Sirius looked up from reading the latest letter from Harry and cursed when he saw the time and herd the front doorbell again. With a few quick flicks of his wand, Sirius banished the remains of his breakfast and directed his plate to the sink which started washing its self.
Running up the currently bare wooden stairs from the kitchen to the front hall of his house. Pausing a moment to admire the changes to his old family home gone where the shrunken elf heads, the old gas lamps, the peeling wallpaper and worn thin carpet. Now there was light wood panelling and white carpets but the biggest change had been the removal of his mother's portrait.
The curse breakers had tried everything they could think off to remove it till one young apprentice had snapped and fired a Bombarda Maxima spell at the painting blowing it and the wall up leading one of the older curse breakers to slap him around the head for as she put it "running the risk of causing the whole damn house to collapse on them if that been a load-bearing wall" then slapping him on the shoulder for pointing out the obvious answer of "if you can't remove the Painting remove the wall it's on".
on the plus side from Sirius's point of view the sight of seeing his Mistresses Portrait destroyed had caused the old family house-elf to die when he tried to attack the curse breaker against Sirius's previous orders.
Hearing the doorbell again Sirius opened the door to see a young brown-haired man wearing a tweed jacket over a white shirt, a blue bow tie, blue trousers, blue boots and for some strange reason a fez.
"Mr Black I assume?"
"uh yes I am and you are?"
"Smith, Matt Smith one of my colleague's asked me to look at a locket I believe it was that they were having some trouble figuring out"
a loud cough drew Sirius attention to younger red haired women in a red check shirt, leather jacket, blue jeans and trainers.
"ah right sorry Mr Black this is my current assistant Miss Pond"
"Amy" the young woman replies in a Scottish accent while holding her hand out which Sirius shakes.
Clapping his hands together Mr. smith grins "right now shall we?"
leading them back down the hall through the kitchen Sirius pauses at the basement stairs.
"no, it's no good I just have to ask why the bow tie and fez"
"because they are cool aren't they Miss. Pond?" Mr Smith replies with a puzzled look on his face
Miss. Pond just shakes her head while rubbing her forehead "as me and everyone else keeps saying no they aren't"
shaking his head again Sirius leads them down into the basement across to a sold steel door
"Jack stop flirting" Miss. Pond and Mr Smith snickered at that.
"ah I see our colleague's Mr Tennant and Miss Tyler set the password"
"yes," Sirius replied with a raised eyebrow, "but they refused to explain why that phrase?"
"one of our American counterparts they worked with for a while Jack Harkness was a prolific flirt"
"huh" steeping back Sirius allowed them to enter the room
Mr Smith started poking at the only item in the room a large gold locket with an S on the front inlaid with green gems.
"Bloody Hell there's some nasty Magic on this what you have here Mr Black is Horcrux or soul shard embedded in if I'm not mistaken Salazar Slytherin's locket"
"What!" Sirius yelled "how did my family get that"
"no idea on that front but I can remove the soul piece with a bit of work or just destroy it with fiendfyre?"
Sirius smirked for a moment then chuckled seeing the confused look for the two curse breakers Sirius snorted "just thinking of the fun if I gave that locket to my Godson's Muggle-born Gryffindor girlfriend"
"oh god the pure blood's would go crazy"
"so transfer it?"
"yep Transfer it please"
pulling a box of chalk from his pocket Mr Smith started to etch out a large circle in white chalk with another smaller circle slightly overlapping the first while Miss. Pond pulled a large white diamond from the bag in her pocket placing it in the centre of the smaller circle. Once completed they both took a small bag of salt from there pockets and traced the chalk circles but leaving a gap where they overlapped.
"I can see why they asked me to do this I'm the only member of our team that has ever seen this never mind done it before and that's only because I was on assignment in Egypt with there ministry curse breakers for my last year's training I doubt anyone outside of Egypt even knows you can transfer them not just destroy them"
"wouldn't Gringotts know?"
"no, they are required by law to let the Egyptian curse breakers deal with them since the seventeen hundreds mostly because even when they did try telling them before that the Gringotts teams instead of on destroying the tainted treasures as they put it"
placing the locket in the large circle Mr. smith sat down cross-legged pointing his wand at the salt circle "ready Miss. Pond?"
"yeah just never done this before"
"you'll be fine Amy removing is much harder than binding believe me" pointing his wand at the locket Mr Smith started to chant "'iizalat alruwh" over and over till a black vapour started to rise up from the locket causing Sirius to jerk back. As soon as it started Miss. Pond pointed her wand at the diamond started chanting "rabt alruwh" causing the black vapour to draw into the diamond a few minutes they both began sweating after five minutes the vapour was all now trapped in the now black diamond.
"That was not fun"
"oh believe me that was too easy" Sirius and Miss. Pond looked at the grim-looking Mr Smith.
"easy?"
"oh yes Amy that should have taken longer"
"what does that mean?"
"it means Mr Black that whoever soul that is they have split there soul more than once"
