HP Cronos

The activities of the Order of the Phoenix are still going on.

War is everywhere.

Although Sirius was puzzled by Dumbledore's request.He never knew that there were women other than his dear mother in Black's old house, but he chose to believe it.

As so many times before, Dumbledore's decisions were always right, no matter how shaky they seemed.

Dumbledore and Sirius discussed the time and plan to enter Black's old house.

Of course, for Sirius, things were not that troublesome.In his plan, meet Regulus and knock him down.Meet his mom, knock her out.Meet the annoying house elf and knock it down.If there are any other Death Eaters, kill them all.

He was already ready to die in a bloody battle with those cowards.

On the other side, Regulus and Nora were thinking about how to find the Potters.

"They live in Godric's Hollow," Regulus said. "Very Gryffindor choice."

"Why do you say that?"

"Because You-Know-Who is a frequent visitor to Godric's Hollow."

Nora forked a piece of beef: "What is he doing there?"

"No one knows." Regulus replied flatly.

"I suggest that we should contact Dumbledore first," said Nora. "With the two of us, we can't do anything. With his assistance—"

"Before we could contact him, the Death Eaters had already rushed in here." Regulus said coldly, "I don't think you know how tightly the surveillance outside is. The entire Ministry of Magic is in the hands of the mysterious man. No matter Whether it's the owl or the Floo network or the Portkey is all under the control of his people."

The plan once again reached an impasse.

"The Potters have escaped from under the nose of the mysterious man many times, and the mysterious man also wants to find them, so as to alert the Order of the Phoenix." Regulus said suddenly, "He wants me to find my brother—— Sirius Black , he has an extremely close relationship with the Potters."

"what do you mean--"

"It is very likely that he is the secret keeper of the Potters. Finding him means finding the Potters to some extent." Regulus said, "I have been inquiring about his whereabouts these days. Someone saw him He showed up in Godric's Hollow, and some people said that he once wandered around my house—if the Order of the Phoenix had any action against this place, he would definitely be the first to rush."

"Because he is familiar with this place?"

"Because he hates the family."

"Godric Gryffindor's birthplace will not be occupied by dark wizards." Lily Potter said so.

Sirius told no one of his and Dumbledore's plans, except his best friend, James, who was like a brother.He briefly recounted the incident in a casual tone while teasing Harry by the cradle.

"A woman? Was it hidden by the mysterious man in Black's old house?" James guessed.

"Who knows?" Sirius shrugged, "Maybe it's his mistress. You know my brother, he can do anything for the family."

It was a bit too much to discuss in front of Harry, even though he was only three months old.Lily gave him a reproachful look.She asked: "Let you go to Black's old house alone? What on earth is Dumbledore thinking? It's too dangerous!"

"Have we faced fewer dangers?" Sirius rubbed his hair.

"I mean we shouldn't take unnecessary risks—"

"Since you became a mother, you have become more and more... How should I put it, like Arthur Weasley's wife." Sirius muttered.

"What are you talking about, Sirius?" Lily asked, narrowing her eyes.There was a smile on James' lips.

"All right, all right, Sirius, stop making her angry on purpose." James said, "I thought you were the reason why Lily didn't like me for the past few years because I listened to your idea."

"What was his idea?" Lily asked.

"Secret," Sirius said lazily.

Harry giggled in his cradle.Sirius lifted him up.The child laughed even more happily.

Harry is a lovely kid.He doesn't hesitate to smile at everything in front of him.

"What an angel to have such a child," Sturgis Podmore once said.He was a member of the Order of the Phoenix, put an Oblivion Curse on his Muggle wife, sent her to take refuge in her native France, and then joined the war against Voldemort.

Sirius looked at the child in front of him.The hair and cheeks look exactly like James.Only the eyes, the same emerald eyes as Lily.

He thought of Dumbledore's meaningful words again.The old principal is good at everything, but he likes to make his words ambiguous, but makes you have to think according to his expectations.

"Not all Death Eaters are enemies, just as not all those who are fighting with us now are all comrades in arms."

At the same time, a small episode happened.

Sizing up the situation, Professor Slughorn, who taught potions, decided to retire early (not too early for his age).Before he left, Dumbledore realized the secret he had hidden in his own memory.Professor Slug, smarter than a fox, disappeared after hastily resigned.

The position of Professor of Potions at Hogwarts is temporarily vacant.This was the perfect opportunity to infiltrate Hogwarts, and the Dark Lord had sent a talented Death Eater to claim the position.

At this time, the young man named Severus Snape was ecstatic to be favored by the Dark Lord.He was convinced that he was one step closer to becoming a powerful wizard.

At the same time, the young prophet of the Trelawney family also decided to go to Hogwarts to apply for a professor.She was sure that Headmaster Dumbledore would agree, because she was carrying a crucial prophecy.

Nothing has changed.

Perhaps only the chapel in Godric's Hollow has changed.

"Maybe we can go to Godric's Hollow to guard." Nora said, "You are tracking Sirius. This is the task he sent you. It doesn't matter if he sees you."

"There are many members of the Order of the Phoenix lurking there, and the same number of Death Eaters are lurking there. You and I will be targeted as soon as we show up." Regulus vetoed this proposal, "The mysterious man has already begun to suspect me. If he sees you..."

"What if you see me?"

"The mysterious man was once married."

The glass in Nora's hand shattered, and the juice splashed all over her body.With a wave of his wand, Regulus restored everything to normal.

"Married? That mysterious man? You must be kidding me."

"Very few people know about it—his experience before he officially returned to England with that name that cannot be mentioned is a secret." Regulus said calmly, "He often goes to the church in Godric's Hollow. To see his wife's tombstone."

"His wife's name was 'Nora Gray.'"

After graduating, Nora became a broomstick designer. She has many whimsical ideas. Although many designs imitating Muggles have caused great controversy, they have also achieved considerable success.Such as the practice of installing magically powered jets on broomsticks to increase speed.

Of course, Mr. Tom Riddle has contributed a lot to making the finished product.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, the promising young man in the professor's eyes did not choose to serve in the Ministry of Magic or St. Mungo's.He disappeared after graduation, and only a handful of people know his exact job.

He works as a clerk at the Borgin-Blog Magic Shop in Knockturn Alley.The shop was well known in the wizarding underground for illegally reselling prohibited items.

Norah wasn't surprised, Tom had had a fascination with dark magic items since long ago.

Tom would come to sit and have a cup of tea in her apartment now and then.They chat about their jobs.Tom told her that he was still developing the small group from his school days.Nora just shrugged her shoulders after hearing this: "Malfoy, Black, Goyle, Crabbe... Are you organizing a Slytherin reunion?"

"There are also many people from other colleges, including Gryffindor." Riddle took a sip of black tea, "There are more radicals in the wizarding world than you think, Nora."

"I used to be a bitch wizard too," said Nora. "Are you going to kill people like me?"

"But you're not," said Riddle. "Think about it, Nora, the world has never been equal. Muggles are doomed from birth to be inferior to us, they can never learn magic, and we can freely Master what they have. If the world needs a leader, who better than us wizards?"

The only one who wants to control the world is you.Nora wanted to say that, but tired of debating, she held it back.

Nora could never argue against Riddle.He was studying the history and law of wizards and Muggles when he was studying, and he could get the best grades in Professor Spencer's boring History of Magic class.He could list a hundred reasons why wizards are more noble than Muggles.

But whether it is the glory of pure blood, or looking down on the prickly-blooded wizards, there is one thing that Nora and Riddle know: they will never be able to refuse fresh blood from Muggles, otherwise, in 30 years, any two young men and women will become relative.

Riddle had always discriminated against ordinary people in the past, and declared to Nora more than once that he was extraordinary.But his obsession with blood probably began the moment he discovered that his father was probably just a Muggle.

It was a very ordinary day.Tom Riddle came to visit with a bouquet of flowers.Nora put the flowers in a vase casually, and then they sat drinking black tea together, and Riddle said as if chatting, "Why don't we get married."

Nora put down the black tea cup and replied, "Okay."

Sooner or later, that day will come.They have known each other for many years, and many people have long regarded them as lovers by default, and even wondered why they didn't get married as soon as they graduated like other Hogwarts couples.

Even in terms of pedigree, Nora is the most suitable marriage partner for Riddle. Although she is not a pure-blood, the genealogy of those so-called pure-blood families does not know how much water has been mixed in.And today is sunny, just the right time.

They all had no relatives, and everything that followed seemed extremely simple.

The wedding was held in Godric's Hollow, with Professor Slughorn as witness.The magic made flowers fall from the sky continuously, and they exchanged rings and kisses in the presence of a few guests, and they were married.

"Why the tears, Nora?" Tom asked in her ear as they embraced.

"Maybe it's joy," Nora said. "I always feel like we spent Christmas together at my house yesterday."

"Every Christmas from now on, we will spend it together."
