[HP Sirius] Light and Darkness

Chapter 18 Handpicked Engagement

hand-picked engagement

It's almost Christmas.

During this period, James failed to find any flaws in Sirius, and the mysterious girl seemed to have disappeared.James planned to find some clues at the Christmas ball hosted by the student union this year, but he didn't expect Sirius to go home during the Christmas holiday.

"Don't you want to go home every year during the holidays?" James instinctively felt that there must be something wrong with it, but Sirius refused to tell him, and he had no way of guessing.

"You think I really want to go home? I just have something to do this year." Sirius leaned on the sofa in the warm common room of Gryffindor, twirling his wand with his slender fingers boredly, while Looking out the window at the snow-covered Ravenclaw Tower.The Potter family and the Black family are not in the same social circle, and they don't know anything about Sirius' engagement to James.But it's a good thing, otherwise, if James grasped this point, he would definitely make fun of him in another way.

What is it?Sirius didn't say anything, James was so anxious that his heart itch, but he just couldn't figure it out.It wasn't until the day he actually left school that James finally discovered that not only Sirius, but most of the so-called "pure-blood" students did not stay.

Perhaps there is another important gathering of the pure-blood family?James could only think of this.

Hayley was also on the train back to London, where she was going to stand trial at the Ministry of Magic.

Because few students were going home, the trains were empty.I almost walked through several boxes before I saw students sitting inside.

Hayley put on her hood and walked onto the train with her head down.She wanted to go to the back of the train, so that she would avoid meeting many people and avoid embarrassment.But just when she was halfway there, someone suddenly grabbed her wrist and dragged her into the box next to her.

Hailis was taken aback, she almost screamed, but fortunately, she discovered the true face of the perpetrator in time.

"Sirius, you can definitely let me in in a more ordinary way." Hayles withdrew her hand from Sirius's and rubbed her wrist. He scratched her a little painfully.

"This effect will be more surprising." Sirius blinked at Hailis, reached out to caress her face, and gently squeezed her cheek, "Don't you think? Relax , your face is too tight."

Hailis took a deep breath, and forced a smile: "It depends on the surprise and joy in whose eyes."

The two were sitting on the same side of the box, and before they could say a few words, footsteps suddenly came from the corridor of the box.

"Hey, the outlier of the Black family, hurry up and learn more about black magic with Brad during the limited time!" A seventh-year Slytherin boy said eccentrically, "After all, she was kidnapped by the Dark Lord..."

Before he finished speaking, his companion covered his mouth: "He drank too much butter beer, his mind is not clear." After finishing speaking, he was dragged away.

"Dark Lord?" Hailis seems to have seen this name somewhere, what exactly does this person do?

"Or he has another name, Voldemort?" Sirius' expression darkened immediately when he mentioned this name, and the recent strangeness of his parents seemed to be related to this person. "Advocating pure blood, clearing Muggles and so on."

When Sirius said this, Hailis suddenly remembered that she had indeed seen this name in the "Daily Prophet", but this person was after her?Was she of any use to him?

"Don't worry, you are a pureblood." Sirius said, "At least your life will not be in danger."

Although Sirius said so, both of them instinctively felt that things might not be that simple.

After getting off the train, Hailis was picked up by the Brads to prepare for the trial, while Sirius and Regulus were picked up by the Blacks to prepare for the engagement ceremony that was suspended last time.

Hailis had never been to the Ministry of Magic in London, and she didn't have a good impression of it. Maybe it was because of the underground, it always felt like there was not enough light.

Through the long dark corridor, Hailis finally came to a big black door.

Accompanying her was her father.

"Hailee, don't be afraid of anything." Mr. Brad said, "Everything is in our favor."

Halice didn't understand what her father meant, but he had already pushed open the heavy black door, so she could only bite the bullet and walk in.

This is a very tall circular courtroom, but fortunately it is not full of people, not even one-third of the total seats.Hailis didn't dare to look back, she could only see the people in her frontal sight, she saw her parents, Sirius' father, Mr. Black, and many other amazing people she didn't know.

She walked to the chair in the middle and sat down. There were many iron chains hanging on the chair, which looked very cold and scary, but luckily they didn't jump up and entangle her.

"Now we begin the trial of Hayley Skate O'Neill Blood for her use of the Dark Arts at Hogwarts."

Hailis has never participated in a trial, but she knows that a normal trial will never be like this.

First of all, before the recorder finished reading what happened, the Nott family stated that they had withdrawn the lawsuit.

Hayley thought her ears had misheard.How could they have withdrawn the lawsuit, and why?

After that, things became very indifferent. After all, the plaintiff had given up her rights, and with the testimony of Professor Flitwick and others, Hailis was acquitted in court.

The whole process took exactly one hour.Before Hailis could react, she was apparated by her mother to a large manor.

It looks a little familiar here.

"Change her into suitable clothes, and then bring her to the main hall." Mrs. Brad let go of Hailis's arm, and instructed the house-elf who was waiting beside her.

"Okay, ma'am!" the house-elf answered shrilly, and began to use her magic to help Hayles take off the black school gown and put on an expensive-looking floor-length skirt. skirt.

"Wait...what the hell is going on here?" Hailisi wanted to struggle, but these house elves didn't give her such a chance at all. Well, even a simple and beautiful girly hairstyle, so it doesn't look like she was the defendant in a trial just now.

"Miss Brad, this way!" A house-elf in a pillowcase led Haylee to a gate.

Hayles didn't understand what happened until now, but it suddenly occurred to her that Sirius had said that he was going to get engaged again at Christmas, so... this is the venue for his engagement?Why did my mother have to bring me here?Or is it just an ordinary banquet to celebrate her not entering Azkaban?

On the other side of the door, Sirius put on a set of dress robes with a rare seriousness.The bow tie around his neck was strangling him so hard he couldn't breathe.He looked out the window boredly, thinking of seventeen ways to escape from here, but for Hailis, he couldn't implement any of them.

Regulus was standing beside him. Although he and his elder brother had become estranged a lot now, the two brothers would still talk to each other occasionally.Seeing Sirius' uncomfortable expression, he was really puzzled. What is the relationship between these two people?Doesn't Sirius like her?After all, the two of them have long been recognized as a couple at Hogwarts.

Halice stood quietly outside the gate, and she could even hear the chatter and laughter of the people inside.

Finally, she mustered up the courage to raise her gauze-gloved hand and pushed open the door, and the world beyond the door opened to her little by little.

The movement of the door caught everyone's attention, because now only the other protagonist of the engagement ceremony was present.The identity of the person behind the door is beyond doubt.

Sirius looked through the small gap in the doorway, and he was a little stunned.As the gap between the doors got bigger and bigger, after the door was completely opened, the wine glass in his hand fell to the ground with a "crack" and smashed to pieces.

Soon there were house-elves clearing the ground.

"What!?!?" Sirius yelled without hesitation.

Seeing Sirius' stunned and shocked look, Regulus was a little amused: "Don't you know you are engaged to Brad?"

Sirius' eyes were still fixed on the girl he was thinking of, and the people took the initiative to make way for her to walk directly in front of Sirius.

"I don't know!" Sirius regretted so much, if he was willing to listen to that sentence patiently, he wouldn't have to suffer for so long.

Of course Hailis saw Sirius right away, but she was a little hesitant.If this is really Sirius' engagement scene, she probably won't be able to stay any longer.

Thinking of this, her footsteps also hesitated.

But it doesn't matter.It is enough for one of the two to take the initiative.

Sirius strode over in three steps at a time, and hugged Hailis.He was so happy that he couldn't help but picked her up and twirled her around.The complicated and drooping skirt instantly blossomed into a flower.

Being watched by so many people, Hailis was a little scared and a little shy, she could only put her arms around his neck and said repeatedly, "Wait, wait a minute, Sirius, this is not your engagement...?"

"It's our engagement ceremony." Sirius corrected. "I've been waiting for you."

Regulus couldn't help laughing again: as if he hadn't just found out who his betrothed was.

"Ours?" Hayley couldn't believe how lucky she was today.First he was acquitted, and then he was engaged to Sirius.She must have done something good to usher in such a day.

This might be the best Christmas of her life.

No, not right.With him by his side, Christmas in the future will be even better.

Knott came to the ball too, and Hayley was still a little guilty and cringing at the sight of him.

Sirius thought he was here to provoke trouble, and grabbed Hailis's hand, meaning to tell her not to be afraid, and from today onwards she would no longer be alone.With him by his side, he will face all future problems and difficulties with her.

However, Nott did not come here to provoke trouble. He first politely blessed the two of them, and then stretched out his hand and said, "If we don't fight, we don't know each other. I hope we can work together happily under the Dark Lord's command in the future."

Only then did Hailis notice that apart from Sirius and her, everyone in this venue was wizards from Slytherin or Durmstrang.

The author has something to say:

If you have seen the black and red angel, you should remember that Hailis has a godfather, who guides her away from the dark side,

In this book, this role will be played by Sirius!
