[HP] Seven Nights Talk

Harry was sitting at the end of the bed, but Kreacher had already moved closer to the bedside table before he knew it, so he was even closer. "Stop, Kreacher!" he yelled, but Kreacher, who had already decided that the ring was Regulus' relic, completely ignored it.Seeing that it was likely to be a step slower, he immediately became anxious, but somehow he remembered his wand: "The ring..."

Before Harry could say the Flying Curse, the ring, which had been lying flat, suddenly turned upside down and rolled onto the bed.Kreacher had already stretched out his hand and was about to catch it, but he didn't expect this kind of thing to happen suddenly.It froze for a moment, but still didn't give up, adjusted its angle and threw itself on the bed.

This gave Harry time.He fell on his side on the bed, right in front of Kreacher, and at the same time decisively cast a silent petrification spell.Kreacher froze with his hands forward, looking like he was giving Harry a close hug.

"I'm sorry, I didn't want to do this to you." Harry was caught between two stiff and thin hands, a little unable to move, so he could only say this first.Just when he wanted to call Dobby over to help, he suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing from behind, and Kreacher fell backwards with his eyes wide open.

For this sudden situation, not only Harry, but even Dobby was stunned this time.The house-elf looked completely still, and murmured, "...Dobby is dazzled?"

"...what?" Harry propped himself up on his elbows, looking forward and back.Of course Kreacher was in the front, his hands were as limp as if his bones had been pulled out, but his body was still stiff; as for the back...well, the ring rolled into the bed and disappeared out of sight.He turned it out with great difficulty and complained: "It's too hard to find like this, but it's okay."

He was about to say something, but Voldemort obviously couldn't help it: "I can't even handle two house-elves, what else can I expect from you?"

"This..." Harry fell silent.He's just showing mercy to the house-elves, who don't mean anything bad after all.Who knows how Kreacher noticed the ring?But when he looked up, he realized they had spoken—and Dobby, who was still awake, was staring at them with an expression about to swoon.

If Dobby's thought just now was "this ring can move by itself", then it was transformed into "Harry Potter seems to like the ring very much, talking to himself in front of it", and now it has completely become "Merlin! This ring is really magical and can talk!"... The impact was so great that it couldn't say a word now.

Harry and Dobby's eyes met, and it took three seconds for him to come back to his senses, staring at the ring in his hand: "Why did you say that!" He accidentally said it too!Then he thought of the weird wind just now, and wanted to ask Voldemort if his magic power erupted accidentally, but considering Dobby was present, he swallowed the words abruptly.

Apparently his expression did little to conceal his inner thoughts.Voldemort's card ring sneered, "Do you think I will sit and wait to die like you?" Then his voice paused, and he continued: "That one over there, hurry back to Wiltshire, don't force me to talk about today's matter. Tell Lucius."

Dobby originally wanted to insist, but the owner's name was obviously very lethal to it.It looked terrified, and took two steps back. It couldn't figure out when its master knew a ring.But then it realized that it might not be a ring at all, but a person, someone who knew where the Malfoys were.Considering this level of Transfiguration... "Dobibi, I have to go back!" it said in a panic, and immediately apparated in place.

As soon as the words were finished, Harry heard a pop, and when he looked up again, Dobby disappeared. "Wait..." His words were cut off halfway.He also wanted to ask what Dobby saw just now!It was useless to say so much just now, and it ran so fast as soon as Voldemort opened his mouth. Should it be said that Voldemort is more dangerous than him even if he is a ring?

Voldemort obviously thought this was a normal reaction. "Very well, there's only one left." He stood up and took two steps—Harry only felt the ring roll twice—and said, "The one at the bottom, the locket is gone. There will be another time." , it’s not that simple.”

"...What's so simple?" Harry was at a loss.Voldemort would not return the locket to Kreacher, of course he knew; but why didn't he understand the latter sentence, it seems to have nothing to do with the previous sentence, right?next time?what next time?

But Kreacher on the ground seemed to have understood.Although there was a petrification spell on his body, the expression in his big eyes was no longer the same as before, but extreme fear.Harry had no doubts that if the spell were removed now, Kreacher would be as fast as Dobby, slipping away faster than anything else.

"Very well, I assume you understand everything. You can't tell anyone about this, or you should understand the consequences." Voldemort ignored Harry's doubts, just finished his own words, and then the second house-elf Also disappeared from the room.

It was too fast... It took Harry a long time to get his thoughts back. "What happened to Kreacher's hand? Where did you send it? Did you recover your magic power?" He asked three questions in one breath.

"If you care about the matter, you can go downstairs and see the result," said Voldemort, with a distinctly smirk. "As for the latter question, I think you are asking in vain. My magic power has never disappeared." Then he rolled a few times and returned to the bedside table again.

Usually this action meant the conversation was over, but Harry was overwhelmed with doubts now. "How did you get Kreacher away? Some kind of magic that I don't know about? Also, if your magic power is always there, it means that you are getting used to wandless magic?" To sum it up, Voldemort...is changing powerful?

"Don't say you didn't expect that," said Voldemort languidly, yawning as if he had grown sleepy again in such a short time. "Next time don't do something like that to disturb your lucid dreams... I guess your understanding is better than that of a house-elf, don't you?"

Harry stared.Could it be that Voldemort meant that the house-elves knew they couldn't speak out, and that he should get the matter over with before alarming Voldemort next time?And Voldemort did not deny wandless magic, that is to say, becoming stronger is indeed true.Think about it, he now has three-sevenths of the soul, the overall strength will definitely be stronger, isn't it?

Seeing that the ring had quieted down, Harry climbed back onto the bed, still thinking about it.On the one hand, Voldemort can use magic in the item state, which means that his own security has risen to a higher level, which is very necessary for them; on the other hand, if Voldemort can use magic to do more things, that is also It means that Voldemort will intervene in future development, and it is likely to create obstacles for him.

If Voldemort's IQ came back, he wouldn't have made the same mistakes, Harry thought.But at the same time, he thought of another question. Voldemort always looked down on the house-elf. If he was forced to move because he didn't want to be held by Kreacher, why didn't he use magic to immobilize it from the beginning?He really didn't see the possibility that Voldemort would be slow to react.

In fact, he really had an idea, although he didn't know it yet.Because Kreacher was lying stiff on that blanket, with the threat of the ring around his ears—"There will be another time, it won't be so simple", he couldn't help feeling scared, and his head was covered in cold sweat.

Kreacher considered himself very careful, and made no noise when he entered Harry's room.In fact it felt, Harry probably didn't realize until now, that his suitcase had been turned over.But when it recalled it now, it suddenly came back to its senses, and when it was rummaging, a ray of light flashed across the room.It originally thought it was the headlights of Muggles in the square outside, but now that I think about it, that's not the case at all, the headlights are not that dim - it's just the reflection of the ring!

That is, the ring found it in the first place!The opponent didn't take it seriously at all, and didn't even want to make a move!

This also shows that it was a mistake to decide to get the ring at the beginning, because it definitely couldn't get it.But Harry didn't know it, so he tried to stop it.But when it was already anchored by Harry, and it would take some time to break free, the ring immediately struck.And what happened then?It just maintains a stiff posture!

Kreacher felt that it seemed to guess something terrible, but it didn't want to know at all.Obviously, the ring is a wizard, and a wizard with high magic power and not easy to offend.This is a good thing for Harry, someone is protecting him; it is only bad news for it, because it means that it will never be able to venture to Harry to retrieve the locket.The ring had made it clear that he had taken the locket and could never return it.

In fact, Regulus handed it over to let it destroy it, and Kreacher didn't like it at all; but at this time, it still had to think, if the ring told it, what would he do with the locket ,Enough.However, based on its knowledge of the locket, if either the ring or Harry were wearing it, it would certainly not be so normal by now.That is to say, either the locket was destroyed, or the ring hid the locket again.

The effects of the Petrification and Cartilage Charms would not wear off until dawn, and Kreacher stared straight at the low ceiling.It has been more than ten years, and it must do well what the young master told him.

Compared to Kreacher's sleepless night, Harry didn't sleep well at night.He had suspected Voldemort's emotional problems before going to sleep, and finally fell asleep and was woken up. When he woke up the next day, his head was full of Voldemort's "There will be another time".He was basically sure that Voldemort wasn't unresponsive, but the guesswork that followed made him feel like he was being sentimental - why did Voldemort care that he was simply stuck?
