"You can't let anyone know what we're doing. Agreed?"
"Yes, Master Regulus."
.
"Regulus Arcturus Black! How you dare… You're now the heir of the Black family and you are to act accordingly."
"Mother, please. It's not—"
"No. I will not stand for this. That is a servant of this family, you will treat it like such. I don't know – nor do I wish to find out – exactly what you've been doing in there with it, but you are to end this now."
"Him…"
"Excuse me?"
"He's not… Forget I said anything. It's nothing."
"I thought so. Go up to your bedroom, now."
.
"No, Kreacher. Nothing happened and nothing will. Go, I'm trying to eat."
"Yes, Master Regulus."
.
"Kreacher, please. I need your help. You need to show me where he took you."
"It will put Master Regulus in danger. I can't—"
"You survived."
"Elf magic is different—"
"Please, Kreacher. I need to make this right."
"What will my Mistress say if you do not return?"
"You can't let her know. Not why I left, not what I was doing. Understand?"
"Yes, Master Regulus."
.
"Kreacher, this is the last time I'm going to ask. Where is my son? Where did you go with him? I know you know."
"Please, Mistress, I cannot say."
.
"Master Regulus, please come back. Please."
