Harry Potter, Ron, Hermione and Axinsha came to the ancestral house at 12 Grimmauld Place, London, England.
This was originally Sirius Black's home, to be precise, it was the ancestral home of the Black family.
The Black family has a tapestry hanging in a room of the ancestral home, depicting the Black family tree.
This family tree begins in the Middle Ages and shows the family up to the present day.
By the end of the 20th century, the male line of the Black family had all died out due to the deaths of Sirius and Regulus Black, leaving no descendants.
But what is even more ironic is that the women of the Black family are still alive.
Among them, Narcissa Black married into the Malfoy family, and Andromeda married the Muggle-born wizard Ted Tonks.
This was a deeply ingrained concept of pure blood.
It is absolutely not allowed in the Black family, so she was directly removed from the family tree.
It is worth mentioning that the relationship between the Potter family and the Black family is not entirely clear.
However, the deceased Sirius was only Harry's godfather.
There was no direct blood relationship, but the relationship between the two people was indeed a true family relationship.
Harry had come to this ancestral home before, actually at this time last year.
According to Sherlock's explanation, Rab was Sirius's younger brother Regulus, and Harry looked at the Black family's family tree again after returning this time. , but naturally remembered the conversation he had with Sirius.
The other party did mention that he had such a brother.
At that time, at this time last year, in this room, Sirius stretched out a finger and pointed at a name at the bottom of the family tree: Regulus Black.
The birth date is followed by a death date, approximately fifteen years ago.
"He is younger than me."
Sirius said at the time.
"I am constantly reminded that his son is much better than me."
"But he's dead," said Harry.
"Yeah," said Sirius.
"Stupid idiot, he joined the Death Eaters."
"Are you kidding me?"
"Listen, Harry, after looking at the state of this house, don't you understand what kind of wizards my family are?"
Sirius said impatiently.
"Are your parents also Death Eaters?"
"No, no, but believe me, they think Voldemort's ideas are correct.
They all agree to maintain the purity of wizard blood, get rid of Muggle-born people, and let pure-blood people take power.
They are not unique.
In Voldemort's case, Before revealing his true face, Many people believed that he was right about some things, but when they found out that he would do anything to gain power, they all got timid and backed down, but I think my parents must have thought that Regulus had joined in the first place.
Among them, he can be regarded as a brave little hero.”
"Was he killed by an Auror?"
Harry asked uncertainly.
"Oh, no."
Sirius said, "No, he was killed by Voldemort, or, more likely, he was killed under Voldemort's instructions.
I suspect that Regulus is not that important and needs to be killed by Voldemort himself."
Him, since his death From what I learned about the situation later, he was already in deep trouble, and then he was afraid of what others asked him to do, so he wanted to quit.
Alas, you can't just submit a resignation letter to Voldemort and be done with it.
You either have to work for the rest of your life, or you can't.
A dead end."
As Harry recalled the conversation with Sirius, he hoped to find some outstanding descriptions of Sirius's younger brother from his memory, such as whether there was a place Regulus liked to go, or some secret places where he liked to hide things.
Place, maybe the Horcrux will be there.
But unfortunately, Sirius seemed reluctant to talk too much about Regulus to Harry at that time.
It seemed that Sirius didn't know his brother very well, just like Sirius never knew what Regulus had done until his death.

Very great thing.
"Harry, look who we found."
Ron and Hermione ran up in a hurry.
Axinsha was very careful even going up the stairs.
After all, this ancestral home is also very historical.
After the demise of the Black family, this place will It will become an antique building.
As a member of the Mephisto tribe, the oldest and largest pure-blood family in the magic world, Asinsha would be very sad every time a pure-blood family in the magic world dies.
"You must make a little noise here," Harry accused Ron, because he didn't like others making noise in the Black family's ancestral home, which seemed disrespectful to the deceased.
But when Harry saw Ron holding the house elf Kreacher in his hand, Harry was overjoyed.
Maybe Harry didn't know where Regulus would put the Horcrux, but Kreacher had served the Black family his whole life.
Che must have some clues.
At the beginning, Harry persuaded him with kind words, and later he directly threatened Kreacher to tell the truth.
The house elf never said a word, but when Harry said the name Regulus, Kreacher burst into tears.
"Listen Kreacher, if you want to go against the requirements of the Mephisto tribe, don't forget that you are just a house elf who has lost your tribe."
Axinsha walked up the stairs and said this to Kreacher. .
Kreacher did not dare to act too presumptuously in front of Assinsha, "Kreacher did not dare, noble Miss Mephisto, little master Regulus once warned me not to tell anyone."
Kreacher was helpless and cried a few times in pain, and then blamed himself for not completing the final task assigned by Regulus.
And Harry and others also learned about that past event from Kreacher's mouth.
During the time when Regulus became a Death Eater.
Voldemort had asked him for a house elf for experiments, and he recommended Kreacher, but told Kreacher to do what Voldemort asked him to do and then go home.
Regulus found clues from Kreacher who was frightened when he returned home, and became suspicious of Voldemort.
In order to protect the Black family, he took Kreacher to the cave where Voldemort kept the Horcruxes after a while, drank poison, and exchanged the Horcruxes for Slytherin's locket.
He handed the Horcrux to Kreacher and ordered Kreacher to destroy the Horcrux and not tell anyone about it to his family.
He was later dragged into the water by the Inferi in order to drink water and died.
His mother was "so sad for this."
Crazy”.
He only left a suicide note in a replica of Slytherin's locket, signed rab In fact, even Voldemort was negligent at times.
He set up very powerful restrictions in the cave where Slytherin's locket was hidden, which made it difficult for some wizards to escape directly from the cave.
At least apparation was absolutely impossible.
It won't work.
But Voldemort ignored the unique magic of house elves.
Their race's magic has special characteristics, and created a loophole in Voldemort's restriction, allowing Kreacher to escape from the cave.
Only then did everything happen next.
Regulus hoped that Kreacher could destroy Voldemort's Horcruxes.
Regulus, unlike other Death Eaters and the Dark Lord, regarded the lives of house elves and Muggles as insignificant.
When he realized that the Dark Lord was trying to kill Kreacher, he changed his mind and realized the cruelty of Voldemort.
He arrived at the Black Lake Cave to destroy the Horcruxes, preferring to drink the poison himself rather than the elf.
He was the first person to discover Horcruxes.
Slytherin's Locket was the first Horcrux discovered.
But how could the Dark Lord's Horcrux be destroyed by a house elf?
No matter Kreacher tried all the methods he thought of, he failed.
This made Kreacher feel frustrated that he could not complete Regulus's will, so he could only hide the locket in the house.
When Harry heard Kreacher say that the Horcruxes were hidden in this house, Harry's heart started to beat faster.
It was undoubtedly exciting to finally find a Horcrux of Voldemort's in such a short period of time.
A thing about the human heart.

"Bring it to me," Harry ordered directly.
After Sirius died, he could directly inherit Kreacher from his godfather.
"But it's not here anymore."
"What's the meaning" "Mundungus Fletcher stole it.
In fact, the thief also stole many things in the house."
Kreacher detailed some of the things Mundungus had stolen, even including a A first-class Merlin badge.
"He's talking about Mundungus, isn't that it?"
Ron couldn't help but interjected.
In fact, they had been in contact with Mundungus two days ago.
Harry should also thank the other party for his willingness to fight in that dangerous environment.
Time to stop by and help yourself transition from Privet Drive.
But after hearing Kreacher's words, Harry felt a sense of disgust and anger toward Mundungus.
How despicable a person must be to steal something from someone else's family's ancestral home.
"So that box is also in Mundungus' hands, are you sure?"
Harry asked Kreacher one last time.
Kreacher nodded affirmatively.
"I have to contact Moody.
Moody will definitely know where Mundungus is.
They are all connected.
When Dumbledore was still alive, Mundungus had provided intelligence to the Order of the Phoenix.
It's all about Death Eaters and Voldemort," Harry said.
Ron said, "It sounds like this Mundungus is quite powerful.
He is able to find out information about Death Eaters and Voldemort, which is extraordinary."
Asinsha doesn't have a good impression of the name Mundungus.
"He's just a profit-seeking villain.
Of course, he can also be regarded as a businessman who dares to do anything, as long as the benefits are enough."
"Kreacher, I'm telling you to do something now.
Find Moody, and then tell him to find Mundungus.
We are still waiting for him at Black's ancestral home.
If you have any questions, you can come over and ask for help.
Interview."
Harry said to Kreacher, and then the older house elf disappeared into thin air.
At this time, the Order of the Phoenix had not lost any troops, even though the soul figure had passed away.
Harry and others stayed at the Black ancestral home for another day until the early morning of the next day, but Kreacher and Moody did not show up either.
This made Harry secretly pray that Moody would not have any other accidents outside.
Hermione, on the other hand, found a way to get the Daily Prophet newspaper from outside.
"You actually ran outside to buy a newspaper."
Ron and Harry were in disbelief.
Hermione dressed herself up as an old lady, and there was a Daily Prophet newspaper vending machine on the corner of this street.
But as Black's ancestral home, this place is likely to be targeted by Death Eaters.
Hermione being out like this was really scary.
"Look at this news, it's definitely sensational."
Hermione was dissatisfied with Ron and Harry's accusations and threw the newspaper directly in their faces.
Hermione returned to her and Assinsha's room, then climbed onto the bed and got into the bed of Assinsha, who had not yet woken up, and fell asleep.
"Sherlock Mephisto hired as Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts.

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has once again become the safest place in the wizarding world."
Ron read the headline of the news item.
After the wizards in the magical world learned that Sherlock had become the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts, they couldn't wait to send all the children who stayed at home to Hogwarts.
After all, there is no safer place in the wizarding world than Hogwarts.
Even after Ron read the newspaper, he even planned to go back to Hogwarts to take classes again.
After all, he should still be in seventh grade now, and it was reasonable to go back to school even now.
Harry patted Ron on the shoulder, "At least Ginny will be safe in the school.
Death Eaters will never dare to break in.
Mr.
Sherlock's attitude towards Death Eaters is much tougher."
Ron said in a weird tone, "I'm not worried about others, I'm thinking about whether to go back to Hogwarts tomorrow for class."
Harry "" At this time, a loud noise interrupted the communication between Harry and Ron.
When the two of them went down the stairs, they saw Moody and Lupine subduing Mundungus and appeared directly in the hall.
"I was just wondering when you would come over, but I didn't expect you, Lupin, to come too."
Harry said ecstatically.
"I was staying at Tonks's parents' house with Lupine when Kreacher found me," Moody said.
And Lupine had other news to tell Harry: "Tonks and I have a baby, and it will be born soon, around Christmas time."
Before Harry could give his blessing, Mundungus was shouting, and Kreacher came out from behind and hit the opponent's knee hard with a frying pan.
"What have I done wrong and you are treating me like this?
I even helped you Harry, you are so ungrateful." cried Mundungus.
Harry's face turned red, indeed Mundungus had helped move Harry away from Privet Drive.
In the original book, it was the cowardly Mundungus who killed Moody, but now that Sherlock has intervened, Harry has not yet developed such a deep opinion about Mundungus
