Chapter 444: The Locket in the Glass Case
Tens of thousands of Galleons flew away, and Kyle only felt a pain in his flesh.
But it can't be helped, compared to this gold, it is still the Hufflepuff Gold Cup that is more important.
Like Ravenclaw's crown, the Gold Cup is also something left over from the Big Four.
Voldemort's prodigy made it into a Horcrux and gave it to Bellatrix for safekeeping.
However, Bellatrix did not keep Voldemort's things in her own home, as Lucius Malfoy did, but chose the Gringotts vault, which she thought was safer.
But speaking of Horcruxes...... In addition to the gold cup that cannot be held for the time being, there is a closer, even closer, one can even say close.
This is the main reason why Kyle agreed to follow Sirius to 12 Grimmauld Place.
As for the box, it was a complete bonus, in fact, Kyle never expected that the key to open the box would actually be Sirius Black himself.
Originally, he wanted to try it with a normal spell first, and if it really couldn't be opened, he would just use the fire charm, or ask Nicola Lemay for help the next time he went to Devon.
Thinking of this, Kyle first glanced at Kreacher, who was still tied to the ground, casually lifted the imprisoning spell he had just had, and then turned his head and asked:
"Sirius, can I take a tour of here?"
Kreacher, who was about to leave, heard this and stopped abruptly.
"The scum young master brought back a little devil, Kreacher has never seen such an evil wizard, he is not satisfied with blowing up the parlor, and now he has to blow up other places, Kreacher has to defend the hostess's house, no one wants to destroy it......"
"Shut up, Kreacher!" Sirius couldn't help but roar, "No one wants to destroy this place, if anything, it has to be me!" ”
He looked back at Kyle, "There's nothing to see here, but if you're interested, of course it's fine, but be careful not to wake up the portraits."
Also, it's best not to go alone to the second and third basement floors and above, Lupin and I haven't checked these places yet, and we're not sure if they're safe. ”
"Don't touch that locked cabinet in the living room." Lupin suddenly spoke: "If my guess is correct, it should be a Boggart there." ”
He still hadn't forgotten how exaggerated Kyle's handling of Boggart was, and if he did it again, it might be ruined.
Kyle smiled, last time it was purely defenseless, and now Boggart is like that for him.
He didn't explain anything, though, just took out his wand and restored the ruined parlor.
Sirius and Lupin also helped.
With three of them, the place was quickly restored to its original state.
Kreacher finally stopped muttering, but still followed them closely, watching their every move.
"I just wanted to ask." When they got down the hallway, Kyle looked at Sirius, "You bought a new wand?" ”
"Oh, you say this?" Sirius raised his hand and shook the wand studded with gold and gems in his hand, "Of course not, I'm still wanted, how could I go to Diagon Alley to buy a wand."
This is an old wand I found in my storage cupboard, and although it doesn't work well, there's no other option now. ”
Accompanied by Sirius, Kyle visits the foyer and each of the rooms on the second floor.
The lights were dim, and their shadows were shining on the walls, almost blending into the darkness, looking like some evil wizard's lair.
"When I clean up the house, the first thing I do is throw all the lights away." Sirius said with a frown.
He hated places that were too dark, because Dementors floated out of the darkness every time without warning.
If the surroundings are too dark, he will always subconsciously think of this bad memory.
Hearing his words, Kreacher, who was following behind, began to babble again.
But Sirius didn't bother to bother with him this time, anyway, before Harry moved in, all these old-fashioned gas lamps had to be replaced, and the room had to be brightly lit, and there could be no dead ends.
After turning around, several people came to the living room on the second floor.
It was a large room, much bigger than the parlor they had been living in.
Kyle finds the cabinet Lupin had mentioned, next to an armchair, presumably supposed to be used to store important documents, but now it is occupied by a boggart.
From afar, you can see the cabinet vibrating gently.
Kyle wasn't interested in Boggart, so he just glanced away at it, and in front of the opposite wall, there was a larger glass-door cabinet with some oddities in it.
Kyle walked over.
"If one day I were to clean up the house completely, the first thing that would be thrown away would be the stuff in it."
Sirius stepped forward and said in a disgusted tone, "It's almost all dark magic items, they just love this and show it like a baby......
Kyle looked at the glass case, and in the center was an open, dusty box containing a Sir Merlin Medal. Kyle has one too, but his strap is purple and the one in front of him is green.
The Order of the Order of Merlin, 1st class, was awarded to Sirius' grandfather for his "service to the Ministry of Magic." ”
"It means that they were given a lot of gold." Sirius said dismissively, "A dark wizard turned the wizarding world upside down, and they needed gold to recruit more Aurors. ”
"I can get a first-class medal...... Kyle whispered, "this amount of gold must be huge." ”
"I don't know the exact number." Sirius said, "It is said that he bought it for half of the gold in the vault, which he thought would increase the honor and status of the Black family." ”
"Half of the gold, what a sacrifice!" Kyle smacked his lips in some surprise and continued to look down.
Next to the box was a silver snuff box, and Kyle poked it with his wand, which immediately parted in the middle and turned into a large mouth that bit into the wand, while also spewing out a taupe powder.
The powder is similar to one of Jokowi's pranks, and it creates an unsightly crust when it sticks to your body, but it's not very harmful, and a simple cleansing charm can remove it.
On the left is a particularly ugly-looking silver utensil, like a spider with tweezers on its head, and it also runs like a spider.
As soon as it opened the cabinet door, it tried to run, but Sirius smashed it with a thick book.
A music box with a bunch of distorted shadows painted on it shouldn't be a good thing either.
A lot of antique seals, this is quite normal,
And also...... At this moment, Kyle's heart suddenly jumped twice.
He found it, and in an inconspicuous corner, there was a golden locket.
