[HP] S·M event book

【Zachary, you have to remember that no matter how honorable the surname Bryan is, you must always remember that someone can easily destroy it... Don't make the same mistake as that man. 】

Of course Zachary knew who the man his father was talking about was Saru Bryan, his uncle, a man who had been expelled from the family long ago.

The Bryan family has always been taboo to mention this name. For them, this is a shame.

But no matter what he did, he couldn't seal the mouths of outsiders - for them, this man was very famous.

Zachary heard that this man was very favored by Zachary's grandfather. When he was studying at Hogwarts, he won a lot of glory for Slytherin and the school. Everyone who knew him would praise him. .It may also be because of this aura, his personality is very uninhibited, what he does and what he says often makes people around him laugh and cry. Perhaps the only advantage is that he avoids the occurrence of such things as brothers fighting each other.In the end, the grandfather handed over the Blaine family to the father, which is not surprising at all.

After his grandfather died, although he was sad for a while, he recovered quickly, but this at least proved that he was not a heartless person.When his father was busy with the family affairs, he was idle around outside, prodigal, prodigal, and ruined endlessly. You can often see his father with a dark face helping him clean up the mess behind him. No amount of reprimands can correct him. personality.

The memory of Zachary when he was one year old can no longer be remembered, but after the man died, his father was drunk once and said sadly [He likes you very much, and he said that he would take you out to see him, it’s ridiculous... Can a one-year-old child tell the difference between a man and a woman? 】

After speaking, the father cried silently.

If you walk too much at night, you will encounter ghosts.

After wandering around for a long time, this demon king stumbled. If it was normal, everyone in the family would definitely applaud.But the problem is...

That woman is a Squib and a whore.

And he was going to marry her.

This incident caused an uproar, and no pure-blood noble could allow such a woman to tarnish the family tree.Just like before, no one can change what he decides. He only cares about himself and acts recklessly.

Even if he didn't see it with his own eyes, Zachary could imagine how serious the commotion was.

In the end, the man was expelled from the family, and disappeared in the magic world with the woman.Since then, the name Saru Brann has become a family disgrace.

After all, Zachary was taught strictly since he was a child, and he has nothing to do with this uncle.But even though he was a Hufflepuff, he knew the responsibilities of being Brann's sole heir.

Cedric once grabbed his arm in pity, showing a look of bitterness and hatred, 【Oh!uncle!You made me miserable! 】

Zachary is the only person around him who clearly knows about this matter. After all, they are good brothers, and they are used to spitting bitterness and stepping on each other-but this does not mean that they will not blow their hair, so he said, [No matter how miserable it is, it will be miserable. But you—that woman hasn't caught up yet? 】

So Cedric really became bitter at this meeting, [Don't mention it, I was caught first... The rival in love is very strong, so I can only retreat. 】

【Who? 】

Cedric looked around pretendingly, and whispered, 【Professor Black... I saw the two of them kissing. ] He paused, and then another curse word popped out.

Zachary patted him on the shoulder gloatingly, and decided to stop the stampede so as not to cause a bloodbath, so he said, 【Stand steady when I go to cast my name, I'll take a picture for you. ] As he spoke, he shook the camera in his hand.

Unexpectedly, Cedric frowned instead, and just when he was feeling strange, he said, 【Qiu Zhang came to me just now. 】

Zachary thought about it, and the so-called "just now" was when Cedric went to the bathroom. 【She blocked you in the boys toilet? 】

Cedric blushed a little, and said angrily, 【That's not the point! 】

He shrugged, [You continue. 】

[She told me not to participate in the Triwizard Tournament...] Cedric said, [If I still cherish my own life. 】

Zachary laughed, 【Are you scared? 】

【If you saw her expression at that time, you wouldn't say that. ] Cedric sighed.

[Everyone knows that this game is a gamble, but I believe in your strength. ] Zachary rolled his eyes, 【Brother, don't tell me you've changed your mind now. 】

【of course not! ] Cedric said firmly.

[How did you answer? 】

[Professor Moody appeared before I could speak, and then she ran away,] Cedric shrugged, and then said, [By the way, why didn't you participate? 】

This time it was Zachary's turn to frown, 【The old man strictly forbids me to participate. 】

The roles were reversed, Cedric patted his shoulder gloatingly, and then impatiently dragged him to the side of the Goblet of Fire. In front of him, he put the note on the top of the Goblet of Fire, and smiled wantonly, [Dude, put Let me look handsome and hang it on the ceiling of your room as hero worship! 】

Zachary sneered, pressed the shutter, and only took a picture of his hand and the Goblet of Fire. After the photo was developed, the two of them slammed into each other for a while.

Until Cedric took the risk to snatch the golden egg from the fire dragon, none of them took Cho Chang's words to heart.

#####

After the Christmas party, Zachary went home.

While he was discussing with his father about the Goblet of Fire's selection of four warriors, an unexpected visitor came.

— Saru Bryan.

The father didn't show any abnormality, and his face was still cold. The two of them didn't look like brothers who had reunited after a long time, but they were also a little bit better than their enemies.

He wasn't the same person Zachary had imagined—unsmiling and lifeless.

Then Zachary noticed another person - a little blond girl standing behind him with her head buried, her whole body was also lifeless.

Father didn't speak up, of course he wouldn't make his own claims, this is the difference between an heir and a person in power.

The two of them were in a stalemate, and neither of them spoke.

In the end, his father asked him to take the little guest to the guest room first.

Zachary nodded respectfully towards the legendary uncle, but when she was about to hold the little guest's hand, she flinched back.

[She is very afraid of life. 】The uncle whispered, then patted her head, and said gently, 【Sai La, you go to rest first... Don't worry, you won't be asked to practice spells anymore. 】

【Enough is enough for me! ] Father suddenly roared.

The uncle was taken aback for a while, and said with a half-smile, 【Who do you think she is? 】

The father frowned, and was about to say something, when suddenly he pursed his mouth tightly, his expression turned very bad, and after a while, he bowed respectfully to the girl—even though she couldn't see it.

Zachary then leaves with the girl.

She didn't raise her head to say a word, Zachary walked forward slowly holding her cold hand, and stopped at the door of a room, before he could say anything, the girl quickly shook off his hand, opened the door, and then said nothing. He closed the door mercilessly.The speed was so fast that Zachary wondered if he was a fungus-carrying species.

In the next few days, Zachary only saw the girl once. When he passed by the study, he saw his uncle hugging her on his lap and holding a story book in his hand. He looked very gentle, but she kept facing her. He stared blankly at a corner of the room.Reminds Zachary of the dolls that were popular among lower grade girls for a while.

During the usual meals, it was also the uncle who brought the food specially prepared by the house elf into the room. It seemed that no one else could get close to him except him, but his father had no objection to this, so Zachary guessed that the girl should be of noble status. .I rarely see my uncle at ordinary times, and basically he and his father will not appear on the same occasion.

Christmas passed quickly, and the day Zachary went back to school, he said goodbye to his father as before.After wandering around for a while, I found him in the garden... Huh?And that man.The two seem to be arguing.

[I know what you are thinking!Cancel me quickly! 】

【……I do not know what you're talking about. 】

[Listen to me!That person is not something you can bring down! 】

【Hmph... That's not necessarily the case. 】

【Saru, calm down!If you fail, you are dead!It will also drag the whole family down!That woman has been dead for so long, what should have passed has long since passed. 】

[Don't worry, I've been expelled a long time ago, even if I want to settle the score, I won't find Brian, not to mention that what he needs most now are supporters... I just want to come to see you this time, and I'll leave tomorrow. 】

After finishing speaking, the man stepped forward and hugged his father, said something in a low voice, then turned and left, leaving his father standing there alone in a daze, without moving for a long time.

Zachary hesitated for a moment, made some noise on purpose, and walked out after seeing his father straighten his back again, said a few farewell words and left—he pretended not to see his father's reddish face Eye.

After returning to school, it continued to start the top three... hmph, the top four Warriors Tournament.

In the second task, Cedric fished him out of the water, and when he woke up, he said triumphantly, 【Hey, brother, you are the most important person to me, are you touched? 】

After figuring out what happened, Zachary's first reaction was to kick him back into the water and watch him flop around, 【You try holding it down for an hour!I will impress you too! 】

Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught sight of the oriental girl next to her—she was looking at Cedric in the water with a weird look. Zachary didn't like that look very much, as if she was looking at a terminally ill patient.So he walked over and said coldly, 【Since you have a boyfriend, don't provoke him. 】

She froze for a while, smiled wryly, and when she was about to say something, she froze suddenly, staring at his back, then lowered her head, and said hastily, [——don't touch the trophy. ] and left.

Zachary turned around, and there was Professor Moody standing behind him, and that piercing eyeball was staring at her back for a moment.It's kind of weird in that way - like staring at prey, ready to pounce on it and kill it... It's weird.

After Cedric climbed up, he wrapped himself in a blanket and asked, 【What did she just say? 】

Zachary absently repeated the original words, Cedric frowned, muttered something inexplicable and walked away.

When the third task was held, Zachary sat with the Diggory couple, and the three of them guessed what was in the maze while discussing where Cedric should take him to celebrate after he got the trophy.The wait was excruciating, but the three of them were extremely excited at this moment, as if they believed that Cedric Diggory would definitely be the champion—he had the ability.Zachary touched the pocket watch in his pocket - it was something Cedric had been pestering him for three years and hadn't gotten it. This time it was a bargain for him.

When Cedric and Harry Potter appeared at the same time, cheers broke out, and Mr. Diggory rushed down the audience, but halfway through, screams rang through the night sky——

【--he died! 】

[—Cedric Diggory!died! ! 】

Something exploded in his head with a bang, and Zachary felt his ears buzzing, and the screaming and screaming became noisier with the screams around him, and there was nothing but whiteness in front of him.

The sharp pain in his chest brought him back to his senses, and he jumped out of the auditorium, rudely pushed away the people around him, and yelled at them to get away.

Finally, he saw Cedric lying stiffly on the grass, motionless—there was still a look of surprise on his face, as if he would jump up and yell at him the next moment, [We are buddies!Don't scare me! 】

The Digorys rushed past him and threw themselves on the body, crying out in grief.

Surrounded by people, Zachary felt as if he was about to suffocate.

[Trophy... Port key...]

The pupils contracted suddenly, Zachary froze, and suddenly looked around, frantically looking for something from the crowd, and after a while, he saw Qiu Zhang standing in the crowd - she covered her mouth tightly, burst into tears.

He managed to order himself to move, but before he had taken a few steps, he saw Black take her away.

He stared blankly at their leaving backs, and then turned his head to look at the weeping Diggory couple. From this angle, they blocked the corpse tightly.

Zachary suddenly realized an absurd but terrifying fact——

Cedric is dead.

#####

After that, many things happened, such as the savior "spreading rumors" that the mysterious man came back, Dumbledore listened to the savior's words, and... but these had nothing to do with him. Locked himself at home and didn't even go to the funeral.The father did not express dissatisfaction with this,

Looking at the exquisite pocket watch and the photo holding the note, Zachary still couldn't believe that the man died just like that.Thoughts are always wandering in doubt and determination.This was the second time he had faced death directly. The first time was when his grandfather died. He was still young and didn't remember much of it.But... Cedric, the two of them are notoriously good brothers and good buddies. They are together almost every day at Hogwarts. Even on holidays, they would visit each other's house from time to time... Why did they suddenly disappear?

Inexplicable thoughts confused Zachary's head, so when his father broke into the door, he didn't react for a while.

[Clean up yourself!quick!hurry up! 】My father ordered sharply, his face pale and full of panic.Then he rushed to the wardrobe, picked out a set of wizard robes and threw them into his arms.

Zachary put the pocket watch and photos on the bed, and asked lightly while changing clothes, 【What's wrong? 】

Father walked quickly around the room a few times, taking out his pocket watch to check the time from time to time, and didn't stop until he changed his clothes.Staring at him for a long time, he took a deep breath and slowly rolled up his left sleeve—【He is back. 】

Zachary gasped, staring at the ferocious Dark Mark with wide eyes.

【understood? 】Father asked in a cold voice.

He nodded blankly.

His father grabbed his hand and rushed out of the room, [Don't talk unless you are asked... No matter what he did, you have to bear it, and you must not take any action, understand? 】

Walking into the grove outside the manor, his father drew out his wand and couldn't wait to apparate him.

After the dizziness and vomiting disappeared, his father dragged him to a dilapidated old house. His father stood at the door tremblingly, arranging his clothes tremblingly, and knocked on the door lightly.

Zachary tensed and stood aside.

A man who looked a bit like a mouse opened the door. He glanced at his father gloatingly, and then turned sideways to let them in.

Zachary saw the man sitting in the middle at a glance—the pair of scarlet eyes full of violence and blood made people shudder, and he could hardly breathe with just one glance.

Father stepped forward, knelt in front of him on one knee, and kissed the corner of his robe reverently.Zachary also knelt aside.

He squinted his eyes, leaned lazily on the back of the chair, and said after a while, 【Jaden, I have some regrettable news for you. 】

Father hung his head and did not speak.

He waved his hand at a woman, who immediately let out a sharp laugh, then waved her wand towards the corner of the room, a corpse floated out, and when she moved to her father's side, she immediately retracted her wand, strange screams and corpses The sound of landing sounded at the same time.

— Saru.

[It's unfortunate, isn't it?jayden. 】 He said lazily.

The father froze and made a dry voice, 【If... If he upsets you, then he deserves death. 】

[Unhappy? ] He raised his voice slightly, as if he had heard something ridiculous, 【It's a bit... He almost killed me for a dirty bastard. ] When the last syllable landed, there was already faint anger.

The father trembled for a moment, and quickly said, 【He really deserves to die. 】

He sneered and said [He is your only younger brother. 】

【--No! 】The father denied it in horror, he took two deep breaths, and said, 【There is absolutely no such person in the Blaine family, he has long been famous in the family tree. 】

He raised the corners of his eyes with interest, and didn't speak for a moment. The mouse-like man hunched over and said obsequiously, [It's true, the scandal of the Bryan family has been raging for a while. 】

Scattered laughter rang out.

He narrowed his eyes, [Go out. 】

Those wearing black cloaks left immediately as if they had been cast with the Imperius Curse.

There were only three of them left in the huge living room.

He drew out his wand, and suddenly struck the Cruciatus Curse into his father's body, and a mournful howling sounded immediately.

【You should be thankful that he chose the right time. 】He said coldly, 【When the Bryan family was still valuable. 】

Father tremblingly said, 【Please... please forgive Brian. 】

He sneered, 【Jaden, do you think that with the power of the Bryan family, you can make demands in front of me? 】

With a pale face, the father knelt on the ground humbly and said, 【No... I just don't want to lose my allegiance to you because of insignificant people. 】

Satisfied with the answer, he fiddled with his wand, pointed the end at Zachary at last, and said [including him? 】

This wand could cast the Killing Curse at any time, and Zachary tensed up, remembering his father's words firmly in his mind, and dared not make a sound or move.

【Brian, I will always be loyal to you. 】Father said firmly.

The author has something to say: Calvin is so ecstatic, I finally got the plot going~

By the way, the cultural design will really make people hard~QAQ

PS: Saru is Saila's mentor, you probably haven't forgotten it~
