[HP] Magic didn't give up on you

"Everyone's been talking about your speech for the last few days and you've stunned everyone, buddy," James said. "Why didn't you ask me to sit in on that day? If you have such a speaking plan ? Let me also watch the excitement, I've been regretting it for the past few days."

"There's no need to show that kind of excited expression." Eli glanced at him and said with a straight face, "You make me look like I'm deliberately creating a show effect, but in fact it's not, this is what is in front of us right now. The most likely way to go is that we can no longer specialize You-Know-Who - if he wants to continue his activities, he must abide by the rules of the wizarding world. A person can kill and break the law at will as long as he wears the Death Eater's hood. Sanctions will not be tolerated and must be resolved as soon as possible."

"Hey, I didn't say you were joking." James said innocently, shrugged at him, and leaned over to put his shoulders with a smile, "All of us have always supported your decision, you know! From you It started the day you decided to start the school newspaper, didn't you, editor-in-chief?"

He leaned over so unreasonably, making the serious conversation with a straight face suddenly difficult to maintain.Eli pulled his arm down a little angrily and a little funny, shook his head and said: "If possible, I still hope that you will all decide who to support or stand after you know exactly what will happen to you. On which side, to be honest, this plan has never been practiced by anyone before, there is no precedent to draw on, and I have no idea at all-well, I appreciate your support, James, take your arm from my Take it off your neck, you are too tight..."

"Who isn't like this?" Catherine said leisurely. She, Joan and Lily were nestled on the sofa next to her, drinking afternoon tea comfortably. "After all, Voldemort is also the first time, isn't it? The many outcomes of dealing with him are right or wrong, and in this case, we see your plan and support it, simple as that."

"There is a lot of opposition within the Ministry of Magic." Joan Hobson, who joined the Department of International Magic Cooperation after graduation, said, "Of course, we all know that the main reason for the Ministry of Magic's opposition is that they cannot accept that the British magical community There is a two-party campaign and no one in the Ministry agrees with it - there is no more virtuous and altruistic reason than the root cause of their opposition. I think as long as Eli's final decision favors fighting Voldemort rather than a two-party system in the wizarding world, Then they will agree quickly."

"Hypocritical politicians." Catherine pouted her lips and exchanged understanding glances with Joan.

"It's not a big problem." Eli nodded and said calmly, "The two-party system is just an alarmist assumption. When people find that one of the roads doesn't work, they will retreat and carefully consider the other. This is our purpose. .”

"Politician." Catherine chuckled and commented, "To be honest, if the mysterious man can be dealt with quickly, I'm really looking forward to you entering the Ministry of Magic and stirring up the situation... But maybe everything is destined to It’s a trade-off, if you really become like that, maybe we won’t be able to sit together like this anymore, the black tea and desserts are really good, and Penny is really perfect.”

"Thank you for the compliment on my wife," Eli said, "but I prepared this. She cooks better than me. Maybe you can come to my house for dinner this Christmas. She bakes some pastries every year."

"The ability to pick and adjust a man is also a part of a woman's perfection." Catherine raised her eyebrows at him and said meaningfully, and the ladies suddenly laughed knowingly.

"Don't we have any better ways to spend time?" Sirius asked lazily, yawning, "It's a rare vacation, because today is the graduation party of the school newspaper, I only went out and drove for half the night yesterday— —If I had known earlier, I would have come back at dawn, and it seems more suitable to sleep here."

"Are you looking forward to something special?" Remus asked amusedly. He was wearing a clean and tidy wizard robe, his hair was combed very neatly, and he looked much better after graduation than when he was in school - working for the Order of the Phoenix It's not low, enough for him to buy the monthly wolfbane potion and still have enough money to run his life, which obviously greatly improved his life, and even included part of his character, "We are the same people in school, aren't we? Why do you seem to be paying attention to it for some unknown reason?"

"Didn't you say it was the graduation party?" Sirius twitched his lips, "The people sitting here today are not all the people who took the photo - the photo we took above the Leaky Cauldron, remember? ?”

Remus was taken aback when he heard that, and couldn't help thinking about who else was in that photo.Several people recalled it before him, and Peter gasped, and James sat up straight.

"Hey, how is that possible," he said, casting a quick glance at Lily. "You're kidding, Sirius. If—I mean, we might have to help Eli move right now."

All right.Sirius shrugged, and Lily shrugged calmly, without any special expression on her face.

"It's really impossible." She said, without mentioning the name, and turned to look at Eli, "But I also thought that I would see a new face—can't we know his name now, our mysterious Stan?" Deputy Editor-in-Chief Leitlin?"

"Actually, I intend to introduce him to everyone today." Faced with their gazes, Eli said unexpectedly.

This startled everyone in the room, who quickly sat up straight and began scrambling and chirping with questions.

"Who?!" Catherine said immediately, and a series of words came out quickly, "Is he really a graduate student? Who the hell? Don't tell me it's really Snape—according to reliable sources, he graduated Just joined the Death Eaters! But he did appear in our photo together, didn't he? So the original denial was just a cover-up?"

"Impossible," said Lily (Katherine gave her a startled look), "if I ever knew him at all, it couldn't be—so who else could it be? Did you meet at school?" Eli?"

"If it's based on the intersection with Eli in school, I think of someone." Joan said slowly on the side, frowning slightly, "Well...but it is said that he joined the Death Eaters earlier Much more, and now he..."

Her eyes stayed on the face of Sirius opposite for a second, and then quickly moved away.Sirius didn't speak, just looked at Eli, watching his reaction carefully.

Eli glanced at the clock on the wall.

"I think he's coming soon," he said. "He's always been a punctual man."

They didn't wait too long, and there was a knock on the door of Smith's house.Eli went out and opened the door, and in came a man in a hood - it must be said, his attire set everyone's nerves on edge, and they stared at him as he raised his hands, Take off your hood.

"Hello." He put down his hands, looked at them, and said calmly and politely, "We finally meet."

Everyone stared at him, and after a few seconds of dead silence, Sirius jumped up from the sofa.

"It's you!" he exclaimed in disbelief. "I knew—I should have known—but you didn't say anything when I went out this morning!"

"Secrecy has become a habit of mine." Regulus said, he pulled out a silver pendant from his neck, and stroked the small gem on it.

His facial features suddenly underwent some slight changes. His hair color, skin color, and body shape did not change, but his pupil color changed, and his facial features were subtly adjusted. After only a few seconds, he stood there, looking the same as before. very different.

"Sean Jonathan, my current name." He said, "British, a graduate of Durmstrang, I will work in the Order of the Phoenix in the future, and I will be more responsible for the clerical aspects. Eli said that I will write the minutes of the meeting. Well done."

Everyone was taken aback again. Catherine quickly stood up and approached him, and subconsciously moved her hand to the side—she didn’t touch her camera, which made her awake in disappointment, but she still looked at him closely and even touched him. Squeeze.

"How?" she asked in amazement. "What's that pendant? Eli's new invention?"

"No, it's just filled with a little sobriety potion." Eli said, "It's only used to remove the traces of magic—in fact, what you see now is his current appearance, and the one just now is from the past, in order to let you I have a bottom in my heart."

"What do you mean?" Remus asked, as bewildered as the others.Beside him, Peter opened his mouth wide. He looked at Regulus, completely unable to recover, but his eyes suddenly lit up surprisingly.

"Is this a new type of camouflage?" he asked eagerly. "It looks very effective!"

"In fact, it is a collection of negative effects of some potions." Eli said, "Minimizing those negative effects and controlling them to change the facial features was developed by Principal Dumbledore. As far as I know, he also No antidote has been researched... So for now, this may be permanent, and the deployment is very troublesome, and mass production is impossible. But you are right, Peter, it will be a way out for us, if it is a last resort , we have a new possibility of hedging.”

Peter nodded silently, still staring at Regulus in a daze, his eyes focused.

"It's a secret." Eli said seriously, "Perhaps the best way to keep a secret is to keep him in one person's heart forever, and not expand the spread of the crowd. But the world is unpredictable, and no one can say no." I wonder if my last day will be today. If my life ends today - then I will regret not letting you know that we have a companion who has been standing with us in his own way .”

He picked up two face-down photos from the coffee table, turned them over, and everyone's eyes fell on them, realizing that they were photos they had taken at the Leaky Cauldron.

One is the one with them all there, and in the other, it's the same background, just Eli and Regulus sitting side by side, smiling at the camera.

"Let me introduce to everyone." Eli said, "Hogwarts school newspaper, deputy editor from Slytherin, Regulus Black."

The author has something to say:

Thanks to Shuang, Excessive Chuanbuki., Xu's mines, and F6's grenade~

In terms of the difference between Snape and Regulus, it is actually the difference between Dumbledore and Eli.Same situation, different choices, Eli is not another Deng Xiaoping
