Hogwarts Summoning Guide

Upon arriving at Grimmauld Place, Bai Lin was suddenly dumbfounded. This was just a Muggle residential area. All Bai Lin could think of was the plot of the fifth movie, where Mad-Eye Moody and a group of Order of the Phoenix members brought Harry to Grimmauld Place, knocked twice on a building with their canes, and Black's house appeared out of the middle of the building.

Bai Lin circled the residential area several times but did not see the multi-unit residential building from the movie, let alone the location of Blake's house.

Bai Lin suddenly realized that only those who knew the exact location of the house could see its existence. Knowing only the movie plot was completely useless to him. The house was protected by powerful magic, and even Voldemort couldn't find it.

However, Bai Lin felt there was a plot hole in the original story: Bella, as Sirius's cousin, had no reason not to know the location of this house, and it was clearly unsafe for the Order of the Phoenix to use it as their headquarters. But this wasn't Bai Lin's concern; he was right outside Sirius's house, yet he couldn't contact him, which left him quite frustrated.

Just as the three of them were wandering around aimlessly, Bai Lin heard a dog bark. He turned around and saw a tall, black dog standing by the roadside, glaring at him menacingly.

Five minutes later, Bai Lin finally followed the big black dog to a rather old-fashioned five-story residential building. Strangely enough, Bai Lin, You Qian, and Finis (invisible) had been wandering around for a long time but hadn't seen this building. It must be that the magic protecting this place made people blind to it and automatically ignore it.

The big black dog barked at the building, and the building suddenly moved, shifting from the middle to both sides, creating an extra unit in the middle.

Although the house was quite grand in appearance, it looked dirty and messy from the outside, with filthy windows. A large, scratched, black-painted door stood in the center, with a silver doorknob shaped like a coiled snake. There was no keyhole or mailbox on the door.

The big dog strode forward, leading the three of them through the door. The instant the door closed, the black dog flipped over and transformed into a man wearing a black fur coat, with a full head of black hair, dark gray eyes, and a small mustache—it was Sirius Black.

Bai Lin glanced at the interior decorations, which were almost identical to those in the movie, out of the corner of his eye. It was a complete mess, filled with inhuman designs and bizarre decorations.

As soon as Yuxi entered, she was drawn to the umbrella stand made from a giant monster's foot at the entrance. Looking around at the old, dilapidated wallpaper covered in snake patterns, she felt a chill. This didn't seem like a noble's mansion; it was more like a vampire's estate.

"You're really hard to find!" Bai Lin complained. "I almost turned back."

"I don't usually have many customers here, so I hope you really have something important to say. To be honest, I'm quite busy," Blake said expressionlessly, his face clearly showing that he hadn't been in a good mood the past few days.

"What the hell are you busy with!" Bai Lin cursed in Chinese, then said, "Let's have a cup of coffee, it's a long story."

Seeing that Youxi seemed about to touch the strange-looking trinkets, Bai Lin quickly pulled her back, saying, "You'd better not touch anything. Nothing in their house is normal!"

Blake glanced at Youxi, his eyes conveying a sense of "You've changed girlfriends?" Bai Lin quickly said, "This is my teammate and secretary, her name is Youxi." Then he also introduced Blake to Youxi.

Blake led them through a long and narrow corridor (an inhuman design), and Bai Lin did his best not to touch the portraits on either side. Finally, they arrived at the most normal dining room in the entire house.

Blake swaggered into the main seat, not even bothering to greet Bai Lin, and instead called out towards the stairwell, "Kreacher! Kreacher! Pour three cups of coffee!"

After a long silence in the stairwell, an elderly house-elf emerged from the darkness. He had dark gray skin, a flat nose, and gloomy eyes, muttering something unintelligible.

Bai Lin glanced at the energetic Phineas and thought to himself that it was no wonder Black was in a bad mood living with this crazy guy. But Kreacher was indeed pitiful. He had been tormented by Voldemort for months and had lost his master, Sirius's brother Regulus. It was understandable that he had become like this.

Yuxi finally heard what Kreacher was muttering, which was full of curses against them, the non-pure-blood wizards. She was quite shocked; she had never seen such an impolite house-elf.

"Phineas, go lend a hand..." Bai Lin said, his unspoken message being that he dared not drink the coffee brewed by this old man.

"Getting back to the point, it's about Voldemort," Bai Lin said, sitting down in front of Black. "Did Harry tell you about his dream? I suspect that Voldemort and his Death Eaters have already joined forces and are working on a plan to fully resurrect him."

"I highly doubt your source. How could Voldemort be resurrected? Why haven't we heard any news of him causing trouble?" Black looked at Bai Lin with suspicion in his eyes. Harry must have told him about Bai Lin's strangeness.

"You should ask why we didn't eliminate Voldemort completely before he recovered to his full strength," Bai Lin said.

"Well, since you know he's not fully resurrected, why not eliminate him and become a hero to the whole world?" Blake asked.

"In fact, even if I eliminated Voldemort, I wouldn't become a hero. Just look at Harry's experience... Secondly, eliminating him wouldn't make a difference. I have ample evidence that Voldemort possesses multiple Horcruxes, and as long as one Horcrux remains intact, he will be resurrected."

"Unheard of! Talking nonsense!" Blake shouted, his tone carrying the arrogance typical of the Blake family.

"This is easy to prove, because there is a Horcrux in this house!" Bai Lin said, dropping a bombshell.

Blake suddenly stood up, somewhat annoyed, and said, "You have to take responsibility for what you said!"

"Why are you in such a hurry? Of course I'll show you the evidence. Once I find it, you can show it to Dumbledore, and he'll be able to tell if it's true or not." Bai Lin said, while summoning the red-eyed Niffler.

"This little thing can find items imbued with powerful dark magic. I suspect one of the Horcruxes is in your brother Regulus's room!" Bai Lin said.

"No! You half-breed scum! Thief! Robber! You are not allowed to enter the master's room!" Kreacher, carrying a scalding kettle, jumped directly onto the dining table and pounced on Bai Lin, looking as if he was about to splash the boiling water on Bai Lin's face.

Before Bai Lin could make a move, Phineas pounced from behind and shoved Kreacher off the dining table. The two house-elves wrestled together, and the silver kettle was thrown aside, spilling hot water all over the floor.

"What kind of mess is this?!" Bai Lin was utterly speechless.
