After getting what he wanted, Kyle didn't stop and immediately left here.

However, he did not return to the village of St. Cachpol, but went to London at Sirius' invitation.

Late at night, the two appeared in Grimmauld Place, not far from King's Cross.

Kyle thought back to Sirius's words, and as soon as he thought of 12 Grimmauld Place, a tattered door popped out of thin air between 11 and 13.

The Blake's mansion, where Sirius now lives, is protected by the Loyalty Charm.

Although Fudge had promised him that he would transfer all the Dementors and the Aurors who were responsible for capturing him, Sirius felt that it would be safer to live here.

He pulls out his wand and knocks on the door, and Kyle hears a lot of loud metal slamming and rattling like chains.

The door creaked open.

"Come on in." Sirius said.

Kyle stepped over the threshold and into the almost dark foyer, which was wet and smelled of rot.

"It's been a long time since it's been inhabited, and I'm going to clean it up before Harry comes."

Sirius' voice came from behind him.

Then, Kyle hears a rustling sound, and then a row of old-fashioned gas lamps on the wall comes on, casting a flickering and unreal glow that illuminates the peeling wallpaper and polished carpet in the foyer.

Kyle touched a nearby table, and a thick layer of dust immediately appeared on his fingers.

"It's not easy to clean up, and a lot of things need to be changed."

"yes, take your time." Sirius said, "I was expecting to get Harry over in a few days, but Dumbledore told me that the rat would need to take a resurrection potion for a month in order to recover.

Coupled with the trial process after that, this holiday is too late, and it will not be until Christmas, so there is plenty of time. ”

With the sound of hurried footsteps, Lupin stepped out of a door at the other end of the foyer and strode in front of them.

"Oh, Kyle, it's such a pleasure to meet you." He laughs.

"Me too, Professor." Kyle said.

"I'm not a professor now, call me Lupin, or Moonface."

Kyle was about to speak, but suddenly noticed that next to the cabinet not far behind Lupin, a pair of eyes the size of a tennis ball were staring at them.

It was a house-elf, he looked very old, his loose skin stacked on top of each other, his head was bare, his big bat-like ears grew a lot of white hair, and his fleshy nose was large, almost like a pig's nose.

Seriously, in front of him, Dobby can be called a handsome elf.

"That's Kreacher, a house-elf." Sirius said, "But he's gone crazy now, and he's useless, or the house wouldn't be what it is." ”

"Greetings, young master." Seeing that he had been discovered, Krichet bowed, and then, in a voice that everyone could hear, said something in a voice:

“…… It smelled like gutter and crime, and the loser returned, and besides the werewolf, he brought a little cub to the mistress's house, oh, what a shame, poor old Kreacher, what could he do......"

"Get out of here, Kreacher!" Sirius said impatiently.

"Okay, young master." Kreacher bowed again and dragged his feet out, but his mouth did not stop, "The young master is a nasty, ungrateful lewd billet who broke his mother's heart, but Kreacher will still listen to him......"

"I'm sorry, Kyle." Sirius shivered with anger, but turned to explain, "He had been alone for too long, and he had received some crazy orders from my mother's portrait and began to speak to himself...... Becoming mentally abnormal. ”

"Oh, it's fine." Kyle looked in the direction Kreacher had left, then waved his hand to show that he didn't mind.

"Come with me, I'll take you to a quiet place." Sirius said, "But don't make too much noise, or you'll ......"

"Bang!"

Before Sirius could finish his sentence, he kicked over an umbrella stand and nearly fell, thanks to Kyle pulling him from behind in time.

"Oh......"

Lupin covered his face, looking a little helpless.

In the next second, a terrifying, creepy scream flooded the room.

Behind him, two tattered and old velvet curtains were inexplicably pulled apart, revealing a portrait behind him of an old lady in a hat screaming desperately.

"Animals, sluts, ruined children, the shame of the family, get out of here, how dare you defile my ancestors' house......"

The shrill cursing sounded as if to deafen people's ears.

"Shut up!" Sirius was the quickest to react, covering his ears and running over in three steps and two steps, grabbing the drapery on either side.

Seeing him, the old lady's face turned pale.

But before she could speak again, Sirius pulled the curtain shut.

The expletives died away, followed by a silence that echoed.

"Looks like you've seen my mother." Sirius smiled wryly, "She didn't like me because I was sorted into Gryffindor, and when I ran away from home at the age of sixteen, my dislike turned into disgust."

But as long as you keep quiet when you pass by, she doesn't know that there are people outside. ”

"I didn't expect it to be quite lively here." Kyle said with a smile.

"I don't think so." Sirius said, "Let's go, hurry, don't wait for her to wake up again." ”

Sirius led them down the hallway to a relatively clean room.

It's a big place, and there's a grand round table in the middle, which looks like a living room.

"If you want to study that box, here it is." Sirius said, "This house is protected by the Loyalty Charm, and you can use any magic you want here, and no one from the Ministry of Magic will know who it is." The most they could do was find Grimmauld Square, and then they would find that there was no one there. ”

"Box? What box? Lupin wondered.

"Don't ask me, Moonface." Sirius rubbed his forehead, "Seriously, I have more doubts than you.

Can you believe it? Kyle only walked around the Lestrange Ancestral Mansion and found a very hidden box...... It was as if he had gone to the kitchen to get a piece of bread in his own home. ”

Lupin was confused.

But then he saw that Kyle had actually taken out a box and put it on the table.

"This is the Lestrange thing?"

"It used to be." Kyle said.

He didn't explain much, just looked at the two of them and said, "If you choose to stay, then please remember to keep it a secret, and no matter what happens here later, you can't tell it." Including to Professor Dumbledore. ”

"Of course." Sirius nodded immediately, curling the corners of her mouth slightly.

Although he still had a lot of doubts in his heart, it didn't matter...... Looking at Kyle in front of him, for some reason, he suddenly had the illusion of returning to his school days.

That's how they made a map of the living spot secretly from everyone...... It's a nostalgic feeling.

Lupin hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"That's good, remember, you must keep it secret." Kyle laughed, "Or I'll beat Harry, you know, he can't beat me." ”
