I'm not sure whether or not to count it a measure of my importance or not that the Dark Lord came to me. Came to me and asked me for an elf. He needed one for something. I tried to ask what, I couldn't help myself. That earned me no points, I'm sure. It's a dangerous game I'm playing. And even if I am able to control my thoughts and my feelings around him... I shouldn't have asked. But anyone would have asked, he would have expected no less of me.
Of course, I volunteered Kreacher straight away. My poor elf. I sent him off, making sure to tell him to return.
And that, I find, was a very important thing. The Dark Lord used him, fed him some potion. Kreacher didn't know. He came back half alive, and I've spent the past several days trying to nurse him back to health. Funny, that reversal of fortune. I can still remember lying sick in my bed all through my youth, with Kreacher at my side tending to my needs. And to see him so broken, so incoherently mumbling.
But that's not important. Kreacher said the Dark Lord put a locket into that basin. I need to know what it was. I've suspected he was making horcruxes ever since I came across their name in that one book. But how many? I can only hope to Salazar that it was just the one.
What am I to do with this information? Who can I tell? Surely, this can't be my burden alone...
There's no one, though. Not anyone. Not even Amycus. Or Si anyone. This isn't a game. I will have to do more research until I'm absolutely certain. And then... I will have to go retrieve that locket.
