Hogwarts: I'm Harry's older cousin

Chapter 355, 349. Isn't it just mind-controlling and thought-manipulation? Who doesn't know how to do that?

As Kreacher recounts his experiences, which are sometimes erratic and sometimes agitated, Regulus's life over the years comes to light.

"Young Master Relegus took out a box from his pocket that resembled the Dark Lord's."

"He instructed Kreacher to take it with him and replace the box once the stone basin was empty."

"He also ordered Kreacher to leave him, and instructed him not to tell the mistress what he had done when he got home, and to destroy the box. He drank all the poison, Kreacher switched the box, and watched as young Master Regulus was dragged underwater..."

The crowd was deeply disturbed for a long time after hearing this, and the only sound in the room was Kreacher's sobbing.

"The Black Fiend!"

After a long while, Phineas's roar echoed throughout the room.

Previously, he had always felt that Voldemort and the Death Eaters had little to do with them, and he even thought Voldemort's bloodline supremacy was quite good. But now the heir of the Black family had died because of him.

Then Voldemort is the enemy!

"Regrus did this for Kreacher? It's unbelievable that a pure-blood wizard would turn against Tom for a house-elf."

Draco's tone was full of surprise; he couldn't quite understand Regulus's behavior.

Voldemort's true identity was no secret within the Discipline Group.

Therefore, for Voldemort, who is determined to erase his past, the entire Discipline Group is on his kill list.

"Perhaps for Regulus, Kreacher was like family."

"He admired senior Tom, so he recommended his family members, but senior Tom hurt his family members and even treated them like dirt."

Hermione wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, her voice firm and strong.

"Couldn't they just arrest a serious criminal and make him drink it instead of doing it themselves? Entrusting such an important task to a house-elf, only to sacrifice themselves in vain?"

Draco thought to himself that Regulus's actions, while noble, were somewhat foolish in his eyes, but he ultimately didn't dare to say it aloud.

The witch's emotional thinking and the wizard's rational thinking are not on the same page.

In short, Regulus's situation left them all feeling deeply saddened.

"He is a hero, a true hero."

Dudley summarized, then turned his gaze to Kreacher.

"The fact that senior Tom values ​​this pendant box so much can only mean that it is very precious."

"So what is its origin?"

His words reminded everyone that Voldemort would not do anything in vain. He valued this box so much that he even set up many traps to protect it. So what was in the box, or rather, inside the box?

This time, Dali didn't give the answer, but quietly waited for the others.

"I remember Tom once gave a diary to Draco's father, and Draco later destroyed it. It was a dark magic item."

Harry was the first to speak, living up to expectations; he's always reliable in crucial moments.

"Yes, it holds Tom's memories from when he was 16."

"Could this thing be the same thing?"

Thinking this, Harry took out his wand and gently tapped it twice on the memorial box.

"I command you to reveal your secret."

This is an identification spell often used by wizards. Snape used it on the Marauder's Map in the original story, although he was mocked by the Marauder's Map.

The memorial box did not react at all, as if it were a normal, inanimate object.

"Kreacher said Regulus told him to destroy the box, so we might as well just destroy it."

Ron suggested, then he took out his wand and aimed it at the box.

The spell struck the box but had no effect; instead, it sent up a piece of wooden floorboards that nearly disfigured Ron.

Harry and Draco also joined in and tried a few spells, but neither dark magic nor other spells had any effect on the box.

"It's no use. Kreacher tried countless methods, but none of them could cause the slightest damage to the box."

"I'm still lost in memories of Regulus," Kreacher said sadly, "I've even forgotten to curse."

"Dursley, you little brat, do you even know what that is?"

Phineas glanced at Daly, who remained silent to the side, and said in a low voice.

Dali nodded.

Upon hearing this, Phineas immediately pressed for details.

Dudley didn't answer him directly, but said softly, "Respected former principal, do you know how wizards can achieve immortality?"

"It's the former, former, former headmaster!" Phineas corrected, then said, "Let me think... Philosopher's Stone? But that kind of thing grants immortality with side effects. Unicorn blood? Drinking cursed blood can also extend lifespan, but it turns a person into something neither human nor ghost. But none of these things have anything to do with that box."

"Actually, there is another way to achieve immortality. It is a very evil magic that allows one to be resurrected in another form even after death."

Do you know what Horcruxes are?

As soon as Dali uttered those words, the temperature around them seemed to drop several degrees.

After a very brief moment of stunned silence, Phineas exclaimed.

"The Dark Lord created Horcruxes?!"

These words immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

The pendant box, which had been lying quietly on the ground without any reaction, finally showed a slight response.

"I need to find the easiest person to control to take me away."

"It's dangerous here."

Horcruxes possess a basic level of consciousness, such as the diary and the chalice. The former can move freely even if the original body is destroyed, while the latter gains control after the original body is destroyed. The locket is somewhat inferior to the former two, but it still possesses a degree of self-awareness.

It sensed a crisis coming from Dudley.

Its gaze swept over everyone. The one with glasses (Harry) looked quite clever, the bookworm (Hermione) was the most stubborn and hardest to control, the big guy (Neville) actually picked up a hammer and tried to use it against me, but unfortunately I'm not an ordinary locket, the platinum-haired one (Draco) looked sinister. The red-haired one looked stupid, definitely the easiest to control among them.

"Take me with you, and get out of here."

A seductive voice rang in Ron's ears.

The ability to bewitch people is a characteristic shared by all black magic items.

Horcruxes excel at this.

The pendant box is the best of all Horcruxes.

"Huh?" Ron picked at his ear, looking around in confusion. "Who's talking?"

"Take me with you, and get out of here."

The seductive voice rang out again.

"No time? I haven't seen you busy at all?"

Let me see what you desire most in your heart right now.

Then an image appeared before the pendant box's eyes.

Ron was gnawing on two large chicken legs, his mouth dripping with oil, while a whole bowl of food sat in front of him.

Slytherin pendant box:

"Is that all you've got?"

Just as the pendant box was about to proceed with its next move, another unfamiliar voice interrupted.

"Senior Tom, where are you headed?"

Dudley looked at the pendant box with a big smile on his face.

Isn't it just mind control and thought manipulation? Anyone can do that.

The original novel is the locket, and the movie is the locket.

However, I searched through all the information but couldn't find any description of Slytherin's pendant in the original work, so Slytherin's relic was just a box?
