Chapter 49: The complicated blood relationship

Some time ago, his father's risks and sacrifices for Lupine, that is, for his friends, made Harry's impression of his father much better.

For Snape, an elder who may have been an undercover agent for Dumbledore when he was a student, and whose childhood sweetheart was stolen away by his father, he felt less guilty.

After all, his father had been a good guy at school, and he was only targeting Snape because of his mother.

At the same time, Harry also understood how much Snape hated his father and even Sirius.

But now, he actually heard the news from Lupine that Professor Snape helped rescue his godfather?

I remember that my release from prison had something to do with my annoying ancestor Phineas Nigellus Black. Sirius said.

He then recalled the terrible time when his ancestor had arranged crazy blind dates for him when he was just released from prison.

After all, he is just a portrait, and I'm afraid he hasn't done much to arrange a blind date for Sirius when it comes to his release from prison.

Actually I can understand why Snape behaves like this.

One thing I have to admit, Snape is probably the person who understands the friendship between you and James best besides James, me, and Peter. Lupine said.

What does this have to do with my release from prison? Sirius frowned.

The first moment Snape knew you were innocent, he understood that you were trying to atone for your sins. For you, Azkaban was the place you most wanted to stay.

And when he was released from prison, he was called a hero by others.

Sirius, this is probably worse than death for you. Lupine looked directly into Sirius's eyes.

Ha ha. Sirius laughed dryly and said, "But that guy, Snotlout, couldn't have imagined that I am very happy now."

Harry is here with us, and you, Remus, not to mention the fact that my brother is back. Sirius suddenly laughed.

Sirius was indeed much happier, Harry thought.

Unknowingly, it was already approaching the 31st, which was Harry's birthday.

These days, he, Ron, Draco and the others were living a fairy-like life in the Black Mansion.

The kitchen was almost unrecognizable.

The Black house had been renovated before Harry and the others moved in, but the kitchen, even though Sirius and Lupine tried their best to maintain it, still looked gray.

And now everything had a new look on its surface: the copper pots and plates were polished to a rose-colored sheen, the wooden tabletops were polished to a shine, the dinner cups and saucers were laid out, gleaming in the light of the fire, and simmering on the cheerful flames. A big pot.

But the change in the house elf Kreacher is greater than the change in the house. He is wrapped in a snow-white towel, the hair in his ears is as white and fluffy as cotton wool, and his gray teeth have become as white as snow, making people wonder if he is I used the same toothpaste that was Ron's mother's favorite, Gilderoy Lockhart's.

However, changes elsewhere are not insignificant.

As for the entrance to Grimmauld Place (the doorbell that opened the door would easily wake Sirius's mother), the main entrance, which had not been used for a long time, also came into use.

In this way, Harry and the others could even go to the Muggle world to feed the pigeons from time to time.

Even once when Harry and the others were entering, the portrait of Sirius's mother even spoke to them, "You are Sissy's child, right? It seems that my unfilial son has not fallen too far."

Although, she didn't speak after that.

But it's also a surprising thing, and it's even outrageous to the point of saying that Dumbledore is a dark wizard. She didn't even curse!

As for her not talking to Harry and Ron, that's normal.

The Potters are a pure-blood wizarding family that showed closeness to Muggles earlier than the Weasleys.

Ron's grandma is Cedrella Black, who is a generation older than Sirius' mother Walburga Black, who was also expelled from the family like Sirius.

Expelled from the Weasley family for marrying.

It was normal for Ron to be unpopular.

If you don't count Ron's mother (she is Sirius' cousin by marriage), the grandson of Ron's grandma's cousin is also Sirius.

They are considered peers.

And Harry's grandma is also Ron's grandma's cousin. In this way, they are also peers.

At this moment, there was one person who was the youngest in the Black family, and that was Draco.

His maternal grandfather was Signus Black, the son of Grandma Ron's cousin Palex Black.

Harry found these very confusing, and if he didn't have a family tree, he probably wouldn't be able to understand them.

But there was one thing that displeased Harry, and that was that Neville, and even the Death Eater Crouch Jr., were closer in blood than Ron.

The grandson of Grandma Ron's biological sister Charisse is Crouch Jr.

Her sister Callidora's grandson is Neville.

In this case, Neville, Harry, Ron, Crouch Jr., and Sirius are all of the same generation.

It was one morning, just when Harry was about to get moldy with his research on the Black family tree, that a conversation caught his eye.

This is related to Regulus who likes to stay in a dark room to replenish his energy most of the time.

"Sirius, if that locket is really a Horcrux, and now it's destroyed, that means Voldemort doesn't have any other Horcruxes," Lupine said seriously.

I understand that it means that the remnant soul of Voldemort who appeared in front of Harry last year has gone to the world after death.

Voldemort was completely dead.

However, we cannot guarantee this, and I do not think it is necessary to tell Dumbledore. Sirius looked impatient.

It seemed that this argument had been going on more than once.

Are you worried about Regulus?

You don't want Dumbledore to know about him? Lupin's voice became a little hurried.

Yes, I don't trust Dumbledore in this regard.

Even Harry was raised by him in a rotten place like the Dursleys. For Regulus, I think it is better to keep the status quo. Sirius said.

Don't you think his condition is very dangerous?

What if he becomes a real Inferi later?

How long can Regulus's condition last? Can we investigate it clearly with our knowledge? Lupin advised.

The young Voldemort, known as Tom Riddle, if our guess is correct, Voldemort obtained immortality through Horcruxes, then he should also be Voldemort's Horcrux.

I think we have destroyed one Horcrux, and we need to consider the matter of Regulus in the long run. Sirius' voice became a little hesitant.

What if there are other Horcruxes in that cave?

As long as Voldemort is there, our lives, Regulus and Harry's, are inevitably at risk.

I suggest that we invite Dumbledore to come on Harry's birthday.

And give Regulus a physical examination. Lupin said.

Okay. Sirius sighed.
