[HP Sirius] Light and Darkness

second round

The opening ceremony started a bit late this year because the freshmen never showed up.

The last one who slipped into the auditorium and sat down was the head of a certain college, who told the students around him that the giant squid in the black lake suddenly became noisy for some reason, intercepted the freshmen in the middle of the lake, and scared the first-year little fluffy half dead.One of the freshmen, probably thinking it was a matriculation test, bravely took out his wand and cast a spell on it.

The wait is always long and boring, and after the passage spreads throughout the auditorium it becomes: A freshman dares to fight a giant squid and fight it off!The intense process in the middle is described so realistically and vividly, as if someone saw it with their own eyes.

Although it didn't rain today, and Peeves didn't make trouble with the water polo at the door, many freshmen's clothes were still soaked.

Hailis twisted the water from her cuff, and accidentally rubbed against a black-haired boy who seemed very silent next to her.

"Sorry." Hailis quickly apologized when he saw him strumming to the side.

The boy glanced at her, took a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to her.Seeing that Hailis was a little at a loss, not knowing whether to pick it up or not, the boy simply put the handkerchief into her hand, and then walked to the front.

Hayley had to wipe off the water with a handkerchief.Then take note of the boy's characteristics, intending to return them to him later.

The trembling freshmen walked through the long long table of the college, and the main event of the annual opening ceremony was finally about to begin.

The freshman list was sorted alphabetically by last name, so it was Haylee's second, just behind Regulus Black.

Hailis estimated that she would be called soon, so she watched the whole process of the boy putting on the sorting hat seriously.It so happened that he was the one who had lent her the handkerchief.

The shabby Sorting Hat hesitated for a while on Regulus's head before shouting, "Slytherin!"

A round of applause and cheers erupted from the long table hung with silver and green banners and drapes overhead.Regulus took off the Sorting Hat as if he was relieved, and returned it to Professor McGonagall.Go to the Slytherin table.

When Sirius saw Regulus being assigned to Slytherin, he couldn't tell what it was like.After being sorted into Gryffindor last year, Sirius had received endless complaints from his mother, and he very much hoped that Regulus could also be sorted into Gryffindor.But obviously only he is the outlier of the Black family, and the only one.

Before Sirius could look back, Professor McGonagall called Hayles' name.

"Hey, isn't she the girl we saw in the train compartment?" James recognized instantly.

"...Well, yes." Sirius' thoughts were pulled back, and he forced himself to focus on Hayles' branch.

Hayles sat on the three-legged stool, and Professor McGonagall put the Sorting Hat on her head.The Sorting Hat babbled a lot to Hayles, and hesitated for several minutes whether to sort her into Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff.Hailis's answer was a bit unsatisfactory, and the sorting hat finally decided to assign Hailis to Ravenclaw.

"Hmph, another outlier." When the long Ravenclaw table applauded, a Slytherin student sitting next to Regulus said, "Mr. Brad graduated from Durmstrang Yes, and Mrs. Brad is a Slytherin, and I thought their daughter must be a Slytherin too."

Regulus looked back when he heard that.Slytherin's long table and Ravenclaw's long table were on the sides of the auditorium, so it was not easy for the students of the two colleges in the middle to see things on the other side.But by coincidence, Regulus saw that Sirius seemed to be looking at the girl too.

Haylee sat down next to a blond Ravenclaw girl in seventh year, with a badge pinned to her chest, as if she held some position.

Sirius saw Hailis, just like on the train, talking to the female student council president with a little calmness and alienation.He didn't know anything about the Brad family, but he suddenly envied her calmness, as if she didn't care about anything.If only he could do it too.

After dinner, Principal Dumbledore stood up and told everyone some precautions, and led everyone to sing the school song before letting the students go to bed.

The prefects all stood up and greeted the freshmen of their respective colleges to prevent them from getting lost.

But now all the students are in black robes, and if you remove the college logo and tie on the chest, they look almost identical from the back.Hai Lisi only slipped the number for a while, and found that she seemed to have lost track.

The bustling people on the stairs were crowded with similar figures, who should she follow?Where is the tower of Ravenclaw?Hayley has a headache.At this time, she saw a figure who was about the same height as her back, and she felt a little familiar, so she followed.

Sirius suddenly felt someone following him behind him.Because he wanted to avoid crowded places, he and the other three friends chose to take a relatively secluded staircase.It's just that the stairs there are particularly prone to changes and require extra care.

Halice didn't realize that the person she was following was Sirius, but she noticed that they seemed to be gradually moving away from the crowd.Now, no matter how unfamiliar Hailisi was with this place, she could sense something was wrong.She was about to ask the black-haired boy in front of him which college he belonged to, when suddenly a water polo hit her shoulder, and the cold liquid soaked a large area in an instant.

"The freshman who defeated the giant squid is nothing more than that! First-year stinky brat! Coward!" Peeves laughed in mid-air, throwing the water polo in his hand at Hailis one after another.

Sirius had noticed the abnormality on the top of his head a long time ago. He was familiar with Peeves' routine of bullying freshmen, so he bent down and avoided it with a smile.Only Hailis was hit straight when she couldn't dodge, and the school gown that had finally dried was wet again.She reacted immediately from the shock, pulled out her wand, and a ray of light grazed Peeves' translucent body, disappearing into the night-sky ceiling.

Peeves laughed and danced in the air, not paying attention to Haylies at all.He kept moving his hands, throwing all the water polo he brought on Hailis.

Halice raised her wand angrily to fight back, but Peeves was neither a person nor a ghost, and magic seemed to have no effect on him.She wanted to knock all the water polos into the air, but the walls of those water polos were so thin that it seemed that they would burst immediately if they were touched by magic.

It was as if it had rained on this section of the stairs, the ground and handrails became wet, and large pools of water accumulated on the stairs and continued to flow down.

After Peeves threw away all the water polos in his hands, Gaga flew away with a strange smile, leaving only the wet Haylies.The water dripped down her robe, and the sound of hitting the stone slab was clearly audible.

Sirius and James hid aside to watch a good show.Hailis turned her head angrily when she heard the forbearance of laughter, and found that the two of them were holding their stomachs with joy, and their faces were blushing.

Seeing Hailis's expression, Sirius finally stopped smiling: "Aren't you hiding? Just waiting for him to hit you?"

Of course Hailis wanted to go, but her legs seemed to be fixed by something.She looked down and saw that the stairs had a big hole at some point, biting her leg as if alive, trying to swallow it down.

——What is going on in this school?Hayley had never heard anything said about Hogwarts.

Following Hayles' gaze, Sirius also saw her embarrassment.He walked over and stretched out his hand, intending to give her a hand, "The stairs here are very dangerous, you have to... be more careful." He couldn't help laughing again.Although this girl looked calm on the train, she was still as stupid as other freshmen after all.

Haylies raised her arm to wipe the drops of water off her face, then took Sirius' hand and pulled/pull/out the leg from the mouth of the stairs.But the stairs were clenched tightly, and when Hailis tried hard to retract her legs, she accidentally lost her balance and fell down suddenly in the direction Sirius pulled her.

Sirius quickly grabbed Hailis's hood, although this prevented Hailis from falling, but the blow almost strangled her.

Sirius also found that the position of his grasp was a bit inappropriate, so he quickly let go of his hand.Hailis quickly pulled the neckline of the school robe, rubbing her throat to breathe.

"Why don't you go back to the dormitory quickly?" Suddenly a voice sounded behind them.

James and Sirius were instinctively nervous, but after thinking about it again, they haven't violated the school rules, so what are they afraid of?Conscience, they didn't bully that first-year girl.It's all the fault of Peeves and the stairs.

"We're going back, Miss Oranides." After James finished speaking, Sirius continued, "What are you doing here? It doesn't seem to lead to Ravenclaw Tower."

"I'm looking for a promising freshman from our college, Mr. Black." Sirtis Oranides replied.

Hailis recognized that it was the seventh grader sitting next to her at the opening ceremony, and hurried to her side.She seemed much more reliable than the two male voices from the lower grades.

"Why are you so wet?" Sirtis asked curiously.She cast a drying spell for her, and Hayles felt much better.

"I met that..." Hailis realized before Sirtees finished speaking that Peeves might be bullying the new students again.

"Peeves?" Sirtis said clearly, "He just knows how to make trouble, you just need to pay more attention to him in the future. Go back to the dormitory quickly. There are two of you." Sirtis turned his head, " Mr. Potter, Mr. Black, I hope you can deduct less points from Gryffindor this year."

Although Sirius and James were very unconvinced, they couldn't directly conflict with Sirtis, so they could only find ways to tease her in the future.

Sirtis took Hailis back to Ravenclaw's common room, pointed her in the direction of the girls' dormitory, and suddenly asked as if thinking of something, "Miss Brad, what did you do today? Following those two children?"

Hai Lisi didn't know what was going on: "I... slipped away for a while, and when I came back to my senses, I found that the backs were similar, so I just..."

"Okay." Sirtis didn't want to go any further, she just wanted to remind Hailis, "Those two people are well-known troublemakers in the school, so when you are on guard against Peeves in the future, don't forget to be careful." Hit the two of them. Maybe one day they will play tricks on you when they have nothing to do."

Hailis felt that the two of them had no reason to do this, but since the senior sister said it, she agreed, "Okay, I will pay attention."

"Okay, go to bed early, I hope you can get used to living here. I don't seem to have told you, welcome to Ravenclaw." Sirtis smiled at Hailis.

The author has something to say:

Suddenly discovering that the colleges and ages are different, there will be fewer opportunities for interaction!
