[HP Sirius] Light and Darkness

attend parties

"Anyway, you are only in the fourth grade, and there are still two years before the OWLs exam." Sirius put his arm around Hailis's shoulders, "And A will not be detained after class. It's just that you may miss Professor Slughorn The Slug Club."

"I'm not that interested in that," Hayes said, but her grades were too much to show to her mother.

Although my father had said before that my mother would bring Tilly to live here, but I don't know why it never happened.Probably she is too dissatisfied with the environment here.Anyway, Hai Lisi went to school in the UK, and only her father accompanied her. This kind of environment was just right.

Mr. Brad didn't say anything after learning about Hailis' grades. In fact, there was only one A and the rest were O's. There was nothing to be picky about. He was not as demanding as Mrs. Brad.What's more, as a member of the Brad family, as long as the grades in ancient runes and spells are good enough.

"I'm not interested in that either." Sirius said disdainfully. Professor Slughorn had invited him to join that slug club more than once, but he knew that there were slugs in that club, so he wouldn't go to that club. where.

After the start of the new semester, Haylis was not doing very well in Potions class. It wasn't until she absent-mindedly blew up a cauldron that billowed thick smoke in the classroom that Professor Slughorn left helplessly. She labors after class, disemboweling a bucket of longhorned toads.

Fortunately, the professor didn't say that the toads could only be peeled by hand, so Hailis certainly wouldn't use her hands to catch those half-dead toads one by one.She moved a small stool and sat by the bucket, waving her wand flexibly.It was as if an invisible hand was flicking the poor little ones in the air.

Professor Slughorn came out of the office with a teacup by chance, and saw that the bucket in front of Hayles was almost empty, and her spell... looked really good.

"It seems that you are very talented in Charms, Miss Brad." Professor Slughorn just finished judging the students' homework, and wanted to go out for a walk and straighten his back. Anyway, he had nothing to do. Then he sat down on the chair opposite Hailis, apparently planning to chat with her for a while.

"Thank you, Professor," Hayles replied.With a flick of her wrist, the toad's entrails fell into a small bucket, and with another flick of the wrist, the toad's eyeballs were peeled off and dropped into another bowl.

"Are you from a purely wizarding family?" Slughorn asked curiously again.

"...If you mean pure blood, yes." Hailis didn't like to mention her pure blood identity, perhaps because of the strong influence of Sirius, she gradually began to feel that such an identity was a kind of Burdened.

Just like Sirius can only laugh happily by James' side, Hayles sometimes envies those who come from mixed wizard and Muggle families, or even from Muggle families.Their homes are certainly not heavy and suffocating, nor are they compelled to do anything by tradition or interest.

Of course, the scariest thing is that the parents enjoy it.

In fact, the engagement between her and Sirius was one of them, but it happened that the two of them had feelings for each other, so this kind of interest model got a happy ending for everyone.

"The Brad family...pure blood..." Slughorn narrowed his eyes and thought.In fact, there are only 28 pure-blood families left in the narrow sense, but there is no Brad family name in it.In the past three generations, if they have not married Muggles or Muggle-born wizards, they are regarded as pure blood in a broad sense, and the number is very large.

"...I'm from Germany. It's normal if you haven't heard of it." Hailis wasn't sure whether she was German or British. Although she grew up in Germany, her family was originally from England. Others can tell at a glance that the surname is not a German surname.

"Germany?!" Hailes' words reminded Slughorn, and he remembered, "Are you a descendant of the Brad family who was kicked out?" As soon as the words came out, Slughorn Horn found something wrong in his words, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that."

"It's okay." Hailis didn't feel much about it, after all, it was 400 years ago.

"I know your family's accomplishments in ancient runes, and you have a large collection of ancient documents." Slughorn finally remembered. He regretted it a bit. He had taught Hayles for three years. Just noticed her?

Thinking of this, Slughorn wanted to pull Hailis into his slug club.He loves hanging out with the famous, the successful and the important, and these "chosen" kids are what he sees as future stars.As for Hailis' family's bad reputation, he didn't care.As someone said, black and red are also red.

"This Saturday night, I hope you can come to my party." After making up his mind, Slughorn said to Hailis with a smile, "Oh, you don't have to peel them anymore, after class The labor ends here, and I will find other students to do the rest." As Slughorn waved his wand, several wooden barrels and small bowls in front of Haylis disappeared.

Hailis understood what Slughorn meant, but since she could be exempted from the after-school work of peeling the longhorn toad, it's really okay for her to go once.And although she is not interested in this kind of gathering, at least she doesn't hate it.After all, a party is better than smelling fish for hours.

"Then thank you for your invitation." Hailis nodded.

The first party was not a pleasant one, because not only did Hayley wear a gown that she had never been used to, but she also met someone there that she hadn't expected at all.

The boy who dueled Sirius in the Muggle streets during summer vacation!Until now, Hailis didn't know what his name was, but his gloomy expression and greasy hair impressed her.Snape also recognized Hayles. To be honest, he only knew that this girl had a close relationship with Black, but didn't know her name.

The silent confrontation between the two was quickly broken by Professor Slughorn, "Hey, I think you should know each other, Severus Snape, a young man in my college with an extraordinary talent for potions, this It's Hayleas Kate Blood, a Ravenclaw girl with a family gift for ancient runes."

It's just that Professor Slughorn's circus didn't succeed in getting the two of them to shake hands or show a smile, and the three of them stood here a little weirdly.For Slughorn, who is good at observing words and expressions, he has already noticed that there seems to be some contradiction between the two students.

A black-haired boy just passed by, and Slughorn seemed to see a big downward step, and quickly stopped him, "Regulus, come and meet our new member."

Regulus came over, he was a little surprised to see Hayles, "We know each other, she is...my brother's fiancée."

"Really?!" Slughorn hadn't heard of it yet. "It's a pity that Sirius has been refusing my invitation. Since you are his fiancée, maybe you can change his mind."

Hayley knew that was unlikely.But she still had an excuse to have a few words with Regulus, and finally left Snape whose eyes were about to freeze her into ice.

Regulus actually had nothing to say to Hayles. After Sirius had a quarrel with Walburga during the summer vacation, he didn't come home for two months, and his mother almost regarded him as a son.

But it's not gentlemanly to wait for a lady to speak first, Regulus said anyway, "Professor Slughorn has finally invited you."

"It's just in exchange for not having to do after-school labor." Hailis replied.The temperature here seems a bit too high, and she felt that she was already sweating. "If you don't mind I want to get out and get some air, it's kind of hot in here."

"Please." Regulus stepped out of the way.

Hailis walked outside the room, the air in the corridor was much lower than in the room, which made her shiver.

But the atmosphere here is much more comfortable for her than inside, maybe she is more suitable to be alone, or there is only one person by her side to accompany her.

Hailis couldn't help thinking of Sirius, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but bend.

There was no sound at all in the quiet corridor, but Hailis still looked around, maybe it was her illusion, she seemed to feel that there... she was not alone.

Knowing when the Slug Club is held is very simple for the raiders.Because Lily Evans was one of them, let Mary know it by just asking.

As always, they lay in ambush outside the corridor, waiting to strike Snape.

The slug club ended at just the right time, long enough for the students to return to their dormitories before the door was closed. Sirius and James quietly came to the corridor and put on James' invisibility cloak.Remus and Peter didn't come this time, because Remus was elected a prefect, and the best he could do was not to inform them, and he couldn't get involved anymore.And Peter said he would stay with him in the dormitory.

Seeing that it was almost time to end, a person no one expected came out of the room.

—Hailey, still wearing the dress skirt?Sirius almost cried out, but James covered his mouth just in time.

"Why did she come to participate in this?" Sirius' voice turned into a series of inarticulate whimpers.

"Hey, Evans is out!" James' eyes were quickly drawn away by Lily.

The door of the room opened again, and it seemed that the party was over.Hailis walked to the side, and her figure disappeared around a corner.

Although Sirius really wanted to catch up with her and ask her, he definitely couldn't rush out at this time.

"Damn it, Evans is with the slug again!" James beat his chest and finally let go of his hand covering Sirius' mouth.

It wasn't until the students had all left slowly that Sirius and James couldn't wait to part ways to find Haylis, hoping she was still around the corner.If Sirius remembers correctly, that corner is a dead end.

Hailis heard the chaotic footsteps and voices outside gradually disappearing, and then planned to go out.But before she lifted her foot, she heard a rush of footsteps again, and before she could react, a tall figure pushed her against the cold stone wall.

"Oh!" Hailis was taken aback, and the man covered her mouth.

The author has something to say:

Hailisi's fourth grade seems to have no special plot, it seems that only Sirius' Puwu test and the appearance of the big black dog are left~
