Hogwarts Slytherin

As if on a spring, Reggie stood up immediately and waved his hand to indicate that he was leaving immediately.

"Hey!" James yelled, "You're kidding, I'm James Potter, okay? If you promise me, you'll get something from Gryffindor—"

"Don't be so stupid, okay? Fork." Sirius sniffed with disgust.

James snorted.

"I'm not done yet! Padfoot! Don't interrupt me, okay!"

"I can already imagine your next stupid words." Sirius said expressionlessly.

"Ahem," Remus coughed lightly, "Valentine's Day is coming soon, James."

James immediately gave up the quarrel with Sirius, and he flattered Reggie by the hem of his robe, "My happiness is in your hands. We are buddies, right? Brothers should help each other, right?"

For Merlin's sake, Lily was really hard to catch.

Under the brainwashing of several bad friends, James gradually seemed to regard a good love poem as a life-saving straw to reverse the situation.

Therefore, at this moment, he was holding tightly even the Slytherin robes that he hated the most.

Reggie raised his eyebrows and shook the black elder wand in his hand suggestively: "Three - two -"

James let go of his robe in time and looked at him with wide eyes, the flattery in his eyes almost overflowing.

"No," Reggie thought carefully for a while, but still declined in a deep voice, "I promised Lily that I won't create any opportunities for you."

"If you don't tell me, I won't tell you. Who knows you wrote it. Besides, I just hope you can provide some advice - right, this is just mutual help between good friends."

"You didn't do anything to help me." Reggie said flatly. In fact, he almost wanted to laugh out loud.

Capture the heart of the Gryffindor flower with a love poem?

Needless to say, it must have been Sirius's bad idea.

James scratched the back of his head and stopped trying to get Reggie to submit by giving him the ecstasy soup. Reggie also doubted whether he was really giving him the ecstasy soup again, or if there were several plunderers behind him who were scheming.

Watching James calmly and deep in thought, it was obvious that he still knew the principle of equivalent exchange.

next second.

James had a sad look on his face, but said in a very firm tone: "I'll give you Padfoot. I know that Carlo has been pestering you recently. She likes Padfoot, and we all know it. If Padfoot appears, In front of her, she will be seduced by that face, so her attention will not be on you."

"James, you are such a genius." Reggie thought silently. He didn't have the strength to anger two people with just one sentence.

Remus and Peter burst into the wildest laughter ever, and Remus had to cover his face with his robes to maintain his sane and cool student image.

"Okay," Reggie thought that at this moment he had to remain indifferent and indifferent. Didn't he see that Sirius on the side was still so shocked that he didn't come back to his senses.

"When?"

James was so shocked that he even forgot to reply.

Subconsciously he thought it was just a joke, but now that Reggie said so! ! !

Thinking of love poems, and then thinking of Lily...

"Any time." It was Sirius who answered the question. He smiled nonchalantly, and James' heart suddenly sank to the bottom.

Every time Padfoot speaks in this tone, it can only mean that he has really risen.

"It's just a joke, buddy." James stopped Sirius' shoulder and said with a deliberate wink.

But Sirius just shook his shoulders coldly, as if about to get up and leave.

When James saw that he was really angry, he quickly begged for mercy: "Padfoot, oh! Okay, this is just a joke, I swear, you are my best buddy!"

"Oh? How about compared to Lily?"

James's confident expression changed, and he immediately started scratching the hair on the back of his head, and said in a sarcastic tone: "Of course, the most important thing is my brothers!"

Sirius rolled his eyes disdainfully, but fortunately his expression softened.

"Looks like you made a not-so-clever joke, doesn't it? Jaime, give me your Galleons if you want."

He was really short of money.

In particular, the talent potion sold in the grocery store was analyzed and sampled by some thoughtful people in private. Although it was still impossible to imitate it, it seemed that the potion materials required for this potion had been figured out.

Potion to restore magic power!

Especially in this turbulent time, for Merlin's sake, as more and more people take it, I believe that the impact will be incalculable before long.

Along with this, its potion materials have also increased.

Therefore, Reggie is really out of money.

In addition, alchemy is too expensive. As time goes by, he faces more and more things...

"Gold...Gold Galleons?" James didn't come back to his senses for a while, then he was ecstatic and immediately emptied his pockets, "Of course! If it's not enough, I'll write to my parents."

Transaction.

At the edge of the black lake, few people spoke anymore. Lupine was reading a book, Peter was working on some homework papers, and Sirius was lying casually on the grass, not knowing what he was thinking.

James would pull off a piece of grass from time to time, put it in his mouth, and then spit it out.

Ruigi devoted his energy to writing "love poems".

"Your emerald eyes can only be reflected by the water of the Black Lake~" Reggie softly read the first line of his poem, and then looked at James.

"Go on, James."

James stared at the lake, his eyes dim, obviously trying to think clearly.

To be honest, he had missed a lot of information during this period, including the magic weapon to charm the witch.

"Cow, squid one" James opened and closed his mouth for a long time and only one word came out.

"What's squid?" Reggie urged him impatiently.

James swallowed hard and said in the gentlest and deepest voice in his life: "The giant squid can't stop me from following your gaze."

Reggie nodded approvingly.

James kept up his efforts: "The circuitous Quaffle takes away your glory a little."

Everyone was silent for a moment, and then booed in unison.

"I think this poem is great!" James said confidently.

"Yeah," Reggie said flatly, "If you ask me, you're a little more eye-catching than the Quaffle because you still have a body."

"Why?" James was about to retort when he suddenly realized something and rubbed his disheveled hair in shame.

"So," he continued cautiously, "the crowd's cheers are not as good as a 'Potter'?"

"It's a little interesting." Reggie commented.

James showed his usual triumphant smile and continued: "Maybe you don't love me."

"I didn't expect you to know Lily's feelings for you quite clearly." Reggie nodded, quite agreeing with this.

Because James never seemed to admit it.

"I can continue reading, I found the feeling!" James didn't care, he felt inspired now, and he looked really energetic.

Reggie gestured for him to continue.

"I still firmly believe in Merlin's sincerity to protect me." He said this poem firmly, and then looked at the black-haired wizard.

"I feel a little sick." Reggie said decisively, and James looked at her in confusion.Junqu Pavilion

"why?"

"Uh-" Reggie fell into thought.

"It's too disgusting." Sirius, who was lying on the grass, said the word that he was embarrassed to say for Reggie.

"Is there a love poem that is not disgusting?" James shouted in dissatisfaction.

The marauders were lost in thought again.

"No," Reggie said frustratedly, "just keep reading."

Anyway, what makes Lily disgusted is you, not me.

James continued to work hard: "Then can you agree to this poor admirer and go to Hogsmeade with him?"

"Okay." Reggie took the lead in applauding, "That's great, James, you can submit for The Quibbler!"

The other marauders looked at Prongs' silly look of joy, and in order not to hit him, they had to nod along with their conscience.

Well, who makes them brothers?

If he was happy... maybe Lily's head was filled with splendens that day?

"Merlin's socks! I knew I could do it!" James celebrated by pumping his fist in the air.

He turned to look at the few people and suggested cheerfully: "Why don't we read this touching love poem again?"

Sirius, Lupine and Peter all looked at him with bewildered eyes.

is this real?

This heartless man is really their brother.

is this real?

He really thought he could win Evans' heart with this poem...

"Dude, are you sure?"

It turns out that James's retardation once again exceeded their imagination.

Even the most stupid person can feel that what they express is clearly not approval.

But James couldn't feel it.

He nodded vigorously and began to speak affectionately in the eyes of everyone who was speechless...

******

Valentine's Day.

The four raiders were all looking forward to the next morning.

Peter spent the night dreaming about pancakes with hot butter and maple syrup.

Remus planned to finish breakfast as quickly as possible so that he could get to the library before class and finish some homework before the full moon in a few days.Sirius was busy opening various presents and throwing envelopes into the stove.

James couldn't wait to see Lily Evans' reaction to his second love poem.

"Oh, this poem is an absolute work of art." James said, looking carefully at the love poem again, and claimed that it almost made him fall in love on the spot.

Then he sang Celestine Warbeck's song -

She was a popular witch singer in the wizarding world, and Mrs. Molly Weasley remained a huge fan of hers for decades to come.

It is worth mentioning that this time, due to Reggie's "kindness", James changed the envelope of the love poem to pink.

"Every wish you have is an instruction to me. My fragile heart is being held in your hands. Now, I finally understand! This is the magic power in you!"

James held his heart and howled the song "You Hooked My Heart Away with Magic".

Although the lyrics were a bit off-putting, James had been singing them all morning and had obviously got them stuck in his head.

Even the pickiest Sirius had to admit that this song was indeed catchy.

Of course, it wasn't quite as catchy when James tried to serenade Sirius with it while they were getting dressed.Thinking of James' wagging eyebrows and ridiculous kissing expression when he put on his shirt, Sirius wanted to throw him into the bathroom and lock the door.

But no matter what, when they entered the auditorium, they may be the rare students in the school with shining eyes and happy mood.well.

But their good mood didn't last long because 1) there were no pancakes for breakfast today, so Peter's dream of hot butter and maple syrup was completely dashed.

Lily obviously didn't behave in any special way on this special day.

As usual, she chose to sit with her female friends without hesitation.

When James tried to get her attention, she didn't even give him a look.

While he was just sitting down, Sirius received two more boxes of chocolates. His meal was constantly interrupted, which made him frown and look a little impatient.

So Lupine was the only Marauder still in a bright mood.

He sat down and quickly filled his plate with eggs and bacon, still thinking about his library plans for a while and unaware of his friends' suddenly suppressed emotions.

"What's going on? Why is the damn MacKinnon still clinging to Lily." James murmured in a low voice, glancing back and forth at the long table beside him in case he missed the appearance of an unknown love rival.

Of course, there was no sign that anyone would go to that table and strike up a conversation with Lily. It didn't mean that Lily wasn't good enough, it was just that she was too good.

The professor's love, excellent grades, and even the only small flaw before - the lily tattoo on his face have all disappeared under the influence of the potion.

"She is so charming." James was so fascinated by it that he didn't even notice that the fork in his hand fell into the cup.

"Damn Fork, can you stop being so embarrassed!" Sirius growled softly.

James didn't hear it at all.

He was busy pouting over his coffee, then looking pitifully at Lily, as if expecting her to at least look at him,

Save him from the burning pain of unrequited love.

Apparently she didn't.

"She better not ruin my morning," Sirius muttered angrily, reaching for the bacon and stuffing a few slices onto his plate.

He took a bite, chewed aggressively, and began to glare at the table where Lily and others were sitting, as if she was a beauty.

James' attention finally shifted from Lily in the distance to Sirius beside him.

"Stop it, little Pawpaw! Hahahahaha, Merlin's smelly socks, hahahahaha."

Just because the three Marauders have been called by the codename Xiang since the Animagus transformation was successful, everyone thought it was strange at first, but as time went by, most Gryffindors have become accustomed to it.

Some girls who were fascinated by Sirius privately thought that the name Padfoot was obviously not in line with his temperament, so they affectionately called him Little Paw.

Later, when James found out, several people laughed for a long time and often teased Sirius with this title.
