HP solves the mystery

Regulus looked at his mother who was unhappy because his brother Sirius had left home. He ate a few bites of steak before he spoke carefully, "Mom, I have already approved yesterday's declaration form. Do we still have to go to the Port of Liverpool today?" "

They had previously ordered a batch of gold tableware from Indonesia for Sirius' engagement and brought a large amount of trade goods, which they needed to inventory.

Orion stopped drinking tea when he heard this. He was very upset by the unfilial son's escape. After asking other house elves, he confirmed that he escaped on a broomstick.

I became even more angry when I thought about it. He paid for the custom-made broomstick as a gift!

What's more important is that I have to wipe his butt for him!

Walburga cut the steak with a knife and fork, but what came into her mouth was a ball of air. She was so angry that she fainted. Although the stabilizer given by her younger son allowed her to have a peaceful nap, the magic power rioted. But I can't get rid of the restless feeling afterwards.

"Go, why don't you go?" She raised her eyelids and said tiredly, her face pale and weak, "We have agreed, but we can't break the appointment."

"Wall, your face doesn't look good... How about I take Leal there... Do you want to chat with Kreacher at home?" Orion took the knife and fork from her hand and cut the steak into small pieces. Feeding them piece by piece, with eyes full of love.

After Walburga took a few bites, she shook her head slightly and turned her eyes to her youngest son, Regulus, who was looking at her worriedly.

Orion finished the rest on the plate and drank tea while waiting for his wife's decision.

Kreacher appeared at the right time, put away the things on the table, and delivered delicious pastries and black tea with a snap of his fingers. He kept paying attention to the movements in the room. The hostess and the young master didn't eat much at all.

"Rael, do you know what was written in the little note left by Sirius?" Walburga stirred the tea cup with a spoon and said calmly, "He said that his family had banned his wings and bought and sold his marriage. It’s not a warm home, and there’s no place for him here. He decided to take a break and live outside... The lady from the Carlo family asked us to say sorry on his behalf..."

Regulus remained silent and said nothing. He really couldn't figure out why Sirius agreed to get engaged a few days ago if he wanted to run away. Even if it was just to make people relax their vigilance, the consequences of this would be huge.

Fortunately, Walburga didn't want him to answer. He lowered his head and turned the family ring on his left thumb, "I always thought that your brother could retain the qualities of Slytherin even if he entered Gryffindor... maybe like It’s the same as his principal...it’s just..."

"The Carlo family is not that easy to let go, Rael. If we want to terminate the engagement, we have to give some compensation. They may use this as a basis to let us open up the routes we have opened in Germany... Rael, you know what this means. What are you wearing?"

Regulus shook his head and nodded, seeming to understand. He was just a young boy who was new to politics, and he had not yet understood things in the English wizarding world.

"Everything is like a flower in the water, a moon in a dream, we need to protect it, Rael," Walburga took the family head ring and clapped her hands heavily on the table. The teacup on it left the table for a while and then fell back. Her face He looked in a daze, "That was what your great-grandfather started in the past, in order to save the sluggish Black family, risking his life..."

Orion nodded in agreement. He and Walburga were cousins ​​and had similar ancestors, so they naturally knew these things.

"Mother, Sirius may not be able to figure it out at the moment... Let's not be so arbitrary..." Regulus said bravely. The ancestors' inheritance cannot be given away, not to mention that shipping is still the main source of money. "Maybe he will be here in a few days. I figured it out..."

"Rael, I am not asking for marriage as Mrs. Black, but as the head of the Black family. Otherwise, how could the head of the Carlo family agree to marry his daughter..." Walburga became even more irritable, with a look on his face. ferocious.

Regulus saw his mother's expression was wrong. She had never been like this before. He opened his mouth. Thinking of his previous conversation with Sirius, he made up his mind and said, "Mother, you just said you wanted to get engaged to them. Miss Carlo is from Germany." Armstrong came back here for the summer vacation, and she and Sirius had spent some time together... So... it's okay if it's not Sirius, right?"

After saying this, he felt something disappearing in his heart, but he couldn't see or touch it, it was just uncomfortable and tight.

Walburga finally raised his lowered eyes, his gray eyes filled with a bit of astonishment at the moment, obviously not expecting his youngest son to say that.

After hearing this, Orion tapped his fingers on the table, thinking about the possibility of implementing this matter.

"Sirius told me before that he doesn't want to get engaged to Miss Carlo. If he really binds them forcefully, I don't know what he will do. And...this way he can pursue freedom, right, mother... " Regulus smiled with a warm smile on his lips. Isn't leaving without saying goodbye this time the best example?

Walburga looked at the calm face that looked exactly like his eldest son, and couldn't tell what he felt in his heart.

"Rael, this may be a good idea, but... you are also my son... planning this good marriage for your brother... is also to prove our loyalty and 'purity' to that adult..." She took a sip Black tea moistened her throat. For this marriage, she and Orion had found many ways to get in touch with the Carlo family branch in Germany. The most important thing was that they were still studying in Durmstrang.

"After all, your brother's entry into Gryffindor has become a 'stain' for outsiders to attack us. That adult even asked us about this matter before. The young lady from the Carrow family is three years older than you, Rael. Besides, this is not the case." It's not something that can be solved by changing the engaged person..."

"But...but mother...you are several years older than father...then what should we do? Sirius has run away..." Regulus whispered, feeling relieved in his heart. Of course, if mother really agrees, Ask him to be Miss Carlo's fiancé, and he will do it. The Black family cannot lose its reputation and century-old foundation.

Orion sighed and straightened the cuffs of his suit, and gave up the idea of ​​changing. The palms and backs of his hands were full of flesh. They had always been partial to Sirius, but the younger son was also their family, and they could not hurt the obedient and sensible little boy for the sake of the rebellious elder son. Son.

Apparently Walburga and Orion had the same idea. She drank all the black tea in her cup and said, "Rael, good mother knows that you are very good, but sometimes think more about yourself. If you are better, then We will do our best to help the family... we are not the only ones in the family..."

She stood up and took her wand, and Orion stood up and took her hand naturally.

"I'll just go with your father. You talk to Kreacher at home. Don't tell anything about Sirius for the time being. I'll discuss it with the Carlo family. Maybe Sirius will change his attitude after meeting someone he knows..." After speaking, Walburga waved his wand and disappeared from the restaurant in a few breaths.

Apparently they had apparated, and they were wasting too much time at home.

Regulus ate the pastries dully. His mother actually thought that his brother would change his attitude? He always sounds like a dark wizard when he doesn't see anyone... Although Durmstrang is indeed a dark magic school... and it also produced the first generation of Dark Lords... But how are the wizards inside? You have to get in touch to know...

Sirius's running away from home came to an end, and peace seemed to have returned to the Black family.

On the other side, Severus, who had not long returned home, ran into trouble. He wanted to buy a new house, but found that... England did not have an ID card...

It’s 1976, and I don’t have an ID card... Well, this is a country that really values ​​privacy...
