationship between the two brothers went from bad to worse.

But today he suddenly discovered that the other party was actually a hero... and a hero who had fooled Voldemort!

this kind of thing...

He looked at Kreacher who was collapsed on the floor, he was trembling all over, panting heavily, with blood, snot and tears all mixed on his face, it was extremely miserable.

Sirius didn't blame Kreacher.

No matter how ignorant and unacceptable the reality was, he still couldn't afford to argue with a slave.

House-elves are perverted, servile creatures who don't even consider the rationale of their master's orders... like Kreacher, if Regulus ordered him to stay aside, he would really remain motionless .

Then, amidst the desperation in his eyes...witnessing the death of his master himself!

It was a really sad fact, and it wasn't just Sirius who felt that way... Harry too.

Regulus Black, without a doubt, was a brave and kind wizard.

When he discovered that Voldemort was just using their pure-blood families, he chose to stand up and resist bravely, and even stole one of Voldemort's Horcruxes, even if he paid the price of his life for it.

He loved Kreacher very much, and when he almost lost Kreacher because of Voldemort, he decided to fight without hesitation...Even at the last moment, he chose to drink the potion himself to save the living The opportunity was left to Kreacher.

Very tragic story, but also quite emotional...

It's just that in Harry's opinion, Regulus didn't have to die.

In fact, as long as he gave an order to make Kreacher grab him all the time, and immediately apparated after replacing the locket, he could completely get rid of the ending of being dragged into the water by the necromancer.

After that kind of potion is completely drunk, it will take at least a few minutes to make people completely lose their minds by relying on thirst, and it is completely in time to escape.

And if it is said that Regulus chose to die voluntarily in order to protect the Black family... This kind of speculation is indeed admirable, but if you analyze it rationally, you will find that it is not realistic.

Because Regulus was clearly defined as a 'Death Eater traitor' after his death.

Given the narrow-mindedness of Voldemort and his group of neurotics, once they find out that Regulus has betrayed, not only will he die, but the entire Black family will inevitably suffer brutal retaliation.

Think of Pettigrew who disguised himself as a mouse and hid for 12 years. What happened to him is a living example!

Of course, the fact that Regulus betrayed the Death Eaters was probably a lie made up by Kreacher to deceive Sirius, and the Death Eaters themselves didn't know about it.

But in this way, another question arose... Why did Regulus have to replace it with a fake Horcrux?

If he really wanted to get rid of the relationship between the theft of the Horcrux and himself and the Black family, in fact, the best way was to take the locket and leave without putting anything in the stone basin.

Because the risk of placing a fake Horcrux is too high, what if Voldemort finds time to go back for a check and bite out Regulus with the fake locket?

It would be better to just leave the basin empty, so that even if Voldemort finds out that the Horcrux is missing, he can only be blinded by a smear of black eyes, and Regulus will not be able to get involved at all.

So back to the original question, the reason why Regulus died in the cave, apart from his own willingness to die willingly, may be more due to Kreacher.

This house elf, he really listened to Regulus too much.

Being taken into the cave by Voldemort, drinking the potion, watching Voldemort throw the locket into the basin... Kreacher has experienced everything during this period, and he is fully aware of what will happen after drinking the potion, but he does not Regulus was not told all the details.

Because the way the house elf communicates with its master is what the master asks and what the elf answers, and there is never a process of inference.

Some important details, if Regulus was unlucky enough not to ask, Kreacher might not answer...even if that detail could save his master's life!

What is even more sad is that Kreacher will devote himself to taking advantage of the loopholes of the other party's orders for the master he doesn't like - obviously Sirius, so as to add to the master's obstacles; but if he is facing Regulus The kind of master who cares about him so much, then he will completely lose all subjective initiative, completely like a robot, and regard Regulus' words as the highest order that needs to be 100% executed!

So in the end, Kreacher meticulously chose to stand by and watch his master... die unexpectedly!

He witnessed everything in despair, and suffered for so many years after that, and even his mind was extremely twisted because of it... But in essence, Regulus also died because of him to a large extent.

Because he abides by the creed of the house-elf and loves his master deeply, he will never violate Regulus' orders, not even the slightest bit, even if this violation can give Regulus a chance of survival!

This past event is a tragedy for Regulus, and it is also a tragedy for Kreacher...

However, what caused these tragedies was not simply because of Voldemort, but also because of the servility of the house-elves and their extremely distorted and extremely limited values!

(psHere is a brief statement of my own opinion. The fake locket left by Regulus contained a note. He himself was not sure at the time whether Voldemort would look back and leave such a thing behind. It's different from being provocative and self-destructing.

So let's put it this way, he let Kreacher keep his parents a secret, maybe for the protection of the family, but his 'suicide' behavior should not be.

San Meow is more inclined here. Regulus didn't ask about the specific performance after drinking the potion, so Kreacher didn't say anything. Then Regulus felt that he was bound to die because of the information asymmetry, which made Kreacher Watch from a distance and don't move.

To put it bluntly, Kreacher is different from Dobby. When facing Regulus, he will not actively think about any problems.Because in his opinion, love for the master should be unconditional obedience...

So it's a pity, above~)

Chapter 430 IX

The story told by Kreacher ended, and everyone in the living room of No. 12 Grimmauld Place looked extremely heavy.

Regulus, he was only then, but he left his young life at the bottom of that dark lake...

Sirius' breathing became heavier, his eyes gradually turned blood red, and a trace of uncontrollable ferocity appeared on his face!

"Harry, do you have any medicine that can quickly recover from the injury?" Sirius turned to Harry suddenly, "If you can, help me heal Kreacher."

If it had been changed before, Sirius would most likely not have cared about Kreacher's injury, but he had just finished listening to the other party's story, and at the moment he was immersed in the memory of Regulus, so he didn't want to hurt Kreacher any more. This servant who is loyal to his younger brother.

Even though... Sirius is still full of disgust towards Kreacher.

"No problem." Harry nodded immediately upon hearing this, and then took out a series of medicines from the ring, both for internal and external use, and forcibly used them on Kreacher.

But when he was doing this, Kreacher was always quite uncooperative, not only his lips were tightly closed, but his body was always writhing.

Seeing him like this, Harry simply didn't bother to ask Sirius to order him again, but directly dumped the elf and turned them all into petrification.

"Harry...he is really pitiful, I think we should be more lenient to him." Seeing this, Hermione seemed a little bit unbearable.

"Hermione, you have also seen that he is very hostile to me, and he is not willing to cooperate with my treatment, and he will not listen to what I say." Harry sighed helplessly when he heard the words, but his expression changed Seriously, "Right now, like my godfather, I need Kreacher's help very much, so I can only cure him as quickly as possible."

Harry knew Sirius very well, and he knew that Sirius was the kind of guy who would completely lose his ability to think once he recognized the truth of death, and he had to do something right away no matter what...

To put it bluntly, it is reckless.

And on Sirius' forehead at this moment, the words 'I want to look for the dead body' are clearly written in big characters.

Harry absolutely raised his hands and feet to express his approval of Sirius' appeal. After all, Regulus is his own brother, and he has been soaking in the dark lake for more than ten years now. Of course, he must go to him immediately. body was recovered.

So Harry worked even harder to treat Kreacher, even completely ignoring the 'impediments' of his own body, and finally sat down on the ground with exhaustion, even more 'sweat' oozing from his forehead.

"Harry, what's the matter with you?" Sirius couldn't help being anxious when he saw this, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked with concern.

And Hermione, who was close at hand, jumped to Harry's side even more worriedly, examining his body carefully.

"I'm fine, you don't have to worry, I just got a little bit of a dark wound when I removed Voldemort's soul fragment just now, it's fine."

Harry hugged Hermione in relief, but with a weak and righteous expression on his face, he said as if he was pulling himself together: "Godfather, I'm really fine... When Kreacher rests, we will Let's go immediately! That's your younger brother, no matter what, I will help you bring him back!"

"Harry, what are you kidding?" Sirius stared and refused, "Since there is something wrong with your body, why did you insist on not talking about it just now? Besides, this is my own business, which should have been I took Kreacher with me, why are you going with me to join in the fun? Hermione, you take this kid back to the room to recuperate immediately, and you stay here to watch them, Moonface."

Hearing that Harry was in poor health, Sirius couldn't help himself immediately, but Lupine beside him raised his eyebrows thoughtfully.

Things are a little strange.

Harry was injured while removing the horcrux fragments, which is of course very likely true; but he didn't say it sooner or later, he just said when Sirius' temper exploded and he was about to act impulsively. It's a bit intriguing.

"No! We can't drag on any longer!" Hearing that Sirius wouldn't let him follow, Harry seemed to lose his temper, "Regulus is a real hero, how can I continue to let him stay in the dark place?" What about the bottom of the lake? And there are ghost corpses everywhere, you can't handle it by yourself, and you may get stuck if you are not careful! Only by relying on my ability can we have a chance to bring Regulus home! "

"This..." Hearing Harry's words, Sirius fell into obvious hesitation.

In Kreacher's description, the bottom of the great lake is covered with densely packed corpses, the number of which is unknown... To find the corpse of his brother under such circumstances, the difficulty is probably not much easier than finding a needle in a haystack .

But if he brought Harry with him, relying on his special water magic would undoubtedly make his actions more secure.

However, Harry was injured just now, so how could he...

"Godfather, don't hesitate!" Seeing the hesitant look on Sirius' face, Harry even made a look of indifference, "Nothing is more important than finding Regulus now! I think Kreacher has almost rested, so let's set off right away...Anyway, Godric's Hollow, Lovegood's house and the like behind are not important trips, so we might as well just push it off."

...

The situation in the living room was very strange now. Sirius obviously wanted to act impulsively, but the more eager Harry was, the harder it was for him to make up his mind.

Is it really appropriate for me to rush over so impulsively?

The Horcrux Cave is full of dangers, and Harry's follower can undoubtedly guarantee the maximum success rate... But do I have to be in a hurry to let Harry put aside all his important things and go on an adventure with me?

And...with him still injured?

I have no ability at all, pointing at my godson in everything, and always causing trouble for him... As a godfather, it's too bad for me to be a godfather, right?

"Padfoot, I think it's better to have a long-term plan for this matter." Lupine saw the opportunity at this time, and went straight forward to persuade him, "What we have to face is the trap set by Voldemort, so it is really a pity to go directly like this." It's too hasty. Besides, Harry is not only injured, but also has a lot of things to accomplish during this holiday, so there is really no spare time. In my opinion, we might as well wait until the summer vacation, when everyone is fully prepared. and we can also tell the matter to Principal Dumbledore, he will definitely be willing to help after he knows about Regulus."

Although he was patiently persuading Sirius, Lupine had been watching Harry quietly all the time, and at the same time couldn't help admiring Harry in his heart.

Lupine knew all too well about his old friend's temper, and at first he really thought that no one in the room could stop the stubborn ass Sirius.

But he didn't expect Harry to play a game of advancing and retreating, and spilled all the spills that Sirius wanted to spill in advance, which made Sirius hesitate, and finally chose to give up on his own initiative.
