HP: Hogwarts, but pro-generation

Chapter 14: Brotherly Conversation

Following Sirius's gaze, Xia saw a girl with black curly hair holding the arm of the boy next to her. She didn't know what the other boy said, but the girl looked at him and laughed.

Looking closely at her exposed profile, she looked somewhat like Sirius Regulus.

Ah, it's Andromeda Black and Ted Tonks, it can't be anyone else, Thea thought.

I didn't expect to meet them here. Judging from Sirius's appearance, it should be the time when Andromeda had not yet eloped and fled the Black family for love. What is Bellatrix's situation now? Has she joined the Death Eaters or is she still in school? She really doesn't know. Thinking of Bellatrix's madness, Xia couldn't help but shudder.

Before Xia's shiver subsided, she saw another person.

——Bellatrix Black.

Caught off guard, Sia and Bellatrix looked at each other.

Just for a second, Xia quickly looked away from her. Merlin, she just looked at her a little longer!

What an amazing perception.

Xia turned her face away. She finally understood what Sirius had just done...

Fortunately, Bellatrix's current attention is not on the little girl watching her on the street. Most of her energy is focused on Andromeda in front of her.

Merlin bless Andromeda.

Sirius didn't bother to think about why his favorite cousin Andromeda was here with a strange man. It was just that now was not a good time. He suppressed all the thoughts in his mind and said, "Let's go, Xia."

"it is good."

What is this? A younger brother catches his sister secretly in love?

The Black children had a pretty good relationship when they were young, especially Andromeda, who was rare in her gentleness compared to her sisters. Bella became different after the appearance of the Dark Lord. She seemed to have found her quest and kept encouraging others to follow her during family gatherings. Sissy was very arrogant since she was a child, but because of their relationship as cousins, her attitude was pretty good.

"Xia, are you feeling better?"

Ander, who was completely unaware of what was happening here, was more concerned about his sister's situation. After getting Xia's nod, Ander felt relieved.

Seeing that the other boys still wanted to continue playing, Xia said, "Let's go home."

"Eh? Okay. Are you still feeling uncomfortable?" Ander's heart, which had just calmed down, became nervous again.

"No, I'm just a little tired after playing for too long." Xia explained.

Seeing this, the other friends agreed and indeed played outside for a long time.

Hopps's.

It was the first time that Anna and Lawrence let the brother and sister go out alone in the Muggle world. Especially since these children were not the kind of people who could sit still, it would be a lie to say that they were not worried, but when they saw them come back laughing, they felt a little relieved.

"Mr. Hopps, could you please take Sirius and I home tomorrow?" Because the fireplace in the Black family was not connected to that in the Hopps family, they could not go back via Floo powder, so they could only let Mr. Hopps take them back by Apparition.

"Of course." Lawrence agreed and was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the Black family's children would go back so soon.

"Don't you want to play here anymore? We agreed to go to the secret base tomorrow." Ender tried to persuade them to stay, but unfortunately he failed.

Regulus didn't really want to go back so early, but he had his reasons for going back.

Sirius, who had guessed something, did not refute what Regulus said. After everyone went back to rest, he quietly went to Regulus' room and asked, "Did you see it too?"

"What?" Sometimes Regulus really couldn't understand what his brother was saying.

"I mean Andromeda. You should have seen it, otherwise she wouldn't have suddenly asked to go back to Grimmauld Place." Sirius rarely did not laugh at Regulus's slow reaction. He answered calmly.

In the dim room, Sirius' eyes seemed much deeper than before. He stared at Regulus, trying to find something in them.

Regulus's thoughts drifted away as he was being stared at. Sirius was indeed a real Black. He looked no different from the Black family he had been trying to get rid of. However, what interrupted his thoughts was what Sirius said next.

"Have you seen Bella?"

"What--?" Regulus was a little out of control. He jumped up from the bed and let out a low growl at Sirius who was still sitting.

"Bella? Merlin - we should go back now. Oh, Sirius, why didn't you say so earlier?"

He walked anxiously. Bella didn't know when she started to become a little crazy. Now they found that Andromeda, their engaged cousin, was very close to a man. If she was a pureblood, it would be fine. But if she was not...

"Merlin..." Regulus knew what kind of person his uncle Signus was, and he also knew what kind of punishment he would receive if he didn't obey the family's wishes. Thinking about what might happen next, he was really...

"Don't worry, Rael." Sirius was still calm. Maybe things were not as bad as he thought. Even if the other party was really a Muggle, he just had to escape from the family before being exposed. But the difficulty lay with Bella.

"Oh, yes. No need to worry - if Bella is just going to visit the Muggle world!"

As soon as this was said, Sirius fell silent. They all knew that this was impossible. Although Regulus had always been called a good boy, Sirius, who grew up with him, knew that it was just because he had always been rebellious and Regulus didn't want to make Walburga more sad. Regulus could still be taken to the Muggle world by Shia to eat Muggle food, but Bella couldn't be attracted to Andromeda to go there.

The atmosphere was a little quiet for a while. Regulus couldn't understand. From the perspective of the family, Andromeda's marriage was the best and most advantageous one - a marriage with a pure-blood family. But why, why would it be with a...

He asked: "But why did Andromeda break the engagement?"

"Leier, do you really think that marrying someone you don't know is a good choice?"

"I, I don't know, but Mom and Dad..."

"Oh, you don't know how they get along, do you?"

"Then...what about Sissy and Malfoy?" Regulus still didn't want to give up. He tried to find a fulcrum that could support him.

"They are just exceptions. Can't you see the difference among so many pure-blood marriages? Leir, don't deceive yourself."

"I didn't!" Regulus didn't want to admit that he damn well found that Sirius seemed to be right, "But for the family..."

"Of course, for the family. But Leir, I hope you can not put the family in such an important position." Seeing that his brother was getting a little emotional again, Sirius waved his hand at him soothingly, "What I mean is, if you meet a girl you like, I hope you will not give up this relationship because of the family."

"Oh, Sirius." Regulus blushed a little at what Sirius said.

"It's nothing. You'll be eleven in a little while, and they'll bring up your engagement."

Regulus sat on the bed deflated, "I know, so..." Regulus did not say the next words. He pessimistically found that he really seemed to have nothing to say.

Sirius just patted his head and said, "Okay, don't think about it. Go to bed early."

Then he walked out of Regulus' room and returned to his own room. He thought about what would happen if this happened to him - breaking the engagement - although he didn't have an engagement now, he would still be in the same situation, but he would definitely not obey the arrangement.

That night, the two Black brothers tossed and turned, thinking about this matter. Perhaps they thought about it for too long and fell asleep without realizing it.
