Hogwarts: I Am Such a Model Wizard

Chapter 445 The locket in the glass cabinet

Tens of thousands of galleons flew away like this, and Kyle only felt a pain in his body.

 But there is no way, compared with these golds, Hufflepuff's gold cup is more important.

Like Ravenclaw's diadem, the golden cup is also something left behind by the Big Four.

Voldemort's prodigal son made it into a Horcrux and gave it to Bellatrix for safekeeping.

However, Bellatrix did not keep Voldemort's things in her own home like Lucius Malfoy did, but chose the Gringotts vault which she thought was safer.

But speaking of Horcruxes... In addition to the golden cup that is currently out of reach, there is another one that is closer, which can even be said to be within easy reach.

 This is also the main reason why Kyle agreed to follow Sirius to No. 12 Grimmauld Place.

As for the box, it was a complete surprise. In fact, Kyle never expected that the key to opening the box would be Sirius Black himself.

He originally wanted to try using ordinary magic spells first. If it really couldn't be opened, he would directly use the Fire Spell, or ask Nicoléme for help the next time he went to Devonshire.

Thinking of this, Kyle first glanced at Kreacher who was still tied to the ground, casually lifted the restraining spell he had just cast, then turned around and asked:

 “Sirius, can I visit this place?”

Kreacher, who was about to leave, suddenly stopped in place when he heard these words.

"The scumbag master brought back a little devil. Kreacher has never seen such an evil wizard. He was not satisfied with blowing up the living room. Now he wants to blow up other places. Kreacher wants to guard the mistress's house. Anyone can do it. Don't try to ruin it..."

"Shut up, Kreacher!" Sirius couldn't help shouting: "No one wants to destroy this place. If anyone does, it must be me!"

He looked at Kyle again, "There's nothing to see here, but if you're interested, of course it's fine, but you have to be careful not to wake up those portraits.

 In addition, it is best not to go alone to the second underground and third floors above. Luping and I have not checked these places and are not sure whether they are safe. "

"Don't touch the locked cabinet in the living room." Lupine suddenly said: "If my guess is correct, there should be a Boggart there."

 He ​​has never forgotten how exaggerated Kyle's way of dealing with the Boggart was. If it happened again, this place might be really ruined.

Kyle smiled. Last time it was purely because he was unprepared, and now Boggart is just like that to him.

But he didn’t explain anything. He just took out his wand and restored the ruins of the living room.

 Sirius and Lupine also helped.

 With three people together, the place quickly returned to its original state.

Kreacher finally stopped muttering, but still followed closely behind them, monitoring their every move.

“I was just going to ask.” When they came to the corridor, Kyle looked at Sirius, “Did you buy a new wand?”

"Oh, you're talking about this?" Sirius raised his hand and shook the wand inlaid with gold and gems, "Of course not. I'm still wanted. How could I go to Diagon Alley to buy a wand?" .

 This is an old wand I found in the storage cupboard. Although it is very difficult to use, there is no other choice now. "

Accompanied by Sirius, Kyle visited the foyer and every room on the second floor.

The lights here are very dim, and their shadows are illuminated on the wall, almost blending into the darkness. It looks like the lair of some evil wizard.

“When I cleaned the house, the first thing I did was throw away all these lamps,” Sirius said with a frown.

He hates places that are too dark, because dementors always come out of the darkness without any warning. If the surroundings are too dark, he will always subconsciously think of this bad memory.

Hearing his words, Kreacher who was following behind started talking again.

But this time Sirius didn't bother to talk to him. Anyway, before Harry moves in, all these old-fashioned gas lamps must be replaced. The room must be brightly lit, and there must be no blind spots.

 After walking around in a circle, several people came to the living room on the second floor.

 This is a large room, much larger than the living room they stayed in before.

Kyle found the cabinet Lupine was talking about, right next to an armchair. It seemed that it was originally used to store some important documents, but now it is occupied by a Boggart.

 You can see the cabinet shaking slightly from a distance.

Kyle was not interested in Boggart. He just glanced at it and looked away. In front of the opposite wall, there was a larger glass door cabinet with some strange things in it.

Kyle walked over.

“If one day I were to completely clean out my house, the first thing that would be thrown out would be the stuff in it.”

Sirius stepped forward and said in a disgusted tone, "Almost all of them are dark magic items. They just like this and display it like a treasure..."

Kyle looked at the glass cabinet. In the middle was an open, dusty box with a medal of the Order of Merlin inside. Kyle also has one, but his belt is purple, while the one in front of him is green.

 The Order of Merlin, First Class, was awarded to Sirius's grandfather for his "contributions to the Ministry of Magic."

"It means giving them a lot of gold." Sirius said contemptuously, "At that time, a dark wizard turned the wizarding world upside down, and they needed gold to recruit more Aurors."

“You can exchange it for a first-class medal...” Kyle whispered: “The amount of gold must be huge.”

“I don’t know the specific amount.” Sirius said. “It is said that it was exchanged for half of the gold in the treasury. He believed that this would enhance the honor and status of the Black family.”

“How willing to give up half of the gold!” Kyle smacked his lips in surprise and continued to look down.

Next to the box was a silver snuff box. Kyle poked it with his wand. It immediately separated from the middle and turned into a big mouth biting the wand, while also spitting out a gray-brown powder.

This powder is very similar to one of Zuko's prank products. It will form an ugly hard crust when it sticks to the body, but it is not harmful and can be removed with a simple cleaning spell.

On the left is a particularly ugly silverware, like a spider with tweezers on its head, and it also runs like a spider.

As soon as he opened the cabinet door, he tried to run away, but Sirius smashed him to pieces with a thick book.

 A music box with a group of distorted shadows painted on it is probably not a good thing either.

 A lot of antique seals, this is quite normal.

Also... At this time, Kyle's heart suddenly jumped twice.

 He found a golden locket placed in an inconspicuous corner.

 …
