Just when Ivan destroyed Horcrux, Sirius, Harry and Hermione were spiraling down the stairs in the underpass.
"Where did Ivan go, he didn't keep up?" Hermione asked worriedly, looking back from time to time, and there was nothing but darkness.
"He may want to say a few words with Kreacher, or visit this house, don't worry, except for the portrait of my old mother, there is no danger on it. I will go to find him later." Sirius Say easily, "We are coming soon."
A dozen seconds later, they came to a wide room deep underground.
The scene in front of you is very spectacular. This room is like a huge library. Rows of bookshelves are densely packed with books, all of which are precious magic book(s).
On the surrounding walls, there are green tapestries with Black family badges and patterns. Although many places on the tapestries have been bitten by Doxy, the gold thread embroidered on them still shines in Winky / glittering.
The most striking thing is the tapestry facing the staircase, which is very large and almost covers the entire wall.
Sirius walked over, and Harry and Hermione hurried to keep up.
The further you go, the more magnificent this tapestry can be found. Harry clearly sees a family tree with branches and branches, which can be traced back to the Middle Ages.
But this is still not the top, there are still many branches above.
On the right side of the tapestry, from top to bottom, embroidered with several golden characters: the noble and oldest Black family is always pure.
"This is the family tree of the Black family!" Sirius said softly, "In addition to this piece, there is also a piece stored in my mother's room. She regards these two genealogy as the most beloved baby, is the family The history of pure lineage is the most direct proof that while she is still alive, only she can touch them, others ca n’t even touch them! "
"You don't seem to be on it!" Harry hesitated, looking at the bottom row of the family tree.
"Once on it." Sirius pointed to a small black hole in the tapestry, like a trace of burnt cigarettes, "After I escaped from home, my dear old mother destroyed me I guess the same is true for the piece in her room. No surprise. Based on what I know about her, she will definitely do it. "
"Are you running away from home?" Harry wondered.
"Yes, I was about sixteen years old that year." Sirius said in a plain tone, "I ran away from home because I had enough."
"Where did you go?" Harry asked him staring at him.
"Your father's home, Harry!" Sirius said, "Your grandparents are very understanding, they almost regarded me as the second son. Yeah, when the school is on holiday, I will temporarily stay in your father's house At the age of seventeen, I found a place myself. My uncle Alphad left me a considerable amount of gold, and he was cleared from here, probably because of this. "
Sirius pointed to another small black hole in the tapestry and continued, "Anyway, since then, I have taken care of myself, but Mr. Potter and my wife always welcome me to their house every Saturday for dinner, They are all good people. "
"But why are you?"
"Run away from home?" Sirius laughed bitterly, "Because I hate all of them, they also hate me. You do n’t know, Harry. My parents, they are crazy about pure lineage, they believe, as The people of Black family are born to be noble. And my fool brother, whose temperament is too weak, actually believed their words, that is him ... "
Sirius reached out a finger and pointed to a name at the bottom of the family tree: Regulus Black.
There is a date of death after the date of birth, about 13 years ago, that is, the escape of the collapse of Voldemort, and Sirius was captured one year before Azkaban.
"He is younger than me!" Sirius continued, with a trace of disdain in the corner of his mouth, "However, I was constantly reminded that his son is much stronger than me."
"But he is dead." Harry said.
"Yeah, I'm not surprised at all by this." Sirius said, "Stupid idiot, he joined the ranks of Death Eater(s)."
"Are you kidding me!" Harry and Hermione said in unison.
"Well, you have seen the situation of this house, don't you understand what kind of wizard(s) my family is?" Sirius said impatiently.
"Are yours, your parents also Death Eater(s)?" Harry hesitated to ask.
"No, no, but believe me, they think that the Voldemort's claim is correct. They are in favor of maintaining the purity of wizard(s) lineage, those who get rid of muggle heritage, and let people with pure lineage have the power."
Hearing Sirius, Harry and Hermione's looked paler.
"In this matter, they are not unique. Before Voldemort revealed his true face, many people believed that his claims on some things were correct, and many long-blooded wizard(s) families believed him. , Thinking that he can lead them back to the glory of the past. However, when they found that he was unscrupulous in order to gain power, they were timid and flinched. But I think my parents must think that Regulus joined from the beginning Among them, it can be regarded as a brave little hero. "
"Is he killed by Auror in the end?" Harry asked uncertainly.
"Oh, no!" Sirius said, and the scornful smile on his lips grew stronger. "He was killed by Voldemort, or more likely, he was killed under the direction of Voldemort's. I suspect Regulus It ’s not that important yet, it needs Voldemort to get rid of him personally. From what I know after his death, he has been stuck deep, and then he is afraid of what others want him to do and wants to quit. Alas, this fool It was so naive when I was a kid. You ca n’t send a resignation report to Voldemort and you ’re done. Either sell your life or die. ”
It can be seen that although the tone of Sirius is full of ridicule, there is still a trace of grief, and he is very concerned about the death of his brother.
Otherwise, Sirius will not bother to investigate his death.
Harry would like to say something more to comfort Sirius, but his scar suddenly tingled.
He couldn't help but yelled, covering his forehead with his hands.
"What's wrong, Harry?" Sirius asked worriedly, "Are you ..."
He did n’t finish his words. There was a scream of sudden deafness on the stairs, a scream made by a man before he died.
Sirius froze for a moment, and hurried towards it, Harry and Hermione followed, and Ivan was still on it. Did he encounter any accidents? !
They do n’t know what happened, especially Harry, he had an unusually ominous hunch, as if anything was approaching.
He had this feeling twice. That was when he faced Voldemort in the first grade and Tom Riddle's in the second grade. The sound just now sounded like Voldemort's. Thinking of the possibility that Voldemort is in this house, Harry is almost choking, and I dare not imagine it.
They took all their strength and energy, rushed up the stairs with the fastest speed, and then collided with anything on the stairs.
They all fell down, and Sirius jumped up holding wand(s).
In the light of wand(s), he saw Ivan standing intact in front of him, his expression calm, not at all like a danger. (To be continued.)
