Chapter 31: Blake's Will

In the afternoon, a man and a woman stepped onto the privet road. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The info man wears a heavy black trench coat, which is a weird outfit in the summer. He took the girl's hand and strode across the lawn and street lamps.

Some Muggles either secretly looked at each other or whispered to their families about who the strangers were looking for.

The doorbell suddenly rang at No. 4 Privet Road, and there was a commotion in the house.

"Good afternoon, you must be Mr. Dursley. I'm sure Potter must have told you I'm coming, didn't I?" Phoenix shook hands with Dursley, "This is Hermione, we're their classmates. Come and see what he accomplishes by the way. ”

Hermione smiled generously at Dursley, but all his attention was on Phoenix's anachronistic outfit.

"Come in—" The veins in his head throbbed. He barely managed to squeeze out a smile at his curious neighbor, and then slammed the door shut.

Phoenix said kindly and easily, "Thank you." In turbulent times, it would be unwise to linger at the door for too long. ”

"How are you, Potter?" Phoenix looked past Dursley, and Hermione happily hugged Harry.

Vernon Dursley's eyes wandered back and forth between Hermione and Phoenix.

"I don't mean to be rude—" he said, with every syllable of his words being rude.

"Oh, of course. My name is Bond, James Bond. Phoenix took off his trench coat, revealing the cartoon T-shirt inside, and looked around in place, apparently not finding what he was looking for, "Where's the hanger?"

This is the T-shirt that Harry realizes is wearing in the shape of a cartoon pet dog in Phoenix, which is the same as Hermione.

"I told don't follow the one you see on the billboards. Hermione explained awkwardly, "You don't have to be nervous, he's just—"

Vernon Dursley was silent. The veins in his temples were bursting, but he couldn't seem to tell if Phoenix was playing him tricks.

"Ah, this must be your aunt," Phoenix wiped the sweat from his forehead, "or is there anything that needs to be done politely, by the way?"

The kitchen door opened, and Harry's aunt was standing, her long horse's face full of horror.

Dudley poked his head out of the living room door, his big yellow-haired head poking out of the collar of his striped pajamas, as if it wasn't on his body. Phoenix waited for a moment, as if to hear what the Dursleys had to say, but they remained silent.

Several people in the hallway looked at each other, and Phoenix winked at Potter. The latter immediately understood what he meant.

"Shall we go to the living room?"

"So welcoming. Phoenix said immediately. Harry couldn't help but laugh.

Phoenix still didn't see a hanger in the living room, so he pulled out his wand and conjured a wooden hanger in the living room, drawing a nice curve of his trench coat and hanging it on.

Dudley screamed in horror and disappeared into the living room.

"How dare you be in my house - with that kind of thing!" Dursley rushed at this moment like an angry bull, afraid of Phoenix's wand and afraid to get too close.

His beard twitched, and he was visibly furious.

"Don't worry, I have acquaintances in the Department of Misuse of Magic, so I won't be in trouble. ”

Phoenix and Hermione sat down in the armchairs closest to the fireplace, surveying everything in the room with interest.

"We—are you going to take me to the Burrow?" asked Harry anxiously. I desperately wanted Phoenix to answer yes.

"In the morning, Phoenix spoke to Mr. Weasley that they were casting protective magic on the Burrow, and it would probably be some time coming. Hermione said.

Harry sat down in the other armchair, trying not to look at the Dursleys, who seemed too frightened to speak. He secretly wondered if they were wizards in Phoenix, and he was worried that Dursley would put on a swagger.

"What do you want to drink?" said Harry, intending to take advantage of the opportunity to tease Uncle Vernon.

"Forget it, I'll do it myself. Phoenix waved his wand again, and a dirty bottle and three glasses appeared in the air. The bottle automatically turned to its side and filled each cup with a honey-colored liquid, and the cups floated to everyone in the room.

"Hermione's parents were dentists and they were very welcoming to me. You're being so undisciplined. ”

"He didn't mean that, he said—" Hermione explained, glaring at Phoenix. I couldn't find a better word to describe the Dursleys.

"Elderflower, I wish you a happy birthday—it's a little late," Phoenix said with a glass to Harry, "and Hermione said she had sent you a present for me." ”

"Yes, thank you. Harry waited for him to come next.

"I'll tell you first that Blake's will was discovered by Professor Moody, who left everything he had to you. ”

"Oh, yes. Harry replied flatly. Phoenix glanced at Hermione, who looked at Harry with some concern.

"It's pretty much simple," Phoenix continued, "you've added a chunk of gold to your Gringotts account, and you've inherited all of Sirius' personal belongings. The somewhat problematic part of the legacy is—"

"His godfather is dead?" Dursley asked, still standing still, "is he dead?"

"Yes. "The problem now is," he continued, as if he hadn't been interrupted, "and Blake has left you 12 Grimmauld Place." ”

"You can keep it as your headquarters. Harry said, "I don't care. You can use it, I don't really need it. ”

"That's so generous. "But we're out of the house for the time being." ”

"Why?"

"That's right," Phoenix continued, ignoring Uncle Vernon's muttering, "we can't guarantee that the multiple magical effects will cause conflict in that house, and maybe Narcissa will be able to get in as well." This involves some complex principles of magic technology that you certainly don't understand as far as I know about you. All in all, his will makes it clear that he wants to leave the house to you, but the place may have been cast with some magic or spell to ensure that no one who is not a pure-blood will occupy it. ”

"That's for sure. He said.

"Yes, my castle has similar magic. If you don't have the surname Peverell, you can't inherit it, and usually he closes himself off. If a family member has died, it will never appear again. Phoenix said.

"Luckily, we came up with an easy solution. Hermione said. (To be continued.) )
