66 Encounter.

It has been a week since Sirius's death was announced. In this past week, Sirius was resting in Blair's office which was off limits to all of the students. Well except Harry and the Black twins. Harry and the black twins have become quite close to Sirius, especially Harry. He would be with his godfather all the time and Blair didn't find it surprising as the poor kid was desperate for a parent figure in his life. Make no mistake Blair was acting like a father figure to him but Sirius was his godfather who was appointed by his parents.

Anyway, right now Blair and a handsome blonde man were standing at the doorsteps of a grimy looking house. there was no one on the street as it was 10 o'clock at night, both of them can only hear a dog barking in the distance. The street was wet due to the rainfall that stopped half an hour ago. Sirius's mental state has recovered quite a bit, the most surprising thing was that he didn't go insane spending so much time in Azkaban. As for his physical state, it was still recovering.

"This tastes like shit." The blonde-haired man said making a disgusted face looking at the whiskey bottle in his hand. There was Polyjuice in the bottle made by extremely unwilling Snape, Blair was surprised that he didn't add poison to it.

They used the hair of a random Muggle near the Kingscross station for the potion.

"What were you expecting? a butterbeer? and it's a small price to pay for roaming around like a normal person." Blair said calmly.

"sigh...you are right."

Both of them went into a brief silence.

"You could have just come with me to my house," Blair suggested.

"I will, During the holidays when everyone is there. But for now...what the fuck" Sirius opened the door revealing a clean hallway with everything in order. There was not a single hint of dust on the floor or walls. It was as if the house was getting cleaned daily.

"That little bugger is really doing his work properly. Who would have thought that he could keep this house so clean all by himself." Sirius murmured as he entered the house, Blair followed right behind him.

"Who are you" Suddenly they heard a sharp voice from their left side. Both of them subconsciously turned towards the voice just to see a portrait of an old woman looking at them with sharp eyes. After observing Sirius who was under polyjuice potion, she turned towards Blair. Her eyes widen as she saw him.

"YOU.....FILTHY MUDBLOOD, HOW DARE YOUR ENTER MY FATHER'S HOUSE. FILTHY FILTHY MUDBLOOD, KREACHERRRR....KREACHEEERRR..."

'pop'

"Did mistress called Kreacher...?"

An old house-elf apparated in front of them.

"YES KICK THIS TWO MUDBLOODS OUT OF MY FATHER'S HOUSE THIS INSTANT."

"As you wi....." Kreacher was doing a hand motion when.

"No, you will not," Sirius said, raising his voice a little.

The house-elf suddenly stopped in surprise. He was doing his best to perform a hand motion but he couldn't.

"Why can't Kreacher kick this Mudblood out."

"Because I, who is a MUDBLOOD brought this house from Sirius Black. Now I own this house as well as you. Both of us Mudblood can do whatever we want with this house." Sirius said with a smug expression, he probably wanted to piss off his mother even more. Blair knew Sirius's relationship with his mother.

"Impossible...IMPOSSIBLE, I DISSOWNED THAT BLOOD TRAITOR. HE CAN'T SELL This House of the Noble and the Most Ancient Family of Black TO A MUDBLOOD."

"He can do whatever he wants with this house as you didn't disown him, you just burned his name from the family tree. He still inherited all of the Black's property."

"NO, KREACHER GO CALL DELPH..."

"Ok this is getting annoying," Blair casted a silencing charm on the portrait.

"Ohh come on the fun has only started."Sirius said.

"You two can catch up after I am gone."

"You should enjoy your life more Blair, anyway let's have some drinks, I am sure there are be some good Whiskeys in my old man's collection" Sirius said before turning around but suddenly stopped "Oh right.....Kreacher don't take a step out of this house and also don't try to kill Blair."

He then led Blair to the library. The library was similar to the library of the Grindlewald's estate. it was filled with shelves of books with a table placed in the middle. There was a lamp on the table with a phoenix Quill placed on the gold platted quill stand.

"Oh I forgot, he probably kept them in the basement. You sit on the chair I'll be right back."

Sirius left the library whereas Blair began to observe the bookshelves. It was filled with books on dark magic. Blair was familiar with most of the titles. What caught his attention were not the books written by the famous authors but the collection non titled books which had a small section specifically dedicated to them.

'crack'

Suddenly he heard a noise of apparation, which definitely took place inside the house.

'Swish'....

Then he heard a sound which was quite familiar to him. it was the sound of a spell hitting a person. He swiftly took out his Basilisk wand and exited the library.

"Sirius?"

He called out for his friend as he didn't have a wand with him to defend himself. Only silence greeted him.

"Sirius?"

He called out again, and again there no response. He slowly walked through the deserted hallway. The hallway was dark, someone probably turned off the lights. There was dead silence all over the house, He could only hear the noise of the wooden floor as he walked on it. As he came near the stairways he saw a silhouette of a man laying on the floor. He made a wand motion and a large orb of white light shot out of his wand, illuminating the entire Hallway. The laying figure was Sirius stunned in his polyjuice disguise. He crouched down before hovering his wand over him. After a few seconds he gave a sigh of relief and was about to revive him when suddenly the light orb which he just casted a few seconds ago disappeared. He became full-on alert as the spell was meant to last for at least an hour or two. He looked at his surroundings carefully as this was the moment the enemy would attack and it didn't take long to happen.

A series of white spells began to attack him from behind. He instantly turned around and casted a shield charm and began to send his own chain of stunners as the enemy was only attacking him with harmless spells. Blair could only see the lights radiated from the spells and that's all. He couldn't see the caster's face or what gender he or she was. But one thing was certain, the enemy was quite strong. he/she was casting spells so rapidly that any normal wizard would have been downed in few seconds. but unfortunately for the attacker she was not facing a normal wizard.

After their first exchange, Blair instantly casted a Lumos Maxima, again lighting up the entire hallway In front of him was a 30 years old woman with brown eyes and silvery hairs with a light blue shade at the end. She was wearing a dark blue robe and looking at the quality of the cloth they were no way cheap. Right now she was looking at him in calmness, there was no panic or restleness on her face, Just pure calmness.

"Who are you and why did you attack him." Blair gestured towards Sirius.

"I am the one who should be asking the question....What is the infamous Blair Bradley doing in my house." The women calmly.
