"Death is approaching!"
On the rocking chair in the attic, Trelawney was twitching all over, causing the rocking chair to rock unsteadily. Her voice was sharp and hoarse, trembling like pain, speaking a prophecy that no one could hear at this moment.
"The Dark Lord's death is near, and he will not let the Dark Lord return again... accompanied by song... At the end of February, the Dark Lord... will disappear completely."
"Those who try to escape from death will only be overtaken by death! He cannot escape..."
A crystal ball in the corner lit up slightly. It had not been wiped for too long and was covered with a layer of dust, but this did not prevent it from being used, just as it was faithfully recording this scene at this moment.
…
The pure and proud Black family is the first in the list of pure-blood families. Of course, this ranking is not based on family strength or glory, but based on the first letter. But this is enough to make the Black family proud. They pride themselves on being pure blood, and even the family slogan boasts of being "forever pure."
But this arrogance also led to Black's decline, and now there are only four family members left.
One is Bellatrix who married Lestrange and is now in Azkaban, one was expelled for marrying a Muggle-born wizard, and the other married Malfoy, the current Malfoy. Madam, the last one is Sirius who is still missing.
But the Black family has declined, and even Sirius, the only one who can continue the bloodline, has been regarded as a shame to the family. They followed Voldemort, followed the pure blood, and so they also declined with the decline of Voldemort. Now only this empty mansion and a scrawny house elf are left.
Tonight, a wizard wearing a pure black cloak visited here.
Noah stepped lightly on the window edge, casting a dark silhouette on the floor-to-ceiling windows.
The arrival of the uninvited guest quickly alarmed the only living creature in the mansion - the house elf.
This is a house elf with a wrinkled face and a somewhat "ferocious" look. Of course, what is ferocious is not his expression, but his temperament, which is sinisterly like the castle itself.
"I don't know which guest is here." He looked respectful but was actually wary. It seemed that once he confirmed that the black-robed wizard was a thief, he would not hesitate to use the magic spell. "Kreacher would like to say hello to you on behalf of the master!"
Noah took a step forward, passed through the transparent glass window as if there was nothing, and stepped into this castle that had been abandoned for a long time.
"I think there might be something I'm looking for in this mansion." Noah's gaze swept across the hall, "Maybe your master knows where Slytherin's locket is."
Hearing that the house elf took a step back, he raised a hand and made a preparation to snap his fingers: "An unwelcome guest. There is nothing you are looking for here. Leave this house!"
"Lie." Noah easily identified his lie, "It seems that what I am looking for is indeed here."
He didn't take the threat of house elves seriously and walked straight inside.
The next moment, an invisible force hit him, but when it came within a foot of him, it burst into pieces and shattered into countless pieces scattered everywhere.
Noah's steps stopped. He turned his head slightly and stretched out his hand to the house elf: "I'm sorry, please be quiet for a while."
Kreacher tried to use magic again, but an invisible force froze him in place, as if he had been cast a petrification spell, unable to move. And the evil wizard wearing a black cloak walked past him and entered the mansion that he was supposed to protect.
But half an hour later, footsteps sounded again, and Kreacher realized that he had resumed action. He turned around in a hurry and found that the person who came was holding something familiar in his hand - it was given to him by his master. Something that he was asked to destroy, but Kreacher failed to do so, and now, a strange wizard plans to steal that thing!
"That's the master's thing!" He screamed and rushed towards Noah, but when he got close to him, he tripped over something invisible. At this moment, his body seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and his slender limbs struggled feebly. , but could not support the body no matter what.
Until the corner of the black cloak came to him, Kreacher burst into tears. He cried ugly, with snot and tears mixed together, but he could feel the suffocating sadness. He was begging: "Please, Kreacher" Please, that is the last thing left by the master, the thing that the master asked Kreacher to destroy! Kreacher is a waste, Kreacher can't do it! Kreacher let the master die in vain! The master asked Kreacher to destroy this terrible thing. Something! But Kreacher couldn’t do it!”
"You said, your master asked you to destroy this thing?" Noah asked aloud.
"Yes," Kreacher raised his neck. Even though his body was suppressed by the curse, he still raised his neck with all his strength, as if his entire head and body were folded at ninety degrees, but he didn't Not caring, he still raised his neck and tried to plead with Noah, "My master saved Kreacher and became a sacrifice to the Dark Lord instead of Kreacher. He finally asked Kreacher to destroy this evil and terrible thing. But Kreacher did not can do it……"
Noah looked thoughtfully at the locket in his hand.
Suddenly silver-white flames ignited in his hands, wrapping the locket in it. As he gently turned his hand and poured it down, the silver-white flames fell down together with the melting locket in the flames.
Kreacher's eyes followed the silvery white, and he saw with his own eyes that the things he couldn't destroy were burned and melted by the flames, leaving only a small flame that gradually extinguished when it hit the ground.
Kreacher stared at this scene blankly. When he came to his senses again, he found that the uninvited guest had already left, and the invisible burden on his body had long disappeared. He was stunned for half a second before screaming and rushing into the mansion. It took a few minutes to realize that what just happened was not a dream.
That person came here just to destroy that evil thing that shouldn't exist. He didn't touch any other things.
…
Noah returned to the castle and directly entered the underground chamber.
The seal here is still very stable, but there is nothing to worry about anymore.
Noah snapped his fingers, and the magic pattern carved on the inside of the glass cabinet lit up. The magic spell that had been preserved for a long time was activated, and the silver-white flame ignited out of thin air, using the Horcrux as fuel and began to burn wantonly.
Horrible howling sounds sounded from these Horcruxes, but they were quickly engulfed by flames.
When the entrance to the secret chamber was closed again, all the Horcruxes were completely destroyed, leaving not a trace of ashes.
Noah stepped onto the steps, and a huge snake head poked out from the entrance of the stairs. The snake vomited a message asking him what he was doing again.
Noah had a relaxed smile on his face at this moment, and a hoarse voice similar to a snake sounded from his mouth: "Nothing, just burning some garbage." 】
Some people died, but not completely...
