Dogs are loyal animals, and this cognition is the same whether it is in the Muggle world or in the wizarding world.

So when Sirius Black found out that his Animagus was a dog as big as a bear, he was actually a little smug.The teenage Sirius loves anything that separates him from the Black family, and the "stupid" one of loyalty is certainly not among the qualities that the Black family values.

Before this, Sirius' life was very irritating every day.The family's sudden change of attitude after entering Gryffindor made him eager to draw a line with the Black family.But whether it was the way of thinking, the face he saw in the mirror, or even the name he wrote when signing, he was still closely entangled with the Black family.

But after learning the Animagus, everything seemed to change for the better.

"Choose a nickname, James, how about calling you Prongs?" One afternoon after learning the Animagus, Sirius was lazily lying on the lawn, holding a grass stalk in his mouth boredly. , squinting to the sky, proposed to his best friend lying beside him. "Your Animagus is a stag."

At that time, he was just looking for an interesting topic. He knew that James had been depressed recently because of Jody.It was a secluded place, and he would have tried to persuade James here, as James had done when he had a falling out with Regulus, but then he found that he would never be able to do that.

"What about you?" James kept teasing him about it, ever since he determined Sirius' Animagus was a dog. "Padfoot?"

"Okay." Sirius agreed happily.Anyway, as long as it has nothing to do with Black, it can be called anything.

"Then Remus is Moony... Poor Moony, think of his little furry problem!" James cheered at the subject.

Sirius' elegant mouth corners were as mean as ever: "Peter is Wormtail."

"We can also add these names to the Marauder's Map as a signature, and then inject a piece of our thoughts into it like the Sorting Hat..." The Marauder's Map was a vision James had before, and the fifth graders finally had the ability to put This vision has been translated into practical action.

This topic gave the two teenagers a good pastime in a dull and boring afternoon. It wasn't until James went to Quidditch training in a happy mood that Sirius fell into that boring boredom again.

It was easy to meet Regulus on the Quidditch pitch, and Sirius would rather be alone in a daze like this.After James and Jody's falling out, one more thing that bothered Sirius was that he never had a chance to hear about Regulus at school.He knew his brother was flying well, and Regulus was clearly more enthusiastic about the game than he was indifferent, which was one of the key factors in winning any competitive game.But with James around, Slytherin has no chance of winning the Quidditch Cup.Although Gryffindor's Seekers are not as good as Rael at all, if he loses the game like this, Rael will definitely feel very disappointed...

He was troubled by the chaotic thoughts in his brain, sighed deeply, and couldn't help but turned into a big black dog.In the state of Animagus, he feels that his brain can be relatively simple, and he won't think too much so that he feels like his head is about to explode.After learning the Animagus, it wasn't the first time he used this method to get rid of troubles, but this time, he didn't pay attention to whether there were people around.

The big black dog stood up and walked towards the Forbidden Forest.After only two steps, the instinct of animals made his ears twitch unconsciously.He turned his head and immediately stood there stiffly.

The girl sitting against the trunk behind the big tree was looking at him with curious and probing eyes.When he turned his head, the girl who was sitting there reading stood up, walked in front of him, bent over and stroked the black dog's head. "I didn't know you actually learned Animagus Transformation."

Her voice is not the same as before, Sirius thought.She used to be more excitable, with a touch of restraint, and though not pretty, was still lovely.Her hair was also cut short, and she used to have long hair, long gray hair, braided, not pretty, but cute.

Sirius knew this girl, or rather, he knew all the girls in the whole grade.Amelia Bones was no exception, and just a year earlier she had been his partner at the Yule Ball.

Of course, their relationship was much more than that, she was also his first girlfriend and his...first kiss.But that was all in the past, and about two months after that dance, they broke up.

Sirius knew it was a matter of time, he didn't like this girl and accepted her at the Yule Ball only because he didn't have a better choice.

Compared with other girls, Sirius still remembers Amelia Bones's too direct eyes.When James laughed at him for not having a dance partner, he proudly raised his eyebrows at the partners around him, walked up to Amelia and asked, "Why do you always look at me?"

Amelia wasn't a pretty girl, but she was the best Hufflepuff and seemed indifferent to the ball.But Sirius noticed very keenly that she just concealed it better than other girls, and her clever mind made her look less stupid than those girls whose brains were only filled with hormones.

"I, I just want to be friends with you." Amelia's face flushed quickly, and she tried her best to restrain her emotions.Yes, she wasn't lying, of course she wanted to be friends with Sirius Black, and what girl at Hogwarts wouldn't want to be friends with the Slytherins?

Sirius fiddled with his hair on purpose, this was just his habit, but he knew that this movement was so elegant and charming to girls.Sirius looked at the girl in front of him who was desperately suppressing his excitement, and showed a charming smile: "Of course, I will not refuse to meet a new friend. You should know that I am a person who likes to make friends."

"Yes." Amelia's voice was a little trembling, but she restrained it quickly and well, "Everyone knows that Potter and Black always have a lot of friends, as long as they are not evil, even Even a coward can be your friend."

She showed a sincere smile: "I always thought that only Hufflepuffs could be so tolerant."

Surprise flashed in Sirius' gray eyes.He didn't want to invite a girl who only knew how to pose as a dance partner, but Amelia in front of him seemed to confirm that Hufflepuffs were not as bad in their minds as he thought.She has more skill at expressing it than the girls who just admire his face.He didn't like Peter's character, but in any case, Peter had never been exposed to black magic and would not turn to Death Eaters, so he was willing to accept such a friend as his companion.

It took Sirius a long time to realize that his way of thinking at that time was actually not really different in essence from his parents.He just chose a position that was completely different from his parents to express his attitude, and then only recognized people who had the same views as him - how is this different from the Black family's paranoid insistence on pure blood in essence?

But at that time, Sirius just felt the pleasure of being understood. This was the second time he experienced this feeling after meeting James, so he didn't care about the envious eyes of other girls, and said loudly: "Then, Would you like to be my dance partner for Christmas?"

"I'm very happy." Without any shy hesitation, Amelia replied simply, as if she didn't want to miss this opportunity.

But Sirius was distracted at the ball.He admitted that today he was more curious about the development of James and Lily than the dance partner in front of him.It wasn't until Amelia reminded him for the third time that he should pay more attention to his own dance partner that he finally focused on the girl with whom he had danced twice.

Amelia has wider shoulders than the other girls, which makes her look a bit chunky in her school gown.But after changing into a dress robe, her broad shoulders set off her slender waist, which instead made her show a mature charm that girls of the same age did not have.

A strange feeling struck the heart of the hormonal boy, and he suddenly became devoted and enthusiastic about the dance. When the melody of the last dance song ended and the lights in the auditorium went out, he kissed the girl.

Like many dance partners at the ball, they became a couple in such a muddle.Their romantic relationship lasted until Amelia finally couldn't bear Sirius to hang out with friends even on a date and offered to break up.

Since then, Sirius has never been alone with Amelia.She is as smart and studious as Lily, and her character is more straightforward and decisive than Lily. When they broke up, she didn't cry like other girls and angrily curse Sirius for being so heartless and ungrateful.

None of the girlfriends Sirius had since then broke up with him as calmly as Amelia.They cried and screamed, and even if they broke up on their own initiative, they would accuse Sirius of "not loving them enough", "fairy", and "thin".

Whenever this happened, Sirius would always think of the way Amelia looked at him when he left.Sometimes he even thinks, is it the special she who likes him more, or those girls who are crying and resentful towards him like him more?

But Sirius will never forget that only Amelia Burns blamed him when they broke up - "You never take a good look at yourself."

——Of course, this is a secret that even James doesn't know, and that only belongs to Sirius.

Although Amelia was very calm at the time, Sirius believed that she was probably as angry as the girls who cursed him.It took him a long time to understand that the feeling in his heart at that time should be called apology.

Now, Amelia seems to have a good chance for revenge - she's found out that he's an outlaw Animagus.Of course, this matter is not irreversible. He can still go to Professor McGonagall, say that he has just learned it, and then register according to the law.However, that was clearly not the solution Sirius was willing to adopt.

If they registered, those great ideas and adventures of him and James, such as finding out all the secret passages of Hogwarts, such as the plan to accompany the moon face to gallop under the moon, may never be realized.

But when he was a dog, he seemed to be really dulled.Amelia stroked the black dog's head in a good mood, and the comfortable feeling made him want to make a happy sound from his throat.

Before being completely humiliated, Sirius took a big step back decisively, and then turned into the original handsome boy in front of Amelia.

Amelia straightened up, with an admiring smile on her face: "I think there are very few wizards who can learn to become an Animagus in the fifth grade in private. This is really a remarkable achievement."

"Yeah..." Sirius wasn't particularly proud of Amelia's compliment.On the contrary, he seemed a little anxious.He looked at Amelia, hesitantly: "If possible, I hope..."

"Keeping a secret for you? I will." There was a flash of understanding in Amelia's eyes.

Her answer was too blunt, so blunt that Sirius swallowed back all the words he had prepared to persuade her.

"You should believe that Hufflepuffs have always been as loyal as your Animagus." Seeing Sirius' stunned look, Amelia smiled happily, "Then, goodbye, Sirius."

At that time, it never occurred to Sirius that Amelia had actually kept this secret from him until they met again in the courtroom.
