—a weak breath on Ersa's cheek.

He is still alive!

Ursa could hardly contain the ecstasy that was about to burst through her chest.

Suddenly, a man's voice caught her attention.

"what happened?"

Ursa looked up and saw a few people hurrying over—the Aurors.It seems that they found the entrance to the secret passage marked by Ersha.

"I need help!" Erza called to them.

With the help of one of the female Aurors, Ursa took Sirius to the school hospital.

At the moment the school hospital is overcrowded.About seven or eight students were hurt to varying degrees.

"Oh, God, what's going on?" Madam Pomfrey rushed towards them with a worried expression on her face.

"I don't know what spell he's under—he's unconscious and has a high fever," said Ursa, somewhat incoherently.

"Put him here," Madam Pomfrey said, lifting the curtain of an empty bed.

She carefully observed Sirius' situation with a solemn expression, then raised his head, and poured him half a bottle of potion that emitted light green smoke little by little.

"How is he?" the female Auror asked, frowning.

"He was attacked by black magic," Madam Pomfrey said. "His internal organs were corrupted by black magic, but fortunately he was brought in just in time."

"But he'll be all right, won't he?" Erza asked softly, her voice frighteningly thin.

"Yes, his life is not in danger now." Madam Pomfrey said, "But just to be on the safe side, we still need to send him to St. Mungo's Hospital."

Ursa looked at the pale Sirius on the hospital bed, feeling her heart clenched in pain.

"These bloody Death Eaters!" Madam Pomfrey swore, turning to the Auror coldly. "For God's sake, tell me you've got them."

The Auror smiled reluctantly.

"We've caught three and one is dead," she said. "Our men are searching every corner of Hogwarts to make sure nothing slips through."

In fact, two of those three are credited to Sirius, while Bellatrix was killed by Ursa.The Aurors were of little help.

Then, with the help of the Auror, they sent the unconscious Sirius to the hospital.

Ursa stayed by Sirius' side all the time.She stood by the bed, watching the therapists examine him.

"You seem to care about him. Is he your friend?" said the Auror, whose name Ursa had only just learned was Trish Brightman.

"Yes." Erza murmured.

After comforting Ersha a few words, Breitman left.

Ursa sat on the edge of Sirius' bed and stared at him.She suddenly realized that this was the second time this year—she was once again sitting in the hospital filled with the smell of medicine, quietly waiting for the unconscious person to open his eyes again.

She had never hated anyone so much.But she hated those Death Eaters now.

Although she had just killed a living person not long ago, she felt no fear at all now.In fact, that incident made her feel nothing.She was even a little afraid of herself like this.

But she would never regret it, because if she didn't do that, it would be her and Sirius who were killed.

Ursa spent the whole night in the hospital.

During this time she dozed off for a while, but soon woke up with a start.Every time she woke up, she would see Sirius frowning slightly, fine sweat dripping from his forehead.

The therapists hadn't told her the truth, but Ursa knew that now Sirius was suffering in his sleep.

The tranquilizing potions and painkillers relieved a lot of his pain, but he still groaned in pain from time to time.

It had been a long night, both for her and for Sirius.

She tried to contact her father, but got no reply.

Apparently her father disappeared again.

She began to worry vaguely, if he had met those Death Eaters in Hogsmeade last night...

She remembered one of the Death Eaters mentioning her father's name.They have been trying to catch him, and they also know that Ersha is his daughter, but they did not pursue Ersha last night.

—perhaps they had already caught him.

This thought made Ursa even more worried, and as a result, she couldn't close her eyes almost all night.

Sirius finally woke up the next morning.

He slowly opened his eyes and looked at Ersha who was leaning against his bed with his chin resting on his back.She was asleep with her head down, but her eyes were not fully closed.

"Ersha?" He called her name hoarsely.

Ursa's body bounced violently.

"Sirius!" she exclaimed in surprise.Her eyes were bloodshot, and one could tell that she hadn't slept all night.

"How are you feeling?" she asked eagerly.

Sirius coughed lightly, and pulled his dry and peeling lips, "It's okay. It's just that my head is a little dizzy... It's like being kicked by a troll."

Ersha didn't blame him for being in the mood to joke at this moment.She forced a smile, "What would you like? A drink of water?"

"Yes, please." Sirius looked at her quietly with dark gray eyes, "My throat is dry as hell."

Ursa poured a glass of water in a hurry, and then she stretched out her arms to help Sirius up.

"Where am I?" He looked around as he drank his water. "Saint Mungo?"

"Yes."

"Where is she?" Sirius asked suddenly.

Ursa knew who he was talking about.She swallowed, "She's dead."

Sirius froze, he looked at Ursa in surprise, "Bellatrix is ​​dead?"

"Yes." Erza said dryly.

"How did you die?"

"It was me," she replied, "...I killed her."

"It was you?" Sirius stared at her in surprise as if he had met Ersa for the first time, "You killed her?"

Erza nodded slightly.

She suddenly remembered that Bellatrix was actually Sirius' cousin.

Her mood, which had already calmed down, was a little shaken again.After all, that woman is also a relative of Sirius, if...

Facts have proved that Ersha's concerns are completely unnecessary.

Sirius suddenly put his arms around Ursa's shoulders, and pressed her head gently against his chest.

"I'm sorry," he whispered over her head, "I'm sorry for putting you through this."

Erza opened her eyes slightly.

The circles of her eyes suddenly became moist, but it was not because of fear at all.

"I'm fine." She replied muffled, "It's not your fault."

At this time, the door of the ward was knocked suddenly.They subconsciously parted.

"Sorry to bother you." A hairy head came in. It was James Potter. "How are you feeling, Padfoot?"

"Not bad." Sirius grinned.

Walking in right after James was Peter.Unexpectedly, Ursa did not see Remus Lupine.

"How's the moon face?" Sirius asked with a frown.

"He's slightly hurt," James said, "but he'll be fine. Madam Pomfrey knows what to do."

"I'll get you some drinks." Ursa stood up and said.

"Coffee, thanks," James said bluntly.

"I don't need it." Peter muttered in a low voice with a little averted eyes.

A few minutes later, when Ursa returned to the ward again, she suddenly heard Sirius' voice saying, "Are you sure?"

"He's admitted everything," James said. "He said he was coerced into joining the Death Eaters. It's a good thing he's an underage wizard, and the Aurors haven't been too rough on him. They decide next week put him on trial..."

Ursa opened the door and walked in.

"Who are you talking about?" she asked, frowning.

Sirius looked at her without saying a word.

"They've got Regulus Black," James replied.

"What?" Ursa's eyes widened.

Sirius replied bluntly: "They arrested Regulus in the corridor of Hogwarts, and they found the Dark Mark on his arm. In fact, Regulus was the two who were stunned by me." One of the Death Eaters."

"Another Hogwarts student," said James, "is Mulciber of Slytherin House."

"Mulciber?" repeated Ursa, startled.Of course she remembered him.That student had once clashed with James and the others in the hallway.

"So, two of the four Death Eaters are students?" Ursa said in disbelief.

"It seems so." James replied, and he sneered sarcastically, "Maybe this is the real purpose of their attack on Hogwarts. They want these new members to have a chance to show themselves."

Peter, who had been silent all this time, suddenly writhed uneasily, "This is terrible. It's hard to imagine that there are Death Eaters among us."

"Don't be so timid, Wormtail." James took Peter's uneasiness as fear, "Even so, so what, I don't believe that guy dares to single-handedly make any noise at Hogwarts. Death Eaters Most of them are cowards. Maybe he is hiding somewhere and trembling now, for fear that he will be found out."

"What do the Aurors say?" Ursa asked.

"Of course they decided to search the whole of Hogwarts. They spent the night checking every student's arm, but found no Dark Mark," James said.

Sirius continued, "According to me, maybe that guy is too weak, and Voldemort doesn't even bother to give him the mark."

Peter laughed dryly.

"One more thing." James said suddenly.He looked at them hesitantly, as if unsure if he should speak of the incident.

"What could surprise me more?" Sirius raised his eyebrows.

James took a deep breath, "...Bellatrix escaped."

"What?" The cup in Ersha's hand almost slipped, "What are you talking about? She is obviously dead—"

"Yes, the Aurors said Bellatrix did stop breathing for a moment when they arrived," James said, "but she didn't die. She was knocked out while the Aurors searched the castle guard, and escaped through the secret passage."

"No, it's impossible, I killed her." Ursa refused to believe what James said, "I cast that spell on her."

"I'm sorry, Miss Green." James looked at Ersa full of regret, "but your death curse didn't really work. But it's very common, Avada Kedavra often fails, especially The wizard who used this spell for the first time—”

Ursa sat down on the chair dejectedly.

"Ersa." Sirius called her name, but she ignored it.

"Look at me, Ursa." Sirius called out forcefully.

Ursa turned to look at Sirius in a daze.

"Listen, it's not your fault." Sirius frowned and said, "You've done a good job, understand?"

"Yes. If there's anything to blame, it's the Aurors," James said.

"But I told them I killed Bellatrix," murmured Ursa, "if I hadn't said that, maybe they would have found out she wasn't dead at all."

"But you didn't have a clear mind at the time, you were always worried about me, remember?" Sirius said softly, "Come here."

He held out his hand to beckon Ursa over.

Ursa sat down and took his slightly cold palm.

"Don't worry, Ursa. Everything will pass." Sirius said, and then he pulled Ursa over and kissed her forehead. "Those Death Eaters will never succeed."

Ersha pressed her face against his chest, and said in a muffled voice a little unwillingly: "If she dares to appear again, I will kill her again. I will not let her hurt any of us."

Sirius blinked in surprise.

"Oh yes, I knew you would," he whispered.

James, who was standing aside and watching the scene, coughed softly, "Pay attention to rest, Padfoot. Let's go back to class first."

"Let's go." Sirius mouthed him.
