HP: White Lord of Slytherin

Number 12 Grimmauld Place

Returning to the home he once escaped from, Sirius couldn't help but sigh.

As soon as the door opened, Ron's exclamations never stopped.

“Here too…”

It’s so luxurious!

The decoration was even more luxurious than the house he had temporarily stayed in in London. Gold could be seen everywhere, and various gems were inlaid in various places.

His hand brushed across the curtains, and the gemstones on the tail jingled.

"Don't open that curtain." Gloria pointed to a curtain. "The portrait of Mrs. Black is there. She will curse you if she sees you."

"That's a mad woman, crazier than Bellatrix," Sirius said. "I opened it once when Leah wasn't around. You don't want to hear the abuse."

Harry and the others listened to the advice and tried to stay away from the curtain.

Gloria was too lazy to say anything. She knew Sirius would not obey her. However, he was the one being scolded and it had nothing to do with her.

"The three meals here will be prepared by the elves. Don't go out. If you need anything, ask the elves to buy it for you, or ask Sirius to bring it to you."

Draco came to this old house for the first time and followed her upstairs silently.

Arriving on the second floor, they saw a gorgeous and exquisite living room with clean and bright floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the house and the street.

"The second floor is full of guest rooms. You can stay here. It's nice to sit by the fireplace at night and enjoy the scenery outside." Gloria opened one of the rooms, which was beautifully decorated.

She continued, "Harry and Ron will stay in the second room. I have moved many of the portraits to the rooms on the fifth floor. They will not affect your rest."

"Thank you!" Hermione put down her luggage. The place was so beautiful, especially the living room. She was impressed at first glance.

Sirius leaned against the door and asked, "Fifth floor, the room where my dear parents once lived?"

"Yes." Gloria nodded, "Of course your and my father's room must remain the same."

"Can we have a tour?" Harry asked curiously about his godfather's room.

"Of course." Gloria took Draco's hand and continued upstairs.

"The layout here has also changed." Sirius looked around, "It's even more spacious than the last time I came here."

"That's right." Gloria said, "I bought the house and land next to this house and expanded it on the original basis."

"No wonder the entrance hallway has been significantly widened." Sirius had sensed something was wrong a long time ago, "and the second floor used to have two rooms, but now it has four."

Soon they reached the fifth floor. Gloria opened the room that once belonged to Sirius. "This is where he lives. Except for the ornaments, everything else has been renovated. If you really like, you can live here."

Sirius trotted a few steps and flew his whole body to the large carved bed. "I haven't slept in this bed for a long time!"

"This is your home too. You're welcome to come back anytime." Gloria said and took Draco to her father's room.

In contrast to the rebellious gold and red of the eldest son Sirius, Regulus' room is filled with Slytherin's silver and green.

"A typical Slytherin student." Draco smiled and said, "My mother has mentioned this house to me. When she comes to visit, she often stays in the rooms on the second floor because she likes the living room very much."

Gloria hugged him and said, "In the future we will have a child who will inherit the Black surname and will also inherit this house."

She had already thought about it and she would definitely have more than one child in the future.

Draco just buried his face deep in her neck, "It's up to you."

After the tour, the group put away their luggage.

The elf handed over several envelopes.

"Hogwarts has finally sent out the book list!" Ron couldn't wait to open the envelope and see which books he should buy for the seventh grade.

"We will purchase the new books and send them to you." Sirius said, "Soon after the Ministry of Magic survived the attack, it was decided that Hogwarts would open normally."

"But Dumbledore is gone. Is there anyone willing to apply to be a teacher?"

Harry remembered that the school was missing two teachers, a Muggle Studies professor and a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

Sirius spread his hands and said, "Professor McGonagall has already issued a recruitment notice. I believe there are people willing to go. If not, the Ministry of Magic will send someone to teach temporarily."

In short, he is not suitable to be a teacher, and the Order of the Phoenix needs him.

In this crisis situation, the Ministry of Magic needs students taught at Hogwarts to fill vacant positions at any time.

For example, this year, many students who have just graduated have entered various positions in the Ministry of Magic.

After arranging everyone, Gloria and Draco returned to the manor together.

Draco went to find Adonis first, and Gloria came to Dumbledore's room.

"I'm finally back. Did you have a good rest at the Burrow?" Dumbledore was reading the Daily Prophet that the elf bought from outside.

"Not bad." The decision was sudden, and she could only call the elf privately to inform Dumbledore of the news. "The Ministry of Magic resisted the attack, Scrimgeour and Bones were sent to St. Mungo's, and now a new minister must be elected."

Originally, the strongest candidate after Scrimgeour was Amelia Bones, but she was also in the Ministry of Magic that night, discussing something with Scrimgeour, and was also controlled by the spy.

"Has any of your followers become one of the candidates?" Dumbledore asked as if out of pure curiosity.

"Is this important? Whether you are loyal to the Ministry of Magic or follow the Slytherin family, you are all part of the group fighting against Voldemort."

Her follower is not only one of the candidates, but also the one with the greatest possibility of taking the position - Hayden Strong.

The Department of Magical Law Enforcement is currently under his temporary management.

The person who will take over the position of director is Conrad Ogden.

As for the Assistant Minister, Percy Weasley was to be sent to the Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes, and he would be replaced by his follower Olivier Leroy.

They had all made arrangements.

"Indeed..." Dumbledore knew roughly who would control the Ministry of Magic. "I saw a job opening for Hogwarts in the newspaper. It seems you have to prepare for the start of school."

Gloria said, "Yes, but it's hard to recruit teachers, especially for Defense Against the Dark Arts."

As Harry said, without Dumbledore at the school, many people were concerned about the safety of Hogwarts.

But it doesn't matter, they will change their minds soon - once the new minister takes office.

"I'm surprised that Horace is still willing to teach at Hogwarts?" Dumbledore didn't see the recruitment for a Potions teacher.

"I specifically talked to him about this." Gloria said, "Hogwarts, with me here, will be no less safe than when you were alive."

Especially with the great turmoil in the Ministry of Magic yesterday and the recent activity of the Death Eaters, Slughorn has not refused this job.

"Then I will rest in peace." Dumbledore put the newspaper aside, "I hope everything goes well for you in the new school year."

Gloria looked at Dumbledore's white hair, and saw a faint hint of brown-red at the roots of his hair. The wrinkles on his face were also a little less.

It looks like it will go smoothly.
