Hogwarts Staff Maker

The Galactic News Department conducted a detailed interview on Sirius' deeds back then, and the secrets behind the Potters' deaths were all made public.

Liu Sen struck while the iron was hot and recruited the gossip news expert Rita Skeeter and the well-known autobiography expert Gilderoy Lockhart!

Let them organize and compile the story of Sirius Black and write two books in the shortest time possible.

The two books "The Redemption of Sirius" and "The First Half of My Life" received unprecedented response as soon as they were released!

The "extremely vicious" fugitive suddenly became a chivalrous man of great righteousness. People from all walks of life expressed sympathy and admiration for Sirius's experience, and even many older single witches sent him private messages...

(Lockhart, who was worried that he would not win the "Most Charming Smile Award" from Wizard Weekly, also released his own new books, "Traveling with Muggles", "Muggle World Legendary Adventures", "Dancing with Zouwu", "Traveling with Qilin"... Muggle Travels and Chinese Adventures were released together! Liu Sen called this writing speed amazing!)

……

Snape was very upset about Sirius's redress, because among the four people who bullied him during their school days, it was always James and Sirius who did the bullying!

In addition, when he learned that Sirius had temporarily replaced the Secret-Keeper, Snape became even more resentful. However, after reading two biographies of Sirius all night, most of his hatred was transferred to Voldemort and Peter Pettigrew!

It's the full moon time again, and Lupin reluctantly applied for 'sick leave', so Snape became the substitute teacher of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class!

As one of the developers of the wolfsbane potion, Snape hesitated for a while, but ultimately did not let the young wizard learn how to identify werewolves during his substitute class.

Instead, he continued Lupin's teaching progress and taught everyone about hinkypunk (a one-legged magical creature that likes to lure lost wizards into swamps).

……

After Lupin finished his transformation period, he did not return to class immediately. Instead, he and Liu Sen took a day off and came to Grimmauld Place, a square not far from King's Cross Station!

An old and luxurious mansion is sandwiched between a row of apartment buildings on the street, which is very incongruous, but Muggles passing by cannot see it.

They only knew that after Number 11, there was Number 13 at Grimmauld Place, but they subconsciously ignored the reason why there was no Number 12 due to magic.

There was no keyhole on the dark door, only a snake-shaped handle and a simple doorbell button.

Liu Sen pressed the doorbell very quickly. When Lupin wanted to stop him, it was too late. "Don't... press the doorbell..."

"Huh? Why?" Liu Sen was puzzled, but he understood the next second.

In addition to the sound of hurried footsteps inside the door, an old woman began to shout in a sharp voice.

The sound was deafening, the emotions were hysterical, and it was mixed with a lot of pure-blood 'greetings', which in modern terms would probably be equivalent to 'an astonishing amount of mother's content'!

Sirius rubbed his ears and opened the door, saying awkwardly: "It's a portrait of my mother...!"

Liu Sen looked in the direction of the sound. Behind the curtains covered with wormholes and mildew was a life-size portrait. Although it was old and yellowed, it was quite realistic.

The old lady above was wearing a black hat, drooling, her eyes rolling around, and the yellow skin on her face was tight because of screaming.

"You beast! You slut! You filthy and sinful bastard! You bastard, you freak, you ugly bastard, get out of here right now! How dare you defile my ancestral home—"

"Shut up, you horrible old witch, shut up!" Sirius shouted at the portrait of his mother.

The old lady's eyes widened and she shouted, "Prodigal son, shame on the family, the bastard I gave birth to!"

Sirius pulled the curtains as hard as he could, trying to cover the portrait, and Lupin hurried forward to help.

Liu Sen pondered for a moment, then took out his wand and pointed it at the portrait.

Seeing this, Lupin quickly stopped him and said, "Liu Sen, don't be impulsive! After all, this is a portrait of Sirius' mother! We can't destroy it!"

Sirius smiled and said, "I've heard about your lightning lightsaber a long time ago! It doesn't matter! I want to destroy this painting too!"

Liu Sen had finished his spell, a transparent barrier covered it, and the whole world became quiet.

"My elders taught me that 'a thing should not be destroyed'! Besides, am I such a violent person?"

The two looked over in surprise, only to see the old lady still opening and closing her mouth with saliva flying, but no sound came out.

Liu Sen explained: "I'm using eco-magic in reverse. I've sucked out the air inside! There's no sound in a vacuum! Oh, and in this state, the antique won't continue to oxidize. This painting can last longer!"

Sirius smiled and shook his head, "Exquisite magic! But I can't wait for this painting to rot!... Well, welcome to my home!"

Only then did Liu Sen have time to look around carefully.

This place is very, very run-down, the air is filled with dust and the smell of decay and mold. The wallpaper on the wall is peeling off, and the carpet underfoot is worn out and tattered, with a lot of wool scraps flying up with every step.

The chandelier above was an old gas lamp, which was emitting a flickering candle-like flame, but the dust on it covered most of the light, making the room shadowy, strange and eerie.

"This is my parents' house," Sirius introduced, "but I am the only one left in the Black family, so this house belongs to me now."

He led the two through the porch, around an umbrella stand that looked like it was made from a troll's severed leg, and toward the second floor.

"The renovation work is entirely up to you, the Galaxy Group. Don't ask me about the style, color, or anything like that. I don't care... Oh, you can ask Harry. He moved in during the holidays! Otherwise, I don't want to come back to this house!"

There is a row of heads hanging on the walls on both sides of the stairs. They are the house-elves that have served this house for generations!

Seeing Liu Sen looking at those heads, Sirius whispered, "They are so pathetic, aren't they? These house-elves even think it is a supreme honor to have their heads chopped off after death and made into specimens like this! Haha... I want to chop off Kreacher's head right now!"

It was apparent that the second-floor living room had once been ornate and elaborate, with a large window overlooking the street in front of the house.

A large fireplace is flanked by two ornate glass cabinets, and one wall is covered with a tapestry of the Black family tree. (Also Narcissa Malfoy and Bellatrix Lestrange! Sirius' name is burnt in.)

"There are vixens in the curtains! There's a Boggart in the desk, and I saw a nest of dead puffins under the sofa... These weird things use this place as their nest when no one is at home. I don't know what the damn Kreacher does all day!" Sirius complained.

Liu Sen smiled but did not say anything, and continued his tour. The glass cabinet doors on both sides of the fireplace were very dirty, and the black magic objects inside were even more bizarre.

Coiled snake skins, animal claws, a rusty dagger, a crystal bottle inlaid with opals containing an unknown liquid that looked like blood, a silver rhinitis box with fangs, a multi-legged tweezer-like tool, and... a gorgeous pendant box!

Liu Sen smiled and said, I found you!
