Science and magic at Hogwarts

Chapter 32 Relief and visit ([-]) Please recommend

At 58:12, Kyle had arrived near No. [-], Grimmauld Place.

At 59:[-], the effect of the invisibility potion disappeared.

At six o'clock, before his wizard robes caught everyone's attention, Kyle stepped into the old house, and the constant Muggle repelling spell made the passers-by turn a blind eye to Kyle in strange clothes and the gloomy old house.

No, not spooky.

At this moment, Kyle's pupils shrank, and the accident made him narrow his eyes subconsciously.

Scratches on guardrails and gates, mottled walls, spider webs, and wild grass.Those elements that appeared yesterday enough to make Black's old house disguised as a haunted house all disappeared.

The gates and guardrails were repainted black, and the overgrown weeds were replaced by tidy lawns.The mottled wall skin has also been treated by magic, and no flaws can be seen.

From the outside, 12 Grimmauld Place has changed from an abandoned house that can be used as a haunted house to the magnificent old Blake house in just one night, just this restored old house , we can vaguely see the brilliance and glory of Black, who was the core of British noble wizards back then.

click.

With the sound of the door lock opening, the door of Black's old house was opened from the inside.

The person behind the door also showed up.

It shouldn't be the person behind the door, because when the door is opened, a house-elf appears.

"Master, is that you?" The house elf's voice was hoarse and deep.

Although Kyle didn't see the elf often, he was sure that the elf was very old--there were many wrinkles on the body, and the ears were covered with white hair.

But it can be seen that this little elf named Kreacher has carefully cleaned himself up, his body is very clean, the vest he is wearing is extremely worn out, but there is not a trace of dirt in it.

Its bloodshot gray eyes were looking at Kyle wetly.

"If you mean the one who was invited, it's me"

"Great, the mistress has been waiting for you for too long, Kreacher should really tell the mistress the news now. But Kreacher still has to lead the way for the young master, and Kreacher wants to put his ear in the grill Punish yourself on the furnace door!"

Kyle was already a little uneasy, and Kreacher's nervousness made it even more serious.

The little elf's words undoubtedly revealed a lot of information, especially the title of young master.

Kyle didn't believe that any visitor would be called Master by the house-elf.And the title of hostess, does it refer to Narcissa Malfoy?
Silent without speaking, Kyle followed Kreacher into the old house.

The old house was also kept spotless.All the wall lamps on the wall were turned on, and a huge crystal lamp was hung on the ceiling in the hall, making the whole room look brilliant.

But the strange thing is that the entire hall was extremely empty, and the hostess that Klee mentioned was not seen.

"Kreacher, who is inviting me?"

"it's me."

A female voice came from the side of Kyle.

The owner of the voice turned out to be a portrait.

Kyle suddenly realized that this should be Kreacher's mistress.

"Good evening, ma'am" Although it was just a portrait, Kyle still did not lack due courtesy.

"Thank you for your visit, young man, and please forgive me for being rude to the way you invited me. After all, this is the only way I can communicate with you."

Although the words were a little sad, Madam Black's tone was not weak at all, and it was full of aristocratic arrogance from beginning to end.

"It's nothing, ma'am. I just don't know why Madam took so much trouble, first recreating Black's old house, and then arranging such a solemn meeting?"

Kyle actually already has his own guess, although it's a bit unbelievable.

Mrs. Black stared at Kyle deeply. I don't know if it was Kyle's illusion. He actually saw appreciation in the eyes of a portrait.

"You're mistaken about one thing, young man."

"Since the end of the war, I have closed 12 Grimmauld Place. The family's old house has been passed down for thousands of years, during which countless protective magics have been released. Just a part of it is enough to ensure that no one in the magic world can enter without permission. found the old house under the circumstances."

"Do you understand now? It's not that I brought the old Black house back to life with great fanfare, but that it appeared in front of you on its own initiative."

"Kreacher found this out and told me about it."

"The whole old house is cheering for you, and Kreacher, who was born with the blood of Black, has also become energetic. All this shows that you have pure Black blood flowing through you!"

"I think you understand what I'm talking about, descendants of Black." Having said this, the voice of the portrait has become uncontrollably excited and high-pitched.

"Can you tell me your name, young man?"

"Kyle Shafik, ma'am." Although Kyle was in a state of confusion right now, he still quickly replied that he still needed more information from Mrs. Black.

But what Kyle said made Mrs. Black's face darken.

"What is Regulus doing! How could he let the heir of the Black family be named Shafik!"

"Regulus? Why are you so sure my father is Regulus and not Sirius?"

"Because after losing Black's bloodline for so many years, only the return of the direct bloodline will make the old house so cheering."

"In fact, Narcissa occasionally came back to visit my old lady these years, but after all, she is a side blood, unable to revive the sleeping old house. This is also the first time you saw the old house, it looked dilapidated The reason for the unbearable appearance."

"As for Sirius," the portrait's voice became extremely cold, "I don't think he will kindly leave an offspring for Black."

"Okay, Kyle, let's talk about your experience with your father. He was just a deserter. Can't my Black family provide him with shelter? As long as the manor is closed, so what if he is married to Voldemort?" ?”

Mrs. Black was so disrespectful to Voldemort?What is the reason?The resentment that the blood was cut off because of the war, or is there another reason?
Keeping this question in his heart, and lowering his head slightly, Kyle slowly told his story:
"I'm sorry ma'am, I haven't met Regulus."

"I was born in 1978, and I was placed at the door of the Muggle orphanage when I was born. There was only a note with the name Kyle Shafik written on it, so I never met Regulus."

Kyle's tone was a little indifferent, and the two lives were all orphans, which made Kyle a little repulsive to the word "parents".

As for bowing her head slightly, it seemed to Mrs. Black that she was sad.

But Kyle knew that it was just to prevent Mrs. Black from seeing the calculation in his eyes.

With the sudden appearance of the Black family, it is of course impossible for Kyle to regard it as his own family all of a sudden.

What Kyle considered was whether this sudden extra family background was a good thing or a bad thing for him?
