Chapter 77 Birthday Surprise

1979. 9, 1

[Dear Cousin Croy:

Congratulations, I'm another Hufflepuff in our Jones family.The Sorting Hat announced my House affiliation almost as soon as it touched my hair.Norg was also sorted in, but after chatting with the sorting hat for a while.This nasty guy, no matter how I ask, he refuses to tell me what the Sorting Hat said to her.But she was "retribution" immediately.After the dinner was over and she returned to the common room, she sneaked into the broom closet of the school to look at the brooms. When she came back, she forgot the spelling of "Helga Hufflepuff", and was poured over by the wooden barrel at the entrance of the common room. The smell of vinegar is refreshing.

Having said that, there are six girls in this class of Hufflepuff, and I have two roommates - Nogg, and a girl named Jennifer Greengrass.So far, both Nog and I think she is quite easy to get along with, and she doesn't have the painful "sacred 28 pure blood" arrogance in the legend.When Norg and I asked her if she would sign up with us for "Guardian the Sun," she readily agreed.

In addition to my Hufflepuff classmates, I also met three boys on the Hogwarts Express.One was Dunbar Oglethorpe, who was also a freshman this year and was later assigned to Gryffindor.Those who said that Nog blushed when he met a boy should really show them how she and Dunbar hit it off, and they couldn't allow anyone to intervene when they talked about Quidditch.Although he is very humorous, he is really ugly (don't tell Nog I said this), I really hope that Nog doesn't want him as a boyfriend.

The other two boys in our box were Ravenclaw seniors, I can't remember their names now.They were so embarrassingly shy that they stuttered when talking to us, and then they stopped talking altogether and kept their heads buried in reading.The other one, oh, he's super handsome, but he's been bragging to us all the way about how popular he is, saying he gets no less than 800 cards every Valentine's Day, and trying to sell us on him Self-invented bird snake egg yolk shampoo.To be honest, seeing his enviable blond hair, I was a little interested in hearing him talk about the shampoo at first, but he later told us that a bottle of shampoo costs a full 100 Galleons.Merlin, is the bottle filled with shampoo or diamonds? Who would want to buy such an expensive shampoo?

Oh, maybe some people will think that this little money is not a big deal, such as those Slytherins who look at people with their nostrils (I thought your description was too exaggerated before I went to Hogwarts, but now I think, this Literally speaking).But the narcissist is a half-breed, so no Slytherin would buy from him—this is what I later heard from a Hufflepuff senior.

I think my luck is not very good. The boys I met on the first day of school were a nerd, a narcissist, and the only one who was relatively normal, and he only cared about talking to Nog.It seems that if you want to find a boyfriend, you still have to choose from Hufflepuff's classmates.

That's about it for Hogwarts.The next thing is about the recent situation in the UK - I know, this is what you are most concerned about.

You'd think that since the Ministry of Magic wiped out that poison/drug field last year, the Death Eaters would be able to stop and stop, but in fact, their movements have continued unabated.There are ones for muggles, and some for wizards of twins.However, the most discussed recently is an author named "Wild Daisy". She published an article titled "What would the wizarding world be like if there were only pure blood?", which aroused heated discussions among everyone. .My parents mentioned her again at the dinner table before school started.My dad said that in the past two months since the publication of that report, [-]% of the families that had been neutral had stood up against the blood cleansing of the mysterious man.And just a week ago, that "wild daisy" published another article called "Conjecture on the Mechanism of Magical Inheritance of Wizards". Like last time, it was also attached at the end of the wartime safety guide booklet.This second report made my father, who had always been resolutely neutral, start to waver.

Of course, this also made "Wild Daisy" completely irritated by the mysterious person. Some time ago, Death Eaters posted reward orders everywhere in the streets and alleys: whoever can catch "Wild Daisy" and hand it over to the mysterious person, no matter what blood it is, Both received a reward of 500 Galleons and a promise to never be harassed by Death Eaters.You know, 500 Galleons might not seem like much to a well-to-do family, but the promise of never being harassed by Death Eaters is alluring.

No matter who this "wild daisy" is, may Merlin bless her from being exposed.

That's all for today, Jennifer and Nogg are urging me to turn off the lights and go to sleep.Looking forward to your reply, please be sure to describe to me in detail what you have seen and heard in the pyramid.

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

The situation in Britain in the second half of 1979 was just as Hestia Jones mentioned in a letter to her cousin who was studying runes in the pyramids of Egypt.After Lynn published "If there were only pure blood, what would become of the wizarding world", he pursued the victory and published two articles in succession, "Conjecture on the Inheritance Mechanism of Magical Power of Wizards" and "Analysis of the Origin of Wizards" (for these two articles, Lynn had a lot of conversations with Alison about Muggle genetics).For a time, at least [-]% of the wizards in the UK knew "Wild Daisy", which naturally included the main targets of the article written by "Wild Daisy" - Voldemort and his Death Eaters.And Voldemort's reward order caused a sudden increase in the number of Death Eater raids that Dorcas encountered.

Lynn knew that this was because Dorcas came forward to help her contact the publishing house. When the news spread, many Death Eaters probably thought that even if Dorcas himself was not "Wild Daisy", at least he had something to do with "Wild Daisy" A lot.Lynn felt very guilty about this, but Dorcas comforted her. She was in charge of intelligence collection in the Order of the Phoenix and was Voldemort's number one target. If Lynn really felt guilty, he would have to work harder to write more confrontational stories. Articles on bloodlines to win the support of the public are not in vain in protecting her.

Because of the relationship between "Wild Daisy", the relationship between Lynn and Dorcas is getting better and better, and Dorcas also took the initiative to tell Lynn a lot of stories about her.Only then did Lynn know that the Order of the Phoenix was originally conceived by Dorcas.Dorcas lost his mother when he was young, and his father was an elite Auror who died in the battle against the Death Eaters.Dorcas did not inherit his father's excellent magic power, but he inherited his powerful intelligence analysis ability.She originally wanted to inherit her father's job as an Auror, but because she failed to obtain more than five NEWTs certificates with no less than good grades when she graduated, she was not admitted to the Auror Department.At that time, she thought, if she can't fight Death Eaters through the Ministry of Magic, why not form an organization herself?She believed that she would not be the only wizard in the wizarding world who wanted to contribute to the fight against Voldemort's terrorism but had no suitable means.She initially named this small organization "Eve of Dawn" and also recruited a group of like-minded members. However, due to her low qualifications, the members in the organization did not accept her very much, and none of the members was senior enough to preside over the overall situation. People, so "Eve Before Dawn" quickly disbanded.But Dorcas felt unwilling, and after thinking about it, he found Principal Dumbledore.After listening to Dorcas' ideas, the headmaster adopted her opinion and re-formed "Eve Before Dawn".Later, because "Eve of Dawn" did not seem like the name of an organization, and before the magic of the patron saint of delivering messages was invented, the principal's Phoenix Fox was often used as the main way to deliver messages, so "Eve of Dawn" was renamed "Phoenix". society".

After listening to Dorcas' words, Lynn felt that this is the real "hero among women".

While "Wild Daisy" and her article were being hotly discussed by people, Sirius, James and Lily passed the initial Auror training test, broke through from the six reserve Aurors, and entered the Auror training In the advanced class, there was also a wizard named Shaker who passed with them.The remaining three remained in the junior class because they failed the test.

Soon, Sirius' 20th birthday came.

On November 11rd, Sirius' birthday, it was rare for Lynn not to work overtime. She went home early and cooked a table of meals, waiting for Sirius to come back.

Sirius' birthday last year coincided with the battle to wipe out the potion base, so Sirius spent time in the hospital.This year, it can no longer be so casual.

During the war years, it was impossible for them to show romance by going for a walk by the river or setting off fireworks holding hands, but Lynn knew that Sirius' wish since he was a child was to eat meals cooked by his relatives.Both of them are usually busy. Although Lynn would fry eggs and bake bread for himself and Sirius in the morning, he really didn't cook any serious meals.They usually eat dinner at the Order of the Phoenix. If they don't order takeout, Lily is usually in charge, and Lynn is the second.Lynn knew that his cooking skills were far inferior to Lily's, so with Lily around, she made Lily "work harder for those who can", but she was much better than the two kitchen killers James and Sirius.

Lynn has never lacked romantic cells, so she decided to cook a sumptuous dinner for Sirius herself to show her heart.

Sirius knew that Lynn was going to celebrate his birthday for him at night, so he promised to go home before 7:[-] pm, but the clock ticked past [-]:[-], and there was still no sign of Sirius. Lynn used Floo powder When I went to Lily's house, I found that there was no one in Lily's house.She thought that the Auror Department was on a temporary mission again, so she could only wait anxiously at home.

At quarter past nine, Sirius apparated in the living room with a bang, drenched in blood.Lynn was frightened out of his wits, and stepped forward to hug him.

"It's all right, I'm all right," Sirius said hastily, "the blood is not mine, but a Muggle's, that poor man, whose arm was removed by a Death Eater. I really don't understand, those Death Eaters Proud to be a wizard, but use some Muggle bloody methods. It's really good to learn from the bad."

"Is it really okay? Didn't you get hurt? Don't hide it if you're hurt, you can't hide it!" Lynn was still very worried.

"What, do you mean you still want to strip me naked for inspection? If I get hurt, I won't hide it from you. At least I'll take advantage of your chance to give me medicine to enjoy your service~~" Sirius teased. .

"What are you talking about? You're still so rude at this time." Lynn said with a blushing face, "If you're not hurt, hurry up and take a bath for me, and eat as soon as possible after taking a bath."

"It's still so funny." Sirius walked into the bathroom with a smile.

Lynn went back to the room to get a clean change of clothes for Sirius, and thought with a wry smile: Every battle, every time I see casualties, unless the relatives and friends around me are killed, they are no longer as they were at the beginning every time they come back from missions. A moment of silence was observed for the dead and wounded.Now, Sirius could even just joke around with someone after seeing someone's arm removed.

It turns out that people can really become numb after being tempered day after day.

Sirius came out of the bathroom in ten minutes, and Lynn helped him dry his hair before leading him to the kitchen.

"It doesn't look bad," Sirius said to Lynn with a smile, looking at the table full of meals, "You found a new restaurant? I haven't seen any dishes this time. Which one is it?" ? Next time I come back to buy takeaway, I will go there too."

"Don't just watch, eat first, and then comment on the taste after eating." After all, it was the first time to cook a big meal for Sirius, and Lynn was really nervous.

Sirius picked up the knife and fork to taste the dishes one by one, and then gave Lynn a big smile: "The taste is also very good, to be honest, it is better than those made by the previous restaurants. Come on, what is it?" Family?"

Lynn replied with a smile: "It's made by Bruce's restaurant."

"Bruce? This restaurant is... ah, you made these?!" Sirius yelled.

Seeing Sirius finally reacting, Lynn smiled even happier: "I am really incompetent as a girlfriend, we have lived together for almost a year and a half, and this is the first time I have done it for you. A decent dinner. I'm not as good as Lily, but I think it's always different when a girlfriend makes it. This is my birthday present for you this year, I hope you like it."

"I like it, I really like it, this is the best birthday present I've ever received in my life." Sirius murmured, pulling Lynn into his arms.

Lynn just nestled quietly on Sirius' chest, enjoying this rare peace, until she discovered an abnormality in a certain part of Sirius' body...

Both of their faces were flushed red.

On the first day the two started living together, Lynn told Sirius clearly that her father was very open-minded in most aspects, except in terms of premarital sex/behavior, Lynn was absolutely forbidden to try.So she hoped that Sirius could respect herself before the two got married.

Sirius was very disapproving of this at first, but in order to let Lynn move in, he had to agree first.Later, when James proposed to marry him, he saw Lynn's moved look at Evans' father holding Lily's hand, and he suddenly understood that maybe, Lynn was using that way to commemorate his father.

So he has been "treating each other with courtesy" to Lynn, but today...

"I...I'll go..." Sirius said blushing, and then ran to the bathroom.

After 10 minutes, he came out of the bathroom and sat back on the sofa.Lynn looked at him, and asked softly, somewhat uncomfortably: "Siris, I'm sorry, do you think that I... I'm too unreasonable..." They all lived together and still stuck to that piece of paper. line or something.

Sirius sighed, hugged Lynn into his arms again and said, "I really thought about it, but since that day, I saw the expression on your face when Uncle Evans taught James Lily's hand, I've been thinking I see why you made such a decision."

Lynn raised his head to look at Sirius' gentle eyes, and an irresistible warmth ran through his heart. It turned out that he understood her thoughts...

Lynn was being moved when Sirius suddenly said, "But I think I can't wait."

Then, before Lynn could realize what it meant, Sirius suddenly knelt down on one knee and pulled out a ring from his pocket like a magic trick: "Lynn Bruce, will you marry me?"

Lynn's heartbeat stopped for a second.

Seeing Lynn standing there silently, Sirius scratched his head and said bluntly: "I also know that this marriage proposal ceremony is not romantic at all. There are neither flowers nor music. However, the confession ceremony last time really cost me everything." I really can't think of any new tricks. We are both pragmatic people, so you don't care about this, right? Today is my birthday, and you can't refute me on my birthday It's about saving face, right?"

Lynn felt a little funny when he saw Sirius' little child asking for candy on Halloween.At the same time, she also remembered what Helena had said to her.

Helena said that she, Lynn Bruce, will have a deep bond with Sirius in this life.

What bond is deeper than marriage?

In the past and present life, all she wanted was such a person who knew her from the bottom of her heart and could be with her.

She didn't speak, just stretched out the ring finger of her left hand.Sirius smiled softly and took her hand.

So, the next day, members of the Order of the Phoenix found the ring on Lynn's left ring finger.

James laughed and asked Sirius about the details of his proposal, but Sirius refused to say anything.

"So when are you going to get married?" Lily asked.

Lynn looked at Sirius and said helplessly, "Now the rumors outside are getting tighter and tighter. Both Sirius and I feel that it is too dangerous to hold a wedding at this time. We plan to wait until the end of the war."

"Damn Voldemort, we, Lynn, have to wait until we get married. When the war is over, Sirius must give you the grandest wedding." Alice also teased.

So everyone began to imagine what Sirius and Lynn's future wedding would look like.

Today, they are still full of hope for the future.However, they would never have imagined that when peace really came, the imaginary grand wedding would never have a chance to come again.

The author has something to say: To paraphrase Hayska's letter:

(1) About the Hufflepuff Lounge: The entrance is in the same corridor as the Hogwarts kitchen. Walk through the huge still life painting leading to the kitchen, and there is a barrel pile in the recessed place in the shadow on the right hand side of the corridor.Tap "Helga Hufflepuff" on the barrel and the middle barrel in the second row from the bottom will open.In order to prevent intrusion, if you knock wrongly many times, the lid of one of the buckets will be opened, giving the intruder a vinegar smell. ——Translated from Post Bar "【Translation】Badger Court Welfare-Pottermore Rowling Twice Hufflepuff New Update"

(2) Gwenog Jones, born in 1968 in the original book, is one of Slughorn's "collections" and once played for the Holyhead Harpies, an all-female Quidditch team in Wales. hitter.

(3) Haska Jones, a member of the second-generation Order of the Phoenix in the original book, whose age is unknown.Here it is assumed that Croy, Hessia and Gwenog (referred to by Hessia as Nog) are cousins.

(4) Dunbar Oglethorpe, a chocolate frog card character, was born in 1968 and served as the chairman of the British Quidditch League Management Improvement Alliance.

As for the two senior Ravenclaws Heska met on the train, let's guess, they are all original characters.I think it should be a good guess.
