[HP] Magic didn't give up on you

When Voldemort's arrival broke the original calm on the platform, there were still many people who hadn't had time to leave the platform.

The reactions of wizard families are basically extremely fast: after receiving the child, they will take the child to apparate and go home as soon as possible. In the current world, it is not safe to stay outside for a while. You are in Ming, Dai The hooded enemy is in the dark, and it's never wrong to act cautiously and low-key.

Of course, there are corresponding exceptions, and some pure-blood wizarding families can even talk about Voldemort and Death Eaters with pride.

"We can meet a big man this holiday." Walburga Black said with a reserved smile.She lovingly stroked the younger son's hair, turning a blind eye to the impatient older son.

"Are you ready, Regulus?" She said gently, looking at her little son encouragingly, "I think you are ready."

"Yes, Mom." Regulus nodded, with a little longing, he said with certainty, "That lord's idea is absolutely correct, wizards are supreme, and we shouldn't blindly hide when we face Muggles. Hiding... this will restrict the wizards to their own secret little world, but the world is so big, every wizard should be able to walk in the sun openly."

"Well said." Walburga nodded approvingly, leaned down slightly, and whispered in his youngest son's ear, "The family will not openly stand on that side with you, you know... the noble and pure Black family There is no need to cling to anyone to survive, no matter how big a person they are. But we all believe that you have chosen the right path, boy, and we are proud of you."

The corners of Regulus' lips curved, and he accepted his mother's compliment with a smile.He became the Seeker of the Slytherin Quidditch team this year, and over the past year, his stature has visibly shortened and he has grown stronger.The mother's beautiful face looked at him with kindness and gentleness. Anyone who saw this scene of mother's kindness and filial piety would feel envious.

Sirius Black, who was standing closest to them, was indifferent to all this.He turned his face and looked at his friends not far away - Remus and his parents were walking out of the platform passage, Peter's head was shaking eagerly from side to side, he didn't know what he was looking at, and his appearance seemed a little funny.

Probably looking for the girl he has a crush on.Sirius thought casually.He felt intensely bored, and began to think about when he would skip his family and go to James's place this summer vacation, feeling sincere regret for not being able to leave directly with the James family just now.

Doing anything is better than standing here stupidly.Sirius moved his gaze outward and saw Lily Evans, the girl James had a crush on, standing in front of her parents, talking to them; her hand was pulling... Sirius frowned, staring at the girl who was caught by Ivan. Snape, who was being dragged by him, took a look, and felt that it was fortunate that James hadn't seen this scene.

God testifies, it's not that he slandered his friends, it's that James' love is really unbearable.

The accident happened at this moment.

The sudden exploding spell, the terrifying black robe, the rapidly spreading panic, and the crowds running in all directions... Sirius was startled, staring at the man in black robe attached to Eli Smith's back like a shadow, he could almost see him at a glance. The other party's identity was confirmed; behind him, his mother and younger brother didn't panic at all, they retreated, subtly blending themselves into a shadow, watching the chaotic scene quietly, standing by.

"Look, Regulus." Walburga whispered appreciatively, "how powerful, charismatic, and powerful. I think only such a person can make such a big career—lead What changes the times is always the unique hero of the moment.”

Instead, Regulus hesitated, paused, and said: "I think that in the face of a great cause, everyone should show following and appreciation instead of..."

He looked around, took a panoramic view of the horror and despair on people's faces, and frowned slightly.

"It's not like this...fear and panic."

"Never mind, Regulus," Walburga said disapprovingly. "There are always so many fools who don't want to look ahead. Look carefully and you will find that the really smart people know , what exactly is their response.

Regulus didn't speak, his eyes turned to the other side, and he saw the senior who was one year older than him, Severus Snape.

The expression on his face was not fear, but an unprecedented anxiety.

"Leave! Leave quickly! Lily! Take your parents away!" Snape said eagerly, grabbing Lily with his backhand in a very quick reaction, and was about to take her out, "That's the Dark Lord! He is against Muggles Very unfriendly, run out of the platform—"

He tugged on Lily, but she didn't move, and turned to look at her in amazement, only to find that she was looking in Voldemort's direction with an anxious expression on her face.

"He's standing so close to Eli!" she said eagerly, worry on her pretty face. "Is Eli going to be okay? He's all alone! We should—"

"He'll be all right!" said Snape irritably, his voice rising unconsciously. "Don't you see? The Dark Lord has business with him! He doesn't even have a wound! He's not like you! he--"

Snape's expression twisted slightly.

"—Noble status! He has a background of a pure-blood wizard! He can do whatever he wants and be confident, but you can't! Go, the Death Eaters kill Muggles and don't care whose relatives they are!"

Lily looked back at him, briefly stunned.Snape's face was full of eagerness, and the next second, his hand was thrown away by Lily.

"Thanks, I know your intentions, Sev," she said hastily, her voice hurried, "You take my parents—I have to go to Eli, no one can make sure he's safe— Petunia is still taking exams! She's waiting to see Eli at the prom! If something happens to him in front of me and I just run for my life, how can I explain to Petunia? I'll look down on myself too!"

"Lily!" Snape said hastily, reaching for her but missing.He stood on the spot, hesitating, struggling, seeing Lily turning around and running towards Eli in the distance, he gritted his teeth hard and pulled his heels up.

Voldemort had already left, and people isolated Eli in the center of the storm, forming an empty typhoon eye, as if he was carrying some highly contagious virus.

Lily ran towards him, with Snape following her, both panting violently, their hearts jumping out of their throats - but none of them reached their destination, instead being overwhelmed by the sudden appearance of the Ministry of Magic from the crowd. Luo stopped where he was.They were sent by the Ministry of Magic to guard the platform today to protect the safe arrival of the Hogwarts Express, but they cannot be blamed for not responding quickly enough when facing Voldemort.

Now they stood up, completely isolated Eli from the crowd, pulled away Linda Smith who was running towards him like crazy, hugged him tightly, and was about to Apparate away in horror.

"Sorry, ma'am, you can't take him home." The Aurors said solemnly, "He just had a close contact with Voldemort, and Voldemort called his name before leaving. It is not ruled out that he was cast with the Imperius Curse." Possibility - we need to take him to St Mungo's."

Eli lay quietly on St. Mungo's hospital bed, eyes open, silently staring at the white ceiling of the ward.

Someone came in, took something, and swiped him back and forth—for the fourth time today.

I usually don't feel much in the Hogwarts school hospital, but I found out here that wizards actually use Muggle-like medical machines.On the one hand, they discriminate against Muggles spiritually without saying a word, and on the other hand, they use Muggles' technological creations to magically modify them to obtain functions that are better than Muggles' technological ones. Laugh at the stupidity of Muggles.

That must be the way Voldemort was thinking, Eli thought nonchalantly.For the first time, he realized very clearly that the reason why Voldemort rose so powerfully was not because so many wizards were bewitched by him, but because some of his statements were what most wizards thought. combine.Voldemort is not a demon born out of thin air, but a negative collection of superiority in every wizard's heart.

This is really interesting, and it seems to be of some value for research.But Eli doesn't have the strength to think deeply now, he has become numb and tired from the day-to-day inspection and interrogation.

"What did Voldemort say to you?" Someone asked him, this is the No.19 time in the past few days.

"Some non-violent wooing." Eli said calmly, his tone was flat and did not fluctuate, and he didn't even move his eyes. This was the 19th time he answered this question.

"A child like you..." Someone from the Ministry of Magic did not know which department whispered softly, and looked at him with mistrust, "What do you think attracted the mysterious person? Let him come to see you specially , and so polite?"

"Good question, I also want to know." Eli said indifferently, covering his slight turn, and finally took a look at the person, "I also want to know, won't the various departments of the Ministry of Magic share the database? Need to ask a question a dozen times over and over again? With all due respect, your way of working is really backward.”

The staff of the Ministry of Magic looked a little embarrassed, and slightly annoyed that they were offended.He asked a few more questions that he thought were sharp, and Eli answered them one by one without much energy.You can’t blame him for lack of energy. If you answer the same questions dozens of times in a few days, and everyone still looks at you with eyes that don’t tell the truth, you will also feel deeply when you are upset. Deep weakness.

The people in this department didn't ask the answer they wanted, they stared at him sternly for a long time, and finally gave up and left.Eli continued to stare at the ceiling of the ward. Not long after, the door rang again, and someone walked into the ward and sat down beside his bed.

"Did I do something wrong?" Eli said suddenly, turning to look at his mother.

"No." Linda Smith said firmly. In just a few days, her cheeks quickly sunken, she lost a lot of weight, and looked extremely haggard. "You escaped from the mysterious man, son, Very lucky, very difficult."

"I thought so too." Eli said calmly, with a faint depression in his voice, "Thank you, Mom, for making me believe that I am a lucky survivor, not just following Voldemort and killing something. People, were captured on the spot by the Ministry of Magic and locked up here."

"Eli!" said Mrs. Smith sadly, "don't say that about yourself, we all know it's not the case - we all saw it with our own eyes! Wandering between various departments, he is very opposed to the Ministry of Magic checking you for abnormalities and detaining you in St. Mungo's. He made it clear that his students should go to spend his summer vacation freely. I think the Ministry of Magic is almost I can't stand his pressure anymore—they came here very frequently today, don't they? This is the last unwillingness before letting you go."

"Sorry." Eli took a deep breath to calm down his emotions, and said in a low voice, "I didn't mean to blame you, I can imagine how troublesome the situation is... If the person involved is not me, but someone else, I He might also have concerns about being unscathed by Voldemort, after all, it's so rare, isn't it? Let us start to suspect each other, and that's his purpose."

It's really a conspiracy that's clearly on the table. Everyone knows it, but there's nothing they can do about it.

"I don't blame you." Mrs. Smith said softly, clearing her throat heavily nasally, "Don't think about it, think about other things... By the way, Petunia, that Muggle friend of yours, are you doing well today? What's the appointment? She called home today and asked about your situation. I know you have owl communication, but it doesn't seem to mention this matter. "

"We..." Eli froze for a moment, then sat up abruptly.He sat on the bed, stared blankly for a while, and then slowly lay back down.

"Yes." He said softly, closed his eyes, and turned his face to the side, "Originally, but I can only make a mistake."

He thought of Petunia's prom, and they talked about it the day before boarding the Hogwarts Express home, and Eli was thinking about going to the downtown shopping mall the next day. , Buy a suitable suit and come back.The few days he stayed here blurred his sense of time and made him completely forget about this matter.He felt that he didn't want to think about it on purpose, because even if he thought about it all the time, it would only be powerless.

"Did she say anything?" Eli asked in a low voice.

"Just so you don't have to worry about that, she's got other arrangements," said Mrs. Smith. "She asked me to tell you... She had a good time, but I'm sorry I didn't see you, and I hope you Can leave St. Mungo's as soon as possible. She also asked me if I could come to the hospital to see you, and I told her that the Ministry of Magic does not allow anyone other than me and your father to see you. She was disappointed, but she understood."

Eli turned his eyes, stared at the ceiling, and thought quietly for a while.

"Do you think she's telling the truth?" Eli asked her, "about the fact that I missed my appointment and she had other arrangements and had a great time."

Mrs. Smith looked at him for a while, then asked him, "Do you have an answer in your heart?"

Elimo remained silent, and Mrs. Smith reached out and rubbed the top of his hair.

"You can ask her yourself later." She said gently, "It's a pity to miss the special moment, but the future is still long, don't be trapped here, keep looking forward, cheer up, my little man."
