Chapter 489: Horcruxes and Whereabouts and the Past
Seeing that Harry still didn't quite understand, Sirius explained it to him. Watermark Ad Test Watermark Ad Test
"Now that you've seen my mother, I'm sure you'll be able to see something. My parents were staunch supporters of the pedigree theory, madly obsessed with purebloods, believing that people who were part of the Black family were inherently noble...
This coincides with Voldemort's philosophy, and my foolish brother is probably too weak to believe them, so he joined the ranks of the Death Eaters..."
"And then? How is he? Harry asked curiously.
"Dead!" Sirius's words revealed a sarcasm, "Not killed by the Aurors in battle, but by Voldemort." Of course, it's also possible that Voldemort instructed someone to kill him! ”
Harry was surprised, very puzzled, why did Voldemort kill his subordinates?
Sirius saw Harry's confusion and continued.
"I don't know exactly why, but I suspect he probably started out of wanting to please his parents and didn't realize how cruel it was.
When Voldemort gradually revealed his ambitions, he wanted to quit, but he was already too deep! You can't expect to hand Voldemort a resignation report and be done. Either die for life, or die..."
Harry fell silent, not replying for a long time.
Kreacher, who was in the audience, tried to say something, but stopped talking, and finally muttered quietly, but this time even the few people who were very close could not hear clearly.
Ivan, who also knew the cause and effect, did not speak up, because he could not explain how he learned about Regulus, and rashly stating the truth could easily arouse suspicion.
All I can hope for is to find the Horcruxes and let Kreacher tell the story himself!
After such a small episode, and the fact that it was getting late, everyone had no idea of cleaning the house, so they each picked a room on the second floor that had been cleaned up and made do with it.
Ivan did not leave, but found Kreacher alone after everyone left.
"Kreacher!"
"Sir, is there something going on?" This old house-elf looked a little sullen, no longer as arrogant as before, and his eyes were still a little moist, as if he had secretly cried...
"I've just heard Sirius say a lot about Regulus and I'm interested in him, can you tell me about him?" Ivan asked.
Perhaps this was too abrupt, Ivan added.
"I don't mean anything, it's just that when I saw Sirius introducing his brother, you seemed to be very dissatisfied, and seemed to have a different opinion, I wonder if there was some misunderstanding in this..."
Kreacher stared at Ivan with his bulb-sized eyes, and finally walked away without saying anything.
Ivan understood that the other party did not trust him, so he sighed helplessly and said comfortingly.
"It's okay if you don't trust me, you can go and tell Sirius that he still cares about this brother..."
Although Sirius's words were full of ridicule and disdain for this younger brother, Ivan could still hear Sirius's concern for Regulus, probably just hating iron and steel...
Kreacher shuddered, but instead of looking back, snapped his fingers and disappeared into place.
Ivan shook his head, not knowing if the other party had listened.
The next morning, Ivan yawned and washed up, and then went to the living room to enjoy today's breakfast.
Harry, Lupin, and Sirius had been waiting there for a long time, and he was the last to arrive.
"Ivan, how was your rest last night? Still adapting? Sirius asked with a smile.
"It's good, it's the first time I've lived in such a big mansion!" Ivan joked and sat down.
"The habit of living is good, you are always welcome to come in the future! Anyway, let's eat first, and I'll take you to the Black family's library later. Sirius clapped his palms.
Old Kreacher, who was holding the plate, suddenly appeared in front of everyone, and walked up to everyone with his head down and put the plates down one by one.
Breakfast is a bit simple compared to the luxurious decoration, with only a few bowls of porridge and a few pieces of bread on it, and some potato chips...
Sirius was furious, believing that Kreacher was deliberately snubbing his friends.
Luckily, Harry persuaded him so that Kreacher wouldn't be scolded...
Of course, the house-elf didn't care about abuse or punishment at all, and it still went about its own thing.
However, as he passed by Ivan to put down his plate, Kreacher suddenly stopped, hesitated, and whispered.
"You can go to the kitchen cupboard and have a look!"
Ivan turned his head to look at it in astonishment, but Kreacher reverted back to his old form, standing hunched over in the corner of the living room, not saying a word.
Seeing this, Ivan extinguished the idea of asking again, and since Kreacher said so, he would go there and see for himself.
After breakfast, Ivan rejected Sirius' offer to go to the library area, and although he had come under the pretext of viewing the library, the most important thing now was to find the whereabouts of the Horcruxes.
So Ivan planned to follow Kreacher's words and go into the kitchen to find out if there was something that had been missed in the previous cleaning.
"Why? Did Kreacher just tell you something? ”
Sirius was very surprised by Ivan's decision, and of course he noticed that Ivan was looking at Kreacher frequently during the meal, and it was obvious that they were hiding something from him.
Ivan hesitated, then repeated the remarks he had made with Kreacher last night, and continued.
"Kreacher told me to look for it in the kitchen cupboard, maybe your brother left a letter or something before he died."
Sirius burst into anger when he heard this, glaring at the house-elf standing in the corner and scolding angrily.
"How dare you... How dare you hide such an important thing from me! Regulus, how the hell did he die! How much more do you have left to tell me, and I command you to tell me everything you know! ”
Sirius was furious, he hadn't seen his brother since he ran away from home, and everything was learned after the fact...
And now that he had discovered that Kreacher knew something, that he had been hiding himself for so many days, and that it was even possible that he had hidden Regulus's letters or relics, how could he not be angry.
