NOVEL NEXT Dragon Roar Master at Hogwarts
Chapter 258: First visit to 2 Grimmauld Place
Not long after returning from the trip, Dudley suddenly received a letter from Dumbledore.
According to Dumbledore's letter, he would come early to take Dudley away a week before the end of the summer vacation, on the grounds of summer camp activities.
Although Dumbledore didn't say it clearly in the letter, Dudley probably guessed that Dumbledore wanted to find his own reasons.
The Order of the Phoenix is ready to take action to save Nymphadora Tonks.
12 Grimmauld Place, London, England.
With the help of Dumbledore, who went to the Dursley's house to pick him up, Dudley came to this very important location in the original work by apparating.
No. 12 Grimmauld Place is a very beautiful villa that was once owned by Muggles, but because early members of the Black family coveted this beautiful house, they used some methods to seize it.
This once again proves that wizards are a group of people with no creative ability, and even finding a good house needs to be snatched from the hands of Muggles.
Not to mention this, since then, No. 12 Grimmauld Place has become the ancestral home of the Black family, passed down from generation to generation, all the way to Sirius Black.
However, Sirius Black did not like this place and moved out on his own when he was 16 years old.Number 12 Grimmauld Place was idle for a long time after Sirius was suspected of murdering Peter Pettigrew and betraying the James Potter family.
Until two years ago, Albus Dumbledore needed to find a safe place as the base of the Order of the Phoenix in order to convene the Order of the Phoenix.Sirius Black dedicated 12 Grimmauld Place as the new base of the Order of the Phoenix while in prison, and imposed the Fidelity Charm, with Albus Dumbledore as the secret keeper.
The Red Loyalty Spell is a hidden protective magic. As long as the secret keeper does not take the initiative to reveal the address, others will never be able to find the location of the place where the spell was cast.
However, now that Dumbledore has personally brought Dudley here, it means that Dudley can enter and leave No. 12 Grimmauld Place at will in the future.
"Welcome to 12 Grimmauld Place, Dudley."
When Dumbledore took Dudley to the spot between 11 and 13 Grimmauld Place, a shabby door suddenly appeared out of thin air between 11 and 13, followed by a dirty door. Walls and eerie windows appeared, too, and it looked as if an extra house had suddenly swelled, pushing out everything on either side.
Apparently, early members of the Black family enchanted the house to hide it from Muggle houses.
Dudley and Dumbledore walked up the tattered stone steps.The black paint on the door was peeling off, and it was covered with scratches left and right.The silver door knocker is in the shape of a coiled snake.There was no keyhole in the door and no mailbox.
Dumbledore drew his wand and knocked on the door.Harry heard many loud clanking sounds of metal and a clattering sound like chains.The door creaked open.
This is a very luxuriously decorated but very shabby house. It seems that no one has taken care of it for a long time. The ceiling of the corridor is covered with spider silk,
When they stepped into the corridor, a row of old gas lamps on the corridor wall automatically turned on, casting a dangling unreal light, illuminating the peeling wallpaper and walls in the long and gloomy hall. Polished frayed carpet.A spiderweb-shaped chandelier overhead shimmered, and portraits blackened by age hung crookedly on the walls.
As Dudley walked through the corridor, he heard what sounded like a loud noise in front of him.
"Bastard! Bitch! Dirty and sinful bastard! Bastard, freak, ugly bastard, get out of here! How dare you defile my ancestor's house—"
Dudley knew that this was Sirius Black's mother, Walburga Black.She is the father of Sirius Black and the cousin of Orion Black. Like many pure-blood families, Sirius' parents are related by marriage.
"To shut up!"
The dark-haired man who was yelling at the portrait and working together with Lupin to pull up the curtain was Sirius Black, whom Dudley had once met in Azkaban.
Sirius Black didn't look much better than when he saw him in Azkaban, with the same unshaven beard, thin body, and gaunt face.
Judging from the information Dudley received from Dumbledore, Sirius Black seemed to be still aggrieved about his failure to stop Voldemort during the Azkaban prison break, and even became an accomplice of Voldemort due to the Imperius Curse. pregnant.
Regarding this, Dudley felt more or less guilty in his heart, but if he thought about it carefully, what he and Harry's father did to Snape back then was undoubtedly worthy of punishment.
While Dudley was thinking, Sirius and Lupine had successfully pulled up the curtains, and Lupine also noticed Dudley's arrival, smiling and nodding in greeting.
When Sirius saw Dudley walking in beside Dumbledore, he frowned slightly at first, then showed an expression of realization for a moment, and then extended his hand in a friendly manner.
"You are Harry's cousin and Lily's nephew Dudley Dursley, right? I have heard your name from many people. I really envy you for being active on the front line fighting Voldemort."
Dudley shook hands with Sirius, and he felt that Sirius's hands were thin and rough.
"Harry...Harry, how is he?"
Sirius hesitated, then whispered to Dudley in a gentle, concerned voice.
"Harry - he's doing okay now. He's made a lot of friends at school and is respected by a lot of people."
It seemed that no one had told Sirius that the Dursleys had abused Harry. In this case, Dudley had the good sense to ignore it.
"Aren't you going to meet Harry in person? After all, you are his godfather, and I have heard that you are an unregistered Animagus. You should be able to meet Harry without the Ministry of Magic knowing about it. Harry’s.”
Sirius pondered for a moment, then his face darkened.
"No, Voldemort already knows that I am an Animagus and has seen my transformed form. I can't go in and out of here freely at the risk of being followed. Besides, we have already discussed that Harry is now It’s not time to join us yet, for safety’s sake it’s best if I don’t see him for the time being.”
Dumbledore sighed and patted Sirius on the shoulder with his broad palm: "Thank you for your hard work, Sirius. I understand that you have endured a lot."
"Come on, Professor Dumbledore, this is not unbearable at all compared to Snape arrogantly showing off in front of me how much information he has gained from his undercover operations."
