[HP Sirius] Sweet Potions

Ursa closed the door behind her, and she saw Sirius standing in the living room.He was picking up a broken photo frame on the ground, looking at the burnt photo on it.

But everything else in the living room was gone, except for an old sofa and an armchair that had been brought from nowhere.The walls of the room have been repainted and appear to be well rebuilt.

Ursa looked at Sirius, wondering if she should just walk over and talk to him.

She remembered that they had just had a quarrel, so she decided to stand still and see the situation first.

"I see they're selling the house," Sirius said suddenly.

"Oh?" Ursa blinked, "Yes."

Sirius put down the photo, "Do you think [-] Galleons can buy it?"

Erza stared at him in surprise.

"What did you say?"

"I said, I want to buy it." Sirius replied.He spoke as calmly as if he were talking about buying a dozen parchments.

She didn't know which thing shocked her more, Sirius had [-] Galleons, or he wanted to buy the house?

Ersha thought for a while, "If the current exchange rate between galleons and British pounds is used, I think twenty thousand galleons is more than enough. But...why?"

"I like it here." Sirius replied lightly, "I liked this house a lot when I first came here. It makes me feel very at home."

At this moment, he bent down, drew his wand and lit the fireplace.

"Using magic outside of school? I didn't even know you were over 17 years old." Ursa couldn't help but said.

Sirius glanced at her, and suddenly smiled, "You don't know that I have a lot to do." He sat on the sofa next to the fireplace, fiddled with the raging fire, and made it even hotter.

He turned his head and stretched out his hand to Ersha, and said to her, "Come here."

Ursa didn't go there right away.

"I thought you were still mad at me," she muttered.

Sirius raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "Come here, I'm not angry."

Ursa moved her feet and walked over.She had planned to sit in the armchair opposite Sirius.

He patted the place beside him, "Sit next to me, and I won't eat you again."

Ursa sat down and watched his expression carefully.

"So you're not angry?" she said.

"Silly girl, I won't be angry because of your words." Sirius said with a smile, his eyes were calm and soft, and there was no sign of anger, "That's why I said you don't understand me at all."

"I shouldn't have said that about you," Erza blurted out suddenly.

"Which one?" Sirius asked knowingly.

"That's your childish sentence." Ursa replied frankly.

In fact, he is much more mature than many of his peers, and Ersha already knew this.

Sirius sighed, "Well, that sentence is actually quite right. I admit that I am a little childish sometimes."

A little smile finally appeared on the corner of Ersha's mouth, "Yeah, a little bit."

Sirius turned to look at her and fell silent for a moment.

"Want to hear the truth?" he said suddenly.

Ersha blinked her eyes in surprise, "Go ahead."

"But you have to make sure you don't laugh at me after you hear it." He grinned and said with a stiff smile.

"Joke you? I promise not." Ersha said softly.

"I've always been a little uneasy." He frowned in distress.

"why?"

"Because..." He paused, "Because I feel like I'm not good enough for you."

"What?" Ursa stared at him blankly, as if she had heard a very unbelievable sentence, "Why do you think so?"

"Because you are young but very learned," he said quietly, "and very simple and kind—"

Ursa was a little embarrassed by his praise.She quickly clarified: "I'm just a bit of a stupid bookworm."

"And you're very attractive," he continued.

"Well, that didn't occur to me," she muttered.

"All the boys are talking about you behind your back, and they're all fantasizing about what could happen to you."

"Uh... what?" Ursa's cheeks flushed suddenly, "That's not me—I didn't want that..."

"Yes, I know you don't." Sirius said, his gaze on Ersa became more and more intense, "That's why I'm more infatuated with you."

"You... obsessed with me?" Ursa opened her eyes wide, this was the first time she heard Sirius use the word "obsessed" to describe his feelings.

"Yeah, don't you know?" Sirius said with a smile.

Erza felt her hair turning red.She always felt that she should say something in response to Sirius' confession just now.

"Me too," she said softly, looking into those dark gray eyes, "I like you very much, Sirius...you know that."

"Of course I know." Sirius put his arms around her tightly.

Ursa felt her heart swell.

She always felt that she could touch true happiness by reaching out.

She turned around and put her arms around Sirius' neck, burying her in the crescent of his neck.

"Are you really going to buy the house here?" she said.

"Do you like it here?" Sirius asked back.

"Of course I like it." Ursa said, "I lived here for a while, and I was very reluctant to leave." Her eyes looked out the window, "... Mrs. Robert is a good person."

"I believe she is," Sirius said. "I saw her picture on the fireplace. She must love her sons."

"Yes." Thinking of Mrs. Robert's deserted funeral, Ursa suddenly felt a little sad, "She's just not very expressive."

They leaned together quietly, and neither of them spoke for a while.

Ursa was savoring the moment to her heart's content, knowing she would never have another chance like this once back at Hogwarts.Now they don't have to worry about anyone's eyes, they just need to feel each other's existence quietly.

Suddenly she thought of Mrs. Robert again.

Mrs. Robert would be knitting in her rocking chair at this time of day, always with a cup of hot tea nearby.But Ursa never had the chance to see her again.

"...I really hate Death Eaters," she murmured. "God knows how many families they've brought tragedy to."

"Of course, they're a bunch of villains," Sirius said. "They're doing a lot of dirty work that you can't even imagine."

"They still want my father to join them."

"I heard that they are recruiting members everywhere. Some people say that the Ministry of Magic has fallen, and there have been Death Eaters among them." Sirius said softly, he let go of Ursa's arm, and leaned over He fiddled with the firewood in the fireplace.The light of the flames jumping reflected on his young face.

Ursa looked at his profile, waiting for him to continue.

"So I don't want to be an Auror that much anymore," he said. "Aurors are not as good as they used to be. It's been a long time since I caught a Death Eater."

Ursa believed he wasn't just jealous of Johnny when he said this.Because Sirius' expression was extremely serious at this moment.Those who knew him knew that he rarely had such expressions.

"I plan to join the Order of the Phoenix." He turned his head to look at Ersa, "Have you heard of the Order of the Phoenix?"

Erza shook her head.

"I don't think you have either." Sirius smiled, "Because it was a secret organization founded by Professor Dumbledore."

"The Order of the Phoenix." Ursa silently said this unfamiliar word, "Are they dealing exclusively with dark wizards, or only against Voldemort?"

"You don't seem to be afraid of Voldemort's name," Sirius said with a wink.

"It's just a name," said Ursa, frowning.

Sirius' eyes seemed to light up a bit, and he smiled and said, "Yeah, you're right, it's just a name." Sirius turned his head and stared at her, and the angle made him look even more handsome.

Ursa felt a little heat on her cheeks.It was definitely not because she was too close to the fireplace.

Sirius continued: "Many people are afraid to say that name, or even hear it, as if hearing that word will make them fall to the ground and die immediately." He snorted contemptuously at this point.

"Really? That's too bad." Erza frowned a little confused, but she didn't comment.She didn't know much about Voldemort, so she couldn't comment on the reactions of the others.

Sirius put the poker aside, looking a little more excited than before.

"Actually, I plan to leave Hogwarts next year." He said with bright eyes.
