#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

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

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.

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 funniest thing about Walburga's portrait is that for years it didn't actually have anyone to talk to besides Kreacher.

She put effort into the spell that got her up there, and for what? For nothing.

She really planned to be able to scream at someone, or interfere in some business or other, only to be faced with absolutely nothing.

The Order moving into Grimmauld Place was the only thing that made her relevant again, and that's really quite pathetic.

At least when Sirius was in Azkaban someone thought about him. They missed him or they feared him or they watched out for him.

Even after Regulus died, Kreacher mourned him.

But she was nothing.

And that's the saddest, most pathetic outcome of all.

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

Hermione about Regulus Black and Kreacher

Book 7, Harry Potter, chapter: "Kreachers Tale"

[dorasoracle]

Unpopular opinion: Regulus' favorite subjects were caring for magical creatures and astronomy. He's obviously an A+ student (an O+?? I don't know) in everything, but he actually prefers these two. What do you mean he HATES magical creatures? This man died for his house elf, he drank poison for him even though he could have told Kreacher to just drink it, he switched sides in the war after Voldemort disrespected his grumpy house elf. He reads a lot about magical creatures, eats in the kitchen with the house elves, knows practically all their names, goes to the Forbidden Forest (even with Pandora) and brings food for them and learns by being silently there with them, pays attention in class and the professor calls him many times as an assistant ( even in classes other than his ) , he judges people on how they treat magical creatures (Barty doesn't want to talk about that time he raised his voice at a house elf in front of Regulus, suffice it to say that he doesn't never did it again).

Astronomy, on the other hand, is just a safe place for Regulus ( his friends call him 'petite étoile, 'small star', for this reason ). He has read enough about this topic for all his years at Hogwarts, but it still feels very close to him. It reminds him of Sirius, also if his brother didn't find the subject as interesting as Regulus, but he enjoyed hearing it from his younger brother. His teacher noticed him and gave him permission to go to the astronomy tower whenever he wanted. He goes there practically every night, talks to the star of Sirius, repeats the constellations every night to see if he remembers them, he knows the cycles of the Moon by heart , reads Muggle books that his friends can find to understand how they interpreted it without magic.

( Actually he likes also herbology and potions a lot but the other two are just better. )

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—
