On October 1980, 10, Sirius officially became the Keeper of the Potter House.At the same time, Dumbledore became the secret-keeper of Dorcas' residence, the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix, and Dorcas became the secret-keeper of Lynn and Sirius' residence.On the day when the Fidelity Curse came into effect, Dumbledore told everyone not to disclose their secret keepers to anyone except those present.Of course, James was reluctant to hide it from Peter and Remus, or Lynn's refusal to tell them was actually protecting them, which made him reluctantly agree.

James had to give up Auror training because he wanted to take his family into hiding to avoid Voldemort's pursuit of Harry.However, externally, he only claimed that Harry had a fatal and strange disease, and that he and his wife would take their son abroad for treatment.

Although Auror's colleagues were reluctant to give up, they couldn't stop his love for his son. Moody, who didn't know the specific reason, was even more sorry.

The bill allowing Aurors to use the Unforgivable Curse was finally passed with one vote of the new Minister for Magic.At the same time as the bill was promulgated, there was another one: in extraordinary times, without definite evidence, the Ministry of Magic can also arrest suspected Death Eaters, but these suspects will be locked up in the temporary prison of the Ministry of Magic instead of Azka class.

Time passed by like this.

Half a year later, after three years of training, Sirius became an official Auror. In mid-July, James heard from Sirius that the Order of the Phoenix was planning to take a group photo, and he even brought his wife and son to the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix wearing an invisibility cloak.James' risky behavior was unanimously criticized by members of the Order of the Phoenix, but Principal Dumbledore became very interested in James's invisibility cloak. In order to study this rare invisibility cloak, and to prevent James Taking the invisibility cloak to wander outside, the principal borrowed it.

James looked at his beloved Invisibility Cloak sadly, and he and Sirius complained non-stop.Then, we talked about the recent changes in the Order of the Phoenix.

"Nobody doubts you now, does it?" James asked bluntly.

Sirius smiled wryly and said, "It's okay in the Order of the Phoenix. Dumbledore and Dorcas know that I've been your secret keeper, and nothing happened for such a long time, so they still trust me. With their trust, other Naturally, people would not say anything more, but the Auror side... If it wasn't for Moody's guarantee, I'm afraid I wouldn't be so easy to become a regular. Rookwood has been stumbling me. Before the regularization exam, he tried to frame me again , I don’t know what happened, and I got myself into it. Of course, he has a lot of connections in the Ministry of Magic, but he was transferred to the Department of Mysteries instead of being fired. Actually, I didn’t do this What kind of tricks, but a few colleagues seem to think that I deliberately tricked Luke Wood into this, after all, we have always been at odds... Sigh, forget it, let’s not mention these, anyway, I didn’t think about being proud I'll spend my whole life as a rotund, and when the war is over, I'll quit my job and become a professional Quidditch player, or a Muggle racing driver."

"The war is over, I don't know how long it will be." James sighed, "I'm so overwhelmed at home that mushrooms will grow on my head."

At this moment, a squat wizard with an unshaven beard and two short bow legs approached. He had a strong stench of alcohol and tobacco, which made James and Sirius frown.

"Are you James Potter? The Potter from the potions family?" the wizard asked excitedly.

"It's not a family of potions, it's just that there have been a few potion inventors in our ancestors. Are you?" James asked suspiciously. He hasn't been to the Order of the Phoenix for a long time. This is... a new member?

"Call me Mundung, Mundungus Fletcher," the man replied.

James looked at Sirius, and Sirius explained, "Mundungus joined the Order of the Phoenix about three months ago."

"Yeah, Dumbledore was entangled by a group of villains, and I helped him deal with those people. Of course, those people are beyond their control, but sometimes, they are not afraid of thieves stealing, but they are afraid of thieves thinking about it. Oh, let's not talk about this . . . I'm a businessman, and I heard that your father, Mr. Fremont Potter, was the inventor of the instant hair smoother?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"Well, are you willing to sell me the right to sell this potion?"

As soon as James heard that Mundungus had this idea, he immediately scratched his head, as if thinking of something embarrassing, and then he said, "Oh, I'm so sorry, my dad killed me when I was not born. The formula for the instant detangler was sold."

"Sold? To whom?" Mundungus asked disappointedly.

"The Malfoy family..." James replied weakly.

Regardless of Mundungus' disappointed departure and Sirius's green face when he heard Malfoy's name, and no matter how James explained to Sirius that his father did it to raise money to help his younger brother, that is, Charles Uncle Les married Aunt Doria, and when all the members of the Order of the Phoenix were present, they took the only group photo since the establishment of the Order of the Phoenix.

The only one.

Two weeks later, Marlene McKinnon and her husband were both killed.The Death Eaters' surprise attack prevented the couple from casting the Patronus Charm to seek help from the Order of the Phoenix headquarters.And that group photo became the last photo left by this venerable therapist in this world.

On the second day after the McKinnons were killed, Peter and Lynn happened to be on duty in the Order of the Phoenix. He was in a daze, looking very listless. He told Lynn that seeing the death of the McKinnons made him very worried. Unfortunately, he was killed by Death Eaters, so there was no one to take care of his Squib mother.Lynn sighed silently in his heart that even Peter, who had been following James and Sirius, had someone he wanted to protect.

July 7st was little Harry's first birthday, and Sirius sent Lynn to Potter's house because the Auror Department had a temporary mission and left.Lynn took out the birthday present she and Sirius had given Harry: a toy broom.Harry liked it very much, flying around on a broomstick, which brilliantly showed his inheritance of his father's Quidditch talent. James laughed when he saw it, but Lily seemed uneasy.In the afternoon, Lynn went to Bathilda to explain the research results of historical documents during this period. After Bathilda knew that today was Harry's first birthday, she insisted on going with Lynn to help Harry celebrate.Only then did Lynn know that during this period of time, Lily and the others had become very familiar with Bathilda, and Bathilda even told them some things about Principal Dumbledore and Grindelwald.Of course, it was not as specific as what she told Lynn. At least, Lily only thought that these two people were once friends, but did not know that they were once lovers.

In the evening, James played with Harry in the yard, while Lynn helped Lily clean up the dishes in the kitchen.Lynn watched Lily hesitate to speak several times, and finally couldn't help asking: "Do you have something to tell me?"

Lily sighed, put down the bowl in her hand, and said quietly: "Yes, there is something that I have been holding back for several days. I think I really need to find someone to vent, but besides you, I don't know who else I can talk to." Say, I dare not even let James know."

"What's so serious?" Lynn also became serious.

"I... I know why Voldemort learned of that prophecy."

Lynn was surprised: "How did he know?"

Lily looked at Lynn and said seriously: "Before I tell you, can you promise me not to tell anyone about this, including James and Sirius?"

Although he didn't know why Lily kept it a secret from James, Lynn still nodded.

Lily took a deep breath and said, "It was Snape, Severus Snape, who overheard the prophecy and told Voldemort."

Lynn's mouth fell open.Ever since Lily broke up with him in the fifth grade, the lives of the two have never intersected, but it turned out that Snape made Lily's son Voldemort's primary target of pursuit and destruction? !

"He actually shot at you?! This despicable villain!" Lynn shouted angrily.

"Don't be so loud, be careful that James can hear you!" Lily quickly covered Lynn's mouth, glanced at James outside the window, saw that James didn't respond, and then continued, "Lyn, things are not as good as you It was so easy to think, Snape, he didn't know who the prophecy was referring to at first, when he knew that Voldemort thought the child was referring to Harry, he went to Dumbledore, told everything, and asked the headmaster Protect me, and promise to be a spy of the Order of the Phoenix for this. Yes, it is the spy the headmaster mentioned before."

Lynn listened to Lily's words in a daze, and couldn't believe that the person Lily was discussing with her was Snape.The person who once gave up Lily in pursuit of power and status, now betrays Voldemort and the Death Eaters for Lily? !She always believed that power and status were above all else in Snape's eyes, and he did give up Lily for those back then.But what's going on now?Did he finally realize that Lily was more important to him?Did she do something wrong herself?If I hadn't been persuading Lily to leave Snape, would the situation be very different now?

Lily: "I know you are surprised. When the principal told me two days ago, I was not. I really never thought that he still misses our past friendship. A man, risking his life for you My life is in danger and I am a spy, how can I not be moved? But Lynn, I feel sorry for James for thinking this way. Snape did sacrifice a lot for me, but he is still the one who put James and Harry in danger after all. If it weren't for his informant, James and I wouldn't be stuck here now. I don't know, should I hate him or be grateful to him now, I want to forgive him, but when I think of Harry and James, I go down again I can't make up my mind to forgive him. Lynn, tell me, what should I do?"

This really stopped Lynn. It turned out that Lily's uneasiness was due to such a dilemma.

In the end, Lynn couldn't give Lily any constructive advice, but Lynn felt that Lily didn't really want any advice, as she said, she just needed someone to vent.

Walking out of the Potter House, Lynn's mind was full of Snape's affairs. She wanted to be quiet while walking, so she didn't Apparate directly home.As a result, something went wrong.

Four or five masked Death Eaters surrounded her, and before she could do anything, a disarmer and a knockout hit her at the same time, and she passed out.

She was awakened by two wizards, a male and a female.She opened her eyes and found herself in a large dark room, which looked like an abandoned factory.And it was Dorcas and Peter who woke her up.

"What's going on here? Where are we?" Lynn asked dizzily.

"I don't know where this is," Dorcas said. "Peter was on duty in the agency today. We went out to buy some food together at night, but we encountered Death Eaters. We were outnumbered and arrested by them. What about you?" ?”

"Me too." Lynn smiled wryly, "I didn't even have time to cast a distress spell."

"We didn't have time," said Dorcas grimly.All three of them had lost their wands.

"What should we do? They didn't kill us directly, but arrested us. They must have tortured us to extract the secrets of the Order of the Phoenix!" Peter screamed.

"Peter!" Dorcas growled, raised his right index finger to his mouth, gave a "hush", and then said in a low voice, "From now on, nothing about the Order of the Phoenix is ​​allowed."

At this moment, there was sudden applause, and four people wearing Death Eater masks walked over.The applauding Death Eater laughed and said, "As expected of the think tank of the Order of the Phoenix, the most trusted person under Dumbledore's men, he is so alert and knows that we might be eavesdropping."

Dorcas barely stood up supporting his injured body, and said coldly: "I don't know what you want to do, but I can tell you clearly that you will never know anything you want from us. know things."

"Really?" said the Death Eater playfully, "It's too early to say. You two," he pointed to the two people who seemed to be his followers behind him, "drag that man away first. Interrogation Room No. 4, and wait for me in the front hall." So the two men escorted the struggling Peter down.

"As for this chick... oh, Blake's woman, buddy, I'll let you handle it as you asked, don't kill her, or I won't be able to explain it." The Death Eater said treacherously.

"Thank you, I have my own measure." Another Death Eater replied, but the voice shocked Lynn: this voice, which had repeatedly lingered in her nightmares, was the person who ended the lives of her adoptive parents— — Lucius Malfoy! ! !

Lynn didn't know what the fate of the remaining Dorcas would be, but she knew that she probably wouldn't end well.But now she couldn't even bite her tongue like a Muggle, because Lucius had completely petrified her upper body, and only her feet could barely be dragged by Lucius.

Lucius led her down a hidden staircase, then threw her into what looked like an interrogation room, and brought in three or four Death Eaters.Some of those Death Eaters wore masks, some didn't, and she didn't know any of them, and they all looked excited when they saw her.

"Boss, you are so powerful, you really captured Black's woman." A Death Eater said eagerly.

"Tch, do you think Blake's woman can fight like him? She was caught by us before she had time to resist, a waste. I said, if you catch him, you will enjoy it. Now is the time to fulfill the promise." gone."

"Boss, are you serious? We can really..."

"Yes, as long as you don't kill her." Lucius lifted the petrification spell for Lynn, but at the same time put a tongue seal on her throat.Then, leave.

The Death Eaters surrounded him, and one of them said, "This is Sirius Black's woman. He cost us our troops. I'd like to know what he would do if he found out that his woman was being used by us." what expression."

Others followed suit.

The Death Eaters began to tear her clothes, but Lynn was so weak that she didn't even have the strength to struggle. She closed her eyes in despair. She felt that her clothes had been ripped off, and the cold air of the dungeon hit her. I know she can't escape this disaster...

More than an hour later, the Death Eaters who had finished their carnival left the interrogation room, and Lucius walked in. He looked at Lynn who looked distracted, and saw the ring on her finger.

However, a spell came suddenly, and Lynn's left ring finger was severed.With ten fingers connected to each other, Lin En was awakened by the piercing pain.She looked at Lucius with sweat profusely, watched Lucius pick up the bloody severed finger, and said slowly: "I really look forward to seeing Black's expression when he sees this finger, You said, with this finger and the ring on it, will he reveal the hiding place of the Potter family? The Fidelity Curse, is that the name?"

No, no, Lynn cried out in pain, what should she do, what should she do?She had always worried that she would be Sirius' weakness, and now, that fear had come true.

"Actually, I don't mind if you die. With this finger, even if you die, I can still threaten Black. But I don't want you to commit suicide so quickly." Lucius said coldly, "Your existence, always It reminds me all the time of what kind of lies I have lived in all my life. Therefore, I will not let you die until I have tortured you enough." He cast another spell on her, and then lifted the tongue gag chokehold.

Lynn looked at him and said nothing.What do you say?How could he treat his own sister like this?Lynn felt that was just self-defeating.

Lynn was taken into a holding cell.Before entering, the Death Eaters acting as jailers shaved off her full head of blond hair.

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

At the same time, in interrogation room No. 4.

"I've brought Dorcas to you, when will you let me go?" Peter tremblingly asked the Death Eater in front of him.

"Let you go? Let you go back and inform the Order of the Phoenix?" the Death Eater sneered.

"I am a member of the Dark Lord, how could I inform the Order of the Phoenix?" Peter was terrified.

"I don't know about it. What if you are a double agent? You seem to surrender, but in fact you just want to dig out our old background."

"I'm not, no! If I were, then I would have informed the Order of the Phoenix before I brought Dorcas!"

"Then just wait. If there is no movement from the Aurors and the Order of the Phoenix within five days, I will believe your words. Before that, you should stay here first. Don't worry, you are ours. I won't let them torture you." The Death Eater said, walking out of the interrogation room.

The author has something to say: In fact, the plot in the first edition was for Sirius to save Lynn in time, but I changed my mind pervertedly.As for the haircut, it refers to the treatment of Jews in the concentration camps of World War II.

In addition, mention about the time of setting the Charm of Fidelity and Loyalty. In "The Prisoner", Fudge said that James and Lily were killed less than a week after the Fidelity Charm was cast (1981.10.31).However, from Lily's letter to Sirius in "Death Hallows", it can be seen that James was locked up at home on Harry's first birthday (July 1981.7.31, [-]).

In this article, I set the time for the implementation of the Fidelity Curse to be a year before Zhan Li was killed. It can be regarded as a bug, or it can be explained that Fudge did not fully understand the situation at that time. (Actually, it was only after I finished writing this paragraph that I realized that the time was wrong, but I didn’t want to change it anymore...)
