Peace and Friendship Hogwarts

At the end of Spider Alley stood a dilapidated house that seemed to have not been well taken care of. The light in the room, which had not been extinguished, shone through the unclean windows into the dark night stained with thick ink.

Sirius stopped a hundred meters away from the bright house, looking at the dark night that was embellished by the lights, biting his lips unconsciously.

Severus had already used his life to light up the darkness once.

How could he be so arrogant and hurt Severus again in the name of doing Severus' good?

It was obvious that he knew everything Severus had done secretly in his previous life, for Harry and for Hogwarts.

Sirius put on the Disillusionment Charm and walked slowly to the door of Severus' house.

Looking at the door that was closed in front of him, Sirius raised his hand and reached for it.

Time passed slowly, but Sirius did not knock on the door in front of him.

The lights in the room were turned off.

Sirius thought that maybe today's potion had been brewed and Severus was going to bed.

The hand raised in front of the door was put back to his side.

Sirius turned around and did not leave the end of Spider Alley. Instead, he sat on the ground next to the closed door.

He didn't know why he liked Severus. It was just that his soul had nowhere to go after death and could only stay with Severus. Did he understand what Severus did secretly?

Recalling Severus walking alone in the darkness with a heavy load, Sirius's throat began to slowly tighten, so tight that Sirius almost thought his throat was being strangled tightly with both hands.

He didn't want Severus to feel bad.

He should apologize.

Sirius buried his head in his arms. Just when he adjusted his emotions and wanted to stand up, the door he was leaning against suddenly opened from the inside.

Sirius turned around in shock. The lights in the room were not turned on. Severus, who looked down at him, seemed to be integrated into the darkness.

"I don't think there is anything in Spider Alley that can attract the great hero of light and justice to come here."

Severus's slow but emotionless voice made Sirius panic, and he stood up from the ground almost immediately.

The speed was so fast that he almost lost his balance, but Sirius controlled his tendency to fall backward very well.

"I'm sorry, Severus, it's my fault."

"I shouldn't have discussed with you what I said to you in Principal Dumbledore's office..."

While Sirius was quickly trying to explain, Severus sneered, "You should say these words to the savior who doesn't understand anything yet."

"You said that in order to make him a qualified savior of the magic world, you pushed him into the Triwizard Tournament."

It's like a puppet with no sense of autonomy.

"Severus..." Sirius wanted to explain anxiously.

"Don't say my name, Blake."

Severus held the door and tried to close it, "It's time for you to go. Spider Alley is not for you - the new hero of the wizarding world."

Before the door was about to be closed, Sirius quickly put his hand on the door frame, "Listen to me, Severus."

"I don't want you to think that we didn't discuss it with you because of your status."

"I was never a hero, you were."

Looking at Severus' frown, Sirius continued to exert force, even inserting his leg between the cracks in the door, "I'm sorry, Severus, I shouldn't impose my self-righteous kindness on you. on the body."

"I should have known you didn't need those things."

Severus picked up his wand and pointed it at Sirius, who was clawing at the door frame and edge to prevent him from closing the door.

Pretended good intentions?

Seeing the wand pointed at him, Sirius decided not to dilly-dally, "Voldemort was near Hogwarts at the time!"

"I don't want him to find out that you have betrayed him."

But they hurt Severus, thinking he was a good excuse.

Severus's movement to close the door was a little loose. Sirius saw the right moment and pushed the door open, walking up to Severus who took a few steps back.

"I'm sorry, Severus, I'm sorry, I was too self-righteous."

Severus looked at Sirius Black who had walked into his house, and without hesitation touched Sirius's chest with his wand, "How do you know? Voldemort was near Hogwarts at the time."

"It's Principal Dumbledore. He said that Voldemort's magic fluctuations are very special."

"But Principal Dumbledore can only sense that Voldemort is near Hogwarts, but cannot know his exact location."

"I don't want you... to be suspected by him." Sirius' excited voice gradually became lower.

That's right, I don't want Severus' identity to be suspected by Voldemort.

This means that Severus will still go to Voldemort's hands as he remembers, risking his life at any time to deliver useful information to Principal Dumbledore.

"What do you want to do by telling me this now, Black." Severus' voice rose and fell without any change.

"Is it so that your heroic heart can be rewarded with higher moral standards?"

Sirius' voice was a little tight, "No, Severus."

How could he come to Severus just for his own peace of mind.

"I just want you to know that you're fine and you did nothing wrong."

Severus spent his entire life since Lily's death trying to atone for his sins, even sacrificing his own life in the end.

"It's my fault, I did something wrong."

Looking at Sirius who was extremely sincere, Severus frowned slightly and pursed his lips unconsciously.

He felt that Black had missed the point, and most of the reason for his irritation was simply that they pushed Harry Potter, a fourth-year student, into things that were completely inappropriate for his age group.

——There have been many cases of wizards being in danger and even losing their lives in the Triwizard Tournament.

Sirius didn't get a response for a long time. Just when he thought he would be kicked out by Severus again, Severus spoke.

"Is there any way to ensure that Harry Potter can survive the Triwizard Tournament safely? Black."

"Yes! Yes!"

"Severus."

Sirius raised his somewhat low head in an instant, and his voice sounded uncontrollably excited.

He had no intention of hiding anything from Severus anymore.

His supposed protection was of no use to Severus.

He shouldn't be overconfident in himself, what he should do is trust Severus' abilities.

In the quiet night, a light suddenly lit up at the end of Spider Alley.

The not very bright light was the only light in this darkness.
