[HP] Once Upon a Time in England

A girl with dyed blue hair is gossiping with her best friend about her ungrateful ex-boyfriend.Hyacinth absentmindedly took her coffee and sandwich and walked out of the shop.

"Hey, wait!"

She turned her head, then sighed resignedly: "Hello."

"Have you been avoiding me these two days?" Carl Burns asked.

"No." Hyacinth lied, "I didn't see you in class today."

"I did skip a few classes, but I really went today." Carl walked forward side by side with her with his hands in his pockets naturally, "Are you going home?"

"Yeah." She wondered if she should explain to Carl the nonsense she said the other day when she was drunk.

"It's Friday, don't you go and see your kids?"

This is a personal topic.She frowned, and said vaguely: "In two days."

"They will miss you." Carl said with deep understanding. "My brother and I haven't seen each other for a while. We happened to meet each other two days ago. Only then did I realize that I really miss that kid."

"Really? Is he still studying at Hogwarts?"

"I have already graduated, and there is not much age difference between us. Although we often had conflicts over small things when we were young, when we grow up, we gradually feel that he is actually not bad. Weird brotherly relationship, right?"

Hyacinth laughed perfunctorily a few times.She instinctively wanted to keep a distance from Carl, perhaps in order not to destroy Edgar's majestic and stable image in her heart: "That's right, I thought about it for a few days, and I think I still need to clarify with you the drunken words I said that night. Please Don't take them seriously?"

He seemed very lost: "Oh...why?"

"Because that's drunken talk."

"But I really want to take it seriously." Carl shook his head. "At least we can try, right?"

Hyacins wished she had misunderstood him: "You don't want to date me, do you?"

"I think it's totally okay! It's not bad to even develop a relationship." Carl said happily.

"No." Hyacinth shook her head.

"why?"

"you are too young."

Carl's eyes widened in surprise: "I'm only two years younger than you!"

"But I'm already a mother of two and you—"

"What's the big deal, it's already 1987!" Carl walked a few steps to stop her, and continued quickly, "You can refuse me, but I don't accept such reasons. How about it, next Tuesday Let's go on a formal date after class. If you think it's really impossible, then reject me, okay?"

Hyacinth is stuck on a tiger: "I think..."

"Do you think it's okay? Then it's settled." Carl vowed, "I promise you will have a perfect date!"

"Cough." After hesitating for a long time, Wesson decided to get Sirius' attention, "I have a question for you."

Sirius was exhausted from heavy housework: "Ask."

"Why doesn't Hogwarts teach students the Dark Arts?"

He shook his hand, and the dishes were almost smashed to pieces.Fortunately, he was prepared, so he wouldn't be too surprised. Sirius calmed down quickly, and asked in a flat tone: "Why do you ask that?"

"I read some information about Durmstrang in this book. Not only do they not accept Muggle-born students, but they also teach students black magic in the school." Wison held up the book called "European The bibliography of "A Survey of Magic Schools", "Durmstrang has also produced notorious alumni like Grindelwald, but they are still very tolerant of black magic. Why can't Hogwarts follow them?"

Sirius pulled out two chairs and motioned Wesson to sit down opposite him: "Do you think it's a good thing or a bad thing not to accept Muggle-born students?"

"Of course it's a bad thing."

"why?"

"It's too stupid to deny a person's magical talent based on bloodline alone. Durmstrang may have missed many potential students because of this. I guess this is also the main reason for the decline of this school?"

Sirius breathed a sigh of relief. At least Vincent is not a pure-blood. This is good news: "Then tell me why you think black arts should be taught in schools?"

"Because white magic is less powerful than black magic. The Avada Kedavra Curse is deadly, the Cruciatus Curse makes life worse than death, the Imperius Curse prys into secrets, and the three major curses have their own strengths, but as far as I know you white magic None of the magic spells used by wizards can cause such a huge damage." Wison said clearly, "If students learn black magic, at least they can fight back in an emergency later. And understand black magic It means they know how powerful they are, so they may be more cautious."

"You have a point. But generalizing black magic means more people have access to it, which means more people will use it to do illegal things. Maybe most people will still stay away from it , but just a small number of people who are willing to explore black magic in depth may bring great shocks to the wizarding world. Human nature cannot be tested, Wesson." Sirius paused for a moment, "As for the lethality you mentioned, it involves to a theory proposed by Dumbledore."

Wesen really frowned: "Huh?"

"He believes that killing, hurting and cruelty will defile the soul and make it no longer pure. Some ancient books also believe that mass killing will bring strong reactions to the caster."

"This sounds like..." Wesson's lips moved for a moment, "Philosophy."

"Yes, you probably can't understand it now. But you don't think it's a good thing to kill people?"

"No." Wesson shook his head. "Although you are right, I still think it is an arbitrary decision to exclude black magic from the curriculum."

"You can continue to think about this question." Sirius didn't expect to change Wesson's mind in a short time, "By the way, think about your ideal of becoming a master of black magic."

"Do you support me?" Wesen asked immediately.

Sirius was silent for a moment, his brain was spinning rapidly, and finally he decided to take the risk: "If you can control yourself and use black magic correctly as you said, then theoretically it is not impossible."

After all, things are not static, and opinions are constantly being raised.

Not everything dies the way it was born.

Everyone is not necessarily what he used to be when he leaves.

Wesson's words reminded him of someone:

Peter Pedirou.

-1978-

"What is this?" He had just finished a long-distance mission, and when he returned home, he found Hyacinth writing at her desk, with several neatly cut parchments lined up in front of her.

"Hey, don't move! That's the recipe I just copied." Hyacinth slapped the back of his hand. Sirius felt the pain, and withdrew his hand a little aggrieved:

"What are you doing this for?"

"Peter gave it to me. Surely you don't know that he is a master of cooking?" Hyacinth raised her head and showed off with a smile, "The days when you were not at home I lived a fairy life."

James had a family, and Remus was so busy that he was in the dark, so Peter was often entrusted by him to come and keep Hyacinth company when Sirius was away from work.Although this idea was proposed by Sirius himself, he suddenly felt that Peter seemed to be getting too close to his girlfriend: "That's all he can do."

"Don't be so mean!" Hyacinth glared at him, "I think Peter is fine."

"I don't like it when you praise him."

"Oh, well." She sighed, "Someone is jealous again."

He didn't take his evaluation of Peter to heart. After kissing her, he went to take a shower and change clothes. When he came out, Hyacinth had already arranged the things on the table: "Actually, you should treat Peter better."

"We're good enough for him." To be honest, Sirius never looked down on Peter, but he didn't see a problem with that. "We made him one of the coolest raiders, and if it weren't for us he would be just A submissive object to be bullied."

Hyacinth raised her eyes and glanced at him: "I used to be the only one who was bullied in Slytherin."

Sirius choked, knowing that he had made a slip of the tongue, but he still refused to budge: "You are different from him."

"It's nothing different." She was obviously upset, "You guys treat Peter like Cornelia treats me, just playing with them as a kindness. Friends in name are actually just looking for a follower—— "

"No, no, we're not the Slytherin group." Seeing her depressed, Sirius quickly gave in, "Let's invite Peter over for dinner this weekend. I promise I'll treat him better in the future, and I'll Will persuade James, will you?"

Under his sweet talk, Hyacinth finally showed her smile again.Sirius was immersed in the joy of resolving the crisis, but he didn't really put his words into practice.

After that, his and James' attitudes towards Peter did not change, and Peter seemed to have long been accustomed to their condescending attitude.

Until night fell on October 1981, 10.

It turned out that everything had been foreshadowed long ago.
