[HP Sirius] Sweet Potions

Saying goodbye to Snape, Ursa hurriedly left the classroom.When she had just walked around a corner, she suddenly heard a girl not far away from her saying: "...I really hate Miss Green."

She stopped subconsciously, but heard another voice say, "Why?"

She recognized the voice immediately—it was Kathy Baker, the girl who shared her compartment on the Hogwarts Express.

"Don't you all like her?" said the voice from before.

"I like her very much." Ursa recognized that it was Lisa, Kathy's twin sister, who was speaking this time.

"But she has a bad personality and is very cold to everyone. Besides, she always likes to express herself in front of boys-those stupid boys want to put their eyes on her chest."

Erza was stunned.She had no idea she would get such an evaluation.

"But I don't think she made those boys look at her on purpose," Casey said.

"The boys themselves are so stupid," Lisa added.

The previous voice mocked arrogantly: "I really don't understand why you like her so much! I think you are as stupid as those boys!"

"Maybe you can try not to speak ill of others behind their backs." At this time, another voice said coldly.

"Lily?! Why are you here?" Kathy said in a surprised voice, "Oh, sorry, we tried to stop her—"

"Don't talk about it, I'm starving to death." Lisa suddenly interrupted their conversation and said, "Let's go to dinner quickly."

Ursa heard their footsteps approaching gradually.

She was startled, and her first reaction was to find a place to hide first.

Uh... that's not quite wrong.Why is she hiding?she thought, a little confused.

Just as she hesitated for a moment, four girls walked around the corner and appeared in front of her.

"Miss Green!" Kathy and Lisa exclaimed almost simultaneously in surprise.

A girl with blond hair standing next to her looked very embarrassed; behind her, Lily Evans looked calm.

Ursa looked at the blond girl calmly.

The girl's cheeks were flushed, and she looked like she wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in.

But she didn't know that Ursa was in the same mood as hers.

——This is the first time Ersha has overheard someone talking about herself, and she still used that disgusting tone, which made her feel a little overwhelmed.

"Are you going to deduct points for me? Or put me in confinement?" The blond girl said through gritted teeth on purpose.

"Uh, what? I haven't figured it out yet." Ursa replied coldly, frowning.She looked like she was really thinking hard about how to punish the girl.

"You're just a substitute teacher!" The blond girl suddenly raised her voice, "My uncle is on the school board, he can replace you at any time—"

But Ursa just said a calm "oh".

The girl suddenly became angry, as if dissatisfied with Ursa's unresponsive attitude.

"That's enough." Lily said suddenly, and reached out to grab the girl's shoulder.

"Didn't your uncle be detained by the Ministry of Magic a few days ago for hiding dark magic items?" Lisa said suddenly.

The girl was stunned, this sentence obviously hit her sore spot.

"That's really a pity." Ersha said from the bottom of her heart.

"He was wronged!" the girl said through gritted teeth, then turned around and ran away quickly.

After the girl ran away, the remaining four people looked at each other for a few seconds.

"Uh... she's your friend?" Ursa asked.

"Absolutely not." Lisa said firmly.

"She had a little friendship with our parents," Kathy said with a wry smile.

Lily looked at them and suddenly said, "Shall we go have dinner together?"

"Okay." Sister Baker said with a smile.

"So, Miss Green—can you tell us about the next exam questions?" On the way to the hall, Lisa said suddenly, while looking at Erza expectantly, "Just a little bit!"

"Absolutely not." It was Lily who answered.

Ursa suddenly laughed, and the other three girls looked at her in surprise.

"You should smile more, Miss Green," said Lily. "You look much better when you smile than when you look so hard."

Ersha's hair roots were slightly reddened, "Well, thank you."

Four young girls of about the same age looked at each other and laughed.At this time, they didn't realize that a wonderful feeling called friendship gradually sprouted in their hearts.

In the evening, as soon as Ursa returned to the vicinity of the office, Sirius Black was standing at the door of her office in the distance.

He was leaning against the wall with his head slightly bowed, with one hand in the pocket of his robe coat, and the other skillfully making patterns with his wand.

The moment he saw Ersa, he immediately put away his wand and smiled at her, "Good night, Miss Green."

Erza stared at him with undisguised suspicion, "What are you doing here, Mr. Black?"

"Continue my detention," Sirius said. "I told you last night."

Erza froze.She took half a second to recall what happened last night.

Although her face was still expressionless, the roots of her hair were slightly flushed - she couldn't remember when Sirius mentioned continuing to be confined.

She actually wanted Sirius to go back right now, but she didn't know how to behave naturally to drive him away; she decided to pretend to forget the accident that happened last night, as if nothing had happened.

So she hesitated before saying, "Come in, Mr. Black."

"So what am I going to do tonight?" Sirius asked, standing next to her desk.This time he didn't sit down on her sofa without authorization.

Ursa thought for a second, then took out a large stack of papers from the cabinet, and placed them heavily in front of Sirius.

"Help me sort these papers alphabetically by student's last name," she said.

"Hmm...well." Sirius replied after hesitating for a moment.

Afterwards, Ursa began grading the papers, while Sirius sat across from her and sorted the papers.

He decided to arrange the papers according to different alphabetical categories first.

Soon, the messy papers almost occupied the entire writing desk, and some papers had to lie on the ground temporarily.

Is there any point in this kind of work?Sirius couldn't help thinking to himself.

He suddenly felt that Ursa had just randomly found him an unimportant job to pass the time.

Time suddenly became longer.

The room fell into silence, except for the "click, click" of the grandfather clock in the corner and the sound of the parchment being turned.

Sirius yawned, suddenly bored with what he was doing.He raised his head and stared blankly at Ersha opposite him.

Ursa was staring down at the paper intently with her head down.She didn't know when she started wearing a pair of wide red-rimmed glasses.Judging from the thickness of the lens, her degree of myopia is not high.

Sirius suddenly felt that the cold gray eyes hidden behind the lenses looked much softer now.This is probably because of the light from the kerosene lamp.

Instead of using a quill, she scribbled comments on the paper with Muggle's favorite ballpoint pen, leaving a line of neat and neat handwriting.Sometimes, she would put down her ballpoint pen and stare at the paper muttering, her eyebrows furrowed; and a few seconds later, she would relax her eyebrows and resume writing on the parchment.

Sirius didn't realize what he was doing.He stared intently at the substitute teacher opposite, his mind was almost blank.He simply found it more interesting to look at the person across the way than to look at a pile of papers.

Ursa quickly finished grading the poorly written paper at hand.She supported the large mirror frame, took a deep breath, and planned to rest for 2 minutes before continuing.

She raised her head, only to find that the boy opposite was staring at her intently.

He was leaning back in the chair, resting one hand on his chin, and tilting the arm of the chair with the other erratically; his deep gray eyes watched Ursa silently, his face On the other hand, he showed a thoughtful expression.

"Is something wrong?" she asked, frowning.

The boy immediately put down his hand and looked at her in confusion, "What?"

"You're staring at me," she said.

"... Oh." Sirius blinked his eyes, his face showed a trace of confusion, as if he couldn't figure out why he did that just now.

Ersha cast her eyes on the papers scattered everywhere, and sighed slightly, "Have you finished categorizing the papers?"

"Sorry, not yet." Sirius replied with a shrug.

"...If you don't want to continue, you can leave now." Ursa said calmly.

"I'll go ahead," Sirius said, "but sorry—I have to say, what's the point of doing it?"

Ursa stared at him flatly over the glasses.

Sirius suddenly felt a little guilty for no reason.

"This way I can find their names in my notebook faster and write down their paper grades," she said, then patted a notebook open in front of her. "I used to do this of."

Sirius looked at the notebook.

It is neatly written with the names of the students, as well as all their paper grades since the beginning of the semester, and even marked with different colored pens.He inadvertently noticed a red triangle symbol behind his name.

"—what does the red triangle mean?" He asked subconsciously.

Only then did Ursa notice that Sirius' name was also on this page.She couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, so she quickly closed the book.

A red triangle indicates that the student lacks a certain level of effort, but she doesn't want that evaluation to be seen by the student herself.

"Cough." She cleared her throat, "It means your grades are not bad."

Sirius looked at her silently, which made her feel somewhat guilty.

She could feel her damn hair slowly changing color, trying to give away her emotions once again.So she focused and forced it to stop.

But at this moment, Sirius suddenly smiled, and the corners of his mouth curved into a beautiful arc.

"So, besides these, do I have any other papers I need to sort out?" he said.

Ersha's eyes rested on the corners of his slightly upturned mouth, and suddenly an inappropriate scene popped up in her mind.

——Damn it, why did you think of what happened last night at this moment?

"What?" She blinked the scene out of her mind. "Oh—no more. That's all."

Sirius rolled up his sleeves and looked eager to try, "Okay, then I'll continue with my work."

Sirius finished his work quickly.He stood up to say goodbye to Ersha, but Ersha stopped him.

"Wait," Erza said.

Sirius turned to look at her suspiciously.

Erza opened her mouth.She had wanted to ask him if he would try to date Lisa Baker, but she couldn't—she subconsciously thought it would be rude to ask him.

"...Be careful on the road." She moved her lips and said.

"Thank you." Sirius showed a bright smile, "Good night, Miss Green. I wish you a sweet dream."
