[Comprehensive HP colleagues] That year

Sirius Black was an unusual boy in many ways.That doesn't mean he's a wizard, of course, thank goodness they're all wizards, and that's nothing unusual.What we mean by unusual is that the summer vacation is the one thing he hates most of the year, and that it's a good thing for him that his parents don't care about him.

Of course, that wasn't to say Sirius really wanted his parents to ignore him.The so-called "good thing" is just a comparison with his previous miserable Christmas.

At the beginning of this vacation, Sirius was also full of expectations, because he got the first place in the whole grade in the final exam last year.However, when he came home with a gleaming report card and hoped to prove to his parents that he could win the family glory in Gryffindor, his parents didn't even look at him and directly regarded him as air.That night, Sirius waited in the house for a long time but did not see Kreacher coming to tell him that dinner was ready as usual, so he went downstairs by himself, only to find that his parents and Regulus had just finished eating, and the house elf Dora Getting ready to clear the table.

His parents and brother had already spotted him, and he was standing at the stairs, walking forward or turning around to go upstairs, feeling a dull pain in his heart—what do they mean by this?

Walburga looked at him, without the slightest warmth in his eyes: "Do you think that being deprived of heir qualifications is just as simple as losing that layer of status? You should also pay the price for your betrayal. Considering that you are still underage In fact, the Black family doesn't mind having an extra mouth to eat, but you are not qualified to sit at the same table with us." As he spoke, he dragged his husband and second son upstairs, refusing to look at Sirius again.

So Sirius just froze at the stairs, he only felt his heart constrict violently, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind.If Dora hadn't called him, he didn't know how long he would be frozen.

"Little master, I just reheated the food, eat it quickly, or it will be cold again." Dora said, grabbing Sirius's clothes.

Sirius sniffled, sat down on the dining table, and thought angrily: Tsk, isn't it just not sitting at the same table with them? Woolen cloth.Then, he stuffed food into his mouth like venting his anger, completely disregarding the etiquette teachings given to him by his portrait teacher when he was young.Now there is no one, no matter how good his etiquette is, is there any use for it?

Seeing Dora's timid look beside him, Sirius asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

"No, no, if the masters don't finish eating, how dare Dora eat first."

"Then Kreacher didn't eat either?"

"Kreacher has already eaten. He is a house elf born in Black's old house, so he is naturally more noble than Dora."

Now Sirius gets angry when he hears the word "noble", but he doesn't notice at all that his status in the family is even worse than that of Kreacher.

"Noble or not, you do all the hard work at home, and you have contributed far more to this family than Kreacher! Come, come up, and have dinner with me."

Dora was very happy when she heard the first two sentences, but when she heard the second sentence, she immediately said in horror: "No, no, no, even Kreacher can only eat in the kitchen. How can Dora be at the same table with the young master?"

"This is my order. Unless, like them, you don't regard me as a member of the Black family."

"No, no, of course not, the little master has not been expelled from the family for a day, and he is a member of the Black family." Dora said quickly.

Sirius put on a face: "Then, if I am expelled from the family one day, you will stop caring about me and don't want to listen to me, will you?"

"No, it won't, there won't be that day!" Dora screamed.

"What if there is?" Sirius persistently wanted an answer.

Dora lowered her head uncomfortably, and raised her head after a while and said, "The little master is a good person, and the little master is willing to talk with Dora, so even if the little master is dismissed, Dora is still willing to listen to the little master."

Sirius heaved a sigh of relief, showing a slightly bitter smile.

Now, he could only find comfort in the house-elf.

In this way, Sirius started his summer vacation life that was regarded as air by his family.Although Regulus would still come to talk to him while his parents were away, Sirius was very disgusted by the "Dark Lord is great" and "Dark Lord is mighty" he kept saying.Sirius wanted to tell his brother about his time in Gryffindor, but Regulus didn't like to hear that.So, the brothers had nothing to say.

In order to make himself feel better, Sirius could only comfort himself, at least, this holiday, he didn't get beaten or locked up in that dark reflection room, so he should be content.

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

About a third of the way through the summer vacation, Sirius' life as air finally came to a turning point.On that day, Xia Kelin, who was far away in Germany, suddenly jumped out of the fireplace and asked him: "Sirius, do you have any books about soul magic in your house?"

Sirius was writing a letter to James, and was startled when he heard Xia Kelin's voice.He raised his head and asked, "Soul magic? I seem to have seen it before. What do you want books about?"

"It's nothing, I was suddenly curious and wanted to study it." Xia Kelin replied.

Sirius said indifferently: "Then I'll ask Rael to ask my mother for you later."

Xia Kelin looked at Sirius and asked hesitantly, "You and your family... are still unhappy?"

"It's not unpleasant, it's just that they treat me like air." Sirius shrugged nonchalantly.

Xia Kelin looked at him sadly: "Could it be that there is really no way out?"

Sirius raised his eyebrows: "I want to have it too, but I can't think of it, can you think of it?"

Xia Kelin heaved a long sigh: "As long as you are willing to transfer..." Before she could say the word transfer, Xia Kelin saw Sirius' face grow long.

"Oh, forget it, I know you don't like to hear it. Let me know about the soul magic book."

"it is good."

Regulus asked, but Walburga, who has been responsive to him since he succeeded his elder brother as the heir to the family, immediately frowned and pushed him out of the study, she said: "Those basically belong to very advanced black magic, Not something you can see right now."

This answer frustrates Xia Kelin very much. She wants to ask Sirius to help him secretly search in Black's study, but Sirius is unwilling.

"Aren't you usually very courageous? Why don't you even dare to secretly find a few books?" Xia Kelin wanted to use the aggressive method.

"It has nothing to do with courage. I just don't think I need to do such thankless things. If my mother finds out, I have to go into the reflection room again."

"If you can help me find it, I'll ask Aunt Walburga to let you come to my house to play, how about it?" Shaklin knew that Sirius was locked up at home every day and was not allowed to go anywhere. His temper is not suffocated.

"How can you guarantee to convince my mother?"

"You look for it first. If you find it, I'll ask my aunt. If my aunt agrees, you can come here with me and someone."

"Deal, you just wait."

A week later, Sirius found a lot of books on soul magic, and as Walburga said, most of them were black magic that seemed extremely advanced.And Xia Kelin didn't know what method she used to make Walburga agree to Sirius' release.

Xia Kelin not only asked Sirius for help, but also wrote letters to Sister Alma and Lynn in their research team, so when Sirius arrived at Xia Kelin's house, he saw Lynn and the others sitting around the coffee table, On the carpet next to it, there are several stacks of books.Sirius also put the book in his hand on the ground, and sat between Xia Kelin and Lynn.He now felt as if he had come back to life from a long sleep.

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

Listening to the discussion of the four girls in the research team, Sirius quickly noticed something strange. The two sisters surnamed Alma seemed to like to change the subject suddenly while they were talking, while Shaklin and Lynn It seems that he has long been used to this kind of jumping discussion.The things they discussed were too academic, and Sirius didn't know much about them, so he couldn't get in the way. Lynn was more understanding, and asked Sirius for opinions from time to time.And what she asked him, he basically knew a little bit, so it wouldn't appear that he was ignorant.

This discussion has been going on for almost a month.During this month, Lynn and Sirius stayed at Shaklin's house, and Sister Alma also reported to Shaklin's house every day.Xia Kelin's mother, Elena, welcomed her daughter's friends very much, and Mrs. Alma often came to visit her. Seeing the two mothers talking happily and carefully preparing food for the children, Sirius couldn't help but lose his mind.

"Is your mother like this too? She cooks for you herself?" Sirius asked Lynn who approached him during the discussion.Lynn nodded.

"You know, my mother...I've never seen her cook. All the food and drink are prepared by house elves. Do you know what a house elf is?"

"I know, there are a bunch of them in the Hogwarts kitchen..." Lynn was silent, looking at Sirius who looked like a melancholy boy, and couldn't help persuading him again: "Sirius... I know, you envy They, Xia Kelin lost her father, but her mother still treated her very well... But Sirius, everyone has their own destiny. God will always give you something as compensation for what it takes away from you. For example, it takes away the love of your parents, but gives you extraordinary talents and friends like Potter. God may be unfair to you in a certain period of time, but I always believe that the suffering and happiness in life should be balanced Yes. Sometimes, we cannot resist the invasion of fate, but if we hold this attitude, we may be able to be contented and happy.”

Sirius smiled at Lynn: "Thank you, I feel much better after hearing what you said. But I said Lynn, why do I sometimes feel that you are not like a person of your age, and you are so mature and scary."

Lynn: "You are so old and frightening. I just read more books, and occasionally feel more emotional. This is the case for those who study history." Lynn loves history, which is something that almost everyone who knows Lynn knows.

Sirius: "Well, I'm not interested in being a historian anyway."

Lynn: "Then what do you want to do in the future?"

Sirius: "I don't know...how about you give me some advice?"

"My suggestion..." Lynn looked carefully at the handsome boy in front of him, and said, "I think you like Quidditch, you have good skills and a handsome face, you might as well be a football star." , keep you welcome."

"A Quidditch star?" Sirius laughed, "I never thought that I would play professionally in the future. But now that I think about it, it's a good choice. But...forget it, this is James's Dream, her mother used to be a player for the Tuthill Tornado team, and became a Quidditch coach after retiring. James has always wanted to inherit his mother's career, so I will not steal his limelight. You said that our skills are similar, I am so much more handsome than him, if I become a football star, will he survive?" He said while making a series of exaggerated flirtatious moves, which made Lynn amused Gotta laugh out loud.

"It's dinner, kids~" Xia Kelin's mother's voice came, interrupting the conversation between the two.

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

After a month of joint discussions, Sirius has basically been tacitly accepted as the fifth member of the research team, and today is their last discussion.

Today is the same as all the previous discussions. At the beginning, Sister Alma was so crooked. She first jumped from the distribution of mysterious creatures in the Forbidden Forest to the Astronomy Tower, and then jumped from the secret passage of the school to the location of the school kitchen, but , Sirius was quite interested in the last topic.

Lynn tried to turn the topic back to soul magic, but Teresia (the elder sister of the two sisters) refused to let her simply pull the topic back, and instead criticized the magic education in the UK.Therecia believes that Hogwarts education only has those simple introductory courses, but few of them are really developed on the purely academic route.This topic received strong responses from her younger sister Gloria and Shaklin. The three girls discussed the difficulty of in-depth academic research with great enthusiasm, and finally agreed to establish a purely academic research that is not limited to the study of magical equipment. team.They intend to make this team open to all Hogwarts students in a short period of time, and anyone who has the ability can join.In the long run, it will be built in the direction of the second magic school in the UK.

Finally, they named this academic research team "Avalon".

When the discussion is over, it's time to say goodbye.

Sirius and Lynn walked on the Muggle streets, enjoying the warm breeze in the summer evening.This month's day and night together has made the friendship between the two people heat up sharply.

"After today's discussion, you have been silent. Do you have any different thoughts about 'Avalon'?" Sirius asked.

Lynn shook his head slightly: "No, I think everyone's ideas are very good. In fact, I admire them for their high pursuit."

"But I just think you have something to say." Sirius said stubbornly.

=============================

Xia Kelin summoned the team members because she wanted to study soul magic, which is the plot of Chapter 22-23 of "Black Honor", and the establishment of "Avalon" is the plot of Chapter 25 of "Black Honor".
