Harry Potter: The Path of Destiny

"Aren't you going to come in and take a look?" Sirius walked to the door of No. 12 and said to Nydia, who was still standing there blankly.

Nidia hesitated for a moment, then walked over, "If other members find out that you brought me here, I will say that you forced me to come."

Sirius shrugged indifferently, and tapped the door with his wand. After a metallic collision, the door creaked open.

"Maybe one day you will regret your decision today." Nydia followed Sirius into the Order of the Phoenix.

"What do you regret? Could it be that you would secretly come over and murder me?" Sirius said jokingly.

"Hmph! That's a possibility!" Nidia said.

They entered a foyer, and Nidia looked around. It could be seen that the house had been around for some time, and the furniture was already a bit old. There was a retro-style chandelier hanging on the roof, and there were also hanging lights on the wall. There are some old and blackened portraits, a large snake-shaped candlestick is placed on the table in the middle of the room, and there is a damp smell in the air throughout the room.

"This place looks pretty good now, thanks to the hard work of Molly and Harry and the others during the summer vacation." Sirius said as he took out a silver music box from his arms and put it in Put it in the glass door cabinet aside.

"What is that?" Nydia asked curiously. She was confused as to why Sirius carried this thing with him.

"This thing is the reason why I suddenly left in Knockturn Alley!" Sirius said, "I saw Mundungus when I was waiting for you to come out at the door of the potions shop! He was selling this thing to people in Knockturn Alley. This is an item that belongs to the Black family."

"Are you saying that Mundungus stole something from your house?" Nidia frowned, and her impression of Mundungus became even worse.

"...It's not really stolen. I threw it into the trash bag when I was cleaning...but it has the imprint of the Black family on it. Mundungus selling this thing around will arouse others' suspicion. "Sirius said.

"You got this back from him, so did he recognize you?" Nitya asked a little worried.

"No, the effect of the potion had not dissipated at that time. I pretended to be from the Ministry of Magic and asked him where he got this thing from and whether it was related to the wanted Sirius. He immediately gave it to him I wanted to use this to bribe me," Sirius said about the situation at that time, "But what is gratifying is that no matter how hard I pressed him, he never confessed me, nor did he reveal anything about the Order of the Phoenix."

"I still think he is unreliable. Such a person will find something out sooner or later." Nidia shook her head and said.

"It's a pity that I don't have the right to decide whether he should stay or go. After all, he has a mission, and I can only stay in this room." Sirius' tone revealed disappointment, "Okay, let's not talk about him. Now, do you want to visit here? Although there is not much worth seeing... you can go and see the wolfsbane potion I brewed. I think they have been successful. I will let Lupine come over. Shocked."

After Sirius finished speaking somewhat proudly, he led Nydia to visit the entire house. When passing by a row of portraits covered by black cloth, Sirius reminded her to try not to make a sound, because behind the black cloth was his mother's portrait. Once the portrait woke her up, she would scold her endlessly with some unpleasant words. Although Nydia was a little curious about what Sirius's mother looked like, she gave up the idea when she thought of being scolded with unpleasant words. She obeyed and walked softly as she passed the portraits.

The Hippogriff Buckbeak was placed in a room upstairs by Sirius. Nydia went up to say hello to it. It seemed to be well taken care of, except that it could not leave the house to go outside. soar.

"This is your family's genealogy!" Nidia walked excitedly to a tapestry covering the entire wall. On the top of the tapestry were embroidered several large characters: The oldest and noble Black family - forever pure.

"I knew you would be interested in this! Did you see a familiar name?" Sirius walked over with a smile and glanced at Draco Malfoy's name at the bottom of the tapestry.

Nydia blushed with embarrassment. She indeed discovered the tapestry after noticing Draco's name first, "Who are the other two? Next to Aunt Narcissa's name, Bellatrix Lestrange! And...this black spot, whose name has been erased?" Nydia looked at the tapestry again, and she noticed another black spot, "Me too. I didn’t see your name…”

"My mother erased all the names of people she thought were not qualified to appear on this tapestry. This is Andromeda, one of my favorite cousins. She married a lovely Muggle. I was also denamed by the family," Sirius explained. "She's Tonks' mother."

"Tonks? Is that the Tonks I saw at Station Nine and Three Quarters?" Nydia asked in surprise, "In that case, isn't she Draco's cousin?" ?”

"You girl, why are you focusing on Draco?" Sirius said with a headache.

"He never told me about these things!" Nydia suddenly realized that she didn't seem to know much about Draco's family.

"The Malfoy family doesn't like Muggles! Naturally, they won't mention to you a relative who married a Muggle. As for this Bellatrix Lestrange, you should have seen her name. , on your list of Death Eaters! She is currently being imprisoned in Azkaban with her husband! Before Voldemort lost power, the Malfoy family would only try to distance themselves from their relationship with them, so how could they bring it up specifically? !" There was a hint of ridicule in Sirius's tone.

At this moment, the door to the room was pushed open, and a house elf with only a tattered cloth around his waist walked in. He was muttering to himself, " The young master randomly brought a stranger into the house and ruined my noble mistress's house! My poor mistress..." The house elf was stunned when he raised his head and looked at Nydia, "Miss Doris! No...no, Miss Doris shouldn't be so young."

"You know my mother!" Nydia looked at the house elf in front of her in surprise.

"Mother?" The house elf raised his head and looked at Nydia, then at Sirius, and then said in horror, "Oh! Is this the daughter of the young master and Miss Doris? She gave birth secretly. Daughter? My dear mistress! What would she say if she knew this?"

"Shut up Kreacher! Stop talking nonsense and get out!" Sirius pointed angrily at the door, and the house elf he called Kreacher cursed and left.

Nydia turned to look at Sirius, raised her eyebrows and said, "Do you mind explaining to me? What's going on?"

"Don't listen to Kreacher's nonsense. He is old now and his brain has become a little abnormal." Sirius said with some embarrassment.

"But it does know my mother, right?" Nidia asked.

"Of course we know each other. Doris often came with Narcissa at that time. She was like the fourth daughter in the family!" Sirius said, "Doris has always taken great care of me. Compared with Narcissa and Narcissa, Bellatrix, Doris is more like my sister. When James and I were sent to solitary confinement at school, she often secretly brought us food... Later she graduated and I also left home. After her family ran away, I lost contact with her. The next time I heard about her was that she was married to Field... But at that time, James and I were busy with the Order of the Phoenix, so I didn't look for her... …I should go find her…”

Sirius sighed, his eyes showing regret.

"You don't have to blame yourself. My mother deliberately avoided everyone at that time, so even if you go to find her, you may not be able to see her." Nidia comforted her.

"I should have kept in touch with her... But I was still too young at that time, and I always felt that there would be many more opportunities to meet in the future, and everything would take a long time... As everyone knows, sometimes a meeting that you don't care much about will become... The last time..." Sirius' expression became even more sad. At this time, the people he recalled in his mind were not only Doris, but also James, and those friends who fought side by side with him back then. .
