AmanitaMuscaria now - I much prefer your version of events, 
Nikkalmati, as it does away with the worrying abou timelines, where 
RAB learnt his Dark Magic, and all the corresponding problems. But I 
do think Kreacher had some role in this episode, whether it was 
helping RAB make the locket look similar to the one Bella had, or 
whether he was loaned to Bella to help place the locket. He's just 
too good a character to lose. 
The interruption when Bella says - @he even trusted me with his most 
precious..." - classic JKR important statement interrupted.
It also rather fits the storyline - Lucius uses one of the horcruxes 
in a casual way to get at the Weasleys, Bella boasts about another 
and RAB does the switch - it's Voldy's henchmen/women frittering his 
soul pieces away because he didn't tell them what they really were, 
and they weren't as obedient as he'd think. I wonder who else in 
Voldemort's inner circle will end up helping the other side?
Cheers. AmanitaMuscaria
