HP Midnight Light

"And what did the papers say?"

Cornelia turned a page calmly: "It's just a few Muggles who died."

"'Just'?" Olivia raised her eyebrows, "Leah, your tone is too understated."

"You know," Cornelia turned another page, "Muggles..."

"Muggles are human too, but they don't have magical powers." Thinking of Ann, Mrs. Balmer, and the kind-hearted people she met, Hyacinth inevitably felt a little disappointed by Cornelia's attitude. She held out her hand, "Can I see it?"

Cornelia glanced at her, and suddenly laughed: "Okay, Hyacinth, why are you so serious?" She said while pulling out the newspaper, "Here, here you are. I just think we can rest assured Just stay in the castle, and whoever dies outside has nothing to do with us?"

"Leah." Olivia couldn't help giving her a disapproving look.

Hyacinth ignored it, and she found the report, which was located in the center of the newspaper, and it was written in a shocking font: "Five Muggles in Milford Haven died, and the Ministry of Magic confirmed that it was written by the Death Eater."

"This means that the Death Eaters will soon cross the sea to Ireland." Hyacinth said to herself, the speed at which the Dark Lord's power expanded was beyond her imagination.

"What are you talking about?" Olivia asked.

"It's nothing." Hyacinth wanted to fold the newspaper, but Olivia had already pressed the paper first. She frowned and read the report as quickly as possible, and couldn't help feeling cold: "Isn't this The first Muggle murder of the month? That's too often."

"Don't worry about that," Cornelia tried impatiently to skirt the subject, "they're just Muggles! Death Eaters are targeting Muggles and not wizards, so what does that have to do with us?"

"At this rate, the victim will soon be replaced by a wizard." Hyacinth said, "For example, a hemp seed wizard."

Cornelia seemed greatly offended, she let go of the newspaper and let it fall to the ground: "What do you mean, Hyacinth?"

"Isn't this always your purpose?" Hyacinth said meaningfully, "For example, your father—"

"Enough!" Cornelia straightened up abruptly and looked around, and finally she looked at Hyacinth angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"You talk about them like you're talking about ants," Hyacinth shook her head. "You won't understand my thoughts, just as I don't understand yours."

Olivia said anxiously: "Both—"

"I understand what you're thinking, Hyacinth, do you think you can no longer stay out of it? Because of your Muggle friends?" Cornelia snatched the newspaper from the table, crumpled it up and threw it into the fireplace , her beautiful eyes fixed on Hyacinth, "Don't forget that you are a wizard, you did not belong to Muggle society in the past, and you will not belong to it in the future."

Hyacinth waved her hand and stood up: "I don't want to argue with you, because you don't understand at all..."

"There's nothing I don't understand, dear friend." Cornelia calmed down again, "On the contrary, you still don't understand the fact that Muggles are inferior to wizards."

"Let's not discuss this, just as I think it's only two steps from 'wizards first' to 'purity' and then to 'Death Eaters', you don't understand the so-called 'Muggle' How ridiculous it is to be inferior to wizards."

"How ridiculous are you talking about?"

Hyacinth hesitated for a moment: "Wizards think they are superior to others only because they possess magic."

"Yes, then aren't Muggles an inferior creature?"

"We can't make sense." Hyacinth gave up, she got up, "I'm sorry, if you don't mind, I want to go to the library—"

"You should use 'us' instead of 'them', you are a wizard, not a Muggle," Cornelia said behind her, "Don't confuse yourself just because you grew up in the Muggle community!"

"Leah!" Olivia yelled, and Hyacinth walked out of the stone door as if she didn't hear her. She looked at Cornelia with condemning eyes, "That's too much."

Cornelia folded her arms and squinted at Olivia: "Why, you also think I'm wrong? You also heard how she mentioned my father!" Although Cornelia was worried about her father's death She was proud of her status as a disciple, but at this moment she did not dare to publicize it in Hogwarts.

"You shouldn't use the fact that you grew up in the Muggle community to attack Hyacinth." Olivia pointed out the problem, "You have to know that she can't have no feelings for Muggles."

"She should know who she is." Cornelia bent down and picked up the newspaper on the ground, shaking her heart calmly, "Don't forget that we are working hard to promote unity among wizards, and as for Muggles, they don't even cooperate with us." In the same world. Imagine, Ollie, do you think you could possibly fall in love with a Muggle? Would you possibly live like a Muggle? Of course the answer is no. But if you ask Hire these questions If Xin Si said, I'm afraid I will get a different answer? This is the crux of the matter."

"You mean, Hyacinth is different from us?" Olivia moved and sat down beside Cornelia, "She's more like a Muggle?" Her eyes widened involuntarily—

"I'm trying to make her understand that she shouldn't get close to Muggles. After all, I don't want her to become a pure-blood traitor." Cornelia sorted out the newspapers one by one, and sighed, "Ollie, you also know that 'pure blood' "Blood traitor" is such a serious accusation. Naturally, I can't bear for Hyacinth to be reduced to that level, but she doesn't seem to understand my painstaking efforts."

"You should express it in a more gentle way." Olivia mused over Cornelia's words, "But, Leah, is Hyacinth a pure-blood traitor? I mean, she didn't The Muggle community shows a very strong yearning."

"But trees always grow from seeds, yes, now she is only sympathizing with Muggles, so what's next? If she starts to help Muggles, and even chooses to be our enemy—"

Olivia gasped: "She wouldn't do that!"

"No one can tell, Ollie." Cornelia had a panoramic view of her expression, "If she was in the opposite camp with me, Regu, and Signus, you would still think she was Is your friend? Would you keep in touch with her if she was pro-Muggle and anti-wizard society? Ollie, Ollie, you are too innocent to see the connection. My words are blunt, but To wake her up."

When Hyacinth entered the library, Margaret was sprinting out of it, clutching a letter, and they nearly collided.After narrowly dodging, Hyacinth noticed something glittering in her eyes, but Margaret ran straight down the corridor without even saying hello to her.

"Her father refused her request," Sirius said behind her, and Hyacinth turned her head to see that he looked no better than Margaret.It was Mr. Watson's attitude that sealed their last hope.

"Why is she crying?" Hyacinth asked in a low voice, even if she married Sirius, it wouldn't make Margaret cry.

"Mr. Watson's wording is very bad. He accused Margaret of being ignorant and only messing around. He also asked her if she had taken a fancy to someone who was not up to date at Hogwarts—Margaret In the letter to him, she mentioned that she has someone she likes—the most important thing is," Sirius paused, "he told Margaret not to have inappropriate fantasies, even if it wasn't for me, he would choose A son-in-law he is satisfied with, instead of letting Margaret do as he pleases, he can do everything else according to Margaret's wishes, except marriage. He may have already guessed that Margaret fell in love with Snell People like Pu, that's why...the attitude is so bad."

"But what are you going to do now?" Hyacinth looked at Sirius impatiently.James came out from behind him:

"Don't ask, Padfoot is already going crazy about this." He glanced at Sirius and continued, "Their parents decided to exchange rings right after their holiday—but there are not many days until the holiday gone."

"I decided to go back and have a nice talk with my good mother, to see if she would change her mind." Sirius smiled wryly, "I can't imagine being locked up in Black's old house for the rest of my life. living like my parents.”

"If it's not possible, you can still run away from home," Hyacinth blurted out, "anyway is better for you than staying at home, right?"

There was a fleeting gleam in Sirius' eyes.

"Little girl, I'm afraid you don't know that when Padfoot returns home, he will be under unprecedented strict supervision. What's more, Black's old house is impenetrable, even cockroaches and mice cannot come in and out at will." James patted heavily Sirius' shoulder, the latter forced a smile:

"Don't worry about me, Hyacins, my mother won't let me go so easily."

This smile made Hyacinth feel even more uncomfortable, she averted her eyes, and couldn't bear to see the hopeless sadness in Sirius' eyes.

"When did you become so familiar with Sirius Black?" Not long after she sat down in the library, Cornelia sat down opposite her with a book, seeing Hyacinth's slightly changed expression, She shrugged and laughed, "Come on, Hyacins, I know I offended you with what I said earlier—but I'm worried about you, too."

"Worried about me?" Hyacinth repeated.

"That's right. You have to know that under the current situation, your sympathetic attitude towards Muggles can easily lead to disaster for yourself." Cornelia put down the book in her hand, "Do you remember when you first entered school? How do people treat you? Do you want to be the target of public criticism again?"

Hyacinth quickly lowered her eyes and looked at the parchment in front of her: "They won't."

"I'm sorry for being like that to you today, but... well, I'm so excited."

"I shouldn't have said that about your father either, sorry," Hyacins replied.

Cornelia said enough, she looked at the predators who gathered together in the distance: "He's pretty handsome."

Hyacinth continued to write without looking away.

"But with all due respect, no matter what, you shouldn't get too close, after all, you are not from the same world."

"Oh?" Cornelia's words aroused a slight dissatisfaction in Hyacinth, and she seemed to be aware of it. Hearing Hyacinth's retort, Cornelia leaned over and slightly lowered her voice:

"Don't be angry, Hyacinth, I didn't mean to be against you. It's just that you will agree with me when you think about it for yourself: Sirius Black is the Prince Charming in the hearts of all Hogwarts girls. He comes from the ancient wizard family, is not only a Quidditch star, but also has a talent for magic, and you seem too unknown in comparison. I mean, of course you are also very good, but it is undeniable that the relationship between you and Sirius That's a huge gap. Not to mention—" she chuckled, "you're from Slytherin, but he's a Gryffindor."

"My whole family are Gryffindors except me."

"Except for him, his whole family are Slytherins." Cornelia continued, "Therefore, his family and friends will not accept you like this."

Hyacinth's fingers clenched the parchment slightly, she knew very well that what Cornelia said was true.

"You think too much, Leah, although Sirius is very charming, but I'm not a fool." She tried to calm down and forced herself to look at the parchment again, "There are enough stupid girls in Hogwarts, I don't Interested in doing the next one."

"But--"

"The few limited interactions between me and him were all due to accidents." Hyacinth even laughed easily, "After all, who would refuse the opportunity to talk to Sirius?"

Without giving Cornelia any chance to speak, she picked up the quill, only to find that the place where she stopped writing just now has been stained with ink stains into a striking ink blob.
