"Finally giving up your Animagus?" Regulus' voice was a little light, and seemed to contain a hint of ridicule.

Sirius heard it, but didn't care. He chuckled and replied calmly, "Well, I think it's more comfortable to be back in human form."

In fact, Sirius knew very well in his heart that he understood Regulus, just as Regulus understood him. Regulus wanted to have a good talk with him, so they would talk.

After all, Sirius knew his brother. He was a dogged pursuer of his goals, and would not give up until he achieved them. But at the same time, he was also a sensitive, introverted, and lovable person who always liked to follow Sirius and call him brother.

Sirius never imagined that he and Regulus would one day part ways. When Regulus came to persuade him, he was filled with rage. He couldn't believe it. Didn't Regulus understand him well enough? He didn't want to go home! A fierce argument broke out between them, and they eventually parted ways on bad terms. Who could have imagined that would be the last time they saw each other?

Perhaps, he really didn't understand Regulus at all.

Regulus was so brave and intelligent, and he possessed a spiritual core many times stronger than Sirius.

Sirius could no longer go back in time to argue with him, because the man who had stood before him had disappeared.

The two of them fell into a brief silence, and then Sirius spoke, "Thank you for telling me these things...about my father and mother." He hadn't expected that the sea of sunflowers was planted by his father for them...

Regulus smiled slightly and said, "It's nothing. This is what I should tell you. After all, we are brothers, aren't we?"

Sirius nodded, a touch of emotion flashing in his eyes. He took a deep breath and then said slowly, "Actually, I've always missed Mom and Dad, even though they...maybe a little extreme. But now, I understand."

Sirius suddenly felt like a ridiculous child. He had never truly understood his parents' good intentions. He had always pursued freedom and adventure in his own way, but ignored the warmth and responsibility of his family. At this moment, he felt a deep sense of self-blame and guilt.

He recalled his parents' fondness and expectations for him as a child. They hoped he would become an outstanding wizard and inherit the family's glory. However, he chose to betray his family and embark on a completely different path. He thought this would prove his worth, but in reality, he was just avoiding reality and refusing to face his responsibilities.

He realized that it wasn't that his parents didn't love him, but rather that their sense of responsibility and mission towards the family prevented them from expressing more emotion. Their expectations weren't to restrict him, but rather to hope that he could grow up to be a responsible and capable person.

Sirius sighed deeply, his eyes filled with regret and self-blame. He knew the past was irreversible, but he was determined to change from now on. He would re-evaluate his life and no longer give up easily.

How ignorant and arrogant he was in the past... If it weren't for Regulus...

Regulus was only talking about his father's rare side, and he didn't even use any sharp words. However, it made Sirius' mind clear up again after a long time.

What kind of stupid things was he doing? He covered his face and laughed at himself.

Regulus looked at Sirius. He knew what this conversation meant to him. He believed that if Sirius was willing, he would be able to move on from the past and face everyone with a more correct attitude.

"Sirius, no matter what, we are family." Regulus said gently.

Sirius nodded, a determined glint in his eyes. He decided to let go of his past prejudices and stubbornness and face everything with a fresh mindset. He was no longer the same person he used to be; he had to take responsibility for his own life.

At this moment, Sirius finally grew up. He learned to reflect and understand the importance of responsibility. He would use this growth to bravely move towards the unknown.

Now that he thought about it, even though he had been expelled from the family, he had never encountered any obstacles in returning to the Black House. Although he only received a small portion of the family property, his treasury always had an endless supply of gold galleons.

How could he remain unscathed despite being at the forefront of the struggle? Was it because the Death Eaters were too weak? This was obviously impossible.

He had personally witnessed the bodies of countless comrades and knew the extent of their cruelty. Therefore, there must be someone behind these things who was silently enduring everything.

Sirius had never thought deeply about this question, but his father who had passed away early... Regulus, who had already joined the Death Eaters...

He had a clear conscience towards James, but that was only towards James. There were too many people he should apologize to, starting with Regulus and Harry, followed by his parents, Remus, Snape, and so on...

Regulus patted Sirius on the shoulder. "Okay, stop thinking about those unhappy things. Today is a beautiful day, we should enjoy it." Regulus said, stood up and stretched.

Sirius also stood up, a sunny smile on his face again. He looked into the distance, and his mood seemed to have become much more relaxed.

"Let's go. I haven't been out for the past two days and I don't know anything about this place. Can you introduce it to me, brother?" Regulus suggested. Sirius readily agreed, and the two walked side by side to the lake, beginning to enjoy this beautiful afternoon.

A gentle breeze blew across the lake, creating ripples. The sunlight shone on the surface, creating a shimmering beauty. The grass by the lake was filled with colorful flowers, each emitting a delicate fragrance.

The two of them strolled through the landscape, taking in the beauty of nature. As they walked, they chatted, sharing stories and experiences. Sirius told Regulus about Draco and Harry's thrilling growth and adventures over the past year. Regulus listened with rapt interest, occasionally exclaiming in amazement.

They walked through a forest of tall, dense trees, their branches interwoven into a vast expanse of green. Birds sang cheerfully from the branches, and squirrels darted from trunk to trunk. Regulus looked around excitedly, filled with curiosity. He spotted a butterfly perched on a flower and cautiously approached it, hoping to observe it. However, as he approached, the butterfly suddenly flew away, leaving him somewhat disappointed.

They continued walking until they came to a stream. The water was crystal clear, the gurgling current making a pleasant sound. Along the streamside grew a variety of wildflowers and grasses, a vibrant array of colors and beauty. Regulus knelt down, reached out and touched the water, feeling the coolness. He watched the small fish swimming in the water, his heart filled with joy.

Sirius smiled at his brother, his eyes full of fondness. He knew that for Regulus, these were all new and interesting experiences.

The two cast aside their thoughts and admired the beautiful scenery along the way. Regulus was curious about everything he saw. You had to forgive a young man who had just awakened, joined the Death Eaters before graduation, and had never seen the outside world. He was just curious. What was wrong with him?

In the end, it was Sirius who saw a thin layer of sweat on Regulus' forehead and was worried about his health, so he took Regulus back forcefully.

Regulus still felt a little regretful. After all, this place was called Dragon Island, but he had not yet touched a dragon with his own hands.

He carried Regulus on his back, just like he did when they were little, and walked step by step in the direction they came from. "Will you hate me, Regulus?" Sirius said with a hint of nervousness, but his tone was calm.

"Never." Regulus put his arm around Sirius' neck. He didn't hesitate. He was family, a precious brother. Therefore, he would never hate him.

Sirius paused, then quickly recovered. "Thank you, Regulus," he said softly.

It was already evening when they returned. Draco, Harry, Gojo Satoru, and Geto were sitting on the large carpet in the living room playing Monopoly. Kei and Hisahito were left there by Jin'er, who told them to be referees.

"Uncles, come and play with us! I don't want to play with Draco." Gojo Satoru saw them as if they were his saviors. With his face covered in crayon marks, he rushed to Sirius and Regulus.

Playing with Draco is such a bummer. No matter how bad the situation is, Draco always turns it around the moment he comes on the court. This kind of luck... woooooo, give him some!

Regulus looked at the grimaces of everyone except Draco, and understood after a moment's thought.

He smiled. "Okay, but I don't understand this. I've never played it before."

"It's very simple. Let me introduce you to my uncle." Gojo Satoru called Regulus uncle in a familiar manner.

Several people were laughing and joking.

Draco and Harry had already seen that Sirius was no longer an Animagus.

The two exchanged glances. "Well, it has to be Uncle Regulus."
