[Comprehensive HP colleagues] That year

It's a really good idea to schedule the Auror interview early in the morning after graduation.So good that one unlucky guy who got drunk at last night's dance and failed to spot the interview notice from the Ministry of Magic's owl just missed the interview in style.

Except for this unlucky guy, there are 5 other people who participated in this interview with James, Lily, and Sirius, two fresh graduates like them, and three others who have already worked their way up and down in society. years of people.

The order of the interviews is based on the first letter of the first letter of the first letter of the surname, so Sirius is the first.

There were three interviewers in total, a tall, thin woman, a man with ponytails, and a familiar face—Alastor Moody, Sirius had seen him during the hospital bombing.

He stepped forward and bowed to the three interviewers, then sat down.

"Cirius Black, Black... that name sounds familiar, doesn't it, folks? Nine out of ten times out of ten we meet his cousin at the crime scene, and we've lost a lot to catch her." Moody's first One opened his mouth, but the first sentence made Sirius a little embarrassed.However, before Sirius could answer this sentence, Moody asked again: "Tell me, why do you want to become an Auror?"

"Because of Voldemort." Sirius said, the two interviewers except Moody breathed a sigh of relief for the name, but Sirius ignored it, "I am very disgusted with the 'purity theory' he advocated, and he It is even more disgusting to force the wizarding world to accept his theories by violent means, and I want to do everything in my power to stop him and his band of deranged Death Eaters."

"Yes, what you said is exactly the same as what was written on your resume, but anyone can say the high-sounding words." Moody ignored the surprise of the other two interviewers when Sirius said the name of the mysterious person, and did not say anything. Put it bluntly.

Still not satisfied with such a neat answer?Sirius frowned inwardly.After thinking for a while, he said again: "Many people around me died at the hands of Voldemort's Death Eaters, and I want to avenge them."

"anything else?"

besides?Sirius frowned even tighter.This Moody is too difficult, what exactly does he want to hear?He just mentioned his cousin, could it be that...

"Also... as you said just now, there are some people in my family... um, not very decent." Sirius tried his best to organize his words, trying to make himself appear more sincere, "Actually, my The whole family is a loyal Voldemort supporter, which disgusts me. So, they removed me. However, I hope that one day, I can prove to them that I am right. One day, I can Use my contribution to anti-violence to prove to the world that the Black family does not only produce dark wizards."

"This reason is quite novel, but I like it." Moody nodded, and the other two wizards also nodded.To be honest, Sirius felt that the first reason was more lofty, and he had no idea why they only nodded to the last answer.But now that they finally stopped entangled in this issue, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But immediately, his heart hung up again.Because the man with the ponytail said: "We saw your transcript, and we have to say that it is excellent, but our admission will never be based on grades alone, character is also very important. According to the situation we investigated , you once had a conflict with a senior at school in third grade, and you cast black magic on her. You know, we want people who fight dark wizards, not dark wizards themselves. I I hope you can explain the incident."

Thinking of that incident, Sirius felt bitter, but before he could answer, Moody interrupted again: "Don't say nonsense like 'only by learning how to perform black magic can you better fight against it' Yes, there are some wizards in our Auror team who are not good at black magic but are good at defense against black magic. On the contrary, it turns out that those wizards who claim to be able to control black magic very well, after being rejected by us, many of them become successful. the Dark Wizard."

Sirius was silent, remembering what Lynn had said to him back then, and then he said: "As I said before, my family supports Voldemort, and there are many books on dark magic at home. I didn't read them when I was young. Watch less, and I have a good memory, so I kept them all in my head. That time, I did have a serious conflict with Sister Oscar, and I accidentally remembered this black magic, so I used it. But The moment I came out, I regretted it, because I could feel the terrible negative emotions that accompanied that magic. So I ran away. Later, a friend told me that pure black magic not only requires Mobilize negative emotions, and it will amplify the negative emotions after casting, so it should not be used easily. Of course, not all black magic has this attribute, but to be on the safe side, I have not used it again when I was a child Those dark magics."

"Hey, who is your friend? Few applicants know this these days." The tall, thin woman couldn't help asking.

"This...should be my privacy, right?"

"Mr. Black, isn't this something unspeakable?" The man with the ponytail raised his eyebrows.

Seeing the curious expressions of the three people, Sirius felt a little helpless, so he could only say Lynn's name.

The tall woman looked a little excited and said, "Lynn Bruce? She's in your class? She..."

"Don't think about it," Moody interrupted her. "I know that girl. Dumbledore told me about her. She was born in Slytherin, but unexpectedly hates the theory of blood. She is very good at the history of magic, but Defense Against the Dark Arts sucks and falls short of minimum Auror recruitment standards."

The tall woman curled her lips in disappointment.

"By the way, I heard that girl is your girlfriend?" Moody asked.

Why does he even know this? !Sirius is really speechless, it's time to check your account as an Auror!He stared at Moody for a while, but finally nodded in resignation.

Moody said nothing more.

The man with the ponytail then asked again: "Next topic. We also learned that you once deducted 300 points from the academy in the fifth grade, but the reason is unknown. Can you tell us about this? "

Sirius choked for a moment, this matter concerns Remus, how could he say so clearly!The problem was, he didn't know how much the gang of Aurors who seemed to have checked his family's bottom knew everything about it!

"I... I did a stupid thing at that time. I had a bad relationship with someone in school. He always wanted to catch me and kick me out of school. I just provoked him into a dangerous Everyone knows that place is dangerous, and I actually didn’t expect him to go there, but he... anyway, he almost died because of this, so the principal deducted 300 points from me.” Sirius felt that this The interview is over, how can he pass the interview if such a dark history is revealed?

"What dangerous place?" The tall woman asked.

"The Whomping Willow."

"As far as I know, the Whomping Willow can at most hurt people, not kill them."

"It's the Whomping Willow indeed." Sirius had nothing else to say.

The three interviewers all looked at him suspiciously, which made him feel hairy.

Finally Moody said, "Okay, that's it for the interview. Now let's make the Unbreakable Vow."

"What?" Sirius was a little puzzled.

The tall woman looked at him suspiciously and asked: "The rules of the Auror Department, after each interview, both parties to the interview must make an unbreakable oath to prevent the content of the interview from being leaked. Is there no such thing in your interview notice?" write?"

"Oh, yes, it's written on it." Sirius said hastily.He seemed to have read such an explanation, but he was completely forgotten by that dark history.

He felt that his performance was terrible.

After making the oath, Moody asked him to go back and wait for the news. If he didn't receive the letter before [-] o'clock tomorrow night, it meant that he failed to enter the second round of interviews.

Sirius nodded and left the room.

Sirius walked out of the room, and the people waiting outside couldn't help feeling tense when they saw his serious expression.

Lily walked into the room and came out five or six minutes later, looking relaxed.The same is true for the few people behind.

"As far as the longest time you've been in there, what did they ask you?" James asked curiously. He was the last one among the fresh graduates and hadn't gone in for the interview yet.

"James, have you forgotten that the content of the interview cannot be revealed? We have made an unbreakable oath." Lily said angrily.

"Ah, I really forgot." James scratched his head and said embarrassedly.

Ten minutes later, James also came out for the interview, still with a relaxed expression.The three walked out of the Ministry of Magic building together, and Lynn was waiting for them outside.Afterwards, James takes Lily home, and Sirius takes Lyn back to Bagshot's residence.

On the way, Lynn clearly felt that Sirius was in a bad mood.

"What's wrong? The interview didn't go well? I think James and Lily seemed relaxed, but you weren't." Lynn asked.

"It really didn't go well. They asked me a lot of questions that I didn't know how to answer." Sirius sighed, "Unfortunately, there is an unbreakable oath restriction, so I can't explain it to you. Sigh... Needless to say, Lily , there was no stain at all in school, James, no matter how big the stain was, his performance in the seventh grade was enough to make up for it, so it's normal for them to look relaxed. But I... I think I'm probably out of luck .”

Lynn knew that although Sirius seemed indifferent on the surface, she had always been concerned about the selection of the reserve Aurors, so she couldn't say "don't think about it anymore, let it pass when it's over." Whether it hurts or not.

"Since you are in a bad mood, I will give up my life to accompany Junzi today. Didn't you keep saying that you wanted to take me on that new motorcycle you bought? Let's go, go now."

"But you're not afraid of heights..."

"It's okay, with you by my side, I have nothing to be afraid of." Lynn smiled at Sirius.

Sirius smiled too, showing a few gleaming white teeth.

That day, Sirius played like crazy, and at eleven o'clock in the evening, the motorcycle ran out of gas, so he flew down from the sky.

"I have to find another way to change the power system of this motorcycle to magic propulsion. It's so inconvenient to always have to refuel. Lynn, you have to help me. This improvement requires the use of magic runes. At that time, the ancient You and Croy learn the best runes."

"Okay, okay..." Lynn said with a yawn.

Seeing Lynn's sleepy look, Sirius blamed himself, he was really crazy about himself.He hugged Lynn tightly in his arms, rested his chin on her head, and murmured, "Lin En, thank you for being with me today."

"How do you say this? I'm your girlfriend, who do I accompany you if I don't? No, it should be said, who else do you want if you don't want me to accompany you?"

This made Sirius laugh.He kissed Lynn on the forehead and sent Lynn back to the Bagshot house in Godric's Hollow before apparating back to his apartment in London.

However, that night, several unexpected guests appeared in Lynn's bedroom.

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

To Sirius' surprise, both he and James received notices for the second interview at exactly eight o'clock the next night (after graduation, James moved out of Potter House and moved into his rented apartment, and he shares the rent).

This time, the interview location was not at the Ministry of Magic, but an unfamiliar warehouse. The interview letter stated that Sirius should arrive there before [-]:[-] tonight, and added a requirement of "no magic wand".

Sirius looked at James' interview letter and found that the general meaning was the same, but the location of the warehouse was different.

"What the hell kind of request is this? You're not allowed to bring a wand?" Sirius complained.He started at Hogwarts and hadn't left his wand yet.

"Maybe some special test is going to be done?" James replied uncertainly.

Such a request made them feel a little uneasy, but time waited for no one, they immediately put on their clothes and apparated to the places specified in their respective letters.

Sirius manifested in the warehouse mentioned in the letter.It was a very dilapidated warehouse that had been in disrepair for a long time. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't see the name on the door plate outside the warehouse. Moreover, it was dark inside and there was no light on. It really made people feel a little panicked.If it weren't for the experience of being locked up in the reflection room when he was a child, Sirius dared to say that he wouldn't dare to enter this warehouse, especially now that he doesn't have a wand at hand, which makes him feel uneasy.

Just when he was anxious, and even thinking about going to the nearby Muggles to borrow a flashlight first, he suddenly heard the sound of the warehouse door closing behind him with a "bang".The closing of the door splashed a large amount of dust, and Sirius coughed. At this moment, the lights in the warehouse suddenly turned on, and Sirius subconsciously put his hands on his eyes to block the light.However, a familiar scream made him tremble instantly.He immediately took his hand away, followed the reputation, and then saw a scene that made his hair stand on end:

At this time, Lynn was hanging upside down on the beams of the warehouse. She was dressed in ragged clothes, covered in blood, and her face was congested and red because her head was facing down.Her hair fell down, pointing to a large basin on the ground.There was a red flame burning in the pot.

"Sires Black, I'm finally waiting for you. How are you? Are you satisfied with the gift I gave your girlfriend?"

A sticky voice came, and Sirius saw three people walking not far from Lynn, three people wearing Death Eater masks.

Cold sweat dripped down instantly.
