Ancient Warlocks at Hogwarts

The names of books such as "Alchemy Analysis", "Secrets of Potions", and "Records of Exploration Inside the Pyramid" flashed before Andre's eyes. He even saw a book "Advanced Black Magic Revealed", which recorded the soul's secrets. A magic book on how to make weapons. I didn’t expect that the Black family still had this hidden away.

But Andre did not take out the book. Although the black magic in it was indeed attractive, he did not want to leave the impression that he liked to study black magic in front of everyone.

Next, he stopped in front of a book made entirely of metal. This thick magic book was different from other books. The text on the spine was entirely written in ancient magic script. Andre could only roughly understand it. The meaning is about alchemy.

Pulling out the book from the bookshelf, Andre almost had to use both hands to hold it. A strange pattern was etched on the cover, and the pages inside were made of flexible gold foil.

His current level of magic writing is not enough to fully interpret the above content, but it can be seen that this is indeed a very ancient book.

So Andre unceremoniously put it into his space pocket, and then began to look for the next magic book that might interest him.

In the end, Andre took a dozen books from this private library. These books covered many fields of alchemy, potions, and spells. They had one thing in common, that is, they all looked very old, and most of them were It was written in magic script.

Harry and the others also took some relatively normal-looking alchemy tools, but Hermione, her choice was the same as Andre's. Books were what she was most interested in.

"Have you chosen everything? Can you get some more?" Seeing that everyone stopped looking around, Sirius asked, standing at the door.

"That's enough, Sirius." Andre was the first to refuse, and the others were too embarrassed to take anything more.

"Okay, let's get out of here. I have to find someone to clean this house, otherwise we won't be able to live in it in a month." Sirius stopped persuading and took the lead to go upstairs.

When they returned to the foyer, ready to go out.

A hoarse, low voice like a bullfrog suddenly came from the shadows: "It's so shameful. Mudbloods and Muggles were all brought into this house. My poor mistress, if she knew anything underground, these scum would actually step into this house." What will she say to old Kreacher once he enters her home?"

Everyone looked towards the shadow in surprise, and an old house elf slowly walked out.

He was almost naked except for a dirty rag around his waist.

Even in the kitchen of Hogwarts, Andre had never seen an older elf than him. His skin was like a Shar-Pei, hanging weakly around his body. Although his bald head Like other elves, but with a lot of white hair growing out of its two big bat-like ears.

From the hunched back and slow moving pace, it can be seen that this elf is almost near the end of his life.

But his seemingly weak body did not make Sirius forgive him for what he had just said. The last heir of the Black family angrily shouted at the elf: "Kreacher! What the hell are you talking about!?"

"Oh, forgive old Kreacher, his eyesight is not very good. He actually didn't see that Master Sirius is here, even though he is also a prodigal who has been kicked out of the house a long time ago." But the elf didn't seem to be afraid of Sirius at all. What he meant was that his seemingly polite answer was full of sarcasm.

How could Sirius, who had a bad temper to begin with, endure a house elf talking to him like this? He rolled up his sleeves and wanted to go up and teach Kreacher a lesson.

Fortunately, Andre quickly grabbed him. With old Kreacher's current condition, it looked like he might die after just a few punches.

"Hmph!" In the end, Sirius didn't really take action. He snorted coldly and said, "Kreacher, I thought you were dead, but I didn't expect you to be hiding in this house."

"How dare old Kreacher die," the elf said in a whispering tone: "Old Kreacher is the only one in the Black family's ancestral home. If Kreacher dies, who else can help the mistress guard this place? ? Can we still count on that prodigal son who was imprisoned in Azkaban?"

"You!" It has to be said that Kreacher's ability to anger Sirius is almost as good as Snape's.

"Don't be angry, Sirius, this is just a house elf who has lost his mind." Andre had no choice but to act as a peacemaker. After all, he still had to count on the house elf to tell the truth about Regulus. , otherwise this descendant of the Black family would have no choice but to turn into an Inferi forever and remain silent in the cave where Voldemort used to bury the Horcruxes.

"I see his head is very clear! It's just that he doesn't want to show that side to us." Sirius obviously knew his family members very well: "Forget it, let's leave here first and stay here. It's not fun when a house elf gets into a fight."

Everyone agreed with what he said, with the exception of Andre. He also wanted to take this opportunity to get Slytherin's locket. At this time, he happened to meet Kreacher walking out. If he missed it again, That would be a shame.So he said, "Wait, Sirius, I want to ask Kreacher something."

"What's the matter?" Not only did Sirius fail to understand what Andre meant, but even Hermione, who was closest to him, did not understand what problem he had and that he could find a house elf who was already somewhat delirious to solve it.

"It's about your brother, Regulus," Andre said.

"Why are you asking him?" Sirius became more curious and said, "He is a Death Eater, and he is already dead."

"But last time I heard Quirrell say that the Ministry of Magic had no news about Regulus's death, and they even thought he was still on the run." Andre naturally used what happened last time as an excuse. He was better than anyone else. Everyone knew where Regulus died.

"That's just a lie," Sirius knew about it. After he was released from prison, Dumbledore told him the details of the entire incident. "Our family has a genealogy with the information of each member plotted on it. I That stupid brother died about 15 years ago, and I suspect he was killed by Voldemort."

Not many people dare to call the Dark Lord by his first name. Among the people present, except for Mr. Granger, who had no idea about this name, and Harry and Andre, everyone else looked at Sirius in surprise. bold title.

But before they could persuade Sirius to use Mysterious Man instead of that name, old Kreacher suddenly spoke up: "Master Regulus was not killed by the Dark Lord!"
