HP Midnight Light

Hyacinth's first reaction was to look at Olivia, she quickly squeezed Hyacinth's hand and sent an encouraging look.

Narcissa had already got up and ran out. Although Cornelia didn't chase her out, she also got up and walked around the sofa anxiously.There was chatter and laughter coming from the stairs, and the arrival of Bellatrix had attracted unprecedented attention from the whole Black family. Hyacinth even heard footsteps coming from the stairs, as if the people upstairs were also alarmed.

However, as Bella's voice approached from far away, Hyacinth began to fidget.She vaguely guessed that Narcissa's indifference and alienation were not entirely out of nature, and that Bella would only be more persistent on the so-called "birth" issue.

"Don't be afraid." Olivia held her hand tightly and comforted her in a low voice.

"... It was a wise decision to invite Lucius over for Christmas. Dad finally got home." Bella said loudly, walking into the room hand in hand with Narcissa.She looks exactly like Mrs. Deruela, with a kind of glamorous beauty, but Bella's demeanor and behavior are more similar to Mrs. Black, except that Bella's body is a little less elegant, and her gestures are more cold and arrogant. .

Cornelia couldn't wait to go forward: "Long time no see, Bella."

Margaret also got up silently and wanted to change to the single sofa next to her.

"No—just sit there, dear Margaret." Bella let go of Narcissa and walked towards Margaret with a smile, "How is your father?"

"Not bad." Margaret replied with a smile.

Cornelia's greeting was naturally ignored, and there was a hint of embarrassment and resentment on her face, but it was fleeting.

"Cunning old thing!" Bella giggled, "Maybe I have to pay him a visit later." She let Margaret go, stood up and looked at Olivia condescendingly, "Are you The daughter of the Burst family?" Her eyes were like knives, and Olivia's eyes did not blink:

"Yes."

"Your brother is Signus?" She came over and put her hand lightly on Olivia's shoulder.But Olivia remained calm: "Yes."

"Signus... I haven't had the honor of meeting him yet, but I've heard a lot about him... He's said to be a promising young man. Maybe ten years from now he'll be a great man... Your name is Olivia, isn't it? Well, I hope you're as...as smart as your brother." She hissed, "What about you?" She suddenly looked sideways at the only stranger here. Girl, "I don't remember who you are..."

"I'm Hyacinth White." Hyacinth held her breath and replied in the silence.Bella's eyes lit up, she took a light breath, walked straight to Hyacinth and bent down to look at her.She was so close that Hyacins almost fainted.

"White?" There was a hint of coldness in her hoarse voice.

"Yes." Hyacinth shivered slightly involuntarily. She could feel Bella's sudden ups and downs of emotions, just like the temperature in the lounge was dropping sharply.

"Interesting..." Bella straightened up slowly and took a step back, her eyes widened, shining with inexplicable excitement.Bella looked down at the terrified Hyacinth, and completely put away the smile on her face: "Who brought her here? Huh?" She asked in a low voice.Although Bella didn't turn her head back, Cornelia and Olivia's faces suddenly became equally pale. Margaret hesitated to speak with a worried expression, but Narcissa signaled her not to intervene in this matter with her eyes. thing.

"Who brought her here!" Without waiting for an answer, Bellatrix flew into a rage, almost growling.Even the gorgeous clothes couldn't cover up the bloody smell belonging to the Death Eaters, and Hyacinth trembled violently.Bella reached out her hand roughly to grab her chin, "Who brought this ant into the noble old house of Black!" She drew out her wand with surprisingly quick movements and pressed it against Hyacinth's chest.

"I."

"it's me."

Cornelia and Olivia spoke at the same time, and their faces were completely drained of blood.

"Sissy," Bella said directly to her sister, "Who did you invite?"

"'Cornelia and her close friends'." Narcissa repeated the content on the invitation card blankly.

"It's an odd number." Bella said in a victorious tone, "I really don't understand... who among you is so stupid? You can't read a sentence... How can such a person be in charge?"

Cornelia's face was pale, but miraculously maintained a steady tone: "I'm sorry, I thought Sissy meant my friends—"

"Hush! Stupid little girl." Bella laughed shrilly, and Cornelia's hands were shaking, "You think? You think?" Bella raised her voice, "Cissy's You would never invite someone like that to a tea party... Look at her, look at you. Leah, I thought you knew how to choose a company. I expected you to know who to hang out with. Looks like you're not doing well. Well, then let me tell you what to do. Now, you," she looked straight at Hyacinth with a cruel smile, "get out of my mansion immediately!"

Hyacinth's ears were ringing, her mind was blank, and the window panes were trembling slightly.There was deathly silence in the lounge, save for Bella's lingering voice.Hyacinth didn't move immediately, Bella's words and attitude seemed to take away her ability to act and think.

"Get up, little girl!" Bella laughed cruelly. "I'll count to three: one, two, three—whispering—"

The lounge door was pushed open roughly.Bella turned her head abruptly, and Sirius leaned against the doorframe, folded his arms, and looked at her with a half-smile: "Please don't do that to my guest, Bella. Hyacinth is my It was specially invited."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Bella asked through gritted teeth.

"Hyatings is my guest." Sirius replied calmly, "so please stop pointing your wand at her."

"You—this is Cissy's tea party!" For a few seconds, Bella seemed on the point of throwing insults at Sirius, but she managed to hold herself back.

"I just happened to invite a guest on the same day, isn't that allowed?" Sirius asked sharply.

"lie!"

"I do not have."

"You actually got mixed up with this kind of bastard? Sirius, you should have been crossed off the family tree!" Bella finally couldn't hold back, "First the scum Potter, then the scum Pediru, and now you and the Squib Your cubs are mixed together? You son of a bitch, you made the family--"

"I'm sorry!" Sirius put away his restless expression, and he strode towards Bella - he was taller than Bella, which suppressed her momentum imperceptibly - and said sharply, "To my Be respectful, my friends!"

"What else? You—"

"Bella!" Narcissa raised her voice in time and interrupted her sister's words. She stood up and took Bella's arm, her tone was not very good, "Enough."

Bella gasped for breath and glared at Sirius with resentment.

Sirius stared at Bella with disgust: "Aren't you following?"

Olivia pushed her, and Hyacins stood up in a panic.Narcissa held Bella's arm tightly, Olivia was still in shock, Cornelia had stood up, and Margaret nodded slightly to signal her to go with Sirius.Hyacinth didn't care about that much, she hastily walked to Sirius' side.Although she didn't dare to look at Bella, she could hear her panting, like... Hyacinth shuddered, and Sirius stretched out his hand to pull her straight out of the lounge.

"Enjoy your tea party," he said mockingly.

"You—!" Bella was irritated again.

"Bella!" Narcissa called, and Sirius closed the door behind him.

"I didn't expect you to come here, and I ran into Bella by chance." Sirius led him up the stairs, and there was a sign on the door facing the stairs, with Sirius' name written on it.

"Come in." Sirius greeted.

This room must have been beautiful Blake style before too.But with so many posters and photos on the wall, the original silver-gray satin was no longer visible.As if to emphasize his own uniqueness, there were several large, prominent Gryffindor gold and red banners in the room, emphasizing his difference from the rest of the Slytherin family.

"If you want to leave now, I can take you downstairs to the fireplace." Sirius asked Hyacins behind her back as she looked at the motorcycle photos on the wall.

"No need." She shook her head, "I'd better go back with Olivia." She knew that Mr. and Mrs. Birds would be surprised by her early return.

"Okay - Kreacher!" Sirius called out an unfamiliar name, and with a crackling sound, an ugly creature appeared in the room, Hyacinth was startled by it, and she backed away repeatedly After taking a few steps, it was only then that he realized that it was probably the legendary house elf.

"Master Sirius." The elf with a big nose and wearing a tea towel with Black's family crest on it bowed deeply to Sirius, and spoke in a hoarse voice like a bullfrog, "What are your orders?"

"Go and tell Regulus," Sirius said impatiently, "tell him to tell Olivia not to forget to take her friends with her when she leaves."

"Yes, master." The elf bowed comically again.

"Remember, no one can hear your conversation except Regulus." Sirius added after thinking for a while, "That's it."

"Of order, master." Kreacher bowed again, and with a bang, it disappeared into the air.

Hyacinth stared curiously at the place where Kreacher disappeared just now. She had never seen a house-elf, but she knew that this kind of magical creature only appeared in rich and old families. Loyal and said to be the best servant in the world.

"Kreacher doesn't like me very much, but that's okay, his respectful attitude towards my mother is simply terrifying." Sirius picked up the teapot on the table, "Sit down wherever you want."

Hyacinth still couldn't help but want to look at the pictures on the wall - it was obvious that a large number of them were Muggle pictures.She had to admire Sirius' courage.

"Did you stay at the Bulstrode's over Christmas?"

"Yes, Mrs. Bulstrode invited me to go." Hyacinth felt the need to thank Sirius for his brave actions just now, "Thank you so much just now, I thought..." I thought Bella would Killed her.

"Her screams can blow up an entire street." Sirius handed her a cup of hot tea and a sugar bowl, "Although Bella's worldview has been like this since many years ago, her reaction today It was too intense. I strongly suspect it has something to do with what she is doing." He said with a very contemptuous attitude.

Hyacinth glanced at him cautiously, and just happened to be caught by Sirius, who smiled: "You want to ask if she is a Death Eater? Of course... What's more frightening is that other people in my family are still Proud of that."

Hyacinth couldn't answer.

"Speaking of which, what happened just now won't affect your friends?" Sirius asked.Hyacinth shook her head quickly: "I don't think so. After all, Bella just mentioned Olivia's brother before, and Cornelia's father is... a Death Eater."

"That's good. Bella is a person who likes to blame others." Sirius explained, "I hope you don't see her a second time in the future, she still holds grudges."

"No." Hyacinth shook her head repeatedly, "But didn't you go to James' house?" She asked curiously.

"My good mother will not allow me to miss Christmas, although my existence is not necessary." Sirius sneered, and said a little darkly, he pointed to the floor, "You see, I am alone upstairs .Of course, everyone else is talking about Death Eaters and the Dark Arts, and if I go there I'll be arguing with everyone in less than five minutes." He laughed himself first.

Hyacinth couldn't help feeling sympathetic towards him: "You might as well stay at Hogwarts for the holidays."

"My good mother won't allow it." Sirius shrugged, he noticed that Hyacinth had been looking at the posters on the wall, "Have you seen these in the Muggle world?" He gestured happily to Hayes Ossings looked at the pictures posted at the top, apparently of the latest motorcycles.

"If it's motorcycles, there are many on the streets of London. But I haven't seen the ones you have. They are probably new." She happened to see some bikini posters of Muggle girls, and Hyacinth recognized them. Photos in Sports Illustrated, she almost laughed out loud, "Why are you posting these?"

Sirius saw what she was looking at.Immediately coughed awkwardly: "Those are not important." He said vaguely.

"It looks like you don't know anything about the Muggle world," Hyacinth joked. "These are just Sports Illustrated."

"It sounds like you understand it very well." Sirius mocked.

"Unfortunately, a street boy like me is different from a young master like you." Hyacinth found herself poking Sirius' sore spot, "I'm not talking about you being pampered or anything... ..."

"It's okay." Sirius didn't care, "What is 'street boy'?"

"It means people who have nothing to do, idle around, and spend all day picking trouble in the streets."

"That doesn't sound like a good word." Sirius couldn't laugh or cry, but Hyacinth glanced at him contemptuously: "What do you know, street boys can be cool." She sighed, "Oh, I know you don’t have the chance to see these things: graffiti on the street, girls in the red light district, young people drinking in the bridge hole at midnight...Although it’s a bit vulgar, this is life.”

Sirius urged with great interest: "Keep talking."

"No, I can't mislead a Hogwarts prince like you with Muggle commonplace—"

"'Prince of Hogwarts'?" Sirius repeated with disgust, "Who did you hear it from? Could it be you who made it up yourself?"

Hyacinth quickly lied: "Of course not! It's Olivia, uh... She said Regulus was the little prince, so you have to be the eldest prince..." She smirked.

"Let's continue talking about the Muggle world." Sirius demanded, "If you refuse, I'll tell Regulus and Olivia what you just said—by the way, plus what I said in the book before. You said in the restaurant that she liked Regulus."

The author has something to say:

Note:

1. Kreacher's attitude: Sirius hadn't run away from home at this time, at least maintaining the relationship with the family on the surface.So I guess Kreacher doesn't think so badly of him yet.

2. Bella: Bella was about 1975 years old in 24.I think she is not so crazy and paranoid at this time, but it should be showing signs.She should firstly dislike Gryffindors (even though Hyacinth is Slytherin, the rest of her family are Gryffindors), and secondly she will not look down on Squibs, and may even see them as A disgrace/scum of wizards.
