"Sirius, what the hell is going on?" Harry asked in surprise.
"I don't know either, this place is different from when I came here sixteen years ago!" Sirius looked around and said doubtfully, "In my impression, mountains of gold coins and gold products filled the entire room, and even a foothold there is no place”
Now, in the empty vault, except for all kinds of strange treasures and black magic items that are very evil at first glance, there is no shadow of gold.
"Griph?!"
"We can't reveal the secrets of customers, but it seems that there is nothing to hide." Griphook said gloatingly, "This vault was opened thirteen years ago, according to the owner of the vault at the time, Mrs. Walburga Black We have sent people to transfer all the gold and valuables here to the personal vaults of Mrs. Bellatrix Lestrange and Mrs. Narcissa Malfoy. Because there is too much gold, We've been busy for two days."
Hearing Griphook's description, Ivan could imagine the scene at that time.
The goblins lined up in and out of the Black family's vault, their arms full of gold, and they were transported by trolley to the personal vault above.
"Not surprisingly, after the death of Regulus, my dear old mother redistributed the family property." Sirius said sarcastically, "My two cousins each have a share, one of them Married to a Death Eater, one of the craziest Death Eaters in her own right, my mum is definitely proud of them. Not surprising, I should have guessed she would, she sure doesn't want to keep anything Give me."
Sirius walked up to a skull and lifted it aside.
The ancient cracked skull rolled on the floor, grunting, grunting, and rolling into the dark corner of the room.
Ivan, Harry, and Hermione looked at each other and saw the worry in each other's eyes.
As if noticing that something was wrong with the atmosphere, Sirius immediately raised his head and said, "Okay, don't be downcast, you three, no one cares about the gold, we are here to find the deeds. In my opinion, they should still be there here."
He went to a cabinet and rummaged through it, and Ivan and the others hurried over to help.
Sirius was right, all the dark magic items that looked dangerous and things that clearly had the Black family crest were left here, unmoved.
There is a lot of mess besides no gold.
There are plenty of simply eccentric decorations that belonged to the personal collections of former members of the Black family. There are still many items with magic power, and Ivan even felt a strong magic power reaction from several items. Unfortunately, most of them are black magic items, and it is impossible to take them out and use them.
In front of a spacious, dark red stone table, Ivan saw a simple card.
The card shows that all the items on this table belong to Artus Black. Ivan still remembers the genealogy of the Black family that he saw yesterday. This guy is the great-grandfather of Sirius, a character who probably lived about three or four years ago.
On the stone platform, the most eye-catching thing is a cushion in a glass box, inside which is a glass eyeball that is motionless and bloodstained.
It looked as if it had been picked out alive directly from someone's eyes.
There are various bones placed inside the stone platform, most of which are bones of magical creatures, but there are also many bones that can be seen as human bones just by looking at their shapes.
There can't be a deed on it, and Ivan walked to the side to open another closed cabinet.
Under the thick cover of dust, he saw dozens of large glass bottles filled with unknown liquids of yellow and green liquid.
Ivan narrowed his eyes, moved a little closer, and observed curiously.
The glass bottle closest to him contained a gray snake with a very slender body, about the size of a thicker thread. It is bent at a weird angle, very similar to the pattern of the ash snake in the book.
The Ash Snake is a rare magical creature born of magic.
Ash snakes are created when a mass of fel fire burns uncontrollably for an extended period of time. It was a thin, gray-white snake with glowing red eyes that emerged from the flames and swam into the shadows of the surrounding dwellings.
Where the fire ash snake swims, it will leave a trail of ashes.
Its lifespan is only one hour, during this one hour, it will find a hidden place to lay its eggs, and then its body will be fragmented and turned into dust.
Ash snake eggs are a brilliant red, with a fiery glow.
If the eggs are not found in time, they can set the residence on fire within minutes. These snake eggs have strong magic power. As long as they are frozen with magic, they can be used as materials for powerful potions, or swallowed whole to treat fever.
Because of the high requirements for fire, this kind of snake is actually very difficult to be born.
As for making a fire ash snake as a specimen and preserving it completely, it is even more impossible to do it. Except for the one in the bottle, Ivan has never seen any other similar ones.
Just as he was about to get closer to see what other interesting things were contained in the other bottles, he suddenly heard Hermione's voice.
"Come here, I found the deed!" she shouted.
Hermione took out a lot of yellow paper from a filing cabinet. It was densely covered with words, and it was very difficult to read. It was all grammar from a long time ago. At the back, there is the crest of the Black family and the seal of the Ministry of Magic, certifying that the deed is legally valid.
"This is No. 6 at Spider's End!" Hermione picked up the top deed and looked through it carefully. "I've never heard of this place. Where is Spider's End?"
"On the north side of Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley, there is a large Muggle area in between." Sirius walked over and explained, "It is a very old wizarding area, about five hundred years old, because there are Many dark wizards have gradually been abandoned in recent decades, and this house has no meaning."
Below this deed is the deed of 12 Grimmauld Place. It belonged to the Black family thousands of years ago. In addition to the house, it also includes a large piece of land around it. On the house deed are the emblems left by the predecessor of the Ministry of Magic, the "Presbyterian Church" and the Muggle king at that time.
The fourth deed is for a shop located in Knockturn Lane, and the two deeds each contain a long-term lease agreement.
Among them, No. 21 Knockturn Lane was leased to an old witch for a period of forty years to sell things like poisoned apples and poisoned candles. As for No. 83, it was leased to the Mai Nai family for a period of one hundred years to sell the furs and heads of various magical creatures.
After that, the fifth deed was finally a shop on Diagon Alley, No. 36 Diagon Alley.
"36 Diagon Alley!" Hermione recalled carefully, "it seems to be between the Ella's Owl Shop and Ollivander's Wand Shop, there"
In Ivan's memory, there was indeed a big house that had been idle for a long time.
If nothing else, it should be No. 36 Diagon Alley. Although the location is not the best, but there is a lot of traffic around. Especially when school is about to start every year, many little wizards have to buy wands or buy an owl as a pet.
It would be perfect for a newspaper headquarters. If the space is large enough, the first floor can be fully utilized to sell Weasley joke products and the like.
In the file cabinet, the last deed is a manor in the countryside of the Black family. It covers a very large area, and there seems to be an abandoned castle on it. (.)
