Chapter 139 Locket
After months of investigation and countless press conferences, the Ministry of Magic finally sentenced Peter Pettigrew to death.
Perhaps it was felt that this matter would damage the authority of the Ministry of Magic to some extent, so on the second day of the sentence, Peter Pettigrew was executed under the witness of a large number of wizards.
Not only did he die, but he died with vigor and vigor.
More than a dozen newspapers, including the Daily Prophet, reported the truth of the incident for half a month.
Under the instruction of the Ministry of Magic, they especially highlighted Black's bravery and forbearance, Peter's despicableness, the Ministry of Magic's persistence in finding the truth for so many years and the spirit of conscientiousness it embodies.
Because of these reports, not only did the sales of various newspapers in the wizarding world soar, Sirius also became the dream lover of countless girls and young women.
Looking at the front page of the newspaper, which is no longer skinny and full of masculine pictures of Sirius, Alice thought: "I found that Blake is still very handsome."
Different from the delicacy of Lockhart before, what Sirius reveals is a kind of rough and handsome, which can be regarded as a clear stream in the current wizarding world.It is said that it is an exaggeration, he can receive hundreds of confession letters a day.
"If you admire him very much," Snape's expression was not very good, "you can take the initiative to pursue him. I have never heard of Black having an affair with any woman."
"He's not my type. I like someone who is reserved and smart," Alice said sincerely. "After a few encounters, I always feel that Sirius' IQ is not good enough."
After all, she looked at Snape expectantly.
It's a pity that Snape didn't respond to Alice's almost straightforward words.
"Tsk, it's too challenging." Alice couldn't help muttering in a low voice.
It's like climbing a mountain of unknown height. Although you have been going up, you can't see the top of the mountain for a long time. It is a great psychological challenge for the climber.
"What did you say?" Snape asked.
"I mean, there have been no scandals for so many years, and girls who want to pursue Sirius face great challenges." Alice replied.
Snape raised his eyebrows: "Is that what you just said?"
Even nonsense should have a degree, the length of the two sentences to the shape of the mouth, there is almost no similarity.
"Otherwise what am I talking about?" Alice asked back, "Didn't you hear it?"
Snape fell silent.
Alice, who won the victory, was very happy, and her brain was wide open: "Do you think Sirius would like men? Like Jarvis and Buster."
"Ahem," Alice said in surprise, causing Snape's eyes to become strange, "Impossible, and he didn't have an affair with any man. How could you have such an idea?"
"That's another unmarriageist." Alice nodded understandingly.
She knows that not everyone needs a partner and wants to get married.For example, Gavin, her senior at Muggle University, wants to spend the rest of her life with science.Including herself, in fact, she doesn't have to be in love.
As for Sirius, maybe, as a pure Gryffindor, he intends to dedicate his life to adventure.In that case, his naive enthusiasm that doesn't match his age makes sense.
"So why do you think that?" Snape demanded.After a moment of hesitation, he replaced "Sirius likes men" with "that thought".
"Probably because Sirius and their brotherhood are so touching?" Alice answered honestly.
She has never been married, has no scandals, spent more than ten years in prison for her brother, and the first thing she thinks of after escaping from all kinds of hardships is to protect her brother's son.The combination of all kinds made her think crookedly.
The more Snape listened, the more complicated his expression became.If he hadn't been convinced that James Potter had a normal disposition, he would have doubted the relationship between Black and Potter just hearing this.
"Actually, I also thought of Lupine," Alice added. "After all, the three of them, except for Potter, the other two are not married or have scandals."
This possibility is even more.Black and Lupine in love, Black and Lupine both in love with Potter, love triangle...
Although Alice didn't continue speaking, Snape had already guessed what she was thinking.
"That's fine," he rubbed his forehead, "You're really reckless if you don't write novels."
"I have written it," Alice answered, "Alice's Adventures, and it has been selling well."
"I mean romance novels."
"It's almost ready. I will try to talk about two more paragraphs to accumulate some experience materials."
"..." Snape glanced out the window, "If you really want to, I can introduce you to one right now."
"What?" Alice followed and looked out the window, but there was no one.
"Spring is here, and there are more robins." Snape motioned Alice to look at the roof. "I believe you must be the most beautiful one."
"boom!"
Just when Alice rolled up her sleeves and was about to make a gesture with Snape, a sack suddenly flew out from the fireplace and fell heavily to the ground.
"What is this!" Looking at the constantly moving sack, Alice turned pale, "What did you buy?"
"First of all, I didn't buy anything, and secondly, even if I did, the address I wrote was mostly Hogwarts," Snape asked Alice, pointing to the Black family crest on the sack, "What did you want from that stupid dog?" ?”
"He said he would use antiques to pay off the debt. I asked him to send a few here." Alice also realized that Blake was too unreliable.
Since she doesn't have much appreciation for antiques, she wanted to ask Blake to choose a few and send them over.Anyway, from what she knew about Blake, he couldn't bear to fool people with fake things.
But is this moving thing a magic item?Is this something that can be mailed casually with a fireplace?
Pulling Alice behind him, Snape opened the sack with a flick of his wand.
"How?" Seeing that Snape hadn't responded for a long time, Alice couldn't help but poke her head.
But when she really saw the scene in the sack, she also lost her speech.
Apart from a few exquisite vases that have a long history at first sight, the most striking thing is the house elf lying on the floor, bound hands and feet, with a rag stuffed in his mouth.
Given that house-elves also use magic, Black must have limited his magic, either by command or by some special means.
[This is enough to pay off the debt (Kreacher is a bit rebellious, I hope you understand) - Sirius Black]
Picking up the note from the ground, Alice kept changing her expression, and finally raised her middle finger to the name on the note.
House-elves are indeed expensive, and generally only owned by very ancient wizarding families.So for Muggle wizards like her, the value of house elves is indeed incalculable, and it is more than enough to pay off debts.
But is it that simple?The attached vase, which seemed to be of great value, and the word "rebellious" on the note were enough to show that this house elf was not simple at all.
After all, if you go to Diagon Alley and ask anyone "the most rebellious wizard", 80.00% of them will answer "Sirius Black".Now Sirius himself described the house elves as a bit rebellious, is that a bit rebellious?
"I've been meaning to say it for a long time," Snape said sarcasticly, "Black is not as stupid as you think."
Alice pursed her lips, and slowly stepped forward with her wand, intending to untie the rope on the elf named "Kreacher".
"Meow~" The fur ball appeared out of nowhere and stood in front of Alice.
"Furball?" Alice didn't step forward, and Snape looked at each other, and the latter left the room knowingly.
Because of furball's extremely high IQ and special predictive ability, Alice always pays special attention to furball's behavior.Is there anything special about being a house-elf this time around?
"Woo--" Seeing that Alice was blocked, Kreacher, who was lying on the ground, struggled harder and looked at the hairball with thorns in his eyes.
Snape soon returned with a cat language translator.
"The locket on the neck." Maybe it was because Kreacher's eyes were too fierce, and the hairball tilted its head and said this before running away.
The moment the translator read out the words "locket", Kreacher on the ground stopped struggling.
Stopping Alice, Snape slowly approached Kreacher.
Instead of anxiously trying to break free, Kreacher began to move backwards.
But no matter how much he moved, he couldn't stop Snape.
"Tell me, what is this locket?" He didn't untie the rope, but just removed the rag from Kreacher's mouth.
"I serve the noble and great Black family," Kreacher screamed piercingly, "a lowly half-blood, and Muggleborn!"
Snape's face darkened immediately: "I don't think you are a house-elf of the Black family anymore."
"The noble Black family you said doesn't have much blood left." Alice was much calmer, "I guess Sirius Black will not get married."
"And the honorable Miss Bella!" Kreacher retorted immediately.
She had never known that a house-elf's voice could be so loud and sharp. Alice covered one ear before retorting: "She can only inherit the inheritance if she comes out of Azkaban and asks the Ministry of Magic to cancel her crime."
"Miss Narcissa!" Kreacher screamed louder.
Alice shrugged: "That is indeed possible, but do you think the Malfoy and Black families merged, is it called Malfoy or Black?"
"Don't say such useless things." Snape answered, and immediately used magic to make the locket float in the air, "Just in case, I'll let Dumbledore take a look."
"That belongs to Master Regulus!" Kreacher cried out as he watched the locket on his neck fly away.
Snape didn't know what to think of, and his expression immediately became serious.
"Who is Regulus?" Alice asked.
