Part 9 : Healing Black

The following days Neville, Hermione, and Lily decided to make Grimmauld Place a better home to live in by a disposal plan to the dark curses as they will stay there for an unknown period of time. Neville did it for the sake of the role he played as an order member.
Lily did it because she is an angelic and kind-hearted witch. Hermione however, did it for Sirius, he is depressed because of this, it's her point of view that the environment a man lives in Reshape his personality.
"The portrait will be the last mission, now let us begin with the walls and ghosts" lily suggested. As they pointed the wand on the spider's web that gathered really strong in the corner of the ceilings , dust started to fell over their heads, followed by coughing and "Ewws!"

" What the hell was Kreacher doing for ten years here?" Hermione complained.

Ginny was casting moving objects spell to the chandelier. "Wingardium Leviosa."

"Nothing, he was cleaning the stares, glorifying and praising the ancestor's portraits and old masters spirit like gods." The friends fell laughing at her genius perspective.

"Come on, I think if we went deeper in this house we may find a Basilisk." Ginny joked.

Neville took a book out of his bag and started to brew potions in the kitchen to start to sterilize this cursed place.The heir of black, was surprised of something is changing in the house but couldn't exactly tell what, until he accidentally enters the living room and saw Hermione. He was dead silent enjoying the view of her, over the table trying to get the curtains down, wearing red short shorts and a cropped shirt that exposes half of her skin.

"She isn't a teen anymore, is she?" Black thought to himself.
"Careful, the table is shaking" he warned her.
She gasped in surprise, before shouting "Oh my lord, SIRIUS ORION BLACK! NEXT TIME TRY TO SAY HI INSTEAD OF FRIGHTEN ME LIKE THIS." The table turned as she fell before she touched the ground, he quickly holds her making her face red as a tomato sauce.
"You okay? Sorry about that."
"I'm fine." She blushed,

A far voice came from the kitchen, "What do you think you're doing?"
As they ran towards the kitchen, Snape was holding Neville from the back of his shirt.
"I'm sorry sir, I thought you are a Boggart, I didn't know it was really you in person."
"One hundred points from Gryffindor for being such a.."
"Hey Snape, show some respect in my house. There really is a Boggart here and you did show up to him yesterday" Sirius laughed.
"Fine " he dusted his cloak . ."  Dumbeldore is requesting Potter, as he is underage I am the one who should depart him, where is he?" he noticed Hermione wearing shorts and embarrassed

"What are you wearing miss Granger!?" He narrowed his eyes towards her, she left with embarrassment.
"It's not your business what she is wearing Snivilus, why don't you do what Dumbeldore asked you to do."
"At least I am not hiding in my mother's house." he sneered and quickly walked through the corridors, calling for Harry to come out.
As Harry went departing with Snape, Hermione high-fived Ginny and winked at her. "It works!"
Lily came with a bushed red hair and sighed "I managed to get this Boggart out, I cleaned the library.."
.. "  oh Hi Sev ! " She was brightly smiling at him.
Severus nodded at her formally, " Good day Mrs.potter " , and he left out with Harry, followed by Sirius disgusted stares.

    In the evening , Sirius was doing his astological analysis in the sky , as he promised Nevill to help him finding the exact aspect for his potions. He was in the roof gazing at his grandfather horoscope, Hermione kindly assest him with writing notes in her right hand and the " wizards guide stars calender " is on her left hand ..
" Moon in scorpio , in 17 degrees , Sirius you should check if mars is having any square angle or Opposition, because that won't work"
He huffed a small laugh " You and Nevill are giving my family rubbish a bit of extra care, if I were you I would kick them out at the nearest trash dump"
" It's dangerous Sirius! The magical objects will follow you , and will make mess out there in the streets , guess you know that "
He left the horoscope, and went closer to her  .. took the notebook from her hands and relaxed at the Chimney, he sighed heavily " They are haunting me here , Hermione " he pointed at his head , " and here too"
and pressed at his heart.
She hold his hands , and moved them away from his chest and covered them in both her hands, " We shall be the good replacement, Sirius .. all of us down there , I promise I will be the one who make things better for you- "
She said calmly.
