Harry and I closed my dad's door and then I placed a locking jinx on it
"I'm sure whoever was in here earlier took what they wanted but this will keep his stuff safe until you take over the house"
"Electra?? Harry?!"
We walked downstairs to a frantic Hermione
"Where'd you go!?" She asked putting her arms across her chest
"Searching through the house" Harry said sitting down at the table in the dining room, breakfast was there, well fruit and bread that was still good to eat
"Find anything interesting?" Ron asked stuffing bread into his mouth
"We were in my dad's room, but that's all we checked before we heard Hermione yelling for us"
"I want to go to Godric's hollow"
Hermione and Ron stared at Harry waiting for him to continue
"I want to go there too...I want to see my dad's resting spot" I said softly playing with his dog charm on my bracelet
"We could meet Bathilda Bagshot there too, Ron your Aunt talked about her at the wedding and she seems to know information on Dumbledore's past that might help us find Horcruxes"
"Harry you knew Dumbledore better than anyone, I feel like we know all we need to about him. It would be a waste of time" she said looking from him to me "we will visit their graves when it's all over....we need to focus on Horcruxes and the sword of Gryffindor"
Together we all searched the rest of the house, looking for anything whoever was here before left behind
Most of the rooms were a mess, someone searched every draw and closet they could to find whatever they were looking for
Ron and I were looking at my Uncle's room, another room I hadn't gone into while living here, when Hermione yelled for us from downstairs
"I remember a locket from when we were here during Christmas!!" She yelled when we all grouped together
She ran for the draw she remembered it being in, but it was gone
"It was right here...I remember Ginny and I tried opening it, then your father tried and none of us had any luck. Kreacher opened it..."
"Whoever was here searching the house probably grabbed it" I said annoyed "either they knew what it was or wanted to sell it for a quick buck"
"Kreacher would know!" Harry said loudly "he used to steal things all the time, and if it belonged to a Black member he definitely would have taken it"
"You're right! Kreacher" I summoned him
A loud crack was heard in front of us
There, waiting for a command was the house elf that my dad's family owned, that I then owned when he passed and now Harry owns since I gave him the rights to the house
"Miss.Black, Mr.Potter" he said bowing
"Kreacher did you ever see a locket in the house? Don't lie" Harry said
"Kreacher did take a locket, it was thrown out years ago and Kreacher saved it. It was Master Regulus's and Kreacher couldnt let something he owned get thrown away"
He looked so sad when he would talk about my Uncle
"Kreacher tell us everything you know about the locket"
He sighed
"When Master Sirius ran away and deserted us, Regulus became involved with the dark arts. Regulus always liked Kreacher and treated Kreacher with respect" he said sadly "at the age of 16 Regulus joined the dark lord and told Kreacher a year later that he needed a house elf to do his bidding, Master Regulus volunteered Kreacher. The dark lord wanted Kreacher to test out the defense he put on the cavern that held the locket, he wanted to be sure it was impenetrable" his eyes filled with pain "the dark lord made Kreacher drink from the basin until all the potion was drunk, he refilled the potion afterwards and then left Kreacher to die"
Hermione gasped putting her hand over her mouth
"Kreacher became very thirsty, and the lake water was right there. Kreacher drank from the lake, but then dead hands of the Inferi dragged Kreacher under"
My heart was hurting from all that he went through
"The dark lord didn't realize that Master Regulus instructed Kreacher to return to him, it was an order and as a house elf Kreacher has to obey orders from his masters. He also thought because no witch or wizard could apparate within the cavern Kreacher would be stuck for eternity, but the dark lord didn't think of how elf magic is different and has no laws. Kreacher was able to disapparate from under the water and rejoin Master Regulus"
We all sat down at the table and asked Kreacher to join us, to which he did
"When I told Master Regulus what had happened, he chose to abandon the dark lord's side and fetch the Horcrux that he made Kreacher help with. Master drank the potion while Kreacher stood guard and he exchanged the locket for a fake one with a note inside of it. Master Regulus then commanded Kreacher to return to the house of Black and tell none of his family what happened to him. Master ordered Kreacher to also destroy the real locket too. Kreacher watched as Master Regulus was dragged under the water and killed by the dead. Kreacher never was able to destroy the locket"
I put my hand to my eyes to wipe away tears that formed
My brave Uncle
Kreacher loved him so deeply
"Kreacher thank you for telling us" Hermione said
"Filthy Mudblood..." he said back to her
Ron went to go beat him but Hermione pulled him back
"He doesn't know better" she said defending him
"Kreacher who stole the locket from the house? It was here a couple of years ago" I said
"Kreacher saw Mundungus Fletcher come by the house after Master Sirius's death. He stole the locket and other valuable items"
My hands began to shake violently
"Kreacher...bring Fletcher to us"
Kreacher disapparated leaving the four of us to discuss what he just told us
