[Comprehensive HP colleagues] That year

Lynn looked at Sirius helplessly, with a moment of confusion in his eyes.She thought about it, and said slowly: "Siris, when Shakelin and the others were discussing that, I was really, really surprised. Everyone has just finished the first-year course, but they have already understood the senior-year class. The situation of elective courses. Although I consider myself an academic, I just like to study history. For others, even if I occasionally study some extra-curricular things, I never want to delve so deeply into the past. No wonder, everyone said that Wenclaw is a research madman. But Shaklin is a Slytherin, and she loves research so much, she really deserves to be the second best student in the grade."

"Why don't you say that I got the first place in the grade?" Sirius pretended to be dissatisfied.

"That's different. You are following the practice route. After all, we are only 12 years old, but they have thought so much and so far. As for me, I didn’t have any great pursuits since I was a child. My family is very ordinary, and I am also very ordinary. I never thought that I could do great things. When I read it, you, my peers, have already moved so far. Apart from being able to study hard, I actually have no special talent at all. I actually felt it before, but today it just feels stronger. Am I procrastinating? Your hind legs..."

"That's what you're thinking?" Sirius was very surprised. "Actually, I'm the same as you. I didn't think so far. However, I never think there is anything wrong with being ordinary. In this world, most of them are ordinary people." If there are no ordinary people, how can there be so-called elites, just like how can there be rich people without poor people, these are all relative. No matter how ordinary people are, they also have their own dreams. Maybe their dreams sound small, It’s not as ambitious as Xia Kelin’s and the others’ visions, but it’s these small dreams that make up our colorful life...” Sirius lowered his voice, because he suddenly remembered his childhood friend Andy, and What he never had a chance to achieve was his dream of becoming an NBA player.

"Sirius?" Seeing Sirius' sudden loss, Lynn called out a little uneasily.

Sirius came back to his senses, smiled at Lynn and said, "Besides, you are not ordinary. You don't just study hard. You read a lot of books, but you are also good at thinking. You don't just copy books and copy what others say. Who said that your ideal of becoming a historian is not great? Besides, if you didn't tell me some historical stories and your thoughts from time to time, I might fail in the history of magic this time..."

Sirius has always been uninhibited and sharp, and Lynn suddenly felt very uncomfortable with him who praised him gently, so much so that she froze for a moment.But it's just for a while.

"Don't tease me, with your brain, you can memorize everything after reading the history of magic, and you can still use me?" Lynn said in a veiled manner, "But your theory of relativity about mortals is quite novel. There are too many people in this world who are obsessed with the law of the jungle, but I have always believed that the reason why human beings are different from animals is that apart from the law of the jungle, human beings have their own humanity."

"The law of the jungle? What's that?" Sirius immediately discovered a new term.

"That's the theory of Muggles. To put it simply, there are sixteen words: natural selection, survival of the fittest, survival of the fittest, and survival of the fittest. This theory was originally used to describe animals, but some people directly apply it In human society, for example, Hitler. In their view, the weak should be wiped out or enslaved by the strong." Lynn explained.

"It sounds quite similar to the claims of the mysterious person who rose up recently. But I think it's just a statement used by the so-called strong and the weak who are willing to be bullied."

"To be honest, I think so too. Unfortunately, not everyone has the same opinion as you and me."

Having said that, both of them fell silent.

After a while, Lynn tried to change the topic to something less heavy. She said, "By the way, Sirius, I haven't actually thanked you very much. Originally, my original intention of joining the research team was to have some impact on the production of bloodline trackers." However, until now, I have really learned a lot here and made friends. And all of this is because of you, so I am really, really grateful to you."

"What's the matter, it's just a matter of little effort." Sirius said politely, but suddenly remembered something, "Speaking of which, if you really want to thank me, I really have one thing to ask you."

"Please? What is it?" Lynn felt that if it was something that Sirius couldn't handle, he probably couldn't handle it even more.

Sirius frowned, hesitated for a while, and finally asked, "How much do you know about that mysterious man in Slytherin House?"

"He...he seems to have appeared in the newspapers recently, publishing some articles against Muggle-born wizards and inciting violence." Lynn didn't have a good impression of this person at all.

"Yeah, he's been in the limelight recently in the Slytherin pure-blood family, and they call him the leader of the pure-blood movement." Sirius said disdainfully, "This man is very unfriendly to Muggle-born wizards, A few years ago, he also claimed responsibility for the murder of the former Muggle-born Minister of Magic Nobby Rich. This incident was first reported by the Daily Prophet, but it was later claimed by the Ministry of Magic as a rumor for unknown reasons. But in Slytherin, it's always been celebrated as the feat of Lord Voldemort."

"Voldemort?" This time it was Lynn's turn to hear the new term.

"Yes, it is said that this mysterious man calls himself Voldemort, but I don't think this is his real name. There are also legends that he is the heir of Slytherin."

Lynn's eyes widened in astonishment, and his mouth froze: "S... Slytherin's... heir?!"

"Yeah, that's how he introduced himself, but no one knows whether it's true or not, but he can speak snake language, so it's probably true."

"Snake language..." Lin En's face turned even paler, and it took him a long time to recover, "So... what do you want to ask me to do?"

Sirius took a deep breath, and said with some confusion: "Actually, I didn't want to trouble you. In terms of status, Xia Kelin is more suitable than you. But sometimes, I can't figure out Xia Kelin's thoughts very well. Sometimes she behaves He is very sympathetic, and sometimes over-maintains the so-called pure blood glory..."

Lynn tilted his head and thought: "Xia Kelin is more suitable than me in terms of status? Could it be about your family?"

"Well, it's my younger brother, his name is Regulus, he's one year younger than me, he's going to enter school this year, I know, he will definitely enter Slytherin, I'm worried..."

"Slytherin is not as scary as you imagined. Otherwise, how would Shaklin and I live? Your brother is now the heir of your family. Who would dare to provoke him?" Lynn asked a little incomprehensibly.

"No, you don't understand," Sirius explained with some headaches, "Slytherin is more dangerous to him than to you. It's not a danger in person, but in thought. Although you are in Slytherin , but I think you are very clear-headed, but Rael... he was actually a very kind child, but under the education of my parents, he also thinks that Muggles and Muggle-borns are despicable and not worthy of sympathy Yes, he... he has a special admiration for Voldemort. When he arrives in Slytherin, surrounded by people like that, I am really worried that he will go further and further down the crooked road... I hope you can help me see Look at him a little... I know, it’s actually a bit difficult for you, but I can’t find anyone else. Regulus doesn’t seem to like Shaklin that much since he was a child, and I’m not sure what Shaklin’s attitude is. ..." Sirius looked at Lynn with a look of embarrassment.

"Siris, you are a good brother. Don't worry, I will try my best to help you look after him." Lynn solemnly assured Sirius.

"Thank you, this favor is much more difficult than recommending you to join a research meeting."

"It's difficult, it means you think highly of me." Lynn replied with a smile.

Sirius looked at Lynn, and suddenly felt that the girl's smile was very special.He has seen many beauties, his cousin Narcissa, Lily Evans, and Lynn's roommate Avril Rozier, all of them are very beautiful girls.Lynn's appearance is actually quite ordinary, the kind you can't find in the crowd, but Lynn's smile is the most comfortable for him among the girls he has ever seen.It's not the kind of Gryffindor girl's hearty laugh, nor the coquettish laugh or cold sneer of Slytherin girls. Lynn's smile is very light, but with a calm and breezy smile, Quite an intellectual taste.In fact, Xia Kelin's smile is mostly like this, but he can't explain why, and he always feels that the smiles of the two are still different.Perhaps, Xia Kelin always puts on the airs of a lady, while Lin En has an extra kindness of the little sister next door.

Sirius was thinking about it when he suddenly heard Lynn say, "I almost passed by while talking, my house is here. Thank you for seeing me off."

Sirius looked at the two-storey house that Lynn was pointing at. In a window, the hostess was busy in the kitchen...

Seeing Sirius looking eagerly at him, Lynn said, "Why don't you go up and sit down?"

But Sirius shook his head: "Forget it, it's not appropriate for me to visit so rashly. After all, I'm a wizard and I don't understand Muggle etiquette. I'm afraid that I will show up suddenly and scare your parents. Besides, if your mother's meal has already It's almost ready, tell me, will they keep me for dinner or not?"

Lynn thought about it and said, "You're right, then... let's talk about it later."

Sirius nodded, although he couldn't say it himself, he was still a little depressed.

"Then, see you at the beginning of school."

"See you at the beginning of school." Sirius said softly.

*********

"Slytherin!" The Sorting Hat loudly announced the result of Regulus's sorting with almost no hesitation. Sirius sighed deeply after hearing the words: That's right.

He glanced at Lynn on the long Slytherin table, saw that Lynn was also looking at him, and nodded slightly at him.The uneasiness in Sirius' heart subsided a little.He turned around and saw that James next to him was inquiring about this year's Quidditch player trials with this year's fifth-grade Gryffindor Quidditch keeper and the new captain Storji Podmore.

"Holden, Joey, and Beaman have all graduated. Now, the team has three vacancies. Do you think I should apply for the Chaser or the Seeker?" James asked.

"It doesn't matter which position you apply for. Anyway, with your skills, any position is the rhythm of killing other applicants in seconds. Participating in the trials is just a formality. In the end, your position will be determined according to the situation of other players. If there are many If you're a good Seeker, then you're a Chaser and vice versa," Sturgis said.

"Then I've become a patchworker?" James said gloomily.

"Those who can do more work, James." Remus patted James on the shoulder and said.

"Which position do you want to apply for, Sirius?" James asked.

"Maybe it's the batter." Sirius said a little worriedly.

"But why do I think you've always been more interested in Seekers?" James said.

"Oh, don't mention it," Sirius sighed, "The most important thing for a Seeker is speed and eyesight, but you see, I don't even have my own broom, and I use the school's broken broom, how can I win against other teams?" Seeker?"

"Don't you have Nimbus 1000 at home? Why didn't you bring it?" James asked puzzled.

Sirius' complexion became even worse: "It's not like you don't know how unpopular I am with my family now, do you think they will let me take away Nimbus 1000?"

As soon as Sirius finished speaking, James slapped his thigh: "Oh, why didn't you say it earlier, you also know what my mother does. My family has brooms that were eliminated by the team, and there are all kinds of brooms. I’ll bring you one if I know it. But it’s okay, it’s still too late for my mother to send me a letter when I write home.”

"But James, I plan to select tomorrow afternoon, so I can catch up early." Sturgis interjected.

"How can that work!" James yelled, "The Sirius weapon hasn't arrived yet, he can't be selected, so I won't join the team either."

Sturgi looked at James with a tangled face, and roared in his heart: James, you are relying on the fact that I can't bear to part with your trump card!So crazy, so crazy!But he had to follow James' wishes!You know, Holden, their Gryffindor Quidditch captain, had already coveted James' skills last year. If it wasn't for the fact that first-years were not allowed to participate in the selection, James would have been an official player last year.

Sturgis also vividly remembered that in the last Quidditch match last year, both the Gryffindor Seeker and the substitute Seeker were knocked off the broomstick by the Slytherin Batter.At that time, Holden originally wanted to call James to play, but Slytherin's captain refused to agree. As a result, Gryffindor lost to Slytherin by [-] points in that game.

James didn't care about Sturgis' entanglement at all, what James cared about was Sirius' entanglement, and he knew Sirius was thinking about something when he saw Sirius's appearance.

"I said Sirius, you can't be polite to me about this." James said before Sirius said, "This is not about you alone, it is about the entire team. If you I can’t be selected, it’s so boring for me to join the team alone. If you really feel sorry, it’s a big deal that I won’t give you Christmas and birthday presents in the past few years at Hogwarts. If you still don’t agree, don’t blame me for turning my face ah……"

"I said Sirius, you really don't need to be polite to James about this matter." Sturgis chimed in, "Aunt Euphemia likes to buy retired second-hand brooms from her team for collection. It's something everyone in the valley knows, really, that broom collects dust at James' house, so I might as well give it to you."

Sirius watched James and Sturgis sing together, and a warm current flowed through his heart.Lynn is right, what God takes away from you will always give you something as compensation.Even if he didn't get the kind of family affection he wanted, at least he had James' friendship.

If it had been someone else, he still might not have accepted such an expensive gift as a broomstick, but it was James, the man he considered a brother.Because it was James, he was willing to give up those unnecessary self-esteem, and because it was James, he didn't want to live up to that kindness.

In this way, three days later in the afternoon, Sirius took his weapon Nimbus 1000, and James hurried to the Quidditch pitch, but it turned out that not only Gryffindor students gathered there.
