[Comprehensive HP colleagues] That year

Voldemort's orders were not fulfilled by the Death Eaters.Under the obstruction of the Auror Captain Charles Potter, not only the five Death Eater reservists who were transferred to Azkaban were not able to be snatched halfway, but they even caught up with two nearly An old Death Eater with ten years of experience.Not to mention how angry Voldemort was for this series of failures, and how many "crucifixes" the Death Eaters in charge of the operation suffered. Let's go back and talk about Lynn who was the last to wake up in this attack.

Lynn didn't wake up until three days later, on Christmas Eve.This can be regarded as a big sigh of relief for Sirius.After Lynn woke up, Sirius served tea and water, and spent all the time with Lynn except for class, sleeping and eating, and took care of Lynn in every possible way, which made Lynn very embarrassed.

"Sirius, you don't have to worry about me so much, I'm fine."

"It's all right, a dozen Cruciatus curses, and so much blood, you haven't seen how pale your face was before. You give me a good rest, don't do anything, just leave everything to me. "

Lynn looked at Sirius, smiled and didn't answer. After a while, he said with emotion: "Another year has passed."

"Yeah, it's already December 12st, and tomorrow is New Year's Day. It's a pity, I wanted to invite you to the Christmas ball, but you spent the whole Christmas lying in bed." Sirius looked up Seeing Lin En's reaction, seeing that Lin En's face seemed to be blushing, I felt happy for a while.

But Lynn deliberately changed the subject: "Where are Lily and James? I haven't seen them all this time. Are they home?"

"It can't be said that it's home...Lily's not fully recovered, James took her to Harry's house, you know, there is a St. Mungo's healer there, and a Muggle medical student, James thinks this is good for Lily's physical recovery. Alas, now Lily has been completely taken down by James, and I will never have the opportunity to laugh at him as a rookie chasing girls." Sirius said sadly, with that expression Made Lynn amused.

"Anyway, they are together. We are definitely matchmakers, especially me. I must ask James to prepare a big gift for me later." Lin En also joked with a smile.

At this moment, the door of the school hospital was opened with a "bang", Remus and Peter rushed in, and Remus said out of breath, "James and the others had an accident."

"What did you say?!" Sirius jumped up.

"I don't know exactly what happened, but Professor McGonagall just told me that James' cousin's house was raided by a group of Death Eaters. James and Lily were only injured and are now in St. Mungo's, but James Tom's cousins ​​and uncles and aunts..." Remus choked up and couldn't continue.

After hearing these words, Sirius immediately turned to Lynn and said, "Lynn, you should rest here, I'll go..."

"I'm going too!" Lynn interrupted Sirius.

"No, your injury..."

"Siris, don't forget, how much James helped me when my parents died! Now that something happened to him, if I don't go, how can you make me feel sorry for the rest of my life? Lily, her injuries were not healed at first, and now they are getting worse, I don't feel relieved if I don't see her with my own eyes!"

Sirius thought, if he were Lynn, he would definitely make the same decision as Lynn, so he didn't stop her anymore.

Lily was still asleep when they reached St. Mungo's.James, on the other hand, sat beside the three corpses covered in white cloth, silent.Next to one of the corpses, Alison cried hoarsely.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, James looked up, and then said in a trembling voice, "Sirius, Lynn, Harry is dead, Uncle Charles and Aunt Doria are dead too, those Death Eaters did it." Yes. They put the Death Curse on Harry as soon as they showed up. Uncle Charles and Aunt Doria did it...to protect me and Lily...they could have escaped...but they stood between me and In front of Lily..."

Alison stopped crying when James spoke, but cried harder when James finished.

Sirius walked towards the bodies of the Potters, only to see that the couple had changed beyond recognition, but they held hands tightly.Death, so that their hands can no longer be separated.

Lynn walked to Alison's side.She stretched out her hand and put her arms around Alison's shoulders, and Alison leaned into Lynn's arms, choked up and said, "Linen, ha...Harry...Harry is dead...dead, why...they... They want... to be so cruel. Harry, he is all... all he wants to save people, he...never...never...has...had...had anyone. Why...they...why did they kill...kill him..."

Lynn was speechless.

"Yeah, the Potters are all pure blood, why were they attacked by Death Eaters?" Peter asked.

"Because Harry is a Squib, because Uncle Charles is an Auror, and he has publicly spoken out against Voldemort and the Death Eaters many times, and he just thwarted the Death Eaters' plan to take prisoner two days ago. This... I'm afraid It's revenge." Sirius said quietly.

Everyone stopped talking, and in the ward, only Alison sobbed from time to time.Lynn didn't speak to persuade her.

What do you advise?Said that Harry must hope that Alison will live a good life instead of him?Alison herself may not be ignorant of this truth.Say mourning and change?For those who are really grieving the loss of a loved one, "sorry and change" is a meaningless empty phrase.

So, she just hugged her and let her vent her sadness.

A few days later, Sirius and the others silently accompanied Alison, Lily and James to bury the Harry family.In front of the tombstone, Lynn once again felt emotional: how fragile and precious life is, why those Death Eaters can be so cruel and careless about human life.

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

The Christmas holiday was over, and many people knew about the Potter family. Although the Death Eaters had not uncommonly killed their families, this was the first time for a pure-blood family.

For a while, the atmosphere in the magic world became more panicked and turbulent.Following the tragic death of the Potters, the Death Eaters gradually not only attacked people of Muggle descent, but also began to attack those pure-blood or half-blood wizards who opposed the use of violence to cleanse their blood. The war in the wizarding world reached its climax.Some pure-blood families who were also dissatisfied with Voldemort and the Death Eaters were silent, because none of them knew whether they would be the next victims.And some other hardliners were even more angry at the actions of the Death Eaters.

At the same time, at Hogwarts, Alison decided that she would inherit Harry's legacy. After graduation, she would be admitted to a Muggle medical school to fulfill Harry's wish to be a doctor who saved lives and healed the wounded.James began to devote himself more actively to the work of voluntary patrols.If it is said that his previous maturity was more or less for Lily's favor, now, he really grew up overnight.

Harry was his closest brother before he met Sirius.

He had already decided to give up his dream of becoming a professional Quidditch player and to become an Auror, he would not let Harry die in vain.

However, compared to the tragic deaths of the Potters, the Slytherin students paid more attention to the news of the Malfoy family: Edith Malfoy and Nora Malfoy died of sudden illnesses one after another, and the Malfoy family was gloomy for a while. .

For these self-proclaimed noble pure-blood families, generally speaking, the reason for reporting the cause of death as "sudden illness" is actually mostly to hide some scandal.But the Malfoy family covered up the matter very well, and the slightest wind did not reveal it.

Both Edith and Nora had been Sirius' girlfriends, and they were Lynn's biological sisters. Although they didn't like the Malfoy family, Lynn and Sirius couldn't help but sigh.

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

In April 1977, Sirius' uncle Alphard was seriously ill, and Sirius asked for leave to visit.

Alphard is the younger brother of Sirius' mother Walburga, but he has little contact with the family. Walburga told Sirius when he was a child that her younger brother suffered from a strange disease, so he lived in seclusion in the countryside all year round.

The last time Sirius saw Alphard was when he saw off Andromeda, who had been expelled from the family.

Alphard was not very old at that time, but he already had gray hair. Sirius still clearly remembered that the last words his uncle said to him were: "Perhaps, you can go farther than Andromeda and I in the future."

Now, has he gone further than them?

But now, he was standing in front of a wooden house holding the map that Alphard had sent him, and beside him was his cousin Andromeda who was also holding the map.

Sirius knocked on the door and it opened automatically.Sirius and Andromeda walked in and found Alphard following the sound of coughing.

Alphard was already emaciated and out of shape, his face was blue and yellow, and his hair was disheveled, which shocked Sirius for a while.

Alphard struggled to wave to them, the two walked over and Sirius sat by his bed.

"You are finally here. I am really afraid that you will not have time to see me for the last time." Alphard coughed and said.

"Uncle, don't say that, you will be fine." Andromeda was very sad.Compared to Sirius, she had more contact with Alphard, because her mother-in-law had loved Alphard for many years.

But Alphard shook his head and said with a smile: "You don't have to comfort me. I don't think death is a bad thing at all. On the contrary, I am very happy that I can finally see Heather."

Sirius remembered that Heather was his uncle's former lover.After so many years, even Aunt Tonks, who had always loved Uncle, had passed away. Uncle, he still couldn't forget that woman.What kind of woman is that.

Alphard sat up with Andromeda's support. He looked at Sirius and said, "I know that even after Andromeda, you were removed from the family by your parents. And those of you who fought against the Death Eaters I also saw the story in the newspaper. Sure enough, you have gone further than us."

"I just follow my heart." Sirius said sincerely.

"Follow your heart, obey your heart... Yes, back then, it was because I failed to obey my heart that I left such regrets."

"What regret?" Sirius asked.

Alphard picked up a magic wand next to the pillow and rubbed it lightly, with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes: "This is her magic wand. I have been carrying it with me all these years. Back then, because of her blood, I never Dare to make our relationship public. But when I wanted to make it public, she couldn't wait and left."

"She left? Where did she go?"

"She's dead, killed by Voldemort."

"What?!" Sirius was a little shocked. Uncle's lover was killed?Voldemort started killing people then?

"Yeah, didn't you think of it? At that time, Voldemort was just a student, not even as old as you are now."

"He... killed that Heather because of her bloodline?"

"No, actually, it can't be considered that Voldemort killed her, but she died because of Voldemort after all..." Alphard said, his eyes gradually became a little lax.He fell into the memory of the past again.

"Uncle..." Sirius reminded.Alphard regained his composure.

"Sirius," Alphard said, "I sent your father a letter a few days ago, and I told him that I intend to leave you all the gold in my name."

"Uncle...you don't need...I..."

"You can't say no to that. I'm alone, with no living love, no children. To whom do you want me to leave that gold? To your parents and your brother, to use it to support Voldemort?"

Hearing what Alphard said, Sirius fell silent.

"I didn't like that family since I was a child, and I didn't like the cold atmosphere in that house." Alphard said in a calm tone, "What I learned in that family is that only interests are respected. Do you know that when your father marries your mother, Just because he might get the head of the house that way. And Orion had a girlfriend before they got engaged, and that girl was a friend of Heather's. But he just dumped her, so, I've been doing this for a while. Hold on to your heart. Even if you are not fair for that girl, you are also not fair for your mother."

"Because of Heather's death, I left Black's house and started wandering around. Walbu was ashamed of it, so she told everyone that I had a strange disease. She explained it to you when you were a child, Yes or no?"

Sirius nodded.

"She has been competitive all her life." Alphard criticized his sister, not polite at all, "At that time, if Heather hadn't died, I would probably have married her, and then, like Andromeda, I would have been killed by the family. Removed. But later, Heather died, and my name stayed on the family tree. Do you know why I called you and Andromeda? Because you are my favorite juniors, because you did it What I want to do but haven't had time to do. I know Andromeda has found her happiness now, but unfortunately, I can't wait for your wedding, Sirius. I'm actually curious, what kind of girl you will marry .”

"Her name is Lynn." Sirius said, "Although I haven't confessed to her yet, I know that I will be with her in my life. She is a Slytherin, but she disdains the theory of blood, and she hates Voldemort .”

Alphard looked at Sirius in surprise, and jokingly said, "Lyn? Isn't that the girl who was in the newspaper with you? Unexpectedly, you ran to Gryffindor by yourself, but you planned to ask for a Slytherin daughter-in-law."

"She's different from a normal Slytherin." Sirius felt a little blushing.

"Okay, okay, I believe in your vision. Even if I can't see your wedding, I can be comforted to hear that you already have a loved one. You have to promise me and treat him well."

"I know." Sirius nodded with a smile.

Sirius didn't stay long because he had to attend classes, leaving Andromeda to take care of Alphard.And two days after Sirius returned to Hogwarts, Alphard passed away, and three days later, Sirius received the considerable amount of gold left by his uncle.Alphard was expelled from the Black family because of this incident.

Alphard's funeral was arranged on the weekend, and only four people came to the funeral, Andromeda, her husband Tonks, Sirius, and Lynn.

This was the first time Andromeda saw Lynn, and the first time she heard of Lynn was because Lynn delivered a letter to Sirius for her.

To be honest, Lynn's character surprised Andromeda a bit.Sirius has always been unrestrained and unrestrained, and she always thought that the girl Sirius liked should also be the heroic type, but Lynn saw that she was the kind of person who was very quiet, uncontroversial and somewhat weak.

It seems that no matter how unrestrained and unrestrained people are, they all have a unique tenderness. Sirius gave it to Lynn, and Ted gave it to himself.

During the summer vacation, Sirius used the gold left to him by Alphard to rent an apartment near Diagon Alley in London, and worked in a Muggle auto repair shop to earn money. Saudi's assistant lived in the boss's house.

In August, Sirius was invited by Andromeda to bring some of his friends to Tonks' house.Lynn was particularly interested in little Nymphadora's natural Metamorphmagus form, and the little girl kept pestering Remus to tell her stories.

Andromeda told Sirius that she planned to temporarily escape the Muggle world with her husband Teddy Tonks and their daughter, and asked Sirius what he thought about his plans after graduation.

Sirius looked at the friends frolicking in the distance, and said slowly: "You know, Xia Kelin persuaded me last year, she always hoped that I could protect myself wisely. I refused, so we broke up."

Andromeda didn't speak, waiting for Sirius to finish.

"I know that Xia Kelin is doing it for my own good, but I can't do it. I can only choose to break up with her, and break up with me, so that she can be safe. Safeguarding herself, yes, this is such a human choice. But if all If everyone chooses this way, Voldemort has already ruled the entire wizarding world."

"Ann, have you imagined Britain after Voldemort? At that time, but wherever you went, it was the Black family world that we struggled to break out of. People don't care about anything except blood and talent, and they don't trust each other. , I only care about my own strength, wealth, glory, and power. I finally escaped, and I will never return to such a world, so I am willing to die to stop Voldemort." (1)

"Some things are worth dying for." Sirius finally said.

Andromeda looked at this younger brother who had grown up unconsciously, and suddenly remembered that six or seven years ago, he said to her: "Ann, you and Tonks will be happy." At that time, she felt that he It's nothing new, but thinking about it now, maybe at that time, he was asking her to be happy for him.He couldn't escape, so he hoped that her elder sister could be happy for him in a place far away from the shackles of the family.

While Andromeda was in a daze, Sirius held her hand, and he said, "Ann, I know, you are a mother, and you must take care of little Nymphadora's safety, so it would be a good idea to avoid the Muggle world temporarily." A good way. You believe in us, me, and James Lynn, we will fight to the end, victory will not be too far away, and then, you can come back with peace of mind."

The 17-year-old boy is so ignorant, but in such a turbulent and gloomy age, such ignorance warms Andromeda's heart.
