Chapter 359: The noble Black family

After the kitchen was cleaned, Lu Ping moved a lot of ingredients into the kitchen to prepare the ingredients and cookware for lunch, and Hermione volunteered to stay and help the kitchen. Ryan led Sirius to clean up a few rooms upstairs for themselves and the Weasleys who came over at night to prepare for their stay.
After cleaning up several rooms, Ryan found that the materials he used to draw the runes had bottomed out. More importantly, at this time he could not open the space door to get things in the grocery store, so the work could only be stopped.
"It's okay, today we have done far more than we expected." Sirius had no sense of frustration as Ryan. He felt that today's workload has far exceeded the planned amount. "Don't be so busy this afternoon, you can take a good rest. I will go to Diagon Alley tomorrow morning and buy all the things you want."
"Ryan, Sirius, it's time for dinner." When Ryan and Sirius were talking in the upper room, they heard Hermione standing on the stairs and beckoning them to dinner.
"Ah, hurry downstairs for dinner. Actually, I bought a lot of dishes and seasonings with Lupin two days ago, but unfortunately the kitchen was not cleared when I set off, and the two of us could only eat the curry paste that didn't taste so good. Served with bread. I think there must be something delicious at noon today. "
Walked into the kitchen, and there were five or six silver plates filled with food on the long table in the kitchen. In addition, there are two gold-plated candlesticks placed on both ends of the table. A few candles on the candlestick bring enough light to the cave-like deep basement.
"Let, let this stew just get hotter." Lu Ping directed a large saucepan with a wand from the end of the table. "Unfortunately, neither Sirius nor I are good at housework magic, so most of the cooking can only be done by hand. I think if someone like Mrs. Weasley who is good at housework magic would do it, it is estimated that this meal will take more than ten minutes. Will be ready. "
After the last stew was served, the four people were seated by the table. Everyone was hungry after a busy morning, so everyone was burying their heads in the first few minutes. No one spoke, only the sound of collision between plates and cutlery as everyone sat down to eat, and the friction of chairs.
After eating a whole piece of roast lamb on the plate, Sirius raised his head and said, "A week has passed since I moved here, and I have finally eaten it seriously. Remus, your craft is really good "It's good." Ryan and Hermione nodded their heads. Although Lupin's craftsmanship and professional chefs still have a little gap, this level is already very high as cooking in daily life. In all fairness, neither Ryan nor Hermione have the same level of cooking skills as their mothers.
"Ah, a person who has lived for a long time will naturally develop his cooking skills." Lu Ping's words are bitter, "but today, thanks to the help of Miss Granger, she has so many This magic can clean the blood and bones in the meat very cleanly, and also soften the meat to make the meat taste better. "
"This was when I saw you improve the death and withering magic for housework in the morning." Hermione sitting next to Ryan listened to Lupin's praise and whispered. "It turned out that the blood draw in the blood magic, the bone pumping curse and the broken tendon curse are really good for processing meat in cooking. And the wand-free cast does not show that I used magic."
After the meal, Lu Ping took over the task of washing the dishes. According to him, "At least I will do the magic of washing the dishes." Sirius looked at the plate on the table that was eaten cleanly. "The two of you have a great appetite, and I thought that the noon meal might be left. Looking at you, I realized that I was old and could not eat anything."
"Maybe our constitution is better, we should eat more." Ryan said that since he improved his diet, the amount of food has gradually increased, and now his meal is almost the same as that of an adult strong man. So this time when he came home to avoid worrying his parents, he only ate six full meals, and then took the time to fill up his stomach in other worlds.
Hermione is the same, especially after obtaining certain traits of the dragon, her meal is almost the same as that of the adult male. Fortunately, before returning home, Ryan gave her several nutrients to keep her hungry at home.
"Yes, Sirius. Can you show us this house? I have never seen this old wizard house." Ryan said to Sirius when he left the table.
"This house has nothing but black magic and the rancidity of pure blood supreme--" Having said that, Sirius still brought Ryan and Hermione upstairs to visit the house. According to him, although there is nothing worth mentioning in this house, it is always a good thing for young people to gain insight by looking at it.
There is nothing important on the first floor. Sirius just puts forward the portrait of his mother under the curtain at the entrance. Once you are disturbed, you will scream wildly, so it is better to be quiet when passing by.
Then the three of them came to the living room on the second floor. This is a long room with a high ceiling. The tapestry hanging on the olive green wall is still dirty because it has not been cleaned before. Every time someone stepped on the carpet, a small dust rose, and long, yellow-green velvet curtains buzzed as if there were many invisible bees flying inside.
"I think it takes at least three times as much material to clean this house." Listening to the buzzing in the curtains, Ryan said with some ugly face. "Hu Meizi here should be a disaster."
"No problem, when I go to Diagon Alley tomorrow morning, I will buy some special sprays by the way." Sirius replied.
"Sirius, your family has such a long history." Hermione marveled at the tapestry covering the entire wall across the room. The tapestry looks very old and old, the color is already dim, it seems that the foxes have bitten several places. However, the gold thread embroidered on it was still shiny, and they clearly saw a family tree of branches and branches, which can be traced back to the Middle Ages. Several large characters are embroidered on the top of the tapestry: the noble and oldest Black family is always pure.
The reason why Hermione is amazed is that only the nobles with a long history in Europe will record their history. A family tree that dates back to the Middle Ages is very precious in the Muggle world.
"Yeah, it's a pity that we only have black wizards. Occasionally, one or two decent people will be expelled by them. For example-" Speaking of here, Sirius pointed to a small black hole on the tapestry, like being Burnt marks of cigarettes.
"I used to be here, but after I escaped from home, my dear old mother destroyed me-Kreacher likes to whisper this story."
"Are you running away from home?"
"I was about sixteen that year," Sirius said. "I've had enough. Fortunately, Harry's grandparents took me in. I stayed with them when the school was on holiday. After graduation, I was also Uncle Alfad, who was cleared, left me with a considerable amount of gold ~ EbookFREE.me ~ so I could find a place to live. "
Lean looked closely at the family tree, and found that there were many places where the golden thread representing the marriage disappeared inexplicably.
"I always feel that there is a lot missing on this picture." Ryan said, pointing to the places where they disappeared.
"Indeed, the paranoid people in the family are in favor of maintaining the purity of the wizard's lineage. So they hide the marriages that make them feel unqualified. This is also no way, if you just want to make your children pure Married people, your choice is very limited. So in the last resort, we can only marry some families that we may not look at, such as the Weasley family. Molly is a cousin who has a relationship with me. Arthur is probably the great-grandson of my uncle ’s grandfather. But you certainly ca n’t see them here. Here are only some pedigrees that make them feel glorious. For example, the Malfoy family. "
"It seems that pure-blood families have relatives with each other." Hermione said after careful study. "As far as I know, most of the offspring of Muggles will show such and other problems when their close relatives get married. Can the wizards solve this problem?"
"No." Sirius shook his head. "So there are very few people like us. If you look closely, you will find that many family descendants who pursue extreme pure blood have some problems. Unfortunately, they still have to maintain the so-called pure blood. I think even if there was not that year. War, the so-called born and noble Black family may not last long, "Sirius said with a sigh.
