There was silence in the corridor, and the old Mrs. Black in the portrait was obviously completely stunned.She looked at Gerald, Gerald's eyes were calm and confident, Holmes has a natural convincing feeling, no matter how old this Holmes is, the things that come out of his mouth always make you hate but firmly believe .

"No, that's impossible. How could it be a mixed blood? He's obviously a descendant of Slytherin and the leader of a pure blood. He advocates that pure blood hates mixed blood...how could it be a mixed blood..." Old lady Black was obviously a little bit Unable to accept it, she stared at Gerald firmly, "I don't believe it, you're lying, you're just guessing, you're just talking nonsense—"

"Voldemort!" Gerald said the name calmly. Except for Harry, everyone including the old woman Black in the portrait trembled. The old woman Black stopped talking, and she looked at him with anger and fear. Looking at Gerald, Gerald continued, "Voldemort, his original name is Tom Marvolo Riddle, and the letters of his original name are changed to Voldemort. You should be familiar with this name. His mother is May of the Gunter family. Progunter, who eloped with a Muggle named Tom Riddle, gave birth to the half-blooded Dark Lord. But Mae Progunter died after giving birth to Voldemort, so the young Tom Riddle entered the orphanage Dumbledore took him to study at Hogwarts until he was 11 years old. I think you should remember some of the seven years at Hogwarts. After all, when you were in school, Tom Riddle Also studying at Hogwarts. Seven years later, Tom Riddle graduated from Hogwarts and then traveled to study. When he returned to the British wizarding world again, he became Voldemort, created Death Eaters, and He promoted his pure-blood idea, carried out terrorist activities, threatened the personal safety of other wizards, and finally aroused the anger of the people, and was jointly eliminated by the Ministry of Magic and the civil freedom rebels."

Gerald spoke quietly and quickly, as if the man's life was well known and he was merely repeating it.It was such a calm and determined attitude that made Mrs. Black completely believe it from being dubious at the beginning!

So, she was completely quiet, and looked older than before.Her sallow skin had lost a little luster at the moment, and even in an oil portrait, it could be clearly seen that her spirit was more broken than before.

Gerald has studied the principle of the existence of portraits in the wizarding world, and also checked the relevant magic rules. The portraits left by wizards after death are actually similar to Voldemort's soul slices. The difference is that soul slices may be resurrected but portraits are impossible.Now, the soul left behind by the old lady Black in this portrait of the same height has obviously been hit, and the whole person is depressed. Gerald noticed that the saliva around the old lady Black's mouth was in a place she didn't notice. The time slowly flowed down, which made Gerald guess in his heart that the old woman might have signs of hemiplegia in her later years, or that her facial muscles were uncoordinated and unable to control the muscles of closing her mouth well.

After Mrs. Black was settled, Gerald looked at the immobilized Kreacher. He observed Kreacher curiously. Under Kreacher's horrified eyes, Gerald said to Harry: "Okay, Harry, you will Let's break the spell, I think Kreacher won't embarrass me in the next time."

Harry nodded, and with a flick of his wand, Kreacher disappeared the instant he was free.So, in the corridor, only Sirius looked at Gerald in amazement, for his courage to call Voldemort's name and the series of words: "Oh, Merlin, Gerald, you can really say..." and Slytherin will never lose the wind if they quarrel and argue.

"Thank you, it's nothing, I'm not one-thousandth of my brother's." Gerald nodded, Harry next to him looked at the silent old woman Black in the portrait, and suddenly felt sympathetic to her.

In the following time, Sirius began to introduce the entire old house of Black to Harry and Gerald. Gerald noticed that the dining room of the old house of Black was in the basement, the first floor was the porch plus the living room, and the second floor had four rooms—— Blake introduced that his brothers and sisters lived there before. The third floor is the master bedroom, including the master bedroom, auxiliary bedroom, and study.There is no garden, only a small balcony on the second floor.Except for his own room, which was opened for two people to visit, Blake didn't open the door of other rooms, but said with an embarrassed smile: "Time is a bit tight, so I cleaned out the master bedroom and my room, and the other rooms are messy. Yes, it is estimated that we will clean together starting tomorrow.”

Gerald glanced at the time, it was already [-]:[-] in the evening, and the three of them hadn't had dinner yet, obviously they couldn't count on Kreacher, the house elf who was always preparing to pick things up, to clean up the dinner. ...Gerald swore that he had never cleaned the house since he was a child. He could at most tidy up his books and his experimental instruments.

For him to clean the house... Gerald thought it would be easier to go toe-to-toe with Comrade Voldemort.

At this time, Gerald suddenly felt that he had made a mistake in choosing to spend Christmas in Black's old house. He began to think whether it would be better to go back to Baker Street and be tortured by his parents, or to stay here and clean a four-storey house. A messy, dusty and dirty house is better...

"It's nothing, Sirius," Harry said cheerfully, "I think it's great that we can spend Christmas together, and in a few days we can go to Diagon Alley together to buy Christmas necessities, and we can take advantage of it." Wouldn't it be great to spruce up the house this week, change the worn wallpaper, open the windows, and let in more sunlight?"

Sirius is obviously a rough guy. He heard Harry say that his whole face turned green during cleaning the house, but seeing Harry's smiling face, he still laughed, and then he quickly thought about whether to invite Wes Mrs. Lai came over to help clean the room.

Gerald saw Sirius' inner voice at a glance, and then he felt a little more at ease, but he was still prepared to return to Baker Street quickly if the momentum was not right.

"Don't talk about tomorrow, I just want to ask what about our dinner now? Do you want to go out to eat?" Gerald quickly ordered a few good restaurants around him in his mind, and lined up.

"Let me do it," Harry said virtuously, "make it simple, I think I have been on the train all day today, and everyone is very tired, so just order some sandwiches or something, the most important thing is to wash up Go to bed and rest."

Someone made dinner, and Gerald and Sirius naturally had no objections. They happily went to take a shower, while Harry came to the kitchen in the basement to start making dinner.

After eating, the three of them fell asleep.

On the second day, when Gerald was carefully observing the entire Black old house up and down in the morning, Harry made a list of Christmas purchases, and Sirius had a long conversation with Mrs. Weasley through the fireplace In the end, Mrs. Weasley finally agreed to bring her non-stop troublemaking sons to help clean up Black's old house.

The following busy time passed quickly, and Gerald did not escape Harry's clutches at all. He was fished by Harry to go shopping, and he helped Harry carry things along the way. For this, he felt that his spirit had been tortured. To the great torment.

By the day before Christmas, Blake’s old house had changed a lot. Gold, red, green and white became the main colors of the old house. The appropriate color matching made the whole old house look brand new. The Christmas strips in the corridor formed on both sides of the roof. The waves hang all the way to the innermost part, and the top of the corridor is decorated in the shape of a galaxy, which is extremely shining.The picture frames on both sides have also been scrubbed clean. The original tattered wallpaper was replaced with a light green wallpaper with a pattern of marigold branches and leaves, which is pleasing to the eye. New curtains of gold filigree.

The old lady Black just snorted twice and didn't say much. Ever since she heard Gerrard's words, she looked at Sirius with complicated eyes, but she finally stopped screaming hysterical abuse. Yes, which made Sirius very grateful.So in the following days, he greeted his mother from time to time, but he couldn't say a few words.

Because Sirius' ideas and ideas are fundamentally contrary to their parents, the old Mrs. Black looked at her eldest son who was handsome and tall and seemed to be very famous, and her mood was even more complicated.

"Harry, the tree is decorated, where is this basket of flowers going?" asked Gerald, who was holding a basket of flowers already inserted.

"Well, put it in the hall, by the way, is the room ready?" Harry asked.

"Except for Mr. Black's room, which Kreacher refused to clean, Mrs. Weasley tidied up all the other rooms very neatly." Gerald replied, and he decided to take the time to visit Little Black's room as he spoke. , there must be something interesting in there.In the past few days, Harry had been dragging him to buy various things in Diagon Alley, so that Gerald had no spare time to do what he wanted to do.

"Sirius, when are Mr. Malfoy and the others coming?" Harry asked Professor Black. At this time, Professor Black was cutting the beef according to Harry's instructions in the kitchen. He looked up at the magic clock hanging above the fireplace and recalled After a while, he said: "There is still half an hour. When they come, we can hand over the kitchen to Narcissa. She has a specialty of grilled fish in honey sauce, which tastes really good."

At this time, the restaurant has more than doubled in size and has been re-arranged. It looks really warm.The huge Christmas tree is straight up to the ceiling, and there is a circle of sofas around the fireplace. It was Harry's new purchase this Christmas. The color is orange and looks very warm, which is very suitable for a snowy Christmas.There is a round carpet under the sofa, which is green and has small flowers in full bloom. It feels like stepping on grass, and it is also newly bought.

Then there was a round table surrounded by the sofa, and the round table was already full of snacks, all of which Gerald ordered from ordinary people's restaurants.Behind the sofa is a long table that Harry newly bought for dinner. The silver utensils on it and the upholstery are all sorted out from Blake's old house, and they are all very good products.On the wall, Harry hung some portraits similar to the windows. Those portraits contained wonderful natural scenery, and some flowers were dotted around, which made the whole room look very comfortable.

Flowers, good food, a great atmosphere, family, friends, Harry thinks this is what Christmas is all about, and that's what he has now.

it's actually very good.Harry thought with a smile, if only Christmas could be like this every year.
