Chapter 27 Entering the Black Mansion

Early the next morning, when Ginny woke up and went downstairs, Harry was already sitting in the kitchen with a restless face.When he saw Ginny, he smiled at her a little stiffly: "Good morning, Ginny!"

"Morning!" Ginny smiled back at him, then turned to prepare breakfast on the stove.Throwing the bread into the oven, cracking two eggs into the pan, and adding bacon, her movements were relaxed and casual, but Harry's mood at the moment was obviously different from hers.When Ginny put the breakfast on the table, Harry took the bread she handed over almost mechanically, biting unconsciously, while his eyes looked out of the window from time to time, obviously impatient to see Dumbledore The figures of Lido and Sirius appeared outside the house.

"Harry!" Seeing his ecstasy, Ginny finally couldn't help calling him out, and Harry seemed to come to him suddenly: "Ah, Ginny, you called me? What's the matter?"

"Your clothes." She sighed resignedly, pointing to Harry's shirt, the front of which was smeared with jam.

"Oh, Merlin." Harry hurriedly pulled the napkin on the table and wiped it, but it became more and more messy.Ginny shook her head, and threw a clean one at his clothes, "Harry, Headmaster Dumbledore and the others won't be here so early, if there is a result, he will definitely tell you."

"I know, just thinking that this is related to the real situation back then, I am a little anxious." Harry said in a loud voice, "For so many years, I have never known what happened back then, what happened to my parents , Do I have any other relatives. Now suddenly someone came out and said it was my godfather, but he was also an Azkaban prisoner who was charged with betraying my parents, and he also told me about my parents' death , because of another person’s betrayal, all of this makes me feel confused, so I need an answer, a real answer.”

Seeing Harry's appearance, Ginny sighed silently, and stood up: "Well, since you can't sit still, let's wait for them at the door. At least blowing the wind can make you relax Take a break." Then, she pulled Harry up and walked to the door of the Burrow.

In the early morning sky, the gray that has not yet faded has revealed a clear blue. Although the sun has not reached the point of dazzling, it has already warmed up.Harry kept looking up into the distance, and walked further and further along the path at the door, while Ginny just leaned against the tree trunk in the garden and did not follow.

The sun was already high when the figures of Dumbledore and Sirius came into view.After Harry saw them, he didn't stop for a moment, and immediately ran towards them, and Ginny followed after seeing them.When he ran in front of them, Harry stopped again and looked at Dumbledore hesitantly: "Principal Dumbledore, what the hell..." He was suddenly afraid of the answer, not knowing where to ask.

Dumbledore seemed to fully understand his mood, smiled kindly, and was about to speak, but Sirius couldn't help but hugged Harry: "Harry, Principal Dumbledore understands everything, he believes me, he Said that he would clear my name. My dear godson, I have also heard from Headmaster Dumbledore about your life these years, so let me take care of you in the future."

Hearing Sirius' words, Harry immediately understood that what he said last night was indeed true. The person in front of him was indeed his father's best friend, his godfather. There was a light in his eyes, and he looked at him with longing. Looking at him: "Sirius, my—— godfather?" Seeing Sirius nodding, he finally hugged Sirius back, "So I also have a godfather, will you really live with me?"

"Of course, Harry, you are James' son and my godson. If anyone dares to bully you, I will make them look good." Sirius grinned and shook his fist at Harry.

"Sirius, I'm afraid it won't work. Harry still has to stay at his aunt's house for two weeks every holiday." Seeing the agitated expressions on both of them, Dumbledore patted Sirius on the shoulder, and then turned to Harry smiled.

"It doesn't matter, Professor Dumbledore, if you mean the blood magic, I believe I can give him the same protection as it does." Sirius wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Dumbledore: "Sirius , remember what you promised me last night, and be Harry's 'Godfather'." Dumbledore emphasized the pronunciation of "Godfather", reminding Sirius of his status as an elder, and obviously he still has some problems. Not going to tell Harry.

"Okay, I see, Professor Dumbledore." Sirius slumped his shoulders helplessly, but winked at Harry behind Dumbledore's back. That expression suddenly reminded Ginny of her twin brothers, who always The first time he was about to play a prank without telling Mo Li, he always had this expression.

Seeing that they had finally calmed down, Ginny walked forward with a smile: "In this case, Professor Dumbledore, why don't we go into the room and discuss the next thing?"

"Thank you, Ginny, but I want to take Harry to live with me." Sirius obviously couldn't wait, and turned to look at Harry, "Harry, what do you think? Do you want to come directly to my place?" I have photos of your father when he was studying, and what happened to us back then, I want to tell you. I heard from Professor Dumbledore that you were also on the Gryffindor Quidditch team, and you flew as well as James did back then , Harry, you must know that James was the star player of our academy team back then."

Sirius' eyes sparkled, obviously recalling the days when he and James Potter got into trouble and studied together, and Harry couldn't help but nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, I also want to know what happened to my father back then. The thing is, it's just..." He looked at Ginny in embarrassment as he spoke, "Ginny is at home alone, and I promised to spend the summer vacation with her."

"That's okay, Ginny, you can go too, I promise I won't let you guys get bored." Sirius persuaded, and then gave his godson a teasing look, "Of course, if you are with you If you don't need me, I promise I won't bother you. Harry, I have to say that in this regard, you are much better than your father. Your father only successfully asked your mother Lily when he was in the seventh grade. "

Harry's face flushed suddenly, but he secretly looked at Ginny expectantly.Dumbledore pondered for a while, as if he had thought of something: "Ginny, you should also go to Black's house for a while, and go home when your parents come back."

Ginny immediately understood that Dumbledore obviously knew the possible consequences of Tom's materialization, so he was worried about the safety of her, who was once controlled by Tom, and wanted to immediately cleanse Sirius. To clear the charges, after all, the rebuilding of the Order of the Phoenix also needs manpower and time.But this kind of development is undoubtedly what she hoped for, and she finally had the opportunity to enter the Black mansion, so she nodded with a smile: "Okay, then Harry, let's go in and pack our bags first, and then go together?"

Harry nodded, and was about to enter the house with Ginny, but Dumbledore said again: "By the way, Ginny, I will pick you up and take you home after your parents come back. Final confirmation is needed on the identity of your family's pet Scabbers that Sirius spoke of. Sirius still needs him to clear his name. And until we catch Peter, please don't tell me that Scabbers may be Peter. Anyone, including in letters to your parents."

"Okay, Principal Dumbledore." Ginny nodded again, then turned and walked into the Burrow with Harry.By the time they finished packing, Dumbledore and Sirius had clearly finished their discussions, and Sirius was circling anxiously.After seeing them coming out, he couldn't wait to take their boxes, and then looked at Dumbledore: "Principal Dumbledore, then I will take them first?"

Dumbledore nodded, "Okay, I'll be back in a few days." With his consent, Sirius motioned for Harry and Ginny to pull his robes, and immediately Apparated.

When they stood on the ground again, they had reached 12 Grimmauld Place.Ginny looked at the old mansion of the Black family in front of her. The once glorious and noble family house now looked dilapidated and desolate. Even the black door was mottled and mottled, and the silver snake-shaped handle was dull.

Standing at the gate, Sirius' eyes flashed a complex look of memory, nostalgia, disgust, and pain. After a pause, he finally stepped forward, held the doorknob, and muttered a spell in a low voice, accompanied by With a dull sound, the door was pushed open.He looked back at Harry and Ginny: "Come in, welcome to my former home - Black Mansion."

Ginny and Harry walked in with their luggage.After closing the door, their eyes suddenly darkened, so that they could only slowly move forward while letting their eyes adapt to the dim light.After finally reaching the hall, a very old house-elf with a dirty rag around his waist came down from upstairs: "Is Miss Sissy here? Old Kreacher really didn't No, I didn't hear the voice of Miss Sissy coming in in time."

The elf who called himself Kreacher muttered as he walked, and when he finally got downstairs and saw who was coming, he suddenly stopped, stared at Sirius dumbfounded, and couldn't make a sound.And Sirius looked at it with disgust: "It's been a long time, Kreacher, I didn't expect you to be here."

At the same time, when the ancient Black Mansion welcomes an unexpected former owner, the luxurious Malfoy Manor far away also ushers in an unexpected and mysterious guest.
