[Comprehensive HP colleagues] That year

"You eavesdropped on our conversation?!" Xia Kelin's hand was held by Sirius, and her tone couldn't help being even more angry.

"Yes, I eavesdropped," Sirius said slowly, "but I really wish I hadn't. Honestly, Shakleen, I'm sorry. You're my cousin, we grew up together. I I used to think that no one should know me better than you. But the result is that even Lynn knows what I want from the bottom of my heart, but you want me to be put back in that cage. Do you think I want to break with my family? Of course I I don’t want to! But how many times I’ve tried to persuade them, they are simply obstinate. You made me agree with their ridiculous set against my will, I’m sorry, forgive me for not being able to do it!”

"I didn't say you have to agree with pure blood! If you heard me just now, you should know that I want you to take a neutral path. I don't want you to become cannon fodder in the political struggle between Dumbledore and the Dark Lord !" Xia Kelin tried hard to suppress the anger in her chest.

"What political struggle? I have already said in front of the whole school, don't use the gray concept of 'political struggle' to confuse the black and white boundaries! Principal Dumbledore has been nominated as the Minister of Magic many times and he doesn't do it, I don't know Why do you think that he fought against that Voldemort for political gain! Even if the headmaster really has impure motives? At least he won’t kill innocent people indiscriminately! If Voldemort and the Death Eaters can be eliminated, I would rather be cannon fodder! And what you said about taking the academic route, don’t say that I don’t want to protect my life wisely in order to avoid disaster. I suspect that one day it may really be a huge success, but not now, not this small group of less than twenty people! Hogwarts has stood for thousands of years to have the reputation it has today, do you really think that it is only because of how many of us One student can make it grow into an academic ivory tower that can not be influenced by black and white in just a few years? And the so-called prophecy, if you do so much, you can't prevent the prophecy from coming true, How can you decide this time? Maybe it is because of what you did that the prophecy came true. I tell you clearly and clearly, I, Sirius Black, am not afraid of prophecy, and I will not be bound by it My ideals stop me from moving forward. If you were not my cousin, I wouldn't tell you these things. If you still want to persuade me after talking so much, then I don't think we have much friendship to talk about. "

"Haha, haha," Xia Kelin laughed nervously, "Sirius, I was meddling in my own business, and I was treated like a donkey with good intentions. I will never care about you again! If you want to die yourself, who can stop you?" Live? It’s just that you don’t want to bring Evans and Bruce to Avalon anymore. Avalon doesn’t welcome people like you who have already decided on your political stance! I hope that when you are really in prison in the future, you won’t I regret the decision you made today!"

Xia Kelin strode away, and the sound of black leather boots clanging on the ground gradually faded away.Sirius stood where he was, holding Lynn's hand tightly, and Lynn just stood there quietly with her, without saying a word.

So far, Lynn has no friends in Slytherin at all.Since Xia Kelin broke up with her, those friends who were still close to her in the past were also afraid of the power of the Black family, and did not dare to show any degree of intimacy with Lynn.Avril, simply treat her as air.

No, it can't be said to be all of them. There is also a Slytherin. Although he dared not comfort Lynn publicly, he expressed support for Lynn in private.

This person is Barty Crouch Jr.

Speaking of it, Lynn himself felt incredible. She just helped little Barty once, and he has trusted him since then.Not only invited her to the Christmas ball, but also told her about "Dark Wings" without hesitation.In fact, when Batty Jr. entered Slytherin, Xia Kelin was the first one to express kindness to him, but Lynn had never seen Batty Jr. being close to Xia Kelin.In the past, Lin En thought that Barty Jr. and Xia Kelin's friendship was just because he didn't see it, but now that Xia Kelin publicly expressed her dissatisfaction with her, Barty Jr. was still willing to support her behind her back. I used to feel ashamed of using him.

Of course, Lynn didn't think about it. Maybe Barty also had his own purpose for approaching her. After all, he was too close to Sirius and the others. It's not surprising that someone wanted to find out about Gryffindor through her, but Lin En just had a small precaution in her heart, she still prefers to believe that little Barty really regards herself as a friend.

As the son of Big Barty Crouch, who hates dark wizards, Little Barty's situation in Slytherin is undoubtedly embarrassing.Lynn often secretly thought that he joined the "Dark Wings" on the surface to integrate into Slytherin, but the real reason might be because he wanted to help his father collect inside information about the family members of these future Death Eaters.But Lin En just dared to think about it, and didn't dare to ask Little Barty for confirmation.Little Barty is not Sirius and the others, and Lynn can't trust him wholeheartedly.Now the situation outside is becoming more severe day by day. The Death Eaters commit crimes without any scruples. The Aurors of the Ministry of Magic are exhausted, but they still lose more than they win, and there are more sacrifices. The number of Auror teams is growing faster than ever. reduce.In the school, "Dark Wings" also commit crimes from time to time, and they are repeatedly banned.Although it won't hurt people's lives, it still puts everyone in danger.

Days passed like this, and the Gryffindor voluntary patrol team headed by James gradually became famous in the school.In the foursome of Gryffindor, Peter was born as a Muggle, and his combat skills were not high. James didn't dare to let Peter do patrol alone. Sirius and Remus had more courses and relatively less free time. Therefore, James has logically become the well-deserved main force of the volunteer patrol team.In the more than three months since the sixth grade started, more than ten Muggle-born students from various colleges were rescued by the voluntary patrols, and James himself rescued almost half of them.This allowed James to quickly transform himself into a Gryffindor hero from the previous image of a playboy who "doesn't eat the sufferings of the world and only makes fun of his classmates".Gradually, among the students, there were rumors that Potter would break the rules and become the next male student president.

Hogwarts does not know when the prefect system began to appear. From the fifth grade, each house will elect two prefects, one male and one female. grade.By the seventh grade, all seventh grade students have the opportunity to be elected as the president of the Boys and Girls Student Union. Everyone signs up independently, the professors vote, and the principal makes the decision, but most of the presidents come from the prefects.Generally speaking, seventh-grade students are busy preparing for the NEWTS exam and looking for a job, so unless they become the president of the student union, the seventh-grade prefects are generally not in charge.There is also an unwritten rule in the student union chairman system, that is, the chairman will not come out of the same college for two terms. For example, if the male student union chairman this year is from Ravenclaw, then next year maybe Ravenclaw will come out. A female chairperson, but no more male chairperson.Of course, this rule is not dead, and if a seventh-grade student has made outstanding contributions to the school or has great prestige before the election, the school will not follow the old rules so rigidly.As far as Lynn knows, the last time this unwritten rule was broken was by a Slytherin student named Tom Riddle some 30 years ago.

This year's male student president is Gryffindor's Longbottom, and under such circumstances, everyone still thinks that James will become the next male student president, which shows his prestige among students other than Slytherin College .

James began to mature, and the one who reacted the most was Lily.

someday.

"You really agreed to go to Hogsmeade with James?" Lynn looked at Lily in surprise and asked, Lily nodded.

"But didn't you say that James would not be allowed to chase you again within half a year?"

"Yeah, but I...I've been thinking about something lately." Lily said while filling the freshly brewed euphoria potion into a glass medicine bottle.

"What do you want to understand?"

"That day, Alison and I went back to the dormitory from the library and saw that James had saved a first-year hemp girl from... from Snape and Avery, and we helped him send the girl to The school hospital. That girl has been pestering James since then, wanting James to comfort her, and also said that she wants to make a promise to James."

"Pop..." Lin En was drinking water, and spit it out in one gulp, almost spraying it into the crucible with half of the pot of euphoria left.

Lily gave her a slightly annoyed look, and then continued: "I know, it's just a child's joke, but I still can't help feeling a little uncomfortable in my heart. Alison said, I was jealous. "

Lynn stared at Lily's eyes even wider.

Lily scratched her fiery red hair anxiously and said, "I've never felt that way before. When I was with Snape before, all I thought about every day, apart from potions, was to make him more cheerful, less Deal with people like Mulciber, and get to know a few friends who are really good. If other girls are willing to get close to him and make him more cheerful, I will only be happier. That's why I always pull You are with us. But now I find that I can't be so 'magnanimous' to James, and I don't want other girls to be too close to him. So I think, I may really like him. Mary and Alison said that if you really like someone, you will have the desire to "exclusively" him. So I think I should give James and me a chance to try. So that day, he came privately and said He wanted to invite me as a friend, so I agreed. But I asked James not to tell others about it. But he said that other people don't care, and he doesn't want to keep Sirius from it. I think Sirius already knows , It’s okay to tell you, but you must never tell anyone else. Speaking of which, the relationship between James and Sirius is really close and makes people jealous. If Sirius had you by his side, I’m afraid even Sirius I'm going to eat Reese's vinegar..."

Lynn was flabbergasted.

Speaking of Sirius, on the third day of November, Sirius’ 17th birthday, accompanied by Lynn, he submitted an application to Professor Dumbledore to join the Order of the Phoenix. At the same time, Lynn also expressed to the principal that I also want to join the determination.

After handing in the application form, Principal Dumbledore left Lynn alone.

Principal Dumbledore sat behind the desk, poured Lynn a glass of lemonade, and then spoke slowly.

"Miss Bruce, a year ago, you came here to find me to resign from me as a Slytherin prefect. I remember you told me at that time that you had no real power in Slytherin house, and being a prefect would not You can't control at least the senior students, and you don't want to take such great risks and responsibilities. When Mr. Primlow was attacked that time, you refused to tell the truth for fear of revenge. But now, you propose to me Willing to join the Order of the Phoenix. I want to know why you want to join. You know, being a member of the Order of the Phoenix is ​​a hundred times more dangerous than being a prefect."

Lynn lowered his head and said, "I think you may know, principal, that just last summer, my parents were killed by Death Eaters."

"So, you want to join in order to avenge them?"

"There are reasons for this, but not all of them."

"Oh, then I'd like to hear more, what's the part that isn't?"

Lynn thought for a while, organized his words in his mind, and then said: "I am a student of Slytherin, I think you may know that no student in any college knows how to assess the situation and protect oneself wisely than the students of Slytherin. In the past, I always thought that no matter how fierce the chaos outside was, my parents were not in the wizarding world, and the chance of being approached by Death Eaters was very small, and I was a student of Slytherin, and most of the Death Eaters were from my same school. My classmate's father, they probably wouldn't target me. But I was wrong. The tragedy of this summer vacation made me realize how wrong I was. The more you think about luck, things will On the contrary, it will happen to you even more. At that time, if it wasn’t for James, Sirius and Lily, maybe I would have died, and Sirius was expelled from the family because I was seriously injured. In fact, that incident was aimed at I came here, and it has nothing to do with the three of them. If they also take prudence and safety as the principle of doing things like me, there is no need to risk their lives to save me. I am lucky to meet them, but I cannot guarantee that I will Always so lucky."

"When I was in Muggle primary school, I heard my teacher at that time say that there is such a passage in front of the Jewish Memorial in Boston: When the Nazis came to catch the communists, I kept silent because I was not a communist. Communists; when they come for Jews, I keep silent because I'm not a Jew; when they come for Trade Unionists, I keep silent because I'm not Trade Unionists; when they come for Catholics , I kept silent because I was a Protestant; when they came for me, there was no one to speak for me. At that time, this paragraph was just a paragraph to me, but now... this time Things, let me understand, if you are not willing to defend the life and freedom of others, how can you expect others to defend your life and freedom."

Lynn took a sip of honey water to take a breather, and then said word by word: "Instead of being the poor bastard with no one to speak for me in the end, I would rather be a defender of freedom who speaks for others."

Dumbledore was a little moved, but he asked again: "So have you thought about it? Joining the Order of the Phoenix may mean that you will become enemies with some of your former Slytherin classmates in the future."

Lynn closed her eyes, thinking of Marceline, Shaklin, Regulus and Snape, and even little Crouch. Then, she opened her eyes and said, "I know. But if They really choose to hurt innocent ordinary people as a means to achieve their goals in the future, so don't blame me for not caring about the friendship between classmates. They are cowards, the most criminals, everyone can punish them, and I also No exception."

Lynn stared at the principal with black and white eyes, while Dumbledore smiled slightly: "Miss Bruce, you are more mature and brave than I thought, I think you have won my respect and the right to enter the Order of the Phoenix. The day before graduation , come to my report with Mr. Black."

"Thank you, principal, thank you for your affirmation of me. Actually, I have one more thing I would like to ask for your help. Do you have time?"

"Speak." The headmaster said kindly.

"My magic aptitude and combat level are at best average, but I have learned the history of magic very well, so I feel that I am not suitable for fighting, but for behind-the-scenes work. In fact, not long after I came to Hogwarts , I hope to be a historian of the magical world in the future. In the current situation, I am afraid that it is not wise to do academic research as soon as I graduate, but I hope to use my expertise to really contribute to the Order of the Phoenix. Voldemort and Death Eaters The slogan for launching the war is blood cleansing. I hope that I can be a writer for the Order of the Phoenix, overthrowing his theory of blood lineage in words, and win a literary war for the Order of the Phoenix. To overthrow the theory of pure blood is just empty Lyrics are definitely not enough. We have to have evidence, and the evidence comes from history. Regarding this aspect, I have collected some information since the beginning of school, but it is far from enough. I don’t know, can I ask you to help me in your position Contact the most famous historian of contemporary magic, Ms. Bathilda Bagshot, I need her help. If possible, I would like to be her assistant without pay during the holidays."

"Lyn, I'm surprised that you have already thought about the nature of your future work in the Order of the Phoenix. I can fulfill your request, and I will contact Bathilda within a week."

"Thank you principal, thank you so much." Lin En didn't expect the principal to speak so easily.

"You're welcome, Lynn, you're doing this to make more contributions to the Order of the Phoenix. Why don't I fully support it?" the principal said with a smile.

Lin En noticed that the principal had changed from calling her by her surname to her first name, and felt a warm current in her heart.

"Okay, we've talked for a long time, I think Mr. Black must be waiting outside, you can go to him quickly, we still have time to talk later, the door of the principal's office will always be open for those who want to get help People are open."

Lynn said goodbye to the principal with a smile, walked out of the principal's office, saw Sirius' smiling face when he saw her coming out, walked up, took his hand and said, "Let's go, let's help James patrol."
