[HP] Aunt of the Savior

After Dumbledore invented the method of using the Patronus to deliver messages, it was the first time Sirius encountered a situation where the Patronus could not successfully deliver the message.This meant that even the Patronus couldn't find Regulus, and Sirius immediately became tense again.He anxiously threw away the female reporter who wanted to interview him, and hurried back to Godric's Hollow home with a glimmer of hope, but Regulus was indeed not there.If it weren't for the fact that the house had been cast with the Fidelity spell, Sirius would definitely think that someone had captured Regulus.

But now it seems that Regulus probably left on his own initiative.

You know, Regulus, who was already dead in everyone's eyes, could hardly go out. Although Sirius decided to teach Regulus the Animagus Transfiguration, this kind of magic cannot be learned in a short time.What would make the cautious Regulus go out at great risk?

Sirius walked around the room impatiently. He made up his mind that if Regulus hadn't come back at night, he would go to him, even Jody and Snape for news.

Fortunately, by evening, Regulus and Kreacher had returned from apparating together.

"Rael, where have you been?" After reconciling with Regulus, Sirius rarely showed such an angry expression.

"I'm back to Grimmauld Place." Regulus' words made Sirius' eyes widen.

"You went back?" Sirius couldn't believe his ears, "Why?"

Sirius' eyes were full of disbelief.After reconciling with Regulus, he realized that Regulus' feelings for Walburga were not as close as he thought-in the days when he lost his magic power, he would rather let her think that he had already dead, and no return to Grimmauld Place, which is safer than Spinner's End.

In fact, Sirius could fully understand Regulus, and with Walburga's character, I'm afraid no child could really get close to her.What's more, if Walburga knew at that time that Regulus had become a Squib because he betrayed Voldemort, he might have burned his name off the tapestry as well.To this day, he cannot forget Walburga's cruelty when Alphard died.Just like now, when they mention Grimmauld Place, they would rather use the address instead of the simple word home.After finding Regulus through Kreacher, Sirius always thought that they would never return to that gloomy house again.

"...I haven't changed my mind, but..." Regulus' expression was tense, and his voice seemed quite bitter. "Mom... is dying."

Regulus lowered his head, looking at Kreacher who immediately started crying loudly at his feet after hearing these words.The elf was very sad about it, big big tears kept rolling down the sides of his squashed pig nose, and he was blowing his nose on a tea towel and hiccupping.

It was Kreacher who had come to inform Regulus of the news.Walburga seemed to want it to bring Regulus back, but Regulus ordered Kreacher not to tell Walburga that he was still alive, so the loyal elf found Regulus Si, leave the decision to him.

Sirius was obviously stunned by Regulus' words.He froze for a while, and finally said with difficulty: "Did you go back to see her? Does she know that you are still alive?"

"Maybe she doesn't know." Hearing what Sirius said, Regulus showed a twisted wry smile. "Sirius, our mother... has gone mad."

"Become crazy?"

"Yes...she is confused and hysterical." Regulus sat down on the sofa and buried his face in his palms. "It's my fault...she just can't accept that I'm 'dead'."

"...She has always liked you very much." Sirius sat down beside Regulus, stretched out his hand and patted his shoulder, feeling an indescribable strange feeling in his heart. "But it's not your fault, we all know what our mother would do if she knew her son was a Squib..."

You know, when Orion died, he didn't go to the funeral - he couldn't go to a funeral where many Death Eaters came to pay their respects - and he didn't feel very sad.He only remembered that he captured three Death Eaters that day, and even Moody suggested that he could apply for an Auror job after the war; he also remembered that James accompanied him to the three broomsticks for a drink that day, and Lily lost her temper because of it , refuses to make dinner for two drunk guys; he has a good life, why should he care about the funeral of the man he disowned?

He thought that he should have known at that time that there was no relationship between him and his parents, and the coldness of his parents had already made him completely desperate for them.But in fact, when he heard the news about Walburga today, he found that he was not as... calm as he expected.

"She cares about you too. Come back with me, Sirius." Regulus seemed to see through Sirius' mood. "She's really not going to last long, I checked her and she's in terrible shape."

Sirius raised his hand a little irritably and stroked his hair: "...my presence is not beneficial to her health at all."

"What if she was still holding the "Daily Prophet" that printed your trial today when she was unconscious? She might still want to go to the Ministry of Magic to wait for the result of the trial. I believe she still cares about you." Regu Les was rarely very tough.He'd heard how his mother hid and wept over Uncle Alphard's death, which convinced him that Walburga still cared about Sirius. "Sirius, please come back with me, I hope"

Sirius finally followed Regulus back to 12 Grimmauld Place under Kreacher's disgusted eyes.

"..." Standing at the door of Walburga's bedroom, Sirius could hardly believe that the woman lying on the bed was his mother who always looked superior.Her hair was disheveled, her face was gray, her eye sockets and cheeks were sunken, she was only wearing a nightgown, and she looked crazy.

When seeing Sirius, Walburga looked at him with a strange look, as if wanting to confirm the identity of this person.

"No, I don't want to see him! No!" Just when Sirius was about to speak, Walburga suddenly screamed, "I don't have a son named Sirius, why doesn't that rebellious son just change his name to Potter? ! He even broke Alphad! And killed him!"

Her thin, bony arms seemed to suddenly regain strength, and she grabbed the wand next to the pillow and began to cast spells at Sirius, but her weakness made the spells seem weak.Then she threw pillows and quilts at Sirius like a Muggle.

Under Walburga's frantic performance, Sirius had to leave the room.He stood in the corridor, listening to Walburga in the room yelling crazily and making a fuss before regaining his silence.These angry and familiar curses brought back his memories of the past. The scene of leaving home at that time seemed to appear before his eyes again. For a moment, he regretted coming back here very much.But then, in the room, Walburga's tone suddenly changed.She seemed to be confiding in Regulus in the room, but apparently she hadn't even realized that it was Regulus who was in front of her.

"You know, my little Sirius will be the best Slytherin, he will inherit the pure-blood noble Black family...Little Rael will be with him, they will be the best brothers in the history of the Black family, can they Bring great glory to the noble Black family, and never mix with those despicable Muggles..."

Walburga's confused ramblings recurred, and she mentioned everyone she knew, her parents, Orion and Alphard who were dead, Signus and Lucretia who were still alive, and the child in her heart. Little Sirius and little Rael.

This pure-blood witch who was once so proud and proud of her bloodline is now so embarrassed and weak.Even the best efforts of the elf and Regulus could not restore her sobriety or calmness.

Sirius bit his lip tightly, leaning his back against the wall, listening to Walburga's high-pitched and then weak cries in the room.Finally, the room fell completely silent, all voices, cries, growls, screams... all disappeared.This eerie silence made the time seem infinitely long, and Sirius felt that he could even hear his own heartbeat.

After what seemed like a century, Regulus came out of the room with red eye circles. "Sirius, she's dead."

Because of the prestige of the Black family, Walburga Black's funeral was a grand one.As Walburga's brothers, Signus and Lucretia, published a large obituary in the "Daily Prophet", some wizards who had dealt with the Black family all came to the funeral.

But to the surprise of the guests, Sirius Black was not present at Walburga's funeral despite having been restored to innocence.

"Poor Aunt Walburga," said Narcissa, wiping her tears.Today she and Lucius and their son Draco were also standing in the funeral procession, finally making the funeral a little less bleak. "Sirius is just...too much."

She restrainedly expressed her dissatisfaction with Sirius Black.

"Oh, don't forget that he has been kicked out of the Black family, and he is not eligible to stand here—even though we all know that most of the Black family's inheritance will still be passed on to him, the only descendant of the Black family, according to normal laws." Lu Hughes snorted coldly, obviously dissatisfied with such a law.

"It would be great if Regulus was still alive." Narcissa said sadly.They certainly had a better relationship with Regulus than Sirius.

Lucius frowned and said softly. "Unfortunately, he didn't make the right choice at the right time." As he spoke, he looked at Snape in the crowd. "And some smart people can always grasp the right timing."

As Head of Slytherin House at Hogwarts, it seemed quite normal for Snape to appear at this traditional Slytherin funeral.During the years when Voldemort lost power, the attitude of the Slytherins towards the dean changed from dissatisfaction to awe, not only because of Snape's own great strength, but also because of his often impressive presence in some important social activities. Amazing performance.Although Snape didn't like to be sociable, anyone who had been in contact with Snape knew that this cold man was not as unsociable as he appeared on the outside, he was an excellent Slytherin, there was no doubt about it.

"Severus." After the funeral, Lucius took the initiative to stop Snape.After Voldemort's disappearance, their relationship seemed closer than ever.In addition to the potion business they cooperated with before, as Death Eaters who also escaped trial, there is always a tacit understanding between the two.However, the number of times they met had decreased a lot, otherwise it would be easy to suspect whether these "former Death Eaters" were plotting any evil plans again.

But Lucius is very confident about his future life. As long as he is given a little more time, with the financial resources of the Malfoy family, he will be able to completely rebuild the status and prestige of the Malfoy family in the magic world sooner or later.

"Lucius, Narcissa." Snape nodded to them coldly.After teaching at Hogwarts for a long time, Snape looked more serious than before.

Looking at this gloomy man, Draco swallowed slightly nervously.Sensing her son's nervousness, Narcissa could not help wrapping her arms around Draco's shoulders gently.

"I didn't expect you to come to today's funeral." Lucius' tone was particularly enthusiastic.

"Of course, as a Slytherin...we all know why I'm here." Snape said coldly.Snape had no interest in putting on a distant and polite show with Lucius after everyone around him paid no attention to them.

"What do you think of what I told you last time?" Lucius smiled and said to Snape, "I don't think you need to stay at Hogwarts, you should have a better stage..."

"No, I'll stay at Hogwarts."

"Do you think it's necessary for you to continue to accept the protection of that old lunatic after so many years?" Speaking of Dumbledore, Lucius' tone was full of disdain.

"No, of course I don't, although I should remind you that Dumbledore is a very powerful wizard." Snape glanced at Lucius. "But someone would want me to stay with him."

"You mean..." Lucius immediately became nervous.

"You know who I'm talking about."

"No, it's impossible." There was a flustered expression on Lucius' handsome and delicate face.

"Why is it impossible? He will come back sooner or later." Snape's hand touched Lucius' left arm without a trace, and Lucius immediately took a step back as if he had been burned.But Snape raised the corner of his mouth like a demon, and repeated it again. "He will definitely come back again."
