[HP] just lover

After the letter was mailed, Vanessa went home and took a shower.

She wiped her hair with a towel as she headed to the bedroom. In fact, she could use a quick-drying spell to solve the damp hair, but always taking shortcuts would also reduce the joy of life.

Vanessa returned to the bedroom, glanced at the two-way mirror on the table, calculated the time, Sirius should have received the letter.

In fact, it was quite late now, Hogwarts had already had a curfew, so he would probably contact her tomorrow if it was soon.

Thinking of this, Vanessa sat on a chair, and there was a double-sided mirror on the table beside her.

She was still wiping her hair when she suddenly felt the double-sided mirror vibrate. She immediately reached for it, and the mirror was indeed hot.

The second she touched the mirror, Sirius' face appeared in the mirror. He was wearing an invisibility cloak, with one hand resting on his head and the other holding a double-sided mirror. The mirror was about his waist, and she couldn't see it very well. clear his face.

"Hey, I got your letter, I've..."

Sirius lowered his head and wanted to say something to her, but the scene in front of his eyes made him completely dazzled.

Vanessa just got out of the shower.

With a bath towel around his body and half-dry hair, even through the mirror, Sirius seemed to be able to feel the steaming heat.

Vanessa reacted quickly, directly buckled the double-sided mirror, pulled open the wardrobe angrily, put on a robe, tied her hair in a towel, and picked up the double-sided mirror again.

When Sirius' face appeared for the second time, the fifth grade boy had already calmed down.

"Next time you take a shower, change your clothes and look in the double-sided mirror." He said with a dark face, "Fortunately, it's me this time, and it's someone else next time, and you will be taken advantage of."

... Doesn't it take advantage of being seen by him?

Vanessa didn't bother with this, coughed and said, "I thought you would contact me tomorrow, so I was negligent. It's almost twelve o'clock now, don't you need to go back to the dormitory to rest?"

"There is a lot of rest time. Tomorrow morning is History of Magic. I just need to sleep in class." Sirius looked indifferent.

Vanessa hesitated: "But you have OWLs exam this year."

"I can pass that kind of test with my eyes closed. Okay, stop talking nonsense." Sirius looked out through the gap in the invisibility cloak, and after making sure that no one was there, he took off the invisibility cloak and put it aside. Vanessa said, "You said you wanted to find black magic books related to souls?"

Vanessa nodded and said, "Yes, but you have to be careful, there are some dangerous books in the Forbidden Books section of Hogwarts."

The expression on Sirius' handsome face changed strangely. After a while, he put the mirror on the bookshelf and raised his hand to show her: "I gave you the gloves, now it's my turn to use them."

Janna looked at him, a man wearing white lace protective gloves, and couldn't help but want to laugh a little, but she still held back when she met his warning eyes.

"Why are you looking for this kind of book?" Sirius whispered to her while flipping through the bookshelf, "Aren't you doing some dangerous research? If so, I won't help you." He frowned seriously Be like Professor McGonagall, "I won't let you get hurt because of me again."

He probably thought about Roxy.

Vanessa didn't plan to tell Sirius her conjecture, after all, the idea was too scary, Sirius was still so young, he shouldn't be exposed to such dangerous things.Furthermore, if that conjecture is true... Those who know the Dark Lord's secret will definitely end badly.Vanessa doesn't need to face him directly, she can hide in the dark, but Sirius is the heir of the Black family, who knows if his parents will take him to meet the Dark Lord?If you do see it, all you need is a Legilimency... everything is over.Even if Sirius knows Occlumency, what if?

It is safest for him to know nothing.

"It's nothing, I didn't do any dangerous research, but recently I met a patient whose soul was unstable after being attacked by black magic. I want to help him." Vanessa finished speaking half-truthfully, and quickly turned around. Topic, "Today is too late, you can come to the library tomorrow during the day, or before the curfew, I am worried about you now."

Sirius started flipping through the book again. He heard that she was doing it for the sake of the patients, so he no longer doubted it. He trusted her 100%, which made Vanessa feel very uncomfortable.

I don't want to cheat him, but it's for his own good, and that kind of weird contradiction is really uncomfortable.

"I told you I'm okay. You finally asked me for help. Of course, I will help you get things done as soon as possible." He put the double-sided mirror aside, and Vanessa could only see his figure constantly from this position. Flashing back and forth in the forbidden book area, she couldn't hear any more words.

She couldn't go to Hogwarts, and she couldn't go through the mirror to look for him there, she could only stay with him on the side of the mirror.

Vanessa can't tell what it feels like in her heart, she is always relaxed when she is with Sirius, she will not fail to feel his absolute focus and unreserved affection, she used to still have Lucius in her heart, Can't and shouldn't accept his feelings, but now...

It's different now.

She had already bid farewell to the past, and she didn't intend to look back, but...

"How about this one?" Sirius leaned in front of the mirror and pointed the text page of the book at Vanessa. Vanessa quickly read it, shook her head and said, "It's not this one."

Sirius shrugged, put the book back in its original place, and continued searching.

Vanessa looked at him and said softly, "It's so late, aren't you sleepy?"

Sirius subconsciously said: "Are you sleepy? It's okay, you can rest, I will call you when I find it."

Vanessa: "...I didn't mean that, I was afraid you would be sleepy."

Sirius said while he was busy: "Oh, then you are really worrying too much. Even if you don't ask me to help tonight, I will go out with James and the others to do something else." Tonight is the night of the full moon.

"If you have other things, you can go to yours first." Vanessa said, "I'm not in a hurry."

Sirius didn't even raise his head: "The three of them are here, but I'm the only one who can help you here."

Vanessa bit her lip, sat in front of the mirror, stared intently at the young man's slender figure, and said nothing.

Sirius stayed in the restricted area until the early hours of the morning.

At daybreak, when Vanessa couldn't bear to fall asleep, she suddenly heard Sirius' voice.

"Nissa, wake up."

Vanessa woke up immediately, rubbed her eyes and said, "I'm here."

Sirius didn't look tired at all. After all, he was a young man, and he often stayed up late to do small movements, which was much more resistant than Vanessa.

"I found this." He pointed the cover of the book to the mirror, and Vanessa saw the title clearly.

"Cutting-edge Dark Arts Decryption".

Sirius slowly opened the book, turned the page to the middle, and said in a low voice, "Look here. Although it is not related to the healing magic you are looking for, but..."

Vanessa focused on the words on the book, line by line, and Sirius thoughtfully helped her turn the pages.

Vanessa reads a word in a book.

Horcrux.

A magic that can store the soul of a wizard.

The black wizard created a Horcrux at the cost of tearing the soul, in order to achieve the goal of immortality.

"If you want to make a Horcrux, you must first split your soul." Sirius' melodious and deep voice slowly read the extremely evil words, "Wizards need to use special spells to make the soul split when performing evil things such as murder. Splitting. After peeling off a part of the soul, transfer it to an object, and this object is called a Horcrux."

Vanessa immediately said, "Stop reading, Sirius."

Sirius took a breath, and the hand holding the book was a little trembling: "I can't read it anymore if you don't tell me." He planned to throw the book on the shelf and continue looking for what Vanessa wanted, but that was actually what she wanted. need.

"Sirius." Vanessa stopped him, "Can you make a copy of that book for me? "Deciphering the Cutting-edge Dark Arts", besides the content just now, there should be other interesting things in it."

Sirius frowned: "But this book..."

"Please." Vanessa couldn't let him talk too much, and he couldn't let him ask questions, which would make her unable to resist telling everything.Facing Sirius' deep and serious gray eyes, she really couldn't hide anything.

"Okay." Sirius said with a sullen face, extremely reluctant, "This is the first time you have asked me to do something, of course I will not refuse you, but..." He emphasized, "After you get the copy , you must not indulge in the black magic in the book, I will go to your house to check during the Christmas holiday, understand?"

He was obviously four years younger than her, and still a boy in the fifth grade, but Sirius had a straight face, serious, like a parent.

Vanessa nodded slowly, and said to him, "Don't worry, you can destroy it directly at Christmas."

Sirius breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "Remember your promise, if I know you lied to me, you will die."

While scaring her, he cast a copy spell on the book, and soon, a copy of "Deciphering the Advanced Dark Arts" appeared in his hand, which looked completely the same.

"I'll send it to you tomorrow." Loughton, he said cautiously, "I will use the school's owl to decorate this book so that no one will find it."

Vanessa didn't doubt that he was there, she immediately responded, and then quickly said: "It's almost dawn, you go back to the dormitory, maybe you can sleep for a while."

"I'm not sleepy at all now." Sirius shrunk the copied book and stuffed it into his pocket, and said to her, "I will definitely help you find the book you want." He still wanted to continue.

Vanessa straightened her face: "You go back to the dormitory right now, what I'm looking for is not that important, and you will make me feel very sorry, Sirius, I beg you again."

... She must know that as long as she uses this kind of please tone, he will be helpless!

How else could it be so!

Sirius felt a bit of a toothache, reluctantly put on the invisibility cloak, frowned and said, "Okay then, I'll come back tomorrow night."

He was finally willing to go back.

Vanessa breathed a sigh of relief and accompanied him all the way back to the Gryffindor tower. They cut off the call when he was standing at the door of the dormitory.

Sirius carefully put the double-sided mirror into his pocket, making sure it was safe, before pushing open the bedroom door.

James and Peter came back long ago, and Remus still needed to rest for two days before returning to class. Sirius climbed into his bed lightly, and James woke up before he lay down.

"Ah, it's dawn."

Potter sat up, stretched himself, yawned and looked at Sirius, and asked in surprise, "You woke up so early today?"

Sirius sat there in embarrassment. He wanted to sleep for half an hour, but now it was over.

"Yes." He said with a half smile.

"What time did you come back last night?" Potter put on his shoes and got out of bed, walked to his bed and said, "It was past three o'clock when I fell asleep, and you haven't come back yet."

Sirius said vaguely: "I didn't pay attention, I fell asleep when I got back."

Potter nodded, and went to wash up first, Sirius sat there, not sleeping or not sleeping, he glanced at Peter who was still sleeping on the other bed, walked over and lifted the curtain, and said loudly: "Hey! Peter! Wake up! It's dawn!"

Peter woke up from his sleep and heaved a sigh of relief after seeing clearly that the person in front of him was Sirius. He blushed and said, "You scared me, Sirius."

Sirius hooked his lips, feeling much more relaxed.

Vanessa was absent-minded at work the next day. Mason's therapist thought she was unwell and handed over a lot of work to others. This made Vanessa even more free. What did she do in her spare time?Of course, she was just thinking wildly, so she became more and more preoccupied.

After finally getting off work at night, Vanessa returned home as quickly as possible, stood in front of the window on the second floor and waited for a long time. At around seven o'clock, she finally arrived at Sirius' owl.

Open the window, let the owl come in, take off the package and prepare food for it, and after it leaves after eating and drinking, Vanessa closes the window, draws the curtains tightly, carefully uses a lot of protective spells, and opens the package.

After receiving the book, she was not as anxious to read the contents as she was while waiting. Vanessa opened the package and didn't see the book directly, but saw the "dressing up" of the book by Sirius.

Or the gloves.

Vanessa picked up the glove with complicated emotions. It blocked the book, and if she didn't pick it up, she wouldn't be able to see what else was inside.

As soon as the glove was picked up, a card fell out. Vanessa picked it up and looked at it. There was a row of small characters written by Sirius on it.

"If you really don't want it, you can return it to me after reading the book."

She could almost imagine his stinky expression when he wrote this sentence.

If you borrow it and return it, it seems to be nothing.

Putting the gloves on, Vanessa carefully took out the copy of "Deciphering the Advanced Dark Arts" inside. Although it is a copy, it is basically the same as the original. This is the magic of magic.

The content of this book lives up to its title very well.

It's full of introductions to black magic that Vanessa couldn't even imagine.

Of course, it is just an introduction, and the specific operation steps are not detailed. In the book, a warning is written at the end of each page to remind readers to stay awake.

Vanessa doesn't have any dreams of immortality, she doesn't fear death, but obviously, some people do.

Voldemort.

Lord Voldemort

His name means - to fly away from death.

Vanessa turned the book to the page about horcruxes. Sirius had read a section about how to make horcruxes before, but it was not detailed.

Looking down, you can see a relatively comprehensive explanation.

Generally speaking, murder can indeed be used to split the soul, but murder itself is a very simple and common thing for dark wizards. They have no sense of right and wrong, and it is normal to kill people to achieve their goals.

It's not that just killing a person can split the soul. To achieve this goal, one must master the specific method of making Horcruxes and understand the complex ancient spell, and then intentionally, extremely cruelly, commit murder.

The main problem is still spells.

The spell is not mentioned in the book at all.

Vanessa closed the book with a headache that was about to burst. If the Dark Lord really split the soul, and that diary is a Horcrux... what about the snake with a similar breath?Will there be others?

The double-sided mirror at hand became hot, Vanessa came back to her senses, tapped the mirror, and Sirius' slightly troubled face appeared in it.

"What's wrong?" Vanessa asked.

Sirius is wearing an invisibility cloak, so he should be in the library.

"You would never have thought of what happened." Sirius said with a serious tone.

Vanessa froze and said, "What happened?"

Sirius frowned and told her: "That book, the one about Horcruxes I found here last night, is missing."

"It's gone?" Vanessa almost sat up in shock, "Why did it disappear? Didn't you just put it back?"

Sirius said a little irritably: "Yes, I came here today to confirm, but no matter how I searched, I couldn't find that book." He couldn't help but feel a little worried, "That book is so evil, if it is killed by a snot Such a wicked person sees..."

"Don't call others nicknames." Vanessa couldn't help correcting.

"Okay, okay, Snape." Sirius said with an ugly expression, "It would be terrible if he took it away."

Vanessa frowned and said, "It won't be Snape."

"Why are you so sure?" Sirius didn't understand.

Vanessa didn't know how to explain it, she just didn't think he was that bad, and he even helped her on the day of the Dark Lord's rally, you know, in that case he could take credit for it and report it directly to the Dark Lord She, the Dark Lord, would be very pleased.

"Let's not talk about this." Vanessa changed the subject, "Go back to the dormitory quickly, the restricted area is no longer safe, someone else found what I wanted in the hospital, and I don't need it for now. "

Sirius was startled: "Found it?"

"Yes." Vanessa said firmly.

"...Really." Sirius' expression changed a few times, as if he had noticed something, but he didn't seem to. After a while, he whispered, "Okay, I see, I'm going back now." He folded his hands With the mask closed, Vanessa couldn't see his face.

He should have gone back to the dormitory.

It must be so.

Vanessa couldn't sit still at home.

She felt that she had to think of a way quickly. The book definitely did not disappear without a reason.

She had to tell Lucius about it.

She ran to the cabinet, squatted down and found the double-sided mirror in the lowest drawer. Vanessa kept tapping the mirror, trying to contact Lucius.They are just friends at the moment, and she has sent him back the key to the study room in Malfoy Manor. Now there are only two ways to contact him. One is to write a letter, which is too slow and not secret enough. Vanessa doesn't want to If you choose, then there is only the second choice.

The double-sided mirror he sent.

This mirror is much more luxurious than the one Vanessa bought. It is also painted with gold rims and inlaid with precious stones. Just by looking at the mirror, one can tell who the owner is.

He may not receive the signal, maybe he has thrown the mirror somewhere and ignored it. Vanessa clicked on the mirror for a long time, but there was no response.

She is not much lost.

This is to be expected.

Vanessa let go of her hand, and was about to find another way to contact him. At this moment, the mirror burned.

Vanessa picked it up immediately and saw Lucius inside.

There was darkness behind him, wearing a black robe and a hood, she could only see his thin lips by the moonlight.

"Are you outside?" Vanessa was taken aback for a moment.

Lucius said in a cold voice: "Yes. What's the matter with you?"

Vanessa didn't think much about it, and immediately said, "Do you still remember what I told you before, I need to prove it again before I can tell you?"

Lucius answered after a while: "Why."

"I have the answer." She struggled for a moment, "but it might not be clear to you if I tell you this way, is it convenient for you to meet with me? It's best now." She emphasized a little, "very anxious."

Lucius was silent for a longer time this time, and when Vanessa was about to turn around in a hurry, he said, "You want to see me?"

Vanessa nodded and said, "Yes, I want to see you, right now, do you have time?"

Lucius raised the two-way mirror slightly so that she could see most of his face, and she swallowed all the words that came to her lips.

Lucius' face was extremely pale, and he was in a very bad state, as if he had been tortured. His long platinum-blond hair was hidden in the hood, and a few strands fell outside. The wind blew his light-blond hair, and he seemed to be Like falling down anytime.

"What's wrong with you?" Vanessa asked stiffly.

Lucius said lightly: "It's nothing, I just got punished, a few Cruciatus."

"..." There is no one who can punish him except the Dark Lord, Vanessa asked with a pale face, "Why?"

"Do you need a reason?" He stood in the night wind, "Whoever the Duke of Darkness wants to punish now depends on his mood, no reason is needed."

Vanessa looked at him and said, "Do you want to know why he is like this?"

Lucius frowned slightly: "What do you want to say."

"That's why I want to see you today, would you like to see me now?"

This time Lucius was silent for a longer time, he stood there with darkness behind him, Vanessa felt cold for him.

"I will look for you."

After a while, he said this, and then cut off the connection.

Vanessa immediately went downstairs with the book, and 2 minutes later, she met Lucius in the living room.

When Lucius appeared, he staggered unnaturally. He leaned on the table for support. Vanessa tried to help him, but finally withdrew her hand.Lucius glanced at her withdrawn hand, his gray-blue eyes darkened.

"You can talk now." He pulled out his chair and sat down, speaking in a soft tone.

Vanessa asked him, "Is the diary you showed me at Malfoy Manor still with Dumbledore?"

Lucius frowned, and slowly took off his hood. His long messy hair was draped over his shoulders, his thin and handsome face was bloodless, and he said in a daze, "Not here."

Vanessa was stunned: "Where is that?"

"Here I am." He raised his hand and pressed on his heart before continuing, "In my study. The Duke of Darkness may check it at any time. Dumbledore and I have reached an agreement to figure out what it is and how it is. Keep it with me before processing."

It turned out to be the case.

Vanessa opened the book in her hand, set it on the Horcrux page, and handed it to Lucius.

Lucius took it with his pale hand, looked down at a few words, and frowned tightly.

"I didn't go to Hogsmeade to seek death for no reason." Vanessa said, "I treated a wizard who was indirectly hit by the death curse in St. Mungo. His soul and body were almost separated, and it took Most of the soul stabilizers in the hospital survived. I have felt the smell of soul combined with black magic in him in that diary." She pointed to the book in Lucius's hand, "I suspect , that is a Horcrux."

Lucius directly turned the book upside down on the table.

His face was blue and white, and he said after a long time: "Your guess is groundless."

"On grounds," Vanessa said, "otherwise why would I take the risk? I've seen the Dark Lord, I'm a healer, and I bet St. Mungo's couldn't find anyone better than me. I feel , the aura of the Dark Lord is very close to what I felt in the patient. Of course, there are some differences between them. not on."

"Don't call him by his first name." Lucius resisted weakly.

"You have to face reality, Lucius, you are the one who needs to know this most. If Voldemort really made a Horcrux, maybe it's not just a diary." Vanessa said, "A black man as powerful as him A wizard, once he starts making horcruxes, he will never be satisfied with one or two. He should have quite a few horcruxes, which are placed in different places, and one of them will be given to you."

Lucius looked at her suddenly, stared at her for a long time, and suddenly asked her, "Where did you find this book?"

Vanessa was taken aback, and said, "The restricted area of ​​Hogwarts."

"You are a graduate, how did you get into Hogwarts? Or did you go to the restricted area?" Lucius frowned, "And you didn't alarm Dumbledore?"

Vanessa suddenly thought of something when he said that.

Sirius said the book disappeared the next day, she thought...

"Dumbledore!" Vanessa said quickly, grabbing Lucius' arm, "You have to see him, Lucius, he probably guessed Voldemort made a Horcrux when he saw the diary , I just didn’t tell you.” She looked at the book he held tightly in his hand, “The day after I found this book, the original version disappeared. It hasn’t been lost for so long. , I lost it after I found it, this matter may have something to do with Dumbledore."

Lucius sat there with a gloomy expression and didn't speak for a long time. Vanessa was anxious and wanted to urge him, but before she could speak, Lucius looked up at her and said, "You make me look like this now!" How about going to see Dumbledore?"

Vanessa choked.

"It's the biggest concession for me to see you like this." He said with dry lips, "I need to rest, I..." Before he could finish speaking, he fell backwards.

Vanessa stepped forward to support him.

She took out her wand, examined him, and suddenly realized that...

Maybe it wasn't as simple as "a few Cruciatus" as he said.

How many people can bear the Cruciatus Curse of the Dark Lord?Not to mention several in a row.

Lucius was really exhausted and passed out.

Vanessa closed her eyes and used the Levitation Charm to bring him to the second floor.

I don't know if he regretted choosing to follow Voldemort, but thinking about it, he has been involved with Voldemort since his father's generation, and he seems to have no choice whether to follow him or not.

None of them had a choice.

The author has something to say: I can almost break my hand while typing QAQ, it would be great if I could code words with my mind!

In addition, Sirius, if you treat Peter like this now, you will suffer a lot in the future!
