[Comprehensive HP colleagues] That year

After submitting the application form to join the Order of the Phoenix, Sirius has been thinking about a question: whether to invite Lynn to be the dance partner of the Christmas ball held by Slughorn.

I invited Lynn when I was in the fourth grade. If it wasn't for the news of "Dark Wings" from Crouch, Lynn had already been his dance partner once.But at that time, Sirius purely regarded Lynn as a friend, it was natural for him to invite, and it was natural for Lynn to accept.But since he was given an emotional education by James, he found that he was getting more and more confused about whether his relationship with Lynn was friendship or love.If the choice of a dance partner in the fourth grade does not necessarily mean "I am interested in you", in the sixth grade, even if you are not interesting, the other party will think that you are interesting.Under such circumstances, Sirius felt that he had to be cautious about inviting Lynn.

However, while Sirius was still hesitating, Slytherin's little Batty actually took the lead and extended an invitation to Lynn.

Lynn looked at the boy in front of him and felt quite shocked.Of course she knew that Barty Jr. invited him at this time, which was equivalent to making an enemy of the entire Slytherin. He didn't have the guardian necklace James gave him.The choice of a Christmas dance partner has a very strong romantic meaning, and little Barty is taking a huge risk to invite her, so no matter how low her EQ is, she understands that little Barty probably likes her.

Lynn didn't know how he fell in love with her.Except for the fact that she wanted to inquire about the news at the Christmas ball, the words she and Little Barty have spoken in the past few years are probably less than [-] words, and most of them are greetings.With so little talk, there is absolutely no understanding. If there is no understanding, what love is there?

She couldn't give Barty Jr. a false hope, especially if this hope would come at a great price.So she politely rejected him, saying that she already had a partner.

Little Barty looked particularly disappointed, lowered his head and asked, "Then can I know who is that lucky person?"

Lynn was silent, she was the first to think of Sirius, but she couldn't just pull him out.What if Sirius invited someone else, although Lynn thought it was unlikely.

"It's... Sirius Black?" Barty Jr. said eagerly.

Lynn blushed suddenly.

Seeing Lynn like this, little Barty thought she had acquiesced, so his expression became even darker.

He always remembered how he was rescued by Lynn from Peeves when he was in the second grade.And that time when Regulus insulted him, only Lynn stood up to defend himself.Although Shakeline Black was the first person in Slytherin to show kindness to him, she didn't take care of herself after that. Instead, she arranged Regulus, who hated him, as his roommate.What's more, Xia Kelin's identity is there, and her enthusiasm for him is just an attitude of kindness.Therefore, in his heart, Lynn was the only good person in Slytherin.

He has been watching her silently.She looks ordinary and inconspicuous, but she is neither humble nor overbearing in the Slytherin where the children of pure-blood families gather; he watched, she has gradually grown from an elegant and chrysanthemum girl to a strong person who dares to be the enemy of all Slytherins (Lin Lin) En: Keke, this is really a misunderstanding, it's all thanks to the necklace James gave me, I'm not strong at all); he watched, she slowly got closer and closer to Sirius Black, getting closer and closer close……

He is very unwilling.As a betrayer of the family, Blake can live a brilliant life, hugging girls from left to right, but he is making compromises in Slytherin, and even the girl he loves will be snatched away by him.But he couldn't stop it. He and Lynn usually had no conversation at all, and finally succeeded in inviting her to the Christmas ball, but she kept asking herself about "Dark Wings".He thought she wanted to join, and he could be an introducer, so that his and Lynn's lives could have more intersections.But after the dance, Lynn didn't intend to join the "Dark Wings" at all, and he treated himself with the same alienation and courtesy.

Now it seems that they have really become a couple.Little Barty felt that after hearing the news, it was as if hundreds of poisonous snakes named jealousy were biting his heart.But he also knew that he couldn't compete with Black, who was brilliant in every way.If Lynn wants to fall in love with him, he has to make himself stronger, stronger than Blake. At that time, Lynn will find that he is good, and Lynn will be his own.

But right now, he's not eligible.

"I understand, then please tell Black for me, he is really lucky." After finishing speaking, he retreated sadly.

Lynn looked at the leaving figure of Little Barty, with mixed feelings in his heart.First Lily, then Xia Kelin, and now little Barty, it seems that many people think that she and Sirius are a couple.

But only she and Sirius knew clearly that they were just friends.

Her current feelings for Sirius, just like what she said to Lily, may be more dependent on each other.They understand each other and cherish each other, but she is still not sure, is that love?The word love is too deep and illusory. Once touched, it can never be taken back. She dare not draw conclusions so easily.

What's more, Sirius never said love to her.

Just a few months ago, Sirius broke up with his ex-girlfriend, and when she and Xia Kelin said that she and Sirius were just friends, Sirius did not object.She sometimes felt that Sirius had vague feelings for her, but she was always afraid to be sure.Now, they were such good friends, if Sirius had never had any romantic thoughts about himself, wouldn't it be embarrassing to say so?She believed that even if she said it, she and Sirius would still be friends, but friendship would always be affected.

Today's Lynn doesn't know what will happen to her rejection of Batty today.No one knows what kind of determination little Barty made at that time, and what he said to his father after returning home.People only know that a few years later, someone was thrown into Azkaban by the old Crouch without getting a trial, and Barty Jr. also became an important member of Voldemort's command.

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

It was three days before the Yule Ball, and Sirius and Lynn were still single.This state made James anxious for him even looking at Sirius.This guy used to be right and wrong when he laughed at him, but it's really his turn, how did he get into this way!

Finally James could bear it no longer.He had invited Lily a long time ago, and Lily had already agreed, but two days ago, she suddenly came to him and said that if Sirius didn't invite Lynn again, she would dump him and invite Lynn, anyway, Slughorn It is not stipulated that the person invited must be of the opposite sex.When Lily made such a statement, James couldn't calm down at all.Sirius, it's fine for you to make trouble on your own, but you can't hurt your buddy!

"Sirius, what are you hesitating about? Lily told me that Lynn hasn't had a dance partner yet, and she's obviously waiting for you to invite her."

"Oh." Sirius sighed.He is also tangled in his heart, he has been tangled for almost a month.This is in response to the classic line of the Muggle writer Shakespeare: To invite or not to invite, that is a question.

The matter is related to the happiness of himself and Lily, and James must not let Sirius get entangled.He took Sirius to Hogsmeade.Lily said that she would accompany Lynn to buy a dress today.

Today is Hogsmeade Day, but there are not many students on the streets of Hogsmeade, and even if there are, they are basically pure blood.Recently, Death Eaters have attacked several wizarding villages, causing the entire wizarding world to be considered jittery.The headmaster originally wanted to suspend Hogsmeade Day, and even the proposal had been submitted to the school trustees.Although the proposal failed in the end, most students also understand the dangers outside the school. If they are not confident that even if they encounter Death Eaters, they will be fine, or they really need to go to Hogsmeade to buy things, most of the students will give up. plans to go to Hogsmeade.

At this moment, Lily and Lynn were squatting in the corner of the Fengya wizard clothing store, wearing the invisibility cloak borrowed from James, not daring to breathe, watching the nine Death Eaters tortured nervously. The old version of the clothing store, the proprietress and their son who is less than ten years old.Just a few minutes ago, three Death Eaters broke in suddenly and knocked down the family of three in an instant. Lily and Lynn escaped being discovered because they were in the fitting room at the time.Immediately afterwards, nine Death Eaters also wearing masks walked into the shop one after another.The leader of the Death Eaters said to the group of partners who entered later: "I have cast a curse on this shop, and these people can't be heard from outside no matter how loud they are. This is a rare opportunity to practice. You should take it seriously. Be sure. From number one to number three, you are in charge of the man, from number four to number six, you are in charge of the woman, and the rest, the little bastard. I will reward the three best performers according to your performance, and finally use death the right to curse."

What followed was brutal torture.The screams of the family of three came again and again, tormenting the tense nerves of Lily and Lynn.Seeing that the cry of the boy less than ten years old was getting weaker, Lily grabbed Lynn's hand tightly and wrote in her palm: "We can't beat them, so we have to report."

Lynn nodded to Lily, and the two of them walked carefully to the locked door under the invisibility cloak.However, when it seemed that they were about to succeed, the leader of the Death Eaters could only be heard saying: "Okay, everyone stop. Number two, number four, number nine, you can practice the death curse."

Both Lynn and Lily involuntarily stopped in their tracks, and then, in a blink of an eye, three "Avada Kedavra" and two "Expelliarmus" sounded at the same time...

James and Sirius came out of the secret passage and frowned when they saw the desolation on the streets of Hogsmeade.They searched for Lily and Lynn from clothing store to clothing store.But there are not many, because most of the shops, including the most famous Fengya wizard clothing store, have signs that they are closed.

However, just as they passed the Fengya wizard clothing store, before they had gone too far, the store door was slammed open.A red-haired girl staggered out, yelled, "There are Death Eaters..." and fell to the ground.James' heart was about to jump out, and he rushed at her like a bullet, hugging her limp body.

"Lily..." James had only time to call out, and Lily passed out in his arms.

With the sound of "fainted" from Sirius behind him, another fierce battle began.James, Sirius, and some wizards who came to help around them fought inextricably with the twelve Death Eaters.Lin En staggered and almost crawled to Lily's side. She tried to wake Lily up, but after going through the torture just now, she found that she couldn't use magic power at all.

Two minutes later, Dumbledore and several professors arrived, and the Death Eaters all wanted to escape in the mist, but only seven succeeded, and the other five were killed by Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, Sirius , James and a passer-by were successfully petrified, but failed to escape.However, among those Death Eaters who escaped, there was actually a formidable one. He was able to use two things at once, while escaping, he also successfully cast a "Shenfeng Wuying".The spell was directed at Sirius, who had his back turned to petrify another Death Eater, and James saw the light of the spell, but he was too far away, and he watched as Lynn threw himself on Sirius. in front of.

Immediately, countless bloody holes appeared on Lin En's back, and the blood gushed out like a fountain, and it was all red.Sirius hugged her and tried various healing spells, including the advanced hemostatic spells he and Lynn had researched before, but none of them worked, none of them worked!He felt her breathing getting weaker and weaker, and his mind went blank.

"Who will save her, who of you will save her?" He shouted loudly, his voice was so hoarse that it was not like a human voice.

The seven-foot hot-blooded boy, at this moment, is as helpless as a three-year-old child.While hugging the unconscious Lily, James looked at Sirius in surprise.He had never seen him like this before, not when he was scolded by Oscar, nor when he was expelled from the family...

Headmaster Dumbledore came up to him, his face livid.He said several spells to Lynn before the blood finally stopped, and then he floated Lynn up with a levitation spell, and said to Professor McGonagall, "I'll take the patients to Madam Pomfrey. The Ministry of Magic will definitely Someone is coming, you stay here and wait for them." Professor McGonagall nodded.

Madam Pomfrey and the principal rescued Lily, Lynn, and a family of three from the clothing store behind the screen.James and Sirius waited anxiously outside.Inside, there is the most important girl in their respective hearts.

Yes, most importantly girls.Now, Sirius had completely given up on the question of whether he loved Lynn or not.what about loveSo what if you don't love?He only knew that he had long been used to Lynn's company, and he couldn't bear to lose Lynn in his life.He has gone through 17 years of bumpy life, if he loses Lynn, where will he find such a confidante who shares his heart with him?

If this is not love, then he thought, he will never fall in love with any other girl in his life.

In fact, Madam Pomfrey and the headmaster only took less than 10 minutes to treat Lily and Lynn, but James and Sirius felt as if they had waited a lifetime.When the headmaster opened the door and told them they were fine, the two rushed in immediately.

At this point Lily was awake, but Lynn was still unconscious.

"Lin En was hit by black magic on her back. Although the injury is serious, it is not unresolved. It's just that she has taken several Cruciatus Curses before she was injured, which is why she is so weak now. Don't worry, she will be fine. Rest more."

After hearing the principal's words, Sirius was slightly relieved. He stepped forward and held Lynn's hand, and looked at her without blinking, as if Lynn would disappear in the blink of an eye.

As for Lily, she also completely put an end to her last bit of missing about the person who shouted "Shen Feng Wu Ying".

***********

Two days later, the Dark Lord's Manor.Voldemort was sitting at one end of the long table, holding a newspaper in his hand, and saw the headline on the front page read: "Death Eaters Raid Hogsmeade, Those Arrested Are Hogwarts Students"

At this moment, a Death Eater walked in.

"Master, are you looking for me?" The Death Eater knelt down and kissed the corner of Voldemort's robe, then got up and asked.

"Did you read today's paper?" Voldemort asked casually.

"Yes, master. I heard that Dumbledore and the Minister of Magic are furious this time. The five of them may be expelled even if they don't enter Azkaban."

"These things are useless, but if I don't care about them, I'm afraid An Yu's heart will be chilled. You go to deploy outside the school, and you must save them all."

"Yes, master. Any other orders?"

"By the way, one of the students in this operation not only successfully escaped, but also seriously injured a Mudblood while escaping. What's the name of that student, s... s..."

"You mean Snape? Severus Snape?"

"Yes, that's him. Tell Yaxley to make this Snape the next Darkfeather Chief."

"Yes, my master."
