Hogwarts Slytherin

"You're not serious, are you, Reggie." Sirius frowned and said in a very disgusted tone: "Let me remind you, good baby Regulus's room is filled with... pictures of mysterious people."

Sirius said, leaning back behind his seat again, "I bet he'll be eager to join the Death Eaters as soon as he graduates."

"That's impossible to say." Reggie raised his eyebrows, glanced at Sirius, and said with unclear meaning: "We always overestimate our understanding of the people around us."

******

Reggie remembered that 20 years later, Sirius, a handsome man in the wizarding world and a popular pure-blooded son-in-law, was as miserable as a dog, and finally had to live in the old Black house that he once hated the most.

One day, Sirius and his good brother's son Harry stood in the dark old house and introduced Harry to the genealogy that had once made the members of the Black family proud.

"My parents, younger brother, and relatives are all a group of madmen who are obsessed with pure blood. They insist until their death that pure blood should be superior to others, and they dream of letting that evil madman lead them to take power."

"See those charred holes? This is my cousin Andromeda, she married a Muggle-born wizard..."

"This is my uncle Alphad. He has been secretly supporting me since I ran away from home. Later, when he was found out, my mother was so angry that she kicked him out."

"This is my cousin, Cedrella, let me see, she married Weasley..."

Sirius' hand touched each black hole, and finally stopped on the black hole at the bottom.

"Finally, you should have guessed, this is me." Sirius turned to Harry and smiled.

"Hey, I've always known that one day. When I was 16 years old, I ran away from home, and they immediately and unanimously expelled me. After that, I have been living with your father."

When Sirius said this, he turned around and held his godson's shoulders, staring at Harry's face carefully, but not seeming to be looking at him.

"Maybe you're tired of hearing this, but you look almost exactly like your father, except"

"Eyes, I know." Harry also smiled: "They all say my eyes look like my mother's."

"Yes, Lily, James." Sirius' voice was choked.

In order to avoid his godfather's embarrassment, Harry pretended not to notice the other person's gaffe.

Harry didn't quite understand it at that time.

Until I experienced that loss.

Only then did he understand the heaviness.

******

"It makes sense." James pretended to be serious. "In that case, why don't we just make a bet? Let's bet on whether Sirius's brother will join the Death Eaters in the future."

Reggie is struggling with how much leverage he should use so that Porter can just afford to lose but still have some wealth.

But Lily on the side couldn't help but accuse: "Potter! This kind of thing shouldn't be joked about casually. Have you ever considered Sirius's feelings? I thought at least you wouldn't be so arrogant and arrogant towards your good friends!"

"Am I arrogant?" James pointed at himself with wide eyes, looking a little aggrieved.

Sirius whistled enthusiastically: "Hey, Evans! You don't need to meddle in my own business. I feel great. I bet 500 Galleons that the good baby Regulus will join."

Lily only felt that the two of them were extremely unreasonable.

You know, if it were her, treating Penny like this: "Oh, my God!"

Just thinking of that scene, Lily couldn't help but cover her face with her forehead.

Snape, who was watching the show on the side, changed his expression, took out his wand and pointed it at Sirius, and said angrily.

"Apologise to Lily!"

"What if I say no? It looks like you want to duel me? Sniffle... Huh!" Sirius didn't say the word in the end, just sneered.

But it was enough to ignite Snape's anger and remind him of the old grudges he had been holding on to.

Both men pointed their wands at each other, looking tit-for-tat.

As James pulled out his wand on the pretext of being Sirius' assistant, Anthony joined the fray.

"What are you-" Lily suddenly jumped out and opened her arms to block Snape, "Don't do this, dueling on the train is against school regulations."

"Have you had enough trouble?" Seeing the atmosphere becoming more and more tense, Reggie simply walked in front of Lily and Snape, and he stared at Sirius.

"Sirius, why did you react so strongly? Maybe James himself doesn't mind?"

He turned his head and spoke to Potter again: "James, what do you think?"

"Mind? What do you mind?" Potter didn't know how the topic turned to him.

It wasn't until his eyes glanced at Lily's face that Potter reacted. He blushed and waved quickly, shaking the wand in his hand from side to side.

"I don't mind, of course I don't mind. Hey, Sirius, I think Lily is right. I do seem a bit arrogant."

Sirius's eyes were filled with disbelief that his best friend could betray him so easily, and his lips moved.

Reggie guessed that Sirius was trying to hold his own.

But obviously, he failed.

The next moment, Sirius jumped to Potter and shouted: "James Potter! Don't expect me to help you next time!"

"Oh, man, that's none of your business in the first place."

"Don't call me buddy!"

The two got into a heated argument.

"Oh, so what if you betray your good friend? Let me remind you that Miss Evans chose to protect that Slytherin just now."

Standing behind Lily, the proud Snape's face darkened, his hand holding the wand tightened, and he said in his heart: "I don't need anyone to protect me! I am stronger than you two idiots put together."

"So what, they are just friends!"

"I don't deny this! A much better friend than you!"

"You don't need to worry about me, Sirius! If I were you, I would be more concerned about how to prevent my brother from becoming a Death Eater!"

Reggie applauded this warrior in his heart. It was now clear who Harry had inherited from.

"After seeing clearly that you value sex over friends, why do you think..."

Sirius's roar suddenly stopped, he narrowed his eyes dangerously, took a small step forward, almost pressed against Potter, and asked.

"James, what did you just say?"

Potter, who was originally full of fire, suddenly lost his temper, suddenly covered his mouth, shook his head wildly in an attempt to suffocate Sirius with the flying dandruff, and finally suffered from intermittent amnesia due to lack of oxygen.

But Sirius obviously heard it, and he roared like never before.

"Potter who meets the dementors! I, Sirius Black, officially challenge you to a duel!"

It just so happened that the Hogwarts Express stopped without warning at this moment.

The entire carriage heard Sirius's roar...
