It was soon the end of March, and Easter was just around the corner.
One morning, while Harley was eating breakfast, Hedwig brought her a letter from Sirius.
In the letter, Sirius told Harley that after a hard struggle, he had managed to clear out the library at Number 12 Grimmauld Place.
If Harley didn't mind, she could come visit Number 12 Grimmauld Place with Professor Lupin over Easter and pick out a few books on magic while she was there.
Sirius said that although Hogwarts didn't close for the Easter holidays, he was sure Professor Dumbledore would agree to this small request from Harley.
However, Harley probably couldn't stay at Number 12 Grimmauld Place for long. It was simply too filthy and too difficult to clean.
Sirius said he wasn't very good at household spells, and some damned bastard was making trouble for him.
So unless he spent a year or two on it, he'd never get the place cleaned up.
Sirius didn't say who the damned bastard was.
Harley could more or less guess, though. It was probably some kind of creature left behind by House of Black to protect the house.
"Sounds good. I could invite Hermione to come along, too. She's been under too much pressure, with so many subjects to revise for. She needs to unwind a little."
Harley stared at the letter, lost in thought as she made a mental list of everything she needed to do.
Hmm... Before I leave, I should go teach the Acromantulas another lesson. Hedwig says those idiots are getting restless again.
I should also get some Potion ingredients from Hagrid and Professor Snape. What if there's some unknown kind of magic in Sirius's ancestral home?
*Speaking of Potions, I still haven't collected all the ingredients for the Potion
