Chapter 374
They were lucky not to encounter any Death Eaters along the way - but they didn't see Harry and his party either.
Liu Quan, who has no impression of this episode except for the mysterious curtain, feels powerless like never before.
She even rummaged through the original plots of the fanfic that the system force-fed in her mind at the beginning, but all she found were fragments of sentences, such as "Harry broke the memory ball", "Lily hurts beat Bellatrix", and—
"Before that, Sirius was plotted by Bellatrix and fell backward into the mysterious veil. Lily couldn't save her, so she had to rush up and fight Bellatrix, hoping to cover Harry's safe departure. Here, and to avenge Sirius."
Liu Quan: ...It's really unfriendly knowledge indoctrination.Not only did he set up a big FLAG for Sirius, but he also didn't reveal any plot details, making it impossible for players to make a move.The original author greatly... No, the system bacteria counts on you!
At this moment, she heard Sirius curse slightly impatiently.
"Damn! Why did Harry come here all of a sudden! Is there something he has to do here?!"
Liu Quan was a little surprised.
"...When you came here, no one...didn't anyone tell you a little bit about what's going on?"
Sirius' back was still cautiously and closely leaning against hers, and the fighting posture of the two of them was enough to seal off all directions in the room, without any dead ends - he scribbled impatiently: "...Ah. Hearing that Harry was in danger, he jumped into the nearest fireplace and rushed over."
Liu Quan felt a little surprised, but also wanted to laugh.
"...So you came here impulsively without listening to someone tell you the situation in detail?" She asked incredulously, and immediately felt that her exclamation was superfluous.
Of course, now that James has passed away, Harry is the most important person in Sirius' mind, without a doubt.What surprised her was that after more than ten years of arduous imprisonment in Azkaban, Sirius still had such an unknown side, who would be impulsive and passionate like a teenager whenever he met someone he cared about ; This discovery made Liu Quan a little emotional and sad, so she simply hooked the corners of her lips in response - although Sirius couldn't see her expression at all.
"In your heart, Harry is indeed the most important person." She couldn't help sighing, and pretended to be casual by the way, reminding him without any trace. "But you also have to calm down—because you people caused a lot of trouble when you were impulsive in the past...don't let others worry."
In her mind, Sirius would have immediately refuted her harsh advice, but in fact, Sirius was unusually silent for a few seconds.
Liu Quan:? ?
"...So, what exactly is Harry here tonight?" He finally spoke again, his voice was a little low, with a serious tone.
Liu Quan hesitated for a moment.
"The man wanted the prophecy ball about him and Harry," she finally told the truth. "He took advantage of the connection between his mind and Harry, created some...false illusions for Harry, tricked Harry into finding the prophecy ball here, and then snatched it..."
Sirius seemed taken aback for a moment.After a while, a strong anger suddenly emanated from his body.
"Such...such a big deal...but people are still trying to hide me in that decaying old house at 12 Grimmauld Place! Voldemort won't stop until Harry is tortured to death! Now he's coming up with something up a new gimmick—”
Liu Quan had to take the risk of raising his voice a little bit to interrupt his anger.
"Siris!...Since you know that tonight's event is very dangerous, don't take it lightly and concentrate on fighting those Death Eaters!" She paused, and finally decided to take the risk to remind him again, "...those people I will not be merciful to let you go and not cast the Three Unforgivable Curses on you just because of blood relationship or kinship!"
Sirius choked suddenly.His steps even paused.This dangerous rhetoric finally caught his attention.He turned around abruptly, staring at her face with burning eyes in the darkness with the help of a little light from the fluorescent spell.
Liu Quan: ...? !
A moment later, Sirius suddenly tilted the corner of his lips and smiled bitterly.
"Ah, those people... yes, I just found out the other day that they still have some kind of right to that damn old house at 12 Grimmauld Place by virtue of their blood connection... "
He took a rare swallow, and for a moment seemed to be hesitant to say what he was about to say.But he, who has always been very active, finally spoke out.
"...If one day I die, there will be no male heirs in the Black family. My younger brother Regulus was killed by Voldemort more than ten years ago..." His voice was low and hoarse , said softly.
"At that time, the old house will be automatically transferred to Bellatrix. ... That crazy woman, a fanatic of Voldemort! I have no doubt that she is good, or that old guy Kreacher... From the moment she got the old house, she would sell all the secrets about that house to Voldemort, including how the Order of the Phoenix operated in that house, what we talked about, what was important Stuff was left in that house..."
Liu Quan gasped in surprise.
"I've made some arrangements... but there's some ancient, high-level magic that's been cast on that house for generations, and I'm not absolutely confident that my arrangements will break all those rules. ..." Sirius continued, but it seemed that the more he spoke, the more difficult it was for him to speak, and his voice even became a little difficult.
Liu Quan didn't remember that there was such a complicated setting in the original work - she had forgotten such small details in an instant while watching the movie - so she opened her eyes wide in surprise, and subconsciously asked: "So ...you want to make arrangements to leave 12 Grimmauld Place for...Harry?!"
His chosen heir must be Harry.no one else.Sirius Black is a bachelor and doesn't seem to be looking for a suitable marriage partner.And judging by the degree to which he loved Harry as his own son, this arrangement made perfect sense.
Sirius hesitated for a moment.
"...Yes." He replied in a low voice.
Liu Quan suggested him kindly: "Then if you have any doubts, you can ask Dumbledore another day to see if he has any better ideas on this—"
"...If the original Beryl survived Voldemort's attack, then she would have the right to represent James and handle the Potter family's property before Harry came of age." Sirius suddenly lost his mind Said such a sentence.
Liu Quan: Meow? !Now tell her what Lili is going to do? !The player immediately entered a state of guilty conscience, and his mental power dropped by 30%. This is not conducive to participating in fierce life-and-death battles...
Liu Quan raised his vigilance calmly.
"...I think so." She replied falsely, her tone becoming a little rusty and polite.
"However, I don't have any research on the inheritance rules of pure-blood wizard families like yours. I'm sorry I can't help you..." She reluctantly added another sentence, so as not to make her abrupt change of attitude look too unnatural .She even made a joke that wasn't very sincere.
"Speaking of which, there are similar regulations in the Muggle world, but there is still a little difference - I remember that according to the Muggle marriage law, Beryl should be able to directly inherit the property left by James... right? "She said a little uncertainly, wondering why the topic of tonight suddenly turned to such an absurd direction——
"So, will you help me, Lily?" Sirius cut her off suddenly.
Liu Quan:? !
"What?" she asked suspiciously.
Sirius suddenly turned his gaze away, looking in another direction in the darkness.
"If something bad like that happens... when my arrangements don't quite get over all those damn old magics and shitty rules, I'd like someone to help me... make sure all my possessions are handed over to Harry, not Bella's lunatic or some other Death Eater..." he continued stiffly.
Liu Quan was silent for a moment, thinking that this strange situation must not mean what he imagined.
"...So?" She heard the guilty conscience in her voice so clearly that anyone could distinguish it.
Sirius Black's eyes never fell on her.He stiffened his neck and looked away stiffly.
"...so, I want you to be the one... who can help me do that, Lily," he said, stumbling slightly.
Liu Quan couldn't believe his ears.
"...What?!" She muttered in a daze subconsciously.Then, the correct interpretation of the sentence just now jumped into her mind, like a bolt of lightning, almost splitting her head in half.
"I... let me...?!" She couldn't believe it, and asked back with her mouth gaping.
Sirius moved his body slightly, shifting his weight unnaturally to his other leg.
"...It's just, uh... just follow a procedure, and then your name will automatically appear on that old and worn-out tapestry..." He explained bluntly.
Liu Quan immediately thought of the old tapestry with the family tree of the Black family and the names of people on the wall of No. 12 Grimmauld Place, and the family on the tapestry that he showed her once. During the magic, after he waved his wand, the golden line flowed, slowly connecting all the names, passing the big hole where his name should have been written, but was burned by his mother——
What is he talking about now? !Said her name would appear next to that big hole? !
The author has something to say:
February 9:
After careful thinking, I finally came to a conclusion about the future direction of the plot.
Well, so write these first today, and tomorrow there will be about 4400+ chapters.
This month has been busy, and the writing has reached a serious bottleneck period. After counting, this article has been serialized for more than a year at the speed of daily updates. I am a little emotional.
Next month will still be more unwavering in the recovery day.
