[Comprehensive HP colleagues] That year

Lynn didn't know how long she and Sirius had been blowing the cold wind on the top of the north tower. Anyway, she kept looking at her toes and didn't dare to look at Sirius at all.She was afraid, afraid of seeing that disappointed look in Sirius' eyes.

"You..." Sirius spoke first, but Lynn was no longer silent. "I know how you think of me now, and how disappointed you are with me." She still didn't dare to look up, "I don't need you to say me, yes, I'm just a coward. Before, I dared to say that I was willing to die for justice. Come forward, in fact, when something happened, I just shrank my head. I was afraid of being retaliated, so I dared not tell the truth. Fortunately, I used to think that I was different from them, but in fact, I had already saved them wisely. It's etched in my bones. Sirius, I know, I don't deserve to be your friend."

After Lynn finished speaking, he turned around and wanted to leave, but Sirius grabbed him and hugged him into his arms.

It was the first embrace between Lynn Bruce and Sirius Black.

The moment he touched Sirius' warm chest, Lynn felt his whole body relax, and the tears that he had suppressed earlier flowed out.She was never a strong person, never was.She leaned on Sirius' shoulder and choked and shouted: "Why, Sirius, tell me why, the college established by the 'dark wizard' Slytherin will become like this now. I don't understand, I always want to I don’t understand! Those people, how could they have such a dark heart? Besides using black magic to do evil, what else would they do? How dare they say that they are students of Slytherin, how do they deserve it?! How do they deserve it?!”

Sirius hugged Lynn silently.This is the second time he saw her cry, the first time was last summer vacation.He should blame her for not telling the truth, but for some reason, he just couldn't blame her.At this moment, he suddenly felt that he and Lynn were very similar. They were not as full of sense of justice as he thought. They had their own selfishness and their helplessness, but who in this world was selfless? ?

I don't know how long it took before the excited Lynn finally calmed down. She put her head off Sirius' shoulder and said mockingly, "I'm sorry, I lost my temper. I...I'll go back first."

Sirius grabbed Lynn who was about to turn around, forced her to look at him, and said seriously: "Lyn, I don't blame you, really, I understand your situation in Slytherin. If you say Come out, maybe you will be the next one to have an accident. I am sorry that what happened to Primlow, but I am more worried that you will become like him, do you understand?"

Lynn stared blankly at Sirius, her face gradually turned red, and she murmured, "Sirius, you are so embarrassing to me. I said that to you during last year's vacation, but now, I..."

"Okay, Lynn, it's over, these things are over." Sirius interrupted her, "Let's stop fighting, shall we?"

"Okay." Lynn nodded vigorously, "Sirius, do you know? It's only now that I realize how much I need you."

Later, in sixth grade, Lynn told Lily the reason for her estrangement from Sirius.

Lynn said: "... That's why I distanced myself from Sirius later on. But after what happened with Primlow later, I realized that we were actually doing the same thing? We were all covering up the murderer. At least he is covering up his relatives, but who am I covering up?"

Lily looked at Lynn, speechless for a long time.

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

At the moment when Lynn and Sirius reconciled, Dumbledore was also in the Pensieve and saw the whole process of this incident.

In that dark corridor...

"Ten points for Slytherin, because you cast magic in the corridor." Primlow, who still had no scar on his head, said to the Slytherin boy in front of him.

"I didn't do it on purpose. I dropped my ink bottle just now, and the ink was all on the floor. I just wanted to clean them up." Snape said sullenly.

"Oh, did you? The one you just cast doesn't look like it's been cleaned up. Give me your wand, I'd like to see what spell you just cast." Primlow raised his wand to Snape's. Wand cast a spell, and at this moment, there were two identical "fainted" sounds from behind him.

Primlo fell down.

"You really don't want to participate?" Mulciber stepped forward and asked while watching Snape forget about Primrose, "Why have you been as timid as a quail recently? I am the one who is responsible for McDonald's matter, and I am the one who has left a record, and I am not afraid, so what are you afraid of?"

"I'm not afraid, but judging the situation. Now that Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall are watching us so closely, I don't know what you think if you want to commit crimes at this time, or attack the faculty and staff. "

"Okay, don't try to persuade him. He would have said yes. In my opinion, he was tied up by that Gryffindor chick." Avery said grimly.

"I broke up with Evans a long time ago, and this matter has nothing to do with her." Snape said indifferently, "Okay, I will help you bring Primlow down at your request, and the rest, you What I want to do has nothing to do with me." After speaking, he walked away with big strides.

"Is he still connected to that Gryffindor Mudblood?" Mulciber asked, frowning as he watched Snape's back.

"I saw him and Evans step into a classroom with my own eyes." Avery's face was extremely gloomy.

"You didn't go up to question him at that time?"

"Who is he, Severus? Slughorn's favorite, a genius in potions and the dark arts, I ran out to provoke him single-handedly when my mind was squeezed. Besides, that Evans is not cheap lamp."

"Speaking of this Evans, I don't get angry at all. She is the most arrogant of all the Mudbloods in the school." Mulciber said angrily, "She even pretended to be a prefect. Dumbledore is really blind. It's a pity that Potter and the others are always hanging around her, and she is also very tough, I want to tear her mouth apart when I see her arrogant look."

"Okay, let's not talk about her, let's cook this one first." Avery walked towards Primlo who was lying on the ground.

"Are you coming first, or am I?" he asked Mulciber.

"I'll come first." Mulciber said eagerly, he raised his wand, smiled and said the spell "Soul Imprint", a small cluster of green will-o'-the-wisps appeared from the tip of the wand, and Mulciber's face was here Under the illumination of the will-o'-the-wisp, it appeared slightly distorted.The will-o'-the-wisp flew towards Plinlo's forehead, and with the swing of Mulciber's wand, four purple-black letters were carved on Plinlo's forehead: MUDB.

Then there's Avery, but he's just finished carving an "L" when a loud "Expelling Arms" mingles with anger, but Avery grabs his wand just in time to keep it from flying away.

Dumbledore followed the gazes of Avery and Mulciber and saw Lynn Bruce holding his wand high.Her whole body was trembling, as if she couldn't believe what she saw.

"What are you doing, Bruce?" Mulciber demanded angrily.

"What are you asking me for? I should be asking what you're doing! That's black magic! You're using it on administrators?!"

"Of course it's black magic, we don't use black magic yet." Mulciber said naturally.

Lynn shook his head: "You are really crazy, you can use such cruel black magic! Do you still have right, wrong, good and evil in your heart?"

"Right and wrong?" Avery and Mulciber looked at Lynn and suddenly burst into laughter.And Lin En was laughed at by them, the angry expression gradually disappeared, and she began to back away calmly.

"You want to escape? It's not that easy!" Avery easily blocked her way.

"Let me go, I know I can't beat you, and I won't say anything." Lynn said wearily.

"But we don't trust you." Mulciber jerked his wand against her neck.

"Don't be so rude to girls." Avery reached out and pushed Mulciber's wand away, and said to Lynn with a smirk: "Don't worry, you are a Slytherin, we will naturally treat you leniently. But you have seen this scene, we really can't believe that you will keep your mouth shut. Unless, you become one of us."

"What do you mean?" Lynn's voice trembled a little.

"You see, we are experimenting with spells on this mudblood, and we can teach you the spell, and you can complete the remaining letters."

"Impossible! . . . I . . . I mean, that's black magic, and my black magic sucks. I can't do it . . . "

"If you can't do it, you have to do it!" said Mulciber viciously.

Avery pretended to roll his eyes at Mulciber, and turned his head to comfort Lynn hypocritically: "It's okay, it's just that you need to practice more because you're bad. You're a Slytherin, and you don't even know how to do such simple black arts. How embarrassing it would be to say that. Listen carefully, the spell is 'soul engraving', and while you recite the spell, you're thinking about how nasty those mudbloods are, and then you just carve the rest of the letters."

"You just forget about me, I can't do it!"

"No, you have to!" Mulciber pressed his wand to her neck again.

Trembling, Lynn stepped forward and aimed his wand at Prinlo's forehead. "Soul imprint!" she yelled.

But only a few sparks popped out of the tip of her wand, but otherwise it was useless.

"I said, I can't do it..." She suddenly shouted loudly and broke down, as if she wanted to use this to attract the attention of the surrounding teachers and students.

But how could Avery and Mulciber give her this chance? "Are you looking for death? Don't shout!" Avery showed a fierce look, "Since you are so weak, we won't force you anymore." Before Lynn could react, she was hit by a "spirit out of her body" up.

"Raise your wand... What you are seeing is a heinous Mudblood, and you will teach him a lesson... Raise your wand and say to me, 'Soul Seal'."

"Soul engraving." Lynn repeated obediently and mechanically.

"Yes, that's it, now, aim your wand at the man, repeat the spell, and carve the rest of the letters."

There was no expression in Lynn's empty eyes. She aimed at Prinlo and yelled a spell. The wand she held high twirled in the air, and a purple-black letter "O" appeared on Prinlo's forehead. .

But when the second "O" was engraved, Lynn's movements stopped, and her hands were shaking slightly.

"Continue...continue...Prinlo is our enemy, you have to finish engraving that word..."

"Hurry up, what are you waiting for?"

"Quick!"

The wand in Lynn's hand was spinning again, but this time, it was very slow, very slow.

"Hurry up, hurry up."

"No!!!" Lynn yelled, and the word "O" changed shape during her yell.She finally regained her sanity, sat on the ground panting, and looked at her hands in disbelief.

At this moment, there were hurried footsteps on the stairs. Avery's expression darkened, and he hurriedly dragged Mulciber into a secret passage.

But Lin En dodged it, and when he tried to cast the second spell, it was too late, and those people had already arrived.They had to leave the scene first.With one last glance, Dumbledore followed Mulciber's line of sight and saw Lynn throwing himself on Primlow and casting the Hemostatic Curse, and then, the memory came to an abrupt end.

Dumbledore came out of the Pensieve with a long sigh.

The author has something to say: Lynn is not Gryffindor after all, and "brave" is not in her nature.She could rush forward to save people on impulse, but when she had time to think through the consequences, she shrank back.Bravery is not recklessness, but the willingness to face danger after careful consideration.Lin En doesn't have this kind of responsibility yet, and she needs another thing to stimulate her.

The next chapter was supposed to be Snape's most painful memory.
