Chapter 6 Order of the Phoenix: The Noble and Most Ancient House of Black. Harry and crew prepare to clean the house out of Doxies and Boggarts and other nasties. Harry learns that Kreacher, the house elf, is elderly but very nasty, too.

Fred and George grab a few for their new joke shop. The have interesting Puking Pastilles that they use to help kids get out of class. You eat one end and are violently ill, eat the other (after you are out of class) and you are instantly cured.

Shortly after that, Mundungus shows up and Mrs. Weasley yells at him for hiding stolen goods in the headquarters. Kreacher directly insults many of the group and is told to leave the room. Sirius shows Harry the House Tapestry, that has the family bloodline on it. Several of them, including Sirius, have been burned out of the tapestry by his evil mother.

You learn Sirius' brother, Regulus, was a Death Eater and was killed. That Tonks' mother was Andromeda, and was Sirius' cousin. The sisters of Andromeda were Bellatrix and Narcissa. Andromeda married Ted Tonks, a muggle, which got her kicked out of the family.

Narcissa married Lucius Malfoy - and their son is Draco. Sirius says all pure-blooded wizards are pretty much related since there aren't many people for them to marry any more.

Bellatrix married Rodolphus Lestrange - they were Death Eaters that were sent to Azkaban.

Sirius says he's miserable being cooped up in the house and wants to get out. Harry offers to stay with him if he can't go back to school. They clean some more, and then later Harry is told that Dumbledore stopped by while he was asleep. He's upset that Dumbledore is avoiding him.
