The Charles Becomes a Wizard

The hand-churned ice cream is delicate and smooth, without any ice residue. It uses the best chocolate produced by the Phantomhive Candy Factory. It is fragrant and mellow in the mouth. The addition of a few nuts makes the taste of the ice cream richer.

Charles swallowed the last bite quietly, then pressed the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief. He didn't say anything about Sebastian's unnecessary behavior, but just raised his eyes and looked quietly at the demon in front of him.

"Sebastian."

"Tell me, can an heir who is highly valued in the family really have no feelings for the family that raised him?"

The boy's eyes were clear, as if he was somewhat confused, or simply puzzled.

Ciel had read the news about the Black family that Sebastian had found. Before joining the Order of the Phoenix, Sirius was the recognized heir of that family. He was proud, unbridled and flamboyant, the kind of person that could only be brought up with enough attention.

No matter how you look at it, Sirius Black's hatred for his family is a bit too much.

Ciel didn't understand what kind of deep hatred would make Sirius stand against all his relatives without hesitation, and what kind of precious ideals and precious "freedom" would make him run to the Order of the Phoenix without looking back, ignoring that his "colleagues" had their hands stained with the blood of his relatives...

Families with ancient heritage are often very strict in disciplining their children. After all, only by raising a qualified heir can the family continue. But if Sirius simply couldn't stand the pressure in the family and the constraints of rigid dogma, he could have left alone instead of joining that cruel war.

"Human thoughts are always complicated and ridiculous." Sebastian said as he cleared the plates on the table. "How do you know if he regretted his decision?"

Charles lowered his eyelids, his long eyelashes hiding the complicated thoughts in his eyes. After a long silence, he uttered a low sigh: "Not everything can be redeemed. Even if he regrets it now, the dead will not appear again."

Do you regret it?

Sirius had asked himself this question more than once while in the Azkaban cell, but the answers he got were always completely different.

Children from families with ancient heritage, no matter how they appear on the outside, are often complicated and delicate in their minds. A simple sentence can extend to eight or ten meanings in a matter of minutes. They are like little adults and tend to think more about things.

Sirius, who received the most orthodox aristocratic education since childhood, took it for granted that all people in their circle should be like this, so even if he was disdainful or annoyed, he forced himself to maintain the same habits as everyone else.

But, there are exceptions to everything.

James Potter was the exception.

Back then, the old Potter patriarch was very clever and defeated many suitors to marry the most beautiful girl of that generation in the Black family. They had a good relationship and then gave birth to the only child of the Potter family.

They doted on him to the utmost. Not only did they not arrange too many courses for him, but they even forbade him from attending various dinner parties because he did not like the temptations among the nobles. This cultivated James' unique style of behavior.

This is a proud and handsome boy who cannot tolerate a trace of dirt in his heart, but it must be said that he was brought up too naively.

Sirius and James have always had a good relationship due to their being of the same age and being related.

At first, Sirius was actually jealous of him - why was Potter, who was also an heir, not required to learn complicated etiquette or attend boring banquets? Why could he live such an easy and comfortable life?

Sirius longed for freedom. He longed to break free from the shackles that his family had put around his neck and to abandon all the rules and regulations. He cherished his friendship with James very much and did not want to destroy their years of relationship because of the house dispute, nor did he want to stay in the dull and boring Slytherin. So at the sorting ceremony, he got excited and told the Sorting Hat that he wanted to go to Gryffindor.

After taking off the Sorting Hat, he subconsciously looked at the Slytherin table. It was undeniable that he was a little panicked when he saw his sisters' pale faces and tears in their eyes.

But James was so happy, he ran up to hug him cheering. The people of Gryffindor were very enthusiastic, a kind of enthusiasm he had never felt since he was a child.

After knowing this news, his mother would probably be angry, right? Sirius thought carelessly, at that time he was fearless, he was the most outstanding person in this generation of the Black family, his mother spent so much effort on him, they would not give up on him easily.

However, the Black family's statement of severing ties on the front page of the Daily Prophet the next day slapped him hard in the face in front of everyone.

Just because he was sorted into Gryffindor, do we have to cut off ties with him?

He felt extremely pathetic, like a puppet being manipulated at will by them, and would be punished if he went against their will.

For a Black, a Black who betrayed Slytherin and his own family, life in Hogwarts was not easy. Not only did he have to deal with the endless temptations of the white wizards, but he also had to protect himself from "inexplicable" evil curses. Those who once greeted him with a smile because of his identity have now all changed.

However, fortunately, he is very strong, and thanks to the training he received in the Black family, he is always able to give due punishment to those who try to trample on his dignity.

The Black family promised to provide him with a sum of gold Galleons every year until he came of age, but that amount of money was nothing to a young master who was once rich and powerful. If his uncle who was also expelled from the family had not left him an inheritance, he would probably have no way to support himself.

When he learned that his weak brother was sent to the Dark Lord as a sacrifice and was branded with that ugly mark while still in school, his hatred towards the family reached its peak.

Although he had always disliked Regulus's cowardly appearance, he was his younger brother who had followed him since childhood, and he was still so young!

How could they have the heart to sacrifice him for wealth and fame?

They are all crazy!

He had to rescue Regulus from that house full of lunatics!

Then, he and James graduated, and he joined the Order of the Phoenix at James's persuasion.

At first, he just wanted to give the family a little shock, to wake them up from their unfounded dream, but he didn't expect that it would turn out like that...
