[Comprehensive HP colleagues] That year

James Potter felt that what happened today really challenged his cognitive limits.First, the crazy woman cast the Imperius Curse on Sirius to transfer him to another hospital, and then she let Sirius hit him with a wooden stick. In order to completely get rid of the Imperius Curse, Sirius smashed the wooden stick on his head , and made a bloody head.Fortunately, Professor McGonagall arrived later, but Sirius only said that the crazy woman had cast a confusion spell on him, and she insisted on concealing the Imperius Curse.

James' uncle, Charles, was an Auror, so James clearly knew that the Imperius Curse was one of the three unforgivable curses, and that casting any of those three spells on others was punishable by imprisonment or even death.Sirius said that person was his cousin, and he couldn't really send her to Azkaban for a lifetime.But Sirius could swallow this breath, he, James Potter, couldn't swallow it!

Madam Pomfrey declared Sirius to be hospitalized for at least three days because of the Imperius Curse and smashing his head.It was dark when James came out of the school hospital.The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, why did Sirius suffer so much, and those culprits just deducted points? !He's going to tell Professor McGonagall the truth!

But when he reached the door of Professor McGonagall, he hesitated again.This is Sirius's family matter, Sirius himself is unwilling, and if he stands up for him, will it cause trouble for Sirius instead?

Just when he was hesitating, he suddenly heard footsteps, he subconsciously flashed, and found that he had entered a secret passage.What surprised him even more was that in the secret passage, he could clearly hear Professor McGonagall's voice in the office.

"Miss Bruce, have you really thought about it, don't add points?" Professor McGonagall's voice came.

"Professor McGonagall, to be honest, if I wasn't a student of Slytherin myself, I would definitely think that you gave too few points to those senior Slytherin students. After all, Sirius Black was... Well, this seems to be his family business, I have no position to comment. I didn't do anything, anyone with a conscience will do it if he sees this kind of thing there. If you really give me extra points, I would feel ashamed instead. Besides, I don't want anyone, especially the Slytherins, to know that I asked you for help."

"Since you refuse, I won't force it. But Bruce, can you tell me, is Sirius Black really just under the Confusion Curse as he said?"

James felt that Bruce's voice suddenly became trembling: "He, did he say that? He said he was under the Confusion Curse?!"

"Yes, but Potter's expression told me that things are not that simple."

There was an eerie silence.

After a long time, Bruce's voice came again: "Professor McGonagall, this is Blake's own business. You know the truth, and it may not be a good thing for him. In any case, I will not say what I shouldn't say. If you want to say it, you must say it." Blake told you himself."

Professor McGonagall sighed: "Well, Miss Bruce, I still want to thank you for informing me of the danger of Black and Potter in time. You can rest assured that I will not disclose your participation in this matter to anyone Yes. It's getting late, you, go back and rest."

Bruce left, leaving James alone in the shadows of the tunnel.

***********

The next day, James took his two roommates, Remus and Peter, to the school hospital to visit Sirius, and happened to see Sirius' cousin Shakelin also came to visit Sirius.

"Hey, are you finally willing to talk to Sirius? It seems that the members of the Black family are not all mad." James said angrily.He knew that since Sirius told Xia Kelin that he would not be transferred, Xia Kelin hadn't spoken to Sirius for more than ten days.

Xia Kelin glanced at James contemptuously, and said coldly, "Siris and I are brothers and sisters, and it's not up to you, an outsider, to comment on our family's affairs."

When Sirius heard this, he rushed ahead of James and said dissatisfiedly: "James is also complaining for me, why do you bother him. I will consider the matter of the study group you mentioned. You go first, your next session There's class, don't be late."

Xia Kelin's complexion was not very good, but since Sirius had already issued a tactful eviction order, she didn't want to stay longer in this place with James Potter.She said "you take a good rest" and walked out of the ward.

"What study group did you just say?" James asked after Xia Kelin left.

"It's nothing. The twin sisters of Shaklin and Ravenclaw formed a group to study magic props and invited me to participate. To be honest, I'm not really interested, but it's not good to refute her face." Sirius said, He greeted Remus and Peter again, and then he turned to James and asked, "By the way, James, I've been meaning to ask you, how do you know I'm in that classroom?"

James immediately showed a strange expression: "Do you still remember that there is a Slytherin freshman named Lynn Bruce?"

"Bruce? The one with Evans and Snape on the train?"

"Yes, it's her. I was looking for you everywhere, and then I met her. She told me that someone called you to the empty classroom on the fourth floor."

"It's her?" Sirius was surprised.

"Not only that, I overheard Professor McGonagall talking to Bruce in the corridor yesterday, saying thank you Bruce for telling her that we were in danger, and I wanted to give her extra points, but she refused."

"She asked you to save me, and then asked Professor McGonagall to save us?" Sirius yelled in disbelief.

"Yeah, amazing, right? I thought those Slytherin freshmen would do nothing but provoke Muggle-born classmates..." James said, talking about Professor McGonagall and Bruce's conversation was recounted to Sirius, and after the retelling, he added: "It's really thanks to her this time. When you are discharged from the hospital, we should really thank her face to face."

"But James," Remus objected at this time, "From your description just now, Bruce probably didn't want others to know that she sent Professor McGonagall, probably because he was afraid that those Slytherins would retaliate. Sirius went to look for her as soon as he was discharged from the hospital, maybe it would be inconvenient for her instead."

"Troublesome!" James muttered. "The Slytherins are complicated."

Sirius smiled slyly at this moment: "Don't worry about that. James, I remember you said that you have an invisibility cloak in your hand..."

*********Three days later**********

It was 55:[-] in the evening, and Lynn stood on the top of the North Tower, staring at the night view of the Hogwarts grounds in a daze.

Two days ago, she had received a letter from Sirius Black, saying that she would personally thank herself tonight.Lynn knew that what Sirius Black had done during this time had offended the Slytherins. He made them lose [-] points, and even caused the Slytherin prefects Lucius and Narcissa to be imprisoned Incarceration, if some other Slytherin knew that she was hanging out with Black at this juncture, it might cause trouble.

But she still agreed to the appointment.There were some things she should have asked Blake herself.If you miss this intersection, you don't know if you will have a chance in the future.

Five minutes later, she heard soft rustling voices behind her, and when she looked back, she saw two heads popping out of thin air.

"Invisibility Cloak?!" she exclaimed.

"Yes, it's from my family's ancestors." James replied proudly, "This way, you don't have to worry about someone seeing you with us and making trouble for you."

"Thank you for thinking of this layer for me. But, can this invisibility cloak hold three people?"

"Yes, we just experimented in the dormitory." James said with a smile.

Lynn slipped into the cloak, and then she was embarrassed.The invisibility cloak can indeed hold her, but it means that she has to reach a shoulder-to-shoulder state with the two boys.

"Cough..." she said helplessly, "Actually, you have already expressed your thanks in your letter, and I have accepted your thanks. But since you asked me out, I happen to have something, and I want to ask Mr. Black alone, so , Potter, can you..."

"Alone?" James asked back with a strange expression, "Is there anything I can't listen to?" Sirius and this Bruce don't have much friendship, and there is something that needs to be discussed alone.

"It's not that I can't listen, but I think it's strange to have other people present when I ask these things. If Black classmate wants to tell you afterwards, I don't mind."

"Okay, James, don't be a mother-in-law, hurry up, go down and guard for us." Sirius pushed James as if to push him out of the invisibility cloak.

"Okay, okay, I really value sex over friends." James muttered in a low voice and went downstairs.

It was quiet again on the tower.

Now, in the small space under the invisibility cloak, only Sirius and Lynn were left, which made Sirius feel that the distance between him and Lynn was closer than when James was still there, which made him a little uneasy.

In fact, Sirius has always been favored by girls because he was handsome since he was a child.Although his reputation in the pure-blooded Slytherin family deteriorated rapidly in the one or two years before he went to school, there are always some girls who can temporarily ignore his "bad deeds" for the sake of good looks ", Among them, Edith Malfoy is a typical example.Even so, Sirius still hadn't been able to cultivate the unrestrained demeanor of "living among thousands of flowers, not a single leaf touches his body". When facing girls' entanglement, he always hid whenever he could.This also led to the fact that, apart from his cousin Andromeda and Xia Kelin who grew up with him, he had never stood so close to a girl for so long.

And he could feel that the girl beside him was also very embarrassed.

So he said, "What do you want to ask me?"

"Uh... First of all, I want to say that I admire you very much. I saw you resisting the Imperius Curse. It is rare for a first-year student to have that kind of resistance consciousness." Lynn said.

"It's nothing. When others force you to do something you don't want to do, it's human instinct to have a sense of resistance." Sirius said matter-of-factly.

But Lin En shook his head: "If it were really so easy to resist, the Imperius Curse would not be called one of the three unforgivable curses."

"I didn't actually resist successfully, remember, I smashed my head out."

"Well, if you must be so humble, I won't discuss with you how powerful you are. But, who was the person who cast a curse on you that day? Why did you tell Professor McGonagall that she just cast a curse on you? Confusion spell? It's too dangerous for such a person to break into the school."

Sirius paused for a moment, and then said uncomfortably, "Her name is Bellatrix Lestrange, her maiden name is Blake, and she is my cousin."

"Cousin?! Then why did she treat you..." Lynn was so shocked that he couldn't believe his ears.

"Why else, you were in Slytherin, didn't you hear my dear cousin Narcissa or cousin Shaklin say that she wanted to force me to transfer?" Sirius had a sneer on his face.

"Just to force you to transfer, your cousin cast an Imperius Curse on you?!" Lin En's voice was full of anger.

"You don't know the Black family, that's nothing to the Black family." Sirius replied with a self-deprecating smile.

Lynn looked at Sirius, his heart suddenly seemed to be stabbed, and the tide of the past suddenly surged again without warning.She thought of her grandfather in her previous life, who once said she was a disgrace to the family, and then kicked her out of the house at the age of eight, leaving her to fend for herself in the swamp.

"Is such a person still considered a relative? The so-called blood connection, but what he does is not as good as a friend who has known him not long ago..." Lynn murmured.

"You also have such relatives?" Sirius asked sensitively.

Lynn looked at Sirius and said in a low voice: "It used to be, but from the moment he no longer regards me as a relative, I will no longer treat him as a relative."

"Who is that man?" Sirius asked again.Lynn, on the other hand, was silent.

"Forget it, this is your private matter, so let it be if you don't want to say it." Sirius didn't force it.

"It's...it's my grandfather." Lin En finally said it out, "Back then, when I was only eight years old, he removed me from the family and kicked me out of the house. I was almost eaten by a wild beast, Fortunately, my father came back in time to save me."

Sirius opened his mouth wide: "Oh my god, be removed from the family? This is really like our family! Do you know? Almost every generation of the Black family has one or two people who were removed from the family, but they were all after they became adults. Except for Squibs. I have a cousin I like very much, but she was expelled from the family because she married a Muggle-born wizard. When I first started school, I was worried that I would go to Gryffindor. Became the first member of the Black family to be expelled from the family due to reasons other than magic."

Lynn just wanted to say, how could there be a family that would be expelled because its members did not enter the ideal college, but she immediately thought, the Black family can even use the Imperius Curse, what can't be done?

"Anyway, I actually envy you. Although you have such a family...but you are very courageous. The Slytherin family that has been passed down for thousands of years, and the only Gryffindor in 100 years, you have the courage to go if you want to go If I were you, no matter how much I like you, I would not have the courage to resist the pressure of the whole family and choose Gryffindor."

"Actually, it cannot be said that I chose Gryffindor, but Gryffindor chose me. It accepted me, and I naturally have to accept it with the same enthusiasm."

After hearing what Sirius said, Lynn said: "When you said that, I remembered that when you were sorted that day, you looked rather confused. But when people around me talked about you, they said that you were for the limelight or The Sorting Hat tricked the Sorting Hat on purpose because it was against the family, I’ve heard so much that I almost believed it.”

Sirius' eyes widened, and he said with some amusement, "I don't know, so they said that about me? To show off or deliberately confront the family? This sounds much cooler than the truth."

Sirius' answer made Lynn dumbfounded.

"Okay, let's not mention this, now, I want to ask you one last question." Lynn got serious.

"What is it?"

Lynn closed his eyes, took a deep breath, then opened them, and said, "Do you know a girl named Adele?"

"Adele?" Sirius lowered his head and thought for a while, then said with certainty, "I don't know you."

This answer was expected by Lynn, but she still felt a little emotional for the answer: "It turns out that you are really not him..."

"Him? Who is he? Who is Adele?"

"They...are all my former friends."

"Why do you think it's possible for me to know them? Our lives never crossed paths, did we?"

"Yeah, there is no intersection, it's just that your appearance is somewhat similar to 'him'. I used to think that you might be his relative or something, but it seems that you are not."

"what is his name?"

"His name is Sanders, just, Sanders."
