Cannon Fodder's Struggle History

Dumbledore's headmaster's office is on the eighth floor of Hogwarts. Regulus followed Professor McGonagall to two strange stone monsters.

"Mars Chocolate Bar." Mag said the password while still maintaining a stern expression. Immediately afterwards, the two stone monsters jumped away, revealing a moving spiral staircase. At the end of the staircase was a shining door. wooden door.

"Hello, Mr. Black, would you like some cockroaches?" Dumbledore still looked amiable, wearing a purple robe with silver stars embroidered on it, very gorgeous, even a little childlike, he Pointing to a snack box on the table, the black chocolate cockroaches in the box seem to be real, crawling around.

Regulus took a curious look at this disgusting snack, but Voldemort resolutely refused to let him try it, so it was the first time he saw a pile of cockroaches.

"Thank you, Headmaster Dumbledore." Regulus nodded to Dumbledore, and after hesitating for a while, he picked up a cockroach and put it in his mouth.

Aside from moving around in your mouth, this one tastes like milk chocolate, no different than regular chocolate.

"It's delicious, but I like liqueur chocolate, and the one with hazelnut filling is also very good." After swallowing it, Regulus began to comment seriously.

"Oh! It's rare to have a child who has the same hobbies as me. This is just candy, with the sweetness of candy and some fun." Dumbledore laughed, and his crescent-shaped glasses twinkled.

Although this child is a Slytherin, he has a surprising innocence.

"Son, then what is the reason you came to see me today?" Dumbledore's wise blue eyes were always full of amiable kindness.

"Yes, Mr. Principal, I think you are a little too, um, tolerant of the friction or pranks between Hogwarts students." Regulus looked at Dumbledore calmly, and looked at him seriously. explain.

"Is it because I didn't punish the naughty Gryffindor? My child." Dumbledore was not angry, and his face still had a gentle look.

"It's not a question of punishment, sir." Regulus shook his head, and he said seriously: "The punishments that Hogwarts does for students who violate the school rules are deduction of points or confinement, but Mr. Principal, they I don't think I did anything wrong. Just like what happened today, if James Potter's torn apart spell really hit Sev and Lily's floating ball, sir, do you think the consequences are something he can bear? Even if it seems to you that it's just a prank."

Dumbledore tapped the table with his wand, and the pile of cockroaches crawling around and making rustling noises disappeared, followed by two cups of lemon tea. The gentle smile on his face did not change, but A little more dignified, he nodded for Regulus to continue.

"Mr. Headmaster, have you heard a story?" Regulus asked Dumbledore softly, "A story about a thief and his mother."

"No, child, but now I'd love to hear your story." Dumbledore was silent for a while, still shaking his head with a gentle smile.

"A child stole a writing slate from a classmate at school and took it home to his mother. Instead of criticizing him, the mother praised him for his ability. The second time he stole a coat and gave it to his mother. The mother was very satisfied. , praised him even more. As the years passed, the child grew into a young man, and began to steal bigger things. At last he was caught on the spot and sentenced to death. His mother followed, beating her breast and crying bitterly. At this time The thief said that he wanted to whisper a word to his mother. His mother immediately went up to her, but the son bit her ear hard and tore it off. His mother scolded him for being unfilial, and the crime of beheading was not enough. The mother was also disabled. The son said, "If you could have given me a good beating when I first stole the stone slab and gave it to you, how could I have ended up in such a sad end today, being taken to death?"" Lei Gu Les's voice was very calm, and even the tone of the storytelling did not have any ups and downs.

"Mr. Principal, I'm sorry to say that your tolerance and even connivance with those students who made mistakes ultimately brought them exactly such results." Regulus looked at Dumbledore calmly, without any "Every child has their moments of innocence, but innocence is not a reason for everyone to forgive them for doing something wrong. Mr. Dumbledore, when you pamper those children, please think about yourself first." As the headmaster of Hogwarts."

McGonagall stood aside, opening his mouth a little out of composure. Since Dumbledore defeated the dark wizard Grindelwald, his reputation has been in full swing, and he has never dared to speak to him in such an attitude.

For the first time, Dumbledore's expression became solemn. For him, his long life has made him tolerant of many things. Therefore, in his opinion, those naughty students of Gryffindor really It's just children, and their noisy and energetic appearance every day is his favorite.

Compared to the students of Slytherin House, he just felt sorry that these children learned the intrigue among pure-blood nobles early, and their premature maturity made them personable and in line with etiquette.

But now, the Slytherin kid told him, what you did was wrong.

Dumbledore fell silent, the smile on his face was a bit distressed, and his attitude towards Regulus was still gentle: "Thank you for your opinion, child, I will think about it carefully."

"I'm taking the liberty. Please forgive me, Mr. Principal." Regulus looked at the gray-bearded wizard. He was 91 years old. After a long time, the old man had almost nothing. His only goal now was It is to be able to protect the wizarding world and the children of Hogwarts.

It can be said that Hogwarts should be the only happiness that can bring this old man, but now he tells him that you are an unqualified headmaster.

Regulus suddenly felt that when he finished speaking, something suddenly disappeared from the great white wizard.

After leaving the principal's room, McGonagall glanced at Regulus with sternness in her eyes. She clearly felt that what the Slytherin boy said hurt Dumbledore.

However, as a professor, McGonagall is more qualified than Dumbledore, and she is more fair when dealing with students. Blaming students is obviously against her character, so in the end she just told Regulus: "Black , please go back to your dormitory, it's almost time to rest."

"Okay, Professor McGonagall." Regulus bowed and walked towards the Slytherin common room.

McGonagall quietly watched the boy disappear around the corner, then turned back to the principal's office.

Dumbledore was pouring the cloyingly sweet lemon tea into his mouth, and when McGonagall came in, he was able to wink at her, as if to say that he had nothing to do.

"Minerva, it looks like I'm a biased old man in that boy's heart." Dumbledore said cheerfully, seemingly unaffected by what Regulus said.

"No, Dumbledore, you are a great white wizard and the most respected headmaster." McGonagall immediately retorted without thinking.

"However, that boy is right, I should be fair." Dumbledore tugged at his long beard and blinked.

The kid's words made him realize that perhaps he shouldn't have indulged Gryffindor pranks and tricks like this.

Regulus walked down the stairs slowly, and when he reached the first floor, he saw Severus and Lily walking in together. Lily was holding a few books in her arms, and she was looking up at Sev to say something. With a joyful smile on his face, he became more and more sweet and pretty.

"Hi, Severus, Miss Evans." He greeted slowly, and Regulus felt that judging from the way the two of them got along, they should soon become a couple.

They are quite precocious, they are only in the third grade, 13 years old.

"Hello, Mr. Black." A trace of embarrassment and reluctance flashed in Lily's eyes, she didn't want to see Sirius' brother at all.

Regulus noticed Lily's uneasiness, his eyes flashed a little, and he said casually: "Then don't disturb your date, I'll go back first."

"Mr. Black, you misunderstood. Severus and I just went to the library to look up information. The papers assigned by the professor are too difficult. We used to discuss together like this before." Lily immediately dismissed that she appeared with Severus The reason, emphasizing her friendship with Severus.

Frowning, Regulus immediately understood that it was just a girl's trick.

In the past, Severus was gloomy, thin and out of gregarious, no matter how he looked at it, he would not be liked by girls, but after a holiday transformation, it was completely like transforming from a short and poor man to a tall, rich and handsome man.

For Lily Evans, then, it was immediately difficult to choose.

Severus pursed his lips, his voice was strangely silky and stiff: "Lily, it's getting late, I have to go back."

Well, compared to James who could please girls, Severus was really not romantic and considerate enough.

As if she was used to Severus' attitude, the sweet smile on Lily's face did not change at all, but nodded to the two of them, saying goodbye and leaving.

"Hey, Severus, you have to be gentle with girls in order to please them." Regulus poked Severus, looking very experienced.

Severus didn't speak, but walked silently down the passage to the basement.He didn't think there was anything wrong with that.

There is no doubt that he likes Lily. When he was at the end of Spider Alley, only this lively and lovely little girl was willing to be his friend.

But I don't know why, although I successfully asked Lily to play a lap in the playground today, my heart was not as happy as expected.

Is it just because Lily is not the only one in his heart?Severus was puzzled.
