Chapter 33
"Let's eat something."
Regulus squatted beside his brother, holding a plate in one hand and a fork in the other. On the plate was the steak he had cut.
Sirius glanced at him, he was very hungry, really hungry, he felt that he had no strength at all, not to mention running away, he couldn't speak.
But he didn't eat it.
He shook his head, pursed his lips and refused.
"Mother has given up forcing you to meet Miss Prewett." Regulus whispered, "You don't have to stand up like this anymore, eat something, you look bad." He was the same gray as him There was hidden worry in his eyes.
Sirius's lips were dry and peeling, he spoke hoarsely and weakly: "Then she gave up forcing me to get engaged to Prewett?"
Regulus closed his eyes and said nothing, Sirius forced a smile and said: "It seems not. Then you take these away. I don't think they will know that you brought these things. If they knew, they must You won't be allowed to do this." He tried to raise his hand and pushed his younger brother away, "Come on, don't you want to defy them like me? You are the most well-behaved little hero in their hearts."
If it was before, Regulus might be a little disgusted or displeased with Sirius' words.
But now he has no reaction.
Holding the plate stubbornly, he stared at Sirius and said, "Eat. Do you really want to starve to death?"
Sirius glanced lightly at the fragrant steak, his eyes were filled with gold stars, but he still refused to eat it.
"Reculus," he said, rarely in the mood to chat with him, "how was life as a Death Eater? Are you happy?"
Regulus showed some astonishment on his face, but he quickly returned to normal, frowning slightly and not speaking.
"If I don't tell you some things today, I may not have the chance to say them in the future." Sirius looked at his younger brother who is related by blood, "Do you think the Dark Lord is really a reliable leader? Do you think the Black family is really prospering?" Sirius tried his best to straighten up, approached Regulus, and whispered, "The answer is no." He suppressed his anger and said, "What I see is that everyone in the wizarding world is in danger, and everyone in the Dark Lord is shouting Shit, I see this home being taken over by those neurotic Death Eaters, that stinking bunch of people holding illegal assemblies every holiday - it's like a stronghold, not like a home, much less like your own The so-called oldest and noblest family." He said sarcastically, "I know you have always thought I was selfish, impulsive, reckless, and never considered for the family. You must hate me very much, hate me for throwing this mess to But have you ever thought about whether your choice is really correct." His voice was hoarse, as if he had exhausted all his strength, "Voldemort is a lunatic, have you seen enough of the things he did? Do you think he can lead the Black family to achieve their goal, to the top of glory?"
Regulus looked at Sirius in surprise, this was the first time the two brothers talked about this, he stared silently at his elder brother, neither agreeing nor refuting, just listening.
That alone was enough for Sirius.
"It's not that I don't want to take responsibility." Sirius frowned and said coldly, "Everyone thinks I'm evading responsibility, and everyone thinks I'm living a paranoid, self-centered life. But since I entered Gryffindor, That's my declaration of war on the future. I want our great and honorable parents to know that there's more than one way for the Blacks to go. The way to perpetuate pure blood glory isn't just going to extremes and killing Muggles. They don't understand, I think You won't understand either. Then, fundamentally, the same concept will never be there, and I have no other choice." He put his hand on Regulus' shoulder, and said for the first time as an elder brother, "Come on, my good brother, I hope you can really achieve your goal on this road. If we meet on the battlefield in the future, you don't need to be soft on me, and I won't show mercy to you." After finishing speaking, After he finished speaking, he leaned against the wall and said calmly, "Go out and take the food away. They think that this way can make me submit, then they are wrong, and I will never compromise."
Since Sirius started to speak, Regulus has been silent. At this moment, he squatted there and said slowly: "The reason why you are so resistant to getting engaged to Miss Prewett is because of that Vanessa Green Mademoiselle?"
Sirius had always been calm and self-possessed before, but when Regulus mentioned Vanessa's name, he suddenly became vigilant. He didn't know where the strength was, and he straightened up and pinched Regulus' collar again.
"What did you do to her?" Sirius asked him sullenly.
Regulus frowned and glanced at the collar that was pinched by him, slowly retreated to break free, and said to him: "I didn't do anything, I haven't even seen her since she graduated. "
Sirius stared at his younger brother coldly, Regulus slowly took out a few letters from the inside of his robe, handed them to Sirius and said, "All your letters have been intercepted, I found the letter from Kreacher. Miss Green's letters, I think you don't want your mother to find them."
Of course he didn't want to.
If Vanessa was exposed to Walburga and Orion's sight at this juncture, she would be torn to pieces.
Sirius quickly took Vanessa's letter, held it tightly in his hand, and pressed it into his arms.
He looked at Regulus with complicated eyes. Regulus stood up little by little in the subtle light, looked down at his brother who was completely opposite to him, and said after a long time: "It seems that we have nothing to talk about."
Sirius said in a hoarse voice, "We chose different paths, and I've finished what I can say."
Regulus seemed to be smiling, but he didn't seem to. He clenched his fists tightly under his robe and said after a long time, "I'm very glad that you are willing to tell me these things from your heart today."
Sirius lowered his eyes and remained silent. Regulus directly chanted the disappearing spell on the food, and said, "Since you don't want it, forget it. I hope you don't really starve to death, even if it's not for this home that is not worth remembering, but for The girl you like is very worried about you. Also, judging from your words, you should do something big in the near future, so before that, I say goodbye to you in advance and wish you a happy life, brother. "
After saying the last sentence, Regulus turned and left the confinement room without looking back.
After all, he and his brother took the completely opposite path, and they never really understood each other, whether it was in terms of family or relationship.They are two parallel lines extending in opposite directions. No one knows whether there will be a chance to meet together in the not-too-distant future.
At least for now, they don't think that's possible.
Regulus left, the confinement room fell into darkness again, Sirius' wand was confiscated, he couldn't use magic, there was no light, so he couldn't read the letter in his arms, he could only put Vanessa's letter in the In his breath, he seemed to be able to smell her scent.
It seemed that just like this, he also felt calmer and more sober.
What Sirius didn't expect was that the second time someone opened the door of the confinement room, it would be Lucius.
Lucius stood sideways at the door, the light came in from behind him, Sirius stared at him against the light, and for a moment he was like Merlin alive.
"Take your things."
Lucius threw a wand from above, and Sirius caught it immediately, looking at him with some surprise.
"And this." He walked in, the door was ajar, he knelt down close to him, opened a bottle of potion, and poured it into his mouth despite Sirius' objection.
"Drink it, Sirius Black, this is to replenish your strength. If you die here, think how sad Vanessa will be."
Sirius never thought that one day he would hear such words from Lucius. He looked at his former rival in disbelief, and Lucius stared at him mockingly with gray-blue eyes, and said to him: "Sometimes I really have to admire you."
Sirius frowned.
"You can do this in order not to get engaged to Miss Prewett. This is probably where I will never be as good as you." Lucius stood up slowly. He was born with a sickly pale skin and a handful of sincerity A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said indifferently and calmly, "If you really have a chance to be together, then...remember to treat her well. As for now..." He glanced outside the door and said coldly, "The Dark Lord is going to There is a rally at your house, you can go."
After finishing speaking, Lucius turned around and was about to leave. Sirius had recovered some strength after drinking the potion, so he stood up staggeringly, staring at his back and calling out to him.
"Malfoy." His voice was hoarse, still a little weak.
Lucius glanced back at him, his eyes so calm, as if he had just been talking about the weather.
"You gave up?" Sirius leaned against the wall and asked, his gray eyes lingering in thought.
Lucius just felt that the air around him was thin, as if a pair of hands had grabbed his throat, making him speechless.
But even so, he tried his best to open his mouth and said to Sirius: "Yes, I give up." He only felt a foul-smelling maggot eating his heart, piece by piece, the pain made his tear glands well up, but He forced himself to go back with perseverance, "I can't give her the life she wants, it's been so long—I've been forced to admit it." He looked back at Sirius, the gray-blue eyes accumulated deep and Intense feelings that will never erupt again, "I hope that you, who have made a completely different choice from me, can let her live the life she did."
Lucius finished the last word and left the confinement room without looking back.
He walked into the hall of Black's house. It was summer, but he felt very cold.
It was really cold.
Hands are cold.
The heart is also cold.
He always remembered that on the night he decided to give up Vanessa, he stood behind her house with the lights out in the snow for a long, long time.
Then he figured it out.
He can't do that.Just because he loves her, he can't drag her into his muddy and complicated world.He's also had enough of being on his knees in this relationship, constantly begging for a moment of warmth and sweetness.
Trust her too.
Maybe that's what's best for them.
Lucius was surprised to find that at this moment, he didn't even feel like crying at all.He thought, maybe when a person is really in pain, he can't shed tears.He only felt chills all over his body, his headache was about to split, his stomach was about to convulse, and the blood all over his body was rushing towards his heart. He wished he could insert a knife in it, as if that would relieve the pain.
Sirius left NO.12, Grimmauld Place.
He came to Vanessa's residence unknowingly.
Standing outside the door, his unusual clothes attracted the attention of many Muggles. He forced himself up the steps, stood in front of the closed door, and was about to raise his hand to knock on the door, when the door opened opened.
Sirius stared blankly, quietly looking at his beloved girl standing in the door, when his girl saw him, she first rubbed her eyes, as if she thought he was a fake.
After confirming that he was real, she immediately pulled him into the room.
Sirius was thrown onto her by inertia. Her delicate body could not resist the weight of a young man, but this time it was different.
Sirius was so thin that a gust of wind could blow him down, and when Vanessa hugged him, he felt like he was covered in bones.
"How did you make it look like this?"
She is not a fool, she can guess what happened to him, she finished speaking hoarsely, took his hand, and helped him upstairs.
"Come with me." She said softly, and he followed suit. Even if she gave him a death curse at this moment, he would stand up straight and accept it.
Vanessa asked Sirius to lie down on her bed, and she sat on the edge of the bed and asked him, "How did you get here?"
Sirius looked at her and said slowly, "I walked to the Leaky Cauldron, then went to Diagon Alley, and walked around before I came to you."
Even though his body was already like this, he still cautiously did not come directly. Vanessa got up with hot eyes and said, "Lie down for a while, and I'll get you something to eat."
Sirius nodded, leaned on her bed and closed his eyes wearily.
He was really tired, Lucius' potion was only enough for him to support his body to come here, and now he didn't even have the strength to speak.
Vanessa took one last look at him, went downstairs to prepare food, and took a few bottles of physical supplements in an instant.
When Sirius woke up again, he was woken up by a throbbing pain in his stomach.
He lay prone on the bed, clutching his stomach, retching as pale as paper.
Vanessa was waiting on the side. Seeing that he woke up, she immediately stepped forward and said, "Is it hard? You need to eat something, or your stomach can't take it. You haven't eaten for several days."
Sirius lay prone on the side of the bed, propped himself up in embarrassment, and subconsciously nodded.
After nodding, fearing that she might be worried, he hastily shook his head again.
Vanessa watched his changes silently, helped him to lie down, and began to feed him.
She cooked a lot of easy-to-digest food, which was very gentle and easy to eat. Sirius swallowed the food little by little under her care. She didn't let him eat too fast, worrying that he would hurt his stomach more because of eating too fast.
After finally chewing and eating slowly, Vanessa made him drink two more bottles of stamina supplements, plus a bottle of potion for stomach problems.
"Okay." After doing all this, she was finally willing to let him go mercifully, and he also felt much better than before. Although he was still far from alive and kicking, at least he could speak and express normally.
"You..." Vanessa pursed her lips, hesitated for a long time, and said, "What's wrong with you, I wrote you many letters, but you didn't reply any of them, I'm very worried."
Sirius looked at her, as long as he could look at her like this, he felt that everything he had encountered before was worth it.
"It's nothing." He brought up those experiences in one sentence, and wrote lightly, "Nothing happened, I just violated the family's decision and was locked up." His face was still a little pale, and he changed the subject and said, "You are busy How long has it been? What time is it? You didn't go to St. Mungo's today?"
Vanessa slowly sat down on the side of the bed, they were very close, because it was summer, Vanessa usually didn't wear wizard robes when she was at home, she only wore a comfortable and cool Muggle dress, Sirius didn't have the energy to pay attention to these, Looking at it now, I can't help but straighten my eyes.
Vanessa lowered her head slowly, and she saw that because of her sitting posture, most of her skirt was pressed under her legs, and a large area of skin was exposed on it. From Sirius' perspective, it was probably... all gone.
Vanessa didn't have any special reaction, and was about to adjust the hem of her skirt when she saw Sirius stretch out his hand towards her.
Or rather, reaching out to her thigh.
Vanessa's eyes dimmed, she stared intently at his hand, and for a moment, she thought he was going to touch her.
but.
Sirius' slender hands slowly landed on her skirt, helping her pull it up little by little.
Vanessa looked at him, and Sirius smiled at her, very boyish, and he patted her and said, "The skirt is too short."
Vanessa felt her heart burning, and couldn't help holding his hand.
Sirius was a little surprised, but quickly held her hand back. He tilted his head slightly and asked her, "Why are your hands so cold? You seem to have lost weight, are you too busy with work?"
How should I say this has a lot to do with worrying about him?He had been out of contact for more than a month, and it was hard for her not to think about it.And when it comes to being thin, it is obvious that he has lost even more weight. A tall boy at a young age can actually become so thin. How did he spend the nearly two months of summer vacation?Vanessa used to feel that she didn't have that kind of affection for Sirius, but maybe in her recent getting along and correspondence, she has already had some kind of affection for him under his subtle influence.
"You have to be careful recently." Sirius seemed to have something on his mind, and reminded Vanessa when she was silent, "The Dark Lord is holding a meeting again, in my parents' heavily guarded house. Besides going to St. Mungo's, you Try not to go out during this time, I don't know what they are going to do, but it is definitely not good, you have to be prepared."
Vanessa nodded, and said softly: "I see." She gently stroked the boy's thin hand, and said after a while, "You still have more than a month before school starts."
When she mentioned this, what Sirius thought of was: "Damn it."
He struggled to get up, frowning coldly, which startled Vanessa.
"What's wrong?" she asked puzzled.
Sirius pursed his lips and said, "I failed to send you a birthday present, what time is it?" He took out his wand to look at the time and date, and said with a pale face, "It's over, it's almost August, and I'm late." He wanted to get out of bed, but Vanessa helped him up, but when he really got out of bed, she said with a sleepy look, "I left the gift in that house, and I can't go back now." He turned his head, Looking at her remorsefully, "Sorry, Nisha, I may not be able to give you this year's birthday present."
He has neither money nor anything on him now, and it seems that all he can do is use magic to make a flower for her, or a flower that is late.
It turned out that the thing that made him suffer so much was just her birthday present.
Vanessa stared at the boy in front of her, and after a while she said, "It's okay." She put her hand on his shoulder and stroked his sleeve carefully, "You don't start school for more than a month, what's the matter?" For a while..." She thought for a while and made a decision, "You will live here."
It has to be said that Sirius was a little surprised by this result.
He stood there, almost at a loss.
"I can?" He asked suspiciously, his brows were still frowning. This handsome boy who was popular among thousands of girls at Hogwarts had suffered a lot from Vanessa, and he was starting to feel a little unconfident.
"You can." Vanessa comforted him tirelessly, raised her hand unconsciously, caressed his delicate cheek, and whispered, "I will raise you back to being so handsome in the past."
Sirius could not restrain the corners of his mouth from rising, he raised his hand, held Vanessa's hand on his cheek, turned over and kissed her palm.
So, when the school officially started in September and entered the sixth grade, James and the others discovered that Sirius was a little fatter than before the summer vacation.
On the way to the Quidditch stadium, James asked curiously: "Sires, you haven't replied to me for a holiday. I thought your life was not going well, so I almost ran to save you, but it looks like Did I misunderstand?" He observed him carefully, "Your cheeks are much rounder than before, and you look more handsome, which is really enviable."
Sirius didn't want to recall what Vanessa ate for him during the one-month vacation, and he didn't want to tell others about his relationship with Vanessa when the overall situation was uncertain, even his best brother James.
He had already killed her mother because of negligence and carelessness, and he must not let her be in any danger again.
"It's true that life was not very good, but that was a while ago." Sirius put his hands behind his head and lazily walked forward, "I had a good time during the rest of the holiday." So good that he I don't want to come to school.
"That's good." James smiled, and stopped him as soon as he finished speaking, "Hey, look, there is a girl who has been staring at you for a long time."
Sirius looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a girl wearing a Slytherin school uniform, with black hair and black eyes, and a prefect badge pinned to her chest. He didn't know what grade it was, but he didn't have any impression of it.
Since Vanessa graduated, his impression of Slytherin girls has been completely blurred.
"I don't know." Sirius looked away lightly, and pulled James away quickly. The girl watched his leaving back, and slowly bit her lip.
"Annie!" Another Slytherin girl walked up to the girl and asked her, "What's the matter with you?"
Anne Purvitt looked away and smiled and said, "It's nothing."
It would have been more believable if she hadn't smiled so sullenly.
Snape walked behind Prewett, glanced at her expression, remembered the troubles of the Blacks and his wife at the NO.
A few days later, Vanessa received a letter.
from SS.
She opened it and looked at it. She thought it was a reply about the list of potions, but she didn't expect the content to be related to Sirius.
Oh, by the way, she forgot to ask him what the hell he had with Snape at the end of fifth year, she just kept fatting him, damn it.
Vanessa was thinking about writing a letter later, when she was attracted by the contents of Snape's letter.
She knew why Sirius had acted like that over the summer.
Mrs. and Mrs. Blake, wishing him to be engaged to Miss Prewett, a pure-blood aristocrat of equal status.
When graduating from sixth grade.
That is next June.
There was only such a message in the letter, and she probably knew what purpose Snape had told her.
He might want revenge on Sirius.
Let her know that he might get engaged at the end of sixth grade, make her hate him, even leave him.
But Vanessa doesn't have that emotion.
She knew what Sirius had done to fight this.
She also knew what Sirius was going to do when he graduated from sixth grade.
He had already told her.
The promise that she didn't expect much, but she wanted to give it a try.
It had to be said that no matter what Snape had gone through to hate Sirius so much, his goal would not have been achieved.
Even, on November [-]rd, Sirius' birthday, he received possibly the best birthday present in his life.
Gryffindor bedroom.
The bed with the curtains down.
Sirius stared at the letter in his hand with wide eyes.
It was a letter from Vanessa to him.
She said in the letter——
We're boyfriend and girlfriend, and here's your birthday present this year.
The author has something to say: I have officially entered the sixth grade, and the progress will be accelerated. I may graduate within a chapter or two, and Draco is about to be born. Queen Regulus discovered the secret of the Horcrux in the sixth grade, so wait for West Reese graduated, Lao V's Horcruxes should be almost the same except for Nagini, and the flies rub their hands
By the way, I went to see Fantastic Beasts 2. After watching it, I really feel sorry for LV. The two generations of Dark Lords feel that there is a big gap in aesthetics. Hahahaha, I have to arrange the LV article!Then I went home and went to rewatch the HP movie again. When the head music played, I immediately burst into tears. Fewer and fewer people can chat with me about HP. I am a tenth-level HP scholar, so lonely TAT
Regulus squatted beside his brother, holding a plate in one hand and a fork in the other. On the plate was the steak he had cut.
Sirius glanced at him, he was very hungry, really hungry, he felt that he had no strength at all, not to mention running away, he couldn't speak.
But he didn't eat it.
He shook his head, pursed his lips and refused.
"Mother has given up forcing you to meet Miss Prewett." Regulus whispered, "You don't have to stand up like this anymore, eat something, you look bad." He was the same gray as him There was hidden worry in his eyes.
Sirius's lips were dry and peeling, he spoke hoarsely and weakly: "Then she gave up forcing me to get engaged to Prewett?"
Regulus closed his eyes and said nothing, Sirius forced a smile and said: "It seems not. Then you take these away. I don't think they will know that you brought these things. If they knew, they must You won't be allowed to do this." He tried to raise his hand and pushed his younger brother away, "Come on, don't you want to defy them like me? You are the most well-behaved little hero in their hearts."
If it was before, Regulus might be a little disgusted or displeased with Sirius' words.
But now he has no reaction.
Holding the plate stubbornly, he stared at Sirius and said, "Eat. Do you really want to starve to death?"
Sirius glanced lightly at the fragrant steak, his eyes were filled with gold stars, but he still refused to eat it.
"Reculus," he said, rarely in the mood to chat with him, "how was life as a Death Eater? Are you happy?"

His voice was hoarse, as if he had exhausted all his strength, "Voldemort is a lunatic, have you seen enough of the things he did?

Of course he didn't want to.

"Take your things."
Lucius threw a wand from above, and Sirius caught it immediately, looking at him with some surprise.
"And this." He walked in, the door was ajar, he knelt down close to him, opened a bottle of potion, and poured it into his mouth despite Sirius' objection.
"Drink it, Sirius Black, this is to replenish your strength. If you die here, think how sad Vanessa will be."

He walked into the hall of Black's house. It was summer, but he felt very cold.
It was really cold.
Hands are cold.
The heart is also cold.
He always remembered that on the night he decided to give up Vanessa, he stood behind her house with the lights out in the snow for a long, long time.
Then he figured it out.
He can't do that.Just because he loves her, he can't drag her into his muddy and complicated world.He's also had enough of being on his knees in this relationship, constantly begging for a moment of warmth and sweetness.
Trust her too.
Maybe that's what's best for them.
Lucius was surprised to find that at this moment, he didn't even feel like crying at all.He thought, maybe when a person is really in pain, he can't shed tears.He only felt chills all over his body, his headache was about to split, his stomach was about to convulse, and the blood all over his body was rushing towards his heart. He wished he could insert a knife in it, as if that would relieve the pain.
Sirius left NO.12, Grimmauld Place.
He came to Vanessa's residence unknowingly.
Standing outside the door, his unusual clothes attracted the attention of many Muggles. He forced himself up the steps, stood in front of the closed door, and was about to raise his hand to knock on the door, when the door opened opened.
Sirius stared blankly, quietly looking at his beloved girl standing in the door, when his girl saw him, she first rubbed her eyes, as if she thought he was a fake.
After confirming that he was real, she immediately pulled him into the room.
Sirius was thrown onto her by inertia. Her delicate body could not resist the weight of a young man, but this time it was different.
Sirius was so thin that a gust of wind could blow him down, and when Vanessa hugged him, he felt like he was covered in bones.
"How did you make it look like this?"
She is not a fool, she can guess what happened to him, she finished speaking hoarsely, took his hand, and helped him upstairs.
"Come with me." She said softly, and he followed suit. Even if she gave him a death curse at this moment, he would stand up straight and accept it.
Vanessa asked Sirius to lie down on her bed, and she sat on the edge of the bed and asked him, "How did you get here?"
Sirius looked at her and said slowly, "I walked to the Leaky Cauldron, then went to Diagon Alley, and walked around before I came to you."
Even though his body was already like this, he still cautiously did not come directly. Vanessa got up with hot eyes and said, "Lie down for a while, and I'll get you something to eat."
Sirius nodded, leaned on her bed and closed his eyes wearily.
He was really tired, Lucius' potion was only enough for him to support his body to come here, and now he didn't even have the strength to speak.
Vanessa took one last look at him, went downstairs to prepare food, and took a few bottles of physical supplements in an instant.
When Sirius woke up again, he was woken up by a throbbing pain in his stomach.
He lay prone on the bed, clutching his stomach, retching as pale as paper.
Vanessa was waiting on the side. Seeing that he woke up, she immediately stepped forward and said, "Is it hard? You need to eat something, or your stomach can't take it. You haven't eaten for several days."
Sirius lay prone on the side of the bed, propped himself up in embarrassment, and subconsciously nodded.
After nodding, fearing that she might be worried, he hastily shook his head again.
Vanessa watched his changes silently, helped him to lie down, and began to feed him.
She cooked a lot of easy-to-digest food, which was very gentle and easy to eat. Sirius swallowed the food little by little under her care. She didn't let him eat too fast, worrying that he would hurt his stomach more because of eating too fast.
After finally chewing and eating slowly, Vanessa made him drink two more bottles of stamina supplements, plus a bottle of potion for stomach problems.
"Okay." After doing all this, she was finally willing to let him go mercifully, and he also felt much better than before. Although he was still far from alive and kicking, at least he could speak and express normally.
"You..." Vanessa pursed her lips, hesitated for a long time, and said, "What's wrong with you, I wrote you many letters, but you didn't reply any of them, I'm very worried."
Sirius looked at her, as long as he could look at her like this, he felt that everything he had encountered before was worth it.
"It's nothing." He brought up those experiences in one sentence, and wrote lightly, "Nothing happened, I just violated the family's decision and was locked up." His face was still a little pale, and he changed the subject and said, "You are busy How long has it been? What time is it? You didn't go to St. Mungo's today?"
Vanessa slowly sat down on the side of the bed, they were very close, because it was summer, Vanessa usually didn't wear wizard robes when she was at home, she only wore a comfortable and cool Muggle dress, Sirius didn't have the energy to pay attention to these, Looking at it now, I can't help but straighten my eyes.
Vanessa lowered her head slowly, and she saw that because of her sitting posture, most of her skirt was pressed under her legs, and a large area of skin was exposed on it. From Sirius' perspective, it was probably... all gone.
Vanessa didn't have any special reaction, and was about to adjust the hem of her skirt when she saw Sirius stretch out his hand towards her.
Or rather, reaching out to her thigh.
Vanessa's eyes dimmed, she stared intently at his hand, and for a moment, she thought he was going to touch her.
but.
Sirius' slender hands slowly landed on her skirt, helping her pull it up little by little.
Vanessa looked at him, and Sirius smiled at her, very boyish, and he patted her and said, "The skirt is too short."
Vanessa felt her heart burning, and couldn't help holding his hand.
Sirius was a little surprised, but quickly held her hand back. He tilted his head slightly and asked her, "Why are your hands so cold? You seem to have lost weight, are you too busy with work?"
How should I say this has a lot to do with worrying about him?He had been out of contact for more than a month, and it was hard for her not to think about it.And when it comes to being thin, it is obvious that he has lost even more weight. A tall boy at a young age can actually become so thin. How did he spend the nearly two months of summer vacation?Vanessa used to feel that she didn't have that kind of affection for Sirius, but maybe in her recent getting along and correspondence, she has already had some kind of affection for him under his subtle influence.
"You have to be careful recently." Sirius seemed to have something on his mind, and reminded Vanessa when she was silent, "The Dark Lord is holding a meeting again, in my parents' heavily guarded house. Besides going to St. Mungo's, you Try not to go out during this time, I don't know what they are going to do, but it is definitely not good, you have to be prepared."
Vanessa nodded, and said softly: "I see." She gently stroked the boy's thin hand, and said after a while, "You still have more than a month before school starts."
When she mentioned this, what Sirius thought of was: "Damn it."
He struggled to get up, frowning coldly, which startled Vanessa.
"What's wrong?" she asked puzzled.
Sirius pursed his lips and said, "I failed to send you a birthday present, what time is it?" He took out his wand to look at the time and date, and said with a pale face, "It's over, it's almost August, and I'm late." He wanted to get out of bed, but Vanessa helped him up, but when he really got out of bed, she said with a sleepy look, "I left the gift in that house, and I can't go back now." He turned his head, Looking at her remorsefully, "Sorry, Nisha, I may not be able to give you this year's birthday present."
He has neither money nor anything on him now, and it seems that all he can do is use magic to make a flower for her, or a flower that is late.
It turned out that the thing that made him suffer so much was just her birthday present.
Vanessa stared at the boy in front of her, and after a while she said, "It's okay." She put her hand on his shoulder and stroked his sleeve carefully, "You don't start school for more than a month, what's the matter?" For a while..." She thought for a while and made a decision, "You will live here."
It has to be said that Sirius was a little surprised by this result.
He stood there, almost at a loss.
"I can?" He asked suspiciously, his brows were still frowning. This handsome boy who was popular among thousands of girls at Hogwarts had suffered a lot from Vanessa, and he was starting to feel a little unconfident.
"You can." Vanessa comforted him tirelessly, raised her hand unconsciously, caressed his delicate cheek, and whispered, "I will raise you back to being so handsome in the past."
Sirius could not restrain the corners of his mouth from rising, he raised his hand, held Vanessa's hand on his cheek, turned over and kissed her palm.
So, when the school officially started in September and entered the sixth grade, James and the others discovered that Sirius was a little fatter than before the summer vacation.
On the way to the Quidditch stadium, James asked curiously: "Sires, you haven't replied to me for a holiday. I thought your life was not going well, so I almost ran to save you, but it looks like Did I misunderstand?" He observed him carefully, "Your cheeks are much rounder than before, and you look more handsome, which is really enviable."
Sirius didn't want to recall what Vanessa ate for him during the one-month vacation, and he didn't want to tell others about his relationship with Vanessa when the overall situation was uncertain, even his best brother James.
He had already killed her mother because of negligence and carelessness, and he must not let her be in any danger again.
"It's true that life was not very good, but that was a while ago." Sirius put his hands behind his head and lazily walked forward, "I had a good time during the rest of the holiday." So good that he I don't want to come to school.
"That's good." James smiled, and stopped him as soon as he finished speaking, "Hey, look, there is a girl who has been staring at you for a long time."
Sirius looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a girl wearing a Slytherin school uniform, with black hair and black eyes, and a prefect badge pinned to her chest. He didn't know what grade it was, but he didn't have any impression of it.
Since Vanessa graduated, his impression of Slytherin girls has been completely blurred.
"I don't know." Sirius looked away lightly, and pulled James away quickly. The girl watched his leaving back, and slowly bit her lip.
"Annie!" Another Slytherin girl walked up to the girl and asked her, "What's the matter with you?"
Anne Purvitt looked away and smiled and said, "It's nothing."
It would have been more believable if she hadn't smiled so sullenly.
Snape walked behind Prewett, glanced at her expression, remembered the troubles of the Blacks and his wife at the NO.
A few days later, Vanessa received a letter.
from SS.
She opened it and looked at it. She thought it was a reply about the list of potions, but she didn't expect the content to be related to Sirius.
Oh, by the way, she forgot to ask him what the hell he had with Snape at the end of fifth year, she just kept fatting him, damn it.
Vanessa was thinking about writing a letter later, when she was attracted by the contents of Snape's letter.
She knew why Sirius had acted like that over the summer.
Mrs. and Mrs. Blake, wishing him to be engaged to Miss Prewett, a pure-blood aristocrat of equal status.
When graduating from sixth grade.
That is next June.
There was only such a message in the letter, and she probably knew what purpose Snape had told her.
He might want revenge on Sirius.
Let her know that he might get engaged at the end of sixth grade, make her hate him, even leave him.
But Vanessa doesn't have that emotion.
She knew what Sirius had done to fight this.
She also knew what Sirius was going to do when he graduated from sixth grade.
He had already told her.
The promise that she didn't expect much, but she wanted to give it a try.
It had to be said that no matter what Snape had gone through to hate Sirius so much, his goal would not have been achieved.
Even, on November [-]rd, Sirius' birthday, he received possibly the best birthday present in his life.
Gryffindor bedroom.
The bed with the curtains down.
Sirius stared at the letter in his hand with wide eyes.
It was a letter from Vanessa to him.
She said in the letter——
We're boyfriend and girlfriend, and here's your birthday present this year.
The author has something to say: I have officially entered the sixth grade, and the progress will be accelerated. I may graduate within a chapter or two, and Draco is about to be born. Queen Regulus discovered the secret of the Horcrux in the sixth grade, so wait for West Reese graduated, Lao V's Horcruxes should be almost the same except for Nagini, and the flies rub their hands
By the way, I went to see Fantastic Beasts 2. After watching it, I really feel sorry for LV. The two generations of Dark Lords feel that there is a big gap in aesthetics. Hahahaha, I have to arrange the LV article!Then I went home and went to rewatch the HP movie again. When the head music played, I immediately burst into tears. Fewer and fewer people can chat with me about HP. I am a tenth-level HP scholar, so lonely TAT
