[HP Deer Dog] Speed ​​and Magic

Sirius looked up at the tall black concrete platform in front of him. He didn't know what it was for, but he knew it was very tall.Especially, for a seven-year-old, it was almost too high.Sirius said hesitantly: "This is what you said is not difficult? Let me climb up?"

James showed an aggrieved expression, his bright eyes were as moist as if he had sprinkled a handful of diamonds, and he muttered: "I thought it would be easy for elves. Not to mention there are ladders."

Sirius did see the ladder erected on the concrete platform. It is estimated that some repairman set it up here and walked away, but even if there is a ladder, it is still a little... Thinking, his sleeve was caught by a pair of small hands, turned his head, and saw James looked like he was about to cry, and he said pitifully, "Can't you?"

……

Sirius was silent.Although the other party's appearance made him feel a strange sense of guilt.

James lowered his head in disappointment and shook his shoulders: "There are things elves can't do. Forget it, me, I don't want you anymore."

"Wait, wait." Stimulated by this aggressive method, Sirius couldn't help interrupting him, showing a stiff smile unbearably: "No problem, this kind of thing is nothing at all."

"Really?" James looked at him suspiciously.

"Of course it's true." Sirius said confidently: "It's [-]% true."

James smiled through his tears, raised his head and wiped his face indiscriminately: "Well, I believe in you, then you go up."

After a period of time, Sirius often mentioned this incident. He said that he had never realized that James was a little devil in child's clothing as clearly as when he met for the first time.

But James retorted with a smile: "That's also because I am a hard-working and capable person. I held back the laughter until my shoulders were shaking."

In fact, James never said that when they first met, because Sirius sitting on the tree looked very beautiful, he really thought he saw an elf. As for the prank, he suddenly thought of it after saying hello.

"After all, it's a little boy who likes to tease someone he likes."

In short, the thing is, when Sirius climbed up the platform with fear and fear, and was comforting himself that the ladder was strong enough, the innocent-looking little boy below showed an evil smile and tried his best to Knocked over the ladder.

Sirius watched dumbfounded as the ladder fell to the ground, while James jumped up and down, clapping his hands and laughing as if he had received a Christmas present.

"You—" Sirius waved his arms down angrily, James showed a sly expression, turned his face and pointed to his ear, indicating that Sirius was standing at such a high place that he couldn't hear what he was saying What.Then he started running back.

"You're finished!" Sirius lay down on the platform and yelled with all his strength: "After I get down, you're finished!"

"You can't come down." While running, James triumphantly turned his head and smacked his mouth, still smiling. If Sirius thought that smile was like sunshine just now, but now, he just thinks it's unscrupulous. An unbuttoned satanic smile from hell.

"You're dead!" Sirius gritted his teeth and swore viciously, whether he was an angel or Satan, if he dared to plot against the genius little wizard Sirius Black, then he'd better hurry up and say his prayers and write his will, because the angry genius The wizard will not let him go, never!

Sirius squinted his eyes, but at this height, the magic factor in his body would not be taken into account.

James had already run away laughing, and it seemed that he was totally planning to leave Sirius behind and let him have a good time on the platform in fear.It's just that James inadvertently turned his head again, and was shocked to find that Sirius fell straight down from that platform.

"what--?!"

"--what?!"

Two exclamations came out at different times, one was from James when the furious Sirius decided to jump off, and the other was from when Sirius found himself falling into James' arms.

That's right, just like teleportation, James, who was still a hundred meters away just now, went under Sirius and caught him in an instant, but he fell to the ground under the weight of his arms.

Surprised, Sirius did not forget to rub James' hair hard, pressing his body to prevent him from getting up.Don't look at Sirius' young age, he knows exactly what revenge means.

The two boys rolled into a limp ball on the ground and attacked each other, nothing more than rubbing their hair and grabbing their clothes. It was more like two puppies fighting than a fight.Finally they were all tired and stopped panting.

"Damn it." Sirius was still breathing unevenly, "You'd better explain it to me...how dare you lie to me..."

James still couldn't stop laughing: "You...you lied to me too, you're not an elf..."

Sirius retorted: "Not because of you..."

James interrupted him, poised the tip of his nose arrogantly: "Anyway, you were playing tricks at the time, I knew it when I saw it."

Sirius couldn't help scratching the opponent's nose hard, only to feel more relieved, and being infected by James' laughter, he couldn't help laughing wantonly.

The two children didn't stop laughing until they couldn't stop laughing, and looked at each other, this time looking and exploring with real curiosity and wholeheartedness.

"So you, too?" asked Sirius first.

"What is it?" James asked puzzled.

Sirius observed his expression carefully and found that the other party really didn't understand, so he said frankly: "Are you a wizard too?"

"Wizard?" James blinked and smiled: "Is it a wizard this time? Do you want to play that trick again?"

"No." Sirius shook his head, stood up and patted the ashes on his clothes: "It's a wizard, it's your ability, it really exists. It's like this."

Sirius thought for a while, and thought of a way to let James fully understand the magic of magic.

He took James' hands, and James looked at him with wide eyes, as if trying to crack a joke again.Sirius hurriedly said solemnly: "Be serious, let me show you."

James considered for a moment, and finally shut his mouth obediently.

"Calm down—" Sirius said in a long childish voice.

"Close your eyes—" James closed his eyes.

Sirius bowed his head and read a few words silently, and then said: "Open your eyes——"

James opened his eyes.

The world suddenly changed when he opened his eyes.

He saw countless colorful and gorgeous light spots flying around, surrounding and embellishing every inch of the space occupied by him and Sirius, filling his entire field of vision, like countless stars falling around them in the night sky, beautiful like a A dream in a fairy tale.

"It's so beautiful." After a while, James said blankly, "You're an elf? Really?"

Sirius burst into laughter: "Who said I lied to him just now?"

"But……"

Seeing James' ignorance, Sirius spread his hands helplessly: "Oh, please, haven't you ever heard your parents talk about wizards?"

James shook his head. Before he met Sirius, he always thought that wizards, elves, and magic were all fairy tales, and they were all things to deceive children.

"Then, do your parents know about your ability to run fast?" Sirius continued to ask.

"Yes. Mom said it was a gift from God. So I want to thank God." James puffed out his chest proudly.

"...It's thanks to Merlin."

"So, you are the gifted type among ordinary people." After confirming that James and his parents did not know anything about the magic world, Sirius folded his arms and nodded: "Not bad."

Then, he explained to James the world of wizards, the history of magic, and of course, the greatest school, Hogwarts.

James kept his dreamy expression from beginning to end.After listening to Hogwarts, he immediately said excitedly: "So, when we are ten years old, we will receive Hogwarts admission letters?"

"Of course. It is the best magic school." Sirius nodded proudly: "There are four houses in it, Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff." With a smirk, he teased James: "You are not brave and smart, you will definitely not be able to enter Gryffindor and Ravenclaw, and you are not pure blood, you will definitely not be able to enter Slytherin, haha, it seems that you are going to Hufflepuff, the most characterless house ever."

James ignored him, but hurriedly asked: "So, then I don't have to go to ordinary schools anymore?"

"Of course not." Sirius looked at him inexplicably: "We were all wizards then, why should we learn from ordinary people? Don't you want to?"

James laughed: "No, no, no, I just thought, great, I hate boring schools so much, and I'm going crazy to hear Dad say that I have to stay under the same system in different schools for 17 years. Now, Great! Isn't Hogwarts interesting? Tell me about it."

After speaking, James showed that shiny "pleading" expression again, and Sirius immediately grinned unbearably and compromised.He didn't know that for many years to come, both of them would be like this.Even if Sirius could come up with more and more clever pranks than James, even if he could make a senior who was much taller than him cry in the future without changing his face, but as long as James did it, he would be right.It sounded weird, but even Sirius couldn't figure out how it was that he kept losing out to the other side time and time again.

In order to appease James, Sirius told all the things he knew about Hogwarts in one breath, including the moving stairs, the constantly changing classrooms, floating ghosts, and moving portraits... James listened With relish, he kept urging, "And then? Then?"

Until Sirius became dry, James still remained in high spirits. It seemed that the two years in ordinary schools had really suffocated him.In the end Sirius had to remind him of the time.

"Oops!" James exclaimed in a low voice before noticing the passage of time after being reminded, "I'm going home late, and my parents will definitely be anxious. I skipped class."

Sirius was not surprised by this at all: "Then let's go back quickly."

James took his hand and said hastily, "You, will you come to me again?"

Sirius was surprised instead, and he realized at this moment, Merlin, this is... have I made friends?

His mood immediately turned from cloudy to sunny, and he happily assured James: "I will definitely go to your school to find you, and I will show you my flying broom and moving pictures. I also collected a lot of chocolate frogs." card from..."

Sirius repeatedly assured that he would go to find James, and James reluctantly let go of his hand and ran towards home at the highest speed.

James' maximum speed - Sirius felt only a gust of wind blowing his hair, and then James became a small black spot in the distance, further and further away...

"Can a person who doesn't know magic be able to use it like this? Can he run so fast without reciting spells?" Sirius was a little puzzled. His intuition felt that something was wrong, but he quickly put the feeling of something wrong in his mind. Finally, after all, he doesn't know much about magic talent.

"Oops... how should I go back..." regained his senses, Sirius was in a cold sweat facing the long journey home.He knew that a violent storm would inevitably come home this time.

When Sirius sneaked home, it was completely dark. He carefully turned over the window and hurriedly arranged the clothes that were irreparably dirty. When he entered the dining room, he found that Mrs. Black had brought Thunder A stormy expression sat there waiting for him.And Regulus sat on the side with his head lowered dejectedly, without even looking up at Sirius.

Sirius secretly swallowed his saliva, the current Mrs. Black looks more terrifying than Soul Eater, but it doesn't mean he has to be afraid

Frightened, he still walked into the dining room with his body upright and his head held high, and explained to Mrs. Black that he was hiding in the flowers and fell asleep.

"Regulus also knows, doesn't he? Rael?" Sirius dragged out witnesses, and hoped that Regulus could be more reliable this time.

Regulus raised his head when he heard his name, but seeing Mrs. Black's gloomy expression, his body trembled, and he immediately lowered his head again, and whispered, "I don't know, my brother left me behind. .”

……I knew it.Sirius rolled his eyes secretly, and was sad to see that Mrs. Black looked even angrier.

In the end, it was over when he was fined not to eat.

But at Potter's house, it was a different scene.

When James slowed down and rushed into the house, his mother was busy with dinner in the kitchen. James plunged into his mother's arms and quickly admitted his mistake: "Sorry, Mom, I'm late today."

"Did you have too much fun outside?" Mrs. Porter, who was over 50 years old, stopped what she was doing and looked at her young child lovingly.

"Yeah." James nodded vigorously and made a grimace: "I made a great friend. He said I was a wizard."

Mrs. Potter was amused: "Wizard, that's great." Then, she seemed to think of something, and said with some concern: "Did you show him your special ability?"

"Yeah." James nodded vigorously again, and said cheerfully, "He's not afraid, and he said he would come to me again."

Mrs. Potter smiled. She knew how much trouble this ability had caused James among her peers, so when James finally made friends, she felt relieved and said encouragingly, "Thank God. You See, good things always happen."

"So Mom, since I'm going to be a wizard soon, can I skip school tomorrow?" James answered immediately.

"No. Well, be obedient. Go to the restaurant to find your father, and mother still has to cook."

Jaime pursed his lips, and let go of his hand listlessly.

Mrs. Potter smiled helplessly in the kitchen. Her too-young son had even found a bunch of more exaggerated reasons for not going to school, so no matter how much she doted on this child, her attitude at this time was completely unacceptable.But for some reason, little James' loss this time seems to be greater than ever before.Mrs. Potter couldn't figure it out, of course, because it never occurred to her that James had already decided that sooner or later he would go to magic school.

But Mrs. Potter didn't need to worry too much about James' emotions, because when he walked to his father, James remembered the agreement with Sirius, so he became happy again.
