[HP Sirius] Sweet Potions

At this time, Sirius suddenly slumped and slid down against the wall, and finally sat on the stone brick floor covered with moss.

"I'm a little dizzy." He held his forehead and said in a low voice, "...Let me take a rest first."

Ursa lowered her head and saw the black-haired boy looking up at her, but the focus of his eyes was not on her face.

Erza suddenly realized that he was actually looking over her shoulder at the narrow sky between the alleys.

At this time, a gust of cold wind poured into the alley.Ursa shivered immediately.

"So you plan to expose me, Miss Green?" Sirius suddenly asked hoarsely.He looked much more awake than before.

"I haven't figured it out yet," Ursa replied in a low voice. "Maybe not. As long as you don't make the same mistake in the future."

The black-haired boy suddenly laughed softly.But this time was different from just now, Ersha vaguely felt that he was not really happy.

"I only had a glass of brandy," he said suddenly. "A wizard at the Hog's Head pub bought it to me... you know there are always such weirdos there."

The focus of his eyes gradually fell on Ersha's face, and the corner of his mouth suddenly raised to reveal a rather helpless smile.

"This kind of thing will never happen again, I promise."

Ursa wasn't sure if he was talking about the drink or what had just happened - or both?

At this moment, James arrived in a hurry.He looked at them suspiciously, "What happened?"

But Sirius and Ursa remained silent in a tacit understanding at the same time.

Soon, they said goodbye to each other.

Ursa watched Sirius and James go away.At this time, another gust of cold wind hit, she shrank her neck and decided to return to the warm bar to have a round with the three girls.

After that incident, Ursa thought for a long time and finally decided to write a letter to Sirius' parents.

She didn't mention Sirius drinking a glass of brandy in the letter, but expressed her greetings in the letter, and praised Sirius' performance in class, saying that he was a responsive and very bright student.At the end, she also hinted a little bit that if he worked harder, his grades would be better than now.

This was the first time she wrote a letter to the parents of a student, so she checked it several times to make sure there was nothing impolite before sending the letter.

But it was a whole week before she received a reply.

The reply was only a few lines, and it read: "Thank you for your letter, Miss Green. But you are mistaken, Sirius Black is not our son. Yours sincerely, Walburga Black."

Ersha stared at the letter with wide eyes, and read it a dozen times before she was sure that what she said was indeed what she had read.

"Isn't Sirius Black their son?" she thought bewilderedly, and turned to the other side of the envelope.

The address of the sender is exactly No. 12, Grimmauld Place, Blake's house.

Is there a second Black family in the British wizarding world?

No, not right.She was sure she hadn't made a mistake because she had found the address from her student profile.

Her hand holding the letter trembled slightly, and her mind was filled with confusion and anger.

——What kind of family would refuse to recognize their own son?

She suddenly remembered Sirius' reaction when he heard about his parents last night.

Perhaps it was because her memories were mixed with personal emotions at this time, she always felt that there was sadness and helplessness in Sirius' smile that night.She suddenly felt that her chest was stuffy and panicked as if it was blocked by something.

Her gaze turned to the pen holder on the table.The mother-of-pearl pink vial sat securely in the pen holder, a constant reminder of the fact that she couldn't throw it away.

She could barely restrain herself from pulling a quill from the pen holder, dipping the ink, and writing quickly on the blank parchment: "I don't know why you say that. He may not be ideal." Son, but he's still your blood and blood. You watched him grow up and took care of him from the time he was a baby, and I'm sure you loved him so much. When you remember him babbling, The scene when I called you with a childish voice, would you still make up your mind to say that and abandon him forever?"

Because of her excitement, the tip of her pen almost punctured the parchment.

After finishing writing, she let out a long sigh of relief, feeling that the dullness in her chest had disappeared a lot.

She looked at the letter hesitantly, wondering if it would be appropriate to post it.But she was secretly eager to tell Sirius' parents what she had said.

After some struggles, she finally couldn't resist the temptation and sent the barn owl of the credit school.

The next day she got a reply from Mrs. Black.

She had been expecting a Howler letter, but instead she got a very plain looking white envelope.

She took a deep breath and quickly opened the letter.

"Thank you for your letter again." Mrs. Black wrote, "I think these are my family affairs, and you have no right to comment on it. What's more, you know nothing about the Black family, or even the entire British wizarding world, isn't it?

I've heard about you, excuse my bluntness, I've heard that you've been traveling with your father and never had a decent education.To be honest, I've been skeptical that you are qualified for the position of Potions teacher.

My husband and I are planning to challenge your position to the relevant Ministry of Magic.I just want my son Regulus to have the best education possible, not against you.If you have lost your job as a result, please also accept my sincerest apologies. "

The letter looked grand on the surface, but Ersha deeply felt the malice inside.

She stared at the letter, and couldn't believe that there were such hypocritical and cold-blooded guys in the world.

But she also had to admit that some of the words in it made sense.She really didn't know much about the British wizarding world, and she couldn't refute Mrs. Black's words on this point.She began to regret why she hadn't subscribed to the Daily Prophet in the first place.

She didn't mind the risk of losing her job.She believed that a parent's complaints alone would not drive her out of Hogwarts.

From there, Ursa began to pay attention to Regulus Black subconsciously.

She soon discovers that Regulus is not as gloomy as other withdrawn boys (Severus Snape being a good example).He would always answer questions in class with a bored mood that made him look a bit like his older brother.

And when he was talking to other students, Regulus would always raise his chin slightly, and look at each other coldly with those dark gray eyes that were exactly the same as Sirius.At this time, Ersha would always vaguely feel a faint aloofness around him, which made her feel very familiar.

She suddenly felt that maybe Regulus was more like his brother than she imagined.

Soon, she discovered that the relationship between Regulus and Sirius was very bad, to the point where they regarded each other as air.

When they meet in a restaurant or in a hallway, they don't even look at each other, let alone say "good morning" to each other.

"You mean Sirius?" Regulus frowned and said to Ursa after class once, "If you're interested in him, why don't you just go to him?"

After Regulus finished speaking, he turned and left without even saying goodbye.

It was obvious that he hated the subject so much that he didn't want to talk about his brother at all.

Ursa, on the other hand, held her chin behind him, seriously thinking about the question Regulus just raised.

She was indeed interested in Sirius.She wished to know more about him—like what had happened between him and his family.

But she didn't quite understand why she was so interested.Maybe it was because she had a similar experience with Sirius, she guessed.
