[HP] Once Upon a Time in England

The story of Hyacinth falling out of bed and falling to the ground in the middle of the night was sent to Sirius in the early morning of the next day.But when he got to St. Mungo's she told him it was just a nightmare.

"Nightmare?" he asked. "What kind of nightmare can scare you like this?"

Now she was lying in St. Mungo's hospital bed, the sun was shining in front of her window, and there were swarms of pigeons and sparrows flying around outside.In the dream, she was tortured; in reality, she was well taken care of.

Even if the nightmare isn't completely gone, what's the point of pretending it's gone for a while?

"It's nothing." She closed her eyes, "I just dreamed that I was running away."

"What do you want to run away from?" He really asked.

"A lot." She replied meaningfully.

She has been forced to reveal some of her secrets, but she still keeps more in her heart.

"Remus will bring Edharuo back today." He didn't want to press her again, so he changed the subject, "Do you want to meet her with me?"

A scene of a family reunion.It's sensational, but he's also looking forward to it.

"Okay." She readily agreed, "Please prepare a rose for me."

"Rose?"

"Red roses," she said emphatically, and then turned to look at him again. "She cried a lot the day we parted, so I left her a rose. Tell her I'll take her home before it withers." .”

But she knew in her heart that this farewell would last forever.Fortunately, Ada was still a baby at that time, otherwise she would definitely remember this lie firmly and refuse to see this lying mother again.

There was a schadenfreude in her eyes, and Sirius knew she was enjoying torturing him.She knew that he couldn't hear the details of these separations, so she always hinted at him in a subtle way: when they needed him most, he didn't come, and he didn't even know about it.

Although it was not his fault, his absence left her with no choice.Even her cooperation with Rozier later became another kind of compromise, or sacrifice.

He did not suffer her pain, taste her pain.Maybe he was covered in scars too, but that was different.

He did not hide secrets in his heart, and spent more than 2000 days and nights in anxiety and walking on eggshells.

"I can't make you up for anything." Sirius' heart ached again, "Whether you hate me or blame me, I deserve it."

"You think too much." She clarified, "You and I don't owe anything."

"is it?"

"It wasn't you who gave me to the Death Eaters; it wasn't you who took Ada; it wasn't you—" She stopped abruptly, with a mean smile on her lips, "The worst thing you did was It's just making me pregnant, but you didn't sleep on the bed alone, right?"

Sirius never expected that she would say such a thing, and the last sentence almost took his breath away.

"Speaking of which," Hyacinth seemed determined to piss him off, "you don't still have the engagement ring, do you?"

Her eyes fell on his left hand, which was empty.

Hyacinth laughed, somewhat mockingly.

Without saying a word, Sirius took out a pocket watch from the inner pocket of his robe.There are two identical rings hanging from the end of the pocket watch, like some kind of custom-made jewelry.

"I do still have it." He handed her the pocket watch, "Do you want to check the authenticity?"

She didn't pick it up, her eyelashes trembled violently a few times, and then she turned her head to the other side abruptly.

They had never been in her life before, and now they were standing in front of her, close at hand.She looked up at the man and woman, and found a part of herself in each of them.

"Go over." Remus pushed her gently, "Your parents are waiting for you."

Ada suddenly became shy, and hid behind the relatively familiar Remus.Maybe it was because of the timidity of being close to home, she suddenly didn't know what to say.

Of course Sirius noticed the little girl's eyes that kept secretly looking at her.She was lively and beautiful, almost exactly as he had imagined.A daughter lost and found... how would he speak?How do you love?How to make up for the lack of seven years of love?

"Ada." In the end it was Hyacinth who spoke first, she bent down and handed the rose to the girl, "Do you like it?"

The rose was dripping red and still wet with dew, having been unscrupulously picked by Sirius from some Muggle garden less than half an hour ago.

She didn't try to coax gently, but Ada had instinctively taken the rose from her hand.There was not a single thorn on it, which she pulled out just now while waiting.The girl twirled the rose absently, but her eyes drifted to the woman's face.

"Do you remember me?" the woman asked, stroking her warm cheek with a cold hand.

"Mom." She called softly, her eyes moved to the man's face hesitantly, "Dad?"

His mind went blank, and his planned lines were completely forgotten.

She had a panoramic view of his embarrassment, and after watching a good show, she whispered to her daughter: "Do you know what a father is most afraid of?"

Ada froze for a moment, shaking her head blankly.

"Father is most afraid of his daughter acting like a baby to him." She said slowly, "Just a hug is enough."

"Really?" Ada asked back, surreptitiously eyeing Sirius suspiciously.Facing a strange father, she needs more time to adapt.

Hyacinth touched the rose in her hand: "Of course. Your father picked this flower for you. Go and thank him."

Ada stepped forward obediently, and stretched out her arms to Sirius stiffly, perhaps because of nervousness, she didn't speak, but looked at him with bright eyes full of hope.

She had his eyes, as Hyacins said.

"Ada." Sirius' heart twitched slightly, "Long time no see."

The girl is small and soft, like a docile cub.When he patted Ada on the back, he heard her thank you softly in his ear.But as soon as he let go, she couldn't wait to go back to her mother to pray for the reward as if she had completed the task.

The mother and daughter reunite after a long absence, and the atmosphere is warm. As for the father who appears at the same time, it is not so important.

Remus stepped forward quietly, and called the visibly lost Sirius aside.

"This is for you." He secretly stuffed the locket to the other party, Sirius was startled, and cast an unbelievable look, obviously he knew what it was just from the sense of touch, "Mrs. Bamer said it was with her were sent together."

It turned out that it was not abandoned, nor was it forgotten.Instead, it was left to Ada.

"Today is not the time." Remus also had a lot of doubts, but he knew he had nothing to do here, "Let's talk about it later."
