Crossing into Regulus

Regulus received no other assignments after the task of recalling the members of the Order of the Phoenix was completed.

He, oh she, Riel, followed Lupine now.

Lupine did not express much opinion on this.

Think of it as taking Sirius' younger sister, anyway, now Regulus is not as interested in him as he was at the beginning.

Well, it's Riel.

Lupine read it silently.

Everything else is fine, although Riel loves to eat, play and spend money, but it is easier for her to find a job than Lupin, which is not a problem.

Trouble is Riel's obvious avoidance of Sirius.

Every time there was a letter from Sirius, Riel would politely walk away.

That appearance is completely respecting the privacy of the traveling companions, but they are Riel's elder brother, the only two members of the Black family, and they have an inseparable relationship between them.

What the hell was she being polite about?

Lupine had a very headache. He himself was a person who longed for family affection very much, so he couldn't understand Riel's thoughts at all.

But still followed Riel's wishes and never mentioned her in the letter.

Although she never said it.

After arriving at a new location, Lupine saw an opportune moment to ask Regulus a question.

The two found a job that hired them at the same time. The owner of the store did not reject werewolves, but instead raised their salaries because of their good-looking appearance.

After the first day of work, Lupine took Regulus to the outskirts of the village for about half an hour, and put her down on the lawn under the big tree.At this moment, Regulus was tired and hungry, his eyes were dull, and he looked easy to talk.

Lupine stuffed a candy bar into Rael's half-open mouth. "Rel?"

"Huh?" Regulus put the candy in his mouth, his eyes moved.

"Sirius took out 12 Grimmauld Place—your home—for the Order of the Phoenix to use as a stronghold, I think, I need to ask your opinion..." Lupine insisted on Regulus's aside With a face ignored, he spoke briefly.

Regulus continued to turn his head away.

Lupine sighed, "Rael."

"I have died, otherwise the right of inheritance would not be in his hands, so don't ask my opinion." Regulus said stiffly.

Lupine sighed even more heavily, "Riel, don't be like this, you're alive and doing well, please don't be like this?"

Not good at all, neither by the ex nor by me.

Regulus looked at the air and thought.

Lupine hesitated for a while and then said, "I'm sorry, I know you have suffered a lot, I shouldn't say that, but Sirius is your brother, this is an unchangeable fact, in the past you may have had some troubles because of some things. We disagreed, but now that you have come back to our side, the differences should no longer exist. I believe Sirius would be very happy to know that you are still alive. Sirius is indeed very negligent as an elder brother, but we have to step out. The first step in understanding, don't you think? I believe you are much more sensible than Sirius."

The gentle werewolf deliberately slowed down his tone, lowered his tone, and put his hand on the head of the girl whose back was facing him.

after awhile.

Regulus stood up, turned to face Lupine, and handed him a candy that was turning from blue to gray.Lupine hastily stood up to catch it.

"Try it, it says on the package that this candy will change according to the mood of the holder." Regulus watched Lupine put the candy into his mouth, "What flavor?"

Lupine closed his eyes and said, "Well, you're sad, Riel, I know..."

Regulus shook his head, "I just asked you what it smells like."

Lupine froze for a moment. "A little pepper, and lavender, and ice."

Regulus smiled.The smile was empty and indifferent, with a sense of worldly insight. Lupine was startled, and he stepped forward to grab Regulus' arm.

"I can't taste it." Regulus blinked his eyes to cover up his emotions, tilted his head and said, "I used to eat Mundungus' cakes, but I couldn't taste it, but judging by your expressions I know it's not very good, hehe, I'm very lucky." He raised his eyes as if recalling the situation at that time, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

Lupine didn't dare to speak, he didn't even dare to breathe hard, he felt that Regulus was going to say something hurtful.

"Actually, I did that with the determination to die, not because it was too difficult to complete, but because," Regulus' eyes fell on Lupin's stiff face, "—I I never thought about being alive."

"It has nothing to do with other things. I just don't want to live. It happened that there was such a chance that I could still do something, so I just did it." Regulus lifted the other hand that was not caught. Only one arm, use the index finger and thumb to show a little bit of meaning.

Then he looked maliciously at Lupine's face slowly turning pale, and felt very satisfied.In fact, in the minds of the teenagers at that time, the proportion of great ideals was more than that of seeking death, but it didn't matter, now the spokesperson was him, and he could say whatever he wanted.

Lupine shook his lips for a while, and finally said, "Rail, I, we, we're sorry..."

Regulus shook his head, "You are a good person, why do you have to apologize?"

Lupine tightened his grip on Regulus' hand, but he didn't seem to notice it.Regulus didn't remind him either, just looked at him with a smile.

"I—anyway, Rael," Lupine blinked and took a deep breath, "you're alive, and whatever it takes to win your heart back, please give us a chance, okay?"

Regulus opened his eyes as if thinking seriously, and then suddenly realized, "Then let me go first."

Suddenly, Lupine let go.

Regulus rolled up his sleeves to reveal his arm, which was bruised and purple.

You don't need to look any more to know Lupine's face. Regulus raised his hand to block Lupine's healing spell, and said with a smile, "Don't waste magic power, I don't feel much."

Well, Lupine turned pale again.

Regulus took two steps back, kept smiling, and grabbed a knife out of thin air in his hand, "There is one more thing you need to understand." He cut his arm with the knife.

Lupine could hardly stand.

Regulus waved his hand to comfort him, "Look, don't be afraid, there is no blood." He paused and said, "Based on a certain contract, I can't directly say what's going on with me now, but you should see Do you understand? So what you said, I am alive, this fundamental basis is not established."

Lupine was on the verge of falling, he backed up in panic and leaned against the tree so as not to fall to the ground. He shook his head, opened his mouth but couldn't speak.

Regulus looked at the poor werewolf, but his heart softened. He suppressed his smile and sighed, smoothing the wound, "As I said, you are a good person. That's why I'm the bad one. I made you feel bad." .”

All Lupine could say was "No."

Regulus approached Lupine, raised his arm to touch his head, and said seriously, "You're a good man, but there's no chance."

Regulus left Lupine.

It was not a pleasant experience for him to hit Lupine hard, he felt tired.

This is different from teasing little Malfoy. When he faced little Malfoy at that time, his emotions were completely detached and undisturbed, but this time when he said those words, he was also upset in his heart.If he could see his condition, he would find that it was not much different from Lupine.

So Lupine found him three days later.

Lupine really couldn't help himself at the time, but he also saw Regulus' appearance.

Then he understood that Regulus was not refusing, the child needed them.

After figuring this out, everything else was fine. Lupine was a good member of the Order of the Phoenix, and it was easy for him to find someone who didn't cover his tracks at all.

When Regulus saw Lupine again, he didn't turn around and run away immediately. He had thought about something in the past three days.

It's unfair for him to put his dark mood on the boy of his predecessor. In fact, his predecessor is still an ordinary child, so he shouldn't reject his family like this. His indignation as a bystander has crossed the line.

So we still have to reconcile.

Regulus sighed, looking at Lupine with a look of resignation on his face.

The latter grabbed his arm quickly, as if he would run away at any moment.

"I'm sorry, Riel."

"Well, I know, you are all sorry." Regulus perfunctory him.

"I'm sincere, Riel, you have to give us a chance, and we can find a way to help you get out of that contract."

"Uh..." Regulus blinked, deciding not to tell Lupine that it wasn't some devil's pact but Hermione's Secrecy Charm.
