A Boy From Slytherin | Draco Malfoy X Reader

~123~

I will be putting Lily's theme up on top to listen to for the rest of this story, or other songs from the Harry Potter soundtrack, because with the whole war and everything, I feel like it gives the story more of a dark and haunted vibe, trust me and listen while reading, chills girl, chills.

Draco's POV

"Regulus was a good man," Andromeda begins. "Not many know his true story, in fact, I am one of three who know."

"Who are the other two?" I question,

"His widowed wife, Eleanor. And the house elf he gave his life for."

"His...died for a house elf?"

"Yes," she nods, "Kreacher is the one who told us. Alright, You-Know-Who, as you know, has seven Horcruxes. One day the dark lord required a house elf, and Regulus was a death eater by the force of his parents, he volunteered Kreacher for the job. The two went to a cave where there was obstacles to get through. They got through them, and in there was basin of poison that one must drink in order to hide what they need to hide in there; the dark lord needed to hide a certain Horcrux. He made Kreacher drink the poison, and left him there to be attacked by inferi. Regulus called Kreacher back home, giving him the ability to apparate from the cave."

"Regulus got an exact replica of the Horcrux -a locket I believe- Kreacher then took him to back to the cave, and...Regulus drank the poison. Kreacher, who was given the fake locket, switched out the real Horcrux for the false one...Regulus was weakened by the poison, and he ordered Kreacher to leave the cave and destroy the real Horcrux ."

"Weak and unable to fight to stay alive, Regulus was drug into the water and drown by inferi...his body was never found. He knew he would die looking like a coward, but he did it to protect his family and the whole wizarding world. He died a silent and unknown hero." Andromeda wipes her eyes and looks away for a moment as I take in the story.

"Does anyone know where the real locket is now?" I ask,

"Well, I assume it is with Kreacher still, or destroyed."

"If we find that locket we could destroy it and work to find his other Horcruxes..."

"We could...but it's more difficult than it may seem,"

"Well isn't anyone trying to find them? I'm sure there's clues, if we destroy all seven then he's mortal again and he would be rather simple to kill, wouldn't he?" I sigh in realization, "But...Y/n and Kayden...would they have to-?"

"The Order is working on ways to kill the Horcrux inside them without killing them." She assures me, I nod.

"Regulus has two kids...Leonidas and Renee, shouldn't they know the truth about their father?"

"I believe they should..."

"Why hasn't their mother told them?"

"She's never sober enough to I guess. After her husband died she sort of died as well. Spends her days and nights drunk, good thing both her children go to boarding school, otherwise they would..." she sighs. Leo never told me about his mother...

There are seven Horcruxes, one a locket kept by a house elf, one of them is made up by both Y/n and Kayden...the other five are unknown. We need to figure this out and soon, fast as we can, this war needs to end.
