After Sirius left, he met Levin at the other end of the corridor.

"Sorry, it took a while to get to know Harry and I kept you waiting."He said apologetically

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't take long to get to know your godson. Levin smiled and waved his hand,"I said, I'm not in a hurry about remuneration.""

"But I don't want to delay it too late. Blake was still a little impatient and didn't want to owe others,"If it's appropriate, why don't you just accept it with me now?""

Anyway, today is the weekend and there are no classes to attend. Levin nodded and agreed.

So he followed Sirius and left Hogwarts in a big way.

The little wizards who saw Sirius on the way were all very surprised. No, I can’t believe that the protagonist in the newspaper actually showed up, and everyone gathered to watch.

"It’s been a long time since I’ve had this feeling of being the center of attention! Sirius said jokingly,"The last time someone pursued me so much was the Dementors. Levin appreciated his optimistic mood very much.

After leaving Hogwarts, Levin followed Black and apparated directly to the Black family's old home, No. 12 Grimmauld Place..

At this time, it has not become the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix and is hidden. Levin can directly see its appearance.

This old house is completely inconsistent with its actual status.

It has dirty walls and gloomy Window.

They walked up the broken stone steps and found that the black paint on the door of this old house was peeling off and covered with scratches on the left and right. The silver door knocker was in the shape of a coiled snake.

There was no keyhole on the door. There was no mailbox either.

Blake took out his wand - which he had bought yesterday - and knocked on the door.

Levin heard a lot of loud metal clanging sounds and a rattling sound like chains.

The door creaked. Opened.

They crossed the threshold and walked into the almost dark foyer.

Levin smelled a damp, dusty smell, and a sweet smell of decay.

The place felt like An abandoned and empty house.

Then, he heard a rustling sound, and then a row of old-fashioned gas lamps on the wall lit up, casting a swaying unreal light, illuminating the long and gloomy entrance hall. There were peeling wallpapers and frayed carpets.

A spiderweb-shaped chandelier overhead shimmered, and some portraits blackened by age hung crookedly on the wall. The chandelier and a nearby The candelabra 433 on the rickety table were all made into the shape of a big snake.

Just as Levin was looking at the dilapidated old house, there was a huge explosion, and a slovenly house elf Appeared in front of them.

It was Kreacher, the house elf of the Black family.

Except for a dirty rag around his waist, like the loincloth used by men in tropical countries to cover their bodies, he was almost naked.

His appearance He is very old and seems to have many times more skin than his body actually needs. Although his head is bald like all house elves, his two big bat-like ears have a lot of growth. White hair.

His eyes are bloodshot, watery and gray, and his fleshy nose is big, almost like a pig's nose.

"Ah, it’s the young master!"Kreacher's two light-colored eyes suddenly widened, but the gaze he looked at Sirius was filled with unforgettable hatred.

Immediately, Kreacher immediately bowed deeply, his body was ridiculously low, as big as a pig's nose. His nose was flattened to the ground.

Then he said in a soft but clear voice,"The young master is a disgusting, ungrateful and filthy man who broke his mother's heart - oh, my poor mistress, she The man who swore not to recognize his son is back again. It is said that he is still a murderer.——"

Levin held back a smile and looked at Blake.

He seemed to be able to see the beating veins on Blake's forehead.

"My mother has no heart, Kreacher," said Sirius irritably."She lives solely on resentment."

"No matter what the young master says," he muttered indignantly,"the young master is not even qualified to clean the soles of his mother's shoes. Oh, my poor mistress, what will she say if she sees the young master? How the mistress hates him, what a disappointment he is——"

Kreacher bowed again as he spoke.

"Stand up quickly," Sirius said impatiently,"Okay, what do you want to do?"

"I am guarding the mistress's home," the elf said again,"Kreacher will serve the noble Black family all his life.——"

The elf straightened up and looked at them with evil eyes, evidently believing that they could not hear him, for he went on talking again.

"The prodigal son also brought back a little cub, and Kreacher didn't know his name. What is he doing here? Kreacher doesn't know……"

"Okay, are you relieved now? Let's go, Kreacher."Sirius said coldly.

The elf looked at Black in disbelief, as if he did not dare to disobey the direct order.

However, when he dragged his feet and walked out, he let out an earth-shattering wail,"From Azkaban When he came back, he gave Kreacher a thumbs up, and he even brought back a little cub."

"Kreacher must protect this family. Kreacher will never let the young master and that brat destroy this family.——"Kreacher, who had disappeared around the corner, was still wailing.

"Shut up, Kreacher! If you keep howling, I will really kill someone!"Sirius shouted irritably.

He picked up an umbrella stand and threw it in the direction of Kreacher as if to vent his anger.

"Oh, crap, I forgot——"

Before Blake could finish his words, he was drowned out by a terrible, deafening, blood-curdling scream.

The two velvet curtains covered with insect holes suddenly spread apart without the suppression of the umbrella stand.

But there is no door at the back.

For a moment, Levin thought it was a window. Behind the window, an old lady wearing a black hat was screaming desperately, one sound after another, as if she was being tortured.—

"brute! Bitch! Dirty and sinful bastard! Bastards, freaks, and uglies, get out of here! How dare you desecrate my ancestor's home?——"

Then Levin realized that it was only a life-size portrait, but he had never seen one so realistic and so unpleasant in his life.

Behind them in the hall the other portraits were awakened and began to scream so loudly that they were deafened.

"Shut up, you horrible old witch, shut up!"Blake rushed up and grabbed the curtain.

The old lady suddenly turned pale.

"you you!"As soon as she saw Sirius, her eyes widened and she shouted sternly,"Prodigal son, the disgrace of the family, the evil seed I gave birth to!"

"I said - shut up!"Sirius roared. After a lot of effort, he finally closed the curtain again.

Levin stretched out his wand and pointed at the umbrella stand in the distance,"The umbrella stand is coming."

The umbrella stand flew straight towards him.

Levin caught the umbrella stand. It was so heavy!

Caught off guard, Levin almost let go.

This umbrella stand was actually made of the troll's leg bones.

He pressed the umbrella stand against The old lady's scream disappeared.

But the surrounding portraits were still screaming.

Levin used his wand to cast a stun spell on the other portraits, and there was an echoing silence in the room.

"Well done! Breathing slightly, and pushing away the long black hair that blocked his eyes, Sirius turned to look at Levin

"Levin," he said with a straight face,"now you have met my mother. Levin didn't know what expression to make, so he had to pretend to be stupid and said:"Yours?""

"Yes, my dear good mother."She kicked me out of the Black family," said Sirius."

"Why would she hang the portrait here? asked Levine

"Maybe like Kreacher, protecting the oldest and noble Black family or something. I keep trying to get her off, but she seems to have cast a permanent sticking spell on the back of the canvas of her portrait. Maybe I should go to Knockturn Alley and find a special potion to break the spell."(To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Levin found that Sirius's tone was very stiff and cold.

But through psychic induction, Levin understood that this was not the case.

The colder Sirius appeared on the surface, In fact, she was very hurt inside.

Just like the old woman on this tapestry, Levin turned his head, his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the curtain and see the portrait inside.

Obviously he wanted to see his son as soon as possible , but always couldn't help but use curses instead of caring.

This family is really awkward.

Sirius walked to the other end of the room, where a shabby, dirty tapestry covered the entire wall.

Levin followed Go over and look at it carefully. The tapestry looks very old, and the color has faded, as if foxes have bitten it in several places.

However, the gold thread embroidered on it is still shining, and Levin can clearly see a picture. The branching family tree can be traced back to the Middle Ages.

On the top of the tapestry are embroidered a few large words:

The oldest and noble Black family, forever pure

"You're not on top."Levin looked at the bottom line of the family tree and said

"Was on it."Sirius said, pointing to a small blackened round hole on the tapestry, like a cigarette burn mark.

"My dear old mother destroyed me after I ran away from home - Kreacher loved to whisper this story"

"Did you run away from home?"

"I was about sixteen," said Sirius,"and I had had enough"

"Where have you been? Levin asked, staring at him.

Sirius suddenly fell silent for a long time before he said:"James's house." Levin raised his head and pretended to be suddenly interested in this tapestry.

However, in his previous life, he only came from an ordinary family in the Dragon Kingdom.

In this life, he was an orphan at the beginning.

No matter in his previous life or this life, he could not understand the relationship between such a big family. mentality, maybe in the distant future, one of his unscrupulous descendants will also write his name on such a tapestry and be proud of it.

But he always feels that instead of inheriting the glory of the family, it is better to create his own His own glory.

He glanced at the tapestry and saw familiar names on it, such as Malfoy's mother Narcissa, and Tonks' mother, Andromeda, but her place was a burnt little round spots

"I hate them all."Black murmured to himself, as if he was reminiscing, but also as if he was confiding,"My parents are crazy about pure blood. They believe that people from the Black family are born noble... My stupid brother, his temperament Too weak to believe what they said...that was him."

Sirius stretched out a finger and pointed at the name at the bottom of the family tree:

Regulus Black.

After the date of birth there was a date of death (about fifteen years ago).

Sirius also bent down and looked more carefully. He looked at the tapestry.

As reflected by his psychic powers, Sirius may have fallen out with his family because of his pure-blood philosophy, but this does not mean that he does not love his family and does not want the warmth of his family.

"This is my brother, a fool."Sirius noticed Levin's gaze and stroked the area embroidered with Regulus Black's name.

"He's younger than me," said Sirius,"and I'm constantly reminded that his son is much better than me."

"But this stupid idiot...he joined the ranks of the Death Eaters."

But Levin knew that this was actually just a disguise. It was Regulus Black who found another of Voldemort's"horcruxes" at the cost of his life."

"Are your parents also Death Eaters? asked Levine

"No, no, but believe me, they think Voldemort's ideas are correct. They all agree to maintain the purity of wizard blood, get rid of Muggle-born people, and let pure-blood people hold power."

After a pause, Sirius continued:"Of course, they are not unique. Before Voldemort revealed his true face, many people thought that his claims on some things were correct.……"

Levine became increasingly convinced that Sirius might have hated his parents' ideals, but not really hated them.

"I haven't watched this in years"[]

"This is Phineas Nigellus...my great-great-grandfather, see? …is the most unpopular headmaster in the history of Hogwarts……"

But in his time, an unparalleled and terrifying demon king appeared in Hogwarts, and he single-handedly almost wiped out the"Fire Serpent Party" of poachers and dark wizards that were rampant at the time.

Levin added inwardly, thinking of the huge hole beneath Hogwarts.

"And Araminta Melifren... my mother's cousin... tried to force through a Ministry of Magic decree legalizing the killing of Muggles.……"

"And my dear Aunt Eladora... she started the family tradition of decapitating house elves when they got too old to carry their plates.……"

"Of course, whenever a decent person appears in the family, they sever ties with him."

"I saw Tonks's mother's name was on it too, but it was burned like yours."Levine pointed out

"Oh, yes, Andromeda is my favorite cousin," Sirius said happily,"Speaking of which, Tonks and I are still related."

"That's pretty cool. Levin smiled at him,"Sister Tonks and her parents take good care of me, but don't expect me to call you uncle because of this.""

"What a coincidence."Sirius is also very happy. Since Andromeda also recognizes Levin, it means that he is indeed a good child and is not as vigilant as Dumbledore said.

He still remembers that Dumbledore picked him up yesterday. Later, he emphatically reminded him of the potential dangers of Levin.

However, his own experience of being rescued and his relationship with his cousin made him increasingly disapproving of these words.

"Unfortunately, I didn't recognize Nymphadora when we were in the Shrieking Shack before."Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sigh.

"The last time I saw her, she was still a 9-year-old child. I didn't expect that she would become such an outstanding Auror in a blink of an eye. Those people all listened to her at that time, right?"

"Yes, Tonks is sister Gianna's right-hand man. Levin suggested,"But it's not too late for you to go back and get to know her again.""

"That's right. After returning home after so many years, it's time to visit more often."Blake nodded in agreement."But before that, let's hurry up and fulfill our promise."
