It's like the instinct of a small animal. When it encounters danger and sadness, it rolls itself into a ball, and when it's happy, it stretches its body and jumps around the world.

At this moment, Cyril obviously feels more comfortable in the animal state.

Snape unbuttoned his coat, stuffed the little fox in, and wrapped the coat around him.

"Severus, why don't you send Cyril back first." Dumbledore said worriedly.

"It's okay, he followed me." Snape picked up the clothes on the ground and put them away.

The group continued to move forward.

Finally reached the extension of the cave.Sirius regained his human form and stood beside Kreacher.

The waves rolled behind him, the sky was getting darker, the clouds were low, and there was a faint tendency to rain.

This kind of weather made the mood of those present even more depressing.

Sirius glanced back, just in time to see the bulging little bag and the faintly protruding white pointed ears in front of Snape, and the boy named McClane was gone.

Snape obviously treasured the fox very much, he didn't let it see any rain or wind, his robe was scraped and rattled, but his hands only covered the little guy on his chest.

The big black dog couldn't help being a little curious.

"What, he's an Animagus too? Is he uncomfortable?" Sirius asked.

Snape glanced at him expressionlessly, and pulled the two skirts of his robe to the middle, covering the protruding furry ears.Then turned away.

"..."

Sirius turned around angrily, and slapped himself three big mouths inwardly.

Tell you to talk too much!

What are you doing with them!

Make fun of yourself!

The sea breeze is still whistling, and the salty smell blows to the face.

Sirius turned around just in time to see Dumbledore whispering to Kreacher.

"is it here?"

"Yes, it is here. Go forward here, follow the stone wall, and there will be a sealed place in the middle, where..."

"Okay, then let's get ready and set off immediately!"

Sirius followed Kreacher the elf and the Headmaster silently in front, and Snape walked behind with his animal student in his arms.

The stone walls on both sides of the cave became narrower and darker, and from time to time, biting cold water dripped on his face.

Sirius's heart was getting heavier and heavier.

My own younger brother, Leier, once walked through such a terrifying cave alone, step by step, facing death fearlessly.

Thinking of the letter I got from Snape...

The papers that may be thick or thin, some gorgeous and some messy handwriting, are all letters written by Rael to his family.

He still remembers his feelings from numbness and disdain to shock when he opened the first letter.

Sirius: Zhanxinjia.

This may be my last letter, or a soliloquy.

I made the right choice for the Black family and I have no regrets.

Please live well, after all, you will always be the best person in my eyes.

I hope that my choice can bring the rest of the people eternal peace, or even fight for a chance of happiness.

Brother, you always teach me that boys should be responsible. I used to ask you what responsibility is.I think I finally get it.

I will defend and protect you with my life.

I wish happiness.

Yours forever, Rael.

PS I sent all the letters I wrote to Owl Post for one year and handed them over to a trustworthy senior.Maybe he has a chance to deliver it to you for me.

I do this...

Just hope that even once, you'll be proud of me.

"

"Sirius, I have discovered something extraordinary.

I think I probably know what I should do.

Give me some courage, brother. "

"Sirius, I'm beginning to doubt whether my father's decision is correct.

I think something is wrong with that person.

I don't know what to do, and I don't dare to resist. If you were here, you would definitely laugh at my cowardice again!

Sometimes I think, what would my brother do if he was here?

He must not be like me, right?

what should I do?

Rael. "

"Sirius, I'm a devil.

The Muggle was still a child. "

"Sirius, he asked me to kill someone."

"Sirius, I went to take a sneak peek at you today, from a distance.

I don't think you've ever smiled so happily at home, don't come back, I don't think they'll let you go even if I get marked.

It suddenly occurred to me that Mom was right to burn you off the tapestry, leave the Black family, at least you're free.

I probably won't try to send you a letter again.

I'll just keep a diary.

Bless you my brother, stay away from the Black family forever.

Regulus Black. "

"Sirius, I've been marked."

"Sirius, my father will take me to see that lord tomorrow. I think you probably won't be able to read this letter anyway, so I don't want to hide my fear. Actually, I'm a little afraid of that person. I saw it from a distance last time." Once, I thought he was... powerful, terrifyingly powerful.

Now it's 3am and I'm too nervous to sleep.

Rael. "

"Siris, you liar, you told me the day you left home that you would come back to me when you figured it out!

You left me!It never occurred to you that you would come back.You refused even my letter!

"

"Sirius, Zhan Xinjia.

I called you in the corridor on the first day of school, why didn't you respond?Are you still angry with your family?It looks like you had a good summer vacation.I think you should have received the letter from Hogwarts, right?

Yours forever, Rael. "

"Sirius, Zhan Xinjia.

I have the vault key returned by the owl, and the last letter.

Is it not convenient for you to receive letters?It's okay, I'll still keep the owl with you.

By the way, father went to that grown-up's party today.

Father said that he is the one who can lead Slytherin back to glory. If Slytherin is no longer as good and bad as it is now, maybe you will go home!

Yours forever, Rael. "

"Sirius: Zhanxinjia.

Mom won't let us talk about you, but I think she's just mad.

Don't be too sad, stay at your friend's house for a few days first, and come back after she puts out the fire.

I'm sending you my vault key because I heard mom froze your vault.

I asked Kreacher to clean your room every day, I guess you just ran away from home for a few days this time, waiting for you to come back.

Yours forever, Rael. "

The letters were placed backwards, and the first letter Sirius opened was his brother's last letter.

Opening each letter one by one, Sirius read it up and down. He felt that every word Rael wrote was like a nail, nailed to his own flesh, and the flesh and blood were separated.

He couldn't quite remember a time when he had calmly spoken to Rael face to face.

I just remember that suddenly at a certain point in time, my once thin and inconspicuous younger brother suddenly appeared in front of me, growing taller, angular, and I didn't even recognize him.

Rael looks like his mother, and also has the typical Black family characteristics-black hair and gray eyes.

He looks more delicate and feminine. When playing with a group of people when he was a child, the friends around him once laughed and said that Sirius always had a little tail behind him, just like a little sister.

When he was a child, Rael was always a little afraid of the games that Sirius liked to play before going to school, such as hide-and-seek in the broken houses in the backstreets, and hunting ghouls in the basement...Xiao Xiao followed behind him, tugging at the corner of his clothes. Ken leaves again tearful and terrified.

At that time, Sirius thought it was troublesome, and often found reasons to leave his younger brother at home alone, and went out by himself to recruit cats and dogs, and go to the house to expose tiles.

And before going home, sometimes conscience finds that he remembers to bring a handful of Honeydukes for his younger brother--Mum Walburga always won't let them eat more of these.But Uncle Alphad had a preference for him and secretly gave him Segalon.

And then...then he went to school, went to Gryffindor, and successfully took his first steps in the life he wanted.

At that time, the whole family was blown up, and only Rael was still talking to him behind him when he came home from the holidays. When his parents were away, Rael would come to his side and ask what Hogwarts was like.

I had just hit it off with James at the time, and James' talent and personality were very much to my liking, and then I looked at my younger brother who seemed too shy and weak, comparing the two sides...

What did you say at that time?

"Rayle, you should act like a man and make your own decisions, don't always ask this and that, be responsible!"

Rael raised his head, opened his round gray eyes, and there was still this white and tender baby fat on his cheeks, and asked in a childlike voice, "Sirius, what is responsibility?"

Sirius was only an 11-year-old boy at that time, and he couldn't tell why.

He hesitated for a while, raised his chin and said, "Responsibility is something you have to experience for yourself. When you grow up, you will understand."

Leier finally grew up and finally understood, and then...

There would be no Rael in the world.

In fact, the one who really didn't take responsibility is myself...

He was very talented since he was a child, and his family had high hopes for him. His mother, Walburga, even said the phrase "Sirius will restore the glory of the Black family" every day for a period of time.

Before he understood what the glory of the Black family was, he was already tired of hearing this sentence.

He told himself repeatedly in his mind, no matter what the glory of the Black family was, he didn't want it!The farther away the better.

People in the Black family are very paranoid, and those who bleed Black's blood cannot avoid this family trait passed down in their blood.

Mother Walburga and father Orion paranoidly believe in the noble pureblood of the Black family, and Rael paranoidly maintains the family and his brother, Sirius himself.

How can you not be paranoid?

Paranoid about running away from Black.

Leyle could have been a noble young master with nothing to do. He didn't need much ability or good grades. He inherited the family business, just like his father's younger brother, Cygnus Black. A beautiful girl had several children.

(Signus Black - Uncle of Sirius and Regulus. Father of three sisters)

But I left at the most difficult time at home and left everything behind.

He remembered encountering a hesitant, Death Eater-clothed Rael in the backyard of a house during a scuffle with Death Eaters.Even though he was fully armed, he still recognized his brother's wand at a glance. What did he say at that time?

"Heh, you can't wait to kneel down and lick other people's robe corners before graduation? You Blake make me feel sick."

Leyle's face was covered by the mask, so he couldn't see the expression clearly.

That seemed to be the last time they spoke.

His one-sided dialogue.

……

Sirius stretched out his hand and lightly touched the stone wall in front of him.What is the mood of Rael walking on this road?

He was so timid when he was young, even the ghouls in the closet could scare him to tears, isn't he afraid of such a dark cave?

He died calmly like this...

Without even letting anyone know.

Everyone just thought that the youngest son of the Black family, the unremarkable one - Regulus Black suddenly disappeared.

……

"Here it is," said Dumbledore, sinking.

Ever since Kreacher entered this cave, it was as if he had pressed the mute button, occasionally letting out a low sob.

This is where Rael cut his arm, and sprinkled the noble and pure blood of Black on it... Sirius became very irritable when he thought that this stone wall had absorbed an unknown amount of Rael's blood.

"Severus?" Dumbledore held out his hand to Snape.

Sirius saw that Snape took out a space bag from his robe pocket with one hand, and then took out a chicken.

A live rooster.

The big black dog who was about to say "let me do the bloodletting!" silently shut his mouth.

"I'll give Hagrid a big thank you when I come back, and compensate him for a cage of chicks."

Principal Dumbledore stared at the "unconscious" big cock in his hand, and sighed softly.

"As a matter of fact, Mr. McLean has already done that. He gave Hagrid a cage of Mexican spit turkey chicks."

Snape said dryly, one of his hands was still firmly wrapped around the small bump on his chest.

Several people present have imagined the lively scene of Hogwarts flying turkeys across the lawn a few months later.

"Oh hehehe, what a considerate and good boy. Go back and remind me to add 30 points to Slytherin. The reason for the extra points... How about contributing to the school's breeding industry?"

Dumbledore blinked.

Snape slightly hooked the corners of his lips, but did not refuse.

Dumbledore turned around, cut an opening on the unconscious chicken, and spilled hot blood on the stone wall.

The stone wall is like a sponge, slowly absorbing all the blood on it, leaving no drop.Dumbledore had to cut another deeper wound, and a steady stream of blood spilled on the stone wall, and the stone wall kept absorbing it as if it would never be enough.

After a few minutes, the stone wall that was finally "satisfied" slowly cracked, revealing the real cave.
