Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

191. Chapter 191 Collection of the Black Family

    Standing in the dimly lit hall, Ivan looked around curiously.

    As a mansion of the Black family, 12 Grimmauld Place is a typical pure blood wizard's house, with decorations everywhere, all with centuries of history, and if left outside, it is definitely a priceless antique.

    In front of them is a narrow corridor that does not see the end.

    Right in front of the foyer is a tree-shaped decorative light, and a swaying table is placed on a swaying table not far away, which looks like a big serpent.

    After Voldemort returned, the house was used as the Order of the Phoenix headquarters. It should be used by no one now, and naturally it has not been protected by magic. It can be seen from the thick dust around it that no one has been here for a long time.

    Ivan didn't know why Sirius was bringing them here. It stands to reason that he should be full of disgust at the house. However, he just mentioned that he wants to come here and take it to Hermione's Christmas present. I don't know if it is anything? !

    "There have been no ones living here for more than a decade. We'd better hurry up and leave here when we're done."Sirius whispered that he was the first to walk into the foyer.

    The shabby sound of the dilapidated floor sounded extraordinarily creepy in the old, empty house.

    Ivan didn't know what they were going to get, but he knew that Slytherin's locket was kept here, and if it could be found and destroyed, it would save a lot of trouble.

    The locket should be kept in the room of Sirius's brother, Regulus, where Ivan didn't know.

    If there is a chance, he is going to look for it.

    Ivan hurriedly followed Sirius' footsteps, and Hermione couldn't help but hold his arm. Harry walked in front of them, his face mixed with inexplicable tension and excitement.

    In the dim, narrow corridor, they bypassed a large umbrella stand that looked like a broken leg from Troll.

    On the left side of the umbrella stand is a dark staircase, and the wall next to it seems to be decorated with something.

    Sirius didn't go upstairs, Ivan, Harry, and Hermione were curious to get together and watched the blur on the wall. Then, three people took a breath of cold air, and they saw a row of rumpled heads on the wall's plaque.

    They are all the heads of house elf, they all have the same ugly big nose.

    "I don't understand, this house looks like it belongs to cruelest dark wizards."Harry whispered, "Why do Sirius' parents live here?"

    “Remember, all members of the Black family are Slytherin's except Sirius.”Ivan also whispered, "Think about their taste, you should understand."

    "Why are they hanging the house elf's head on the wall?"The expression on Hermione's face was full of fear and confusion, and there was still some anger hidden.

    "That's not what they hang up. It should be the tradition of house elf. They have been serving in a wizard family since birth, until they are aging, then they cut their heads and hang them on the owner. The wall of the home is decorated as a wall. For them, I am afraid it is the most glorious thing. ”

    "I don't understand, this is the most ridiculous thing!"Hermione hesitated, "Dobby is not like this…"

    "He is an alternative, he is different from other house elf."Ivan patted Hermione's shoulder gently. "We'd better wait to go back to school to discuss this. It makes me feel bad."

    I don't know if it is an illusion. Ivan always feels that there is anything hiding in the house and secretly watching them in the dark. This feeling is very strong.

    But looking around, I didn’t see anything.

    Sirius didn't stop at the three of them, and his figure had disappeared into the corner of the narrow corridor.

    They hurried to follow up, and then they walked through two long, worm-covered curtains that looked like they were hiding a door.

    When Harry passed, he glanced glanced at the credit.

    The next second, he involuntarily stepped back a few steps, panic, as if to see something extremely horrible.

    "What is it, Harry?"

    "In the inside, there is a portrait inside, above…"

    Ivan turned his head and he saw the drapery on the wall automatically slide to the sides, revealing something hidden behind him, and a portrait of a fierce old lady hanging on the wall.

    Seeing Ivan, Harry, and Hermione, the old lady screamed like a ghost, and she waved her claw-like hands as if to grab their faces.

    "You are a group of animals, stocking! Get out of here, who will allow you to enter my family's home, here is the Black family…"

    The expression on the old lady's face was terrible and embarrassing. Just when Ivan and the three of them stood in the same place, Sirius Black rushed back when they didn't know what to do.

    "Shut up, you terrible old witch, shut up!"He groaned as he tried to pull the curtain back.

    "Y-you!"The old lady was pale and wide-eyed. She couldn't believe Sirius and then made a more sharp voice. "It's your ruin, the shame of the family, the scorpion I gave birth!" You actually have a face back, you are this…"

    "I said it, shut up!"Sirius shouted, pulling the credit to the top.

    The screams disappeared, followed by a reverberating silence.

    "Who is this?"Harry whispered, looking still awkward.

    "My mother, I think you should know it. When she was alive, it was this look."Sirius said with a slap in the face.

    "She, she is yours…"

    "Yeah, my dear, good mother."Sirius said, "I didn't say it before. This is my parents' house. They originally intended to leave him to my brother, but the Black family left me alone, so this house is now owned by me."

    "What are we doing here?"Ivan asked.

    "Come and give you and Hermione's Christmas present."Sirius explained, “I have asked Lupin, Hagrid and others about your preferences. Both you and Hermione like to read books. The Black family library is in this house, which has a lot of out-of-print magic books, including Many of the solitary books that have been in the Black family for centuries and are not seen outside, I think you will be interested."

    "Precious magic book?!"Ivan stunned.

    He knows the value of these books compared to Harry and Hermione, who are ignorant.

    Because I have been asking Flourish and Blotts to collect this magic book, Ivan knows the actual value of the magic book.

    The value of an out-of-print magic book is immeasurable and worthwhile.

    These are the roots of the pure blood wizard family inheritance. No one will have to come out. If there is no certain chance, the outsiders have no chance to check.

    The longer the inheritance of the wizard family, the greater the value of the collection's magic book.

    The history of the Black family dates back to the millennium, the most expensive and oldest Black family, arguably the current magic circle, one of the only pure blood wizard families. Ivan was so excited when she thought about the collection of their family.

    He wants to hurry to take a look, but is it too expensive to use these magic books as Christmas gifts? !

    It seems that Ivan's worry, Sirius explained in a plain tone, "Don't quit, you guys have helped me, not a few magic books to repay." Besides, if you don't look at it, those books will just be put there and moldy. ”
