Hogwarts Slytherin

"They were a little surprised to see me, but Senior Mulciber didn't seem unhappy and asked me if I was frightened by their argument."

"I told them it was okay, sometimes things do break out between friends - and we walked back towards the lounge together."

"During the period, Senior Mulserber said that he also knew a secret passage to return to the lounge, so he suggested taking the secret passage back, and I agreed."

"We walked behind a portrait, but halfway there, my eyes suddenly went dark, and then I didn't know anything." Reggie put his hands behind his back and stared at

on tiptoe.

"Later they told me that I accidentally fell down."

"But you didn't?" Dearborn answered fluently.

"I'm not sure, sir. Because the tunnel was really dark that night and there was water everywhere." Reggie said hesitantly. "

"Anyway, when I woke up, I was already back in the Slytherin lounge...and then Senior Mulciber woke me up. This is all I know - I thought this was

It's over. "

"But, until noon the next day, when I saw the person who had an argument with Senior Mulserber that night - oh, he still looked worried."

"I thought he was just a little frightened and didn't have any rest.

good.But on the third and fourth days... he always seemed to be in low spirits. "

"It wasn't until about half a week later that he suddenly came to me and asked me if I wanted to go home for Christmas this year? He wanted to stay with me..."

"Oh, you mean him? Are you sure it's not her?" Professor Dearborn also expressed his incomprehension and was greatly shocked.

"Yes, I'm sure, it's him." At this point, Reggie smiled awkwardly.

But soon, the smile on his face quickly turned to concern. "He also said that if someone invites her to leave school during the holidays, he hopes that I can help him refuse... I didn't understand what this meant at the time, but I agreed. Because I stay in Huozhou almost every Christmas holiday. Gwartz, I think he just wanted to reject some girl who liked him, it was just a piece of cake for me."

Professor Dearborn did not interrupt him and waited patiently for him to continue.

"Until the day before Christmas, there was a heavy snowfall. Snape and Anthony and I were building snowmen and playing games on the Quidditch pitch. When I came back, I met him, along with Mulcib and Al. Free.”

"Senior Mulciber invited him to his home, and Avery invited me...to join their club."

Reggie suddenly stopped and looked up at Professor Dearborn, as if waiting for the other party's reaction.

"Then did you agree?" Dearborn understood and asked.

"No, sir. I refused." Reggie replied decisively, "I also helped him decline the invitation from Senior Mulserber as we agreed before."

"So this is obviously what the student was worried about before Christmas," thought Professor Dearborn.

"But why? The Mulciber family is quite good among pure-blood families, and since it is a party, there must be more than one family. This is obviously a good opportunity to make connections. As a Slytherin, he should not refuse this kind of party. invite."

Dearborn had dealt with many Slytherins and pure-blood families before, so he thought he knew them fairly well.

I can’t figure out why that student would give up this good opportunity. You must know that purebloods also have social circles, and it is rare to have the opportunity to join the upper class...

The Black and Malfoy families rarely appear at gatherings outside of the ancient pure-blood families.

Reggie seemed to realize his confusion, "Professor Dearborn, you said before that wizards' intuition when facing danger is often sharper than usual. I think it may not be unreasonable that he was so worried during this time. Reason."

At this point, Reggie's brows became more worried and he bit his lower lip slightly. "I have always hoped that I could help him share something, but he was unwilling to say anything - you may have noticed that at Hogwarts, most of the other students always have some prejudice against Slytherin. I I don’t mean to blame others, but since we are all Slytherins, helping our classmates overcome difficulties is what we should do.”

"That's true." Dearborn nodded inwardly. "But that's not prejudice, kid. Maybe you haven't noticed that the guy who's giving the wizarding world a headache right now is from Slytherin."

"In order to find out the reason, I started to recall everything that happened that night. I clearly remember that it was after seeing Senior Mulserber's arm that night that he became depressed." Reggie frowned.

"So I think maybe it's because there's some secret hidden on Senior Mulserber's arm - such as magic script or some kind of symbol mark, which scared him." When he said this, his voice was filled with A hint of Dearborn's imperceptible fascination.

The boy's words were like a thunderclap in Dearborn's mind.

open.

"What did he see? Yes, that child...that child must have seen something!"

He raised his head and looked at Reggie in disbelief.

"Now all the previous doubts can be explained. Reggie was very worried tonight, and he said he accidentally fainted on the way back to the lounge that night... maybe that was not an accident at all!"

Dearborn couldn't help but wonder, what if Reggie didn't have other intentions and was just lamely trying to lead him somewhere else?

If he didn't want to hide anything, but just wanted to save the child from as much danger as possible, just like his brother did to him at that time...

He couldn't help but think of the time he had an accident in class, which was the time when Reggie came to visit him during a Boggart teaching.

He remembered that Reggie even brought flowers, blue evening primrose flowers...which were also his brother's favorite flowers.

He unknowingly developed a liking for him, and even told some of his past stories, and then Reggie asked him for tips on practicing the Patronus Charm.

Dearborn recalled for a while what he said at the time. The boy holding the blue evening primrose said to him: "He hopes he can be the one who protects others."

How could a child who wanted to learn the Patronus Charm harm others?

Dearborn couldn't help but smile bitterly.

It was truly miraculous. Just half an hour ago, he had thought that Reggie looked so much like He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named.

But now it seems like, how could he be an evil person?On the contrary, he has so many similarities with his younger brother...

They all seemed to be forced to know some terrible things, but they refused to say anything. They just silently protected the people they wanted to protect in the way they thought was right.

"What a simple and good boy." Dearborn looked at Reggie with loving eyes, "It's just that not everyone is worthy of protection."

The child who was afraid of Mulciber...

"It's just that he still can't seem to explain why he refused Mulciber's invitation." Dearborn thought again.

Since that child is so afraid of him, then when Mulciber extends the invitation, isn't it the best opportunity to reconnect with him?

Since he has joined the Order of the Phoenix, Dearborn thinks he has more information than Reggie.

For example, he was sure that Malfoy and other established purebloods would definitely appear at the party. After all, Mulciber's father was a Death Eater at the moment, and his status seemed to be quite high.

The person who invited the child was a pureblood who also had a high status within Slytherin, and he seemed to have guessed early on that he might receive an invitation from the other party at Christmas... So why should he be worried?

"Do you think if you ask, he will tell you what he saw that day?" After thinking for a long time, Dearborn still couldn't figure it out, and finally asked Reggie with almost no hope.

"He won't, sir." Reggie sighed and lowered his head. This look told Dearborn that he had made this attempt and received a rejection.

"I said that if he wanted to, no matter who asked him, he would not say... Most people in Slytherin are like this. Unless one by one." He looked at Dearborn tentatively. One glance, "Unless you want me to use some special method."

"If you are referring to some unconventional means, Reggie..." Professor Dearborn's expression became serious, "then I must say that this makes me very surprised and disappointed! Yes, disappointed! And You must promise me to stop this idea immediately - I hope that before using any method,

Neither can go against his own wishes. "

Reggie had a look of reverence on his face, seemingly impressed by his righteousness.

"Sir, I sincerely thank you." He said with the same serious expression, as if he was relieved after letting go of the last worry in his heart.

"Your noble character makes me stand in awe - since you say so, I can tell you with confidence."

Dearborn frowned in confusion. "Why, is there anything else you want to tell me?"

"Yes, sir." Reggie said decisively, looking confident. "Although he didn't tell me what he saw under Senior Mulciber's robe that day, he inadvertently revealed the name of one of them."

"Who?" Dearborn stared at him with sharp eyes like an eagle.

"The Dark Lord." Reggie said solemnly, "He said the Dark Lord."

******

Quidditch pitch.

Today's Quidditch match ended with Dorcas catching the Golden Snitch, and Gryffindor won the final victory.

"Everyone must love you so much now! Think about it,

How many witches and wizards will you harass in the future? "Everyone let go

Laugh loudly.

The Gryffindors returned to the ground and were surrounded by Gryffindor students, escorting them back to the common room like heroes.

After returning to a familiar place, everyone started a warm party.

The Marauders took the opportunity to put on their invisibility cloaks, quickly went to Hogsmeade and came back quickly.

In an instant, with the selfless help of arch-enemies Potter and Black, Honeydukes candy wrappers covered the floor of the Gryffindor common room.

"Padfoot!" James was thrown into the air, suddenly blushed and shouted in a certain direction.

"What -" Sirius had to speak loudly among the crazy crowd.

It has to be said that they do look like conjoined twins, and they can still sense each other's call in such a noisy environment.

"Lily - she smiled at me!" James was put down. He stood there and giggled, then covered his face and scratched his hair.

"Well done, mate-" Sirius laughed.

Poor Prongs finally takes the first step of his love!

"By the way, where's Moon Face? Have you seen him?" Sirius looked around and began to search for his companions.

James, who was still giggling a second ago, suddenly turned pale: "Today is the night of the full moon!"

Sirius also opened his eyes wide: "Meet the dementors! Merlin

stinky socks!Put on your invisibility cloak, I'll call Wormtail, and we'll go to the Shrieking Shack! "

James nodded and stumbled towards the door leading to the boys' dormitory.

After searching for a long time, Sirius grabbed Wormtail who was hiding in the corner.

The trio rushed to the Screaming Shack and as expected heard

The sound of wolf howling.

Peter would still turn pale with fear and shake his legs.

"Come on Peter! It's no big deal!" James

Seeing this, he frowned and said, he hates cowards.

Peter nodded reluctantly and swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva.

The three of them turned into Animagus forms and sat on the ground, waiting for Remus' transformation to end.

"Fork, have you felt that it's a little cold tonight?" Sirius said casually.

"The invisibility cloak has no effect of keeping warm." James shook his head and rested his chin on his knees, the antlers glowing silver in the moonlight.

"Meet the Dementors, have you forgotten something?" Sirius complained.

The deer and the mouse shook their heads in unison.

"It seems that I have to learn some wandless spells, otherwise it will be too troublesome to change them." Sirius, who had transformed into a big dog again, said lazily.

In fact, Peter felt fine. James and Sirius, two people who never dressed properly, were already shivering from the cold even though they pretended not to be cold at all.

"Go in, Moon Face's transformation should be over." Sirius stood up and said, then ran to the door and opened it.

He actually didn't like the Shrieking Shack. Its decaying and ancient smell was unpleasant. The creaking sound when they walked on the floor reminded him of the old Black House in Grimmauld Place, which was also full of decaying and ancient smell.

Lupine lay on the floor. This time he did not fall into coma.

fan.

Hearing the footsteps coming from the door, he turned his head and looked at

Arrival partners.

Sirius sat down next to him: "It feels like

How about it, Moony? "

"Not bad." Lupine chuckled.

"No wonder you didn't watch our game today."

James said.

"Did we win?" Lupine smiled upon seeing this.

"Of course! How could we lose!" Sirius said

Said exaggeratedly.

Lupine continued to smile silently.

James hugged the boy and said, "Oh, Moon Face, you are so

cold! "

"To be precise, all of us are cold," Sirius retorted.

"Oh, I thought you weren't cold." James squinted at him.
