Chapter 095
Chapter 96 Family Tree
After laboriously cleaning the first floor, everyone rested for a while and walked upstairs together.
As soon as they stepped onto the floor of the second floor, several girls screamed, and even the boys looked very ugly – rows of shriveled house-elf heads were hung neatly on the wall next to the stairs. With his eyes open, he stared blankly at the stairs directly opposite.
In this dark environment, this wall seemed particularly permeable. Hermione took a step back and quietly held the corner of Ives’ clothes tightly.
“These are the heads of house elves who have served the Black family all their lives.” Sirius hurriedly stepped forward, explained, and used magic to remove the heads.
He sneered,”The behavior of the Black family is so impressive. Disgusted, they beheaded the house elf who was too old to carry a plate and decorated it here, euphemistically calling it: Glory.”
“Including Kreacher, they are all proud to hang their heads here after death.”Sirius’s face was full of disdain and boredom, which was one of the reasons that prompted him to escape from this old house.
Hearing the movement on the”Wall of Honor” on the second floor, Kreacher hurried to the stairs and Seeing the heads of the house elves being piled up haphazardly by Sirius,
Kreacher’s eyes widened with bloodshot eyes, and he cursed angrily at Sirius in a hoarse voice:”You disgusting bastard.” spendthrift! If the hostess knew that her favorite place to stay had been destroyed by the hateful prodigal son, she would definitely give him a severe Cruciatus Curse!”
Sirius was now somewhat immune to Kreacher’s insults, and ignored them all. He ordered calmly:”Kreacher, I order you to throw away these scraps.”
Kreacher’s eyes widened even more when he heard the word”waste”, but this was an order given by Sirius as the master, and he had to obey it.
Kreacher bent down and said reluctantly :”clear.”
He snapped his fingers, and the heads of the house elves floated in front of him. With another snap of his fingers, Kreacher took them away from here.
The sound of items being placed was heard in the basement.
Sirius pursed his lips, he obviously knew Kreacher won’t throw away these heads, but as long as they don’t appear in front of him, it doesn’t matter.
“Sorry for scaring you,” he turned to express his apology to the little wizards.
“It’s okay,” everyone shook their heads and shrugged indifferently.
There is a bedroom and a bathroom on the second floor of the old house, as well as the most important room in the house – the living room. The living room on the second floor is obviously this ancient pure house. The room used by the Blood family to receive guests.
Kreacher had just cleaned the room briefly and opened the windows for ventilation, so everyone was going to clean this room first. Unlike the small living room with simple decoration on the first floor, the living room here can still You can see how gorgeous and exquisite it once was.
As soon as they walked into the living room on the second floor, they were greeted by a large floor-to-ceiling window. Through this window, they could overlook the street in front of the house.
There was a large fireplace on the side, and two fireplaces on both sides. On the right side of the gorgeous glass cabinet, there is also a Black family tree-shaped genealogy tapestry hanging.
Several little wizards stopped curiously in f
ront of this tapestry. The family tree depicted on it starts from the Middle Ages and shows the Black family tree so far. The situation of the family.
The portraits of the living family members are lit, while the portraits of the deceased members turn to black and white. In the entire Black family, there are only two illuminated portraits: Bellatrix Black and Narcissa ·Black.
Hermione and the others were curious about why they didn’t see Sirius’s portrait, until they followed the winding branches and found Sirius’s name and a hole burned in the portrait. People in the same situation as him, There is another person——
Andromeda Black
“That’s my cousin,” Sirius introduced to everyone.”She was removed from the family because she married a Muggle. As for me, I was also removed from the family after I ran away from home at the age of sixteen. His expression was a little sarcastic,”I’m afraid my mother never imagined that it would not be my stupid brother who would inherit the family in the end, but me, the pure-blood traitor.”’”
“younger brother?”The little wizards were confused. This was the first time they knew that Sirius had a younger brother.
He pointed to a black and white portrait under his name, which showed a young man with black hair and a gloomy face,”Lei Gu Les Black, my brother”
“My stupid brother,” Sirius stroked the portrait of Regulus, his eyes full of complexity,”He has been brainwashed by the pure-blood thinking in his family since he was a child. When he grew up, he chose to side with Voldemort, and in the end he actually So he lost his life.”
He didn’t know the truth about Regulus’ death, but simply thought that he was unfortunately killed in a certain battle.
“Okay,” Sirius turned around, looked at the still messy living room, and directed:”We have to work harder, there is still a lot of work to do.”
Next, everyone began to clean the huge living room.
The room was covered with dust. There were nests of foxes hidden behind the curtains, and there was a nest of dead velvet velvets in the sofa.
On both sides of the fireplace , The glass cabinet door was very dirty, and it was filled with strange dark magic objects, a rusty dagger, animal claws, coiled snake skin, a decorative crystal bottle with an opal on it, containing blood. , a silver rhinitis box that bites people…
These objects don’t seem to want to leave the shelf where they are.
Sirius handles the items here alone, and he is worried about accidents to the little wizards. Especially when he shoots to death a bag containing sarcoma powder. , a tweezers-like instrument with multiple legs that can crawl like a spider.
“See what I found?”Sirius took out a commemorative box and showed everyone what was inside – an Order of Merlin, First Class.
“My grandfather Phineas Black received an Order of Merlin, First Class, for his ‘services to the Ministry of Magic’,” he rephrased,”which means he gave them a bunch of gold. When I was still at home, my mother wouldn’t let me touch this medal. Now, I can finally dispose of it as I please.”
As he said that, he threw the commemorative box aside casually, obviously not taking this honor seriously.
“Phineas Black?”Hermione thought the name sounded familiar.
“The former Headmaster of Hogwarts and the most unpopular Headmaster in history.”Aves explained to her
“Yes, that’s right,” Sirius nodded, happily agreeing with him
