Putting the book on his lap, Regulus looked at the Quidditch field in the distance. Their first flying lesson was tomorrow afternoon, and today, if his memory was correct, it was Gryffindor. When selecting new Quidditch players. The railing he was sitting on was not close to the Quidditch pitch, and even from here he could only vaguely make out human figures. But he saw the James Potter whom Sirius called his brother, and his real brother Sirius Black.

He lowered his eyes and turned to the next page of the book that had not been turned for some time. Regulus suddenly had no interest in seeing him, just as he thought. Sirius chose freedom, and he chose responsibility, just like he and Sirius were in the same state during the first few days of school. They did not have a single conversation. Sirius was not a stickler for rules, so the academy was not a strict obstacle to Sirius. His obstacle was probably his own choice. During the holidays, Sirius expected him more than once to go to Gryffindor or other houses, even Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, or Slytherin, but he couldn't do it. There was no way to choose 'betrayal' after Sirius chose 'betrayal'. Sirius didn't know, but he knew how angry Wolgarb and Orion were when they found out Sirius had arrived in Gryffindor.

Sirius Black, before that, had always been a source of worry to them and their pride, a Black who was worthy of praise both externally and internally. Without his rebellious thoughts, Sirius had always been a perfect Black. Regulus can even imagine that when Sirius graduates, he will also graduate. Together they will accept the mark that symbolizes glory and become warriors who grow and advance for pure blood. He will never compete with Sirius for anything. , all he had to do was to hide behind Sirius, to assist, to provide stepping stones, to make Sirius shine even more, but all the beauty disappeared the moment Sirius' academy made a decision.

He still remembered what the Sorting Hat said during the sorting a few days ago.

"You have deep courage. Although you are not suitable for Gryffindor, you are also smart and loyal enough. Whether it is Hufflepuff or Slytherin, you are very suitable for you."

‘Rell, you are our last hope. You must go to Slytherin. That is the glory that belongs to Black. And Blake can't rebel again. ’

‘Rell, please remember not to go to Slytherin. You know, I entered Gryffindor. It’s much better than Slytherin. At least I won’t be scheming and weighing the blood of my family on the scale every day. ’

It turns out that I have a choice, Slytherin or Hufflepuff.

Oh, what an interesting choice, a choice before Blake.

"I'm going to Slytherin."

But does he have any other choice?

"I still think there should be some other way..." Ji Ciyuan said, flipping through the copy book in her hand, she turned to look at Edgar, as if she wanted to ask for an explanation from this senior who was two years older than her.

"Merlin." Emily covered her head. Since the beginning of school, Ji Ciyuan gave up his obsession with magical animals in the last semester and directly focused on werewolves and giants. Every time he finished his thesis, he would place a tall stack of books in front of him and devote himself to finding the flow of magic power between werewolves and humans who were werewolves. Of course she didn't mind, but she looked at Ji Ciyuan with some worry. There was already a faint dark green under her eyes. Lia also said that Ji Ciyuan didn't seem to have a few peaceful sleeps this semester. "A Yuan, really, what you need now is not to study werewolves or giants, but to study how to make your place disappear!" Emily said, reaching out and tapping A Yuan's eyes.

"Emily, I can't do it..." Ji Ciyuan said, lowering her head and tightening the book in her arms. She finally found the only glimmer of hope, how could she give up just like that?

"That was the past." Leah said, reaching out and holding Ji Ciyuan's fingertips. She was Ji Ciyuan's roommate. She knew many things about Ji Ciyuan better than Emily. She knew that The nightmare lingering in Ji Ciyuan's heart is also known to be the scream that is like crying blood.

"A Yuan, in fact, I don't know either." Edgar said, sighing helplessly. Compared to magical animals, he was better at magic spells and black magic defense, but compared to letting this poor creature The little girl is still having such a hard time finding it on her own, so she might as well help as much as she can. "But I will ask Professor Bourne for you."

"Thank you." Ji Ciyuan said, reaching out and closing the book in his hand, heaving a sigh of relief. "Sorry for troubling you all this time..."

"Hey, A-Yuan, it's unloyal for you to say that. Do you have any friends who thank you all the time?" Emily said, reaching out and rubbing Ji Ci-Yuan's head.

"Besides, we don't know what we're going to do if we leave you alone," Leah said, turning to look at Edgar, who shrugged as if I did the same.

Turning his head, maybe the chatting sound of Ji Ciyuan and the others slightly disturbed Regulus who was reading a book. He turned to look at Ji Ciyuan and his group who were walking by him.

Muggleborn, pureblood, what a strange combination. Regulus thought, but he was too lazy to keep his eyes on unimportant people for too long, so he lowered his head and planned to continue reading his book.

His pupils shrank slightly, and Regulus suddenly couldn't control his gaze and placed it on the book Ji Ciyuan held in his arms. It was a copied book. Of course, this was not an important thing. Those poor people When lowly Muggles don't have access to too many magical books, they sometimes use this method to enrich their brains. This is not something worth paying attention to, but that book is not.

I can guarantee that it was a book that I and Sirius wrote together during the holidays.

Closing the book, Regulus walked straight through as if he didn't see Ji Ciyuan and his group who were already approaching.

Pointing on his toes, Ji Ciyuan took half a step back into the wind, holding the book in one hand and staggering away from Regulus who was about to collide with him. Nodding slightly, Ji Ciyuan put the book back into his bag. "Sorry, didn't see you."

Standing where he was, Regulus did not move away immediately, but raised his head slightly to look at Ji Ciyuan who was standing a few steps away from him.

"Is there any problem?" Although the other party is a Slytherin, and the incident of Emily being bullied by a Slytherin in the last semester is still fresh in his memory, at least there are Slytherins like little Barty, although they are a little arrogant. A person who has some dislike for Muggles but will not act on it. What's more, Ji Ciyuan remembered that this man was Sirius's younger brother. Although he looked more like a perfect Slytherin, Ji Ciyuan She still didn't put any label on him at the beginning, so she looked at Regulus with a smile, although he had the familiar Slytherin arrogance on his face and a slight disdain in his eyes.

"I'm just curious, why would a mudblood own a copy of the Black family's books." Regulus said that he and Sirius did the copying that day, but at the time, he thought that Sirius just didn't want it. When I saw Wolgarb or Brian in the library, I never thought that Sirius would give a book to a Muggle. Thinking of this, Regulus looked around Ji Ciyuan twice. It is true that as a wizard, her appearance is indeed outstanding. Even in Slytherin, he had heard about this Ravenclaw.

‘I can guarantee that in two years at most, no wizard will be able to surpass this Mudblood in appearance. ’

'If she wasn't a mudblood, I'd even want to taste that perfect skin. ’

‘It doesn’t matter if he’s a Mudblood, Zuo is just a thing who will definitely die early at the hands of the lord. ’

'...'

If they were in the Slytherin common room, those seniors would never hide their ugly faces, especially the Lestrange brothers and Rochiel. They seemed to have predicted this person's future early, a cruel future.

However, does this have anything to do with myself? The only thing that has anything to do with her is the book in her hand.

"This is just a..."

"A gift." Regulus said, interrupting Ji Ciyuan. Until then, everything gradually connected, but there was one thing that he didn't understand or figure out. Sirius is not an unthinking person. His mind is smarter than many people think, and he is also colder than most people. So, what is the purpose of this gift? Return gift? A simple Christmas gift is impossible, because I remember clearly that during the Christmas vacation, Sirius was imprisoned in Grimmauld Place. It was impossible for him to use an owl, and no owl could bypass Wo. Ergabu was delivered directly to Sirius's hands. "One for the Mudblood..."

"I think as a Black, even if you haven't learned your brother's words, you should at least know that mudblood, this is not a good word." Interrupting Regulus, just like him Just as he had interrupted Ji Ciyuan, Ji Ciyuan reached out to stop Emily, who was almost on the verge of going crazy. Leah and Edgar took a step forward. Although they were one grade older than Regulus, they Maybe it's because Easterners are generally smaller, but I'm about the same height as Regulus. "And even a person who only has a voice should know what to say and what not to say."

"It's A Yuan and the others!" The Chasers who were successfully elected as Gryffindor were preparing to go back to the Gryffindor lounge with Sirius Remus and Peter to show off. "Hey, that's not your brother. I think his name is Regulus?"

Looking at the people not far away, Sirius walked over quickly.

"I have never known what qualifications a Mudblood has to talk about Black. Black is destined to be a Slytherin, and Sirius, choosing Gryffindor is a betrayal of Black." Regulus said, stretching out two fingers to hold Ji. Ci Yuan took out the book he had put in his bag. Because he was in a hurry, the cover of the book was made of parchment, and the footers were slightly rolled up to show his efficiency. "However, I think you should know that this belongs to Black. Even if it is in your hands, its owner should be a Black after all. And you, a Mudblood, you don't deserve it."

"Then at least Sirius is doing it for himself, what about you? Besides Black, who are you? Or who?" Ji Ciyuan said, with a laugh coming out of his mouth. "I'm afraid it's not even your own name, you're just, Black Black."

"As an individual wizard, Sirius at least became Sirius. What about you? Did you become Regulus? I'm afraid it's just Black!" Ji Ciyuan said, looking at him with his dark purple eyes. Regulus's hand was clenching, but Ji Ciyuan still did not take out his wand or Gu flute, just as a way to show Sirius some face. After all, the man in front of him was his younger brother.

"..." Realizing the meaning of the Black string in Ji Ciyuan's mouth, Regulus felt his teeth itching. He breathed to calm his heartbeat and reached out to shake the book in his hand. "Then, even then this book shouldn't belong to a Mudblood."

Reaching out and grabbing the book from Regulus' hand, Sirius looked at Regulus who turned to look at him, and threw the book to Ji Ciyuan who was opposite. His face was a little gloomy, and his tone was naturally not gentle and even a little cold. "I gave it to her, is there anything wrong with it?"

"Of course...no." Regulus said, looking at the book in Ji Ciyuan's hand, then turned and left.

"What a nasty person." Seeing that Regulus had disappeared from sight, Emily said, glancing slightly at her mouth. He reached out to hold Ji Ciyuan's hand and rubbed it comfortingly, "A-Yuan is not angry. There is no need for us to be angry with that person."

Of course, Emily herself was very angry, and she was so angry that she wanted to rush forward and tear that person's ugly face apart, but Emily also knew that Ji Ciyuan was obviously more sad than herself, the person who was listening. After all, Regulus was always called a merciless mudblood.

"I'm fine, Emily." Ji Ciyuan said, smiling comfortingly at Emily. "Black, if there is any trouble..." Ji Ciyuan said, taking two quick steps to catch up with Sirius who had already left, and put the book in front of Sirius.

Frowning, Sirius looked at Ji Ciyuan, clicked his tongue, waved his hand, and pulled James away. "Just keep it if you want."

Ji Ciyuan slightly bent his head and put the book in his bag. Although the matter was settled this time, he still didn't want to get into trouble. He had simply read this book countless times. From now on, Just don't take it out casually. Ji Ciyuan thought, turned around and walked back to Emily and Leah. He said goodbye to Edgar at the next turn and then returned to Ravenclaw Tower.

Back in the Slytherin common room, Regulus ignored the others and just excused himself as tired and went back to the dormitory. It happened to be daytime, and his roommate hadn't come back yet. He threw the book in his hand on the table. Regulus took a deep breath to calm his violent heartbeat. No one knew that Ji Ciyuan said those words. In the end, she wondered how fast her heartbeat was and how much she hated her. No matter how fierce her expression was, it was just a bluff.

"Damn it!" Sitting on the bed, Regulus cursed angrily, that Muggle, that Oriental, why should she? She obviously didn't know anything, so why did she say that?

But was what she said wrong?

Yes, what she said was not wrong at all. That's why it's even more annoying.

Regulus Black is a Black and can only be a Black.
