Chapter 804: Respective Tasks
It seemed that Sirius was planning to have a good talk with Harry about the Black family's past.
However, as a traditional black magic family, the Black family enjoys titles and honors. This seems to be an interesting history.
Regulus, also known as R.A.B...
Sirius believed that Voldemort killed Regulus sometime in 1980 (the same year that the prophecy was made and Harry was born).
But in fact, Regulus stole Voldemort's Horcrux - the Slytherin Pendant and sacrificed himself in a cave. He drank Voldemort's poison and was then carried by the Inferi and sank to the bottom of the lake.
Speaking of which, Fanlin has never seen a unique undead creation like the Inferi until now. It is worth mentioning that in black magic and demonic magic, living people are...
Regulus ordered Kreacher to destroy the pendant, but Kreacher failed to do so. He is R.A.B. Regulus is Alpha Leo, the brightest star in the constellation Leo; it means "prince" in Latin; Arcturus is Alpha Boötes, the brightest star in the constellation Boötes, and the brightest star in the night sky in the northern hemisphere. From Fanlin's understanding, we can know that although Regulus has the concept of maintaining pure blood, he is actually a kind and gentle person, and he treats house elves very kindly. The bravery and fearlessness shown when taking away the Horcrux completely subverted the image of the "cowardly and evil Death Eater" that Sirius had learned from him in the past.
However, the problem is that Kreacher cannot come forward to prove this.
An old servant of a dark magic family, whose mind is still unclear, then wants to clear the grievances of one of the earliest and most senior former Death Eaters, and for people nowadays, except for a few, it is completely meaningless. move……
This couldn't help but make Fan Lin a little worried.
Regulus is very similar to Harry, but he is stronger than Harry. To be precise, he is the one who can still see the light when his eyes are covered by darkness. He is the first to find Voldemort's weakness. Even Dun Neither can Bledo.
As for Fanlin himself, if it weren't for that memory, he might be Harry, or even a low-end version of Harry, who has been kept in the dark by Dumbledore.
But it's not much better now.
At least Harry had spent so many years safely at school, and now he was on the run.
Before leaving, at least they have to clean up the house. This is Sirius's home, and Sirius has to do many things himself. Fortunately, the giant has no actual intentions. Hagrid even got one step closer with his identity... Compared to In the words of a Death Eater...
Over the next few days, Mrs. Weasley made them work very hard every day.
It took three days to clean the studio. Finally, the only unwelcome object left in the room was the tapestry bearing the Black family tree, which had resisted all efforts to remove it from the wall, and the A clattering desk.
Mad-Eye Moody hasn't returned to headquarters yet, so they're not sure what's inside.
Sirius's cleaning team moved from the studio to the first-floor dining room when they found a spider the size of a teacup in a cupboard. (Ron quickly left the room to drink tea outside and did not dare to come back for an hour and a half.) All the china with the Black family mark in the dining room was thrown into the garbage bag by Sirius without mercy. The same fate happened in All the inhabitants of a set of fixed photographs framed in tarnished silver began to scream as the glass covering them shattered.
Snape might have been happy to call their work cleaning, but in Harry's eyes they were waging a real clown war in the house, a series of battles instigated and started by Kreacher. Wherever they gathered, the aging house elf appeared, its curses becoming increasingly rude as it tried to remove anything it could from the trash bags.
Sirius stepped forward and threatened it with his clothes, but Kreacher would look at Sirius with a stubborn dark look: "Master, you can do whatever you want," it said before turning and running away, cursing louder. , "But the master will not let Kreacher go, no, because Kreacher knows what they are doing, oh, yes, he is plotting against the Dark Duke, yes, with his group of bastards, traitors, and garbage …”
This time, Sirius ignored Hermione's protests, grabbed Kreacher by the back of his belt and threw him out of the room himself.
I have to admit that there is not a fool among the elves, but they are so domesticated that it becomes a problem to get rid of servility.
The doorbell rang several times a day, each ring signaling that Sirius' mother was about to start barking again, and because Harry and the others wanted to eavesdrop on the visitors, Mrs. Weasley gave them new instructions. Before a mission, they always take the opportunity to sneak a glance and eavesdrop on a bit of the conversation.
This is not difficult for Fan Lin, as a participant, but Mrs. Weasley used the example as a reason to try to reduce the meeting time in the next few days. In Mrs. Weasley's words, there is a task about Fan Lin. It wasn't a secret, he just needed to know what he needed to know and then it would be fair to Harry.
I have to admit that this is a very good argument, but it only troubles Sirius to give a simple retelling. Fanlin has made up his mind and has done this more than once or twice.
However, for Harry, everything is closed, so Harry can only get as much as possible.
Snape hurried back and forth in the house several times since then, and Harry always avoided meeting him face to face; Harry also met his Transfiguration Magic teacher, Professor McGonagall, who looked very strange in her clothes. A Muggle-style women's dress and coat, and she seemed to be very busy and had no time to linger. Sometimes, however, visitors stay to help.
When they discovered a dangerous old body snatcher lurking in the upstairs bathroom, Tonks spent an unforgettable afternoon with them, and even though Lupine lived here like Sirius, But he has to go out for a long time every day to do some secret work for the instructions.
He helped repair an old grandfather clock that had developed a bad habit of making a heavy rustling sound whenever someone walked by.
Mundungus somewhat redeemed himself in Mrs. Weasley's eyes by his heroic act of rescuing Ron from a set of ancient purple robes that were trying to strangle him to death while Ron was trying to get them out of the wardrobe. Clean it out.
Although Harry had been sleeping poorly, dreaming of corridors and locked doors that made his scar tingle, Harry tried his best to feel happy for the first time this summer.
Harry was happy when he was busy; but when he had less work to do, or when he lay exhausted in bed watching shadows move across the ceiling, his mind would return to the mirage of the Ministry of Magic hearings.
Fear stabbed into his body like needles, and he wondered what would happen if he was fired. The thought was so horrific that Ron was afraid to say it out loud to him, even though he often saw Ron whispering with Fred and George and looking in his direction with worried eyes. Come over and they never mentioned it again in Harry's presence.
Fanlin and Hermione were still the same, making Harry feel at ease, but sometimes he couldn't help but imagine the scene where the unselfish Ministry of Magic officials broke his wand in two and ordered him to return to the Dursleys... …but he refused to leave.
He made up his mind. He would return to the Order's headquarters and live with Sirius.
However, a lot of things happened in the two days after packing up the Black ancestral home.
For Fanlin, this was just another unexpected trip, but for Harry, this was definitely the most painful period of time.
Harry felt a brick in his stomach when Mrs. Weasley spoke to him during dinner on Thursday night. Mrs. Weasley said in a calm tone, "I'll have the best clothes for you tomorrow morning." , Harry, and I want you to wash your hair tonight. A good first impression will help."
For a moment, everyone stopped talking and looked at him. Harry nodded and continued eating as best he could, but his mouth became dry and he couldn't chew.
"How do I get there tomorrow?" he asked Mrs. Weasley, trying not to sound panicked.
"Arthur will go with you," Mrs. Weasley said softly.
Mr. Weasley smiled encouragingly at Harry across the table. "You can stay in my office until the hearing begins," he said.
Harry looked at Sirius, but before he could ask, Mrs. Weasley answered his question.
"Professor Dumbledore doesn't think it's a good idea for Sirius to accompany you, I must say—"
"I think he's right," Sirius grinned.
Mrs. Weasley was silent.
"When did Dumbledore tell you?" Harry asked, staring at Sirius.
"Dumbledore came last night after you went to bed. After all, Fanlin and I are going to...you know, Hagrid's little trouble..." Sirius said.
Sirius forked a piece of potato. Harry lowered his eyes to his plate.
The idea that Dumbledore had arrived on the eve of the hearing without asking to see him made Harry feel, if possible, even worse. (To be continued)
