Hogwarts: The Cat Wizard of the Moving Castle

Although Lu Ping's understanding of dishes is also random, he did not lie. At least the use of spices was very appropriate. The dishes are not so attractive, but they have a very good taste.

Everyone was full, and Harry stood up proactively and helped clear the table.

"What a skillful move." Lupine looked at Harry's back: "Most children at this age don't know how to do any housework. Thank God if they can boil hot water by themselves."

"It must have been practiced at the house of his Muggle relatives." Sirius said angrily, and then explained: "I always hate having a biased view of certain people because of fixed labels, so my words are aimed at His relatives are not Muggles."

Mu En was a little embarrassed, then nodded: "Well, maybe, I don't know much about it."

"Harry should have told you." Sirius said, "But he also said that now he is working as a magic apprentice with you, right? He will definitely not have to do these jobs in the future."

Mu En has never been a person who is good at lying. He nodded and said objectively: "It's not entirely true. After all, life is not all about magic and learning. Sometimes you still have to do a little trivial things in life."

"I agree." Lu Ping looked at Mu En in admiration.

"So, are you going to live here in the future?" Mu En stood up and looked around curiously. It was a mess here, and it wasn't just garbage. There was everything here, and many of them seemed valuable. Expensive things are piled up in a corner like garbage, and it is impossible to put them away without taking some time to clean them up.

"Well, I don't know, Kreacher can't do much. I now suspect that his standard for 'cleanliness' is as it is now, so he can't understand what cleaning is." Sirius shook his head helplessly: "The workload is still too much. Moreover, many foxes were born here, and there was a Boggart before, but Lupine put it upstairs on the roof, so I don’t know how to deal with it.”

With that said, Harry had tidied up the kitchen and walked out.

Then, he didn't know whether he stepped on a warped wooden board or something, and there was a harsh crunching sound.

Sirius stood up suddenly and said quickly: "No!"

Before he could finish his words, a bloodcurdling scream resounded throughout the room.

In the aisle next to Harry, two velvet curtains covered with insect holes were suddenly lifted, but there were no doors or small rooms behind them.

A face suddenly appeared, and he was startled. He quickly retreated, and when he stood still, the wand had already appeared in his hand.

He looked carefully at the face, and for a moment he thought it was a window. Behind the window, an old lady wearing a black hat was screaming desperately, one after another, as if someone was doing something to her outside the window. With whipping. But in the next second, Harry recognized that this was not a window or a person outside the window, but a life-size portrait. It was also the most realistic and unpleasant portrait he had ever seen in his life.

The old lady was drooling, her eyes were rolling, and the yellow skin on her face was tense from screaming. Behind them in the hall, other portraits were awakened and began to scream so loudly that they were deafening.

The magic in Harry's hand was a little tentative, but he still focused his attention on Lupine and Sirius. They rushed over and tried to close the curtains to hide the damn 'scream', but they couldn't. Can't pull it up. The old lady's screams became more and more harsh, and she waved her claw-like hands as if she wanted to scratch their faces.

"Beasts! Bitch! Dirty and sinful scoundrels! Bastards, freaks, ugly monsters, get out of here! How dare you desecrate my ancestral home——"

Sirius spoke, and he said to Lupine: "Go and shut up those stupid guys."

Lupine let go of the curtain and turned toward the other screaming portraits.

"Meow--"

A sharp sound rang out, and before Lupine could cast a stun spell on the portraits, a fat cat suddenly jumped out from outside the portraits, barking in displeasure, and jumped into their faces, yelling, and stretched out its claws.

"Fat Fat! Fatty, come back quickly!" Sindel watched worriedly as Fat Cat ran to other portraits. She was obviously very afraid of the weird and vicious people in other portraits, but she still ran out in the blink of an eye.

Mu En glanced at it, looking helpless.

What's the name of Pangpang?

Forget it, nothing will happen as long as that big fat cat is here.

On the other side, Sirius yelled angrily: "Shut up, you terrible old witch, shut up!"

When the old lady heard this, her face turned pale.

"You're a fool!" She widened her eyes and shouted sternly: "A prodigal son, the shame of the family, the evil offspring I gave birth to!"

"I told you, shut up!" Sirius roared angrily, trying his best to pull the curtains shut. Harry looked on blankly, but thinking that Sirius seemed to be unable to do it alone, he hurriedly went. Offered a hand.

After a while, they finally closed the curtain again, and the old lady's screams disappeared, followed by meows and meows.

"Sirius, I'm sorry, is this?!" Harry was a little embarrassed.

Sirius panted slightly, sat back on the chair, pushed away the long black hair that blocked his eyes, and said a little heavily: "Yes, this is my mother. Recite a permanent sticking spell on your portrait, like this You can’t understand this idea of ​​allowing yourself to be hung in the most conspicuous place on the wall of your ancestral home forever, right?”

"Indeed, a little bit." Harry was very embarrassed. He thought of a very old thing. At that time, he had just entered elementary school. He didn't want to go home because he was bullied by Dudley, but because Dudley was still too powerful, he didn't want to go home. It shows that I can still make friends.

Then, not wanting to go back to the Dursleys' house, I happened to be a guest at a friend's house.

Unfortunately, my friend was beaten by his mother that day.

Well, even with this embarrassment, he didn't expect that he would still be able to look back on that day.

"Anyway, Harry and Granger, you can treat this place as your own home. You can trust this." Sirius said, "However, there are still some dangers here. You should be careful when you leave."

"I was attacked by a cloak just the day before yesterday. He wanted to strangle me." Lupine also said with a smile: "There is also a grandfather clock in the corridor on the second floor. It will fire screws at people."

This doesn't sound like a home at all.

As for Mu En, he was wandering around here. It could be seen that both Lupine and Sirius wanted to talk to Harry more, so leave the time to them.

Then, he walked to a glass cabinet in the living room, glanced around and left.

After a moment, he stepped back step by step.

Then, his eyes were on the cabinet.

A flash of fluorescent light rose from his hand, and the fluorescent light penetrated the old yellowed glass and tried its best to illuminate the cabinet.

A small thing reflected the faint fluorescent light with golden light.

Mu En's face gradually got closer and continued to observe.

"Jones, what's wrong?" Lupine noticed something unusual on Mu En's side.

Afterwards, everyone in the living room focused their attention on him.

"Uncle Moon?" Harry was also a little curious.

Mu En turned around and inquired: "This cabinet is protected by magic. Do you mind if I use some rough methods to open it? There may be some important things inside."

Although Sirius was a little confused, he nodded: "Of course, I don't care about this."

He had just finished speaking when the sound of shattering glass was heard. Mu En had already punched in, and not even a white mark appeared on his skin among the sharp glass fragments.

Then, a golden prosperous locket appeared in his hand.

"Sirius." Moon spoke: "You just said that your brother is R·A, right?"

"right."

"You said before that he joined the Death Eaters, right?" Mu En said again.

"Yes." Sirius nodded in confusion: "Jones, what's going on?"

Mu En took a deep breath: "No, I'm not sure yet. Can you tell me Regulus' full name?"

Sirius nodded, then recalled, and said: "Regulus Arcturus Black."

"R·A·B." Mu En raised the corner of his mouth: "I didn't expect it, but I finally found it."

Sirius stood up nervously and looked at Moon worriedly: "Jones, what happened? Did Regulus do something?"

"No, don't be nervous." Moon's tone was not anxious: "Sirius, your brother may be a little different from what you think."

As he said this, Moon thought for a while: "Perhaps in Dumbledore's words, he is a hero."

Feeling the secret aura of the locket begin to spread towards him, the alchemy runes on Mu En's body burst out with golden light, dispersing the aura like breathing.

"As for what he did, we currently only have one result, not a process. Regarding what happened in the past -"

As he spoke, a short figure appeared at the other end of the living room.

"Master Regulus's locket!!" Kreacher exclaimed, gasping for air, his chest rising and falling sharply: "Put it down, you thief, Kreacher put it in the cabinet. , no one is allowed to move.”

As he said that, he even wanted to rush over.

"Kreacher, shut up!!" Sirius said, and then quickly added: "Don't move, I order you."

Mu En looked at the house elf who was in an abnormal mood, and then slowly spoke.

"I remember you said just now that Regulus and Kreacher have always been close?!"

"Yes." Sirius still didn't understand what happened.

"So now it seems that maybe someone knows what happened." Mu En said.

"Kreacher, tell me the story of this locket. Where did you get it?" Moon said.

Kreacher kept his mouth shut and just stared at Moon. It was not until Sirius repeated his words that he had to speak under the order.

However, he just said: "I got this from Master Regulus."

"Word game." Mu En shook her head helplessly and sat back in her chair.

Out of respect for Regulus, Mu En was not in a hurry and did not have any ill intentions towards Kreacher for the time being.

"Listen, Kreacher, I just want to know the past of this locket. You can trust me, my purpose will not be too different from yours."

Kreacher just looked at him without saying a word.

Obviously, the only thing he was praised for was his loyalty to Regulus.

As for whether his brain works well and whether he discriminates against Mu En and others, that is another matter.

"Sirius, help me order him to tell him everything he knows." Moon said.

"Okay." Sirius didn't hesitate at all. He already felt that whether it was his brother, the box, or Kreacher, he had his own unknown past.

And in this past, according to the word 'hero' that Mu En mentioned just now, there seems to be some not-so-good stories.

Yes, heroes - always tragic.

"Kreacher, I order you to tell everything you know immediately. The locket, you, Regulus, tell everything." Sirius quickly issued the order, not giving Kreacher a chance to play word games to fool people. .

"Master. Me."

Driven by the order, no matter how unwilling he was, he had to speak.

"That happened after Master escaped, so Master, of course you don't know." Kreacher looked at Sirius fiercely, and then his expression suddenly became very respectful, and his whole face was constantly distorted.

"But Master Regulus is different. He knows what responsibility is. He is a responsible Black. He knows how important his bloodline and surname are."

"Haha." Sirius was not interested in Kreacher's words with a gun and a stick.

"For many years he often spoke of the Dark Lord"

As Kreacher spoke, the entire living room gradually became quiet. No matter who it was, their eyes kept flickering on Kreacher and Sirius.

"Thunder...Master Regulus took out a locket from his pocket, just like the one owned by the Dark Lord."

Kreacher was already sobbing, and tears were flowing down both sides of his long nose: "He asked Kreacher to hold it, and after the stone basin was dry, he would change the locket..."

"Did he drink the potion himself?" Mu En leaned forward and asked about the answer.

"Yes...yes." Kreacher cried and replied: "He ordered...Kreacher to leave and leave him alone.

He told Kreacher... to go home... and not to tell the mistress... what he had done.

But I must...must destroy the first locket.

Then he drank...drank the potion...Kreacher changed the locket...and watched...Master Regulus...being dragged underwater...and then..."
