Chapter 357: 12 Grimmauld Place

After finishing the guidance, Ryan and Hermione went home with raspberry jam ice cream. The next morning two people threw their luggage into a space bag and left home to go to Sirius ’ancestral home.
Grimmauld Place is in a decaying neighbourhood in London. Not many people have come here. For safety's sake, Ryan and Hermione got off the bus one stop away from Grimory Square. In the past, two people used the faceless person's ability to make up two ordinary middle school students in Eastern Europe.
Thanks to the rich variety of cosmetics in the modern world, they have unprecedented convenience in cosmetic surgery, such as various liquid foundations, colored contact lenses, etc., plus some strange magic potions similar to hair dye potions. With the help of these things, no one can recognize that this boy with brown hair, green eyes and a Caucasian face is Ryan.
"Your dress is a bit of a personality." Hermione with blonde hair walked along the sidewalk and said, "Where did you learn that quick hair dye?"
"In a previous book." Ryan said, "It was originally a failed potion, because it can only last for half an hour. But I think it can be used to disguise disguise quickly, and after trying it, I found that it is better than faceless. The medicines used by the people are more convenient. Well, it should be here when they arrive. "
"This place looks pretty shabby." Hermione said after looking around.
Her assessment is accurate. The houses around the square are all tattered, some of the windows are broken, and the light is shining under the sun. Many doors are peeling paint, and there are several front door steps. Full of garbage. A pungent smell of rotting garbage emanated from the swollen garbage pockets in the run-down gate.
The two began to recall the content of Dumbledore ’s note. Just thinking of 12 Grimmauld Place, there was a tattered door popping out of nowhere, followed by the dirty walls and the spooky ones. The windows also appeared, and it looked as if an extra house had suddenly swelled, squeezing everything on both sides. The last old-looking house appeared there.
"Who?" When they walked up the broken stone steps, grabbed the silver door knocker in the shape of a large snake, and knocked on the old door with black paint on the door that had peeled off and covered with scratches on the left and right. There was a vigilant voice inside. Ryan heard Sirius' voice.
"Ryan Liang and Hermione Granger." Ryan said at the door.
"Ryan, tell me where you first met me?" Sirius asked cautiously, as if the headquarters of the Phoenix had entered a state of war.
"In Hogwarts' common room." Lane replied. "I just knocked you out when I was fighting."
"Correct, but you really don't have to say that in such detail." Sirius opened the door and appeared in front of two strange faces wearing ordinary middle school uniforms.
"Relax, it's really us." Ryan said, taking off the blue contact lens in his eyes.
"Come in!" Sirius gave way to a neutral gear. "It's good to be cautious. No wonder Moody praises you as an Auror. By the way, you two follow me, don't touch anything." Sirius led the way.
As soon as he entered the dark hall, Ryan smelled a moist, gray smell, and a sweet rot. As Sirius walks into the house, the smell is heavier, giving the impression that this place is like an abandoned empty house.
The entire entrance hall is very long and is a standard Victorian residential style. The past glory of this house can be seen faintly from the peeling wall paper and the polished carpet. A cobweb-shaped chandelier overhead shimmered, and some portraits blackened by the ages hung diagonally on the wall. Ryan heard a small animal running hurriedly behind the skirting board. The chandelier and the candelabra on a wobbly table next to it were made into the shape of a snake.
"If you come early, the Weasleys may arrive in the afternoon." Sirius introduced when he walked into the room with two people. "Because our family is Slytherin except me, this house is so full of pure-blood style things. I don't like it very much. If Dumbledore needed a safe place, I would never return. Here it is. "
"Right, is there anything we need to do?" Ryan asked looking at the rundown house. It looks very bad here, and I can't even find a clean floor.
"You just arrived, I think you may need to take a rest first." Sirius said a little embarrassedly, after all, this is his house, and it was a shame to expose it to the guests in such a mess.
"It's okay, we are all well rested and ready to work." Hermione said in a vibrant tone, "Okay, tell us what we need to do."
"Well, this--" "Sirius, let the children clean the kitchen and guest room first. Slowly everyone will live in, you have to make them able to cook and sleep." At this time, a hair began to be gray. Middle-aged man walked downstairs.
"Professor Lupin." Ryan and Hermione immediately recognized who this person was and greeted him.
"I'm sorry to let you work as soon as you come, but this is no way." Lu Ping said mildly. "No one has lived here for ten years. Since Sirius's mother died, there has been no one left. There is only one mad and elder house elf in this house. ~ Www.EbookFREE.me ~ We now have at least Pack the house to the level where it can live. Of course, I will take you to pack the house. You do n’t have to worry about hurting you when facing unknown things. "
"Okay, but you just said that there are house elves--" Ryan asked, because the house elves he had seen before would clean up the places they served, and their magic was enough to make them even old. Big can still do most of the housework.
"Don't mention it." Sirius looked disgusted. "Krische will surprise you if he wants to do what he can. But he has been mad by my mother's and mother's portraits, and now he will not touch it except for madly cursing me and doing some weird things. Any household chores. All the housework in the past two days was mainly done by Lu Ping. "
Lane felt that fortunately, Lu Ping lived in. As a real single dog, Lu Ping had strong self-care ability and top-level housework abilities, which allowed Sirius to survive normally these days.
"Okay, our first step is to clean up the kitchen. The first two days I packed up a small piece of empty space for cooking, but that was not enough. Today everyone will come here one after another, we must clean up the whole as soon as possible The kitchen can only meet the guests who will come. "Lu Ping went downstairs and began to arrange tasks directly. As a top student and senior in school, his organizational ability is much stronger than that of the famous troublemaker Sirius.
"No problem." Ryan and Hermione first took the luggage out of the space bag and put it in the living room, then followed Lupin to the kitchen.
