This article says Kreacher drank the potion for Voldemort while storing it... the [[Horcrux cave]] article says "''Once drunk it induced dehydration. If the drinker still had strength left after consuming the potion, he would be unable to drink water that did not come from the lake''" So this would certainly explain his unhealthy looking appearance (although I figured that was only age) but wouldn't he die without being able to drink? Does he have to teleport back to the cave on a regular basis to nourish himself? It seems kind of vague, like is it a one-time thing that you need to drink from the lake and then can go back to drinking normally or must forever only drink from there? It makes me wonder about Dumbledore's final moments too, as clearly he also left the cave. Regulus obviously got caught by the inferi... we know Dumbledore escaped them but I wonder how Kreacher did, I guess by porting out. [[User:Tyciol|Ty]] 05:19, April 7, 2010 (UTC)

:I think what the article means is that water cannot be conjured in the horcrux cave. Kreacher should be able drink water at other locations. The whole idea was to force the drinker of the potion to drink from the lake which would trigger the inferi and kill the drink.

Dehydration

This article says Kreacher drank the potion for Voldemort while storing it... the Horcrux cave article says "Once drunk it induced dehydration. If the drinker still had strength left after consuming the potion, he would be unable to drink water that did not come from the lake" So this would certainly explain his unhealthy looking appearance (although I figured that was only age) but wouldn't he die without being able to drink? Does he have to teleport back to the cave on a regular basis to nourish himself? It seems kind of vague, like is it a one-time thing that you need to drink from the lake and then can go back to drinking normally or must forever only drink from there? It makes me wonder about Dumbledore's final moments too, as clearly he also left the cave. Regulus obviously got caught by the inferi... we know Dumbledore escaped them but I wonder how Kreacher did, I guess by porting out. Ty 05:19, April 7, 2010 (UTC)
