HP: White Lord of Slytherin
Chapter 49: The Raging Portraits
Gloria first came to Slytherin Manor with Kreacher, bringing the portrait.
When Kreacher first arrived here, he was timid and felt that he was out of place in his surroundings. Coco was frightened by the dirty old elf, but he quickly calmed himself down and took him down to clean up. Slytherin Manor could not have such a dirty house-elf!
The first thing I did when I came back was to bring my father's portrait to the room where my mother was.
"Mom!" Gloria shouted happily while holding the portrait, "Dad left behind a portrait!"
Aurora's melancholy demeanor vanished as she looked expectantly at her daughter.
Gloria hung the small picture frame next to Aurora's portrait, and Regulus went in. The two lovers, who had been separated for twelve years, finally saw each other's portraits.
"Rael."
"Laura."
They still look so young, the black-haired boy hugs the blonde girl affectionately.
Even though the portrait is only formed from their memories during their lifetime, their love for each other is still vivid.
Regardless of whether Regulus's portrait understood or not, Gloria still told him her and her mother's true identities. In fact, he found it a little difficult to understand this. After all, in the memory left by the portrait, the Slytherin family had long disappeared in the long river of history.
The portrait is only flexible when it talks about familiar topics.
The portraits of her parents were complete, and Gloria placed the Christmas gifts she had received in the room and introduced them to them one by one.
They were pleased when talking about the Weasley brothers and Hermione.
Holding up the soft green gloves, "This was given to me by Harry Potter, who is also a friend of mine."
"Harry Potter?" Regulus asked doubtfully.
Gloria recalled that he died in December 1979, before Voldemort found the Potters. "Harry is the son of James Potter and Lily Potter. Voldemort found their family and killed the Potters, but Harry survived. The cowardly Voldemort disappeared. From then on, the wizarding world believed that Harry had defeated the Dark Lord and was the savior of the wizarding world."
Regulus was somewhat disappointed. The portrait used its limited memory to understand and said, "Is that so?"
When Harry was mentioned, Sirius came to mind. Gloria pursed her lips and said, "Mr. and Mrs. Potter will die because Sirius betrayed them. Now he is imprisoned in Azkaban."
"Sirius would never betray the Potters. I know him."
Regulus's rebuttal caught Gloria off guard. "But the Ministry of Magic has determined that this is the fact. I found the newspaper at that time. When he was chasing a wizard, he blew up half a street in the Muggle world, resulting in the deaths of twelve people, including the wizard who was blown to pieces."
When she knew her father was from the Black family, she collected information about the family. In that report, she only cared about Sirius' name.
The portrait shook its head firmly, "No, Potter is more like Sirius' family than we are. He is even called the second son of the Potter family. Sirius will not betray. He is a man with a pure sense of justice, so he was assigned to Gryffindor."
Gloria was confused. Why did the trial result turn out like that?
"Okay..." It was the first time I chatted with my father's portrait, and I didn't want to talk about too many unhappy things. "Look, this is a gift from Aunt Narcissa's son, Draco."
Gloria actively showed the pictures in the book, and Regulus smiled gently, "Narcissa was pregnant at the time, and it turned out to be a boy."
·
After coming out of the room, Gloria was much calmer, even excited. She checked the time and found that it was already afternoon and she hadn't even had lunch.
"Coco, I'm hungry."
Coco appeared and excitedly served her the meal. Seeing Gloria eating with big mouthfuls, Coco almost laughed out loud.
"The Kreacher that Miss Gloria brought has been settled. Oh—" She tried to suppress her disgust, "This is the first time Coco has seen this... But Miss Gloria, don't worry, we will take care of everything."
Gloria understood that the elves in her family were different from those outside. The outside world treated the elves cruelly and usually wore tattered clothes. No matter how rich and powerful the family they served was, the elves were treated the same.
"Thank you. Kreacher is an elf that my father values. Remember to be kind to him."
Coco nodded with trepidation, "I will follow Miss Gloria's instructions."
After eating, Gloria wanted to arrange the next business. "Let Kreacher wait. I will go out with him after I finish my business."
"Coco got it." Coco bowed and stepped back.
When she came to the portrait room again, Gloria took out the Slytherin locket without even saying hello.
"Salazar's locket, where did you get it from?"
"Haven't seen it in years, since Angus gave it away."
She shook the locket and stated expressionlessly, "Voldemort made it into a Horcrux, and the remnant of his soul is attached to it."
"What?!"
"That damned - dirty half-blood! How dare he defile the Slytherin family's heirloom!" The man in the portrait swung his hand and smashed the glass in the painting.
The locket was created by Salazar himself. It contains many magical powers and is like a living thing. Wearing it can enhance one's own magical power and affect the opponent's mood.
Not everyone can wear it and use it, only those who are pure-blooded descendants of Slytherin can do so.
"Kill him, Gloria!" screamed Bernice.
Gloria held the locket, "I am only twelve years old. Although Voldemort is a half-blood, he is very powerful. I cannot kill him now."
Bernice paced back and forth in the frame angrily, pointing at the locket and shouting, "Let Golinia eat that remnant soul!"
When her name was called, Golinia crawled out from her robe and protested: "I won't eat it, it stinks."
Back at the manor, the three snakes stretched out for a while outside, only to restore their original form here so as not to alarm anyone.
"The residual soul attached to the artifact can be controlled by Golinia to transfer and then destroy it." A cold voice sounded, and the other portraits shut up and kept quiet.
Gloria looked at the portrait of the person speaking. The man in the portrait had black hair and silver eyes, and a calm and reserved temperament. It was Salazar Slytherin.
"Is it really possible? Will it harm the magic inside?"
Salazar opened his mouth and said, "The residual soul attached to the artifact is easy to transfer. It is not as difficult to deal with as the soul attached to the living creature. Even if the locket is damaged, I will guide you to repair it."
Gloria felt relieved after hearing this. "Okay, I'll take care of it now."
The Salazar in the portrait turned his head away and continued to close his eyes. The other portraits dared to continue speaking only after seeing this.
"Come on little one, restore the locket to purity."
"It's all Angus' fault for giving the locket to the Gaunts, causing the half-bloods to contaminate it!"
The scolded Angus quietly hid behind the curtain of the portrait. With his eccentric personality, he had not expected this result at first. At that time, Gaunt was his friend and he gave the locket away in joy.
While the portraits were blaming Angus, Gloria asked Coco to send a jewel necklace.
All three snakes surrounded her, and Golinia activated her double pupil ability. Since they were residual souls, it didn't take much time to control them.
A dark soul slowly floated out, but began to twist the moment it left the locket. The fear of being unattached made it resist Golinia.
But a remnant soul could not cause much noise. When it floated to the edge of the jewel necklace, it attached itself to it, and instantly the gorgeous gem was covered with a strange shadow.
Looking at the Slytherin locket again, it no longer had the strange feeling it had before. Instead, it had a familiar and intimate feeling, just as the ancestors had said.
The portraits breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that there was no dirt in the locket.
