[HP] Once Upon a Time in England

Meg had noticed Sirius from the day she became an intern in the Legal Division.

It was hard for her not to notice him.After all, all the single girls in the Ministry of Magic would get together to exchange information about this top handsome guy. They repeatedly checked his possible love partners, guessed the type he liked, and tried every means to strike up a conversation.

They all knew he had a fiancée who was murdered by Death Eaters, and it was rumored that he was obsessed with her.Meg had imagined the appearance of that lucky girl, and couldn't help substituting herself into her role, so she felt more and more that Sirius was an affectionate and gentle man - he was thinking of his lover who died young, and Constantly fighting Death Eaters for her, isn't that love or what?Meg envied this kind of hidden and deep love, she couldn't help but be infatuated with Sirius in her imagination, and she even envied the dead man, because she was destined to become the eternal white moonlight in his heart.

Every girl secretly wishes she could be the next to stand by Sirius' side, and Meg is no exception.

So when she heard that she had been lucky enough to be chosen to be Amelia Burns' assistant, she was literally ecstatic.

When she appeared in the same meeting with him for the first time, Meg even trembled with excitement. She stumbled and finished reading the report, and sat down under the slightly dissatisfied eyes of Ms. Burns.Opposite her was Sirius, as polite and distant as she had imagined, and Meg's heart pounded and her cheeks flushed as his gray eyes glanced inadvertently.

So Meg decided to attack him.

She handed over the note, but he ignored it.

She put on makeup and perfume, but he turned a blind eye.

She sent a well-prepared gift on the festival, and he returned it on the grounds that it was "inconvenient to be in the Ministry of Magic".

This was actually a very clear refusal, but Meg did not give up, and she would not give up as long as there was still a glimmer of hope.

One day, she waited at the bar and handed him a cocktail mixed with a special love potion.She nearly fainted with nervousness doing it—what if he found out that there was a love potion in the drink?What would he think of her?Did she never get another chance?

She watched as Sirius drank it, with no chance of regret, and she wavered between continuing and not continuing.Meg watched him and Remus Lupine walk towards the door of the bar. The love potion will take effect soon, and she has no time. According to the plan, she should step up and take Lupine away at this time, and then she can go smoothly took him away—

But she flinched suddenly, the thought was only fleeting, and Sirius was nowhere to be seen when Meg, who was sober, chased out the door.

Meg was annoyed and scared, and the next day she rushed to the Ministry of Magic to inquire if Sirius had come, but learned that he had suddenly returned to the Auror Command yesterday morning, and hadn't come out since then.

early morning?

Meg's heart sank.Is that what happened?

For many days after that, Sirius' side was calm. He came to the Ministry of Magic as usual, and even passed Meg as usual without looking at her.

Meg didn't know what happened, and she was a little disappointed.

But it’s actually not a big deal. It’s normal for Sirius to look down on her. He’s so nice, and there are many women who are interested in him. Meg doesn’t think she’s competitive, so it’s not surprising that she returned home in a bad way. .

It's also possible that Sirius just wants to focus on dealing with the Death Eaters now, and he has to take care of Harry Potter. These two things probably take up most of his time, so he doesn't plan to develop a relationship for the time being.Of course, he's in his 20s, he's still young, and he has plenty of time.

Ironically, this illusory self-consolation was shattered after more than a month - overnight, the entire Ministry of Magic knew that he had a pair of seven-year-old twin girls.

This is not true!

Meg was almost mad, but it was true.He frankly took the children to the Ministry of Magic to meet his familiar colleagues, and he took the trouble to introduce their names: his daughter was named Edharo, and her nickname was Ada. The name of his son also comes from the same source, his name is Weisen... I heard that the daughter looks more like him, very cute and beautiful, but the son has more of a father's temperament, and he looks very mature at a young age... As for the child In just one day, all kinds of gossip flew all over the Ministry of Magic.

Meg heard three distinct versions.In the first story, the children are the result of a one-night stand; in the second, his fiancée is pregnant when he is captured by the Death Eaters, and they let her have two children before they get married. Kill her; the third story is similar to the second, the only difference is that his fiancée has already married another person and has become a Death Eater.

This is so bizarre.Meg felt dizzy.She has no time to discern which version is more likely to be true, she only knows that she has been greatly shocked.Of course, she wasn't the only one whose heart was broken by it.Meg met Marlene McKinnon when she went to the Leaky Cauldron to get drunk that night. It was an open secret that this powerful member of the Order of the Phoenix had always been in love with Sirius. Many people even believed that if Sirius decided to enter the marriage hall one day, This work partner would be his first choice.

When Meg arrived, Marlene was already drunk, and she kept repeating a sentence to her friends: "She's back...she's back..."

Meg's heart skipped a beat, and she faintly saw the direction of the fourth story.

Later events confirmed Meg’s guess—Sirius admitted that Hyacinth White and Morgara Parkinson were the same person, and he was in front of all reporters and digital Ministry of Magic and Order of the Phoenix executives. told their story and made the surprise announcement that they would be getting married soon.

Meg was not sure whether she felt more pity or jealousy for this Miss White.Many people believed that Sirius no longer loved her, and their marriage was purely a stopgap measure to give their sensible child a better environment to grow up.After all, everyone knows what role she has played in the past few years, and they all know what kind of invisible activities are going on in White Castle... Leaving all this aside, what about her marriage to Parkinson?That was a long time of seven years, which man can say that he doesn't mind at all?

Of course, Meg privately felt that their union should be out of true love. After all, Sirius was under tremendous pressure after the news was released. If it was only for the sake of the child, he actually had many other choices.

But, on the other hand, their union was extremely hasty.There was no wedding and no public announcement, nor, as far as Meg knew, had any invitations been received by her colleagues in the Order.The marriage was terribly low-key, and the only proof of their marriage was the wedding ring on his left ring finger.

Later, gossip spread, saying that the wedding ring had an unusual name, Mobius.

Symbol of eternity.

The crush on Sirius just passed, and Meg didn't feel sad for a long time.Although she still had doubts about the drink mixed with the love potion, she quickly cheered up and went on with her life.

On a later occasion, Meg participated in a three-way meeting between the Legal Division, Auror Command, and the Order of the Phoenix.

The lengthy discussion lasted for more than two hours before finally taking a 10-minute break.Meg's hands were already sore from taking notes, and she left the conference room exhausted, planning to find an empty room to rest for a while.But when she passed the showroom of the Auror Command, she suddenly heard the childish voice.Meg was taken aback for a moment, and walked over unconsciously to look in through the crack of the door.

There were four people in the room - Sirius, Harry Potter, and two other children of Harry's age, a boy and a girl.There is no doubt that they are the twins.

At this moment, the girl pointed to a photo and asked, "Is this Uncle Moon Face?"

"Yes." Meg heard Sirius reply.

"Can I take a closer look?" He came over and picked up his daughter. Ada took a closer look at the photo, and then added a comment: "He hasn't changed at all!"

"What hasn't changed?" Sirius asked.

Ada happily replied: "Uncle Moon Face is exactly the same as he was ten years ago! He hasn't aged at all!"

"So you think I'm getting old?"

Ada turned her head and hugged her father's neck and kissed him on the face: "No! Dad is even more handsome."

"Hey!" Harry yelled suddenly, as if he had discovered a new world. "Look what we found!"

"Don't make any noise, Harry." Sirius reprimanded, and he put his daughter down. Ada immediately ran to the two boys. Her brother was holding a photo:

"A group photo of our parents!"

Ada and Harry made various comments on twitter, and Meg didn't know what was on the photo, but she soon heard a woman's voice: "I'm not from the Order of the Phoenix, they shouldn't put this photo Set it here."

"Mom, you're such a spoiler," Wesson said.

"I think we should take it, too," Sirius said, with a palpable smile in his voice. "I don't even know when they took this picture."

"Don't laugh," his wife ordered in a low voice. "I'm taking it away today."

"It's theft, Mrs. Black. Perhaps I should persuade them to frame it for everyone to see."

"Sires Black, how dare you—" She didn't finish, as her husband sealed her mouth with a crisp kiss.Amidst the children's screams and snickers, Sirius let her go: "After the meeting, can I take you to Diagon Alley for ice cream?"

"Don't fool me with this trick."

"You've been taking this trick."

"Mom, your face is blushing." Wesson reminded "kindly", in exchange for Harry's uncontrollable laugh, "Let's go to the next room and have a look, it's not suitable for children here."

"Whisson Black!" she cried, irritated, but the three children were running faster than the other.

"I said that although Wesson looks like you, he is more like me in his bones."

"Yes, I think he has perfectly reproduced the part of your genes that you hate. For example, if you are angry, you don't pay for your life..."

"But like his father, he corrects his mistakes and is willing to apologize."

"Oh? You have such a thick skin."

"You should know my thick skin." His voice gradually lowered, turning into a whisper between lovers, "Look, ten years have passed."

Meg softened her tone when she heard it: "Wesson and Ada didn't exist at that time."

"At that time we were just a pure cohabitation relationship."

"... Black!"

"Okay, I won't tease you." Sirius sighed, "I really hope they are still babies in swaddling clothes."

"why?"

"One, they're so annoying now; and two... I don't get a chance to see my own kids when they were kids."

"You have a lot of time watching them grow up, and you can later enjoy the scene of them scrambling to take care of their own children."

"That's different." He changed the subject, "Do you think we can consider having another child?"

"No." She flatly refused, "You have the ability to die by yourself, don't involve me."

"But if you don't cooperate, I will be powerless."

"Shut up, Blake, this is the Ministry of Magic!"

"so what?"

"Your children and godson are next door."

"What do you think I'm going to do?" Sirius smiled lowly, "I just want to kiss you."

She was silent for a moment: "The older you get, the less serious you become."

"You're thinking too much," Sirius said. "I'm going back to continue the meeting. I hope they can finish talking in an hour, so we still have time to go to Florin's to buy a few boxes of ice cream."

"Honey, you shouldn't be putting ice cream above the business of the Order."

"Even Edgar admits that this meeting is meaningless."

Meg quietly left and returned to the conference room, and Sirius also came in after a while.There was no difference in his expression. Judging by his calm and polite appearance, he really didn't look like someone who would hide in the showroom and molest his wife.

After the meeting, Meg walked into the showroom, where the Black family was no longer there.She walked to the place where the two boys were standing before, and after searching for a while, she finally found what she was looking for in a photo album——

An indoor photo, with a living room in the background, showing James Potter laughing, Lily Evans holding champagne, Remus Lupine applauding and a face A stunned Peter Pedirou.

But the heart of the picture is the two people kissing tightly: Sirius is around her waist, her arms are around his neck, neither of them closed their eyes, so Meg can easily be in their arms. The sparks of collision and instinctive desire can be seen in the eyes of each other.

Meg was no fool, she understood the meaning of this look.She still couldn't make out the face of the woman in the photo, but that didn't matter anymore.

[November 1978, 11, Sirius O'Lion Black's 1th birthday, photographed at his Greenwich home. 】

Meg couldn't think of a second reason besides love to make the desolate Sirius Black be stained with the mortal atmosphere of fireworks, ten years ago, and ten years later.

She was suddenly relieved, there were others in his heart, they were all a step late, that's all.
