[HP] Magic didn't give up on you

After an exciting meeting with his parents to finalize the wedding date, James wandered back to the Order of the Phoenix from the Evans house, still looking a little dazed and dazed.

He maintained this relaxed feeling as if floating in the clouds for two hours, and quickly collapsed after seeing Sirius. He listened to his friend's wonderful adventure with an expression of listening to heaven, and took him back in a daze. Invisibility cloak, looking at his good brother with a new look like looking at an alien, as if he suddenly grew three heads or eight tentacles.

"Hey! Dude!" he said, overwhelmed. "You've had such a bizarre adventure—didn't you call me?!"

"It's urgent, James." Sirius said, he raised his hand and rubbed his face that was numb from the cold wind, and he was still dazed by his wonderful adventure, "To be honest, I can come back smoothly It's really not easy... It's a stroke of luck, the situation is more complicated than I thought... Fortunately, Professor Dumbledore is here, and he is always well prepared."

"So how's he doing now, your brother?" James asked him. "What was that liquid he was drinking? Something that You-Know-Who prepared doesn't sound very good."

"Alive, not life-threatening." Sirius said simply, "I can't apparate him, the "I" at that point in time is still wandering outside, once someone finds out, it's over.Fox flew us out of there on a long long flight... I put a warming spell on him but it didn't help much, it was still too cold in late December.We went to Hogwarts, and Headmaster Dumbledore checked on him and said that he suffered a lot and needed time to recuperate. The thing prepared by the mysterious man is not just a deterrent, he needs treatment and rest now .Professor Dumbledore reassured me that he would be in charge of this matter, but told me not to speak about it...except for friends I believed to be absolutely trustworthy, he said that it was painful to keep secrets from friends, respect my will. "

"Okay, I'll pay attention too." James nodded solemnly, and counted the list of friends who could know the secret, "Eli, Remus, Peter, Lily?"

almost.Sirius nodded, then thought about it, but shook his head again.

"The only ones who know about this now are you and Eli." He frowned and said seriously, "Eli is the one who came up with the idea, and I have no secrets to hide from you...but if I could, I would like to This matter is better confined to this small circle. If it is my own secret, I am willing to share it with my trusted friends, but this is related to Regulus... His identity is special, and those who know The less the better. I don’t think I’m going to hide it, but I’m not going to bring it up either.”

One day before, he would never have imagined that he would spend so much energy on a Blake, even if this person was his own younger brother.Sirius exhaled heavily, with a complicated expression on his face.

That's not bad.James nodded, looked at his friend's dignified expression, and cleared his throat.

"It will be alright. With Professor Dumbledore around, the danger will be saved in the end." James said optimistically. He grinned excitedly and patted Sirius on the shoulder. "It's so cool to be joking with You-Know-Who ——This is really unexpected, and I started to look at your brother with admiration."

"I didn't expect that either." Sirius said, with a somewhat complicated look on his brows, "I never knew he was so courageous... just like I never discovered that our family's domestic dog who fanatically supported Black's blood theory The elf has a mind of his own, you know, he's willing to die for Regulus."

"Aren't all house-elves like this?" James asked. "Handed down from generation to generation, loyal house-elves, their mission and vocation is to obey the orders of their masters, and they also enjoy it."

"That's different, at least he wouldn't do that to me." Sirius hesitated for a moment, then said after consideration, "It's not a mission or a vocation, it's his own choice... Do you understand what I mean, James? Although He's been serving the Black family since he was born, his grandparents have done that... I think he chose to serve Regulus himself because... I think it's because Regulus was good to him."

After a short thought, James nodded, to his surprise.

"I think I understand what you mean," he said, "just like some wizards think that Muggles are also stupid and inferior. They regard Muggles as a kind of inferior intelligent life and don't think they And wizards are humans. But we all know that's not the case, Muggles are no different than us except there's no magic... I guess house-elves might be the same? We used to think they were born to obey wizards, but maybe we were wrong Well, they're just like us, except they look different. Well, I thought that before, but I guess I was wrong all along."

"Hey, prongs." Sirius looked at him for a while and said with a strange expression, "I don't know when that self-centered boy became able to reflect on himself very well. It's amazing."

"Hey Padfoot, I'm about to go from boy to man. A man of the house, a girl's husband, and maybe soon a father." James grinned and patted the His shoulder, "Don't keep looking at me with the same old eyes - it's easy to do this after knowing each other for a long time, isn't it? But in fact, we are all growing and changing, and you have become a little different from before, I think It’s not like you’re revisiting your old family members in sixth and seventh grade, trying to reassess them.”

maybe.Sirius bent the corners of his lips, noncommittal to his statement.The two stood by the desk at the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix, spreading out all kinds of news that they had received today.

James had begun to concentrate on reading the newspaper, but Sirius was still a little absent-minded.He stared at the latest report on the Death Eaters' actions in the newspaper, and suddenly said in a rambling manner: "...What do you think Regulus is willing to sacrifice himself in exchange for? I heard it was A locket... a Slytherin locket."

"It sounds very precious." James commented, "The thing that allows the mysterious man to protect it so closely...Although I don't know what it is, but now it is in our hands, I think it must be a good thing."

This time-reversal, after a lot of effort, they finally got the golden locket, which was placed on Dumbledore's desk at this moment.He looked at it seriously through the half-moon glasses. The portraits of the principals on the office wall couldn't care less about pretending to be asleep and chatting about other topics at the moment. thing.

"Yes, it is indeed Slytherin's locket." Dexter Fusco said affirmatively, with a nostalgic tone, "The locket has not disappeared when I was alive, and I have the honor to see it... I Guess that's it, but I can't look any closer—how about you hold it closer to me, Albus? I think I can make sure."

"I also think it's the Slytherin locket, there's little doubt about it, Dexter." Dumbledore said mildly, and Headmaster Dexter looked a little disappointed, "Well, well, you Your eyes are trustworthy, Albus... so what are you staring at? Seriously admiring?"

"It exudes an unusually evil aura, which is not what Slytherin's locket should have." Dumbledore said softly, his blue eyes staring at the locket, looking a little sharp, "Voldemort didn't Not a collector who knows how to appreciate treasures, it is unreasonable to protect the locket so closely. Do you have any ideas and guesses?"

The previous headmasters of Hogwarts looked at each other, and most of them shook their heads. The headmaster Phineas Nigellus Black, who was born in Slytherin House, didn't move. He stared at the locket with a slightly confused expression. Singularity under control.

"Phineas?" Dumbledore looked at him.

"What?" Phineas Black replied absent-mindedly, still staring at the locket with some doubts, and slowly came back to his senses, and found that everyone was looking at him.

"I don't know!" He hastened to claim, with a bit of pretentiousness, "I'm not a dark wizard, how could I speculate about this kind of dark magic item—"

"Speak as soon as you have something to say, Phineas!" said Dai Lisi Deventer, the headmaster who was born in St. Mungo's, angrily. Looking at him, "Helping the current headmaster of Hogwarts is the duty of all previous headmasters! If you have an idea, speak up!"

Alright, alright... Phineas gave a dry laugh, coughed, and looked at Dumbledore.

"This is just my personal guess - something that can be so tightly hidden by a surprisingly powerful dark wizard, it reminds me of a... legend, it's just a legend, I haven't actually seen anyone make it... But I guess you've already guessed something, Albus? Why don't you look at your bookshelf - I think it's up there with The Dark Arts Revealed."

Albus Dumbledore was silent for a moment, then sighed lightly.

"I think it's a Pandora's box," he said softly, "and it will open an ominous door for us - Voldemort must not have imagined that the secret he took pains to hide, because of a secret he never paid attention to A house-elf, and a subordinate who he thought was absolutely under his control, showed a clue."

There was a moment of silence in the principal's office, and Dairis Dewent in the portrait asked softly, "What do you think this means, Albus?"

"It means that the enemies we are facing may be difficult to completely eliminate." Dumbledore said solemnly, but in the solemnity of the others, he stroked Fox's warm feathers and smiled faintly.

"The road is rough, the task is difficult, the future is unclear... Obviously, this is unprecedented. It is difficult to stand alone against a powerful enemy who succeeds alone. But luckily in the misfortune, we are never alone-Voldemort splits his mighty self, And this may be our opportunity. Our trump card is the unity of all people, and I hope, I believe, that this strength of unity can crush all the difficulties that stand in our way."
