Before most people were aware of it, that war was already closely related to everyone's life.

Maybe someone once caught a glimpse of some omen, such as some wizards who can make prophecies - such as the Trelawney family, or some sober wise men, who are familiar with the trajectory of history, and they learn from a crystal ball or a piece of paper. In the newspaper, I saw the cruel smile of the God of Fate.

However, more are ordinary people.

Muggles or wizards.

They know nothing of the tragedy to come.

Time rolls on, and many years later, history repeats itself again.

In fact, it didn't take long.

The Muggle wars are over, and the wizarding wars have begun.

When wizards and wizards in Britain came together to condemn former Minister of Magic Hector Foley for not taking Grindelwald's threat seriously enough, and demanded that Albus Dumbledore fight to defeat each other, they did not learn from the previous Muggle wars Learn from any experience and have completely forgotten that wars never break out overnight.

The wizard's first war, before they discovered it.

It began with the approval votes cast by those he lobbied for when Grindelwald sought the presidency of the International Fifty Federation.

From his speech in front of Lachaise Cemetery in France.

It started when he jumped off Gregorovitch's windowsill.

It started that summer, in Godric's Hollow, when a blond boy met a brown-haired boy.

From that ambitious idea - for the greater good.

In short, that's what even the chief mages of Wizengamore can think of - all evil is the bewitching of black magic.

Gellert Grindelwald is responsible for this.

As for the hatred between Muggles and wizards for a hundred years, the long-term rivalry between pure blood and mixed blood, the turbulent power struggle in the Ministry of Magic, the re-rise of the Carroll family, the annulment of the Black family's marriage contract, the Malfoy family's embezzlement in Knockturn Alley Cannibalization, the resignation of Galadia Melles, and the bizarre death of a Ravenclaw girl, such trivial matters can be put aside. Everyone agreed that this war started, and could only start, with the unspeakable Dark Lord.

So, in that war, Gellert Grindelwald became the biggest culprit and the only culprit.

In the end, he lost.

The war seemed to be over.

Everything is going for the better.

It's just that they got it wrong in the first place.

So, bad luck has come again, and a new black devil has emerged in the magic world.

As a boy he was Tom Riddle, and later he called himself Voldemort - non-death, and now people call him the man whose name can't be said.

And the wizards are just budding old ways.

They began to find various reasons for this sin again.

Black magic, lust, bewitchment, ambition...

Perhaps everything, as early as the burning wardrobe species in the orphanage, has begun to take shape.

******

After Halloween.

Ted Tonks doesn't know anything about Andromeda's Christmas wedding.

In a way, even Reggie knows more than he does.

Regulus's mood is also getting more and more anxious, he always has an ominous premonition, especially the bad idea that Sirius gave at Mrs. Patty's teahouse last time.

He was a little undecided whether or not to tell his mother Walburga that they would never let Andromeda do something stupid—elope.

However, Regulus recalled the appearance of Andromeda in the past, and was thinking about the appearance of the present.

He felt that something had torn him in two, half the honor of the Black family, usually Andromeda's smiling face.

On this side, Regulus did not talk to Reggie, but the other side was dispatched.

Potions class.

James and Sirius were winking at Reggie, and he calmly picked up the small note at his feet, "At ten o'clock tonight, the Room of Requirement."

For Merlin's sake, why should he be consulted on such matters as elopement?

Inside the house upon request.

After hearing the descriptions of the two of them, Regis only felt a little headache.

"So, you mean, let me figure out a way to help Andromeda Black run off with Ted Tonks?"

"The summary is very good." James nodded, "Moonface let us ask your opinion, what do you think?"

"I think... Since Andromeda is not afraid of being expelled from the family, can't he just run away?" Regis shrugged.

"After all, they are all grown ups, and there is no trace of them. Besides, since Ted Tonks was born Muggle, they can hide in the Muggle world directly, I believe - with your family's temper, definitely Not going into the Muggle world in search of them."

Regis looked at them like a fool.

Sirius turned his face aside with a thoughtful expression.

James slapped his thigh. "That's right! Dude, let's write to your cousin quickly."

Back in the Slytherin lounge, Reggie knew that Andromeda would be fired, and successfully gave birth to a daughter with Ted.

And their daughter will eventually marry Sirius' best friend, Remus Lupin.

......

In the Room of Requirement, after hearing about the good things they did for this, Regis actually didn't understand it very much. They even persuaded Regulus, but they just tried to pass some love letters without actually taking action.

Doing that, except to ease the emotions of Andromeda and Ted's pair of hard-working mandarin ducks, is meaningless.

It does not contribute anything to changing the situation of the two people.

He thought that after such a long time, at least a few of them could have a more detailed and operational plan.

When Ted Tonks found Sirius with a lifeless look on his face, the latter was so taken aback that he almost didn't recognize him.

He knew the news that Andromeda was about to get engaged. Although he was only a clerk in the Diagon Alley store, he still had his own information channels, not to mention the wedding of the Black family and the Selwyn family.

Andromeda's wedding and Bellatrix's wedding were almost front and rear.

Ted Tonks was silent for a long, long time when he heard the news, and he finally just continued his work.

It wasn't until after get off work that he walked into the Broken Cauldron Bar and sat in front of the bar in a daze. He drank one cup after another, and when he drank it, his half-length robe was wet with the wine.

After that day, he took leave.

He has passed two days when he was paralyzed by alcohol.

Meet Sirius today at Three Broomsticks.

Still did not speak, when Sirius came, all he saw was an unshaven drunkard.

"You stay awake! Ted! I will definitely help you and Andromeda, but you need to cheer yourself up!" Sirius shook his shoulder hard, which also caused Ted to lose his grip on one hand, and the wine glass "Clang" fell to the ground.

Mrs. Rostammer glared at them both.

Sirius rolled his eyes, took out a silver civet from his pocket and slapped it on the bar.

And Ted still didn't respond to this, and even still tried to reach the bar numbly, delusionally picking up the next glass of wine.

Sirius gritted his teeth, just thinking of the tragic encounter between the two - feeling that he should understand him, even though he couldn't.

He sighed irritably, took out his wand from his sleeve to clean Ted's wine-soaked robe, and sighed, "What are you going to do? It's not much time until Christmas, you know, Andromeda doesn't Don't want to marry that Selwyn."

Hearing Andromeda's name, Ted's numb eyes began to focus, and he turned his head blankly and looked around, as if he had just realized where he was.

"My plan?" He began to tighten his palms, making fists, "I don't know... Since I received this news, I don't know, none of you have written to me to tell me about it, Maybe you think too—"

Sirius stood up with a bang, and his movements were so great that he kicked the chair under him.

Mrs. Rostam slammed the rag on the table.

But this time, Sirius didn't look at her, but glared at Ted in anger, and said incredulously: "How would you think so?! I really feel worthless for Andromeda."

He said coldly: "We are all helping you during this time...even Rael...my cowardly younger brother has stood up, yes, he has never Wouldn't disobey our mother like this!"

"If you don't want to be with Andromeda, that's fine, I'll tell her the truth." After speaking, Sirius turned around and prepared to leave.

However, Ted anxiously grabbed the corner of his robe, like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw, making him unable to break free at all.

"I thought, why wouldn't I want to be with Andromeda?" Ted was a little excited.

But soon fell down again, only holding Sirius' robe tightly in his hand, "But maybe you—other Blacks, like her parents are right, she's the young lady of the Black family...maybe Marrying someone from an equally powerful family is what everyone will think is the best outcome."

"She deserves better... than a grocery store clerk, maybe a little longer, she'll forget about a man named Ted Tonks, forget about this farce, and continue to be in front of Miss Gui, Lady."

As Ted spoke, the strength in his hand began to loosen, until it completely slipped from the corner of Sirius' robe.

He closed his eyes, as if the statement had caused him great pain, but continued to whisper, "But if she were with me, I knew she would—"

"Of course she will, you idiot!" Sirius growled in a low voice.

"But she's with me, and she'll get nothing and lose everything—oh! She deserves a better life." Tears finally fell from the corners of Ted Tonks' eyes.

But this did not arouse Sirius's sympathy, and his expression even became contemptuous: "Are all Hufflepuffs cowards like you?"

"What?" Ted didn't respond for a while.

"I said! Hufflepuff! Are all cowards like you?!"

"How - why are you insulting Hufflepuff?!" Ted stood up abruptly, staring at Sirius and shouting loudly.

"I didn't mean to offend Hufflepuff, I was just insulting you!" Sirius looked arrogant and looked at Ted sharply, as if looking at another piece of garbage.

"I really feel worthless for Andromeda. I didn't expect my best cousin to fall in love with a coward like you!"

"Shut up!" Ted's lips quivered with anger. "You don't understand anything, what right do you have to say that—you're a Blake, and you'll never understand the lives of people like us."

"I'm doing it for Andromeda's sake. What's the use of being with me? She gets nothing but ridicule and sarcasm! She gets nothing!"

"boom"

The unbearable Sirius punched and punched Ted in the face.

Startled for a moment, and soon, the two scuffled together.

Instead, Mrs. Rostammer picked up the rag again and continued to wipe the quilt indifferently.

In James' view, Sirius is the kind of person who doesn't need to bother learning, improving himself, or perfecting his abilities, because Sirius is already the closest thing to perfection by nature.

"Thank you." Sirius himself didn't agree with that view—though he did think he was perfect.

On the contrary, he believes that, despite being quite incredible, occasionally, his perfection is not achieved in an instant.

Sometimes these areas do need some "improvement," and he's willing to do that if necessary. After all, it's impossible for a person to become as incredible as Sirius without putting in the slightest effort.

The conundrum in the moments above is that Jaime tends to turn them into internal meetings of predators.

Allow me to give an example: "Prongs, have you heard of 'The Essential Elements of Poetry'? It's a lot more than I thought." Sirius leaned back in his chair, flipping through Pamela's "Introduction to Apprentice Poets", he said thoughtfully.

James didn't even look up at Sirius. He's too busy writing a poem that kills all poems, just because Sirius teases him that he'll never write a heart-pounding one - mostly Lily's, and Peter bursts into piercing laughter.

He didn't have time for Sirius' antics, and honestly, the poem was really important.

"Metering, rhyme, rhythm, cross-sentence, what's this, Moonface?" James asked.

Remus also didn't look up at him~www.NovelMTL.com~ However, unlike James, Remus was actually spending his time usefully studying for O.W.L.S.

He murmured, "I don't know, prong." Then he resumed copying his history of magic notes.

James frowned and grabbed the big dictionary he had asked Pince to find out for this purpose - much to Mrs. Pince's surprise, and shoved it across the table to Peter, who was also trying to study for O.W.L.S.

"Check it out, Wormtail? Consecutive sentences."

Peter, who usually had a harder time ignoring James' sloppy demeanor than the others, sighed and started looking up the dictionary.

"How?" he asked.

"E-n-j-a--"

"Can you two be quiet? I'm trying to conceive of a map," Sirius whispered.

"..m-b-m-e-n-t," James finished under his breath, then turned to Sirius and added, "This is important, Bigfoot. I have to make sure that this poem will make Lily fall in love with me."
