HP Midnight Light

- September 1976, 9 - Wood's Orphanage / King's Cross, London

"install:

The law and order in the London area is not good these days, please take care, don't go out alone, if there is any suspicious situation, you must tell the administrator or Mrs. Barmer.Also, you have to take care of yourself while I'm away, and don't forget what you promised me last night.

The address is as follows.

Hyacinth stay"

Ann was still asleep, and Hyacinth tiptoed down a note on her bedside table.

"See you next year!" She waved at Ann.

As Hyacinth carried her suitcase down the steps of the orphanage, Brookshaw poked her head out of her coat pocket, meowing excitedly.Then a cold wind blew, and Hyacinth flinched, and at the same time she recalled some days during the summer holidays when the sky in London was unnaturally overcast.This was of course the work of the Death Eaters, who deserved to be taken by the Aurors.Hyacinth wrapped her coat tightly and flagged down a taxi.

How did a Slytherin get involved with that kind of scum?Cornelia's questioning voice suddenly sounded out of thin air, and Hyacinth was startled, but there was no one around, and the voice just now seemed to be just an illusion that flashed in her mind.She collected herself and stuffed the suitcase into the back seat of the taxi.

Little did Hyacins know that a pair of eyes had been watching her secretly for a long time.

Lily Evans and her parents tearfully bid farewell on the platform, her older sister Petunia refused to come and see her off, and despite Lily's repeated pleas, she refused to even open the door.

"Petunia is getting more and more outrageous." Mr. Evans complained angrily about the ignorance of his eldest daughter.

"Petunia didn't do it on purpose." Lily defended her sister.She hadn't forgotten how much she and Snape had hurt Petunia a few years ago by peeking at the letters, and in fact the relationship between their sisters had been pulled apart suddenly since then.The Evans think Penny is jealous of her sister, but Lily thinks she broke her sister's heart.

Mrs. Evans did not forget to remind: "Remember to write to us."

"Good mother." Lily remembered what Mary and Marlene had reminded her, and quickly emphasized again, "You must be careful, and write to me immediately if there is anything wrong, okay? Also, If any strange things happen near your home, please remember to stay away. If necessary...even if you move. In short, always be vigilant." Lily felt the Muggle birth for the first time A sense of powerlessness, assuming that Death Eaters really broke into the house, her parents and sister would be powerless.

"Okay, we all know." Mrs. Evans looked at her little daughter lovingly, "You don't have to worry about us."

"Your mother and I were both born during World War II. When we were young, even if the German army was dropping bombs on London, wouldn't we just do what we should?" Mr. Evans boasted, and Lily couldn't help laughing:

"Anyway, you guys have to take care of yourselves. Promise me."

"Swear to God!"

None of the Evans family noticed a scruffy boy hidden behind the colonnade not far away. He stared blankly at Lily who was laughing happily, his eyes full of longing and annoyance.

And Margaret looked away.Mr. Watson on the opposite side was sighing again: "I'm sorry, Maggie, I will never force you to get engaged to someone else in the future. That Sirius is such a bastard, if I have the chance to see him, I will definitely take him I beat them all over the ground to find my teeth."

"I'm fine, Father. It's enough to be sad for such a trivial matter for a while." Margaret came back to her senses, "But you, stop saying that you want to teach Sirius a lesson, I don't think you've been here for a long time I've used an offensive spell."

"Don't you believe it," Mr. Watson couldn't bear the contempt from the only child, "I didn't say I swept Hogwarts when I was young, at least no one in Slytherin dared to mess with me. Back then, I cast a stun spell with my left hand and a spell with my right hand A bottle of water of life and death, otherwise how could I stand out and make your mother fancy?"

"Father." Margaret tried her best not to laugh, "You promised me to teach me how to make the water of death this Christmas, don't forget."

"Okay, okay, no problem." Mr. Watson looked at his only daughter dotingly, "If you need anything, write to me, and I will send it to you. Or you can order it yourself."

At this time, the Potter family and Sirius happened to be walking from behind Mr. Watson, and Margaret hurriedly gave her father a warm hug, and secretly made a half-circle to avoid him meeting Sirius.

When Hyacinth rushed into the station with her luggage in a hurry, Lily Evans said goodbye to her parents, and Margaret managed to send Mr. Watson home.Remus and Peter fidgeted in the carriage waiting for their good friend Sirius to tell the adventures of this summer vacation. A rebellious prodigal temperament.This is not pejorative.In fact, the fiery gazes cast on him continued unabated, and almost all the girls pressed their faces to the glass in an instant.

James, who was walking by Sirius' side, reluctantly withdrew his gaze from Lily, and whistled at Sirius' cropped trousers and gorgeous T-shirt: "Hey, buddy, they will jump!" Come up and eat you." He winked at the stunned Remus and Peter in the carriage.The former stared blankly at Sirius' long hair, and he realized that Sirius seemed to be dangerously trying to imitate James' "messy beauty", except that the latter was purely messy and the former had an extra beauty; Staring at a necklace Sirius was wearing, its eagle-shaped pendant seemed to be announcing to the world that Sirius Black and Slytherin were completely separated, Peter was so excited that he was out of breath and almost passed out on the ground.

"Hold on, Peter. Don't forget that the one you admire most is James." Remus also felt that he was about to suffocate. His mother was a Muggle, so he had seen Muggles who looked similar to Sirius but had the opposite effect. young people.At this moment, Remus was deeply impressed by his friend's beauty.

Cornelia naturally saw this scene, and she sneered majestically, fully expressing her disgust for Sirius. The 15-year-old Cornelia has already begun to have an aggressive beauty, and people can easily see the shadow of Medusa in her.And Signus Burst beside her is more similar to the snake itself. Even though he still behaves politely and speaks softly, this does not prevent the rest of the people from noticing the poppy-like radiance from Signus. Evil temperament.Similarly, people can also see the faint fanaticism and loss in Regulus' eyes. He used to always hide under the halo of his elder brother, but now, the era of Regulus seems to be slowly unfolding. It's hard to say whether he will become a more dazzling figure than his brother in a few years.Of course, Olivia Burst looked as usual as a hidden flower in a greenhouse, but with her brother's rise, so would her value.Today she is still a meek lamb, maybe tomorrow she will become Satan's bride.

Sirius Black's rift with the family was clearly the stuff of headlines that students would relish all year long, but Hyacins couldn't help noticing a subtle change in the inner circle she belonged to. She felt the change from the moment she met them - although Signus did not participate in this foursome, he left enough influence to make Cornelia and Regulus The relationship between Si and Si suddenly became tighter, and the three of them seemed to form a brand new triangle relationship, and Olivia was also tightly bound in it.

As for Hyacinth, she could feel herself being sidelined.And she soon knew why—

"I got permission to join the ranks of Death Eaters next year." Cornelia announced with suppressed ecstasy, her eyes filled with fascination and madness, "I could have joined this Christmas, But my father insisted that I go to 'experience' some more." Hyacinth was stunned, she had expected that Cornelia would follow in the footsteps of the Dark Lord, but she did not expect it to be so fast and so sudden .Unexpected news is yet to come:

"Me too. The Dark Lord promised me that I will be officially branded when summer comes." Regulus slowly rolled up the sleeve of his left hand, where the skin was still smooth now, but Regulus stared longingly at his own. The skin seemed to be imagining the slow emergence of a Dark Mark.

Hyacinth shuddered, and she suddenly realized the meaning of Signus' existence: "Ollie, your brother..."

"Yes, he is already one of them." Olivia replied with a smile.Hyacinth was horrified to find that there was a strange sense of admiration on her face, instead of resistance.In just a few days, Olivia has become like a brainwashed puppet doll.Hyacinth felt terrified that a certain part of her soul seemed to be taken away, and the supplement was filled in by someone else. Olivia was still Olivia, but Olivia Not exactly Olivia.

Hyacinth quickly guessed that their sudden change had something to do with the person they had met that day.

"This is really good news." She tried her best to sound cheerful, but it sounded hypocritical, she never expected that she would be excluded so quickly for not being a Death Eater, "Congratulations you."

"Don't worry, we are still your friends." Olivia said gently, but this time Hyacinth couldn't find any comfort from it.She studied Olivia's face carefully, her smile impeccable but unconvincing.Hyacinth was keenly aware that her eyes had also lost that lively look.

"We will be reused. Bella told me that there is a lack of young people like us around the Dark Lord. Yes, the opportunity to change the magic world is right in front of us." Cornelia crossed her fingers, and she stared deeply Looking at Hyacinth, he said loudly, "We have the opportunity to reshape the order of this world. This world is experiencing turmoil, and we are fortunate to have Merlin's favor. Between God and the world, there is always the strong Right to carry out his will, now he has chosen us, and we must remain loyal and fanatical until the last moment."

She's rhetorical and demagogic, and if Hyacins had been a vacillating, weak-willed centrist, she might have thought Cornelia had a point.Unfortunately, she had already made a decision secretly in her heart a long time ago.

"It's good to see you think that, Cornelia," she tried to sound sincere, "I have to say you learned a lot from Bella—"

"So you're on our side, right?" Cornelia interrupted her for the first time, and she stared straight at Hyacinth despite the offense, and Hyacinth looked back at her, consciously Seeing that Cornelia is testing her, she is trying to pry into her heart...

Before she could answer, Cornelia's tone suddenly became severe, and she changed her words: "Do you support us?"

"Of course." Hyacinth read the dangerous message from Cornelia's eyes. She remembered Sirius' warning, quickly controlled the ups and downs in her heart, and forced herself to look at Cornelia calmly. "We should separate ourselves from those lesser blood... There is no doubt that every drop of wizard blood is extremely precious, isn't it?" she asked cautiously.Cornelia seemed to spend a few seconds trying to discern the true meaning of her words, but Hyacinth's last sentence undoubtedly hit her mind:

"Of course." Cornelia agreed, "I have always believed that there is no need to waste the lives of wizards. If they are willing to submit to us, then they are our friends. Otherwise, they are our enemies. I believe the Dark Lord thinks so too , right?" She sought Lei Gu's support.

Regulus smiled: "That's right." He turned to look at Hyacinth, "I'm glad you agree with us. Although you are not a member of our team, but..."

"But thoughts can be changed, right?" Cornelia smiled deceptively.

The coolness rose from the soles of the feet to the heart, and Hyacinth was horrified to find that when Cornelia and Regulus smiled at her, the body behind the smile seemed to be no longer the person she was familiar with, but more Like "she" and "he".Hyacinth flinched, as if facing two approaching, hissing and spitting snakes.

"Yes, that's right," she put her trembling hands on her lap, "it's just that I need a little more time."

The author has something to say:

Note:

1. Marquez's "One Hundred Years of Solitude": In the episode of "Night of Dawn", Pansy found another book of Marquez's "Love in the Time of Cholera" in Hyacinth's study, but in 1976 The latter has not yet been published.Considering that Hyacinth would have little chance to have access to a large number of Muggle books, I lent her the hand of Ann.

2. Mr. Evans' words are purely to comfort Lily. Most people chose to evacuate London temporarily during the war between Britain and Germany.

3. "Mary" appeared once in the original book, and seems to be Lily's friend, but there is no more detailed information.She will appear later on.

4. "Tracey" is Mrs. Zabini, Blaise's mother, whose name is invented.

5. Sirius was dressed in the hippie style that was popular at the time.

6. Some of Cornelia's speeches are adapted from Hi-T-Le's quotations.

7. What Hyacinth said "wizard blood is precious" is actually what Voldemort said in the original book.
