[Comprehensive HP colleagues] That year

Five days later, Lynn woke up in St. Mungo's Hospital with Sirius sitting unshaven by her bedside.She tried to pull the corners of her mouth to smile at Sirius, but couldn't last long due to the pain of the scar on her face.Sirius looked at her, the grief and ecstasy in his eyes were so profoundly and strangely intertwined.He didn't speak, just covered the dark magic scar on her face with his hand, as carefully as if it were a fragile piece of china.

Sirius' hands were very cold, but the low temperature had a certain pain-relieving effect on Lynn at this moment.

This kind of tranquility lasted less than a minute before being interrupted by the therapist patrolling the room.While complaining that Sirius didn't notify Lynn the first moment he woke up, the therapist checked Lynn's body.After the inspection, Sirius was called out alone to talk for a while.

"What did he say?" Lynn asked eagerly after Sirius returned to the ward, and the words touched the wound on her face, causing her to snort.

Sirius looked at Lynn, the joy in his eyes had completely disappeared, only the heartache was left.He tucked the quilt for Lynn, and then said softly: "Mr. Smethyke said that you have suffered a lot of Cruciatus Curse during this period. This kind of magical torture will not cause physical damage to wizards, but it is very easy Caused cardiopulmonary and magic power failure. You have been tortured by the Cruciatus Curse before, but this time... it was even more severe. In addition, the magic power was overdrawn during the final battle against the Death Eaters. problem, but it can no longer support combat-level mana output."

Sirius choked with sobs at the end, but Lynn breathed a sigh of relief.The therapist refused to describe the condition in front of her, and she thought something serious happened, but it turned out that the intensity of the magic power output was affected.In fact, in Lynn's view, it was Merlin's blessing that she was rescued alive, and she didn't even become a squib.

But Sirius obviously didn't think so, Lynn smelled a strong sense of self-blame in him.She stretched out her hand from under the quilt, trying to smooth Sirius' deeply furrowed brow, but she stopped halfway through it.

She stared blankly at her left hand, at the finger that was severed by Lucius and the gleaming ring on it.Then, she and Sirius met eyes.

"Mr. Smethyke connected it for you. However, it took too long for you to cut off your finger. It was connected, but you couldn't use normal force anymore." Sirius held her hand and rubbed it lightly. That finger, and tried hard to hide the emotions in his heart.

But he didn't succeed in concealing it. Lin En held his hand backhand and asked stubbornly, "Malfoy threatened you with me, didn't he?"

Sirius turned his head in embarrassment, he really didn't want Lynn to mention this.He knew that Lynn wouldn't blame him, but the more this happened, the more the poisonous snake named self-blame in his heart bit his internal organs frantically.

Malfoy was right, Lynn was his woman, but he couldn't even protect his own woman.

He looked back at her with difficulty, and said in a hoarse voice: "Lin En, I finally understand why you said that you were not as strong as you imagined when I was dying in the hospital. I... I didn't As strong as I imagined. When Malfoy put your finger in front of me, I almost collapsed! If it weren't for... If it wasn't for the promise we made, I think I might have..." Sirius Unable to continue, he held his head buried deep in his chest with his hands.

"Sirius, Sirius!" Lynn called him, she stretched out her two hands, cupped his face and said, "I don't know how Malfoy threatened you, I don't know what kind of attack he used In other words, I don’t know how much pressure you are under. But I want to remind you of the fact that I am still alive, and I am still living in front of you. In this age of war, it is so uncomfortable to live. It's easy. I stayed in the dungeon for half a month, and I saw so much life and death. The person who was talking to you a few days ago may be decapitated in a blink of an eye, with no bones left..."

When Lynn said this, he was suddenly hugged by Sirius, and his body was shaking.Lin En rested his head on Sirius' shoulder and continued: "Sirius, you know, several times, I felt that I couldn't bear it anymore, but when I thought about how much you would be if I really died Sad, I told myself that even if it was for you, I could not die. So, even when you were not by my side, you have saved me more than once. I am alive, this is Merlin's gift to me, to you Gift, gift to us."

"Yeah, yeah, you're alive, you're alive, that's enough..." Sirius closed his eyes and murmured.

After that, Lynn lived in St. Mungo's for two full months.As long as the Aurors were out of missions, Sirius would be by her side.Other members of the Order of the Phoenix also came to visit her from time to time.Even Lily secretly hid it from everyone and took the risk of using the illusion spell to see her once.

Also during these two months, Lynn gradually heard about some things before and after the war.In this battle, almost all Aurors and members of the Order of the Phoenix were mobilized.In the end, a total of nearly 200 people and more than 100 corpses in the dungeon were rescued.What Lynn was in was only the detention room for wizards and squibs, and further underground, there were many Muggle detention rooms.There are more people detained there, the prisoners suffer more torture, and the death rate is higher, and many of them have no bones left, and there is no way to investigate them.But the head of the dungeon, Karkaroff, is still at large.

"Karkaroff? But... the person in charge of the dungeon is Evan Rozier." Lynn asked Sirius in surprise when he saw the news from the newspaper.

"Evan Rozier? But Rozier died a year ago." Sirius was more surprised than Lynn.

"Are you sure? There are so many Death Eaters, do you remember wrongly?" Lynn frowned.

"No, Rozier is the first Death Eater who died on the battlefield after the promulgation of the 'Aurors can also use the Unforgivable Curse' decree, and the battle was fierce. An Auror with a good relationship, I won't remember wrongly. You... are you sure you saw Rozier in the dungeon?"

"I... I didn't see him, but, but I met Marceline in the dungeon. You know, Marceline is his sister. It was Marceline who told me that his brother is the person in charge of the dungeon."

"Avril? You mean Rael... But isn't she already dead?"

"No, she didn't die. Evan Rozier faked her death. It seems that he himself may have faked his death."

"I will report this matter. It was Rookwood who was responsible for collecting Rozier's body back then. If it was really a fraudulent death, then Rookwood must know something." Sirius said seriously.

However, Sirius' report on this matter did not attract the attention of the upper management. It was well known that he and Rookwood had a bad relationship. Old Crouch insisted that he was avenging his personal revenge.Compared with the fact that Rookwood might be Voldemort's spy in the Ministry of Magic, what really shocked Lynn was the death of Dorcas and other members of the Order of the Phoenix.

In fact, in this battle, the Order of the Phoenix really lost troops.And the first to sacrifice was Dorcas.Not long after she was arrested, Voldemort used her to threaten Dumbledore to hand over the Potter family. Dorcas would rather die, and wanted to die with Voldemort, and then was killed by Voldemort himself.

At the moment when the ominous green light shot into Dorcas's chest, all members of the Order of the Phoenix present screamed shrilly.That was their Dorcas, the young Dorcas who always wanted to be first.She was the one who founded the Order of the Phoenix, she was the one who cracked the Death Eaters' plots time and time again, and she was the one who solved problems for members of the Order of the Phoenix when they were in trouble.Because of this outstanding woman, the Order of the Phoenix is ​​more like a home to its members than just an anti-war organization.If Dumbledore is the backbone of everyone and the lighthouse they look up to, then Dorcas is like a candle burning beside them. Maybe the light is not warm enough, but it is enough for the soldiers of the Order of the Phoenix who are always walking on the tip of the knife in the dark age They are warm.

But now, they watched helplessly as the person who brought them warmth was killed.Everyone was burning with anger, and Fabian even wanted to rush to fight Voldemort, but his brother Gideon held him tightly so that he would not let him do something stupid.

After Dorcas' death, the members of the Order of the Phoenix seemed to put on the cloak of attracting death, and the situation took a turn for the worse.First, Fabian and Gideon, the two brothers were the vanguard of the siege, they opened the gap for the people behind, but they were also surrounded and killed by five Death Eaters.While chasing the Death Eaters, a group of fugitives broke into the house of Edgar Bones, Deputy Director of the Ministry of Magic's Law Enforcement Department, and killed almost all of his family members, as well as Edgar himself.Benji Fenwick was the worst. He disappeared during the battle. Dumbledore found his younger brother and used bloodline location magic to detect his location. As a result, bloodline magic located several places, and he was... dismembered up!

All of this made the morale of the Order of the Phoenix low, and Peter was even scared out of his wits, completely unable to bear anyone asking him anything about the dungeon.Therefore, even though the number of people rescued in this battle was many times greater than the number of people sacrificed, it didn't make the Order of the Phoenix feel any joy of victory at all.

The Minister of Magic, Millicent Bagnor, has decided to hold a mass funeral for all members of the Order of the Phoenix who died in this battle.This is not only to express respect for the victims, but also to facilitate the protection of the safety of the family members.She specially assigned a group of Aurors to guard the scene, and ordered that only members of the Order of the Phoenix and the family members of the deceased be allowed to participate.The funeral was arranged on the second day after Lynn was discharged from the hospital.

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

On the day of the funeral, it rained heavily.Under the gloomy sky, everyone held up black umbrellas, and the atmosphere was oppressive and suffocating.

Of this group of fallen companions, only Dorcas was unrelated.Besides Lily, Lynn had always had the best relationship with Dorcas, so she and Sirius were the first to pay homage to her.

At Dorcas' tombstone, she sees Sturgis Podmore lay down a bouquet of red and white roses on it.

"You...could it be that you...to Dorcas..." Lynn looked at Sturgis in a daze, and didn't say anything for a long time.

"Yes, I love her," said Sturgis bitterly. "I've loved her since I was at Hogwarts, but she never responded to me. Fabian, he loves her too. We both She confessed to her when she was in school, but she said at the time that she had no intention of falling in love. Later, in the Order of the Phoenix, Dorcas accepted Fabian. She kept it from everyone, and she didn't want her and Fabian to become lovers. , became each other's weakness and was attacked by the enemy, so it has not been made public. Therefore, only I, who also watched her silently, discovered their secret."

"Dorcas, you and Fabian went to Merlin, and I will never have a chance to snatch you back from him. May you, on the other side, be safe..."

Seeing Sturgis talking about his love in front of Dorcas's grave, Sirius was thinking about it, and Lynn felt a pain in his heart.She raised her head and looked at the other tombstones. She saw Edgar's sister Amelia with a weathered face, Benji's brother with a dull expression, and the sisters of Gideon and Fabian crying out of breath. The husband held a ten-year-old red-haired boy with one hand, and gently patted his wife on the back with the other hand to give her comfort.

After that, Sirius and Lynn paid homage to all the members of the Order of the Phoenix who died in this battle one by one.When Lynn finally paid homage to Gideon and Fabian and gave the red-haired boy a piece of chocolate, the heavy rain finally stopped.Sirius tugged at her sleeve, motioning her to look in one direction.

Lynn looked over and saw a person standing under a tree in the distance.

It was Croy, in her arms, holding a little baby.Croy also saw Lynn, nodded to Lynn, but did not come over.

"When did she return to China? Who is that child?"

"She came yesterday, I sent her, for the child. The child was handed over to me by a female prisoner in your cell. She was dying, and all she said was, 'This child is Gord. The last of the Stans, took care of him, kept him alive', and died," Sirius replied.

"Goldstein... is he and Anthony?"

"We don't know what the child's name is, and what is the relationship with Anthony. And with our current situation, there is no way to take care of him. Some time ago, I let Lily take care of him first. Now that Croy is here, she has agreed , Adopt this child."

Lynn remembered the woman who was always sitting in the corner holding a small baby in the cell.She looked very Jewish, and Lynn would often hear her praying to God to forgive her and her son.Other than that, she didn't say anything, just like a mute.

Back in "Avalon," she seemed to have heard Anthony say that he was part Jewish, and that he had a Squib cousin who married a straight Jewish girl.I don't know if Anthony is referring to the woman who died in prison.

She looked back at Croy, who hugged the child lovingly, then raised her head and smiled at Lynn.Finally, Apparation, disappeared.

"She named that child Anthony..." Sirius' voice echoed lowly in the oppressive cemetery.

The author has something to say: I don’t know how many people remember that Raven Crowley, who was at the same level as Harry, had a boy named Anthony Goldstein. He later became a prefect, joined the DA, and Rowling Said on Twitter that he was a shaman.
