HER POV ~
I got off the taxi and paid the driver in muggle money. I had withdrawn it from an atm. I made sure not to be seen by anyone. I checked my bag for all the items before looking around the borough of Islington. That is where Grimmauld place is. I looked at house no. plates ...No.9, No.10,No.11, No.13 ... I casually walked up to no.11 and concentrated. I hope this works. I forced my mind to recall the handwritten note that I had seen in the book
The headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix may be found at
number twelve, Grimmauld Place, London.
I looked up to find a dark and dreary house slide between No.11 and NO.12
I went to the front door, the front door opened automatically. I went in and felt a cold sensation, it was kind of like when I bonded with the nekomata. Once inside I was greeted with a dark and musty hallway. Heads of creatures that I guess were the black family house-elves were hanged on the walls. I halted in my steps as I heard a scream
"Filth! Scum! By-products of dirt and vileness! Half-breeds, mutants, freaks, begone from this place! How dare you befoul the house of my fathers —"
" Hello Lady Walburga," I said in an overly sweet voice. she stopped screaming and narrowed her eyes at me
" Who are you - you flit-"
" I am the black heir "
"The Black heir ?" that seemed to get her attention
" Yes black heir, Sirius-"
" That Blood traitor, abomination, the shame of my f-"
" LADY WALBURGA !" I said loudly but calmly " these profanities do not suit a lady of the Great and Noble house of Black, and if you can calmly listen to me I will appreciate it "
" What!" she snarled
" The house of Black is on the edge of extinction, Regulus is dead, Bellatrix died in Azkaban, Sirius is in prison and I heard that he will be killed soon. If you do not want the Noble house of Blacks to die you will listen to me"
" Bellatrix is dead"
" Yes " what a lie but she will die soon
" what do you have to do with my family "
" As I said I am the black heir named by Sirius, I do not want the Black family line to die, and don't you find it suspicious that many of the ancient families are almost dead and that too at almost the same time "
" Explain "
" Albus dumbledor or the light lord as you know is responsible for this, He manipulated Sirius and sent him to Azkaban as soon as he was of no use, Albus dumbledor was the reason regulus died. regulus was a spy for dumbledor and he died when the dark lord found this out, Albus dumbledore is the reason why the potter, Longbottom, and many other pureblood families are almost dead "
" Why should I trust you? how do I know that you are telling the truth "
" So you are telling me that you do not know how Sirius was under dumbledore's thumb, you do not know how the potters were under his control, or you do not know the fact that the reason why regulus died is in this house itself and you do not know that Kreacher knows it "
" What reason? Kreacher?! "
" Yes mistress " the old looking elf popped in the hall and bowed deep
" Is what this young man says true "
" I do not know mistress," he said trying to avoid the real question
" Kreacher," I said in a cool voice " Lord regulus ordered you to destroy a necklace before his death, He wanted to hide it from the dark lord. did he not ?"
" I-I-" he chocked and I was almost certain that he wanted to lie to me but he did not know that I was the black heir
" Answer me truthfully Kreacher "
" yes, it is true what this scum says is true. Kind Master regulus ordered Kreacher to destroy the necklace before his death. Master took Kreacher with him to a cave, master said not to let the dark lord have it. Kreacher protect it with life, master dead because of the locket " he said almost in tears
Walburga looked thoughtfully at me before opening her dirty mouth again
" what is it that you want with me "
" Lady Walburga I want you to accept me as an official black family member, I will protect this HOUSE with all I have, I want revenge on dumbledor and I know you want to "
" Fine but one last thing " I raised a brow " who ARE you "
I removed my hoodie and headband, her eyes widened
" HARRY POTTER !"
" yes and I swear on my magic that I stand against Dumbledore"
I pulled out my Phoenix wand and focused on the sensation when the wand chose me. A moment later I felt warmth spread from my chest to my wand arm and I saw red flames come out of the end of my wand
" Well if what you said was true then I Walburga Black proclaim you as an official member of the Black House " I felt the cold sensation again but it was much stronger this time. The ancient magic left my core and I felt exhausted. suddenly the house brightened up a bit, Kreacher too seemed a bit less on death bed.
" Kreacher is the kitchen adequate to sit in "
" I be cleaning it for the filthy imposter heir," He said heading towards the kitchen, I followed him. The kitchen was covered in a cm thick layer of dust.
Kreacher snapped his fingers and the place near the dining table was cleaned to an acceptable level
I sat on a clean chair and looked at Kreacher.
" Kreacher bring me the locket I will be destroying it soon "
" You can ?"
I nodded " Yes, the locket is enchanted with dark and ancient magic hence I will be using goblins to destroy it "
" How come goblin can do it but Kreacher cant," he said looking skeptical
" The Locket is a Horcrux, lord regulus wanted to destroy the soul inside it, he thought that if you destroy the locket the soul will be destroyed too, but an object carrying Horacrux can not be destroyed using normal means "
" Why should Kreacher believe you "
" I swear on my magic that what I told Kreacher about the locket is true "
Again the concentration and red flames. I was left feeling drained
" M-master Harry be swearing on his magic for Kreacher _" he whispered in disbelief
" Yes now if you can bring the locket " he popped out and came back with the locket
I placed the locket in my bag along the key chain. ]
" I will visit Gringotts first the next morning, Kreacher destroying the soul in this locket will not be enough. The initial goal of Regulus was to destroy all of them, Currently, I have two but soon I will find the rest and I want you to help me complete Lord regulus dying wish "
" Mater Harry be kind like master regulus. Kreacher be happy to help Kind master Harry " He said in tears
I could not help but comfort him, was this me or harry subconscious
" Do not worry Kreacher, I will bring justice to Regulus"
" Master harry be kind "
" Yes and would you please clean a room for me I will be staying here a lot and bring me a map of this house if there is one "
" Kreacher be doing that " with that, he popped out, and the map magically appeared on the table.
I looked at the map and the various labeled rooms on it
I spent some time examining its blueprint. the house was large inside and it also had some dungeons. after some time I pulled out a book 'occlumency and legilimency ' and started reading it.
Kreacher appeared back half an hour later
" Kreacher cleaned a room for kind master harry "
" Very good Kreacher," I said checking the time. 3:07 I still had time
He beamed at the praise
" Have a seat " I gestured towards the empty seat in front of me. He seemed shocked at the request
" W - what M-master wants Kreacher to sit with him?" ah that disbelief again, get used to it Kreacher
" Yes and before you ask me why I want your help, this will take some time and I do not want you to faint due to exhaustion, you have just cleaned a room haven't you " he nodded and reluctantly climbed on the seat looking uncomfortable
" Kreacher I want you to point out if a room has an animate portrait or is dangerous to enter " he nodded again
I pulled out a red pen for dangers and a blue pen for portraits
Half an hour later, almost half of the map was covered in blue and red.
" Thank you Kreacher, you did a good job now do you still have strength, " I asked him, he nodded frantically I did not know whether it was in anticipation of another task or in an attempt to get off the chair
" Good " I handed him a couple of bottles of nail polish remover
" Clean lady Walburga's portrait using this, remember I am doing this for the House of Black "
15 minutes of screams later Kreacher returned looking devastated
" Why is kind master harry making Kreacher do this," He said looking torn
" Kreacher." I sighed again " Lady Walburga was not in the right state of mind, We can't have a portrait screaming profanities as our doorbell, what does that say about the House of Black " I looked him dead in the eye
" and that brings us to you, firstly stop cursing anyone you see it is not befitting of the Head elf of the great and noble house of Black, second try to look a bit decent, third I will be acquiring more elves soon and you will be appointed as the head elf and will be responsible for training them but till then Only focus on making this house a bit move livable "
I looked at my watch 3: 56
I pulled a mini tank from my bag and placed it on the table.
"This is a golden poison frog, it is poisonous as its name suggests, I will be leaving it here, do not fear the tank is tightly packed and warded with magic, it won't escape unless you open the tank with your own hands "
*meow* ~ what about me ~
Kreacher screamed as my nekomata appeared out of nowhere hanging in mid-air
" stop screaming this is my familiar " * meow*
" and yes she will be staying here too "
I looked at her and spoke through our link
# Do not harm him or the poison frog #
" feed her this when she is hungry," I said placing a can of tuna flavored cat food
" I will be leaving be I will return next morning "
I picked up my bag and left the house through the front door
I pulled up my hood after wearing my headband again and called the knight bus
" hello there young man where to "
" Private drive surrey," I said climbing on the bus
" I am Stan Shunpike, the conductor of the knight bus "
" Dan, Dan Radcliff '' I shook his hand " pleased to meet you "
" Hold tight young man "
I sat on a seat and gripped it with all my strength
" wwwwoooooooooo..."
