HP Midnight Light

Hyacins would never forget the look on Cornelia's and Regulus' faces when they saw the black booklet.

"The Dark Lord..." Cornelia gasped excitedly, "This is really that book!"

Regulus's gray eyes were burning with ecstasy. He clutched the booklet tightly for a long time, unable to speak, and finally raised his head: "Hyase, thank you so much!"

Hyacinth originally wanted to tell them about the misunderstanding, but when she met Regulus' gaze, she changed her words temporarily: "It's nothing."

Regulus carefully stuffed it into the pocket of his robe, while Cornelia tapped on the open letter on the table: "We still have a piece of news to tell Hyacinth."

"Oh, yes." He reacted, "Lucius and Narcissa are engaged. The news will be officially published in tomorrow's newspaper."

"Congratulations." Hyacinth looked at Cornelia, "Is this the big news you want to tell me when school starts?"

She thought about it: "Almost."

"Their wedding date is expected to be next summer, and the time is still a bit tight—"

"Regu?" Olivia interrupted Regulus abruptly. She bent down and picked up something that Regulus accidentally knocked down. "What is this?"

Regulus wanted to take it over: "It's just..."

"Just a book list, right?" She didn't smile.

"Actually—" Cornelia wanted to intervene, but Olivia interrupted her simply:

"Lucius is such a considerate brother-in-law," she said, in a tone of obvious sarcasm. "He praised the Dark Lord in front of you the year we entered school, didn't he?"

"I don't think Lucius said anything wrong." Cornelia interrupted again, Olivia looked at her with raised eyebrows, and she continued without doubt, "Don't you agree with the Dark Lord's idea? "

"I didn't say that." Olivia replied quickly, and she immediately turned her gun on Regulus, "Not long ago, you promised me that I would not touch anything related to black magic before the OWLs exam. Except That." She pointed to Regulus' pocket.

"I didn't say that I plan to go see it now, Ollie." Regulus raised his hand and explained helplessly, "Lucius encloses it with the letter, and I didn't ask for it on my own initiative."

"But you worship the Dark Lord." Olivia's tone softened, "and it's almost obsessed."

"The rise of the Dark Lord is expected, and his dominance is also destined." Cornelia and Regulus exchanged glances, "Tell me, Ollie: why don't you approve of Regulus' exposure to black magic?"

"Because he's too young—"

"Bella has quietly practiced the Unforgivable Curse at his age." Cornelia smiled, "I guess Signus must have received a few introductory guides to the dark arts from his seniors when he was 14 years old, right? "

"This cannot be generalized." Olivia retorted.

"Where is it different?" Cornelia looked a little aggressive, "I think you are too deeply influenced by Dumbledore and the Ministry of Magic, Ollie. There is no concept of 'dark magic' in the world, is it? A bunch of cowards who fear its power classify it as evil magic. Look what Dumbledore stands for - respect for hemp-born wizards, be friendly with Muggles, restrain the power of pure-blood families... the Dark Lord is helping us!"

"Some of his thoughts make me feel uneasy." Olivia finally admitted, "For example..."

"Are you from a pure-blood family in Slytherin, Ollie!" Cornelia said impatiently, "Or would you rather be a pure-blood traitor than prevent Regulus from taking the road to success? ? Sometimes I feel that you are afraid that Regu will steal the limelight from Signus, so you will do everything possible..."

"Okay!" Regulus interrupted her, "Stop talking. Ollie—"

But Olivia had already stood up and shouted at Cornelia with a crying voice: "How dare you say that?"

"Ollie!"

She pushed Regulus away and ran into the girls' dormitory.

"I'll go and see her." Hyacinth said to Regulus, avoiding Cornelia's gaze, "She'll be fine."

"Go away." Olivia whimpered under the covers.

Hyacinth closed the door: "She's not like us."

"Stop making excuses for her."

"I don't." She sat down on her bed. "Leah's background determines that she will be a follower of the Dark Lord, and she will be the most fanatical part."

Olivia raised her head with red eyes: "Are you angry when she said those hurtful words?"

Hyacins couldn't answer the question, she shrugged.

"Do you think the views of the Dark Lord are correct?" Olivia asked again.

"I don't know." Hyacinth continued after hesitating for a while, "But maybe you shouldn't care so much about whether Regu is in contact with black magic."

"why?"

Hyacinth sighed: "Because you can't stop it."

Even if there is no Lucius, there will be Bella; even if there is no Bella, there will be the current black magic craze in Slytherin; even if there are no external factors, as long as he thinks, Regulus will always have a way to learn all kinds of magic. All kinds of black magic.Olivia couldn't stop it at all, and no one could stop it.

"Hyase, I have an intuition." Olivia suddenly got up and knelt on the bed and looked at her, "I think...the Dark Lord will not win."

"what?"

"I really think so," she said fearfully, "really...I don't know why..."

Hyacinth's palms were sweating coldly.

"That's why I don't like Lei Gu tossing about black magic." Olivia whispered.

"Then," Hyacinth heard her own voice trembling slightly, "you can't rush for quick success."

Olivia was silent for a moment: "I understand what you mean...don't tell others what I just said."

"I won't." Hyacinth shook her head, "Forget about that thought."

Another night when Slughorn was throwing a party, and Hyacinth, as usual, was in the library doing her homework.With a hint of apology, Cornelia offered to lend her her planetarium for her to draw pictures.

There has been some awkwardness between Olivia and Cornelia since the quarrel, and while they're both trying to pretend nothing happened, Hyacins can sense that they're actually trying not to talk about certain things. topic.

"The library closes in five minutes, Miss White."

"Okay." Seeing Mrs. Pince, Hyacinth thought of the note taken away by the looters again.

She originally planned to ask Cornelia or Regulus to help get it back, but she forgot about it when she interrupted that day.

The handle cannot always be left in the hands of others.Hyacinth thought, changing a road and preparing to take a shortcut back to the dormitory.

"Torn apart!" As soon as the clinker turned a corner, she heard a cry.There was a red light oncoming, and Hyacinth had no way to dodge it, and it happened to hit Cornelia's planetarium impartially.

"Who's there?" cried a somewhat familiar voice.

"Forget it—disarm you!"

Hyacinth recognized the voice of that damned James Potter at once, so it must have been Snape who was fighting the Marauder.

Although Snape was at a disadvantage for the time being, he was not polite: "Looking faint!"

Bright lights come and go in the dark night, hitting walls or armor from time to time.Hyacinth hid behind a pair of armor and watched the battle with great interest, while thinking about how she would speak up for Snape if a professor or prefect came over later.

"Shenfeng Wusha!" Snape growled.

"There are many obstacles!" The two voices shouted at the same time, and the magic spell collided with a terrible loud noise——

"Stop!" A girl came trotting from the corridor where Hyacinth came from just now, and she pointed at one of the predators precisely and shouted, "All petrified!"

"I don't need your help!" Snape yelled furiously.

"Armor protection!" An armor curse temporarily ended the exchange of fire. "Stop, James, Sirius."

There was an unaccustomed silence in the corridor.

"Are you finished?" the girl asked.

"It has nothing to do with you." Sirius replied seriously, "Next time you'd better not get involved."

"How did he bother you?"

"What does it matter to you?" Snape asked harshly.

"What a snotty snot," said James coldly. "No wonder you're so unlikable."

The provocative intent in his tone was too obvious, and Hyacinth tensed a bit, for fear that they would continue to fight, but Snape didn't answer.

"Okay." Remus persuaded in a low voice, "You're almost done."

"Go away, you're lucky this time, snot-nosed man!" Sirius said coldly, "You are really lucky to have someone come out for you every time." He sarcastically sarcastically.

"Do you think I need help?" Snape was visibly annoyed, "Shenfeng Wuying!"

"Armor protection—if you want to continue, just say so!"

"James!"

"Two against one, you guys are really good." Snape sneered at James and then walked away. Remus directly grabbed James' wand to prevent him from attacking Snape's back:

"enough."

"Severus!" The girl hesitated for a moment but did not catch up. Instead, she waved her wand and relit the lights in the corridor. "What is this?" She saw the shattered planetarium on the ground.

"Looks like a passerby was accidentally injured here just now," James said.

"Yes." Hyacinth came out from behind the armor, and it was a Slytherin girl who helped Snape as she expected.

"you?"

"That's me," replied Hyacinth. "It seems that the rumors are true: your prefect friends never try to restrain your behavior."

"Since when did poor Moon Face ever get over us?"

"You forgot, he did try a few times, but he gave up quickly." Sirius continued.

The girl handed her the assembled planetarium back, but it was covered with stitching marks.

"I'm afraid it can't be repaired anymore," she told Hyacinth. "Such magical instruments are very delicate and irreversible... It's a pity. I remember it was an expensive planetarium."

"Don't make trouble, Margaret." Sirius warned her, "We can pay her for a new one."

Hyacinth gleefully found her time to take revenge on them: "Cornelia lent it to me."

"Rozier?" James glanced at Sirius, and then suddenly laughed, "That's great, you just tell her that we broke it."

Remus said helplessly, "James..."

"Let's do it like this, anyway, they never feel that they have caused too much trouble." Margaret glanced at James displeased, and pulled Hyacinth, "Let's go, we will be at the curfew soon It's time. By the way, I'm—"

"Margaret Watson." Hyacinth quickly added, "You and Narcissa are good friends."

"I thought she was famous because of her obsession with snotlings. Anyway, if I were you, I wouldn't bother with Snape's business anymore." Sirius played with his wand, "Why do you want to be so rude?" What about myself."

Hyacinth didn't understand why Sirius was speaking so meanly all of a sudden.Margaret's eyes flashed obvious sullenness: "He's not a snot-nosed man." She corrected calmly, "Let's go."
