HP Midnight Light

- January 1994, 1 - Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry

When Remus saw the four children in the classroom, he couldn't help sighing again that life is wonderful.

In his first Defense Against the Dark Arts class, the Boggart was so brilliant that one of the Slytherin girls was left alone after class and asked if he could get another Boggart for her and her couple. practice with a friend.

Remus had no problem with this at first, but after he knew the girl's name, he suddenly had a subtle opinion about it:

Pansy Parkinson.

He tried not to think about anything more.

What's more interesting is that the other three Slytherin students waiting to practice dealing with Boggart tonight are Snape's daughter, Malfoy's son and the only son of the famous beauty Tracey Zabini.

Together with Parkinson, Remus thought they were enough to make a Slytherin version of the Marauder.At some point James and Peter would be mad with envy if they knew he was teaching such a "cool" group of students, especially Prongs.

In recalling his friends, Remus had deliberately left out one name.

"Is that the Boggart?" Pansy pointed to the box in his hand.

"Found it in Mr. Filch's filing cabinet." Remus put it on the desk, turned around and looked at the four students, feeling extremely awkward, "So, who will come first?"

In theory, it was Pansy who was the one who made the connection to tonight's extracurricular practice, but at this point she took a timid step back.It was Blaise who stood up: "Let me come, Professor Lupine."

Remus pulled himself together and repeated the key points for dealing with the Boggart, then opened the box, and the corpse of a witch rolled to the ground unexpectedly.

"Funny funny!" Blaise began easily.Next came Draco, who hadn't expected the son of the mighty Lucius Malfoy to be afraid of a mischievous cauldron.And Violet has a resemblance to him, her boggart is a hairy heart—

"Pansy!" Remus couldn't help but focus as he called the name.

The boggart paused for a moment, thinking.

Snapped!

He was jolted suddenly, and the drowsiness disappeared in an instant.

Hyacinth, who was dressed gorgeously, lowered her eyelids and stared at Pansy coldly, approaching her step by step.She held a book in her hand, and Remus saw the title flashed: One Hundred Years of Solitude.

He was stunned.

"Funny funny!" Pansy exclaimed.The fake Hyacinth staggered back a step and changed into a tacky Muggle outfit. Pansy's expression fluctuated, as if trying to finish off the Boggart with laughter, but Remus saw The corners of her mouth stiffened.

"Very good, let me finish now." He stepped forward and force Boggart back into the box neatly, "Everyone of you did a good job, it's already very good to have such a result in the first practice .”

Pan Xi still had a trace of indescribable confusion on her face: "Thank you." She thanked softly.Remus glanced at the girl, wondering what she was thinking.

The children chatted excitedly and left the classroom, and Remus tidied things up by himself, but he still couldn't feel relieved.

This is another time he has seen the teasing of time, it will secretly change youth, turn beauties into dry bones, and change their appearance one by one.

Well, Sirius.Remus asked inwardly.Should I tell Dumbledore about the Animagus?

And you, why are you looking for Harry?

- February 2 - Forbidden Forest

Crookshanks jumped nimbly onto the man's lap and looked up at the bearded face.

"I failed." Sirius said hoarsely, "The boy woke up suddenly...he screamed..."

Crookshanks gently brushed the back of his hand with his tail, and Sirius avoided its comfort, picking up the knife he had thrown aside.

"I could have killed him," he said gloomily, "and he'd be out of the way. But I couldn't—I mean, I don't know... A boy is nothing compared to Pediru , but I suddenly felt... I can still find another chance to kill Pediru..." He spoke incoherently, Crookshanks let out a cry, and lowered his head to rub Sirius' arm.

"Aren't you really Brookshaw?" Sirius let go of the knife, "Aren't you it?"

Crookshanks meowed innocently, his flat cat face was nothing like Brookshaw's in his memory.

Sirius got to know the cat not long after he hid in Hogwarts. He met it for the first time in the form of an Animagus, but it seemed to see through all disguises and appeared frequently by his side. Try to "communicate" with him.After a while Sirius finally formed a strange friendship with the cat, who was smart enough to trust him and help him keep an eye on Peter.This made Sirius have to doubt its origin.

Crookshanks watched him quietly, and Sirius saw his haggard, inhuman self in its eyes.

"He's sure to try to escape," he stroked its head. "Help me keep an eye on him."

Crookshanks nodded very humanly.

"After I catch him and hand him over to the Ministry of Magic, I'll be free." Sirius looked up and searched the bright starry sky, "Look, that's Sirius—" He pointed to the bright star, "I have Haven't seen it in years. We used to sneak up to the Astronomy Tower for stargazing on winter nights, and James always said it was the luckiest time of year for me because it was my guardian star, of course Well, I know this is all nonsense..." He couldn't help laughing as he spoke, Crookshanks stared at him instead of looking at the stars, this sincere smile suddenly tore apart the Reese's dull and bitter mask, that handsome young man who likes to take risks in groups at midnight, jumped in front of Crookshanks at once.

"They will clear my name, so that I can walk into the castle openly." Sirius turned his head, looking longingly at the dimly lit castle in the distance, "After so many years, with a free body It must feel good to step into the old lounge again. Remember to remind me to apologize to the fat lady, she is a very nice person, at least she never reported our night tour to others...

"I hope Harry will be willing to come and live with me. We can find a house in the country where we can see the sun and have a yard to play Quidditch. I haven't had a good sun in many years, and Harry Definitely like the bright places too. He looks a lot like James, doesn't he, but obviously he's not as naughty as James, I guess his personality is actually more like Lily... Do you think he'll turn down my offer ?" He scratched Crookshanks' ear, and suddenly fell silent for no reason.

Crookshanks waited silently for his next words.

"I'm 35 years old."

At this time, the night wind started to blow, and the wind was filled with the promises that were easily made many years ago.While the leaves were swaying, he heard a sigh of disappointment that could not be dismissed.

-June 6-

When Remus walked into the hall with his luggage, he happened to meet Snape.

As expected, he still had that expression of bitterness and hatred on his face, the only difference was that this time there was unconcealable hostility in his eyes.

"That's childish, Severus," Remus reminded.

"You're to blame." Snape said these words coldly through his teeth. "Without the help of some people, it would be impossible for Black to escape again!"

Looking at the face in front of him, Remus suddenly wanted to stop being a gentle person for a while: "The greatest pathos about you, Snape, is that no matter how many years pass, you still brood over old things—whether it is Good or bad."

Snape's face changed suddenly.

"You are not the only one in this world who has a tragic past, and you are not the only one who has deep friendship. No matter what your difficulties are, this is not an excuse for you to continue to blame others." Remus looked at him coldly. Snape, "If you have any grudges, you can go to Sirius and me. We owe you. But what does Harry owe you? In some ways, you are always a powerless one." villain."

Snape glared at him viciously with a pale face, but Remus ignored him, picked up the suitcase and strode down the steps in front of the hall.

Remus suddenly felt so relieved.

- July 7 - Greengrass House

Someone knocked on the door.

"Don't answer the door," Astoria said. "Mom and Dad aren't home."

Daphne rolled her eyes in annoyance and raised her voice: "Who is it?"

"I'm here to find Sean Greengrass." The person outside the door said, "Who are you? Daphne?"

"Don't open the door!"

"It's me." Daphne didn't expect the visitor to announce her name in one gulp, and she immediately decided to ignore Astoria's protest.

The person outside the door came in, he was wearing a traveling cloak: "Good boy...can you go and call Sean here for me now?"

"He's not at home." Daphne looked up at him stupidly, "Who are you?"

"An old friend of his." The stranger replied hastily, at this time Astoria had already run up to him with a smile:

"What would you like to drink? Tea? Coffee? Pumpkin juice?"

"No need." The stranger refused, "I'll wait for Sean to come back." He bypassed the Greengrass sisters and sat down on the sofa familiarly. At the same time, he began to look at the furnishings in the house.

"You really love acting!" Daphne hated Astoria's pretentious appearance the most, "Who told you not to open the door just now?"

"He's a guest, sister," Astoria looked at her innocently, "this is the most basic courtesy!"

Daphne was furious but unable to refute - Astoria has always been like this, relying on her beauty and parents' love to ignore her elder sister - fortunately at this time, a stranger called her name: " Come here, Daphne, I have something to ask you."

"If you answer something indiscriminately, Dad will definitely scold you."

"That's Daddy's friend, fool!" Daphne strode away from her to the stranger.It was the first time in her memory that guests preferred to speak to her rather than Astoria, much to Daphne's delight.

"You're about to start your fourth year, aren't you?" asked the stranger. "How's Hogwarts?"

"It's okay." Daphne stared at the person in front of her curiously, "Did you just finish a trip?" Otherwise, why would you be so haggard.

"Yeah, I've come from a long way," murmured the stranger. "Where's your father?"

"A make-up party."

"Masquerade party..." The stranger repeated dryly, "Forget it, let's talk about Hogwarts."

Sylvia held Sean's hand tightly and walked into the courtyard door: "So, you think Malfoy is not suitable for Leah?"

"That's obvious." Sean replied, "I think Zabini is the best candidate. Although their family's reputation is not very good, at least Blaise Zabini can inherit his mother's entire estate, and other people don't like it. The boy's evaluation proves that he is a well-rounded person."

"I don't want Leah to marry a scheming man!"

"Leah will definitely not suffer, she is very smart." Sean patted his wife's hand and laughed, "Don't worry, Zabini is born to know the times, he will not treat Leah badly. "

"So what about Daphne?" Sylvia asked anxiously, "What about her?"

"Let's talk about it later." Sean's tone immediately turned cold, "Looking at her like that, thank God for not causing trouble. She better not be stupid enough to provoke someone she shouldn't."

"You should have a talk with her before school starts this time," Sylvia suggested, "I think this child is a bit indifferent."

"Of course I would," Sean said. "She just needs a lesson."

When this word reached Sylvia's ears, she couldn't help but smile.

But her smile faded away the moment she saw the man sitting on the sofa as soon as she entered the door.

Sean looked at the unexpected guest with a livid face.

"Would you mind taking some time to talk to me?" the visitor asked politely.

"Of course." Sean squeezed out a few words, "You all go back to my room!" He scolded, Daphne's expression of joy froze just now, she glanced at her father uneasily, but Sylvia Straight forward and pulled her over:

"Go back to the room!"

The girls were taken away by their mother at a loss, and Sean secretly held his wand tightly.

"I'm here for my daughter." Little Barty stretched out lazily on the sofa, "Where is she?"

"I don't know." Sean replied, "I'm not the one Cornelia entrusted." He couldn't figure out where Barty Jr. came from, and the other party seemed to see through his mind:

"Azkaban can't stop me, Sean."

"I really don't know where Leto went." Sean forced himself to look calm, "You know that during that time, everyone was in danger, and I stayed at home all the time—"

"I noticed that you changed your wife, so where did Vera go?" Little Barty interrupted him and asked, he leisurely twirled a wand, and Sean stared at it:

"We've been divorced a long time ago." He decided to tell the truth. "She left my house shortly after the Dark Lord fell."

"If you don't know the whereabouts of my daughter, then you can at least answer me with something else." Little Barty took out a photo from his pocket and patted it on the coffee table. Sean was startled. Photos from the night of the Chill Manor fire.Little Barty observed his expression, and said again, "I have found sufficient evidence... to prove that the Rozier Manor is full of doubts. Now I am very curious, what happened to the fire? In other words, who was there that night? Stepped into Rozier Manor?"

"I don't know. I'm not a Death Eater," Sean whispered. "You've always known that...the only thing I ever did to get myself behind bars was participating in the Source of Life project."

Little Barty squinted at him: "Then I'll be straightforward."

Sean's lips quivered slightly.

"First, go and investigate the Rozier Manor." Little Barty stopped playing with his wand, "Second, go and find out the whereabouts of my daughter." He suddenly stared straight at Sean, the latter's There was a sudden chill in my heart.Little Barty stood up slowly, walked in front of Sean and looked down at those eyes filled with fear and nervousness, "I'll give you a year."
