The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

As Dumbledore disappeared, two parchment envelopes sealed with the Ministry of Magic's wax seal were thrown on the table.

After Link took the envelope and opened it, he saw two pieces of exquisite parchment engraved with complex patterns clearly recording his and Emily's previous Owl exam results.

Among them, Link's grades basically did not exceed his expectations. Except for courses such as History of Magic and Astronomy that he didn't put much thought into, he almost got all O (excellent) grades.

Emily is stronger.

Thanks to the good study habits developed by Mr. Victoria, she achieved all O's even though the elective courses were almost full.

She is one of those geniuses who only appear once every few decades at Hogwarts. She is a person who will 100% be recruited by the Ministry of Magic to embark on a bright career after graduation.

"You did well in the exam. You can take my NEWT course when school starts. At the same time, mainstream NEWT courses such as Defense Against the Dark Arts and Charms will also open doors for you. In addition, if you are interested in alchemy, you can also You can apply to Dumbledore and he will find someone to teach you."

Snape stood behind Link and nodded.

He seemed very pleased with Link and Emily's results and even offered to have the report cards framed.

This is what most young wizards will do after getting their transcripts, because although the OWL exam transcripts are not as advanced as NEWT, they can still be very effective in job hunting after graduation.

But Link and Emily didn't care about it, and very calmly stuffed the report card into the pocket of the Seamless Stretching Spell, preparing to take it back to Mrs. Foley and Mr. Victoria for submission.

At their current level, they don't need any test scores to prove themselves.

The reason why I still put so much thought into this aspect is purely to make my parents happy.

Moody, the former Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, was obviously not interested in Link and Emily's test scores. He came straight to the door while Link and the others were studying the transcripts.

The door to the living room was slammed open.

This startled Sirius Black, who had been waiting outside the door and eavesdropping with his ear against the door. He lost his balance and almost fell into Moody's arms.

"Ahem!~"

After finally regaining his balance, Sirius coughed twice in embarrassment, and his face became a little ferocious after seeing Link, Snape and others who were talking in the living room.

The soundproofing effect of the old house at No. 12 Grimmauld Place was not very good. He had heard all the conversation between Link, Dumbledore and others just now.

Moody also seemed to notice that Sirius was a little emotionally disturbed. He took two steps forward to block Sirius' sight and said:

"Don't be impulsive, the matter has been settled."

"Where is it done? He didn't make any substantive commitment at all! Let me tell you, we don't need their help at all! If we want gold and galleons, my Black family's treasury in Gringotts and more, if we want power, we also have Deng With Bledo here, we can handle everything ourselves!"

Sirius lowered his voice and growled. He had never had any good feelings towards Link from the beginning to the end.

"Oh? Really?" Link in the living room raised his eyebrows and said, "I guess you also thought the same way when you went to the cave to steal the soul weapon some time ago, right? But what was the result?"

Sirius was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he stopped pretending, pushed Moody aside and entered the living room and said:

"It was just an accident! Someone among us leaked information, which caused us to be ambushed by Voldemort's men! Otherwise we would have succeeded long ago."

"Wai Wai Wai Wai! Could it be me that the traitor you mentioned who leaked the information? I was in Germany during that time, and I only found out about your plan at that time."

Snape took two steps forward and stood in front of Link Sirius.

He had a contemptuous smile on his face, and he would not miss anything that could shock Sirius.

"you……"

Sirius's face instantly turned red after being reprimanded like this.

To be honest, when it comes to the traitor, the first option he can think of is Snape. After all, Snape's position in their team is as Link said before, a thankless role.

But no matter how you look at it, it has nothing to do with Snape.

"Losers always have countless excuses for their failure."

Link shook his head and said, turning around and taking Emily out of the living room.

Unlike Snape, he had no interest in getting involved with Sirius, a fool.

This almost indifferent attitude made Sirius almost crazy. He gritted his teeth and reached out to grab Link, but a wand with a gray light suddenly appeared and pressed against his forehead.

It's Moody!

Moody looked grim and said while forcing Sirius back:

"I'm warning you again, don't give me trouble! If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute!"

He didn't like Link either, but he hated Sirius Black even more.

The reason is that Link, the eldest son of the Foley family, obviously has his own ulterior motives.

But as a collaborator, Moody is actually willing to fight side by side with Link.

Because at least when the interests are the same, Link is definitely the best ally. A powerful and intelligent person like him can always fully understand your strategic intentions and give you the strongest support.

What about Sirius?

This person is emotional, childish, irritable, and not very good at fighting. He often messes up a lot of things and holds them back.

Moody even thought that Sirius must have been stunned by his more than ten years in Azkaban, which is why he developed such a strange character.

To be honest, if Dumbledore hadn't insisted and Sirius could indeed provide a large amount of funds to the Order of the Phoenix, he would never have allowed such a dragster to join.

Just like now, Dumbledore had clearly reached a consensus with Link through the exchange of interests.

But Sirius just couldn't see through it, and he wanted to jump out and scream at this moment.

What should I do if Link is angry because of this thing and it stumbling upon them during the cooperation?

Sirius was forced back into the drawing room step by step by Moody, and even Snape's unpleasant jeers as he passed by could not arouse his anger again.

Sirius would never be like this if it were someone else, but now he was facing Moody, the Auror King Moody!

But as far as fighting was concerned, Sirius knew very well that he was no match for Moody, and he was not even qualified to fight with Moody.

If that's all, forget it, half-mad Sirius has never been afraid of death.

But Moody's character is still very bad.

He would never kill Sirius, but would turn Sirius into a skunk or a slug or something like that and torment him in front of Snape and Link.

If this kind of thing really happened, it would definitely be even more embarrassing than surrendering now!

So he caved.

Snape couldn't be happier.

The image of Sirius being deflated will remain in his mind for at least a year, providing him with constant pleasure.

During this period, Snape might even wake up secretly laughing in the middle of the night.

Link was also very happy because he found that the Black house elf Kreacher had never left, but was waiting for him silently at the door.

"Dear guest, I have confirmed with the hostess and she asked me to entertain you well."

Kreacher said flatteringly, his demeanor at the moment was completely different from when he faced Sirius and others.

Link smiled and nodded:

"In that case, please take us to visit the Black family's genealogy. I heard that the Black family and the Foley family are related, and I am very curious about it."

"Okay! Go right now! Go right now! Please come with me..."

Kreacher said excitedly and began to help Link lead the way.

He was really happy. You must know that after more than ten years of inactivity and the recent "spring cleaning" by Sirius and his team, Grimmauld 12 actually has nothing to show the glory of the Black family. He The only thing that can be obtained now is probably the genealogy that records the glorious history of the Black family.

The smile on Link's face became brighter and he followed Kreacher naturally.

Although Emily and Snape beside him were also curious as to why Link wanted to look at the Raushi family tree, they didn't say much.

As for Sirius.

Naturally, he didn't agree with Link running around in his house, especially looking at the family tree that he regarded as a shame.

It's a pity that he is being restricted by Moody at this time and can't do anything.

Link and his party went upstairs under the leadership of Kreacher, and soon arrived at a small hidden room.

This room looks obviously much cleaner than other rooms, but that's very limited. The mottled walls and cracked floors all illustrate the lack of maintenance here.

What's even more strange is that a huge tapestry has been hung up and covers an entire wall.

The tapestry looked very old, the color was dull, and it seemed that foxes had chewed it up in several places.However, the gold thread embroidered on it still shone brightly, and they could clearly see a tree-like family tree with branches and branches, which according to the year, could be traced back to the Middle Ages at least.

There are also several large characters embroidered with gold thread on the top of the tapestry:

"The most ancient and noble Black family

Forever pure! "

Kreacher recited these lines in an intoxicated tone as if he was dreaming. Look at how excited he was, trembling all over and almost fainting, as if just standing under this tapestry was his greatest honor. General.

Looking at the tapestry family tree in front of her, Emily's eyes lit up slightly.

She also received a pure-blood elite education at Victoria Manor, and she was very familiar with the so-called ancient aristocracy. However, the Victoria family was an upstart American aristocrat with no background at all, so at first glance, she saw the exaggerated genealogy of the Black family. A little bit excited.

Link was also a little excited.

However, unlike Emily who kept focusing on the origin of Black, all his attention was placed on the very end of the main trunk of the Black family tree.

There were two branches erected there, one was a portrait of a handsome young man, and the other was a burnt hole that looked like it had been burnt by a cigarette butt.

His eyes glanced at the name under the portrait of the handsome young man, and Link nodded with satisfaction.

The reason why he came to see the Black family portrait was to find this person.

As for the so-called kinship, it is just an excuse.

Pure-blood wizards have been marrying each other for hundreds of years to ensure the purity of their bloodline. This has led to the fact that almost all the pure-blood nobles in the entire country and even Europe can be regarded as relatives.

Of course, this kind of kinship is just a courtesy on the surface. In fact, everyone doesn't care at all. After all, the chaos in the relationship is not clear at all.

"It's strange," Emily frowned after studying it for a while, "Sirius Black is not on it. Are you sure this is the complete genealogy of the Black family?"

Kreacher, who was immersed in fantasy, was awakened, and he burst into laughter. Just as he was about to say something, Sirius's gloomy voice sounded from behind everyone.

"I was up there too."

He was escorted into the room by Moody, pointed to the scorched hole in one of the two branches, and said, "After I escaped from home, my dear old mother destroyed me."

He looked down at Kreacher and sneered: "Kreacher likes to whisper this story very much."

Kreacher, who was stared at by Sirius, bowed his head obediently, but still muttered words such as 'prodigal son'.

Link glanced at Sirius, saw Emily's curious face and explained:

"Looking at the inscription on this family tree, you can tell that the Black family has always been a supporter of the theory of pure blood supremacy. Sirius Black is a strange child of the Black family. He has a brain problem and does not agree with the family tradition at all. One thing is that when I first entered the Hogwarts branch, I was not in Slytherin, but in Gryffindor. Together with Harry Potter's father and Lupin, they formed an illegal middle school organization called the Marauders. He specializes in making trouble and bullying his classmates, so he has a lot of trouble with his family.

If that's all, then forget it.Unfortunately, Voldemort later appeared, which led to further conflicts between Sirius Black and the Black family.Therefore, when he was 16 years old, he betrayed the Black family and joined the Potter family, which is why he was officially removed from the Black family. "

"Yes! Yes! That's it! This prodigal son is a complete disgrace to the Black family! He doesn't deserve to continue to have the name Black, nor does he deserve to inherit this house!"

Kreacher clapped excitedly and said.

Upon hearing this, Emily covered her mouth in surprise, and her eyes towards Sirius became contemptuous and contemptuous.

In her opinion, the other party's behavior was simply treason!

"I didn't betray the Black family!"

Sirius was almost going crazy. He jumped on his feet and shouted angrily, "You have no idea what happened at that time! At that time, they were all crazy! They were going to support Voldemort! This is wrong! I don't care at all. What’s your last name Black, I…”

"You think the Black family is seeking death by supporting Voldemort."

Link's sudden statement made Sirius stunned for a moment. He seemed not to have expected Link to say that, but he had to admit that Link summed it up well, and he did think so.

From this perspective, Link seems to understand his motivation for doing what he did in the first place.

This made his dislike of Link lessen a little.

It's a pity that Link's next words brought him back to the brink of collapse.
