HP Midnight Light

The pure evil aura seemed to be passing away on Cornelia and Regulus, and Hyacinth clearly felt that the fearsome power had gradually faded over time, but she couldn't determine the meaning of it. Regulus and Cornelia finally woke up, or it was just their deliberate cover-up.By now, Hyacinth did not dare to jump to conclusions.

However, it was obvious that Cornelia and Regulus began to spend more and more time mixing with some senior students.At first it was just Signus, then Snape joined, and eventually it grew to more people; at first they only met privately and clandestinely, and after a while the gatherings took place openly in the common room.The leader was of course Signus, who rose suddenly and overwhelmed so many people whose fathers were close to the Dark Lord, and easily became the leader of the Slytherins.

Hyacinth's role is also subtly shifting.At the beginning of school, she was not involved in these activities like Olivia, but one day Cornelia suddenly "invited" them to sit in with a rather strong posture, and Hyacinth could not refuse, so she had to "graciously" go to the appointment .

That was also the first time that Hyacinth participated in the dark arts activities in Hogwarts.In the evening, irrelevant people left voluntarily, Signus raised his wand, the clutter receded, the armchair and sofa slowly moved into a perfect circle, and hot tea and butterbeer were poured into the cups.The huge chandelier exudes cold light, the chains move without wind and make a crackling sound, and the gorgeous tapestry tells the outstanding adventures of the predecessors, one wall is Gothic marble, and the other is a transparent crystal ceiling.

Bloody Baro drifted past slowly, his robe was stained with old blood, and his shackles were already rusted.Barrow looked up at the sparkling lake without saying a word. In the past, he was also an arrogant and high-spirited wizard, and his empty eyes once reflected the sky full of stars, but now he can only be confined to this place, Never see the light of day.His hands are stained with the blood of his lover, so his soul is not spared.

Signus flicked his wand again, and the transparent green flame licked the fireplace, gradually turning into the face of Salazar Slytherin.The old wizard from the quagmire caressed the snake entwined around his neck, and his haughty gaze glides across the cage at the bottom of the lake that he built with his own hands.Cornelia stumbled to her knees in front of the fireplace and passionately kissed the carpet, Regulus murmured as if possessed, more and more people joined in, and the disciples of Slytherin rushed to declare their loyalty and belief.Hyacinth had no choice, she lowered her head and pretended to fear the majesty of Salazar, but how could the dead threaten the living?She can blind others' eyes, but Salazar in the furnace laughs ironically.He saw her fear and timidity, as well as her restlessness and longing.

The old Salazar Slytherin looked at these juniors one by one with a satisfied smile. In the past, he ran away angrily, but now he can finally see the rise of Slytherin.Years have forced him to be unable to personally lead Slytherin to glory, but many years ago another young man took over the important task entrusted by Salazar. He is the successor of Slytherin, and who among these people is his successor By?Finally his eyes locked on Signus's face, a certain proud pride in those scheming eyes.Signus stroked his chest to show his respect and admiration, and his handsome and calm face showed a hint of ambition under the shining green light:

"The great Salazar Slytherin,

Please witness our greatness and determination

——Give us eternal life and resurrection.

They are unwilling to enjoy peace,

Can you see the invasion of impure blood?

——Give us transformation and invisibility.

Wise Merlin will guide us on our way,

God will bring long-lost peace.

——Give us the sword and invincibility.

The strife will end at dawn,

Even if the fire of hell burns the forbidden forest,

We can also be covered with ice

——For the continuation of blood, for Slytherin, for the immortal souls! "

Beginning with Signus, the young Slytherins chanted the future they fantasized and planned, prayed for Salazar's protection, and the man and the snake in the fireplace smiled together.But the bloody Baron was unmoved, and the ghost's heart could no longer be moved by the living.

"Take a seat, my friends." Signus sat down in the most ornately carved armchair, and with a wave of his wand, tea and butterbeer were automatically served to everyone, "Edmund, please Share the latest news," he said to the man on his right, who gave a short chuckle and took a sip of butterbeer:

"Should there be no need to mention the old news in the newspapers?" He smiled falsely but his eyes were cold. "The brave knights made fun of those Aurors yesterday. The fools from the Ministry of Magic rushed to follow the false information." A wrong location, yet the real purge took place a block away, and when the group finally arrived, there was no doubt that what awaited them was the wretched corpses of Muggles and the mess." He was deliberately dramatic. The loud voices used to exaggerate the atmosphere, many people held the venue and laughed out loud, but Hyacinth only felt the bone-chilling chill.

Edmund is a lot like Sirius, both have a haughty, laid-back air, are both gothically handsome, and both are equally infectious.But the difference is that Sirius makes people feel happy and relaxed, while Edmund is equal to hypocrisy and tension.

"This is just a small part of it," Signus said with a faint tone but a smug smile. "Actually, the knights are planning a bigger plan, but I can't tell you yet."

"What is it about?" Cornelia eagerly leaned forward and asked.

"I can't tell you, Cornelia." Signus still refused, and Cornelia's face showed obvious disappointment, "But what is certain is that once this plan is successful, our strength will be significantly improved." Improvement—I don’t mean killing a few Muggles, but greater progress.” Signus said in a seductive tone, “such as the reshaping of order, the clearing of bloodlines, and even... He looked at Salazar in the fireplace, "The Rise of Slytherin." Cornelia's face seemed to be lit up by a fire, and her hands on her knees even trembled slightly.

"Of course, there are also people from other colleges among the knights." Edmund smiled lowly, "but there is no doubt that Slytherin is the protagonist."

"Other houses? Self-righteous Ravenclaws? Stupid Hufflepuffs?" Alicia sneered meanly. Everyone the wizarding world fears comes from Slytherin."

Vera reminded: "You forgot Gryffindor, they still have Dumbledore."

"Gryffindor?" Betty snapped up, tartly. "I think we should start with Gryffindor first, and look what they've got—half-blood, mudblood. Oh, that Wasn't Lily Evans one of them? Look at how James Potter is fascinated by her, it's a shame to pure blood!"

"Don't say that, didn't Severus favor Evans before?" Vera giggled, squinting at Snape.Snape let them laugh without expression, as if the name Evans had been completely wiped from him.

"That's in the past, and it's obvious that Severus knows how to choose." Signus promptly maintained the scene, "Of course the first thing we need to do is to make Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw obey us. As for Gryffindor—"

"The more difficult the prey is, the more patient you need to be." Edmund sneered.

"That's right. Even Dumbledore can't do nothing with his hands." Signus gave him an approving look. "And then, if you change your mind, Edmund, the knights will still welcome you to join—"

"Don't rush so fast, Signus, maybe I will change my mind in the future, but right now I don't have any plans to formally 'be appointed'." Edmund lazily interrupted Signus, but the latter completely No displeasure.

Betty couldn't hold back again, she couldn't wait to speak: "Shouldn't we discuss the issue of blood cleansing? Besides mudbloods, there are also half-bloods, Squibs, and other people who have ties to Muggles." She looked at it intentionally. He glanced at Hyacinth, but it was a pity that Betty didn't notice that these words affected Snape again.

"Of course we will consider this issue carefully, but don't forget, Betty, we will treat those who are on the same front as us with courtesy. This is also what the Dark Lord means." Signus emphasized, when he mentioned When the Dark Lord himself appeared, the atmosphere in the lounge suddenly became tense, and Hyacinth could read undisguised excitement, awe, and expectation from their faces, "The Dark Lord believes that we only need to target those who resist us." people, and those who choose to submit and obey are our friends."

There was a moment of silence in the lounge, Betty was ashamed, and Vera looked on coldly for a while and then refocused her gaze on Signus: "So, how can we become knights?"

"Good question." Signus smiled encouragingly, and he stretched out his hand to signal everyone to look at Cornelia and Regulus, "You must meet the following two conditions: 16. Come from an ancient pure-blood family. [-]. , There are knights who are willing to recommend you. If you meet the conditions, you will officially get the seal at the age of [-]."

Vera raised an eyebrow.Signus glanced at her: "Or you can choose to enter the reserve team first, and the Dark Lord will select those who perform well and give them marks."

She smiled slightly: "Very good."

"Don't forget that there is a premise of 'excellent performance'," Snape said suddenly, still looking gloomy, "The Dark Lord will not allow those who only talk and talk to join the knight's team."

Edmund seconded: "Yes, this is also the original intention of the establishment of the Black Magic Group, isn't it?"

"Thank you, that's true. Of course, on the other hand, you can also consider entering into a marriage contract with the knights, because it will be a double honor." Signus folded his hands, "And we always support a win-win outcome .” He looked at Olivia and Regulus expectantly, and many people followed his gaze at the pair of young men and women.

Hyacinth thought that what Signus said was far more than what it seemed.

"I heard," Regulus asked suddenly, "there will be a grander meeting soon, isn't it?"

"You are well-informed." Signus nodded appreciatively. "Yes, we plan to plan a formal meeting in Hogsmeade. At that time, you will have the opportunity to meet some knights face to face. I believe this will make you more Determine your own path."

A commotion of excitement passed through the lounge.

Hyacinth quietly watched the Whomping Willow in the wind, and she expected to meet Sirius and his friends here.

In recent days, Cornelia's attitude towards Hyacinth has warmed up. At some point, Hyacinth even mistakenly thought that Cornelia had forgotten her career as a Death Eater. However, in the next second, Corelia Nelia will always mention the Death Eaters and the theory of pure blood repeatedly, and she still insists on trying to win Hyacinth to stand on the same line with them, even probing her mind repeatedly.While dealing with Cornelia, Hyacinth comforted herself that at least it meant that Cornelia did not want to be her enemy yet.

But Hyacinth couldn't forget what Signus said at the rally and the fascination on the faces of those people. It wasn't just Olivia who was brainwashed, all of them stepped into the maze.Hyacinth hovered on the edge, trying to keep herself from being pulled in by Cornelia, and now she needed help from outside.She couldn't think of anyone better than the Marauder.

Brookshaw huddled in her lap, and Hyacinth knew she had somehow lost her friends, so Brookshaw was her only solace.But Brookshaw's presence reminded her of what happened after they parted in Diagon Alley.Hyacins didn't know who they met or what they talked about, but what was certain was that the person had such an influence on them that they could almost turn them into completely different people with just one conversation.

Of course... Hyacinth thought sarcastically, Signus also contributed to the flames, right?She could no longer connect Signus, who refused to carry the basket that day, with that dangerous and cunning Death Eater a few days ago.

"Long time no see, Hyacinth."

Hyacinth blinked her eyes, and turned her head quickly, but it was Remus and Peter who came down the hill, and she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

"Why did you come here?" Hyacinth asked after greeting her. She wanted to ask why Sirius wasn't here, but Remus naturally solved her doubts: "Let me review today's notes for Peter. " He raised the Transfiguration textbook in his hand, "As for James, he's trying to convince Lily to go to Hogsmeade with him, and Sirius is probably doing his best to help him achieve his goal."

"Will she agree?" Hyacinth asked casually.

"It's hard to say. But James isn't really annoying, although... well, he has some inappropriate behavior sometimes. You know what I mean, he and Sirius both hate Snape." Lai James explained uncomfortably.

"Who doesn't hate snots?" Peter sneered, and after Remus gave him a stern look, Peter immediately fell silent.

"What are you doing here again?" Remus asked gently, noticing Brookshaw. "This kitten is so cute. What's its name?"

"Brookshaw." The cat also seemed to like Remus very much. It crawled up to Remus' knee and rubbed its head against his hand. "Actually... I want to find Sirius." Hyacinth After hesitating for a moment, he mustered up his courage and said, "Can you bring me a message for him?"

This shows that Remus is a good guy.He didn't ask the reason, but agreed: "I will tell him that you have something to ask him. And—"

"Come here if you want to find me."

Remus nodded, and turned to another question: "How is Regulus?"

"not too good……"

Remus obviously misunderstood, he nodded in agreement: "Sirius' running away from home should have had a lot of influence on him." Of course there was influence, but Hyacinth was not sure what it was Whichever dominates.

"Speaking of which, why didn't you ask Professor McGonagall to give you tutoring?" Hyacinth asked Peter. Professor McGonagall had always given her a good impression, so she asked this question, but Peter blushed instantly. : "She...McGonagall...she is too fierce, I dare not go to her..."

"Professor McGonagall has always been very strict with the students in his own college. In fact, many Gryffindor students are a little afraid of her." Remus smiled helplessly, "And I am a prefect, since I can't restrain the paws and pointed If you use a fork, you can only help Xiao Chong."

"How did you get these nicknames?"

"Ah... I may not reveal freely, this is between predators—"

"A furry little secret!" Peter rushed to answer, while sneaking a glance at Remus, "Okay, Moonface, I won't tell it."

Hyacinth tactfully kept silent.Remus changed the subject: "Sirius said we had a great time playing with you during the summer vacation."

"Oh?" Hyacinth was a little surprised, "Did he really say that?"

"Yeah, he spent the night bragging about that motorcycle to us. Is it really that cool? James also chimed in." Peter asked enthusiastically, "They said that the speed of that motorcycle can make flying The brooms are left behind."

"Well... I don't know if you can get rid of the broomstick," said Hyacins, "but it will make your heart beat faster."

"Wow!" Peter squealed a little, "James showed me a picture, but it's a Muggle picture, the kind that doesn't move."

"Peter has always wanted to know how the camera works, but I can't explain it either." Remus said helplessly.

"I don't know, I just saw that others have used it." Hyacinth couldn't help but encourage, "You should let James and Sirius take you to London to play."

"Yes, that's what Sirius said. James said he was going to get a motorcycle too, so the four of us could go together. Sirius said he's got a good idea of ​​London." Peter chattered , "But Moonface must have been to London."

"Years ago. I remember my mom bought me an ice cream," recalls Remus. "I was very young."

"What's Muggle ice cream like?" Peter asked. "How does it compare to Diagon Alley?"

"Not so many flavors." Remus replied honestly, "It melts quickly."

He was so honest that Hyacins couldn't help laughing along with Peter.Compared with James and Sirius, Remus' personality is much more restrained, but this does not prevent him from having a doubled sense of humor.

"I heard their voices," Remus looked up to the hillside, "Looking at how proud the prongs are, Lily should agree, right?" he said to himself.

The author has something to say:

Note:

1. Of the Slytherins in school so far, only Signus is a Death Eater.

2. In the poems chanted by the students, [Eternal Life and Resurrection] corresponds to Nick Flamel’s Philosopher’s Stone and the Resurrection Stone, one of the three holy relics, [Transformation and Invisibility] corresponds to Animagus and Invisibility Cloak, [Sword and Invincible] correspond to Gryffindor's sword and the Elder Wand.I personally think this is a very subtle contrast in the original book.But the sword referred to by the students of Slytherin in the article is Excalibur, King Arthur's sword in the lake, which was found under the guidance of Merlin.

3. The original name of the Death Eater is Volpes Knight, and the title "Knight" is because the students still pay attention to concealment, and secondly, they feel that this title is more emotional.

4. Alicia, Betty and Vera once bullied Hyacinth.

5. Signus arranged the seats in a circle to pay tribute to King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table (yes, they are knights again), and express his admiration for Merlin by the way.

6. Wormtail is set to be a half-breed and mediocre, which may explain why he has an awkward position among Death Eaters.
