Chapter 486: If the poor mistress knew the news, she would definitely be mad...

The group stepped onto the wizard's platform, where Sirius was already waiting for them.

Harry was the first to greet him and gave him a warm hug.

Sirius patted Harry on the shoulder, then looked at Ivan and spoke.

"Are you ready, Hals? We don't have to go to Kingdom Cross Station, we can just use Shapeshifting here..."

"Of course, anytime! But where do we teleport to? Ivan asked, of course he knew the exact address of Sirius's house, but the premise of the shapeshifter was that he had to go to that place, or else there might be a deviation.

"Oh, I almost forgot, then let Lupin take you!" Sirius said awkwardly.

Fortunately, Lupin would have gone this time, otherwise he wouldn't have enough magic to teleport the two of them to such a distance.

"Ivan, during the summer vacation, remember to write to me...", Hermione on the side suddenly reminded.

Then the little witch glared at him fiercely as if she remembered something. "Don't forget this time!"

"Of course, I promise! I'll write to you as soon as I get back, okay? Ivan nodded repeatedly, indicating that he had firmly remembered it.

Sirius watched with a smile, and after receiving an affirmative answer from Ivan, the little witch pushed her suitcase and walked with Ron through the wall connecting to the outside world to King's Cross Station.

As the crowd dispersed, Ivan, Lupin, Sirius, and Harry remained.

Like Ivan, Harry wasn't going to go straight home, but was going to stay with Sirius for a few days.

As for the Dursleys? Harry had Hedwig bring them a letter two days before, and when they learned the news, they were overjoyed and wished he would never go back.

"Let's go, this time the destination is Grimmauld Place!" Sirius took Harry's hand and said to Ivan and Lupin.

Lupin nodded, grabbed Ivan's wrist, and waved his wand!

"Apparition shifting!"

As the incantation was spoken, Ivan suddenly felt himself being sucked into a narrow space, his body whirling in it, and then being kicked out again a moment later.

When he came back to his senses, he found himself standing in the corner of the alley,

"We're lucky that no Muggles pass through here!" Sirius looked left and right, and when he saw that there was no one in the alley, he straightened his clothes and took the lead and walked out.

Ivan, Harry, and Lupin followed.

Outside the alley was a small square, which looked a little dilapidated, the stone bricks on the ground were cracked and unmanaged, and there were weeds stubbornly burrowing out of the cracks in the stone bricks, and only the horns of Muggle vehicles could be faintly heard in the distance.

"Sirius, are we there?" Harry asked.

"Yes, that's right! That's it, 12 Grimmauld Place..."Sirius said, looking at the mansions behind the plaza and pointing to the sign on one of the doors.

Ivan looked over and saw clearly the mansion Sirius was pointing to.

It seems that this place has not yet been designated as the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix, and has been subjected to the Loyalty Charm, otherwise he would have been invisible.

However, the old house has fallen into disrepair, the windows above are broken, the walls are even dirtier, and even the paint on the doors has peeled off.

Harry was also looking at it, with a look of astonishment on his face, obviously not expecting the Sirius family to be so dilapidated.

Sirius coughed lightly and hurriedly explained.

"Don't look at the appearance of this house, it's because no one has lived in it for too long, and when I take care of it with the repair spell and the dust removal spell, I can still live here very comfortably..."

"That's good, I can help later!" Harry didn't care what the mansion was like, it was just a bit of an accident.

Several people walked up the somewhat tattered steps to the door.

The style of the gate is very quaint, it is covered with a lot of scratches for some reason, the silver knocker is in the shape of a large coiled snake, and there is no keyhole on the door, and there is no mailbox.

Sirius drew his wand and knocked on the door, and there was a clattering of chains behind it, and a moment later the door creaked open.

"Alright, we can go in!"

Sirius led the way for Ivan and the others with a big grin, but after entering, his brow suddenly furrowed.

Because the house was pitch black, with the smell of mold and decay, the floor and surrounding walls were covered with thick dust, and some corners were covered with cobwebs, and it did not look like a habitable person at all.

Sirius had just noticed this, and his face suddenly became a little unbearable.

Although he had come back before, he was alone, and when he came back, he just took some things and left, and he didn't care if this place was dilapidated or not... Coupled with living in Hogwarts for a long time, I simply forgot about this stubble.

"Clean up!" Sirius hurriedly waved his wand and cast a spell.

A large amount of magic turned into a storm and raged throughout the living room, and countless dust and fine sand were blown into the air by the magic power, gathered into a ball of sand, and then flew out along the broken window.

The dimly lit living room was suddenly much cleaner, but it was still a little cluttered.

And Sirius, who casts the spell, will be tired enough to choke, gasping for breath, looking at the huge house, very weak.

For the first time, he wanted the house to be smaller so he could clean it...

"Looks like it's going to be a lot of work, so let's help out!" Lupin couldn't help but smile as he looked at Sirius's embarrassed appearance.

"Well, we can clean it separately so fast!" Ivan also suggested that he could take this opportunity to find out where the Horcrux was placed.

Ivan was sure it was in this room, but he couldn't even remember the exact location.

"What about me? I haven't learned that kind of magic yet..."Harry asked with some awkwardness, Sirius and the others seemed to have a different idea of cleaning, and it should be magic.

But he doesn't know how to dust the spell at all...

"It doesn't matter, just follow me, I'll teach you personally!" Sirius rested for a while, then relieved himself, looked at Harry and said comfortingly.

Just as everyone was about to act, a low, thin voice suddenly sounded.

“... What a disgusting smell of life, and the obnoxious loser stepped into the noble Black house with some scumbag friends.

The poor hostess would have been mad if she had known the news... Poor old Kreacher can't stop them, what can it do..."
