the next day after finishing the breakfast, Alex gave the three sword princess golem and also
reminded Sirius about their visit. Sirius told Alex he will take him there this afternoon and not to think too much about it.
the three went to a golem fight with the sword princess and Alex goes to Remus who is looking out of the window in the mansion, he chatted with Remus about Hogwarts and asked about some secret paths, Remus though silent at first told him some secret passages which includes a secret and mysterious room near the kitchens that has the facility like an elevator to take the user to all floors in Hogwarts, also about a secret route to some store houses of Hogwarts.
Remus also mentioned a secret path which leads to Slytherin's dormetories. Alex eyes lit up as dungeons are near the forbidden forest and he can explore it through this route quickly. Remus also told him about a map which will show everyone in Hogwarts and also it shows the secret passages in Hogwarts.
after the chat with Remus, Alex goes to the garden and saw his mother doing some gardening, he went towards her and helped her for sometime. as time passes to afternoon everybody had lunch and Sirius took Alex and Harry to London for a visit to Black's home.
as they apparated and arrived infront of 12th grimmauld place, Sirius is having an ugly expression, he doesn't visit this place since the establishment of order of pheonix and he knows he is the only heir left in Black family. Alex felt guilty about this but he needs the locket for the true inheritance of Slytherin and also to kill voldemort.
Sirius took them into the house and a voice greeted them," the run away heir returned with 2 half bloods, oh! poor kreacher, he has to watch outrageous things like this, what will the mistress say when she heard this?".
Sirius blood boiled up after hearing the word half blood as it's not much different from mudblood or even worse than that, he roared at kreacher," kreacher, just shut up and get out of my sight now". kreacher replied," poor kreacher who can only accept master's orders and can't do anything but watch as the filthy half-bloods wreak havoc in this noble grounds of house black, oh! mistress forgive this pitiful servant for his incompetence".
Sirius is barely holding his anger as kreacher kept calling the kids half-bloods, Harry has a confused look on his place at the word and Alex looks and calm and doesn't care as know about this house elf. Sirius furiously ordered," shut up , if you say another word , I will present you clothes, you know what that means right?". kreacher didn't say anything and went towards the basement.
Alex expanded his magic to search the horcrux as it will have a dark and eerie aura around it and found it in the room of regulus, he cast an imago spell as his projection and controlling it, he also activated the disillusionment charm on himself, he went to the room of regulus and picked the locket, it is trying to control him. Alex told the system to absorb the fragment of soul and it sounded.
[ a soul shard has been detected.]
[ the host can exchange it for knowledge about Alchemy (purple grade).]
[ does the host want to exchange it?]
Alex said yes and he received the reward, but didn't absorbed the knowledge, since purple grade means an experience in a field for 30 years, his body will scream out from that much knowledge, so he decided to absorb it at home and followed his projection and replaced it.
he stored the locket away in his inventory and followed them like a good boy who doesn't know anything. soon they arrived at the library and a portrait yelled at them," you wretched kid who betrayed their own blood, what are you doing and who are these kids?, filthy mudbloods walking in this noble house , this is a disgrace for the Black family. get out of here now".
Sirius came forward and covered the portrait despite the screams and told them not to think much about the talk. Harry now understood why Sirius is having the expression yesterday. Sirius guide them to the entire house until they arrived at library. Alex missed all this as he placed a projection instead of him.
Alex strolled the library and picked up some books like applications on alchemy, rune arrays and circuit, and information about Avalon and Camelot( king Arthur's court).
Alex wondered if he can also get a chance to visit the lost island of Avalon and others belonging to the round table nights. Alex is interested in the Excalibur since it's said to be
gone missing with the lady of Lake after king Arthur's death.
Alex brought the books with him when returning to the potter manor and Harry has a look of disappointment from visiting black's home. Alex also informed kreacher about the locket and told the elf to keep it a secret , he just did to free kreacher from its own predicament. Sirius on the other hand after watching Harry told him that he will buy him a new broom from the nimbus series as soon as it come out into the market.
