Chapter 852 How Did You Bring Hermione Here?
Surrounded by tall crumbling dilapidated houses on all sides, in the center of the dilapidated small square, as a door to another world appeared out of thin air, five figures appeared in Grimmauld Place. The elephant is completely invisible.
Allen ordered the death knight Lynch, who was wearing black-toned metal armor and a Viking half-covered butterfly mask made of metal, and fully armed behind him: "Lynch, take your people and wait outside. "
"I see." Lynch let himself and the other two death knights stand guard in the front yard, and the surrounding Muggles could only feel some coldness coming from here when they passed by.
Seeing Hermione's probing eyes on him, Allen explained: "Black's ancestral home, most of the homes of these pure-blood families have traps and alarms for undead creatures or other dark creatures, and they will directly bring them back to you." It's not very polite for Sirius to go in..." Allen asked after explaining to Hermione beside him, "Have you brought anything?"
"It's all in there, do you want to drink it now?" Hermione patted her pocket, "I choose sugar-free."
"Okay, let's go." After saying that, Allen took the lead and walked up the stone steps. He knocked on the front door with his wand. They waited patiently for a while, only to hear a series of loud sounds of metal impacts, and something like There was a rattling sound from the chain, and then the building moved from the middle to the sides, and the additional door creaked open, and Sirius appeared in front of the door with a gloomy and slightly excited face.
"Alan, you are finally willing to come!" Sirius couldn't wait to pull towards Alan, "I waited for you to come to me after most of the semester!"
Allen was a little annoyed at the other party's tone that could easily misunderstand Hermione. He staggered a step and avoided Sirius' pull. Hermione, who was originally standing behind him, appeared in front of Sirius.
"Hermione?" Sirius nodded to Hermione in astonishment, and looked at Allen, "Didn't you still let me keep it a secret? Why did you bring Hermione here?"
Allen looked at Hermione and began to giggle very dissatisfied with Hermione. He glared at the thin black-haired wizard: "Sirius... think before you speak..."
"Okay, okay, Hermione, good evening~" Greeted Hermione, Sirius thought of Kreacher, a house-elf who held the "pure-bred" theory of wizards in his family, and he didn't care about Kreacher's previous betrayal. But angry, he ignored his situation for a long time, turned around and yelled like Mrs. Molly into the room: "Kreacher, you are not allowed to come out, hide it for me!"
"Come in and talk." Sirius moved out of the way, making an inviting gesture. After Alan and the others walked in, the door was closed with a bang.
The old-fashioned gas lamps were all lit at once, and the porch was a long corridor with peeling wallpaper, worn carpet, gas lamps and a cobweb chandelier and chandeliers in the shape of a large snake.
There were some portraits on the walls, darkened with age, but the portrait of Mrs. Walburga Black, who had been permanently affixed, had been moved to another room by him, along with the brick wall behind, otherwise it would Wake up, and she screams in the most horrific voice, cursing everyone around her, and trying to wake up the other portraits so they start screaming too—most of the porch decorations It was in the shape of a snake, but there was also an umbrella stand made of troll legs, which Tonks used to wake up Mrs Black by knocking over it carelessly every time he came by.
They followed a staircase leading upstairs to the living room on the second floor. The long hallway was dimly lit and looked eerie, and the heads of the house-elf cast strange shadows on the stairs-even if they had known the Blake family's home for a long time. Passing on customs and several years of growth, but it also made Hermione a little unacceptable. Allen hugged her and gave Hermione a hug before they moved on.
"Be careful where you step, the dog Kreacher will always receive some crazy instructions from my mother's portrait, making the house that Mr. Handy has just tidied up continue to be messy.
"Sirius frowned in disgust, snorted coldly, and complained, "Alan, a house elf who betrayed its master has no value in existence. You still want such a thing?" Golems like Mr. Skillful Hands are much easier to use than ugly things like house elves! "
Just as Sirius' voice fell and Hermione tried to express her ideas about it, under the blue light of the gas lamp, Mrs. Black screamed throughout the house from a room on the stairs: "Mudblood! Dirty goods! Scum! How dare you defile my ancestors' house—”
"Kreacher! He must have told the old witch." Sirius roared, and rushed to her mother's room where he had moved his mother's portrait.
"Sirius, it's okay, I don't care, Kreacher is out of his mind, he doesn't understand what he's doing, don't punish him!" Hermione shouted quickly from behind, her eyes full of worry.
"This ugly thing knows what he's doing! He did it on purpose." Sirius' voice was full of disgust, and soon, Sirius and his mother scolded each other in the room, "Shut up, old witch, die!" Don't stop!"
"Beasts, bitches, dirty and vile bastards, bastards, freaks, get out of here!" The old lady screamed desperately, as if she was being tortured, it sounded horrific. Creepy.
"Put away your crazy pure-blood theory, stupid idiot." Sirius snapped disdainfully.
"You idle, ungrateful bastard..." The door slammed shut, and the arguing between Sirius and Mrs. Black's portrait ended abruptly.
"Don't worry, Hermione, this is how their mother and child communicate, and they use this method to maintain their relationship and vent their emotions." Allen comforted Hermione, who looked worried, "This is how their family is, Hogwarts. The most annoying portrait in Principal Ci's office, Phineas Nigellus Black, who was also named the most unpopular principal in history, cared a lot about his superficially annoying great-grandson Woolen cloth."
Not long after, Sirius came over, followed by Mr. Handy, and picked up some decorations, clothes and even vegetable leaves that Kreacher had thrown around.
"Huh? Why didn't you go in? Don't be polite and treat this as your own home." Sirius shook his head, and as Alan said, he looked much more relaxed, and greeted Alan and Hermione into what used to be Gorgeous and sophisticated living room.
Sirius has Mr. Handy to take care of him, and he doesn't want to pay attention to house-elves, and as a bachelor, his niece Tonks and Lupine confirmed their relationship. Afterwards, the frequency of his family dropped a lot. His communication in this old house It was just the portraits of the Black family, especially his mother - Harry had to wait until Hogwarts for the holidays to come.
Mr. Skillful, who knew nothing about these complicated thoughts and emotions of human beings, continued to clean the room on the first floor dutifully, and his long arms quickly sorted out everything he encountered on the road.
