Phineas Nigellus Black's Portrait

Vizet found an empty room, took out the bookmark Dumbledore had given him, and briefly summarized what had happened today.

After a while, Dumbledore's handwriting appeared on the bookmark. A locket capable of bewitching people's hearts, with serpentine decoration on it as well. It very likely came from Salazar Slytherin, correct?

Vizet confirmed it. Yes, Headmaster Dumbledore. At the very least, I think it has to be connected to Headmaster Salazar Slytherin.

New handwriting surfaced on the bookmark. Your current location is Grimmauld Place, correct? Please go to the bedroom at the corner of the third floor...

"I have no time to joke around with you..." Phineas Nigellus Black's tone began to turn impatient. "This Dumbledore really does know how to waste my time!"

Vizet quickly stepped forward and smiled at
