[HP] Raven

Episode 33

The cloudy sky has been going on for quite a while, and Alex and Regulus have started a cold war. Alex hates her Dark Mark very much, but she can't do anything about it.After brewing the potion for a while, she finally got her own wand, from Bellatrix.The crazy woman smiled at her maliciously and led her to a clearing.Alex took a few more glances at the street scene before realizing that this was Hogsmeade. In the days after she was imprisoned in the Malfoy Manor, almost all stores in Hogsmeade were closed, quietly, There was a thick layer of wet mist floating in the air, and there was a trace of bloody smell when you smelled it carefully.

Alex saw a huge dirt pit in front of her. There was a man standing in the pit with his hands tied behind his back and his mouth gagged. It was a fat old man who always wore a bow tie and wore brown clothes. The shirt and overalls look a bit like an overaged doll.She felt that this person looked familiar, and after careful identification, she realized that it was the professor of Muggle Studies at Hogwarts. She had never attended his class, but she had met him several times in school. Lily told her that she I like his class very much.

Bellatrix pressed her wand against her back. "Kill him. Now."

"I can't do it." Alex stood still.

Bellatrix smacked her wand hard. "I thought the spell wasn't difficult. Point your wand at him, come on, don't dawdle."

Alex still didn't raise her wand. "why me?"

"Show your contribution, Everly. Otherwise everyone would know you wouldn't be one of us." Bellatrix snorted.

"I haven't killed a single sparrow, Lestrange . . . I can't."

Bellatrix urged impatiently. "Then this is your first time now, Everly, be quick and don't force me to kill you."

Her gaze was on Alex like a heavy shackle.Alex cast her eyes on the professor of Muggle Studies standing in the pit, he was actually very relieved, without the slightest panic, as if he had already foreseen his end.He frowned at Bellatrix, then turned to Alex with a pitiful, mournful smile.

sorry.Alex thought.sorry.

Then she raised her wand tremblingly at him.

"Avada Kedavra."

A green light flew out from the tip of the wand, and quickly landed on the Muggle Studies professor. He closed his eyes calmly, fell backwards, and made a heavy muffled sound.

Bellatrix left laughing, repeating it over and over again. "Alex Everly killed! Everly killed!"

Alex looked at the Muggle Studies professor who had stopped breathing in the pit, and apologized over and over again from the bottom of her heart.But what good is an apology?She is already an executioner.

That's when she saw Peter Pedillo.He huddled in a corner, and even grinned at her, showing his jagged yellow teeth.

Alex looked at him blankly.

Peter Pedillo leaned closer, with an unnatural smirk on his lips. "Evely, I have said a lot of good things for you in front of the master."

she responded indifferently. "Oh yes? Thank you."

Seeing that Alex responded to his words, Peter Pediru rubbed his hands excitedly and said. "They all say you're with Regulus Black. I'm here to wish you well."

Alex frowned. "'them'?"

Peter Pedillo didn't notice her displeasure at all, and added directly: "Other Death Eaters, they all guessed that way. Congratulations, Everly, you are going to prosper."

In fact, what Peter said was not groundless.Many of the Death Eaters were classmates of her and Regulus at the time.Since the fourth and fifth grades, there have been rumors of the two of them on and off in Slytherin.It is well known that Regulus and Alex went to Hogsmeade together (although it was only once, and it was not a very pleasant experience), they often studied together, and they were both old members of the Slug Club.On the one hand, it’s because the facts are undeniable, not made up by everyone, they just stay together often, and according to the logic of the campus love story, they are a good match—one is the dean’s beloved student, and the other is the most important member of the Quidditch team. Seeker.On the other hand, the conflict between them is too attractive, a mixed blood and "forever pure" Black, and soon Alex and Sirius are together, the Black brothers have been feuding for many years, which undoubtedly gives them The gossip adds even more excitement.

In the days before Alex joined the Death Eaters, her name and deeds had been known among the Death Eaters for a long time.What happened later only further verified their gossip rumors - Regulus quarreled with his fiercest cousin because of her, and then he really took her to No. 12 Grimmauld Place.

Alex was silent for a while. "What else did they say?"

"Of course it means that you are so smart, you will definitely be reused." Peter grinned timidly, showing his sallow teeth, "Avery, I praised you in front of the Dark Lord, and now If you get his appreciation, you should talk more about me in front of him—"

"You're the perfect traitor who betrayed James and Lily?" Alex pointed at him with her wand.

"Oh my God! Everly, don't scare me! Please!" Peter Pedillo was taken aback, "But I was forced, Everly, the Dark Lord is too powerful, I just It's just to survive. I didn't betray them on purpose. James will definitely say good things for me, he is so powerful and kind, he will forgive me, Lily will too, oh, and Sirius..."

Alex said indifferently. "Let me remind you, I'm not kind at all."

She swung an "Avada Kedavra" without hesitation, but Peter rolled into a ball and dodged it.

Peter was so frightened that his face turned bloodless, and he hugged into a ball and trembled. "Are you really trying to kill me? Everly, have you forgotten that you're already a Death Eater! Is there any good in you killing me?"

Alex sneered. "Anyway, I've already killed someone just now, why don't I review it with you now?"

Peter screamed in terror. "Come on, please! Everly! I thought we were colleagues!"

"Shut up! I don't have such a disgusting colleague as you." She backhanded another Avada Kedavra, but Peter tilted his body and missed again.

Alex snorted, she didn't expect Peter to be so good at escaping.After thinking about it, she cast a series of spells that Peter had never heard of, and a black lightning bolt flew out and struck Peter directly.

Peter was beaten to pieces, hugged his black arm and yelled. "Evely, please spare me! I don't know anything, so what if you kill me?"

"What can I do? I'll probably be happy for a while," she pointed at him with her wand, "Crucio."

Peter slid to the ground in pain, howled and rolled, and it took him a while to recover, begging for mercy over and over again.

She used another Avada Kedavra to slash at Peter who was lying on the ground immobile, but the green light was deflected by another spell, burning a pit on the ground beside Peter.

Alex frowned, looked in that direction, and was stunned.

Her former lover stood not far from them against the light, looking at her in surprise.

As soon as Peter saw him, he cried out in a tearful voice, and he scrambled and hid behind him. "Sirius! Help me! Everly is going to kill me!"

Alex stopped with a pale face, and stood there and explained to him in vain. "Peter is a traitor, he betrayed the Order of the Phoenix."

Sirius was unmoved, he cleared his throat and glanced suspiciously back and forth across her face. "Shut up, Everly. I don't know why you're not even letting poor Wormtail go."

It was him, the jealous Sirius.Alex only felt tired, and his eyes weighed her down like a mountain.

Peter interjected appropriately, pointing to the professor who had lost his life in the pit. "She also killed our Muggle Studies professor! Sirius, look!"

Sirius glanced in that direction, then turned to Alex. "Did you kill it?"

"I was forced," Alex looked up feebly. "You won't believe anything I say now anyway, will you?"

"Evely has been using the Unforgivable Curse on me, she is a Death Eater, Sirius, I can swear, I saw the Dark Mark on her arm." Peter's voice did not know when it came again come out.

Alex looked at his left arm, the Dark Mark was on it, bright black.Despair gradually submerged his head like sea water.She gave Peter a cold look, and Peter was terrified, and hid behind Sirius again.

"Sirius, you must save me! Please, Sirius! Everly is too strong, I can't beat it!" Peter cried, the sharp voice almost piercing Alex's eardrums. Torn.

"What else do you want to say, Everly? Black magic will eventually make you...crazy." Sirius looked at him calmly, his tone had become unfamiliar.

"So are you going to take me to the Wizengamot or Azkaban? If you don't even believe me, will the people there believe everything I say?" After being forced to join the Death Eaters , Alex has never felt that her situation is so pathetic, and the extreme anger and anxiety made her unable to speak out, "The bright Sirius Black, the core member of the Order of the Phoenix, the embodiment of justice, the rebel of the corrupt system, Has a saintly heart of compassion for the weak. I'm sorry I just didn't turn out to be what you'd accept—"

She finally uttered all the true thoughts in her heart. When she blurted out, she trembled all over, like panic, but also like a kind of excitement of finally being relieved.Finally, even the last trace of past friendship between them disappeared, and it was destroyed by her own hands.Sirius was the first person she fell in love with, but now he would rather believe Peter, who is a good-for-nothing liar, than believe her again.

What a ridiculous story.She closed her eyes, as if facing an abyss.In the powerlessness and despair, she suddenly thumped and laughed out loud.

When Peter saw Alex, who seemed to be out of order, he started to tremble again in fright, and pulled Sirius' sleeve to leave with him quickly.

Alex raised her eyes and suddenly raised her wand to Peter. "Avada Kedavra!"

Sirius swung her spell away with a flick of his wand. "Peter can't do anything, why don't you let him go?"

The rage of disbelief sucked Alex into the abyss like a whirlpool, and a black lightning bolt from her was thrown directly at Sirius.His wand gleamed like a sword and sparkled.Alex swung his wand, streaks of black magic flew out and collided with his spells, burning the ground into pits of various sizes, and the air was filled with a stale and bitter smell.

They dueled as if they were real enemies, spells crackling and crackling through the air, burning the bushes around them.In the melee, Wormtail didn't dodge in time and got burned off one of his fingers, tearing from the pain.

A gust of wind flew by, and Alex only felt a burning pain in his shoulder.Warm blood slowly flowed down, soaking the plain black robe, and the pain began to spread from the shoulder to every corner of the body like a raging fire.

Sirius stopped suddenly and stared at Alex in a daze, a little flustered.She looked over her shoulder and realized she had been hit.

"Alex, I—"

Although I knew that this moment would always come, a certain secret place in my heart still hurt as if it was being torn apart, and the last string broke completely with a "snap".She struck the ground directly in front of Sirius with a death curse, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a black hurricane and quickly disappeared from his eyes.

--

The first relationship of a person is always particularly unforgettable. Because of ignorance and inexperience, it is heartbreaking, so I question whether this relationship should really start.And should it really end at this time.She had been avoiding thinking about these questions before, they made her so painful that it took all her energy to deal with her emotions, so that she had no way to face all the doubts this relationship brought her.

But now, holding her bleeding shoulder, she huddled in a corner where no one could find her, silently throwing these questions out of her mind one by one.Should she and Sirius really start.What the hell went wrong between them.Should it be completely over in the student days?Why did they fall into the situation where they are facing each other now.

In her mind, she tried to match everything in the past with these questions one by one.Some have become answers, and some have become paradoxes.But the conclusion was surprisingly similar.

They will still love each other, but they will also be separated.Sirius is destined to join the Order of the Phoenix, and she may or may not become a Death Eater.But they were doomed not to understand, nor could they be a couple, no matter how much she loved him, it was futile.Everything is a domino of fate, one link after another, each link is inevitable, and so is the ending.At the age of 11, she couldn't resist the handsome Sirius who came and went freely, she couldn't help falling in love with him, she couldn't not find ways to get close to him and chase him, but she couldn't help being interested in black magic, and she couldn't join Phoenix when he was [-] years old. She left everything behind to follow in his footsteps.After all, they will disappear from each other's life in various forms.

Love can be the beginning of everything, or the end of everything, but it is not a tenable answer.Love is indeed the most beautiful and uncontrollable variable in life. For some people, it is even the splendor of life, but for them now, love is also the most insignificant thing.If Sirius no longer loved her, he would ruthlessly prevent her from doing anything to Peter.If his love for her hadn't faded, he would have found the Dark Mark on her hand, and would have done the same.Love cannot sway his choice, nor her situation.She can continue to love him, but she can also stop loving him, and the Dark Mark on her hand will not disappear.The love for him, from the beginning to the end, can't make her truly redeemed, it just tortures her twice.

She closed her eyes, feeling the tears, which were easily wiped away with the back of her hand.

Someday, someday, Alex Everley will be indifferent to everything about Sirius Black.This topic circled around a lot, and once again popped up in her mind, she realized that her clumsy and naive conclusion back then was correct, and everything had its own destiny in the dark.

The author has something to say: Don't hate Sirius, he really has no reason to trust her anymore...Hate Wormtail, he is the one who provoked.Gouzi believed in Wormtail, and Alex believed in Professor Slughorn before, everyone made a mistake once, even (bushi

It was Alex who made the move first, Sirius was at best... over-defensive x
