After hearing Draco's thoughts, everyone couldn't sit still.

Regulus knew Sirius all too well.

He had always chased after Sirius, like a child who would never grow up. He had always looked up to his brother and thought he was the most amazing person in the world.

Even though they were later sorted into different houses due to disagreements, he could not help but keep his eyes on Sirius. He watched Sirius laugh freely with his friends, watched him quarrel fiercely with his parents, and watched him gradually distance himself from his family...

He silently watched how Sirius cared for his friends and silently listened to Sirius' harsh accusations against him for joining the Death Eaters. However, he chose to remain silent.

Perhaps, Sirius, who was so free and unrestrained, was not suitable to stay in the oppressive environment of the Black family, Regulus thought to himself.

But, isn't this where he and his brother grew up together? This place carries the memories and emotions of their growth together. Isn't it worth him staying here at all?

Regulus knew that, although his parents' love could sometimes seem twisted and heavy, they had never intended to hurt Sirius. Their expectations and their parenting methods might have been problematic, but their hearts were always with Sirius.

Regulus was well aware of his parents' expectations for Sirius. As the eldest son, Sirius had always been seen as the family's hope and future heir. Even though Sirius chose Gryffindor, which went against family tradition, his parents did not give up their expectations of him.

Even when questioned by Voldemort, his parents stood up without hesitation to plead for Sirius, even admitting their mistakes to Voldemort. The young Regulus didn't understand why his parents' faces were always so pale, filled with fatigue and worry during that time. However, after becoming a Death Eater himself, he gradually understood the reason.

During that dark era, Voldemort's power grew, posing a huge threat to the wizarding world. The Black family, generations of Slytherins and Voldemort's followers, had a Gryffindor, which undoubtedly made Voldemort suspicious of Black's position.

In order to protect Sirius, his parents risked their lives to ask for Voldemort's forgiveness. This required not only courage, but also a deep love for family.

Regulus realized that his parents were not completely cold and heartless people.

Even though his parents' ways may have been flawed, they were all motivated by love for Sirius. As for Sirius, perhaps he didn't realize the true meaning of this love, or ignored its existence due to resentment in his heart.

Although Regulus was young, he was thoughtful and intelligent, so he had a deep understanding of Sirius Black. Through some clues and speculations, he easily saw through Sirius' inner thoughts.

There is no doubt that Sirius's motive is simple: to atone for his sins. However, in Regulus's eyes, Sirius's actions are tantamount to moral kidnapping.

This situation was not going to benefit anyone if it continued, and something had to change. Regulus realized it was time to have a serious talk with Sirius. After all, he had been deliberately avoiding his brother these days.

In fact, Regulus did not resent or hate Sirius. On the contrary, he always remembered the brother who cared for him, played with him, taught him to ride a broom, took him on adventures, and told him bedtime stories.

There were two reasons why he was unwilling to talk to Sirius: one was that he really didn't know where to start; the other was that Sirius had always maintained his Animagus form, and he could neither transform nor understand canine language.

Regulus couldn't help but laugh at the thought: Did he have to bark like a puppy? He rarely showed a hint of humor and couldn't help laughing.

Draco and Harry curiously asked him why he was laughing, but he just shook his head and continued laughing.

This kind of smile was something Sirius hadn't seen in a long time. When was the last time? It seemed like... before he went to Hogwarts...

He vaguely recalled the boy who followed him, looking at him with sparkling eyes. They had hidden in the garden, dreaming about school and imagining what adventures they would have in the future. They had explored the world together, full of curiosity and enthusiasm.

However, everything changed after entering Hogwarts.

His disappointing elder brother chose to abandon the family and handed the burden to his shy and introverted younger brother.

The pressure from his family and the shadow of dark magic gradually enveloped Regulus, turning him from an innocent boy into the silent and taciturn man he is today.

So, Regulus never laughed heartily again after that?

Gojo Satoru, Geto Suguru, Draco, and Harry hit it off and decided to have some fun, so they took Kei and Hisahito to watch Ron and the others train, under the pretext of letting Kei see her father working hard.

Regulus and Sirius were the only ones left in the huge room.

Regulus stood quietly by the window, looking at the scenery outside, his eyes revealing a hint of sadness. He looked a little lonely, as if he had been forgotten by the whole world.

Sirius squatted beside him, silently watching his brother, with a complex emotion in his heart.

"Want to go out for a walk, brother?" Regulus suddenly broke the silence and said softly. His voice was very soft, but it was clearly heard by Sirius. Sirius was stunned and a little bit unbelievable. Regulus was, was he calling him?

Sirius slowly stood up and walked over to Regulus, his eyes gleaming with excitement as he stared at his brother.

They walked out of the house together and strolled into the sunshine. The breeze gently caressed their faces, bringing a breath of fresh air. They walked along the path, silent between them. But this silence was not awkward, but rather a sense of tacit understanding and harmony.

They stopped in front of a sea of sunflowers. Regulus sat on the grassy slope beside them, staring blankly at the golden sea of flowers before him.

Sirius's Animagus squatted beside him.

"In the past, there was also a sea of flowers like this at home..." Regulus said slowly, as if immersed in memories.

This is indeed a bit surprising, because in the oppressive atmosphere of the Black family, there is such a colorful and vibrant sea of flowers.

At that time, the favorite place of young Regulus and Sirius was this sea of flowers. They often walked among the flowers, feeling the fresh air brought by nature.

There was no family tension here, only endless joy and freedom. This sea of flowers became one of their most beautiful childhood memories.

However, as time passed, everything changed. After my father passed away, the sea of flowers gradually lost its vitality and became desolate and dreary.

The once dazzling flowers were now withered, leaving only withered stalks and broken petals. This sea of flowers seemed to reflect the decline and fall of the Black family.

Later, Regulus accidentally discovered that this sea of flowers was planted by his father specially for them.

Looking out the French window of his father's study, he could clearly see the entire sea of flowers. At that moment, standing by the study window, he finally understood his father's deep love for them. This love was so deep and silent.

In this way, their father silently guarded their childhood and tried his best to give them happiness within the scope of his understanding.

As Regulus stood in front of the window, he couldn't help but picture the scene in his mind.

Whenever he and Sirius played and laughed in the sea of flowers, his father, who was usually serious and rigid and paid great attention to etiquette and rules, would always stand behind the French window and watch them with a smile.

Perhaps this was his only way of expressing his love, and it was only then that Regulus understood this silent fatherly love.

He spoke slowly to Sirius, his tone calm and objective, as if he was telling a story that had nothing to do with him. He told Sirius everything he knew and understood, without adding any personal feelings or prejudice.

He hoped that in this way, Sirius would understand the love his parents had for him. Although the expression of this love was a little distorted, it did exist.

When Regulus finished speaking, he stopped talking and sat there quietly. He knew that this story would take some time to digest, so he chose to remain silent, giving Sirius enough space to think.

The atmosphere around him grew solemn, with only a gentle breeze, carrying the scent of grass, wafting through. Regulus closed his eyes, taking in the tranquility of nature. Suddenly, he heard a slight movement beside him, and someone quietly sat down.

He didn't turn around to see who it was, but just raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile. He knew that person must be Sirius.
