Bang!
Avada!
What the f***!
Motherf***er!
Asshole!
You motherf***er!
The expressions of the three people who heard this strange sound were a bit stiff...
"They won't be in trouble, will they?" Lupin asked softly.
".... They're probably in trouble!" Kayson enveloped them with his Domain and used Ender Teleportation to get there.
When they arrived, they found the four Little Wizardss and Kreacher at a standoff, standing on opposite sides of a corridor.
"What are you doing? Kreacher, were you rude to my guests!" Sirius roared directly at Kreacher.
"Kreacher wasn't! Kreacher was preventing a few bad lads from stealing Young Master Regulus's Relics!" Kreacher shrieked.
"Oh.... What did he leave behind?" Sirius casually picked at his ear. After all, Regulus's Relics were too numerous to count; more than half of this house could be considered his Relics.
"Kreacher cannot show you!"
"Come on." Sirius, still acting unconcerned, said helplessly, "Let me see!"
Kayson ignored Sirius and Kreacher's cat and mouse game. He walked directly behind Kreacher and looked at the small item he was clutching in his hand.
[Soul]
The label on that small item was clearly reflected in his eyes.
"Oh.... This is....." Kayson murmured, reaching out directly. A powerful and precise attractive force pulled the small locket from Kreacher's hand into his own.
"Give it back to Kreacher!" Kreacher politely waved a spell towards Kayson.
"Kreacher!" Sirius roared in fury and immediately pulled out his wand: "Crucio!"
As Crucio landed on Kreacher, Kreacher's spell also reached Kayson, but unlike Kreacher, who immediately lay on the ground wailing, that spell was like a drop of water falling into the ocean, not even causing a ripple.
"Professor, are you alright?" Several Little Wizardss gathered around Kayson and asked.
"I'm fine, Sirius, stop it. I need to ask him many important things, and this also happened for a reason," Kayson said.
"Hmph, remember your place!" Sirius said viciously to Kreacher.
Kayson waved his hand, signaling Sirius to calm down, then he squatted down and showed the locket in his hand to Kreacher: "Did your previous master say whose locket this is?"
"Kreacher..." Kreacher hadn't finished speaking when Sirius directly pulled out a small bottle from his pocket, roughly shoved it into Kreacher's mouth, then grabbed his head and shook it.
Then he looked up at everyone: "That's just Veritaserum."
Kayson was silent for a long time: "I just... He did bear the responsibility of taking care of you, I think you should still be nicer to him."
"You're just too kind-hearted, this kind of fellow isn't worth it." Sirius shook his head.
"Alright, whose locket is this?"
"Young Master Regulus's," Kreacher said in a daze.
"Where did it come from?"
"Young Master Regulus stole it from the Dark Lord."
As soon as the words fell, most of the people present had strange expressions. They all knew who the Dark Lord was, Lord Voldemort.
But they were curious about Regulus. A normal Death Eater probably wouldn't have the guts to steal Lord Voldemort's things.
Sirius, on the other hand, thought even more. He clearly knew how fanatical his younger brother, Regulus, was towards Lord Voldemort. And why would such a fanatical Death Eater steal something from Lord Voldemort, whom he regarded as a god?
"Tell me everything you know about this locket," Kayson continued to ask.
"Young Master Regulus took Kreacher to a place. The Dark Lord placed this locket in a stone basin filled with liquid curses. The next time, Young Master Regulus took Kreacher to that place. Young Master Regulus drank those liquid curses and gave the locket to Kreacher, telling Kreacher to destroy the locket," Kreacher said calmly.
"What about Regulus!" Sirius asked.
"He was dragged underwater by Inferi."
"You just let your master be dragged underwater by Inferi?" Sirius was very agitated this time, one could even say he was roaring.
"Cast Stupefy on Kreacher," Kayson whispered to Lupin.
Lupin nodded, and the next moment, Kreacher vaguely fell down. Sirius, who was halfway through his roar, suddenly lost his target. He looked at Kayson and the other man with a bewildered expression.
"Now is not the time for you to research family rules, but for this thing." Kayson pinched the locket in his hand with two fingers: "This is a Horcrux."
"Horcrux?" Sirius asked, confused.
"Horcrux!" Lupin was alert.
"Abba Abba... What does that mean?"
"Nothing, you guys go on and play. We're going to see Dumbledore. You guys have fun." Kayson and Lupin exchanged a knowing glance, then quickly sent the Little Wizardss upstairs, and then used Ender Teleportation to grab Dumbledore in just a few seconds.
"You said there was something important, just how important could it be..." Dumbledore adjusted his glasses and hadn't finished speaking when Kayson pulled out the locket: "Look, Lord Voldemort's Horcrux."
".... This matter is indeed very important." Dumbledore exhaled and reached out to take the locket: "Where did this come from?"
Sirius repeated what Kreacher had just said.
".... He was also a hero." Dumbledore sighed.
"..... Ah? What?" Sirius didn't understand for a moment, or perhaps he didn't dare to understand from the beginning. He was afraid he had misunderstood Regulus.
His brother, whom he had despised for so many years, was a... hero.
"He sacrificed his life for the justice in his heart and stole Lord Voldemort's Horcrux. Is that not enough to call him a hero?" Dumbledore retorted.
"... Oh... Regulus...." Sirius was at a loss for words for a moment. He felt as if his throat had ceased to exist.
"Wake Kreacher up. We should still have very important things to ask him." Dumbledore ignored Sirius and looked at Kayson and Lupin, saying.
Lupin nodded, and soon Kreacher slowly woke up, but the effect of the Veritaserum clearly hadn't worn off. He still looked like an empty shell.
"Kreacher, I ask you...."
The strange triangle on the shirt collar and vest is a face covering; I really don't know how to draw it.
Please give me gifts, family!
