Chapter 196: There's a problem with this locket

12 Grimmauld Place, the ancestral home of the Black family, a house hidden by magic.

Many wizards' homes and important places are protected by magic, either hidden or, like Hogwarts, to Muggles, a pile of dilapidated buildings.

The Black family's house is one of the hidden ones, except that it has not been hidden by the Loyalty Charm at the moment, but instead uses a spell similar to the Cauldron Bar.

When Zhang Xu saw this house for the first time, the first image was - the unfinished building.

"Wild grass and flowers by the Vermilion Bird Bridge, and the sunset at the mouth of Wuyi Alley."

Looking at the dilapidated house, Zhang Xu read a poem in a low voice.

Dirty walls, grim windows and tattered stone steps make the house look dilapidated after a decade of inhabitation.

Walking through the door, a damp, musty smell hits your face.

The original luxurious decoration in the house has been worn down by the erosion of time.

The group followed Black into the porch, where Harry, who was walking behind him, accidentally touched the moldy curtains hanging on the wall.

"You! The son of a ruined family, the shame of the family, the seed of iniquity that I gave birth! ”

A woman's shrill scream suddenly rang out in the porch.

Everyone looked at the source of the sound, and it was a portrait of an elderly noblewoman.

Blake, who was just in front of the portrait, suddenly broke out, turned around and yelled at the portrait, "Shut up! Shut up, you old witch! ”

Blake scolded her as he tried to rehang the fallen curtain over the portrait.

After a while, Blake, with Lupin's help, finally put the portrait back on.

When the shouting and cursing on the porch had died down, Blake turned to the crowd and said, "Well, you've seen my mother." ”

The Harry trio was taken aback, it was the first time they had seen Blake's family who could talk.

Scarlet, who was walking beside Zhang Xu, sighed in a low voice and said, "Her temper is still so short-tempered. ”

Zhang Xu glanced at her in surprise, she shrugged her shoulders and said, "When I was young, our two families came and went, and she always wanted to marry our family. ”

Zhang Tochuan Conan immediately thought that it seemed that Blake had failed to pursue Scarlett back then, and it is estimated that in addition to Blake's desire to hold gold bricks in the female junior, there was also the meaning of Blake's fucking.

As they walked through the porch and up the stairs on the second floor, Hermione screamed in horror at the heads of house-elves hanging on the wall.

Cutting off the head of an old house-elf and hanging it on the wall was the first of its kind by the Black family.

After pacifying Hermione, everyone made their way to the living room on the second floor.

As soon as I walked into the living room, the sound of "Didi" sounded in the living room.

The Horcrux detector alarm in the hands of Zhang Xu, Harry and the others made a loud noise, and the red arrow displayed on it pointed to a glass case next to the fireplace in the living room at the same time.

Everyone followed the instructions of the Horcrux detector and walked to the glass case.

Standing in front of the glass cabinet, Zhang Xu felt a hint of strangeness, and there seemed to be a voice calling to him in the glass cabinet.

In the surprised eyes of everyone, Zhang Xu stepped forward and opened the dirty door of the glass cabinet, and then took out a beautiful locket from the inside.

The egg-sized locket was identical in shape to the one drawn on the parchment that Scarlet had taken out earlier.

"Don't come here, there's something wrong with this locket."

Zhang Xu waved his hand to stop Dumbledore who stepped forward to take the locket.

The next moment, a layer of white light lit up on Zhang Xu's body, and at the same time, his body trembled a few times.

Then, Zhang Xu, who was braving white light, put the locket box on a coffee table in the living room, and then sat on the sofa next to the coffee table.

After putting down the locket, a few people next to him found that Zhang Xu's right palm holding the locket just now seemed to be burned, and a big blister grew.

At this time, the white light on Zhang Xu's body gradually disappeared.

Zhang Xu rubbed his sore head with his okay left hand, then took out a porcelain bottle and suffocated the medicine inside, then leaned on the sofa with his eyes closed and gasped for a few breaths before coming back to his senses.

Zhang Xu, who was closing his eyes, suddenly felt that his injured right palm was held up by a soft little hand, and then felt a coolness coming from his right palm.

Opening his eyes, Zhang Xu saw that Scarlet was concentrating on treating his burned paws.

"I was accidentally hit." Zhang Xu shook his head and said to Dumbledore who was standing in the middle of the living room.

At this time, Zhang Xu saw Harry Potter sitting on the sofa opposite the living room, covering the scar on his head.

After a while, after Zhang Xu and Harry, the two unlucky guys, returned to normal, everyone was on the sofa in the living room, waiting for Zhang Xu to tell him what had just happened.

"Horcruxes have a consciousness of their own." Zhang Xu said after organizing the language.

"The soul in a Horcrux can confuse and lure those who come into contact with it through excuses and means such as satisfying your desires. For example, that diary from previous years. ”

"There's something special about this Horcrux, it's very powerful and more active. I don't know why, but it just took the initiative to find me and try to seduce me. ”

"If I hadn't been prepared, I might have been in trouble."

"Why did it find you?" Scarlett, who was sitting next to Zhang Xu, asked a question that everyone wanted to ask.

"I don't know." Zhang Xu shrugged his shoulders and said, "It stands to reason that it should go to Harry." ”

Zhang Xu himself thought it was very strange, he remembered that this locket was in the "plot", and in the future, he confused Ron, who had a flaw in his heart, and gave the audience a little benefit before it was destroyed in the movie.

If the locket box wants to make trouble, the most important thing to look for is one of the egg yolks in the Double Yolk Egg Man, or the two underage wizards Ron and Hermione, there is no reason to find him, a person who is separated from Voldemort in Eurasia.

The wizards in the living room also thought the same way, no one would think that there was any connection between Zhang Xu and Voldemort, and everyone was puzzled for a while.

At the same time, no one dared to touch the locket.

"Ron, try to open it and see." Zhang Xu said to Ron.

"Why me?" Ron asked, confused.

"If you're controlled by it, we can easily subdue you. Do you want us to do something to Hermione then? Zhang Xu said to Ron.

Although Zhang Xu said it was very reasonable, Ron wanted to hit someone when he heard it. Suddenly, he noticed that he couldn't win any of the people in the living room.

Ron walked over with a black line and picked up the locket on the coffee table in front of Zhang Xu.

After Ron picked up the locket, everyone looked at him nervously, for fear that he would be controlled by the Horcruxes.

"How does it feel?" Dumbledore asked Ron.

"Like...... Nothing to feel. Ron said.

Then Ron tried to open the locket, but no matter how hard he tried, the lid of the locket didn't move, as if the whole locket was a whole that couldn't be opened.

After nearly ten minutes of work, Ron had no choice but to give up.

"Ron, Harry has eaten all the chocolate doughnuts you hid under the bed." Zhang Xu suddenly said something confusing to Ron.

"Ahh Ron suddenly shouted, "I'm going to break his leg!" ”

Ron shouted, and the living room suddenly fell silent.

It seems that the locket still affected Ron for a short period of time, and inspired Ron's negative purification. Normally, when this happens, Ron will only ask Harry to ask him to buy candy at Duke Honey's candy shop, instead of hitting Harry. Zhang Xu said to the people in the living room, "But the impact is not too deep, and it is no problem to contact the locket box for a short time." ”

At this time, Ron was so frightened by Zhang Xu's words that his hand was loosened, and the locket fell on the moldy carpet.

After getting Ron back to sit down, Blake stepped forward, picked up the locket, then picked up his wand and began to try to open the locket with various open-box charms.
