Slytherin's Locket

I dont know if there has been another post about this but i think it's worth a discussion.
As we have found out in the half blood prince voldemort used the locket as a horcrux, but what i have recently found is that it appears in the order of the phoenix, i think we have all figured out who r.a.b. is & if you re read ootp chapter when there at grimmauld place it says

"they found an unpleasant-looking silver instrument,something like a many-legged pair of tweezers whiched scuttled up [harrys arm like a spiderwhen he picked it up,and attempted to puncture his skin. sirius seized it& smashed it with a heavy book entitled natures nobility:a wizarding genealogy, there was a music box that emitted a faintly sinister,tinkling tune when wound ,and they all found themselves becoming curiously weak and sleepyuntil ginny had the sense to slam the lid shut,[color="black"][color="DarkOrchid"][u]a heavy locket that none of them could open[/

So could this be the locket & why hasn't harry remembered when he saw it in the pennisievemwill he go back to grimmauld place & did r.a.b distroy it ,looks like he didn't because they couldn't open it
i would to love to know if anyone else thought about this

It's also worth noting that after they threw the locket away, they later found it in Kreacher's "nest", after he'd recovered it. It's almost as if he knows the value of the locket and is protecting it... hmmmmmmmmmm.....

yea i thought of that and then realised that mundungus was selling stuff thrown out from grimmauld place ,so where could the locket be ?

Did they see the locket in Kreachers nest?
I couldn't remember if they did or not. I know there was a lot of broken pictures there.

If Kreacher does have it did he give it to Bella?

I think Kreacher was collecting thing from the family members he liked - the picture of Bellatrix, Mr. Blacks pants, etc. Maybe he thought the locket belonged to Regulus because he was the one who brought it into the house. It seemed the only Black he didn't like was Sirius. Therefore, it would make sense that the elf would keep the locket as a rememberance of Regulus. It would be a good way for JKR to sidetrack everyone - make us think that Mundungus stole the locket with all the other things he stole from Grimmauld Place, only to find out it's in the elfs bed.

That makes alot of sense-and since Kreacher was very reminiscent of Gollum, it would sure fit if he's the one w/the horcrux. If he is-do you think he's aware that it's a horcrux? Can't decide on that one. I still think it's also a possibility that Aberforth has it-he tightened his cloak around his neck and hurried away in Silver and Opals (what was he doing w/Mundungus?) -can't quite forget JKR's quote about Dumbledore's family, yet can't put my finger on how Aberforth fits in

If he's a profitable line of inquiry-Where on earth do we inquire?lol

Yayyy. I had thought of that too. I even broke out OoTP and found the same passage. If that was the locket, wouldn't it have done damage when touched? Just like Marvolo's ring? Of course, if RAB had already killed the soul, it wouldn't have been dangerous to touch.

Hey folks, after posting that Kreacher had the locket, which I believed was what I read at the time, I looked it up and found that I was wrong. The locket isn't mentioned in his nest find. I tried to find this thread and correct myself, but it was lost in the bowels of the board. I still believe that is the locket, but I have no evidence to support it. Surely the real locket would have a snake on it, and surely they would have noticed such an obvious giveaway. I mean, Hermione saw it afterall.. Ron or Harry, sure, they might not put 2 and 2 together, but Hermy would. Sorry for the misinformation folks!

yes! my sister and I discussed that too! hannah (my sister) was telling me that she thought that necklace WAS the slytherins necklace! i mean, in the sixth book when harry and dumbldore find the fake horcrux with the letter, they don't know where it is or who R.A.B is. but R.A.B is indeed sirius' brother! he must have turned good at the last minute (which in my opinion is why voldemort killed him) and taken the horcrux and hid it in his house! and didn't someone say that voldemort only kills people in person if they've done a really bad thing? he must have found out that regulus black took his horcrux and he killed him! i hope i'm on the right track here...if anyone has other ideas please say so.
