Mellifluous ⚡ Nct Dream

⚡54

Mark led them all to a building, closing the door behind them and looking down the hallway. Smoke rose on the floor and distorted itself into a figure- Dumbledore's. His hand was outstretched as he came towards the group, Nari cowering back in fear with her eyes shut.
The smoke evaporated and they all calmed down slightly.

"What was that?" Jeno asked breathlessly.
"Probably Mad eyes idea, in case Snape came snooping." Renjun said, moving forward but feeling something lightly pulling him. He looked back to see Nari's fingers gripping onto the back of his jacket- eyes shut.
"Hey, it's gone now." He said softly, removing her hand from his jacket and running a thumb over her knuckles comfortingly.

Nari opened her eyes and nodded, trusting him and following closely behind him in the darkly lit hallway.

"And I will be dead long before you read this, I have stolen the real horcrux in attempt to destroy it." Mark read out the note.
"R.A.B is Sirius' brother?" Chenle asked.
"Seems like it." Nari said, rubbing her hands together for warmth. "Question is did he really destroy the real horcrux?"

Rattling from the other side of the room startled them all, Jisung basing jumped ten metres in the air and clung onto Renjun. They all shared a look and Mark stood up, creeping towards the said noise.
They all followed him to the black, worn out cupboard. Jeno stood with Nari, his hand on her back in case something happened.

Mark opened the door and pulled out whatever it Wass angrily, once seeing what it was.
"You've been spying on us have you?" Mark asked the elf. The elf grunted and dusted himself off.
"Kreacher...has been watching." The elf said, cowering behind a chair and glaring at the Wizards.
"Maybe he knows where the real locket is." Nari suggested.

Mark swiped the locket and held it up.
"You ever seen this before?"
Kreacher gasped and bowed his head.
"I-i er- um...it's Master Regulus'."
"But there were two, weren't there?" Renjun said, looking at the elf.
"Where's the other one?"

Kreacher looked down at the floor and groaned in fear at the several wizards around him. Fear of what will happen if he tells them.
"Kreacher doesn't know." He shrugged.
"Yes but did you ever see it? Was it in this house?" She asked.

"You filthy Orphan!" Kreacher snarled and Renjun stepped in front of her with his wand pointed at the elf.
"Answer her." He demanded.
"Yes...it was in this house." The elf sighed.  "Before he died, Master Regulus ordered Kreacher to destroy the locket...but no matter how hard Kreacher tried- he could not destroy it."

"Why's he speaking in third person?" Jisung muttered to Nari and she elbowed him gently.
"Not the time Sung."
"Where is it now?" Jeno asked.
"He came in the night at took a lot of things- including the locket." Kreacher said.
"Who did?" Chenle asked and they all awaited the answer.

"Mundungus... Mundungus Fletcher."
"Find him." Mark ordered and the elf disapparated without a second thought.

Crashing and tumbling sent them all in alarm, Nari awoke from her nap on Renjun's knee, jolting awake and disoriented.
The door flung open, showing a distraught Mundungus and two elves clinging onto him.

"Jeong Nari, how long it's been."
"Dobby? Oh my God!" She exclaimed, running over to the elf and engulfing him in a hug.
"Dobby has missed you."

"How dare you kidnap me!" Mundungus said. Dobby stood up on the table and began to speak over him to the rest.
"Dobby was only trying to help, Dobby saw Kreacher in diagon alley, which Dobby thought was curious- my goodness you're so cute." Dobby gawked at Jisung but shook it off.
"And then, kreacher said Mark and Nari's name-"
"I-" Kreacher said but Dobby pushed him back and began speaking again.

"And then, Kreacher was talking with the thief." Dobby ranted and Kreacher began to move Dobby out of the way to speak but the other elf shrugged him off.

"I'm no thief!" Mundungus said.
"You're a thief Mundungus we all know it." Renjun chuckled humourlessly and Dobby gasped.
"Master Renjun! So nice to see you." He gawked up with his hand outstretched to which Renjun shook.

"Look, I didn't know the locket was that valuable, i just wanted money. So there I was at diagonal alley and some ministry came and wanted to see my license...said she'd put me in prison and she would have if- she wasn't so attracted to the locket." He explained.
"Who was she?"

Mundungus quickly snagged something out of his bag and placed it on the table.
"Her. Bloody bow and all."

"Umbridge."
