HP Polar Night

Agares hadn't seen Harry for several days, and the other party was deliberately avoiding him. Even if they were having dinner together in the auditorium, they would deliberately sit in a position with their backs facing away from Agares, and always Leave immediately after eating, without staying for a moment.

With the other party's obvious avoidance, it is not easy for Agares to directly hold him to ask clearly.

He had already insinuated from Hermione the reason why Harry's attitude changed so much. Although Hermione didn't say it explicitly, it was indeed related to his biological father.Sirius Black, once a close friend of Harry's father James Potter, later betrayed them to You-Know-Who.

If it was just this, Harry should have known that his father was a Death Eater. Harry didn't mind this before, why did he mind now?

Under Agares' questioning, although Hermione refused to say anything, she also leaked a few words.

The Potters were killed by a mysterious person because of Black's betrayal, that is to say, Black was the murderer who indirectly caused the death of Harry's parents, and it was the key.

The enemy's son - no wonder Harry was like that.But he was worthy of being the Harry Potter in his eyes. Facing the son of the enemy, he just avoided it by himself.As always, imprisoned in goodness and innocence...

In his eyes, once a kind and innocent person loses the value of being used, he also loses the meaning of existence.But Harry Potter is different. At least at this stage, his savior halo makes Agares have to get close to him and win his trust.A pure and kind savior is better than an ambitious savior.So even for his own benefit, Agares will help Harry maintain this pure goodness, and will not let these emergencies change the character and heart of the savior.

Thinking this way, Agares subconsciously ignored another possibility, something called "care".

If you just use it, why bother?How can it be affected emotionally?

During the Christmas break, Harry still stayed at school, he didn't want to go back to the Dursleys' house, so Hermione and Ron also stayed with him.He also heard Draco discussing with his followers that the Ministry of Magic thought that Agareth would help Sirius Black, so he was asked to stay at school during the Christmas holiday and not to go out.The safest place in the wizarding world is Hogwarts, and there is Dumbledore sitting here.The employees of the Ministry of Magic who thought so obviously ignored the fact that Black broke into the castle last time and attacked the portrait of the Gryffindor gatekeeper.Or maybe because Sirius Black had failed last time, they naturally assumed that they wouldn't succeed next time either.

Knowing that Agares would also stay in school, Harry had complicated emotions.

Since that day, he has been avoiding the other party, and every time Agares approached him, he turned away immediately.In fact, Harry had already calmed down from his anger when he first heard about Black's betrayal, but he still didn't dare to face Agares, or rather, he didn't know how to face him.

Harry knew that Agareth was himself, and even Sirius Black's biological son was a completely different individual from this person.The Agares he knows has a gentle personality and excellent grades, and he talks to him about everything, and is one of his best friends.

He once told Agares that he is him and his good friend.

But on that day, at that moment, when he saw Agares, an inexplicable emotion hit Harry.

After calming down, Harry realized what the emotions at that time represented.

Why are you that man's son?How can you be that man's son?

As if he had been greatly wronged, all he did was the blood relationship between Agares and that person.But this is not a choice for Agares himself.If given the chance to choose, presumably Agares would not want to be born in the Black family.The family never cared for him, and Agares never met a single Black until he was 11 years old.

It's a pity that God, or Merlin, didn't give them the chance to choose.

It’s Christmas, and even though I’ve been procrastinating for a long time and don’t want to go to the auditorium—even though there will be a very rich Christmas dinner tonight, all the students staying at school must appear at the dinner, which means that Agares will also be there. There—because everyone had to attend, Harry dawdled for a while, and was finally dragged to the dinner by Ron.

There were not many people staying in school, and everyone sat at the same long table.Seeing that there was no Agares on the long table, Harry couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief, followed by another burst of disappointment.

Hermione was a step ahead of them, having already sat down at the end of the long table, and was waving them over.

Agares came in shortly after they sat down, and with him was Sybill Trelawney, their divination professor.

In the eyes of most people, Trelawney is a magic stick, even famous for predicting the death of a student every year but never realizing it.Originally, Harry thought so too, if Agares hadn't told him that Trelawney had something special.Like Hermione, she fell out with Professor Trelawney directly after taking a few classes, and then never went to Divination again.

Trelawney was impressed by Harry, not because he was the savior, but because of the crystal ball he brought.Agareth's birthday present for Harry - from her ancestor Cassandra Trelawney.

It was also with this crystal ball that Trelawney made a prophecy to Harry.

"Darkness, child, I see you surrounded by darkness, from beginning to end, endless darkness. This will be a struggle destined to be hard, my child."

Although no death was predicted, Harry didn't like the prophecy either.When he saw his name in the history of magic, learned of the death of his parents and the existence of Voldemort, he had no doubt that he would fight against the greatest darkness in the wizarding world.But he firmly believes that they will succeed, they will!

Now suddenly recalling Trelawney's prophecy, darkness—Black, Harry's mood was in vain.

Agares also caught sight of Harry sitting at the end of the long table, sandwiched between the boy's other two friends.The other party still had his neck stuck, and even though Hermione kept bumping his arm with her elbow, he never looked this way.

"As I said, child," Trelawney continued the topic just now, "the third eye told me that you should give up, because you will not succeed."

The smile on his lips froze on his face, but for a moment, Agares returned to his original politeness. "I've got to try, Professor Trelawney. Sometimes things are done not to succeed, but not to fail."

Trelawney responded vaguely, as if she didn't quite understand.Fortunately, Dumbledore was getting up at this moment, interrupting their conversation. "It's a pleasure to see you all on Christmas night! Sybil, Agares, come on, take your seats." He used his wand to pull two chairs, on the other side of the long table, facing Harry and the others. .

Agares was about to sit down, but Trelawney suddenly counted how many people were at the table.

"Sybil?" Dumbledore sat back.

Trelawney adjusted her thick glasses and explained in her trademark slurred voice: "Oh, I'm counting the number of people at the table, it would be terrible if it happened to be thirteen, ten Three people eat together, the first one to stand up will die!" After she finished speaking, several students including Harry subconsciously counted the people on the long table.

There were exactly twelve people sitting at the table before Trelawney and Agares arrived, and fourteen after they arrived.

Trelawney obviously counted the number of people, so she sat down with peace of mind.

Agares sat down, facing Hermione, she smiled at him awkwardly, and couldn't help but stomped Harry's foot under the table.Harry almost cried out, his face contorted due to the presence of too many people.

"Hermione! Are you trying to trample me to death?" Harry complained in a low voice.

"Harry, I'm here for your own good. This occasion is just right, if you want to reconcile with Agares." In Hermione's view, the relationship between Harry and Agares was just an inexplicable cold war. Quarreled, but did not break up.And Harry's emotions in the past few days also showed that he actually didn't want to be estranged from Agares at all, maybe he just lacked an opportunity to reconcile with him.

Ron muttered to the side: "Harry doesn't want to make up with Black, there is no good thing in Slytherin." Even if Agareth Black is barely the worst kind, he is still a Slater Lin, he's still the kind who just grabs his best friend from him! "Ow!" He was stomped on by Hermione in the next second.God only knew how Hermione could tell exactly whose foot to step on under the invisible table.

"How can you do this, Harry, think about it, after you treated him like that, Agares gave you a Christmas present, and it was such an expensive one." Hermione was still insisting, Ron Harry snorted to show his disdain for the "expensive" Christmas present Harry received - in fact, when Harry opened the present, he pointed at the so-called fastest hand in the wizarding world. Salivating the broom for a long time, he urged Harry to lend it to him for fun.

That's fire!Fire!Live!

Harry started to struggle again.The Nimbus 2000 that Professor McGonagall gave him fell on the Whomping Willow and broke in two during the last Quidditch match. Harry was sad for a while, after all, it was the first and only one he owned. A flying broom carries a lot of meaning.He was also worried about what to do next in the Quidditch game. Without a good broom, he couldn't be called a good Seeker.

But at Christmas, he received this unsigned gift, a newly produced torch!

Since the one signed AB was not found among the gifts, they all guessed that the gift was given by Agares.Harry felt even more guilty - he hadn't sent the gift for Agares.

Agares didn't know this. After sitting down, he looked around at the people on the long table and asked, "Why isn't Professor Lupine here?" Dumbledore said, "I'm afraid he can't come, poor boy." , just fell ill at Christmas." Snape sneered, and when Agares looked at him, he returned a fierce stare.

Counting the date in his mind, Agares nodded knowingly and said nothing more.

The Christmas dinner started in an auspicious (ancient) and (weird) atmosphere. Except for Dumbledore who took the lead in telling a few jokes, most of the people focused on the food on their plates.The delicious food soothed everyone's hungry stomachs, and the atmosphere gradually became harmonious.Professor Flitwick and Agares were discussing his latest project on charms. Hermione was also asking other professors about their doubts about their studies. The other two first-year students were having a lively discussion about the food on the table. En also pulled Harry to chat about Quidditch.

The dinner lasted for almost two hours, until everyone was "full of wine and food", and finally the first person stood up——Professor Snape, who had endured the twittering all night.

Agares followed suit: “Merry Christmas, ladies and gentlemen.”

After he got to his feet, Hermione gave Harry another push and gestured with her eyes.Harry glanced at Agareth's back, and retracted his head very timidly, in exchange for Hermione's eyes that hated iron and steel.

After everyone left, Harry and the others moved towards the door with their belly full.

As soon as he walked out of the gate of the auditorium, he saw a figure leaning against the wall of the corridor.

The author has something to say:

Professor Trelawney's saying that "thirteen people get together, the first one to stand up and the first to die" has never failed once.First of all, the Christmas party in "The Prisoner", there were already thirteen people before Trelawney arrived-don't forget Wormtail in Ron's pocket.When Trelawney arrived, Dumbledore stood up to greet her.As a result, Dumbledore died first.Secondly, there were also 12 people in a party at 13 Grimmauld Place in "The Order of the Phoenix", and Sirius stood up first.Also, thirteen people in Deathly Hallows mourn Mad-Eye.Afterwards, Lupine stood up and proposed to find Mad-Eye's body.In the Battle of Hogwarts, Lupine died first.

Well, it can be seen from here that I have already placed an order for Professor Dumbledore's box lunch~
