Regulus no longer had the mood to read. He felt annoyed at the thought of having to worry about Sirius's affairs.

He lay on the bed, covering his eyes with one arm, and uttered an impatient smack of his lips. What a damn sense of justice, he was just meddling in other people's business!

After thinking about it for a long time, Regulus decided to go to Sirius' room to see what he was doing. Thinking of Sirius's behavior of opening the door without permission, Regulus couldn't help but get angry. He thought that he was different from Sirius, a polite wizard who would knock on the door.

When he opened the door, Regulus was still in the mood to think about these things, but when he really walked out of the room, Regulus frowned slightly and said to himself that something was not good.

"Rael." A voice without any emotion sounded above Regulus.

All the emotions on Regulus' face were instantly suppressed. He lowered his eyebrows slightly and replied, "Mother."

Regulus had no intention of chatting with Walburga. Ever since she had mercilessly cursed Sirius and himself last summer, the respect and love that Regulus still had for his mother had completely disappeared. Sirius had never told him this before, and Regulus didn't dare to think how long he would have respected and loved this crazy witch if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes.

If he had not met the Hopps family, if he had not seen Walburga's crazy side, Regulus thought pessimistically that perhaps he would have respected and loved his parents all his life and followed in their footsteps, devoting everything to pure-bloodism... and even drifted further and further away from Sirius.

Fortunately, none of this happened. Regulus was glad that he saw what a healthy family was like. Only then did he realize that the love he had received from his parents for so many years was deformed.

Even though he was unwilling to admit his parents' fanaticism for pure-bloods, the education he had received over a long period of time prevented him from completely giving up his prejudice against bloodlines.

Just like now——

Just as the air was about to freeze, a familiar, somewhat crazy voice sounded, "Oh? My dear brother Leir has grown up. Is he no longer the good boy who called mommy?"

It was Bellatrix.

"Cousin Bella." Regulus still just greeted her and had no intention of chatting. He was just wondering in his heart why this cousin who had married Lestrange suddenly appeared in the Black mansion.

Bella seemed to know what Regulus was thinking. She rarely spoke to explain, "I am here for the master."

As she spoke, her emotions suddenly became fanatical. Regulus raised his eyes and glanced quickly. He still couldn't believe that the cousin Bella in his childhood memory would become like this. Bella was not often at home at that time because she was in school, but she would bring them some little toys every time she came back from vacation. Unlike Sissy who ignored them because of her arrogant character, she sometimes didn't take them seriously because she longed for power and strength, but she would also express her unique concern and care for her younger brothers and sisters.

But now, she has met her target, and she has become different...

When Regulus learned that Bella came here because of Voldemort, his brows jumped. He didn't know what was going to happen. His intuition told him that it would not be a good thing to be associated with this person.

Just at this moment, Sirius opened the door, their eyes met, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Regulus stood opposite Sirius, and he signaled Sirius not to act rashly. After receiving the message from Regulus, Sirius was actually reluctant in his heart. He pinched his palm desperately to calm himself down, but the blood in his body seemed to boil the moment he opened the door, and he spent a lot of effort to control his temper.

"Sirius." Walburga had mixed emotions when he saw Sirius.

He was her eldest son, and she had always been proud of Sirius. Even though he always went against her ideas, Walburga was never completely disappointed with Sirius. She wanted to force Sirius to submit through some special means, until he went to Gryffindor, a dirty place...

At this time, Walburga finally gave up Sirius. But Bella said that the adult needed... If Sirius could..., then would he not have completely tarnished the Black family?

This secret expectation rose in Walburga's heart. She looked down at Sirius and said, "What do you have in your hand? A letter? Who is it for?"

Sirius didn't plan to answer this lunatic, and Walburga didn't expect Sirius to answer her. She said to herself, "Is it the pureblood from the Hopps family? It's a pity that they are all Gryffindors."

Sirius's originally restrained emotions fell apart at this moment. He would not allow Walburga to judge Xia in such a tone. What right did she have!

Walburga ignored Sirius's glare. Bellatrix was interested. She said, "Hopps? Your relationship with her..."

"enough!"

Her words were interrupted by Sirius's roar. She sneered. Out of a little concern, Bellatrix disappeared from the spot after warning Sirius not to forget Black's identity.

Walburga didn't care about Bella's behavior. She said in a condescending manner: "You should be thankful that Hopes is a pure blood."

Then she went downstairs as well, leaving Regulus alone to hold Sirius tightly, reminding him that he would be going to the Hopes' house tomorrow, and at least not to cause any trouble now.

After much persuasion from Regulus, Sirius slammed the door. Regulus finally breathed a sigh of relief. Yes, it was a good thing that Xia was a pure-blood.
