Chapter 445: Locket in a Glass Cabinet

Tens of thousands of galleons flew away like this, and Kyle felt a twinge of pain.

But there is no way, compared with these golds, Hufflepuff's gold cup is more important.

Like the Ravenclaw Diadem, the Gold Cup is also something left behind by the Big Four.

After Voldemort's prodigal son made it into a Horcrux, he gave it to Bellatrix for safekeeping.

However, Bellatrix did not keep Voldemort's belongings in her own home like Lucius Malfoy did, but chose the Gringotts vault, which she considered safer.

But speaking of Horcruxes... In addition to the golden cup that is currently out of reach, there is another one that is closer, which can even be said to be within easy reach.

This is also the main reason why Kyle agreed to come to 12 Grimmauld Place with Sirius.

As for the box, it was a complete surprise. In fact, Kyle never expected that the key to opening the box would be Sirius Black himself.

He originally wanted to try using ordinary magic spells first. If it really couldn't be opened, he would just use the Fire Charm, or ask Nicoléme for help next time he went to Devon.

Thinking of this, Kyle first glanced at Kreacher who was still tied to the ground, casually lifted the confinement spell he had just cast, then turned around and asked:

"Sirius, can I visit this place?"

Kreacher, who was about to leave, suddenly stopped in place when he heard these words.

"The scumbag master brought back a little devil. Kreacher has never seen such an evil wizard. He was not satisfied with blowing up the living room. Now he wants to blow up other places. Kreacher wants to guard the mistress's house. Anyone can do it. Don't try to ruin it..."

"Shut up, Kreacher!" Sirius couldn't help shouting: "No one wants to destroy this place. If anyone does, it must be me!"

He looked at Kyle again, "There's nothing to see here, but if you're interested, of course it's no problem, but you have to be careful not to wake up those portraits.

In addition, it is best not to go alone to the second underground floor and the third floor above. Luping and I have not checked these places and are not sure whether they are safe. "

"Don't touch the locked cabinet in the living room." Lupine suddenly said: "If my guess is correct, there should be a Boggart there."

He has never forgotten how exaggerated Kyle's way of dealing with the Boggart was. If it happened again, this place might be really ruined.

Kyle smiled. Last time it was purely because he was unprepared, and now that's what Boggart is to him.

However, he didn't explain anything. He just took out his wand and restored the ruins of the living room.

Sirius and Lupine also helped out.

With the three of us, the place quickly returned to its original state.

Kreacher finally stopped muttering under his breath, but still followed closely behind them, monitoring their every move.

"I was just going to ask." When they came to the corridor, Kyle looked at Sirius, "Did you buy a new wand?"

"Oh, you're talking about this?" Sirius raised his hand and shook the wand inlaid with gold and gems, "Of course not. I'm still wanted. How could I go to Diagon Alley to buy a wand?" .

It's an old wand I found in a storage cupboard. It doesn't work, but I have no other choice. "

Accompanied by Sirius, Kyle visited the foyer and every room on the second floor.

The lights here are very dim, and their shadows are illuminated on the wall, almost blending into the darkness. It looks like the lair of some evil wizard.

"When I was cleaning the house, the first thing I did was throw away all these lamps," Sirius said with a frown.

He hated places that were too dark, because dementors always floated out of the darkness without any warning.

If the surroundings are too dark, he will always subconsciously think of this bad memory.

After hearing his words, Kreacher, who was following behind, started talking again.

But Sirius didn't bother to talk to him this time. Anyway, before Harry moves in, all these old-fashioned gas lamps must be replaced. The room must be brightly lit, and there must be no blind spots.

After walking around in a circle, several people arrived at the living room on the second floor.

This was a large room, much larger than the living room they had stayed in before.

Kyle found the cabinet Lupine was talking about, right next to an armchair. It must have been used to store some important documents, but now it is occupied by a Boggart.

You can see the cabinet shaking slightly from a distance.

Kyle was not interested in the Boggart. He just glanced at it and looked away. In front of the opposite wall, there was a larger glass door cabinet with some strange things in it.

Kyle walked over.

“If one day I were to completely clean out my house, the first thing that would be thrown away would be what’s in it.”

Sirius stepped forward and said in a disgusted tone, "Almost all of them are dark magic items. They just like this and display it like a treasure..."

Kyle looked at the glass cabinet. In the middle was an open, dusty box with a medal of the Order of Merlin inside. Kyle also has one, but his belt is purple, while the one in front of him is green.

The Order of Merlin, First Class, was awarded to Sirius' grandfather for his "contributions to the Ministry of Magic."

"It means they were given a lot of gold." Sirius said contemptuously, "At that time, a dark wizard turned the magic world upside down, and they needed gold to recruit more Aurors."

"To be able to exchange for a first-class medal..." Kyle whispered, "The amount of gold must be huge."

"I don't know the exact amount." Sirius said, "It is said that half of the gold in the vault was exchanged for it. He thought that this would enhance the honor and status of the Black family."

"Half of the gold, it's really willing to spend!" Kyle smacked his lips in surprise and continued to read.

Next to the box was a silver snuff box. Kyle poked it with his wand, and it immediately split in the middle, turning into a big mouth to bite the wand, and at the same time sprayed a gray-brown powder.

This powder is very similar to one of Zuko's prank products. If it sticks to the body, it will form an ugly hard shell, but it is not harmful. A simple cleaning spell can remove them.

On the left is a particularly ugly silver utensil, like a spider with tweezers on its head, and it runs like a spider.

As soon as the cabinet door was opened, it wanted to run away, but was smashed by Sirius with a thick book.

A music box with a group of twisted shadows painted on it, which should not be a good thing.

A lot of ancient seals, which is quite normal,

And... At this time, Kyle's heart suddenly jumped twice.

He found it, in an inconspicuous corner, there was a golden pendant box.

...
