Civilization and Harmony Hogwarts

As members of the Black family, the three sisters who had truly known Walburga's skills immediately became concerned when Sirius wanted to open the Howler letter indifferently.

If the contradictions and disagreements between the mother and son are exposed in public, the Black family will immediately become the laughing stock of others. The most important thing is that the mother and son who never bow their heads are stubborn elements with strong self-esteem.

I'm afraid that after blatantly pulling away the fig leaf of motherly kindness and filial piety, the two of them will no longer have any scruples, no longer conceal and restrain themselves.

I'm afraid the Black family, which was always flying around, is even more unbearable!

Facing the violent storm when they returned home from the holidays, they watched Sirius open the letter bit by bit as if they were dead, and Narcissa couldn't bear to look straight at her and closed her eyes.

But they waited for a long time without hearing Aunt Walburga's voice from the howling letter.

Bella:?

Andromeda: ? ?

Narcissa:? ? ?

Although they didn't know which professor made the move, both Andromeda and Narcissa breathed a sigh of relief.

Only Bella looked at Afu who was fighting with a fried sausage on the professor's seat with shining eyes and full of admiration.

Unlike Andromeda, who cared more about Sirius' emotions, Bella was thankful that the Black family's face was saved—as long as Sirius continued to manage his expressions well, his face would not collapse, even if others knew about the roaring letter. Those who come are not good, but they can't grasp the actual facts at all.

Sensing Bella's eager gaze, Afu raised his head from the struggle with the fried sausage, met Bella's gaze, and smiled back.

……

Sirius looked calm on the surface, but his arm muscles hidden in his sleeves were tense, and under the cover of trousers and leather shoes, his upturned foot crushed hard on the long table. on the legs.

If it weren't for the fact that the long table was firmly fixed to the ground by magic to prevent it from moving, with the strength of Sirius' legs, the surrounding lion cubs might clearly feel that the table was being pushed.

Although James usually behaves carelessly and informally, he actually always has a delicate and caring side to the people and things he cares about.

Sirius was his friend—it had nothing to do with his origin or surname, it was just because he was Sirius, they knew and recognized each other.

No matter how well Sirius concealed himself, James, who had always acted on instinct, felt that Sirius' emotions were not as calm as he had shown.

He knew that Sirius should be holding on now and not let others see the joke, so James was deeply relieved for Sirius that he didn't know why everyone couldn't hear the voice of the roaring letter.

Since Sirius seemed to be fine here, James, who was relieved, was driven by curiosity to know which hero helped Sirius.

Shaking his head and looking around, James quickly locked his target on the black-haired senior who lost her composure to Sirius' sorting results at the sorting ceremony last night.

The same curly black hair as Sirius - but a different length.

If you look carefully, you can see some eyebrows and eyes similar to Sirius.

And the arrogance (arrogance) that is almost carved out of a mold.

Of course, in James' view, Silas' arrogance stems from self-confidence, while Black's arrogance stems from being defiant.

James heard that Sirius had three cousins, and guessed this should be one of them.

Sitting at the long table of the Institute for Advanced Study, that is the oldest Bellacritus Black.

After identifying the target, James observed carefully, and found that Bellatrix's eyes were focused in one direction, with an emotion in his eyes that he couldn't describe, looking at a person, that was... who?

James followed Bella's line of sight and found that Professor Afu was at the end!

James immediately thought of the identity of Professor Afu, and then suddenly realized.

With this guess, James turned around and carefully observed the way Bella looked at Professor Afu, and it was easy to conclude that it was gratitude, emotion, and dependence.

rely?

At this moment, James remembered what his mother Euphemia said to himself the night before Hogwarts started -

"At Hogwarts, all little wizards can trust and rely on Professor Afu wholeheartedly."

"Professor Afu will protect all little wizards unconditionally and at all costs."

James was dubious about these words at first, but now, knowing that it was Professor Afu who helped Sirius behind the scenes, James suddenly understood why his mother said that.

……

Because he could clearly hear Walburga's sharp voice and harsh abuse from the roaring letter, Sirius exhausted all his strength to maintain a calm and complacent expression.

He no longer had the energy to pay attention to how the people around him would react when they heard it, nor did he notice that no one else could hear the voice of the roaring letter except himself.

After the Roaring Letter finished reading all the content, a dash almost hit the tip of Sirius' nose, and then twisted and self-destructed into fine scraps of paper and fell down.

Red crumbs landed on Sirius' dinner plate and onto his school robe like falling snow.

Roaring Letter ended his mission, and the next step was to face the ugly public opinion.

Sirius was ready.

He raised his brows upright, leaned back, raised his head slightly, and looked down, like a high-ranking controller listening to the barking of the incompetent below.

Sirius felt that he could face any ridicule and eccentricities, but unexpectedly, he couldn't hear any gossip caused by Walburga scolding himself in public.

There were no wizards whose families had always had conflicts with the Black family, and there were no wizards who could not understand the arrogant and domineering style of the Black family.

Even if these wizards who are malicious to themselves and the Black family dare not take action against themselves, it is not possible that none of them even attack themselves verbally—parents will not fight for language conflicts between little wizards. And rashly come forward.

Everything was as if it had never happened, as if he had never received the roaring letter, as if there was nothing serious in the roaring letter, as if they hadn't heard anything.

James: Hey!We haven't really heard anything yet.

As a close friend of Sirius, James saw Sirius put on guard after the Roaring Letter self-destructed, and asked Sirius suspiciously what the Roaring Letter just said in a gossip-like manner. No one can hear the contents of the roaring letter.

James hinted that Professor Afu might have acted just now, blocking everyone and giving Sirius a private listening space.

After Sirius found out, he looked at Professor Afu who had changed from fried sausage to boiled eggs in the professor's seat with complicated eyes.
