#regulus black and kreacher

[futurequibblerjournalist]

So I'm researching house elf names and it's noted that in canon Kreacher is the only house elf without a name ending in "y" and a reason for that is possibly that he was never actually named but that the Black family just called him Creature when calling for him and I just jvnfjbngj. I made it worse for myself too cause now I'm picturing Regulus being the reason it's spelled Kreacher instead of Creature because he was the first one to write it down but he didn't know how to spell it properly

regulus kreacher friendship but it's the skittles finding out

dorcas: you know, you always talk about this kreacher guy but none of us have met him

regulus: oh yeah that's cause he's an elf

literally all of them: ...

regulus: ...

evan: you've called him your best friend multiple times

dorcas: you called him your only friend before us

barty: and he's been your house elf this entire time

pandora: i think it's sweet, but i'm so glad you have us

regulus: what's wrong with him being my best friend??

[moutainrusing]

Sirius: Here’s the plan. We wait for Kreacher to leave the cake to cool on the counter. Then I’ll call him on the landline in order to draw him out of the kitchen. While he’s out, you grab the cake. Understood?

Regulus, walking up to Kreacher:

Regulus: Please could I have the cake, Kreacher?

Kreacher: Of course! Thank you for asking nicely.

Regulus, passing the cake to Sirius: Here you go.

when regulus finally agreed to escape to the potters only to die in the cave before he could even go

thinking about little 10 year old regulus black alone in grimmauld place without his brother for the first time in his life. and he’s lonely in a way he’s never really been so he turns, for lack of other options, to Kreacher, following him around as he does the housework and his other duties. and Kreacher knows that Regulus is not supposed to be talking to him, that he would be punished for talking to a house elf and Kreacher for being distracted from his work, but he cannot bring himself to send him away, this boy who everyone says is so quiet but turns into a chatterbox if you just give him a kind smile

this is an actual quote from the goblet of fire, hermione is pissed because of how crouch sr. treats/fires winky:

“Yes,” said Hermione in a heated voice, “he sacked her, just because she hadn’t stayed in her tent and let herself get trampled—” “Hermione, will you give it a rest with the elf!” said Ron. Sirius shook his head and said, “She’s got the measure of Crouch better than you have, Ron.  If you want to know what a man’s like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals.”

he was talking about regulus. HE WAS TALKING ABOUT REGULUS.

au where everything stays exactly the same until sirius' rant to the golden trio about how much he hates his family, his brother included, and kreacher gets fed up and just hands him a photo of james and regulus kissing and walks away

The first time I read the Harry Potter books I was 7, and so I read them in Russian. Despite the HORRIBLY translated edition that I read (Maria Spivak), where Hagrid is Ogrid and Madam Hooch is Madam Samogoni, which directly translates to "Madam Moonshine".

But some names were unchanged, like Harry and James and Sirius etc, but what I wanna talk about is Regulus. He was still Regulus Arcturus Black.

Р.А.Б., read "R-A-B", same as in English.

The thing is, if not for the fullstops, it would be an another word that exists in Russian - раб, directly translating to "slave".

And I laughed at this when I was young, at the pun that this made. But now that I think about it, it makes sense

Regulus was sort of a slave in the Black household. In terms of ideals and beliefs that his parents imposed. He got sorted into Slytherin, he became a death eater, he obeyed his parents and in the words of Sirius was "a better son than him". Regulus also defended Kreacher from Voldemort, and Kreacher was also, essentially, a slave in the household.

So yeah, just something to think about

walburga black was not a good mother. but she was a mother. when regulus disappears from home one day and doesn't return, she doesn't want to look at the family tapestry. but oh, she knows it deep down. she knows that under her son's name it will read ‘deceased’. it doesn’t matter that she didn't know how to love her own children; at the end of the day, even a woman like walburga felt the desolation of loss in the blood rooted in her veins and in her bones.

Regulus was Sirius‘ favorite cousin.

Regulus and Kreacher's friendship will never not be special to me

[manwrre]

every time i’m reading a hp fic and they mention regulus and kreacher, my chest hurts because i love them your honor. they mean the world to me. a boy and his fucking house elf have killed me, i keep thinking about that ‘my baby my baby you’re my baby’ song by mitski and listen, i know it’s mainly fanon but they’re everything TO ME

[moutainrusing]

Regulus, singing in the tune of ‘Reindeer Are Better Than People’ from ‘Frozen’: House-elves, are better than people.

Regulus: Kreacher, don’t you think that’s true?

Kreacher: Yeah, people will beat you, and curse you and cheat you, every one of them’s bad except you.

Sirius: What—

POV: the Slytherin skittles asking Regulus who’s his bestfriend

R: None of you.

P: Why none of us?!

B: Yeah!

R:well, Barty annoys the ever living shit out of me.

B: Hey!

R: Pandora is psycho who likes to torture me for fun

P: Your over exaggerating!

R: well Evan, Evan is just too much of stoner for my taste to be honest

E: fair

R: and Dorcas likes women to much

D: so just because I think women are wonderful you don’t think I’m worthy of being you bestfriend??

R: yes.

B: then who is your bestfriend? James?!

R: no not him, he’s a prat and annoying

P: well doesn’t that prat happen to be your boyfriend

R: yes well

B: then who is it?!!

R: you know what, Kreacher is my bestfriend. Now all of you bugger off!

He walks away.

B: who the hell is Kreacher?!!!
