In the middle of the night, Harry was awakened by a scream, he opened his eyes blankly and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's Kreacher." Sirius muttered half asleep, "That house elf has been alone for too long, and his mind is out of order. Leave him alone and go to sleep."

Harry frowned, but after all he couldn't resist the drowsiness and fell asleep again.

In the kitchen, Anita tightly covered Kreacher's mouth, staring nervously at the kitchen door with wide eyes.After a long time, there was no movement, Anita let out a long breath, and said to Kreacher, "I let you go, you keep quiet, this is an order."

Kreacher's eyes, as large as tennis balls, were bloodshot, and he nodded tremblingly.

Anita let go of her hand, Kreacher didn't continue screaming, he looked at Anita in horror and vigilance.

"Kreacher, I need you to give me the locket Regulus gave you." Anita said in a low voice.

Kreacher shook his head violently, "That's Master Regulus' locket, Kreacher swore that he would not give it to anyone."

"Kreacher, Regulus ordered you to destroy the locket, but you failed. Give me the locket and I will destroy it," said Anita.

"Kreacher tried!" cried Kreacher, curling up in a ball and sobbing. "Kreacher tried everything, and none of it worked. Kreacher punished himself, tried again, punished himself, tried again Kreacher failed to carry out Master Regulus' order, Kreacher couldn't destroy the locket, Kreacher is a bad elf! Kreacher must punish himself!" Kreacher banged his head on the floor hard.

"Kreacher, I order you to stop punishing yourself!" Anita growled.

Kreacher stopped trembling, a large lump had already swelled on his forehead.

"Kreacher, listen, I can destroy the locket, I can fulfill Regulus' last wish, and you don't want Regulus to die in vain, right?" Anita stared closely at Kreacher, seeing His expression softened, and he continued, "In exchange, I can give you this, which belongs to Regulus." Anita took out the fake locket she found in the cave.

Kreacher looked longingly at the locket in Anita's hand and let out a loud sob.He snapped his fingers, and the real locket appeared in his hand.Kreacher looked at the locket in Anita's hand, then at the locket in his own hand, hesitated, hid his hands behind his back, and insisted, "Miss Prince must destroy the locket here, Kreacher wants to see it with his own eyes."

Anita looked inquiringly at the Diary Lord who was floating aside, and the Diary Lord nodded.

"Fine. But you must not tell anyone about the locket, that is an order," said Anita.

Kreacher nodded.Anita and Kreacher exchanged lockets, Kreacher hugged the fake locket tightly, tears streaming down his eyes, Kreacher kept wiping away the tears, staring at Annie with wide eyes tower.Anita knew that if Kreacher didn't see her destroy the locket, Kreacher would fight her hard.

Mr. Diary took the locket from Anita's hand, and he read a few words in a low voice. A translucent figure floated out of the locket and gradually overlapped with Mr. Diary.Mr. Diary and Anita said that he needed a period of time to fuse the split souls, so he returned to the diary.

In Kreacher's eyes, the locket rose into the air, and then a translucent thing floated out and disappeared in mid-air, and the locket fell into Anita's hand.Anita opened the locket and showed it to Kreacher, "This locket has been destroyed, and the black magic inside is gone."

Kreacher let out an excited scream, then collapsed on the ground crying and screaming, Anita couldn't stop her.Just as Anita was about to silence Kreacher with a petrifying spell, the kitchen door opened suddenly, and Anita jumped up in shock.

At the door, after being woken up by Kreacher's movements several times, Sirius couldn't bear it anymore and came down to check the situation, looked at Anita suspiciously, "Miss Prince? What are you doing here so late?"

"I'm hungry, and I want to come to the kitchen to find something to eat." Anita lied calmly, with cold sweat dripping from her back. "But your house elf seems to be very emotional."

"Don't worry about Kreacher, he's always been crazy." Sirius looked at Kreacher with tears and snot all over his face in disgust, and ordered, "Go back to your cupboard."

Kreacher bowed to Sirius, turned and bowed deeply to Anita, and staggered back into his cupboard.

Sirius looked at Kreacher's extraordinarily respectful attitude towards Anita, squinted his eyes suspiciously, and tentatively said, "Kreacher likes you very much? He has only respected my mother so much, and even I can't get his good attitude." .”

"Maybe because I have one of the noblest bloodlines in the wizarding world." Anita showed a noble and cold smile.

Sirius frowned in disgust, but let go of his doubts about Anita, Kreacher was indeed very likely to do such a thing.Even if Kreacher didn't do that, Sirius doubted his mother's portrait would command Kreacher to treat the Dark Lord's daughter with the utmost respect.

"Seriously, isn't there any food in the kitchen?" said Anita.

"I remember Harry saying you finished a cake with him?"

"Can't I have a big appetite?" Anita showed an expression of embarrassment.

Sirius took out a very suspicious piece of bread from the cabinet and handed it to Anita.Anita took it hesitantly and smelled it. Although there was no peculiar smell, Anita didn't want to put it in her mouth at all.

"You know? Think about it, I'm actually not that hungry." Anita returned the bread to Sirius.

Sirius rolled his eyes and ate the bread in two or three bites.

"Good night, then." Anita went upstairs.

Sirius looked at Anita's back and felt that something was wrong. He opened the cupboard door and asked Kreacher, "What was Miss Prince doing in the kitchen before?"

Kreacher held Regulus' locket tightly, buried his head between his knees, and whispered, "Miss Price is looking for food in the kitchen, Kreacher can't help Miss Prince, Kreacher A bad elf, Kreacher must punish himself."

Sirius frowned, let go of his doubts about Anita, and went back to his room to sleep.He didn't see, and after he left, Kreacher beat himself hard with the poker.

The next morning, although her back ached from sleeping on the recliner, Anita was still in a particularly bright mood.Her own father had already put together part of it, and also got Slytherin's locket. After school started, she could go to the Chamber of Secrets to see what the secret of the stone pillar was.

When Anita went downstairs, Dumbledore and Severus had already arrived, and Anita greeted them cheerfully, "Good morning, Dad, good morning, Professor Dumbledore."

"Good morning, Anita," said Dumbledore with a smile. "It seems you slept well last night?"

"It sucks," said Anita, "but it doesn't affect my beautiful mood."

"Anita, we need to talk to you." Dumbledore's expression became serious.

Anita's heart suddenly lifted.Now that the locket was still in her pocket, Anita subconsciously felt a little guilty.

"sit."

Anita sat on the sofa opposite Dumbledore, looking at Severus with some unease, Severus nodded to Anita reassuringly, but did not speak.

"Anita," Dumbledore's sharp eyes fixed on Anita's face, not letting go of any expression, "Have you ever mentioned the Horcrux to anyone, anywhere?"

Anita's heart skipped a beat, but a blank expression appeared on her face. She was thinking rapidly, why did Dumbledore ask that?Did he find out about Mr. Diary?No, no, if Dumbledore found out, he would kill the Diary Master first, and wouldn't ask her so gently here.So her hunting for the Horcruxes was discovered?No, it should be said that Dumbledore has noticed that someone else is looking for the Horcrux, but it should not be her, so she is safe for the time being.

Dumbledore must have been to that cave, right?Anita was secretly glad that she took the fake locket, even if she didn't want to switch the real one with Klee, leaving the fake one in the cave would be a big hidden danger.Dumbledore could easily deduce the real location based on the note left by Regulus, so she couldn't hide the fact that she took the real locket from Kreacher.Now that the clues were broken, Dumbledore would not suspect her as long as she held steady, and Dumbledore wasn't even sure if the Horcrux had ever been in the cave.

A thumbs up for myself who decisively set fire to the cave before.

"I didn't tell anyone except you and Dad." Anita said without guilt, she really didn't lie, except for Dumbledore and Severus, she only told the diary about the Horcrux, but the diary This gentleman is not considered a "person" right now, "I can make an unbreakable oath, if it makes you feel more at ease."

"No, no need. Of course I believe you." Dumbledore's eyes relaxed, "Promise me, don't let anyone know."

"I promise." Anita promised.
