[Comprehensive HP colleagues] That year

April 1

"Lynn:

I couldn’t find the book that introduced various bloodline tracking methods that I told you before, but I found a book called "Bloodline Tracker". I read the introduction, and that thing seems to help a person understand the truth A complete family tree, but the manufacturing process seems complicated.I don't know if you need it, but if you need it, I'll bring it to you when school starts.

Sirius"

April 1

"Sirius:

Need, need, to tell you the truth, this is exactly the book I've been looking for.I read in a book in the Hogwarts library that the manufacturing process of the 'Bloodline Tracker' was lost as early as the 16th century. I didn't expect that you still have it at home.

Thank you very much.

Lynn"

April 1

On the first night back to school, the classroom on the second floor was empty. Lynn looked at Lily and Snape in front of him, the large cauldron with boiling water beside them, and the large cauldron-shaped cake in Snape's arms. He was a little dumbfounded. .

"Why are you here?"

"Why are you here?"

Lynn and Snape said in unison.

Seeing this, Lily hurriedly said, "Lynn, since you introduced this room to me last time, I often come here with Sif to study potions at night."

"You guys are really brave. You actually researched the potion without the professor watching. Are you afraid that you didn't make the whole crucible explode?"

"No, the Sif potion is on the mend." Lily said with pure trust in her tone.

"Yes, classmate Snape's potion is indeed very good, but this cake..."

"I made this myself." Lily said with a smile, "Today is Sev's birthday, so I made a cake as a birthday present. Since you are here, Lynn, why don't you come and celebrate together."

"So today is your birthday, Snape? Well, happy birthday to you." Lynn said with a smile.

"Thank you," Snape replied dryly.

Seeing Snape's expression, Lynn felt that he was not as welcoming as Lily, so he said, "It's a pity that I still have an appointment with someone else, so I can't stay here any longer."

Lily was a little disappointed, but she didn't force it.So Lynn walked out of that classroom and went to the top of the North Tower.

**************

Lynn did have an appointment with someone, but the appointment time was half an hour later.But when she arrived at the appointed place ahead of schedule, she found that the person who invited her had also arrived ahead of schedule, but was arguing with another person.

"Sirius, what exactly are you thinking? I just moved back to my own home this holiday, and I heard that you were disqualified as an heir by the family. What did you do?" It was Xia Kelin who spoke.

"It's just a matter of transferring. As soon as I go home this time, my mother will force me to transfer or transfer to another school. I refuse, so it's just like what you heard..." Sirius' words sounded very strange. He didn't care, but for some reason, Lin En just felt that he heard a hint of loneliness.

"Sirius, what's so good about Gryffindor? It's worth you abandoning your family?"

"What are you talking about? First, Gryffindor is indeed very good. It gave me sunshine, freedom, and friendship without utilitarianism. Second, I just followed the decision of the Sorting Hat. You said 'abandoning the family'? They disqualified me as the heir, but it turned out that I abandoned them? It's really inexplicable!"

"You are confusing right and wrong! The Black family has been in Slytherin for generations, but you just want to stay in Gryffindor. Isn't this abandoning the family? Don't you know that because of your willfulness, the Black family is now in Slater?" Lin Li couldn't lift his head at all."

"Ha, how funny! Our family has always claimed to be ancient and noble, but I can be looked down upon by other Slytherins just because of my belonging to the house! This is really 'noble'!" Sirius said the word "noble", Bite extra hard.

"Sirius, can you have a sense of family responsibility? The honor of the Black family shouldn't be something you use to make fun of!"

"Family honor? A family's honor can only be proved by the affiliation of the child's college. Don't you think that is sad? There is also a sense of 'family responsibility'. Blood interests are above all else, Muggles and Muggle-born wizards should be killed and damned' Family responsibility, I really don't have it, no matter how you say it, I can't learn it!"

"Why are you so unreasonable? Who said that the honor of the Black family is only reflected in those places?"

"Then tell me, what is the honor of the Black family?"

"Yes... yes..." Xia Kelin got stuck, and Sirius sneered.

"It is to carry forward the glory of the Black family, so that everyone will respect and praise the Black family when they mention it." Xia Kelin finally thought of it.

"Then I really want to ask you, who is this 'everyone' referring to?" Sirius said, "Does it just refer to those Slytherins, or everyone in the wizarding world? If it is the former, then I have nothing to say, If it's the latter, why can't I do it in Gryffindor?"

"You...you are making too much sense..." Lynn felt that Xia Kelin's voice was obviously no longer so full of temper.

"You can't say no to me, so just say I'm making too much sense, cut..." Sirius said disdainfully.

Xia Kelin couldn't take it anymore: "Okay, I can't talk to you. I said a lot of good things, but if you don't listen to me, then I can't help it. I will leave the words here today. If you don't listen to me, sooner or later you will I will regret that day!"

After speaking, Xia Kelin turned her head and left.Lin En hurriedly hid aside, eavesdropping on the matter in the corner, it's better not to let the person involved find out.

After Xia Kelin left for a long time, Sirius suddenly said, "Okay, come out, I heard you just now, I have very good hearing."

Lynn came out embarrassingly, and whispered, "I didn't mean to eavesdrop."

"That's all right," Sirius said, "but I'd love to hear, what's your take on the matter?"

"Um... I have to say that you are not only good at hearing, but also unrivaled in eloquence. Although Xia Kelin is not a talkative person in Slytherin, as long as she speaks, she is always convincing with reason and evidence. I am really the first This is the first time I saw her being speechless."

"Who asked you to comment on my eloquence?" Sirius said unhappily, "I mean Sha Kelin commented on my lack of sense of family responsibility. Do you think the same as her?"

"Of course not." Lynn said hastily. Sirius' eyes just said that if she dared to say "yes", it would definitely be the rhythm of friendship.She is no more cousin than Xia Kelin and Sirius.

But she said "no", Sirius still looked at her sharply.

Lynn sighed, avoiding Sirius' gaze, walked to a stone pier and sat down, then slowly said: "Just now I heard you ask Xia Kelin, what is the honor of the Black family? I want to ask now too You, what do you think responsibility is?"

"Responsibility?" Sirius was stunned for a moment, but he said immediately, "I don't know what the real definition of responsibility is, but I know it shouldn't be what the Black family thinks. So, what's your opinion?"

"Where do I have any good opinions? It is precisely because I don't understand that I ask you. I have actually thought about this question for a long time, but I still can't give myself a satisfactory answer. When I was very young, I used to I think that sense of responsibility should be a commendatory word no matter where it is placed, but after some things later, I feel that the world is not so absolute. By the way, have you heard of Hitler?"

"Hitler? Who's that?"

"He is a very famous war madman in the history of Muggles. He was the head of Germany decades ago and launched the Second World War in the Muggle world. Most Muggles commented on him as Bloodthirsty and cruel, because the war he waged resulted in the deaths of thousands of innocent people. But I also accidentally saw some comments saying that everything Hitler did was based on his attitude towards the Germanic nation. A strong sense of responsibility. When I saw those comments, I thought, does the sense of responsibility to a certain society must be reflected in the resistance to another society? If so, then my adoptive parents are Muggles , my biological parents are wizards. If there is a serious conflict between the wizarding world and the Muggle world one day like it did in the 14th century, which side should I help, and I will not lose my sense of responsibility?"

Sirius stared blankly at Lynn, and suddenly felt that the confusion in his heart these years, the incompatibility between himself and his family, and the process of his respect for the word "family responsibility" from respect to doubt to disgust were actually similar to Lynn's. Getting entangled is one thing at all.It's the phrase "Does the sense of responsibility to a certain society have to be reflected in the boycott of another society?"

Seeing that Sirius didn't speak, Lynn continued: "Maybe I'm thinking too complicated. But anyway, I think you're right. It's understandable to want your child to enter a certain academy, but if a family It is indeed a bit sad that the honor of honor can only be proved by the affiliation of the child's college."

After hearing what Lynn said, Sirius finally had a smile on his face, and then he suddenly remembered something, sat next to Lynn, and then took out a book from the schoolbag behind him and handed it to her.

Lynn took it over, and saw that the book was worn out, but the title could still be seen from the big gilded characters: "Bloodline Tracker".

"Sirius, I really don't know how to thank you."

"What's the matter, it's just borrowing a book for you. I had another idea at first, but now, alas..."

"That idea of ​​yours won't have anything to do with Shaklyn Black?" Lynn asked hesitantly.

"It's related to her." Sirius said gloomily, "Shaklin and Sister Alma of Ravenclaw formed a group to study magic equipment. She invited me, but I didn't take it seriously at the time. Before As soon as I saw how complicated the lineage tracker is to make, I thought I could recommend you to join their group, and they can help you when the time comes. Xia Kelin is very talented in this area, and she even made a tracker herself when she was a child I have tracked down my whereabouts. It's just... as you have seen, I have broken up with her now. However, if you want, you can tell her in person that you are both from Slytherin, and it is convenient for you to communicate with each other."

"I'll think about it, thank you for telling me the news," Lynn said.

**************

At 12 o'clock that night, in the Gryffindor dormitory, James was furiously figuring out his thesis homework on the history of magic on the bed, when Sirius suddenly heard a nonsensical sentence: "James, you have a sense of responsibility to a certain society. Does it have to be expressed through resistance to another society?"

"Why did you suddenly think of this?" James was at a loss.

"Don't worry about what I think, just tell me what you think."

"I can't say that, and it depends on which aspect of the boycott you are talking about. For example, the gang of Slytherins bullied Mary and the others. In order to protect the honor of Gryffindor, let's help Mary and the others It's normal to seek justice. But Carlo Mulcyber and the others treat all Muggle-born students as imaginary enemies, and they insist on running them against them every now and then, as if this is the only way to reflect their Slytherin spirit. Honor, that's beyond my comprehension."

"That's right..." Sirius murmured.

Seeing that Sirius had stopped talking, James went back to his homework plan.

**************

the next day.

"You want to join our research team? How did you know about the existence of this team? I've never told anyone about it." Xia Kelin looked suspiciously at Lynn in front of her.

"Um... I overheard Sirius Black mentioning it." Lynn said.

"Sirius? Do you have a relationship with Sirius?!" Shaklin was even more surprised.

"Uh... When I went home for Christmas, on the platform, my parents were late, and his family was also late. There were only two of us on the platform, and we chatted for a while." Lynn replied.

Xia Kelin thought for a while and said, "Our research team never planned to recruit outsiders, but..."

Lynn was depressed when he heard the first two sentences, but when he heard the "but", he pricked up his ears again.

"However, you usually perform well in class, so you can join in first. But you have to go through a trial period, and only after the trial period has passed the consent of all our members can you become an official member of the group after that As for the length of the trial period, I have to discuss it with Sister Alma."

"No problem," Lynn said.

"Then, come to me at six o'clock next Friday night, and I will take you to meet Sister Alma." Shaklin said.

The author has something to say: Happy Birthday, Sirius?

It is said that writing about Snape's birthday on Xiaotian's birthday is really...

In fact, I still feel that Xiaotian's birthday is on November 11st, which is more tragic. If he was wronged and imprisoned on his birthday, it would be cruel to think about it.
