[Comprehensive HP colleagues] That year

In the evening, in the ward, Mr. Bruce was lying quietly on the bed. Lynn saw his father unconscious, and felt extremely distressed.His pale face reminded her of the car accident in which he almost lost his life trying to save her more than ten years ago.His father, just like his father in the previous life, has always protected her from wind and rain, but now...

Sirius bought a box of lunch with the Muggle currency left over from the previous grocery shopping, and handed it to Lynn.But Lynn didn't open the lunch box, but turned around and asked, "Siris, can you tell me now why your father was at the hospital door? Is he a Death Eater?"

"I don't know, I really don't know," Sirius said painfully, holding his head. "He does support Voldemort, but I've never heard that he wants to join the Death Eaters, and I don't know why he would join the Death Eaters." There."

"I will go to the Ministry of Magic and tell the Ministry of Magic that I saw your father at the door. Will you testify with me?" Lynn asked Sirius with burning eyes.

Sirius opened his eyes wide, feeling as uncomfortable as if filled with lead: "No, Lynn, you can't... He's at the door, but that doesn't mean he's related to this incident..."

"You told me that your parents were both pure-bloods. Would a man like that happen to end up in a Muggle hospital? Even if he wasn't a Death Eater, he definitely had something to do with it. Sirius, I just want Tell the Ministry what I saw, and if your father is innocent, the Ministry will let him go."

"But you should know that if the Ministry of Magic finds out about this, my father will go to jail!" Sirius yelled.

"If he was really involved in this bombing, shouldn't he go to jail?" Lynn insisted.

"Lynn, I...you...do you want me to send my biological father to prison with my own hands?" Sirius' voice trembled, and the pain contained in it made Lynn a little soft-hearted, but...

"Sirius, intellectually, I understand that it is indeed too cruel to ask you to kill your relatives and testify in person. But emotionally, I can't bear it. I can't bear my father lying here, seriously injured, and his career is ruined, but Those murderers can still get away with it. I will not force you to testify, but when I see you, I will think that your father is also one of the murderers who caused my father to be so miserable. I can no longer have sex with you without any grievances Friends. So, you leave now, I think it's better for us not to meet for the time being."

Sirius had never seen Lynn so indifferent to him, but he also knew that it was her limit that she didn't force him to report on his father.Fortunately, Lin En said "for the time being", which means that she didn't want to break up with her, she just wanted to be quiet by herself, and he would only irritate her more here.

He took a deep breath, and then said: "I'm sorry, Lynn, then... I'm leaving, take care, I... I will find a way to make it up to you."

Lynn didn't speak any more, and Sirius walked out of the ward.

Walking out of the hospital, he looked up at the setting sun, and then went home silently.

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

As soon as Sirius stepped into the house, he saw his parents and the pale Regulus. He followed Regulus' eyes and saw Dora's head bleeding on the floor.

He felt as though all the blood in his body had been frozen.

"It dared to disobey my order and let you go out. This is the fate it deserves." The mother's cold and angry voice came, and the mother was still teaching him with the most vicious words, but Sirius couldn't hear anything, and he Dora is all in her head, Dora was talking to him half a day ago, now she is dead, but how could she die... He killed her... The peach he promised her is still with Lynn...

"...If you keep humiliating yourself like this, don't blame me for removing you!" Walburga took a breath after scolding, Sirius looked up blankly, then his eyes darkened and he passed out.

When he woke up again, he found that he was in his bedroom, and the bedroom door was still locked.He was a little surprised that his parents didn't lock him into the reflection room this time. He lay back on the bed and stared blankly at the ceiling.

After an unknown amount of time, Kreacher appeared. He put down his food and was about to leave, but was stopped by Sirius.

Sirius sat up from the bed and asked, "Kreacher, where's Dora?"

"Dora is a bad elf. She didn't listen to her master. The master cut off its head, but it betrayed its master. Its head is not eligible to be hung on the chopping block. The master asked Kreacher to cut off its head and body." Burn." Kreacher said and left Sirius' room.

Sirius lay back down again, and continued to stare blankly at the ceiling, his mind was full of thoughts.

——If it burns well, instead of staying in this cold and dark mansion, it would be better to turn into flames, maybe you can get permanent freedom...

——I killed Dora, just like Andy was also killed by me...

——Back then, I hated Merifren to death, and I hated their covering up of the murderer, Merifren, but now, I also shielded a murderer...

——That was my father, when he was a child, he also held me on his lap and said to me, "My little Sirius is so smart"...

—Maybe he really just happened to pass by...

— Sirius, are you trying to lie to others or to yourself?

——In this home, what else is worthy of my nostalgia?

——But if I leave this home, where should I go...

In this way, Sirius spent the rest of the holiday in a daze.

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

Given Voldemort's open declaration of war on the Ministry of Magic, the wizarding world today is not at peace everywhere.Those parents of wizards born in Muggle families are in fear all day long, looking forward to the start of school every day: at least their children will not be in danger at Hogwarts.In the Muggle world, the vicious Muggle explosion that killed 58 people, seriously injured 76 and injured 16 slightly caused an uproar.Knowing the truth, the Muggle Prime Minister sternly demanded that the Minister of Magic hand over the murderer, which caused quite a diplomatic turmoil in the British magic circle.Minister of Magic Eugenia Jenkins resigned as a result, and Harold Mintham succeeded her as the new minister.

In school, the members of Avalon who started their fifth grade study life, and the other three members of the Gryffindor foursome inevitably soon discovered that there was something wrong between Lynn and Sirius.They no longer chat intimately. Every time they meet, they just nod and turn their heads politely and distantly. Unless there is a necessary discussion, the two of them don't talk at all. When asked what happened to them, neither of them would say anything.

This terrified James.In the dance in the fourth grade, Sirius invited Lynn first, which clearly showed that Sirius had already regarded Lynn as the most important woman around him.The slight ambiguity between the two of them also made James think that Sirius should like Lynn.He and Remus Peter also bet on when Sirius would confess his love to Lynn and when the two would go public with their relationship.Moreover, after becoming acquainted with Lynn, he always thought that Lynn was the best help for him to pursue Lily, and even imagined that Lily would hold his hand, and Lynn would hold Sirius' hand, and they would walk into the palace of marriage together dream.But after seeing each other for a holiday, why did these two people suddenly become like strangers?

Because of this incident, for the first time, James did not go to Lily for himself, and for the first time, Lily did not give James any shame, but said rather worriedly: "I don't know what happened to them, Lynn refused to tell , she just said: "Some things did happen between me and Sirius. I know that it was not his fault, and I also know his embarrassment, but knowing it is one thing, and accepting it without any grievances is another." .I can’t pretend that nothing happened. When I see Sirius, I will think of that incident. I can’t continue to be friends with him as if nothing happened.'”

Then James and Lily thought about it for a long time, but they didn't think they could figure out any particularly useful information from this passage.

Although he didn't draw any conclusions, Lily's rare gentleness towards him still made James happy for a long time, but when he returned to the dormitory and saw Sirius who looked like a melancholy boy, he immediately sank down again.

The fifth grade also means that it is possible to become a prefect.It was expected that Lily would become the female prefect of Gryffindor, but Remus' becoming the prefect was somewhat beyond the expectations of the other three in the group of four.After all, over the years, Remus has done many prohibited things with them.But well, Remus has a gentle personality and is good at regulating interpersonal relationships. His grades are also good, and he hasn't been caught doing those prohibited things. It's not particularly surprising to choose him.

The female prefect of Slytherin is Shaklin Black, which is what everyone expects, but there is a small mistake in the candidate for the female prefect on the first day of school. The prefect badge that should have been given to Shaklin was mistakenly issued to Lynn. Ann Bruce.Fortunately, Bruce went to the principal that night, and the mistake was corrected the next day.

Lynn has always been a peculiar existence in Slytherin.At the beginning of the first grade, no matter her appearance, family background or magical talent, her ordinaryness made her a little transparent one in Slytherin.Most of Slytherin's classmates were familiar with each other before going to school, and those who didn't know each other were generally classified as outsiders.Outsiders are already easy to be squeezed out, especially the current atmosphere in Slytherin is of the type of seeing the high and stepping down, so the new outsiders usually quickly find a backer for themselves, and Lynn's backer is his roommate Luo Avril, the eldest daughter of the Zier family.Because Lynn has a gentle personality and Marceline is kind to her, everyone gave Miss Rozier a little face, and no one bullied Lynn.

Lynn really caught everyone's attention when she joined a cross-school research group as a freshman.Of course, although there are very few cross-school research groups, it is not impossible, but the peculiarity of this group is that there are two Blacks here, one is Shaklyn Black, who is the best student among the freshmen in Slytherin, and the other is Sirius Black who betrayed Slytherin and entered Gryffindor, so everyone thought that Lynn Bruce had some means to climb up to the Black family.

Later, the team made another amazing move in the second grade, absorbing Lily Evans, a Gryffindor girl from a Muggle family.This news initially made the Slytherin students very dissatisfied with Xia Kelin, because everyone believed that Xia Kelin was the leader of the team and should be responsible for any decisions made by the team.But Shakeline Black's surname was there, and she gave everyone a reasonable enough explanation (our team is purely academic, regardless of college, and Evans was allowed to join because her grades were indeed good, and I also liked it. I want to take this opportunity to study how a Muggle-born witch could get such good grades), some senior students even thought that it was Shaklin who was training spies for Slytherin, so they didn't criticize Xia Kelin.But Lynn Bruce, who really allowed Lily to join, did not arouse any suspicion.

Later, even though Lynn became more and more familiar with Sirius and Lily because of this team renamed "Avalon", the students of Slytherin did not have any accusations against her, because everyone regarded Lynn as a Xia Kelin's follower, thinking that everything she did was because of Xia Kelin.The reason why Xia Kelin chose such a follower is probably because she thinks that she has a docile personality and is easier to handle.

So strangely, Lynn became the only Slytherin who made friends with the two Gryffindors, although in the eyes of other Slytherins, Lynn and them were just monitoring and being watched.And as one of the girls closest to the school girl Sirius, Lynn's ordinary appearance didn't make everyone think of a lover at all.It seems that everyone thinks that handsome men should love beautiful women. Sirius has a beautiful woman like Evans and a smart cousin like Xia Kelin by his side. How could he fall in love with his follower Lynn Bruce?Even Alison Goodman, Sirius' dance partner from last year, was better looking than Lynn.So Lynn was lucky enough to escape the fate of being rumored.

Therefore, the wrong distribution of the prefect's badge only caused a small discussion in Slytherin, and it was forgotten by everyone over time.

No one knows, and no one cares, what exactly Bruce said when he went to the principal's office that day.

Having said that, Sirius didn't expect Lynn to keep him cold for so long. He thought that they would be able to restore their friendship in ten days and a half months at most.But nearly two months have passed since the start of school, and there is still no sign from Lynn, which makes Sirius inexplicably anxious.He hated the restless feeling, very much.In order to alleviate this restlessness, he began to trouble Snape even more crazily than before, which made James, who had gradually realized that fighting Snape in front of Lily was of no benefit, quite want to vomit blood.What made him even more puzzled was that, for some reason, there was a popular activity in Hogwarts recently - try touching the Whomping Willow!

This activity...well, it's actually quite exciting and interesting in James' eyes, provided that the Whomping Willow wasn't planted because of Remus!What if someone actually happened to find the knot on that branch?

Facts have proved that James' concerns are actually very reasonable.

The author has something to say: the fifth grade is the death year for everyone who commits the second grade and Sirius.
