[HP Sirius] Sweet Potions

A knock on the door caught their attention.Ursa looked up and was surprised to see Professor Mulligan standing in the doorway.

"Professor Mulligan?" Ursa asked in surprise.

"I've come to visit my students," said Professor Mulligan hoarsely.He looked more haggard than in previous days. "How are you feeling, Mr. Black?"

"I can leave the hospital today," Sirius said.

"That's not bad." Professor Mulligan pulled the corners of his mouth and tried to show a smile, but there was still obvious bitterness in his smile, "Mr. Bauer and Miss Sapani are not so lucky. They probably have to live together." It will take more than a week to recover."

"I've heard. They're also being treated at St. Mungo's, aren't they?" Sirius said.

"Yes. I just went to see them."

Sirius and Ursa exchanged quick glances.

Ursa could see the confusion in Sirius' eyes.Professor Mulligan seldom took the initiative to care about his students. He was always a serious and cold man.

"I want to say..." Professor Mulligan hesitated, "I'm sorry."

"Why do you have to apologize?" Ursa asked, looking at him.

"You'll know." Professor Mulligan replied stiffly.He was silent for a moment, then sighed suddenly.He looked at Ersa and said, "Actually, I have seen you since you were a child. You were still a little kid at that time. Your father has always regarded you as the most precious treasure, and he loves you very much."

"Yes, I know." Ursa replied.Why is he talking about this?

"He must be very proud of you." Mulligan continued, and he sighed again, "Sometimes, children grow up to do a lot of things beyond your imagination, and sometimes you ask yourself, maybe it is you Casting him into such a person... Maybe the mistakes he made are all your faults in the final analysis."

Neither Ursa nor Sirius answered.None of them could understand why Professor Mulligan was bringing up these things all of a sudden.

"I'm sorry, but I shouldn't have said that." Professor Mulligan said suddenly, "I didn't sleep almost all night yesterday, and I was a little not sober. Anyway, I'm glad to see you recover, Mr. Black."

After saying this, he turned and left.

"What is he trying to say?" Sirius asked, frowning.

"I don't know," Erza murmured.

After returning to Hogwarts, Ursa quickly understood what Professor Mulligan was referring to.

Professor Mulligan tendered his resignation to the Chancellor.Most shockingly, he denounced his nephew, Fred Rozier, to the Ministry of Magic.The Aurors immediately arrested Fred Rozier from his dormitory.

They later found out that Rozier hadn't joined the Death Eaters because he didn't have the Dark Mark on his arm.But he had already done a lot for the Death Eaters, such as his participation in the attack on Hogsmeade a few days ago.

"Even the Death Eaters don't want him," James said sarcastically.

"Maybe he was eager to prove himself, which is why he did those things." Remus speculated.

"He's just a coward," said Peter contemptuously.

"Of course." Sirius leaned on his chin and said lazily, his eyes were looking in Ersa's direction, "Only cowards hide in the shadows and hurt others."

Peter immediately agreed.

"They should give you extra points," James said suddenly.

"Yeah, you took on four Death Eaters by yourself and knocked out two of them," Remus said.

"Not alone, exactly." Sirius shrugged, "But I'd rather she give me extra points than cancel my confinement for this month."

Since the confinement was lifted, Sirius rarely had the opportunity to be alone with Ersha now.

The Aurors once again strengthened their patrols inside the castle, and the curfew time was brought forward again.Now students have to go back to their dormitories after dinner.This is not good news for the robber four.

"It's a good thing they didn't discover Moon-Face's identity," James said.

Remus pursed his lips, his face darkened a bit.

"Don't take it to heart, Remus," Sirius reassured, "We both know you didn't mean to hurt that man. You're nothing like those Death Eaters."

Remus smiled reluctantly.

"Think about something happy." James grinned suddenly, "I'm going to ask Evans out on a date tomorrow, what do you think are my chances of success?"

His words successfully broke the heavy atmosphere.

"I think it's weird." Sirius said with a smile.

A few days later, many students dropped out of Hogwarts.Their parents don't think Hogwarts is safe anymore.

The Baker sisters' parents picked them up one weekend evening.They said goodbye to Ursa before they left, and Lisa even cried.

Kathy seemed to be infected by her sister's emotions, and hugged and said goodbye to Ersha with red eyes.

"I'll send you a card," Lisa said, sobbing, feeling like a farewell.In fact, they did not see each other for a long time, because the Baker sisters' parents wanted to take them to hide in a foreign country.

After sending off the Baker sisters, Ursa suddenly felt that her life would never be the same again, and this is the case for all wizards in England.

After that incident, an atmosphere of fear and anxiety enveloped the entire British wizarding community.Even Hogwarts was no longer considered safe, and the Death Eaters had succeeded in sowing terror in the wizarding world.

But it wasn't just that that disturbed Ursa.She has been worrying about her father.In a blink of an eye, she had received news from him for two full months.

Maybe he went to a shelter in Vietnam alone.Erza consoled herself.

But is this really the case?

The month of May seems to be coming to an end.

The temperature gradually rises.The students quickly came out of the haze of the previous period. Through the window, Ersha could see many children chasing and playing in the warm sunshine every day.

She was walking by the lake that day when she heard footsteps behind her.

For some reason, she knew who it was without looking back.

"Ersha." A familiar voice called her name.

Ursa turned her head and saw Sirius with his hands in his pockets, leaning against the tree and smiling at himself.

— they already know each other very well, but Ursa still occasionally gets his heart racing because of his sudden appearance.

Ursa walked towards him, then stopped a few feet away from him.She looked up at him and asked with a smile, "What are you doing here?"

"I just saw you," Sirius said.

Ursa subconsciously looked towards the castle.She found it impossible to see it from any of the castle windows.

"How did you find me?" Ursa asked curiously.

"I have a way." Sirius blinked his eyes pretending to be mysterious, "Want to hang out together?"

"where to?"

Sirius pouted at the Forbidden Forest.

—A walk in the Forbidden Forest in broad daylight?

Ursa couldn't help laughing, "Okay."

"Actually, as long as you don't leave the path, the Forbidden Forest is not as dangerous as people think." Sirius said to Ursa.He seemed already very familiar with the woods.

Ursa agrees.

Sirius suddenly smiled, "You are willing to break the school rules with me now, Miss Green. What has changed in you this year?"

"Oh, there are so many school rules that I broke with you." Ursa sighed.

Sirius smiled even more happily.

He stopped under a huge locust tree, "I plan to leave Hogwarts next week."

Erza looked at him in surprise.

"Next week?" She thought he would at least finish the school year before leaving.

"The exam is one month away," Sirius said with a wink and a smile, "this way I don't have to take the exam."

It was for this reason that Ursa did not believe him.

"But you don't care about exam grades," said Ursa. "Don't forget you only passed your Potions paper last time."

"I heard from James that the Order of the Phoenix is ​​recruiting. They are in urgent need of manpower. James and I are going to try it," he said.

"But they don't pay you." Ersha said after thinking about it.

"Yeah, no salary." Sirius smiled, "but if you see my deposit at Gringotts, you can see why I don't care so much about salary."

"Okay." Ursa sighed, "tell me which day you will leave."

"I've asked Professor Dumbledore to drop me," he said, "just now. He looked very surprised when I said I was going to join the Order. He tried to persuade me to finish my seventh year, but my attitude was— —”

"What did you say?" Ursa interrupted him in surprise, "You have already applied for withdrawal?"

Sirius smiled and said, "Yes."

"But—" Ersha searched for the words that best expressed her mood at the moment, "but you never mentioned it to me."

"I'm going to surprise you." Sirius said with a smile.

Ersha frowned and looked at him, "What surprise?"

Sirius suddenly took a step forward.

He approached Ersa, ambiguously close to her cheek, "Look, what is this?"

Ursa was addicted to his breathing, looking at his handsome face, "...what?"

He muttered an incantation under his breath.A golden light appeared in the air between their faces, forming a small circle.

After a few seconds, the glow faded away.

In front of Ersha's eyes was a smooth silver ring with a beautiful purple gemstone inlaid on it.

Ersha opened her eyes wide, looking at it in disbelief.

Sirius gently held up the floating ring with his slender fingers, and stared at Ursa intently.

"Will you marry me, Miss Ursa Green?" His voice was unusually soft.
