Hogwarts’s Affectionate and Righteous Slytherin

"Of course I understand." Sirius no longer jumped, but instead showed a heaviness that did not match his age, just like the educated and steady heir that the Blacks had longed for.

"Of course I understand," Sirius repeated, "but Dumbledore has enough power to compete with the Mystery Man, why can't he take advantage of this? If I can get the freedom I want, I don't mind... …”

"That's not freedom, Sirius." Ridge said meaningfully, "How could Dumbledore let go of someone he could use so easily? But he chose the wrong way, he thought Bellatrix didn't like it. Rodolphus, will he do what he wants to rebel against the wedding? But he underestimates Bellatrix, she has love, whoever she loves but she does have love. Besides, he wants It's impossible to convince a pureblood with words like that."

"Love is indeed a very great magic." Reggie's voice was low, like a whisper.

"Even if Bellatrix and Rodolphus -- well, don't stare at me, I'm just saying if, even if they hate the wedding again." Ridge rolled her eyes.

In Sirius' heart, even though he sneered at Bellatrix, he subconsciously didn't think that other pure bloods were qualified to dislike her.

Reggie's voice continued, "The environment and education they have been in since they were young make it impossible for them to agree with Dumbledore's point of view. Bellatrix can accept that she is married to someone who does not love. The pure-blooded, started a marriage that neither expected nor enthusiastic, but could not accept himself as a traitor to the family, much less agree to marry a Muggle because of love - such as Andromeda."

"It's Bellatrix's pride, Dumbledore, he made the wrong idea."

But Sirius didn't seem to hear what he was saying, and instead said as if he wanted to understand something: "If that's the case, it really won't work - even if that mad woman Bella is willing to resist..."

He seemed to be suddenly a little frustrated, and fell headlong on the sofa: "Then, if I have such a day... You know, not just marriage, but everything, just thinking about it. It felt unbearable for me and maybe I would leave too."

The atmosphere became low, and even Snape just pursed his lips, casting a look of pity at the boy on the sofa for the first time.

"To be honest, I actually don't think that day is too far away."

James opened his mouth, but it was rare that he didn't know what to say.

He just grabbed the buddy's shoulder, "Don't worry, Bigfoot, you are welcome to Godric's Hollow, my parents like you very much, I dare say they will treat you as their second son."

Sirius swept away his confusion and grinned: "Remember what you said, Fork!"

After escaping from Black Manor.

Andromeda forgot how long it had been since she hadn't breathed so smoothly. If it wasn't for the fear of being too rude, she almost wanted to scream to vent her depression and hesitation over the past few months, maybe the past few years.

She finally embarked on a path that she hadn't thought of in the past ten years. Before choosing it, she hesitated and feared, but when she abandoned everything and rushed forward without hesitation, she carefully saw how bright this path was. How prosperous.

"Where's Ted?" When Andromeda found that they had appeared in an inconspicuous corner under the tree, their figures were completely obscured by a distorted shadow.

"Where is this?" Andromeda looked around, and she could tell when she asked, "This is Godric's Hollow?"

Is this a Derek Valley?

The place that Black secretly calls Sinland?

"There may be people somewhere else, but I can only imagine that it's safe here. Don't worry, you'll see Ted Tonks soon enough."

Reggie did not allow Kreacher to Apparate directly to his residence, for the sake of confidentiality and security - after all, he knew all too well about the next magical world, and even Godric's Hollow was not necessarily safe.

After casting the Oblivion Charm on Kreacher, Sirius chose to follow him away.

He also needs to cheer up, because he understands that when they go back, they will see an empty bedroom...  

What awaits him will be a hurricane, and the center of the storm is No. 12 Grimmauld Place - Black's old house.

Reggie took Andromeda down a path, and they walked carefully against the shadow of the house so as not to be noticed by others.

In fact, they didn't need to do this. At this time, the doors of every house were closed, and only the stalking decorative **** on the Christmas tree showed a little flickering light.

They went out of the village, followed the path over the fence, over the wild fields, and finally stopped by a small stream.

Someone was already waiting there.

Andromeda's hand holding the suitcase loosened, Tixue hurriedly jumped two steps to the side, and she was almost hit by the heavy suitcase.

"Tell me I'm not dreaming." Ted was startled by the footsteps. He rubbed his eyes twice and twisted his arm to make sure it wasn't a hallucination.

He took two steps forward and opened his arms to Andromeda.

Andromeda was like a butterfly, jumping into her lover's arms with joy.

Reggie looked away a little embarrassedly, knowing from his past experience that they were about to start kissing like no one else in the next second.

Fortunately, they were not carried away by happiness, knowing that there was a third person present, Andromeda had separated from Ted a little, she came over and hugged Regis tightly, and said with sincere gratitude: "I don't know what to say. Well, I'll always remember what you and Sirius and Rael did for me."

Ted picked up the box that was tossed aside, and smiled at Reggie: "Ten thousand thanks is not enough. If you need any help in the future, feel free to ask."

Reggie nodded to say goodbye to them.

"When you see Sirius when school starts, remember to help me convey my thanks to him, oh, I'll write him a letter so that he remembers to call my brother-in-law instead of drunk Ted." Ted said, Andromeda He tapped his chest lightly.

"And reassure him that I won't do it again in the future."

"Okay." Regis said softly with a smile, "I wish you happiness."

"I'm really sorry that we ruined your Christmas. We'll make it up to you when we get a chance." Andromeda said apologetically.

"And Bella's Cruciatus, I'm really sorry."

"Don't take it to heart." Reggie shrugged, "To be honest, this isn't the first time I've received such a gift at Christmas."

At the age of ten, at Blake's old house in Grimmauld Place for Christmas, he had already fondly mentioned the Gouging of the Bone Christmas limit.

As they said their last goodbyes, Reggie waved at them.

Seeing them snuggle up and Apparate away, he relaxed completely, holding back his stumble.

The after-effects are really terrible, and I don't know if there are antibodies or what's going on. Under normal circumstances, let alone experiencing Apparition again, it is a manifestation of strong willpower to remain in a coma after suffering the Cruciatus.

The potions prepared in advance did have a certain effect, which once again verified the importance of having a potion master as a brother.

"Merry Christmas." Reggie was very satisfied with herself, looked at her watch, hummed a song she hadn't hummed for a long time, and prepared to go home to spend the rest of her Christmas.

"Nubis..."

......

12 Grimmauld Place.

After an earth-shattering storm, Sirius lay indifferently in his bedroom with scars all over his body.

"Boom......"

There was a slight knock on the door.

Someone is knocking on the door.

It's so late, Kreacher was so happy long ago that he didn't want to tidy up his room. If it was Walburga, his door would only be violently opened by the curse, Orion... not at all. will talk to him.

Then only-

Sirius cautiously pulled the door open a slit, and Regulus' face appeared behind it.

"What's the matter with you?" he asked, a little raw, "if you're having nightmares and you can't sleep, I swear I won't sing lullabies.

Putting you to bed, sweet baby Rael. "

"Don't you think that's the scene of a nightmare?" Regulus inserted his hand into the crack, opened the door further, and squeezed sideways into Sirius' room.

"I didn't invite you in." Sirius leaned against the door indifferently, hugging his chest.

"You didn't tell me that Reggie was in your plan to save Andromeda." Regulus didn't beat around the bush, and went straight to the point, "This is our family's business, and you shouldn't involve others!"

There was some obvious reproach in his tone. It was the first time he used this tone to speak to the brother he had always admired. Even though he was disappointed with Sirius later, Regulus still regarded him as the best brother in his heart.

"So what?" Sirius didn't care, he walked to the sofa and sat down and said, "I have no obligation to report my plan to you in detail, and now that Andromeda is gone, it is very likely that he has already talked to Ted. Being together, this plan seems to have a happy ending, doesn't it?"

Regulus, annoyed by Sirius's dismissive attitude, said angrily: "How much luck do you need to be successful? You're always like this, just doing things with a brute force, like--just Like a mindless Gryffindor!"

"I'm sorry," Sirius narrowed his eyes unkindly, "Are you teaching me a lesson?"

"Yes." Regulus looked at him fearlessly. "You did it wrong. You put Reggie in danger, you made him suffer for no reason, it's Christmas, we What a terrible Christmas present for him."

Sirius subconsciously wanted to refute, but he had to admit that what Regulus said made sense, and he was indeed ill-conceived.

"But who would have thought Bellatrix would do such a thing?" He excused himself inwardly—subconsciously refusing to admit that he knew Bellatrix could do such a thing.

Still unwilling to suffer, he said: "Don't you think you are too sensitive about things related to Reggie? What does this have to do with you, I remember, they won't allow you to go with a pure-blood traitor too close."

Regulus's momentum weakened, he lowered his eyes and said softly: "I don't know, I regard him as a friend."

......

"Have a drink," said Sirius.

Sirius lay on the floor and dragged a box from the bottom of the bed, and pulled out two bottles of Butterbeer from it.

Regulus was amazed by the development of the situation. Since he was ten years old, he never thought that one day he would be able to sit side by side with Sirius and drink together. He took the bottle in a muddleheaded way and clinked glasses with Sirius.

Little Sirius House saw that he was still holding the bottle, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you need to say anything else?"

"Merry Christmas, Sirius. I wish Andromeda true happiness," said Regulus.

Sirius chuckled softly.

After a while, he softly echoed in a barely audible voice: "I wish Andromeda happiness.... We are also happy."

While Bellatrix's wedding caused a stir in the wizarding world, another cryptic message was also quietly spreading in the wizarding world at the same time - it was about Abraxas Malfoy, who was rumored to be seriously ill and dying. .

Because of Abraxas's well-known reputation, he was visited by quite a few well-known ladies after he became seriously ill.

But to everyone's surprise, after these ladies visited him, they were more terrified than sad, and almost invariably made an appointment with St. Mungo's doctor in a short period of time to do a body for themselves. Inspection of.

In this way, what was wrong with Abraxas became confusing.

Prior to this, the Malfoys had been claiming that Abraxas had mistakenly been cursed on some kind of black magic object handed down by the family.

Regarding the reactions of these ladies, people's speculation began to spread from some ordinary curses to many black witchcraft that only appeared in legends, such as the plague curse that was popular in the Middle Ages.

As we all know, compared to Hogwarts, which is known for its rich book collection~www.NovelMTL.com~, the real treasures about witchcraft are actually hidden in the homes of many long-standing pure-blood families.

That is the family wealth that makes them proud more than money.

These objects that record the legendary spells are not necessarily books.

You must know that in the days when the wizards were hunted and persecuted, it was obviously not safe to record the spells in books and hand them over to future generations, so many very powerful spells and even black magic themselves were only recorded in the Something that looks weird or unremarkable.

From an opal necklace to a lady's folding fan and even a treated leaf.

In addition to recording powerful curses on some of these items, there are also some curses that are difficult to remove, which is to prevent these things from falling into the hands of churches and other forces.

But with the passage of time, the methods of removing the spells that should have been handed down with these objects gradually disappeared, which caused many famous wizards to study these ancient spells. Cursed, and even lost their lives because of it.

Maybe Abraxas is just another hapless one?
