This Hogwarts isn't normal.

The lively atmosphere of the Hog's Head Pub made the two sisters in the Sandara Perenpan Magic Prop Shop next door curious.

The children were all laughing and talking, which was the first time since the Ministry of Magic sent people to the school.

Nagini and Surya closed the shop and decided to join in the fun.

When the two sisters walked into the bar, the twins were instigating the half-drunk Sirius to compete with Vincent.

"Isn't it bad to compete in drinking?"

"Then let's arm wrestle." Sirius rolled up his sleeves and got ready.

When he was still a little black, he was fed by the children all day long. He had already become a big black and was even a little fat now.

Vincent was also a little drunk and did not refuse this competition.

Nagini and Surya found a place to sit down, and Aberforth came over with a bottle and a glass.

"Aberforth, is he Black?"

"Shhh - don't tell anyone."

The two sisters had long been curious about the recent overwhelming news. Now seeing the real person, they couldn't say they were disappointed, but they felt cheated.

They said they lived a miserable life? Didn't they live in caves and eat mice?

Sirius was so strong that he could arm wrestle with Vincent, so how could he be severely malnourished as described in the notice.

Nagini clinked glasses with the two of them, "I finally understand why you British wizards don't like the Ministry of Magic."

Suriya took a sip of wine in agreement, "That's too exaggerated. Aren't they afraid of being discovered?"

Aberforth smiled bitterly and shook his head, "The British Ministry of Magic has always been like this since I can remember."

More than a hundred years ago, his sister was bullied by Muggles, and the severe psychological trauma caused eventually turned her into an Obscure.

His father Percival retaliated with magic as soon as possible, and was sentenced to life imprisonment in Azkaban.

Although telling the truth would save her from being imprisoned in Azkaban, Ariana would be forcibly taken to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Sorrow.

To put it nicely, it's treatment, to put it bluntly, it's isolation.

In order to deal with the future Obscurials and to continue to maintain peace and stability in the wizarding world, they might even use Ariana as an experiment.

The law is the minimum morality, and morality is the lowest bottom line.

However, over the years, Aberforth has witnessed the bottom line of the Ministry of Magic being refreshed again and again.

It is a miracle among miracles that Sirius can be successfully vindicated.

If the Dementors had not invaded the campus many times and caused serious impact, if the Ministry of Magic had not sent a large number of personnel to the school to cause the emergence of the Bat Family, they would not have needed to urgently create a positive image for themselves.

Is the real murderer a hero who was personally conferred? The one who escaped from prison is innocent?

The truth of the year will only be completely buried, and it will never be possible to admit the mistake directly like now.

The topic is a bit heavy. Aberforth poured the wine and focused on the competition at the bar.

Vincent and Sirius were in a stalemate for almost two minutes. Their wrists were shaking slightly.

"Dude, you can't lose to an old man."

"That's right. If you lose, the girls in the school will cry."

Fred and George looked like they were watching a good show.

Unfortunately, their verbal interference didn't work.

"Big Black, you have to do your best too!"

"If you lose to an underage wizard, the rich girls in your fan club will definitely not let you go."

Sirius was obviously shaken.

"Oh my~ Our Mr. Charm is going to win~"

"Wait a minute, I have to record this scene."

The twins actually took out a small handheld alchemical camera from their pockets.

One for each person, the camera was pointed at the faces of the two people competing.

Vincent was fine, but Sirius couldn't hold it anymore.

"Can you two little brats be quiet?"

"No~"

Vincent and Sirius looked at each other and then let go at the same time.

The twins immediately became anxious.

"No, continue."

"You two must decide the winner today, otherwise..."

Without saying a word, Vincent reached out and clamped George's big forehead under his armpit.

Sirius pressed Fred's shoulders with a pair of big hands.

"Help~"

After a simple cleanup, it finally calmed down.

The arm wrestling competition ended in a tie.

But if it really came down to it, it was actually Sirius, who was almost twice as old - or exactly twice as old, who lost.

After a short episode, the alcohol was almost gone.

Only then did Vincent notice the arrival of Nagini and Surya.

Sirius was also curious about the two.

Aberforth, who was known to be taciturn, was actually sitting with someone, and even two witches with oriental faces, one old and one young.

Could it be an old lover and his daughter?

"This is Nagini, and the one next to her is her sister Surya."

"Ah?" Sirius was stunned.

Not mother and daughter, but sisters?

And the younger and prettier one is the elder sister?

Vincent nodded at Daphne who came over to greet the two sisters,

“Nagini was also a victim of the blood curse before. During the time when she completely lost her mind and turned into a snake, her body remained unchanged.”

Sirius knew of the curse inherited from the Greengrass family, but he was a little surprised that there was such an evil curse in Southeast Asia.

"I was able to wake up thanks to Vincent."

"He also helped to solve the curse on my sister."

Nagini and Daphne looked at Vincent with gratitude.

Sirius was surprised again.

Vincent's attainments in black magic must be high to be able to solve such an evil curse as the Blood Curse.

But there was no trace left on him, and even the impact could not be seen.

Peter Pettigrew just used the black magic amplification blasting spell a few times and he was like a different person. The man who was so timid before dared to bomb the British Museum crazily in order to escape.

Seeing Sirius frowning, Harry whispered a few words in his ear.

It turned out that he was a natural master of brain occlusion. No wonder he was not eroded by them even with such a high attainment in black magic.

Harry added a few more words later, and Sirius's eyes changed when he looked at Vincent.

It was an eager and hopeful look.

When Nagini and Surya went into the kitchen to prepare dinner for everyone, Vincent winked at Sirius.

The two quietly came to the outside of the Hog's Head.

Finding a secluded place, Sirius went straight to the point: "Can you lend me the Resurrection Stone? I will agree to whatever you ask for."

He lived with endless regret for 12 years. If it weren't for Harry, he would have been tortured crazy by the Dementors.

"Okay." Vincent agreed straightforwardly.

Sirius seemed a little excited, "What are your conditions?"

"No conditions."

He was slightly stunned, "You have no conditions?"

Vincent nodded very seriously, "Strictly speaking, I am not the owner of the Resurrection Stone. I am just keeping it temporarily."

The Resurrection Stone is a family heirloom of the Gaunt family. Since someone needs to use it to resolve their knot, it is too utilitarian to negotiate conditions.

Sirius could feel the kindness Vincent released, "Thank you, if you need help or get into any trouble in the future, you can come to me."

Repaying kindness with kindness, the two of them had a great change in their views of each other.
