Harry Potter and the Old Ones
Chapter 219: 12 Grimmauld Place
The streets of London are always cold during Christmas, and most Britons prefer to stay at home unless necessary, and enjoy the happy time of unpacking gifts with their families.
A young man of Chinese descent, wearing a robe that is quite strange to the eyes of modern people, is walking on the streets of northwest London.
"Tiera", or Sirius, looked around while walking, looking quite nervous—
"Don't look at it."
When Sirius passed by a shop window, the reflection in the shop window suddenly smiled and said:
"I'm right by your side, you go directly to Twelve Grimmauld Place, where I've taken care of it."
Then the reflection in the window returned to normal.
Sirius Black was startled, and the hand holding the wand tightened a little bit.
Twelve Grimmauld Place was just over twenty minutes' walk from King's Cross Station, but it took Sirius forty minutes—
Because Sirius took a little detour, and walked around Grimmauld Place again, however—
No, not a single Auror, as if the Ministry of Magic suddenly had a good conscience and decided to give all Aurors a vacation, and Sirius Black couldn't see the whole block except the Muggle kids playing snowball fights with each other. any wizard—
"How did you do it?" asked Sirius, standing in front of a window. "Why no Aurors?"
"This shouldn't be your consideration, right?" said Tiera in the reflection, and then Tiera in the reflection returned to normal, and then—
A door of light appeared in front of Sirius Black.
Tiera walked out of the door of light, wearing a bright red dress and holding a huge mysterious thick book in her hand.
"Let's go, take me there." Saying that, Tiera waved--
Sirius Black's protagonist's whole body was in pain, the sound of bone changes and the sound of flesh and blood squirming came from Black's body, and after a few seconds——
The reflection of Sirius Black appeared in the window, wearing an oversized Hogwarts uniform.
"By the way, I used Transfiguration to make your clothes a little bigger." Tiera said, "Don't forget to change it for me when you get back to Black's old house."
"How did you do it?" Sirius Black straightened up and asked after the initial pain. "That mirror, and the potion you gave me."
"This is not something you need to care about." Tiera said, "The times have changed, and you have no idea how far the technology in the magic world has developed now."
"But as far as I know... the technology of the magic world has not changed." Sirius said stubbornly, "so I want to know how you did it?"
"That's not your concern," Tiera said. "Please, Mr. Black, it's time to keep your promise."
After Tiera finished saying those words, the golden filaments on Sirius' right arm suddenly ached like a burning flame—
"Okay, keep up," said Sirius Black, turning and walking towards the position between Eleven and Fourteen Grimmauld Place—
At the beginning of its establishment, the row building did not have No. 13, but jumped directly from No. 12 to No. 14. After the Black family moved here, No. 12 was hidden by the ancestors of the Black family with magic——
Therefore, in the eyes of most people, only the eleventh and the fourteenth can be seen.
Even Tierra is no exception.
This does not seem to be a pure Faithful Charm, but mixed with other types of space and spiritual magic.
But when Tiera followed Sirius Black and walked directly toward Nos. 11 and 14 Grimmauld Place—
Tiera seemed to have penetrated a hazy fog and saw a black lacquered door covered with scratches. The silver door handle was in the shape of a large coiled snake. There was no keyhole on the door, and no Mailbox, but there is a doorbell that will wake up the portrait of Mrs. Walburga Black in the house.
From the outside, the house looked dirty and messy, and the windows were filthy.
Sirius drew his wand and tapped on the door.
"ToujoursPur" Sirius said in disgust—
This is the motto engraved on the Black family coat of arms, which means "forever pure" in French.
Tiera heard a loud, metallic click from the door, like the sound of countless metal mechanisms turning, and a few seconds later, the dilapidated door of Twelve Grimmauld Place creaked slowly. slowly opened-
Revealing a porch that is more shabby and conformed on the inside than on the outside.
Tiera followed Sirius Black into the almost completely darkened porch, the thick smell of dust and decaying wood wafting through her.
Tiera felt as if she had stepped into a grave, and the old house of the Black family was full of staleness, oldness and decay.
Sirius waved his wand lightly, and out of nowhere came a soft hiss, and then all the gas lights on the walls came on.
Faint beams of light cast on the mottled wallpaper, illuminating a tattered carpeted hallway, at the top of which a cobweb-covered tree-shaped decorative lamp flickers, and old blackened Portraits hang on the curved walls.
"This is the old home of the Black family," said Sirius.
"Bam—"
The door of Blake's old house slammed shut behind Tiera, and Tiera also heard the sound of countless metal mechanisms being locked.
But Tiera didn't care much, but looked at this dilapidated old house——
This is a typical pure-blood family mansion~lightnovelpub.net~ The decorations that can be seen everywhere are hundreds of years old-
Should be worth more than what I found in the Room of Requirement.
Tiera judged and regretted that at the same time, she should have directly asked for all the things in Black's old house.
"Let's go, let's go around." Sirius said hurriedly, "Take whatever you want, we will complete the transaction soon."
Tiera crossed Sirius Black, followed the porch, around a large umbrella stand that looked like it was made from a broken leg of a troll, and came to a staircase leading upstairs, the worn floor beneath Tiera's feet. A crunching sound echoed in this ancient, empty old house.
Just as Tiera was about to step up the stairs full of cobwebs—
An ugly, aging house-elf emerged from the darkness by the stairs, draped in only a dirty rag, hunched over the duvet, staring at Sirius Black in surprise, and then using his pair of Bloodshot, big gray eyes looked at Tiera.
Those big watery eyes were instantly stained with a hint of disgust—
