Episode-01

1973

In theory, March has entered spring, but it is still cold enough to make your fingers stiff. Outside the red brick walls of Hogwarts is a gray-blue sky. If you listen carefully, you can hear the brooms of the first-year freshmen taking flying lessons rubbing against the air. rustling sound.It was almost predictable that the temperature tonight would only be lower than it is now, and the dormitory in the cellar must be even damper and colder to the bone. When returning to the dormitory, the fireplace must be lit first.

Alex rubbed his hands, secretly regretting not wearing an extra one when he left the dorm.Thin ponchos are airy, and shirts and ties are not exactly warm attire.

Professor McGonagall stood on the podium and talked about transformation and Animagus. The two Gryffindors in the front row listened carefully. Alex sat in the fourth row, poking herself with a quill restlessly. Transfiguration Notebook.

It was not a pleasant experience to see Professor McGonagall, although Alex was not an underachiever who needed the professor's special energy to take care of her, nor was she so naughty that she needed to be taught by others.

the reason is simple.Last weekend was the fourth time that Alex had forged his father's signature on the notice and was discovered by Professor McGonagall.

do not.A missed Hogsmeade.

Halfway through the new semester of the third year, Alex didn't go to Hogsmeade once, listening to the students around her talk about the new peach jelly in the Honeydukes Candy House and the butterbeer in the Three Broomsticks, Even if she usually regards herself as a person with low material desires, it is a lie to say that she is not envious at all.

Alex took a deep breath, leaned back on the table and listened to the professor explaining the properties of Animagus, and tried hard to get all the imaginations related to Hogsmeade out of her mind - since her father had to sign the notice Almost impossible.

During the holiday between the second grade and the third grade, Alex mentioned to her father more than once about going to Hogsmeade, as long as he signed the notice for her, there was no need for extra pocket money.

"I have other things to do." Alex's father always answered Alex.While talking, light a cigarette for yourself, or pour a full glass of wine, and write and draw on the parchment with a quill in your right hand.Usually, the paper will be torn off and crumpled into a ball before half of the writing is done, and it will land on the cheap carpet in the study that is riddled with cigarette butts and make a slight rubbing sound as it passes by other paper balls, and then wait quietly decay.

At the beginning of school, Alex returned to Hogwarts with a notice that had not been signed and was full of unwillingness. It was expected that the notice would be sent to his father with an owl.

"Evely."

Professor McGonagall's steady lecture like a roller came to an abrupt end.

I was caught off guard when I was on a short errand, and was interrupted by Alex, who was suddenly called by his last name. The quill in his hand rolled down on the table. .

Professor McGonagall's voice was as tight as a string. "Please tell me the essential difference between Animagus and Transfiguration."

Alex carefully avoided the slightly reproachful eyes of the other party. "Animagus retains the thinking ability and judgment of human beings, while transfiguration will completely transform people into another object."

The professor in the green plaid wizard robe nodded slightly, merely to indicate that the answer was correct rather than approvingly—since she must have noticed Alex's distraction.

In any case, the lecture continued, and the rollers began to move steadily forward again.This made Alex breathe a sigh of relief.

Desserts from class were rare for Alex.If necessary, she can swear by the end-of-semester grade of O in the previous school year. Most of the time, Alex is definitely a good student. The library prepares review notes.When most of the students in the same department spend a lot of time accumulating contacts and building relationships to pave the way for their future life, Slytherin's ambitions in Alex seem to be all about dominating studies.

Actually it is not.

Tickets are also required to accumulate contacts and establish relationships, blood and dignity cannot be combined.

Mixed blood is naturally a head shorter than others in the academy that is extremely particular about blood. Of course, there are always guys who are eager to prove their "ability" to offer courtship to a pure blood with high positions, but this is not true for Alex, who is not talented enough in social. It was too difficult for Kess.And she didn't deserve others to bother too much to socialize, so she was naturally excluded from the circle.

Besides, Alex had her own concerns.

When get out of class was over, Alex left with the textbook in her arms, and was stopped by Professor McGonagall as expected. "Evely, please stay for a while, I hope it won't disturb you and rush to the next class."

"My next class is next door, Charms, Professor McGonagall." Alex habitually replied with the humility that a good student should have.

The conversation was very brief.She obviously knew that Alex was worried about Hogsmeade's affairs. The teacher looked at the students as if they were looking in a mirror. It was not unusual for her to guess what the students were thinking.However, unraveling the knot was obviously beyond her ability. First, Professor McGonagall was not her guardian, and second, she couldn't force Alex's father to sign.

She lifted her thick eyelids and gave Alex a heavy look. "I don't question your concentration and judgment, Everly, I just want to remind you to use it at your own time."

"Sorry, I understand."

"Then go to class, Professor Flitwick doesn't want students to be late." She stopped talking and motioned Alex to leave.

That's when Alex noticed a Transfiguration textbook lying at her feet, which obviously wasn't hers.Alex hesitated for two seconds before picking it up.

On the first page is written the name of the owner of the textbook.

lily evans

Alex knew her.It would not be an exaggeration to say that Evans is a school star, although she is not popular in Slytherin for some "obvious reasons".

What's more, Gryffindor and Slytherin have always been on the tip of their noses, especially this year, when the house points were repeatedly tied, the students on the Quidditch team were so anxious that they even risked being suspended. Get some Felicity Elixir somewhere.If someone else picked up this textbook, its final burial place should be the sewer of Slytherin's dormitory.

Alex stepped on the bell to catch up with the Charms class. All the seats in the front row were full, so she had to stay in the last row.Severus Snape next to her smelled strangely, she moved aside without leaving a trace, and Evans' textbook fell out of Alex's pile.

He recognized it with just one glance, and asked urgently. "Why do you have Lily-Evans' textbook? You stole it?"

"Found it." Alex retorted curtly.

His black eyes were fixed on Alex like a lie detector turned on full blast.

It felt offensive to be questioned, so she sneered and ignored him, continuing to listen to Professor Flitwick's lecture.Professor Flitwick took a look at the Alexis and continued to demonstrate a new spell.

After a few minutes, he lowered his voice, and his tone was more blunt than before: "Evely, I think you will return to the original owner, will you?"

Of course Alex will return the book to Evans, not to say that her moral standard is higher than the average level of the department, but that she is not that interested in the school disputes, and even feels a little boring, and put Evans' textbook It's not doing Alex the slightest good to lose his bones.

But it's none of his business.She ignored him, and took the quill to write down the points of the spell one, two, three, and four in the parchment notebook.

Sitting next to Alex at the dinner table is Louise Goyle, who seems to have developed a good stomach, eating roast chicken legs and pumpkin cream pie while not forgetting to update Alex. gossip.

The relationship between Alex and her is more of a friendship than a pure exchange relationship.Alex gave her homework and essays in exchange for being a "Louise-Gower friend."Mixed blood is the first choice for being bullied in Slytherin, and Miss Gower is born in a pure blood family, and her physique is particularly strong among girls. There are not many people who can openly provoke her. Alex needs to pretend that she is her The friend came to make others fear three points, and saved Alex a lot of trouble.

"Did you know that James Potter is chasing Lily Evans! Merlin, he looks so anxious that even a blind person can see it." She said while chewing on the drumstick.

"Hmm..." Alex ate the kale on the plate, waiting for her thoughts and pretending to comment, "They're all Gryffindors."

"It's impossible for them both to be in the same college. It's a doomed love," Louise Gower said, as if talking about the doomed heroes and heroines of an eight o'clock soap opera. There's no reason a pureblood would want to marry a mudblood."

Alex gave her a nonchalant look.Miss Gower probably didn't know that Alex was of mixed race, and she wouldn't consider her feelings anyway.

"In my opinion," Louise Gower yelled with her greasy mouth open, "even if that Evans agreed to him, Potter would get rid of her very quickly. She is not a pure blood, and ...she's not that good-looking either."

The topic quickly ended when she and Suzanne Crabbe scrambled for the same piece of pumpkin pie, and Alex took two casual bites before leaving the dinner table and going to the cellar to pretend to do homework and listen to the chatter of classmates gossip.

There will be a lot of Gryffindor-related news in the Slytherin common room, which sounds contradictory and reasonable.Sirius Black's mother sent him a howling letter, which he turned into a taupe toad with a wave of his wand. During the summer vacation of his second year, he went to the Quidditch boutique in Diagon Alley to order a new toad. The broom, and gave James Potter a pair of the same style. There are rumors that he is dating Hufflepuff's courtesan Nina Raymond, and some people say that Miss Nina Raymond is madly pursuing He, Black himself, is not clear.

No one asked Alex's opinion, and Alex had no opinion.

Sirius Black belonged to Gryffindor, and he disliked Slytherin, just as he disliked the entire Black family.He is a gust of wind, unruly, free and easy, not staying for anyone.Although not now, but in the foreseeable future, he should date girls, frank and enthusiastic, but not for long, and pay attention to the beginning and the end.

These were all Alex's guesses, based on the bits and pieces of information about him in the common room.

The first time Alex met Sirius Black was on the Hogwarts special train in the first grade. The 12-year-old boy was already much taller than Alex. She carried the suitcase and struggled forward. At that time, he mentioned it and helped Alex stuff it into the luggage rack of an empty car.

"Ma'am, these heavy physical jobs should be reserved for those who are willing to work for you." He turned his head with a smirk, his thick eyelashes curved into a slightly ruffian arc.It's obviously a bit of a funny behavior, but he is pretending to be mature and cute.

Alex looked up, the boy's gray eyes were clean and bright, and he could see into people's hearts at a glance.

"...Thank you." Alex hesitated for a moment before recovering his voice.

The companion behind him laughed. "Forget it, handsome Sirius Black."

They walked to other cars in a row, leaving a refreshing air in the narrow aisle. Alex sat in the car as if his soul had come out of his body. When he came to his senses, the express train had already passed half of the night sky.

The story after that is much the same.Entrance ceremony.The sorting hat.The study and life are stagnant and chaotic.

--

The magic of the lion-snake grievance lies in creating an illusion.A lion does not lie to a snake, and a snake will retaliate to a lion.Both love and hate consume energy, and targeting is also an aspect of concentration.

Without arousing anyone's suspicion, Alex Everly could gather information on Sirius Black if she wanted to.Even if one day she let go of her thoughts about him, she can leave without leaving a trace.

Alex knew that day would come.

One day in the future, she would be indifferent to everything about Sirius Black, so this kind of liking was not worth mentioning.

--

There was an hour of free time between dinner and evening class, and it was less than half an hour when Alex came out of the common room. After asking about the portraits on the wall, Alex found that he had never set foot in it before. The Gryffindor common room, intending to give it to any Gryffindor who passed by, she guessed they would be willing to give the book to Evans.

Two boys approached, one with shaggy brown hair and the other taller with black hair and gray eyes.

Obviously.James Potter and... Sirius Black.

"Hey, who are you looking for?" Potter stepped forward and asked Alex.

"Trouble Evans, her book was dropped in the Transfiguration classroom." Alex quickly handed him the hot potato.

The Potter gave Alex a suspicious look.

These days, good people really can't do it.Alex snorted coldly. "Believe it or not is up to you."

Black seemed to have thought of something suddenly, patted him on the shoulder, and gave him an exaggerated wink, and Potter took the book directly and walked into the common room.Alex guessed he was going in to ask Evans for credit.

All of a sudden it was just him and Alex.

Sirius Black copied it in his pocket and looked down at Alex slightly. "Hi, I'm Sirius Black."

He looked unrestrained and unrestrained, his stretched body exuded casual strength, and Alex had to admit again that, from a young girl's point of view, liking him was not illegal.

"Nice to meet you." Alex nodded, trying to maintain the ratio of politeness and distance in her tone.

In fact, his self-introduction seems a bit redundant. Even if Alex didn't pay attention to him in the past two years, the entire Hogwarts students know Sirius Black, the rebellious eldest son of a pure-blood family, and most of the girls in the school A child's heart harvester, even the Slytherin students sneered at or joked about the "Bohemian Black" on the surface, and Alex bet his picture still appeared in the girls' diaries from time to time Benli or under the pillow.

He folded his hands behind his head. "Who are you?"

"Everly." Alex smiled politely, and after a second, the corners of his mouth flattened.Alex took a deep breath, trying to hide her racing heart.

Students wearing red and orange woolen scarves came and went in front of the common room door, casting Alex's gaze as if watching a magical animal, as if Alex could transform into a cat in a second. A giant snake with wings.Alex began to understand a little bit why some Slytherins claimed that the Gryffindors were too dense to "cause discomfort".The hostility may not be two-way at the beginning, but it must be two-way in the end, and no party will bear it unconditionally.

So she glanced at him restrainedly and hurried away.

There was nothing remarkable about the historic first meeting, Alex thought, acting cold, distant, and "Slytherin" enough, even if he really had the ability to go to heaven and earth in Sirius Black , and can't know what's in my mind.
