Chapter 52: Unaccustomed to Happiness

While Harry and Sirius were in an awkward daze in the living room, Harry couldn't help but point it out. Will Dumbledore come to today's birthday party?

Is it Remus?

That's right, it's your birthday, and he should have told you. Sirius raised his eyebrows, but soon regained his composure.

No, I heard it. You were talking too loudly at the time. Harry was speechless, but immediately showed a curious look. What is a Horcrux?

This is not something you should know at your age. Sirius said seriously, and Harry still looked at him curiously. Okay, okay, don't make such an expression with this face.

You know, Harry, you look a lot like James.

I can't resist James, you should know that.

Okay, listen to me.

I'm just guessing, because the Horcrux is just a relatively evil magic, but it's not very clever. Sirius commented.

Not clever? If it really can prolong life, or even immortality, then what? Harry looked puzzled.

Making Horcruxes requires killing.

Moreover, the existence of ghosts has proved the existence of the afterlife.

All our loved ones are waiting for us in that world, and they are not smart only compared to Voldemort.

To remain immortal with Horcruxes, one needs to split the soul and hide part of it in an object, so that even if the body is attacked or destroyed, it will not die, because part of the soul remains in the world and is not damaged.

Splitting one's own soul is too costly, and no one dares to try it. Sirius said helplessly.

Locket! Harry exclaimed.

Yes, it is very similar to Horcruxes.

Moreover, the most notorious Parseltongue in this century is none other than Voldemort. Sirius nodded.

But, but why am I also a Parseltongue?

As far as I know, our Potter family does not have such blood. Harry said with a frown.

Unlike the original world line, as a Ravenclaw, he investigated his family carefully.

This is also related to what Ryan told him about the Deathly Hallows.

The Potter family is pure blood, and pure bloods are originally related by blood.

This also includes the Gaunt family, the descendants of Slytherin.

It is estimated that Voldemort activated the same part of your gift, Parseltongue, when he tried to attack you. Sirius guessed.

Maybe. Harry's mood suddenly became bad.

He remembered one thing, Gaunt and Potter both came from Peverell. So it is not impossible that he has the gift of Parseltongue.

But Harry didn't think of this at first. He thought that Parseltongue was a unique gift of Slytherin and passed on to Gaunt.

It should have nothing to do with Peverell.

Harry, this is also your gift. Don't resist it. Maybe it will work one day.

Don't learn from me. Knowledge and even talent are not wrong. If I hadn't given up studying the dark arts, Dumbledore wouldn't have to check Regulus' body. Sirius said regretfully.

Work? Harry was about to refute, but he suddenly thought of the Resurrection Stone.

It is the treasure of the Gaunt family. Maybe it contains its magic traps. The unique talent of the Gaunt family, Parseltongue, will come into play.

I understand. Harry nodded.

Time soon came to 9 o'clock in the morning. Sirius went out with a mysterious look on his face. I don't know what he wanted to do. Lupin yawned while eating the breakfast prepared by Kreacher.

Ron and Draco also walked out of their rooms with sleepy eyes.

Although their expressions were full of sleepiness, they were obviously surprised by the brand new Black family.

I said why Sirius went to bed so early yesterday.

It turned out that he was preparing these, even I didn't know. Lupin said.

He lowered his head and gently sniffed the flowers blooming on the table entangled by vines.

Aha, this Gilderoy Lockhart is really not a good person. The sleepiness in Ron's eyes was immediately cleared by the "Daily Prophet" on the table that turned to the page about Gilderoy Lockhart's arrest.

In his opinion, the guy his great father hated must not be a good person.

But he should be very powerful.

Those things in his stories are actually true.

I used to think he made them up, and the truth must be because he is a Ravenclaw, and his wide knowledge makes up for this.

But I didn't expect that these stories were all stolen.

And Gilderoy Lockhart defeated the wizards who made these great achievements by himself.

It's unbelievable, I thought he was just a fool. Draco sighed.

This also shows how powerful Ravenclaw is.

Look at Lockhart, who defeated so many powerful wizards and modified their memories.

And Rita Skeeter, who can sneak into Hogwarts to take pictures.

Even Professor Flitwick, who looks easy to bully, was a duel champion when he was young.

So Draco, you have to be careful. If you continue to ridicule me like this every day, I think your end will not be better than those wizards defeated by Gilderoy Lockhart. Ron suddenly said insidiously.

Come on, Ron!

So Voldemort is still a Slytherin!

Why aren't you afraid of me? Draco raised his eyebrows, indifferent.

Harry did not rashly join the quarrel between Draco and Ron. They had had such a conversation many times.

Like the last time he heard the conversation between Sirius and Lupin, alone.

It was also for temporary peace and to avoid the interruption of Ron and Draco.

As for reading the Black family tree and studying it, it was just to kill time.

Kreacher, isn't Regulus coming out for dinner? Harry asked curiously.

Master Harry, Master Regulus is sleeping, and he prefers a dark environment.

This forced poor old Kreacher to leave him temporarily and do something else. Kreacher said in a low and hoarse voice, while doing things in the kitchen to prepare for today's lunch.

So. Harry nodded.

Harry was actually very curious about Regulus' existence.

But what he was most curious about today was what his birthday party would look like.

At the Dursleys, he had experienced Dudley's many times, but Harry had no experience of his own.

And this was a birthday party for the wizarding world, did he need to give a speech on stage?

What would he say if he gave a speech?

And his hair was not obedient at all, and he couldn't hold it tight. , would it not match his brand new dress robe?

Dumbledore is here, what should he say?

What gift will Dumbledore bring him?

All kinds of strange thoughts filled Harry's heart at this moment. He was not used to such a happy feeling.
