Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Chapter 95 Heir to the Black Family

Luna's dress robe had a base of mithril brocade, embellished with blue velvet flowers, with cuffs made of gold velvet satin, and a golden hare on the hem.

Anriel's dress robe is made of gilded satin as a whole, and the pattern chosen is still blue velvet flowers, but it is matched with silver-threaded blood-red velvet brocade, and a silver falcon is displayed on his shoulder.

Overall, it combines magnificence and elegance, without being redundant but retaining a sense of dignity that is part of the ritual.

And the blue velvet flowers with the same pattern - and the embroidery material with one gold thread and one silver thread, it's almost like a public display of affection...

I don’t know if people in this era can accept such straightforward behavior of showing off their affection…

No, this is the UK, it's very open, so it should be possible...

Anriel kept a 40% deposit, which made Madam Malkin more determined to complete this order - when he and Luna left, Madam Malkin sent them to the street corner, and she seemed to want to escort them back to Hogwarts.

But this also proves that not everyone knows Anriel...

At least in the UK, Anriel is not as well-known as Harry Potter.

......

"Ah, Professor Lupin, are you recovered?"

After returning to school and sending Luna back to the common room, Anriel met Remus Lupin carrying a suitcase in the corridor.

He looked weak, but in good spirits.

"A piece of chocolate?"

Anriel flicked his wrist, and a large bar of Honeydukes' signature chocolate appeared in his hand.

Then he suddenly thought of a question -

Is it OK for canines to eat chocolate?

"Ah, okay, thank you, Anriel...see you in the next class."

Lupin broke off a small piece of chocolate and put it in his mouth, thanking Anriel.

Well...it seems to be fine now.

"Well... there's one more thing."

Anriel thought about it and stopped Lupin who was picking up the box and preparing to go back to the office.

"No problem, go ahead."

Lupin was in no hurry.

"How's Blake doing now? I mean, is he more stable emotionally?"

Hearing Anriel mention Sirius, Lupin looked back and confirmed that there was no one else in the corridor - especially Snape. Then Lupin spoke softly:

"No, he's still very irritable and wants to go into the school to find Peter from time to time...

To be honest, all of Sirius' statements are reasonable, and I have already...believed that what he said is the truth."

Lupin sighed, which contained his sadness for the situation of his two old friends and his regret for the choices they made in the past...

"Anriel, anything else?"

"No more. Take care of yourself, Professor."

Anriel waved goodbye to Lupin.

After watching Lupin disappear around the corner, Anriel shrugged.

He hadn't thought he'd run into Lupin here—

Because he is now at the staircase leading to the eighth floor.

Perhaps, Lupin returned to school from the Shrieking Shack, taking the shortcut that the "Marauders" were all very familiar with...Sirius in the original book should have done the same.

Anriel thought about some unnecessary little things and then climbed the stairs to the eighth floor.

It's almost twelve o'clock noon...

Anriel guessed that someone was already waiting there for him to come over.

......

"Owner."

The outline of Regulus' figure emerged in the air, slowly gaining color and taking on a human form.

He was kneeling on one knee, and a hoarse boy's voice came from his throat, sounding inexplicably weak.

But in fact, since Anriel fully mastered the Resurrection Stone, the nature of Regulus' existence has been upgraded... He really just looks weak.

Anyone who underestimates this young man who was forcibly pulled back from the underworld will suffer a miserable end.

"Well, have you completed the first task assigned to you?"

Anriel asked him.

In the past three days, Regulus has visited some well-known libraries and "borrowed" to learn about the various "major events" that have occurred over the years.

He also understood how terrifying and awe-inspiring his "master" identity was...

Then, Regulus visited some of the more famous places in the past decade or so...such as the Potter family's old house that had become a ruin.

There are also some less famous places... For example, the Black family's ancestral home at Grimmauld Place...

Anriel suddenly thought of a possibility——

"Regulus."

"Master, I am here."

Regulus stood up and responded respectfully.

"Did you know your brother is still alive?"

Anriel asked him.

"Yes, he was imprisoned in Azkaban shortly after the Potters were murdered by the Dark Lord, and escaped about 7 months ago. He is now being hunted by the Ministry of Magic."

Regulus answered five questions for every one he asked, showing great awareness of being a subordinate.

"Is he a Death Eater?"

Anriel asked knowingly.

"He is definitely not a Death Eater - Sirius Black has always been at odds with the rest of the Black family, and he has a hatred and extreme resistance to the Dark Arts.

Besides, I had never seen him alive in a gathering of Death Eaters around the Dark Lord - with his abilities and courage, he would have been a threat only if he was dead...

Otherwise, if he joined the Dark Force, he would not be an ordinary follower on the periphery."

Regulus knew everything.

"So, your parents did kick him out of the Black household, right?"

"Yes, so it was actually 'my parents' who kicked him out of the Black family."

Regulus nodded.

"Then your ancestral home, is it you who owns it now, or..."

Anriel considered his words.

"it's me."

Regulus answered without hesitation:

"Without my permission, even if he still has the noble blood of the Black family flowing in his body, he cannot set foot in the door of the Black family."

Anriel probably understood.

In the original work, the reason why Sirius Black was able to obtain the control of the Black family's ancestral home by "inheritance" was entirely because he was the only male left in this generation of the Black family.

This was true even if he was driven out of the family by Mrs. Black and all traces of his existence were wiped out.

But once Regulus returns...

Then this "abandoned child" who has been driven out of the home will never have the opportunity to compete with the "master" for the right to belong to the home.

The same applies to the original work, when after Sirius' death, Dumbledore was worried about whether Bellatrix Lestrange could inherit the Black family's ancestral home.

As long as Sirius lived, Bella would never inherit the house.

And now, as long as Anriel is willing, Sirius will never be able to step into the door of No. 12 Grimmauld Place in his life.
