[HP] Aunt of the Savior

The news of Professor Caron's death shocked everyone.

The "Daily Prophet" report mentioned that the body of Professor Caron, who had been dead for several days, was found in his home. The cause of death was suspected to be an attack by a black wizard.At the same time, this report also questioned the level of professors appointed by Hogwarts-the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts was killed so easily, and did not even leave any clues to help the Aurors track down the murderer.

This report is obviously unfair.Although Professor Cuaron may not be the best and most powerful wizard, he is undoubtedly a serious and responsible professor whose personality and ability are very suitable for teaching students.

"This report is too much." Lily wiped her tears and said angrily. "How can there be such a report? It doesn't respect the facts at all, let alone Professor Caron..."

"Look at the words in this newspaper. Could it be that the current Ministry of Magic is so useless that it needs the help of the dead to catch criminals?" Sirius glanced at the report and said disdainfully. "Is this the level of journalists that the Daily Prophet employs now? Look who the author is—intern reporter, Rita Skeeter—that sounds like a stupid name."

"That's why my family never subscribes to newspapers." James curled his lips. "There's no need to read those stupid things written in newspapers. Those guys don't have their own brains except for putting makeup on the ass of the Ministry of Magic, don't they?"

"Watch your words at the dinner table, James Potter." Mrs. Potter reminded her son, but the way she reminded her clearly indicated that she completely acquiesced to this point of view.

Although Dumbledore published an article in the newspaper the next day to refute Rita Skeeter's report, the news still cast a shadow over the otherwise relaxed and happy holiday life, and almost everyone had a A very strong sense of crisis.Although the Potters have repeatedly reassured their children that Hogwarts is very safe, they also agree that it is not a bad thing for children to work harder.

— not mentioned in the report, but still visible in the blurred photo attached is a terrifying sign hovering over Professor Cuaron's house.Almost most wizards knew that this mark had not appeared for the first time.

Lily and Snape stayed at the Potters' house until August before taking the Knight Bus home together, and Lily insisted on trying this exhilarating-sounding mode of transportation.Sirius left earlier. In fact, on the third day after the report of Professor Cuaron's murder was published, Alphard Black visited Potter's house to pick Sirius up.His face looked ugly, and he took Sirius to Apparate away in a hurry, and he didn't even chat with Mr. Potter or try Mrs. Potter's special tea like last year.

After Sirius left, the lonely James was a little sullen: no one laughed with him about Snape's never-changing wizard robes and his always sullen face.Bored, he began to try to join his younger sister's small circle, preparing to put his previous rhetoric into practice.But he didn't know if it was an illusion, he always felt that Jody was blocking him from getting close to Evans, but he didn't mind Evans getting along with Snape.Under such circumstances, Snape was undoubtedly more of an eyesore in James' eyes.He wrote a letter to Sirius, but he did not receive a reply from Sirius for a long time.

Sirius really didn't have time to write back to James, he was now undergoing strict standard etiquette training to ensure that he would not embarrass the Black family at Narcissa's wedding to the Malfoys.What annoyed him even more was that in order to prepare for the wedding, Lucius Malfoy and Bellatrix, who had become Mrs. Lestrange, would visit his home from time to time.Sirius avoided every occasion like this, he felt that even if his family didn't treat him as a disgrace and air, just hearing them speak in that pretentious manner made him want to throw up sick .

"They only think of me when they're worried about embarrassing me." Lucius and the rest of the Black family were discussing the wedding—God knows how they had so much to confirm, while Sirius was talking in the hallway of their house. Alphard complained that this was the only ally he had in the family. "Uncle Alphard, except you."

Alphard patted Sirius on the back, his usual cheerful and smiling face was full of indescribable complex emotions: "Listen, Sirius, I know this may be difficult for you, But at some point, we have to make some compromises to our situation for a while."

"And those... lunatics?" Sirius squeezed out such a word through his teeth, suppressing his anger as much as possible.

"Oh, kid, don't say that about your parents." Alphard said slightly reproachfully. "Although I understand that you feel uncomfortable, since you entered Gryffindor they have..."

"I don't regret it at all now, on the contrary, I'm very happy." Sirius interrupted Alphard's words forcefully, he didn't want to hear his uncle talk about the change in his treatment at home in a pitiful tone, That would only embarrass him more.

Alphard sighed and forced a smile: "Yes, I'm glad you at least made good friends in Gryffindor."

The two looked at the door of the living room together, and they were very clear that there was no place for Sirius in that spacious and comfortable living room.Unless he was now willing to choose pure blood, follow the Dark Lord and indulge in the dark arts, but that was impossible.

The mother of Sirius and Regulus, Mrs. Walburga Black, didn't think about what her eldest son was doing at this time, but just looked at her younger son with a doting face. "I can't believe that our little Rael has grown up to be so good and outstanding in school."

"Of course, isn't it?" Orion Black, the head of the Black family, was smoking a pipe with joy on his face. "That's what being a Black should be like. But, Lucius, I mean, is this really okay? You know, Rael is only in the third grade."

"Oh, Mr. Black, please believe me, blood is the first condition that determines whether a person is qualified for certain positions. Age will always increase, and experience and knowledge can be continuously accumulated in this process. Only blood is the only thing that cannot be tolerated." Changed, the source of true nobility. I believe that with Regulus' performance, he is enough to take my place and stand at the pinnacle of Slytherin." Lucius was wearing a well-tailored robe, playing with the wand in his hand , the sound is as slippery as oiled.Sitting next to him was Narcissa, who hugged his arm affectionately, leaned on his shoulder, and smiled to match him.

"Of course, this is also the meaning of our master, the Dark Lord." When all the blacks present smiled proudly for their blood, Lucius added with a smile, looking at everyone's faces with satisfaction There was a little nervousness in the excitement.Regulus, who had never spoken a word, also had surprise in his eyes.

Narcissa's father, Signus, seemed very proud, because everyone knew that the Malfoy family had a very close relationship with the Dark Lord, and Malfoy Manor was one of the places where the Dark Lord often stayed.

"However, I mean..." Orion said with some hesitation, "Of course the Black family agrees with Lord Dark Lord's point of view. It is obviously necessary to purify bloodlines for the current wizarding world, but..."

This is a topic that cannot be discussed with Bellatrix, who is also of the Black family blood. Even in the Black family, not everyone can understand Bella's fanatical obsession with Voldemort.And it's disappointing that the beautiful Bella didn't impress Voldemort, although the equally pure-blooded and ancient Lestrange family is also very good as a marriage partner.

"I understand your concerns, Mr. Black." Lucius nodded, "Of course, people who hold the same views can be companions and allies, and they don't have to be regarded as masters. But following the blood of a Slytherin, For any Slytherin, it would only be an honor rather than a disgrace, because we pay him back far more than our little pride. In this regard, Bella is very wise Having made a choice, she is loyal to her master, and the master rewards her with greater strength—I think no one here, including me, can defeat her in a duel."

He looked around at everyone, smiled and continued. "In fact, we don't even need to directly rely on the power of the master, but only need a name-everyone should understand that in the school run by the protector of the inferior, old madman Dumbledore, if you want to get the Boys' Union A title like Chairman seems difficult. But in fact I did. Because the master is getting stronger and stronger, those lowly things dare not even support me, even if they understand that this may just be a Hogwarts thing Small things, but they will still be afraid of it. And this power will continue to expand."

Just as Lucius Malfoy said, an invisible sense of tension is spreading crazily in the wizarding world. The expressions on people's faces are tense, looking so serious, and Diagon Alley, which is usually lively, now also shows An unnatural depression.People are reluctant to go shopping at such times and prefer to stay at home.

Lucius Malfoy, who had just taken over part of the family business, launched an owl mail-order business in his store, which immediately became the first choice for shopping for most wizards, and other stores followed suit.While emerging in his career, Lucius' wedding has become another grand event that surpassed Bellatrix's marriage back then.Never before has a wizard invited Voldemort and Dumbledore to their wedding at the same time - and I'm afraid no one will be able to replicate it in the future.

However, Dumbledore's appearance, for Sirius, might be the last thing that made him happy this summer.

"I have never understood how Dumbledore defeated Grindelwald, but this time I really understand." Sirius couldn't wait to describe the wedding ceremony to his good brothers on the train to Hogwarts. The scene when Dumbledore appeared. "I never thought that Dumbledore could look so terrible, even though he was wearing a fuchsia robe that was a little too bright, with silver stars shining on it. He and Voldemort stood there looking at each other, and finally The one who stepped back first was that Voldemort!"

There was some disappointment on James' face, "It doesn't sound very exciting."

"You can't expect them to cast spells at each other at the wedding, can you?" Lupine said softly. "But Dumbledore is indeed very great."

"It's a pity that my parents still think Dumbledore is a fool." Sirius laughed and said, "In fact, they look more like fools. They didn't expect Dumbledore to really attend the wedding, and their eyes widened .”

James patted him on the shoulder for this unfunny joke, "It's a pity that Professor McGonagall discovered our bet last year, otherwise we would definitely make a fortune, right?"

Jody couldn't hear Sirius' description, but from Regulus, she still knew that Dumbledore went to Malfoy's wedding and then met Voldemort.

"The lord was not afraid of Dumbledore, even though everyone said Dumbledore was the greatest wizard ever," said Barty Crouch, who was also at the wedding.While speaking, he secretly looked at Jody, as if observing her reaction when she heard the words.

Doris, who was sitting in the corner, almost trembled, she could feel that Crouch's behavior made Snape feel very bad.These two people's youthful affection for Jody is not difficult to detect from the perspective of a bystander.Every word Crouch said, he hoped to attract Jody's attention.And Snape seemed to care only if Crouch did it.

But Jody, who was the person involved, didn't seem to notice this at all. She was always looking out of the window, obsessed with the scenery outside the window like a freshman going to Hogwarts for the first time, and she didn't even speak along the way.

When he got off the train, Snape's expression was so gloomy that he could almost drip water.

This year's freshman admission ceremony was still the same as before. Professor McGonagall put the sorting hat on the round stool, and the sorting hat began to sing according to the annual practice:

"I used to belong to Gryffindor, when I was just an ordinary wizard hat,

Gryffindor has three good friends, Slytherin, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw.

All four are great wizards, they all have incomparable courage, great strength, loyal character and wise mind.

They have the same ambition: they both want to build the best magic school in the world.

So four good friends created Hogwarts, and many lucky children had the opportunity to be taught by them.

They established their own colleges, each with different needs.

Gryffindor insists on selecting only students who are brave, fearless and not afraid of sacrifice. All the disciples under Slytherin's blood are pure and ambitious.

Ravenclaw only allows fellows who are equally wise and studious to join them, and Hufflepuff students are always representatives of kindness, tolerance, loyalty and integrity.

Gryffindor plucked me from my head, and the four founders injected their own decisions into my head - though you couldn't see it.

At first the four colleges were united and friendly, until differences arose, and quarrels and quarrels enveloped the school.

Faith deviates from the original direction, neglected shortcomings continue to magnify, and the original solid friendship fails to stand forever.

Slytherin left alone one morning and never returned to Hogwarts.

The sad story has gone away thousands of years ago, and only my thinking hat is left in the end.

I still stick to my original duties, but I don't know whether it is good or bad to divide you into four parts.

I'm afraid this will set you down a path of division in the first place, because I'm seeing the first signs of a breakdown.

Darkness is coming, danger is approaching, please remember my words before sorting,

Disadvantages often come with advantages, and evil often wears a beautiful coat.

Please don't lose the original justice and faith, this is a warning from the most loyal magic hat in Hogwarts. "

There was a slight commotion on the long tables of the four colleges.Although the Sorting Hat changes a new song every year, the lyrics this year are obviously different.The warning from the hat almost made the students look confused and confused, and even the applause seemed a little sparse.The first-year freshmen were even more nervous and almost trembling. Fortunately, there was a serious Professor McGonagall who ensured that the sorting ceremony would continue, but it was uncertain whether her serious expression would make the freshmen more scared or more at ease.

Jody rested his chin thoughtfully until Dumbledore began to speak.
