HP solves the mystery

Chapter 54 Troubled

As Christmas approaches, the joy of the little wizards becomes even higher, and they seem to have almost forgotten the fear caused by Voldemort.

The weather was getting colder and colder, and the biting cold wind felt like a knife on his face. Even Hagrid would rather stay in the cabin than go out.

Two tall and thin figures walked out of the castle against the flow of people and headed to a secluded place in the northeast corner.

In a corner outside the Forbidden Forest, Regulus looked at the snow-covered forest and rubbed his stiff cheeks with his hands. He felt that if it weren't for his parents' unspoken words, he would never want to see his brother again. Sirius.

Regulus looked at the person in front of him and sneered in his heart, no matter how much brotherhood he had, it was almost worn away.

What's more, this person is completely confused. If his mother hadn't shown his crazy side in front of outsiders to show that Sirius was rejected by the family, his life would not have been so easy.

"I said I will live on my own and not rely on my family, so don't try to persuade me!" Sirius vowed to his younger brother Regulus, with a rebellious look on his face, "You should care about yourself. Rael, I really don’t know how that suffocating home bewitched you..."

Regulus pursed his lips into a straight line, took a deep breath, tightened and unclenched the hands hanging by his sides, trying hard to tell himself that this was his brother, and organized his words to speak.

"Sirius, I admire your courage. You must know that leaving the family is not just a talk... Stop making trouble, mother is making a clan emblem for you..."

"Clan emblem?" Sirius heard this word and looked at his brother in disbelief, with an indescribable emotion in his eyes, "I've heard about it all, Rael, and the entertainment tabloids have reported it countless times, Black The head of the family was hysterical and madly cursing his eldest son! Don’t joke with me about this kind of thing..."

"Sirius, my father and mother miss you very much. I don't believe you don't know. This is all done for the sake of balance..." (It's just a political measure.) Regulus was interrupted before he finished speaking.

"Enough, Regulus, it is a fact that they are crazy. There are always a few people who will inherit the Black family's madness," Sirius waved his hand impatiently, his gray eyes that were always smiling were full of reproach at this time. , "I will not go back. I am used to living a free life without having to bear inexplicable burdens. You should also leave quickly, otherwise you may be the next one to go crazy."

"And I'm so happy now, which you can't possibly experience."

After Sirius said this, he stared at his brother for one last time, and then left without looking back.

Regulus looked at the back of his brother who decided to leave, slurring his lips, and finally slowly exhaled a breath, stood there for a while, and then walked back to the castle.

The distance between brothers is getting closer, but the distance between hearts is getting farther and farther.

A person never knows what he has given up, and he will never have anyone to tell him about his hardships.

The fireplace in the Slytherin common room is burning all year round. The warm firelight shines on Regulus who has returned from an outing, melting the snow in his hair, making him look like an abandoned person. The puppy looked extremely pitiful.

He was thinking about things in his mind and strode towards the dormitory.

Occasionally, a little snake passing by looked at it curiously, but the next moment it was frightened by the piercing eyes that glanced at it, it retracted its head and waited until the person was far away before daring to whisper to its friends.

Severus was lying on the sofa with a book about the history of magic. The boring content made him want to sleep, but he had to cheer up in order to learn the words and sentences in it.

Regulus opened the door and saw someone looking lazy. A certain string in his heart was plucked, and his eyes became sour.

Seeing that Severus didn't seem to notice him, he quietly closed the door, approached the sofa, and called softly, "Severus..."

Severus stopped turning the book, raised his eyelids, and found Regulus with wet hair. His whole person exuded a sad aura, and his gray eyes seemed to be soaked with water. General, aggrieved and sad.

"Regulus, what's wrong with you..." He closed the book and sat up, shifting his body uncomfortably. Before he could ask anything, he was hugged, and the force was so strong that he almost couldn't breathe. .

Severus nudged the thin but powerful arm. He could tell that Regulus was in a bad mood, but the sudden touch made him uncomfortable.

"Severus, tell me, how wonderful it would be if you were my brother..." Regulus felt depressed and his voice was sour. Even he knew that the words he said were fantasy, but he still couldn't bear it. Keep talking.

"Why is he always reckless...Severus, I'm so tired..."

Severus opened his mouth, felt the moisture on his shoulders, sighed inwardly, and gently patted the stubborn boy's back with both hands. He didn't know what kind of grievance he had suffered, and he couldn't say any warm and comforting words.

Moreover, it is best to save face when you are a teenager. If you are exposed in person, you may become angry and angry.

The room was quiet, except for the powerful "dong-dong" heartbeat in my ears.

Regulus was sad at first, but after hugging Severus and being gently patted on the back by Severus, his sadness turned into a desire for tenderness.

What you can't get when you are young will eventually trap you for the rest of your life.

At this time, Regulus naively thought that he was really just like Miss Carlo said, just treating someone as a brother, craving for warmth but afraid of the sun.

In the end, he didn't reveal what he was thinking, and ran into the bathroom in a panic to wash up to cover his red and swollen eyes.

Severus sighed and didn't ask any more questions.

Time passed quietly like water, and the snow in Hogsmeade Village became thicker and thicker.

After the quarrel with Regulus, Sirius seemed to let himself go. In conversations with his good brother Potter, he always expressed his opinions loudly about the Death Eaters led by Voldemort, saying that they were all a bunch of rabble. , is an existence that cannot be seen in the light.

He spoke energetically and pointed passionately; Potter and Lupine occasionally echoed, and some ignorant little lions around them howled in support. If a Death Eater was in front of them, they would rush forward and kill them. To show your bravery.

Peter Pettigrew hid in the corner of the crowd and watched with squinted eyes, dark thoughts in his heart kept popping up. If he...

Before his thoughts could be sorted out, he was distracted by Lupin's call in the next moment. Peter Pettigrew could only pick up the book and follow the team.

Reading newspapers every day is a way for young wizards to obtain information about the outside world at school. After reading the newspapers, a piece of news spreads in various houses, and even the least concerned Hufflepuff knows about it.

Sirius Black, as the eldest son of the family and the original future heir of the Black family, was published in the newspapers because of a news about severing ties. He was expelled from the Black family because of his deviance and rebellion from Slytherin, denying that he was a member of the Black family. A member of the family, and deprived of his right to inherit property and the right to name his family name, he is now an 'orphan' without a father, mother, or foundation.

The sender was clearly his father, Orion Black.

In the library, the little wizards are busy writing in order to cope with their homework.

Sirius was stunned for a moment after getting the newspaper, and then he threw it aside carelessly. He knew that it had something to do with Regulus' tip, and besides, he was happy to be removed from the list, so that there would be no short-sightedness. people came to him again.

"Sirius, does this really not matter? That is the family that has raised your parents and your life for more than ten years..." Peter Pettigrew took a sip of pumpkin juice and asked timidly. He really didn't expect that the Black family really The person will be removed directly, and even the rich and powerful families will not want him. I don’t know what Sirius is thinking.

"How could they do this? It's so cold..." Potter banged the table with his hands angrily, causing pen and ink to fly everywhere, staining the table and books. The commotion was quite big, and he didn't realize it, sitting on his The surrounding lion cubs moved further away.

"Yes, Sirius..." Lupine also looked at Sirius with concern and asked. He had a gut feeling that this was wrong, but he didn't know where to start.

Sirius waved his hands indifferently. He didn't value money or anything else. He didn't care at all.

"It's okay, I still have you, my good brothers!"

Sirius grinned, and many little witches were attracted by his handsome appearance. After a brief period of trance, they were brought back to reality by the heavy schoolwork.

Potter carelessly patted Sirius on the shoulder and nodded vigorously, "Yeah, good brother!"

Lupine frowned slightly and sighed as he looked at the two innocent young men. He was very lucky to be able to come to Hogwarts to study. He couldn't ask for anything else. He just hoped that everyone would be safe.

Peter Pettigrew nodded in agreement, his slightly lowered eyes full of reluctance, and veins popped out on the back of his hand that was covered by the cuffs, and he almost smashed the parchment in his hand when he poked it with such force.

'Why! Why! What you want is thrown away by others! If I had such a good family and so much money...'

Peter Pettigrew gritted his back teeth, opened the crumpled parchment on the table, picked up the quill and copied the information letter by letter.

'One day... there will be one day...'

He secretly vowed in his heart that he would climb up step by step so that they would never look down on him again! ,

The joys and sorrows of people are not the same as each other. The small group of four people maintains a superficial harmony, but will fall apart at just one opportunity.

Thick window curtains covered the bright glass, and the heavy snow bent the thick branches. The howling wind swept through the crowd with the ringing of the bell tower and blew towards the centaurs patrolling the Forbidden Forest.

When everything was silent, the stars in the night sky of Hogwarts School shone brightly. As a few stars lit up, the light of the stars around it seemed to be sucked away by it, making it extremely dim.

The centaur Firenze looked up at the starry sky with a bow and arrow in hand, frowning slightly and thinking about something. The next moment, he came to his senses at the call of his companions. After completing the night patrol, he returned to his residence and took a pen to record the changes in the stars.
