The semester ended peacefully, and the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor left again, but this time to the applause of all the teachers and students.

As planned, Kano waited for Fleur outside the magic department after the holidays.

"Honey, long time no see!"

Fleur walked out of the Ministry of Magic's registry and gave Kano a hug.

"Not that long, right? I've been looking for you a lot in Hogsmeade Week. Kano smiled and hugged his girlfriend.

"That was all last month, isn't that long?" Fleur let go of Kano and turned to Sirius to the side, "You're Kano's uncle Sirius, I'm his girlfriend, Fleur. Delacour. ”

"Hello, I've often heard Kano mention you." Sirius nodded in greeting, "But since he asked you to clean the old mansion, I don't think your engagement is far off." ”

Fleur's face was slightly red, but she still grabbed Kano's arm and nodded.

Grimmauld Square is also a 20-minute walk from King's Cross Station, which is a luxury section along the "Underground".

The old Black House is located at 12 Grimmauld Place, where Carno's grandfather, Orion. After taking possession of the house, Blake applied all known protective magic to it, and it is now invisible to anyone outside of Kano.

But Kano has not yet received the magical title deed to the house, and the deceased Old Lady Black can still restrict Kreacher's movements in this house.

"They've done it so thoroughly." Sirius scoffed, "I can't see this house anymore after I've been removed." ”

"It's okay, I'll just give you permission." Cano pulled out a small piece of parchment and burned the charred "12 Grimmauld Place" on it with his wand.

After Fleur and Sirius read the note, the house squeezed open on either side of 11 and 13 and emerged from the void.

The trio walked up the imposing stone steps, and Kano tapped his wand against the faded gilded railings beside them, rejuvenating them.

The heavy black door had no keyhole, only a silver coiled serpentine knocker.

"It's a taste," Kano pouted, "even if it's a family crest." ”

Sirius shrugged disapprovingly, "A nest of Slytherins, don't use snakes for anything." ”

He drew his wand and tapped it at the door, and there was a creaking sound from inside, like gears and chains that hadn't been oiled in years.

Kano pushed open the door and walked in front, Fleur took out her wand to illuminate him, and Sirius walked last with a big grin.

The porch was dark and long, with several gas lamps hanging beside it, and a piece of the passage was covered by two velvet curtains. Everything here is rotten and dilapidated, like the breath of a dying man with the smell of rot.

"Kreacher is exaggerating, you don't have to be too careful. I've lived here for more than 10 years, and I can close my eyes..."

"Shame, shame! I gave birth to a loser! How dare you come back! ”

The velvet curtain suddenly opened, and a life-size portrait hung behind it. The old lady in the painting screams and waves her hands, as if she wants to jump out and scratch someone.

This is Walburga. Black, the biological mother of Sirius and Regulus.

The other Black family portraits in the hallway were also woken up and screamed together.

Fleur was startled and immediately raised her wand, but seeing that neither Kanor nor Sirius reacted, she curiously put her wand down again.

"Yes, Mother, I'm back. Look at who this is? Sirius waved his wand to silence the rest of the portraits, and lit the row of kerosene lamps, and Kano's face emerged from the darkness.

"Oh, my heart is back! Regulus, Mommy knows you won't leave me to die first! The old lady climbed down from her chair and stretched out her hand as if to touch Carnot's face.

"Grandma, I am the son of Regulus, and my father has been dead for many years." Kano spoke dryly.

Walburga howled and lay on the ground crying loudly.

Kreacher told Kano that Walburga was mentally unstable before his death, and that he would often burst out crying.

She had never believed that her excellent son, Regulus, had died like this, and her eyes were still open when she breathed.

The old lady couldn't stop for a while, and the three of them walked to the basement.

It was the kitchen and the dining-room, which Kreacher had cleaned up and was waiting for them here.

"You're diligent." Sirius sat down in a high-backed chair with his legs on the table, and Kreacher gave him a disgusted look, trying to take him for air.

"Little master, Kreacher has been limited by the hostess's range of activities, so he can only do this." Dressed in a clean white towel, Kreacher bowed to Kano, who shook his head and said he didn't care.

"Sit down, honey, let's see the layout here." Kano pulled a chair over Fleur, and Kreacher spread his topographical map on the table.

On the first floor is the foyer and formal dining room, and on the second floor is a large living room and several guest rooms facing the street. The third to fifth floors are all bedrooms, and the three master bedrooms on the top floor belong to the old Black couple, Regulus and Sirius.

"Most of the black magic items are on the second floor, and the young master wants to protect... That thing, too, put a lot of gadgets in it. Kreacher said with a slurring of words.

Kreacher tried to destroy the Horcrux for a long time, but ultimately failed. After Walburga's death, he was unable to even reach the locket due to his limited range of motion

Otherwise, how could you secretly pick up the locket that Sirius threw away in the original book? Wrapped directly in his tattered blanket, Sirius wouldn't flip at all.

The three of them walked out of the basement together and began to sweep through the first floor.

The wallpaper here has peeled off, revealing the moldy walls behind it.

The cupboards in the dining room were dusty, and the squeaky of foxes could be heard inside.

This thing's teeth are poisonous, and I'll have to buy some insecticide to "soak" the whole house when I go back.

However, the targets of this round of cleaning were not them, as the three wizards successfully subdued a cupboard that catapulted forks, a silver plate that screamed at the sight of a person, and two animated menorah that wanted to knock a person's head.

At this time, the crying outside was quiet. The three of them looked at each other, and once again came to Walburga's portrait.

"Good boy, what's your name?"

Walburga's spirit seemed to calm down a bit, and he looked at Kano with sobs.

"Canopus. Black. ”

"Is your mother pureblood?"

Sirius's eyes rolled straight up to the ceiling, looking at the crumbling few pieces of wallpaper.

"Yes, my mother is from the Weasleys."

Walburga's eyes widened in disbelief, but he finally sighed.

"Okay, do you have a baby?"

Fleur walked out from behind Kano and saluted the portrait with some nervousness: "I'm Fleur. Delacour, French, is Carno's girlfriend. ”

"French? Hello Frenchman. Walburga looked at Fleur with satisfaction, "Our Black family is a nobleman from France, and our family mottos are written in French. ”

"Wait, are you a pureblood?"
