Wiltshire, in the luxurious living room of Malfoy Manor.
Despite the warning from the house elf Dobby, the Malfoys were still a step too late. When they arrived at Draco's bedroom, the boy had already disappeared, and there was no sign of struggle or disorder in the room.
In the Malfoy family's mansion, it only means one situation.
Their little gentleman who was well-educated, obedient and modest, with a pure Slytherin style, actually ran away from home?!
Just when Lucius was still furious in the living room and thinking about anyone he knew in the Ministry of Magic who could help, he suddenly saw Dobby the house elf walking over cautiously holding a letter.
"Master, this is a letter from the young master." Dobby timidly said, "It comes from... the Black family."
Black family?
Lucius Malfoy frowned and quickly took it and opened it:
"Dear father, from now until the start of school, I will temporarily stay with Uncle Black and Harry in the old Black house. I am already a wizard and can tell who I should be with.
Be friends.”
"In short, I hope you can respect me and my friends and stop arbitrarily arranging my social circle in school."
"Goodbye father, and my cowardice - Draco Malfoy."
Uncle Black? Sirius Black? That top wizard under Dumbledore?!
Lucius Malfoy crumpled the letter in his hand into a ball and threw it on the table hatefully. He turned his head to look at his wife Narcissa Malfoy sitting next to him, took a deep breath, and his lips were filled with anger.
The ground trembled.
"Don't worry, our good son has been found, and he's in your old house!"
"Hmm? The old house of the Black family? Let's go there now..."
Narcissa Malfoy's eyes lit up, she stood up and was about to go to the Black family's old house according to the address in her memory. In the middle of her words, she suddenly stopped where she was. The address that was so familiar seemed to be obscured.
There was a layer of fog.
Wait! Where is the old house of the Black family...?
"Narcissa, you noticed it too, right?"
Lucius Malfoy's expression became even more ugly, and he tapped the table hard with his cane.
"That little Black guy, I don't know what kind of magic he used to hide the Black family's address again!"
…………
Meanwhile, 12 Grimmauld Place.
"Okay, remember your promise, Sirius."
Dumbledore slowly put away the wand in his hand and looked at the man standing in front of him sternly.
"From now on, these two children will be entrusted to your care. Under the protection of the Loyalty Charm, they are absolutely safe as long as they are inside No. 12 Grimmauld Place - but if you want to go out, you must
Tell me in advance."
When Black arrived at his old mansion with Harry and Draco, Dumbledore was already waiting at the door.
To Sirius Black's surprise, after briefly asking about the children's wishes, Dumbledore did not express any dissatisfaction with his decision. Instead, he offered to help the Black family's old mansion improve its magical protection.
At this point, the old wizard's reason was even more impeccable - to ensure Harry's safety.
After all, after leaving the Dursley family, as long as the Death Eaters or Voldemort wandering in the wizarding world get the news, they will most likely choose to take advantage of the situation and harm Harry Potter, who has no blood magic protection.
"Don't worry, Professor Dumbledore, no one can harm these two children unless I die!"
Sirius Black glanced at the two boys standing in the corridor of the room and replied firmly.
Ten years ago, he failed to protect James and Lily. So ten years later, even if he risked his own life, no one could hurt little Potter again. This is not only the responsibility of a godfather, but also for
He also redeemed himself.
"This is not a very reassuring promise, Blake. What I want to say is that if some dangerous situations arise later, I hope you can pass on the information in time and seek help this time..."
Dumbledore's blue eyes stared at Black's face, with a faint sense of oppression that he had never felt before.
"In addition to Kreacher, Hogwarts will send an elf to the Black family to help you clean up this old house that has been idle for nearly ten years... Of course, he will leave after cleaning up."
"Professor Dumbledore, I will not let you down this time. Thank you."
Facing the somewhat unfamiliar Dumbledore, Sirius Black had an extremely rare look of solemnity on his face.
In his opinion, the reason why Dumbledore gave so many warnings was probably because the incident ten years ago when they changed the secret keeper on their own initiative really brought too many variables to the Order of the Phoenix and Dumbledore's plans -
-If it weren't for the curse Lily cast before her death, Voldemort almost succeeded in destroying half of the Order of the Phoenix.
After looking at Sirius Black carefully, Dumbledore nodded slightly.
"Okay, then I'll leave these two children to you. You can quickly go into the house and help them clean up and arrange things. If you have any questions, just send me an owl, or ask Phineas to send me a message——
I spend most of my time in the office, and in case of emergency, this is the fastest way to give an early warning."
Among the ancient Black family, there was a Hogwarts headmaster, Phineas Nigellus Black.
Although as the first Slytherin-born principal in history, Phineas is known as the most unpopular principal in the history of Hogwarts, but we have to admit that he also gave Harry and Dumbledore a role in the original work.
Lido and others provided a lot of help.
As for Sirius Black, as the last member of the Black family, even if Phineas doesn't like his rebellious descendant that much, at least he will not completely ignore his request - in fact, he is the most worrying person in the world right now.
The "person" for Sirius Black may be the old wizard who always lives in the portrait.
"As for Malfoy..."
Dumbledore paused for a few seconds, his eyes flickered, and he whispered thoughtfully.
"Promise me not to take the initiative to find trouble, and try not to collide with Lucius or Narcissa. Take good care of your godson and your nephew, and leave the rest to me - OK, go in
Well, it’s time for me to leave.”
Dumbledore took out a silver pocket watch, took a look at it, and nodded again.
There was only a swish of the cloak, and he had disappeared without a trace.

Meanwhile, on the shores of Loch Lomond.
Beside the hedge of the orphanage located at the end of the town of Lars, the figure of "Dumbledore" gradually emerged.
"Okay, everything has been settled, and I am the secret keeper."
The old wizard glanced at the girl who was making a bonfire in the open space of the yard and asked with some confusion.
"It's just that I don't understand one thing, Elena. Are these things really necessary? I mean, can't Albus just go to these things? Besides, those two children don't seem to me.
He looks so smart."
"It's different. Although these are indeed Lao Luobo's way of thinking, they are also in line with his logic..."
Elena raised her head, glanced at Grindelwald, who was gradually losing his appearance as Dumbledore, and shook her head slightly.
"But these are limited to Potter and Sirius Black - if you want Draco Malfoy to stay, then you have to push it a little further on the basis of these things.
At this time, if you hesitate for a little while, the Malfoys may take advantage of this time difference to come and question you."
"As for how to explain this aspect, I believe that with your eloquence, there should be no problem."
Elena raised her eyebrows, immediately changed the topic, and raised the fragrant grilled fish in her hand.
"By the way, the grilled fish is just right, come and try it! After I go to Mr. Newt's place tomorrow, you will have to wait for another whole week before you can eat the delicious food I cooked by myself...
