[HP] Magic didn't give up on you

At eight o'clock in the evening, Dorothy rushed into the library and caught Isaac who was still studying a thick book with great concentration.Isaac didn't struggle, he put away the book and followed her, flipping through a roll of parchment while walking, pondering for a while looking at the questions on it.

"I have sorted out nineteen questions to ask." He said, "Do you think I can finish the questions before the curfew today? If not, please remind me in time to ask the godfather to issue a list and allow me to return to the dormitory after the curfew. But if he tonight If it’s not just asking us to eat supper, maybe we don’t have to go back to the dormitory, it depends on the situation.”

"If you can remember to come here earlier, maybe you can finish the question." Dorothy complained, pulling his parchment for a few glances, and after realizing that it was a waste of time to read such esoteric questions, she was in a hurry He tossed the parchment back into Isaac's arms, as if holding on for a while would make him look like a fool against the halo of the parchment.

"How come you have so many difficult things to study?" Dorothy couldn't help asking, "Do you think these things are interesting?"

"Of course." Isaac said clearly, and asked her in turn, "It's not very meaningful to figure out what you don't know, to know more than others in more obscure and difficult fields, and to go further. ?"

"Knowledge is unlimited and limitless," said Dorothy. "Perhaps it is meaningful, but I think you may not be so anxious? The life of a wizard is longer than that of a Muggle, and there are many ways to extend life. If you want, you can even continue to exist as a ghost like Professor Binns, and study the knowledge that fascinates you forever, no need to rush for a while."

Isaac turned his head and glanced at her.

"I'm not particularly eager," he said. "I know I still have a lot of time, but I don't want to waste it now. That's what you want to tell me? You've been hesitating to me lately, It's like trying to remind me that I'm embarrassed to suddenly have three eyes."

Dorothy: "...I thought I was being tactful... Well, forget it, I know I can't hide it from you. So did you hide anything from me, Isaac? I'm only giving you this one chance , Don't you say I'm going to be angry, we said we can't cheat and fool each other, we are twin siblings who have been together since we were never born."

"But when you grow up, everyone will have their own affairs, which may not be kept secret, but they will not be shared in detail." Isaac said calmly, not wavered by her question, "So you want to Know what? Or, what secret do you think I have kept from you?"

Dorothy stopped and stood staring at him.She grabbed her brother's wrist, forcing him to stop and look at her.

"What dangerous experiment are you doing in violation of school rules?" She asked in a low voice, looking at his eyes with intense focus, "I haven't told Mom and Dad—but you have to give me a reason, what exactly do you want to do? That dangerous Tom is saying what you're doing is dangerous—"

"You believe his instigation, but don't trust your brother?" Isaac asked her calmly. "Besides, violating school rules doesn't seem to be a particularly serious matter. Fred and George violated almost twenty rules last year."

"That's not what I meant!" Dorothy froze for a moment, then frowned even deeper, "Don't take people for fools, Isaac! I know the boundaries you've crossed aren't the same as George Fred's! Dad Mom gave us enough freedom. If it is just research that is slightly beyond your age, Dad will choose to support you and give you the necessary protection and guidance. You didn't even tell him what research you were doing, did you? I also know that what you want to study will not be allowed!"

"It's not that I don't know if I don't tell Dad." Isaac said calmly, "Professor Snape will tell Dad about every book I borrowed. I even doubt that Godfather Sean knows. They didn't take the initiative to interfere. , apparently still think things are within their control."

Dorothy opened her mouth, thought for a moment, frowned and said, "That's different, Isaac. It's their business what they think, and you should obviously go and tell them what you're doing. I don’t have the strength to do independent research—”

"Yes, I know Dad is an excellent master of spells." Isaac interrupted her, shaking his head, "He and his friends, Professor Snape, Godfather, Sirius, Remus, Very capable, but they haven't had any good solutions to my situation these years. If there was, I would have gotten rid of the embarrassing situation now, so I can only try to study by myself. People should always have Knowing more, I don’t think it’s a bad thing.”

"Why don't you listen to advice at all! Is that important?" Dorothy said angrily, "There will always be a way, maybe Dad and the others just need a little more time! It's better than you secretly violating the school rules and doing your own research—by the way , are you still researching recently?"

Isaac didn't speak, and Dorothy froze for a moment, then suddenly opened her mouth wide in shock.

"Where do you do your research? Empty classrooms? Dorms? Impossible, your research that violates school regulations cannot be displayed openly-you still go to the Room of Requirement? The place where we met Tom? You know he is dangerous! You clearly warned me so!"

"Well, I know," said Isaac calmly. "If you see him again, don't believe his nonsense, Dorothy. He speaks with too much purpose. I guess he was a manipulator." A brilliant person, but perhaps because he has not been in contact with people for many years, this part of his ability has degraded, and the faces of people who have plans are always urgent and a little ugly."

"And you?" asked Dorothy sharply. "What are you doing now?"

"I'm recognizing myself." Isaac said calmly, "Everyone advises me to resign to my fate for the time being and wait for a long time for a research that may appear to save me. This passiveness makes people irritated, and I really hate it. "

He pulled out the wrist held by his sister, and continued to walk forward steadily.After walking forward for a while, Dorothy caught up with her. The corners of her lips were tightly pressed, and it was the first time she was so angry with her brother.

Isaac stopped suddenly.

"Suddenly remembered that there is still something to be done." He said, "Tell the godfather for me, I will be there an hour later."

Before Dorothy could respond, he quickly turned in one direction and walked straight in another direction.Dorothy stared at his back in disbelief, and ran forward a few steps to catch up with him, but he didn't know where to turn, turned another corridor and disappeared.

It was precisely because of such an episode that when Regulus heard the movement at the door and raised his head, he was able to see his goddaughter walking through the door, and he was unusually angry like never before.She is a lively, cute, lovable little girl with the superpower of being accepted by anyone, as long as she wants to, no one can turn a cold face on her.

Unless she herself is also angry, the atmosphere will always look extraordinarily stiff at this time.Dorothy has a very good personality, she never cares about some trivial matters, and she rarely sulks herself. It is a rare thing to be as real as she is now, which made Regulus pay attention immediately.

"What's the matter, Dorothy?" he asked with concern. "Where's Isaac? You didn't come with me?"

"He has something to do and will be there in an hour." Dorothy replied with a straight face.Regulus was a little surprised, but of course he knew his godson, and he knew that sometimes he seemed a little distracted when he focused. It wasn't about arrogance or other emotions, and it wasn't annoying.

He didn't pay attention to it immediately, and just said: "You don't look very happy, what's your trouble? I don't know if the gift I prepared can make you happy...and help me pass the gift to Harry and his friends by the way. Friends, Honeydukes' new product, I hope they will like it."

"I don't know if it's an annoyance." Dorothy said angrily, crossing her arms and walking over angrily, "Maybe it's because I suddenly found out that someone is a fool who doesn't listen to advice! Harry and Ron and Hermione are sure Would love it, and Neville - they're all very good boys!"

Talk like you're big.Regulus laughed when he heard it, and beckoned her to come over.Dorothy ran up to him, jumped quickly, sat lightly on the desk in front of him, and began to open her present.

Her gift was not candy, but an enchanted comb.Dorothy read the words on the package with great concentration and found that this comb could make the user's hair smoother. After thinking about it, she thought Hermione would like such a comb, so she paid special attention to the name of the store and planned to give it to her for Christmas. Hermione is almost the same, if the pocket money is not enough, she can ask her mother to advance some.

"Did you ask me and Isaac to have supper together, Godfather?" She plucked a not-so-sweet candy from the candy box on the table and stuffed it into her mouth. I have prepared a lot of questions to ask you, and I don't intend to let you take a good rest."

"So you are angry with Isaac?" Regulus said unexpectedly, "It's okay, Dorothy, I will be at school today and tomorrow, not only Isaac, but you can also ask me if you have any questions. But Why didn't Isaac ask Eli? Your dad thinks much more broadly than I do."

"Perhaps you can't ask." Dorothy whispered, pulling the corners of her mouth.The godfather looked at him, and she hesitated for a moment, hesitating not to speak immediately.

Maybe she should tell her father about this matter immediately, but after all, she just heard from Tom. She is not sure, and she doesn't want her parents to worry about them.Dorothy hesitated for a while, and finally gritted her teeth and grabbed the godfather's sleeve.

"I want to file a complaint with you, Godfather." She whispered in his ear, "Can you not tell anyone after you hear it? Including my parents, including Sirius, including everyone."

Regulus raised his eyebrows in surprise, paused under her gaze, and then asked her, "Is this your trust in the godfather?"

Dorothy bit her lip and nodded, so Regulus said flatly, "Yes."

So Dorothy told her all about what she had discovered. Regulus' expression became more serious as he listened. Some black marks fell into a brief silence.

Dorothy followed his gaze. This birthmark has been with her for too long, and Isaac has it too. She has always ignored it and accepted it as a part of her body. It has been a long time since she looked at it carefully—I don’t know Is it her illusion? She inexplicably felt that the birthmark seemed to spread down a little bit, and a short red thin line grew out, like a blood vessel growing from the surrounding bone.

On the other side, in the Room of Requirement, Isaac is also looking at the black birthmark he was born with.The short, thin thread he grew was black, and it was integrated with the imprint on his arm, so dark that it seemed that even light would be absorbed into it.

Translucent Tom appeared behind him, chuckling admiringly.

"Great curse." He said in a tone full of appreciation. "Do you feel the change, Isaac? Your way forward is already clear. There is no other choice. You will come to mine step by step. By your side, it has been determined since you were not born."

"If you're not going to tell something useful, keep your mouth shut." Isaac said calmly, lowering his sleeves to hide the ominous mark, and beckoned to Tom.

Tom approached him with a smile, and was suddenly picked up by him and thrown away.

He touched his translucent body—for the first time there was undisguised surprise on Tom's face.

"I hate being manipulated." Isaac stood up, gave him a condescending look, turned and opened the door, and left from the Room of Requirement, "Maybe you know something, but if you insist on talking like a ghost, then Just go away. Don't think of yourself as an omnipotent god, Tom, you are just a greedy and eager to ugly ghost."

Amidst the sound of his closing the door, Tom's chuckle resounded again.

"That's funny," he said. "You think you've seen through me and you want to control me, don't you? Isaac? Would you like to make a bet? The kind that costs you all of yourself."

No one answered him, only his laughter echoed in the Room of Requirement for a long time.
