Chapter 18 The Dursley Family 1

"We found Sirius' will, he left everything to you..."

Dumbledore stopped, as if waiting for Harry's response, so Harry responded vaguely, "Really..."

"Yes, boy, that means you have another pile of gold in your coffers, and the house in Grimmauld Place is yours."

Knowing that 12 Grimmauld Place was the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix, Harry thought he should be more generous, so he said, "I don't need that house, you keep using it."

That's when Vernon interjected, "He's got an inheritance?"

Dumbledore said, "Yes, Harry's godfather has died, and Harry will inherit something."

"How much?" Vernon's small eyes showed a greedy light, but before he could ask, Petunia stopped him.

Dumbledore ignored this sentence, and said to Harry: "In fact, we have moved out of Grimaud. Although Sirius is willing to give you this house, all ancient family houses have been cast with some protective magic. To ensure that it will not fall into the hands of outsiders, generally it can only be inherited by the oldest male in the family. Although Sirius was expelled from the family, he is the only remaining male in the Black family.

So the house automatically recognized him as the owner, but after Sirius died, the Black family still had Bellatrix Lestrange and Narcissa Malfoy alive.

Although they were married, they were definitely of the blood of the Black family, and the house would most likely recognize the two of them as owners, even if Sirius made a will. "

Harry pretended to be confused on the surface to deal with Dumbledore, but he knew better than him in his heart.

There are not only two bloodlines of the existing Black family, but there is another one, Andromeda Black, the sister of Bella and Narcissa. She is the oldest and most rebellious of the three sisters. She married A Mudblood, expelled from the family.

Moreover, the one who actually inherited the Black family was Emmanuel Black. He was the father of Sirius and Regulus, and the uncle of the three sisters. Although the father of the three sisters was the eldest son, it was said that they were only illegitimate children.

So they have not been favored all the time, so it is impossible for the three sisters to inherit the Black family, even their father has no right to inherit.

Not to mention Sirius' mother, she is a shrewd woman, her property will only be left to her son, and in the event of Regulus' death, she will definitely find a way to guarantee Sirius' inheritance.Yes, she must have been prepared for a long time, and she would never let her niece get a chance to get involved in the family property.

"I've said so much that I must have confused you. To put it simply, after Sirius died, it is likely that a Death Eater will inherit his house. The house in Grimmauld Place is no longer safe, so we gave up. There."

Harry nodded, "I understand."

"There is a very simple way to know who the house belongs to. If someone inherits the house, he will also inherit the house-elf who is attached to the house..."

Dumbledore gave Harry a playful wink, as if it was a brilliant idea, "Well, let's try..."

Dumbledore waved his wand, and a grubby house-elf appeared in the Dursleys' drawing room.

He has a long nose like a pig, two big pointed ears, eyes like light bulbs, and he wears a dirty old pillowcase. His appearance makes the Dursleys tense again, and Petunia screams Then, Vernon scolded angrily, what the hell is this?

Kreacher was equally angry. He clenched his small fist full of pimples and yelled loudly in a bullfrog voice: "No Kreacher! No Kreacher!"

Harry didn't even look at it, the Dark Lord's attitude towards house-elves was always contemptuous.

"There is a very simple test method, which can let us know whether you have inherited the inheritance of Sirius. You can try to order Kreacher to do things. If he must obey your orders, it means that 12 Grimmauld Place and The elves are all yours," Dumbledore suggested.

Harry said blankly, "Kreacher, I'd like a cup of hot tea."

Kreacher stopped shouting, glared at Harry with light bulb eyes, and then disappeared with a snap, followed by a long and slow wait...

When the morning sun shone into the living room, the Dursleys had curled up on the sofa and fell asleep. Dumbledore finally lost his patience, and he waved his wand again and called Kreacher.

Kreacher looked the same as before, except that he was holding a dirty rag in one small hand, and a teacup in the other.

"Where's the tea Harry asked you to take, Kreacher, did you disobey Harry's order?"

Kreacher bowed very deliberately to Dumbledore, his long nose almost touched the carpet, "Kreacher is a loyal and good elf, and will never disobey the master's order, Kreacher just can't find a clean teacup .

So I'm trying to do the cleaning work. The Black family is a noble pure-blood noble. The old masters never allowed Kreacher to make tea with dirty cups. If the greatest white wizard wants to use dirty cups for Harry Potter, Kreacher Do not wipe. "

Then he lowered his voice and said to himself: "That traitor actually gave the house to Harry Potter, the mistress almost fainted after hearing that, that bad boy with no conscience, a disgrace to the family, a traitor of blood..."

Harry said flatly, "Shut up, Kreacher."

Kreacher's mouth seemed to be stuck, he wanted to open his mouth eagerly, but even tore his lips with both hands, until he scratched his face and couldn't open his mouth again.

Dumbledore smiled, "Now it's clear, you did inherit 12 Grimmauld Place, and at the same time became the master of Kreacher, he cannot violate your explicit orders.

But he is very good at taking advantage of the loopholes. If you want to have a cup of tea, you should give him a limited time, otherwise he will find all kinds of excuses to keep you waiting. "
