London, 12 Grimmauld Place.

It was a small square on the edge of a messy and barren meadow, and the surrounding houses looked eerie and dilapidated, looking like they were thousands of miles away, and many of the houses had broken windows that shimmered in the light of the street lamps.

Many of the houses were filled with garbage on the front door steps, and a pungent stench of rotting garbage filled the air of the square.

Since the end of World War II, most wizarding families have not had as comfortable life as they used to be.

The cost of wizards hiding in the Muggle world began to get higher and higher, and the procedures for wizards to change or buy new homes became more and more complicated.

As a result, wizarding families either chose to live alone in remote suburbs away from Muggle towns, or they chose some well-known wizarding colonies, but with the Dark Devils raging a decade ago, this form became less reliable.

It's just that, in this comparison, whether it is the clean and tidy privet road, or the luxurious and luxurious Malfoy Manor, it is obviously much better than this dilapidated mansion - as Dumbledore's figure disappeared into the night, Sirius Black's impulse and joy gradually dissipated, and a trace of worry began to appear in his heart.

Blake turned, walking up the tattered stone steps, thinking about what needed to be done next.

"The door definitely needs to be repaired later, but now there is no hurry, except for the black paint has fallen off, there are more scratches, and the door lock is a little insensitive, the magic of opening and closing the door continues to operate, and the main problem is still in the room. ”

Sirius Black wistfully stepped over the threshold and into the almost dark foyer.

The room was filled with a wet, dusty smell with a sweet smell of decay, which had been idle for ten years, and might have been completely uninhabitable if it hadn't been for Kreacher's presence.

Although from the current situation, it is still far from the standard of livability......

As he had told him, Harry and Draco stood in the hallway of the foyer not far from the entrance, not going too far or touching anything, just looking around with a little curiosity in the faint light.

These two children were much more obedient than when he and Potter were children.

After carefully observing the expressions on the faces of the two children, he did not see obvious disgust or disgust, which made Sirius Black, who was originally a little apprehensive, feel a little relieved, and he was not as nervous as before.

You know, let alone with children, Sirius Black hasn't even had a complete relationship yet.

Spending a month with his two children was a challenge, but thankfully Professor Dumbledore had just given him a suggestion that Sirius Black could tutor them at home for the next period of time, considering that both children had only finished their first year at Hogwarts.

In addition, Hogwarts will be offering some new general education courses starting in September.

Therefore, Professor Dumbledore also promised to send a few copies of the new curriculum materials that second-year wizards may need to learn in a few days, so that Sirius Black could tutor the children in advance to prepare, and by the way, learn about the new changes in Hogwarts.

After all, according to the previous statement, after the summer was over, Dumbledore gave Sirius Black a new job at Hogwarts - a trainee professor of Transfiguration, if he could pass Professor McGonagall's assessment and approval, he might be able to lead a group of little ones to class independently as soon as the next semester.

And this vacation time is just the right time for him to familiarize himself with the course, and on the other hand, he can also find the feeling of being a professor in Harry and Draco, so that he can quickly enter a better teaching state after the school starts.

Of course, Harry and Draco didn't know about these things yet.

For the two young wizards who managed to escape from their respective homes, although the big house of the Black family may seem a little unsettling, the exciting and fresh atmosphere is obviously much more interesting than the boring time spent at home.

It's just that since going through the "test of the Dark Magic" at the end of last semester, both Harry and Draco have developed a relatively good habit - not touching around in unfamiliar places, restraining curiosity, and listening to the advice and advice given by others are the best ways to protect themselves from strange magic traps.

"Well, that's good, the first rule at Black's house. ”

Glancing at the two little boys standing there with satisfaction, Blake nodded, lowering his voice.

"Be sure to be quiet when you're near the foyer, now let me get a little bit of light, and then we'll go upstairs and pack up your luggage and sleeping quarters, and by the way, I'll give you a brief introduction to the home. ”

As he spoke, Sirius waved his wand slightly.

There was a rustling sound in the room, and then a row of old-fashioned gas lamps on the wall lit up, casting a flickering and unreal glow on the peeling wallpaper and polished stalls of the long, eerie foyer.

Above them was a chandelier in the shape of a spider's web, with faint glow, and on the walls on either side hung portraits blackened by age, and the chandelier and the candelabra on a rickety table next to them were all made in the shape of a serpent, as if they were still alive.

Harry suddenly remembered what Draco had whispered to him just now, except for Sirius Black, the entire Black family, like the Malfoy family, had all graduated from Slytherin House.

"Especially...... If you don't want to face the ranting and invincing of the ancestors of the Black clan, and the elegant and easy-going greetings of my gentle and lovely old mother, you should never come near this ......."

Sirius Black led the two men through the hallway, his cheeks twitching as he passed the two long, insect-ridden curtains, and repeated it again as he looked at the two boys behind him nervously looking left and right.

As he walked up the dark staircase, the wall decorations beside him had turned into a pile of crumpled heads, and Harry managed to hold back the sound that he almost screamed out - all house-elf heads, each with a large ugly nose, and most of their faces still had a particularly hideous fanatical expression, which made people feel creepy.

At the same time, Harry felt that Draco's palms seemed to be starting to sweat as well.

Obviously, this kind of decoration that seems to only appear in the most evil dark wizard's lair is a very disturbing scene even for Draco Malfoy, who also comes from a wizarding family, after all, according to Malfoy, his father should be a decent wizard with social status, self-control, and close ties to the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts.

Harry swallowed, lowered his voice, and asked cautiously.

"Mr. Black, this room ...... These decorations ......"

"Shhh I know you must have a lot of question marks on your mind at the moment, and I'll explain it to you little by little when I get upstairs - as for the interior of this room, well, it's a Blake tradition......"

Sirius Black sighed helplessly, and as he spoke, he opened the door to the nearest bedroom on the second floor.

"Hey, this is so efficient, the luggage you need for the rest of the summer is already in here......"

"Luggage, our luggage is not ......"

Draco Malfoy frowned, and turned his head to look down the dark stairs, remembering that the pile of things he had packed from Harry's house was still piled up in the living room by the foyer.

"Oh, I don't mean the clothes. ”

Sirius Black smiled and shook his head, stepped out of the way, and pointed to the large packages piled on the floor, speaking in a cheerful tone that was like Christmas Santa Claus giving presents.

"Professor Dumbledore just said that he will ask that 'Round-faced Fat Chicken Express' to send me all the textbooks you will learn next semester and the new general education reference books in advance, which can reduce the frequency of our outings on the one hand, and on the other hand, it will not delay you from preparing for the next semester......"

It was a slightly clean-looking house, with two single beds side by side under high ceilings.

With Sirius Black's words, the two boys quickly glanced at the dimly lit room, and their eyes fell on the stack of unopened packages piled up in the center of the room, like a small fortress.

Harry Potter: "......"

Draco Malfoy: "......"

The joy of running away from home for the first time and staying overnight for the first time is fast disappearing.

Ever since they saw the pile, they knew better than Blake who was behind it, and most importantly, they didn't even have the right to say no now - there was a silver wing pattern printed directly above the package.

That is the exclusive mark of the eldest sister of Elena Kaslana, which means that it cannot be refused.

Of course, Draco and Harry also know very well that this is not so much a pressure, but can also be seen as a cheat sheet sent by the eldest sister in advance, as long as you follow the arrangement of the eldest sister, you will definitely stand out quickly and be one step ahead of others next semester.

At the same time, the same package also appeared in the homes of Hermione, Neville, Crabbe, Goyle, and others.

The pleasant summer study life has finally begun.
