"Really, the Malfoy boy and an elf broke into the mistress' house, the mistress would be very angry if she found out."
Hearing the muttering of the house-elf Kreacher, Draco asked displeased "What are you talking about?"
"Kreacher didn't say anything, Kreacher was welcoming Master Malfoy."
Draco glared at the cunning Kreacher, then looked at Lucas puzzled.
"What are you looking for? Mom never let me come here. She said Mrs. Walburga Black hates being disturbed by others. What did Kreacher mean by elf?"
"I've found it!" Lucas looked at Kreacher with glowing eyes.
"Kreacher, let me ask you, do you have a heavy locket that cannot be opened?"
Kreacher stared at Lucas in horror.
Then, with a snap of the fingers, he disappeared.
"Draco!"
Draco immediately understood what Lucas meant.
Being half of the Black family, he immediately called out to the empty room, "Kreacher, come to me right now!"
~Pop!~
There was a soft sound and Kreacher appeared in front of the two again.
Kreacher reappeared because of the order, but he never looked at the two of them.
"Kreacher, I believe you have also seen my identity, I can help you destroy the locket, will you let me help you?"
Kreacher looked at the blond boy in front of him with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
He was thinking why this person would know what his nice master Regulus ordered.
After a few seconds.
Seeing that the decrepit house elf still refused to speak, Draco frowned heavily.
"It's better for me to order him. You want to get a locket, right?"
Seeing Lucas nod, Draco immediately issued an order: "Kreacher, bring the locket immediately."
Kreacher remained where he was.
Seeing his trembling body, he seems to be resisting Draco's orders.
When the trembling stopped, Kreacher raised his head and said.
"I'm sorry, Master Malfoy, you are not Kreacher's master, and Kreacher will not obey your orders."
Draco's face flushed with anger.
If Lucas hadn't stopped him, he might have attacked Kreacher.
Lucas looked at Draco with contempt: "Draco, why must you have platinum blonde hair? It would be better if you had more black hair, tsk, it's really useless."
It's well known that the hair color of most of the Black family is Black.
"My last name is Malfoy, not Black."
What Draco is most proud of is this platinum hair color, he spends a great deal of time every morning arranging his hair.
Even if Lucas is his best friend, he doesn't allow him to talk bad about his hair.
Lucas was just joking too.
He came to Kreacher and knelt down.
Looking at the house-elf with determined eyes, he sighed.
"Draco, please go out first."
"Huh?" Draco's face was full of reluctance, but seeing the gaze Lucas cast on him he opened the door wisely and walked out.
Once only Lucas and Kreacher were left in the house, neither of them spoke.
Kreacher brought Lucas into the living room and silently prepared a cup of coffee for him.
Lucas, on the other hand, was wondering how to get the stubborn, elderly house-elf to hand over the locket.
Before coming here Lucas had a detailed understanding of the history of the Black family.
This is a family that advocates pure blood supremacy.
It is also the oldest and noblest pure-blood family in England.
During the height of Voldemort's power, most members of House Black took great pride in serving the Dark Lord.
Because the Dark Lord, like them, advocated blood purity.
But who would have thought that there would be two outliers in the family.
Sirius Black, Harry's godfather and best friend of James Potter.
He was rebellious and pursued freedom.
From the bottom of his heart, he loathes the pure-blood ideas of the Black family and after graduating from Hogwarts, he resolutely joined the Order of the Phoenix.
Working with his friends in the vanguard against Voldemort.
If you are his friend, you can completely trust Sirius because he's even more loyal than a Hufflepuff, and even his animagus form is a dog who are known for their loyalty…
But if it's seen from the interests of the family, Sirius' behavior almost ruined the Black family's long history.
Just imagine, when Voldemort found out that the Black family actually fell into the arms of the old bee.
With his crazy character in the later stage, I am afraid that he will lead people to destroy the Black family immediately.
As for why he didn't.
It was because of one person, Regulus Arcturus Black, Sirius' younger brother.
In the eyes of Sirius, his brother was timid and cowardly. The useless younger brother who always follows behind him but is deadly afraid of their mother.
Regulus joined the Death Eaters at the age of 16 and quickly became someone Voldemort trusted.
It is also thanks to him that the Black family could be preserved, because he took on what should have been his older brother's responsibilities.
"Regulus Black"
Kreacher suddenly looked up at Lucas. Hearing this name, his eyes showed sadness and guilt.
Regulus was a kind man, and he never regarded Kreacher as a slave, but as a friend.
Such Regulus won Kreacher's allegiance, regardless of whether he was his master or not.
As for why he felt guilty, it's probably because Kreacher has not completed the task assigned by his master Regulus even after so long.
"To the Dark Lord:
I know I will be dead long before you read this but I want you to know that it was I who discovered your secret. I have stolen the real Horcrux and intend to destroy it as soon as I can. I face death in the hope that when you meet your match, you will be mortal once more.
R.A.B"
"You...how do you know?"
Kreacher looked at the elf in front of him in surprise.
No one should know about these things.
Lucas took a deep breath, and said softly to Kreacher, "How about we make a deal?"
"At this time a year later, I will bring back your master Regulus' body and his locket."
"At that time, will you hand over the real locket?"
Kreacher became a little anxious and started to become incoherent: "But..poison, and monsters, there...impossible."
"Kreacher!"
A proud, indifferent voice suddenly sounded.
Lucas saw a noble woman in a portrait on the wall.
Presumably she is Mrs. Black.
"Young wizard, if you can really bring Regulus back, I will agree to your request, and the Black family will never forget your kindness."
Madame Black's eyes were full of sadness.
Although she is just a portrait now, but she is a portrait with the memory of Mrs. Black.
So it is normal that she would also be sad for her favorite son.
Kreacher bowed to the portrait: "Yes, Mistress."
Looking at the old Black house that is slowly disappearing behind him looking as if it was being squeezed by both houses next to it.
There was a wave in Lucas' eyes.
He was disgusted with Sirius.
Very disgusted.
Maybe it's because his actions were not in line with Lucas' philosophy.
When Sirius was pursuing freedom and taking risks with his friends, it was his scared and shy younger brother who took up the responsibility and future of the family.
On July 31, 1980, Sirius was smug as he became Godfather.
While the cowardly and useless younger brother in his eyes stayed forever in that cold, damp cave full of corpses in order to fight against Voldemort.
Thinking of Sirius Black who will escape from Azkaban next year, Lucas sneered.
Sirius better hope not to fall into his hands.
"Lucas, are you done?"
Looking back at Draco beside him, he nodded slightly.
"Almost, although the time is a bit rushed, but it shouldn't be a big problem."
Hearing the ambiguous answer Draco frowned, but he soon put it behind him.
"By the way, Father asked me to thank you for the warning. The Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Division were actually searching wizarding homes recently."
"It's a good thing you reminded my father in time, those nasty Weasley, they must have been targeting my family."
Seeing Draco's disgusted expression Lucas just smiled and didn't express his opinion.
When they returned to Wiltshire Draco suddenly said: "Don't worry about today's matter, I will keep it a secret for you, including my parents, although I don't know what you want to do, but I believe in you, my best friend!"
Looking at the platinum haired boy who walked into Malfoy Manor, Lucas chuckled: "This guy has finally grown up."
The following days Lucas had a relaxed and comfortable life.
It would be better if Draco didn't come a few times a day.
And it would be even better if he didn't bring the two idiot trolls every time he came.
It's been like this for two weeks.
Finally, the Hogwarts owls brought the new school year's book list.
Voyages with Vampires, by Gilderoy Lockhart
Break with a Banshee, by Gilderoy Lockhart
Gadding with Ghouls, by Gilderoy Lockhart
Holidays with Hags, by Gilderoy Lockhart
Wandering with Werewolves, by Gilderoy Lockhart
Travels with Trolls, by Gilderoy Lockhart
Year with the Yeti, by Gilderoy Lockhart
Magical Me, by Gilderoy Lockhart
Looking at a long list of books, all Gilderoy's novels, Lucas frowned: "Aunt Vinda!"
When Vinda pushed the door and came in front of him.
He handed her the envelope in his hand: "Get me a set of stupid Gilderoy Retarded Lockhart's books from our bookstore, oh Merlin, Dumbledore is crazy!"
He had just finished speaking when Hestia brought in Hermione's letter.
Coincidentally, Cho Chang also sent a letter from her own owl at the same time.
Looking at the contents of the two letters that are exactly the same Lucas frowned slightly, not knowing what the two little witches meant.
But just going shopping in Diagon Alley, he has no objection.
He wrote letters to both of them and turned back to read the book on his lap.
It's just that the title of this book looks creepy.
"The cruelest black magic in the magic world for thousands of years!".
