Silhouettes of HP

Said what to buy for Regulus as a Christmas present. "

The betrayed Sirius: "..."

Harry tried desperately not to laugh.

At this time Kreacher just appeared, "Master, Kreacher has put the things of Master Sirius, Master Potter and Mr. Lupine back in the room."

Regulus nodded, "After taking the train all day, you should rest for a while, dinner starts at six o'clock."

The author has something to say: the recent income system is a bit disordered, and the income record cannot be seen

Well, mine, thank you when it doesn't smoke

Hey everyone, I have to finish writing before the new year. .

☆、Chapter 185

Kreacher and Dobby were palpably excited to see Harry's return.Harry walked all the way back to his room, and the moment he opened the door, he was startled by the decorations inside.

If last year Kreacher took extra care of Harry because of his background, this year he completely regarded him as the benefactor of the family.

So Harry looked awkwardly at the room decorated like a palace, and couldn't help thinking that maybe Kreacher had never treated anyone other than Black like this.

"Thank you." Harry nodded to Kreacher and Dobby.

Kreacher immediately burst into tears, "Master Potter praised Kreacher again, but Kreacher is not a good elf, Kreacher did not take good care of Master Regulus, Kreacher made Master Regulus always live in Mal Fu Manor!" Saying this, it wanted to hit its head against the fireplace again.

Harry nodded to Dobby to stop Kreacher, "Listen, Kreacher," he persuaded, "Regulus is staying at Malfoy's because he has important things to do, not because you haven't taken care of him. We all know you're a good elf loyal to House Black, really!"

Kreacher was held by Dobby's hand, tears flowed down his bloodshot eyes, "Oh, little master Potter is comforting Kreacher, little master Potter is the best little master!"

With a headache, Harry motioned for Dobby to take him away, and then sorted the books and clothes brought back from Hogwarts in the suddenly clear room.At five fifty, he went downstairs on time, but was surprised to see Regulus, Sirius and Remus sitting at the dining table waiting for him.

Harry nodded to everyone with a smile, and waited for Kreacher to bring his salad in order.

A few months ago, Regulus heard about the real relationship between Sirius and Remus from Harry. Although he was not good at interfering in his brother's private affairs, he felt somewhat uncomfortable about it.Meeting Remus this time, he began to secretly pay attention to the interaction between him and Sirius.

It was better to say that he hadn't been reminded before, but now with Harry's hint, how could he feel that there was an undeniable affection between his brother and his best friend from school days.

For example, although Sirius and Remus do not live in the same room, their room is next door, and they can meet whenever they want; when eating, Sirius only needs to look at each other, and Remus will tell him what he needs. Salt, pepper, ketchup, Sirius did not need to speak at all; and during the chat, Sirius and Remus had a perfect understanding, making the atmosphere on the table extremely harmonious...

Regulus suddenly felt a pain in his head.He had known for a long time that his brother was unreliable, but he didn't expect that even the person he chooses as a spouse is so magical, even the same sex, but he is actually... a werewolf?

"What were you thinking about?" Harry asked after the last dessert. "Been absent-minded all night."

Regulus came back to his senses, "No." He took a sip of coffee in a concealed manner, but his eyes couldn't help staying on Sirius and Remus.

Sirius was stunned by his eyes, "What are you looking at?"

Regulus didn't speak, and Harry couldn't help but want to touch his forehead.

Remus, who was looking at Sirius, also noticed the slightly weird atmosphere at the table.He stared at Regulus for a long time, "Did you...know something?" He tentatively asked.

Regulus' Adam's Apple rolled up and down for a long time, but there was still no sound.

Harry had the urge to run away from this table.

Sirius hadn't figured out the situation yet, so he said carelessly: "If you have anything to say, just say it, I'm a Gryffindor, don't treat me like you Slytherin."

However, before the words fell, and Regulus hadn't spoken, Harry was already heartbroken, "Godfather, you despise me again!" He said aggrievedly.

The accusation of "again" is a bit serious, Sirius hastened to remedy it, "I'm not talking about you, Harry, that, you know, I never cared that you were a Slytherin."

On the other side, Remus didn't pay attention to the playfulness between Harry and Sirius at all. He looked at Regulus seriously, "Did you know something?" He asked.

Regulus drank the last sip of coffee in the cup, and said hesitantly, "You and Sirius... are lovers?"

Harry sprayed the table with a sip of lemonade.

Comrade RAB, is it really okay for you to be so direct?

Remus raised the corner of his lips.Sirius' face turned blue and then pale, "How do you know?"

Harry summoned Dobby to clear the table again, and said, "We all know."

Sirius: "..."

Remus gently leaned back in his chair, "You guys, what do you mean?" Since he had made it public, he didn't need to hide it, so he asked with interest.

"That's it, me, Regulus, the Headmaster, and the Malfoy family..." Harry's voice trailed off.

Sirius was so shocked by the huge population that he was speechless.Remus was also a little surprised, "When did it happen?" He thought that they had never violated the rules in front of others.

Sirius frowned, "It must be a bloody snot!" he growled, "he's been sneaking and looking at us with evil eyes since we were in school..."

Harry opened his mouth wide in an instant, Godfather, are you serious?Since you were in school, you have...

Regulus was also at a loss, obviously also unbelievable by the newly received information.

Even Remus was shocked at this moment. In order to prevent Sirius from revealing more information, he immediately dragged people upstairs and turned his head to Regulus and Harry to express that he needed to have a good review with each other. school life.

Harry nodded with a smile, and sat back at the table with Regulus.

"How is the Ministry?" There were no outsiders around, and Harry didn't have to play the part of a 13-year-old again. "Does Fudge have any plans for the next thing?"

The corner of Regulus's lips curled into a faint smile, "Bellatrix and Peter Pedilou are at large, before they are caught, even if the minister wants to take any action against Hogwarts There will be no public support."

"So he's going all out to catch fugitives?"

Regulus shrugged, "Do you think he can catch it?"

Harry looked up.

"I'm just the acting director of the Department of Sports and Sports. I'm going to hold the Quidditch World Cup in England next year. I'm very busy now." Regulus said helplessly, "But if he wants to host the Quidditch World Cup next year Go on, at least give this matter an explanation." So Fudge should not have much energy to focus on Hogwarts now.

"By the way," Harry motioned to Kreacher to refill their drinks, "Speaking of Mrs. Lestrange... I saw her."

"What?" Regulus was obviously taken aback. "At Hogwarts? How did she get in?!" That's all as usual, aren't all four of you here at the school now?

Harry briefly told Regulus the main points of Halloween.

"No wonder Umbridge has been missing for so long." Regulus held back a smile, "She is worth it if the four gentlemen can do it themselves."

Harry spread his hands.

"But since her target is you..." Regulus thought for a moment, then pondered, "The defense here must be strengthened."

"It's actually fine, just be careful these few days," Harry stood up, "I won't be staying here for long."

"And then go to see Senior Severus?" Regulus winked at him, something they both knew.

Harry frowned, turned and went upstairs to his bedroom.

The author has something to say: Sorry for being late, I just got home

☆、Chapter 186

Early the next morning, Harry finally saw Sirius, but although Sirius tried his best to hide it, he still felt that the other person's walking posture was very different from usual.

It was Christmas Eve, and Kreacher and Dobby got up very early to prepare the evening meal.Harry originally wanted to cut a fir tree with Sirius and use it as a Christmas tree, but seeing that the other party was so inconvenient, he had to take Regulus with him.

The place with the fir trees nearby was still some distance from Black's old house, but both of them were wizards, and this was no problem for them.

By the time Harry and Regulus Apparated into the forest, the sky was already flecked with snow.The freshness of evergreens in the cold air makes people feel good.

Harry and Regulus walked in the forest, looking around for a suitable fir tree.

"Are you willing to accept Remus?" Harry asked as they walked.Shouldn't the descendants of pure-blood families pay more attention to bloodlines?

Regulus had no choice but to say, "This is Sirius' own choice, so what if I don't accept it? Do you want to follow our good mother and drive him out of the house?"

Harry wanted to laugh, "Now you really have the power, and Kreacher will be more than happy to help you."

Regulus raised the corners of his lips, "Honestly, last night I thought about when we were at school." He explained, "Mr. Lupine was really nice to Sirius. Sirius and Potter Mr. Lupine always helps to clean up the mess when Mister gets into trouble, and occasionally Sirius doesn’t come home at night, and Mr. Lupine has to go to him in the middle of the night.” So, it’s not like Sirius had a crush on Remus when he was a student. Reasonable.

Harry stopped by a tall fir tree. "It's a nice one, don't you think?"

Regulus looked up, and it was indeed a tall and luxuriant fir tree, "Well, I think it's okay too." He agreed.

Harry raised his hand, and a wandless spell hit it, and the top of the fir tree was neatly severed and fell slowly in front of them.

"It's amazing!" Regulus admired sincerely.

Harry smiled smugly, shrunk the fir tree into his space pocket. "So you want Sirius to be with a werewolf?" He continued the conversation.

Regulus shrugged, "With the wolfbane potion given by Senior Severus, I don't think the problem should be too big. You know this best, don't you?"

Harry: "..." Can you stop making fun of me and Sev?

Probably aware of his dissatisfaction, Regulus smiled slightly, "Compared to my opinion, you need to worry more about Sirius, right? After all, you will make it public sooner or later."

Mentioning this, Harry's expression suddenly became bitter, "He won't agree." Even if the current relationship between Sirius and Severus is barely justified and is no longer as tense as before, but Sirius accepts his godson. My lover of the same age is probably...

Harry sighed silently.

Back at 12 Grimmauld Place, Harry was still immersed in his depressed mood.He was so preoccupied with how he could get Sirius to accept Severus in the future that he didn't notice a mouse quietly following them into the protected area of ​​Black's old house...

But no matter how worried, life must go on.At least Harry's task at hand was to decorate the tree, rather than to think about it.

Remus had just returned from buying a lot of parasites from Diagon Alley.This time Harry didn't have a chance to go to Prince Manor to snatch Snape's collection, so they had to pay for it.

Regulus and Sirius waved their wands together, hanging the parasites on the walls and the banisters of the stairs.The light from the fire against the verdant green makes the whole house look much warmer.Old Mrs. Black swept away the gloomy and terrifying Gothic style before, and turned into a real lady. When Harry was busy walking around, he took the initiative to nod and say hello to Harry.

Kreacher and Dobby were in the kitchen preparing dinner for the evening, Kreacher dropped two eggs into the flour, and Dobby was looking around for strawberry jam.

Looking around, a bottle fell from the cabinet and hit a mouse on the head.

"squeak!"

The gray mouse was about to run away, but Dobby caught it in his hands quickly.

Kreacher put down the flour in his hand, "Where did the mouse come from?" It asked strangely.There were mice in Black’s old house, it might have been possible last year, but this year, especially after Regulus returned, the house has been cleaned spotlessly by them, not to mention mice, not even a cockroach might have.

Dobby shook his head, and just as he was about to answer "I don't know," Harry's voice floated in from outside, "What mouse?" Harry happened to pass by the kitchen and heard the conversation between two house-elves.

"Ah, this is it." Dobby handed over the mouse, "Dobby saw it in the kitchen."

Harry looked carefully for a moment, and then, of course, he saw that the mouse was missing a finger from its right front paw.He was a little surprised. He would understand if it was Bellatrix who said it. Peter ran over alone... No matter where he said it, it was very abnormal.

But in any case, now is not the time to think about these issues.

"Oh." He couldn't help sneering, "Since it's a mouse, it's fine to burn it in the stove." He said, and gave Dobby a look.

Dobby made a gesture of throwing the mouse into the fireplace.The moment it was about to be thrown out, the mouse suddenly turned into a short man with gray eyes and gray hair.

Without waiting for any reaction from the other party, Harry quickly stretched out his hand to conjure a rope, and then threw the rope at Peter's body vigorously. Immediately, Peter was tightly restrained.

Peter struggled a few times, and after finding that he couldn't break free, he tried to transform into an Animagus, but found that he couldn't use any magic power because of the rope.

When Kreacher and Dobby saw outsiders sneaking into Black's old house, they were so frightened that they immediately hit their heads against the wall.

"Okay, Kreacher, let Sirius Remus and Regulus come over together." Harry ordered with a solemn expression.Since the other party had already approached the door, Regulus couldn't hide this matter no matter what.

Kreacher disappeared instantly.After a while, the head of the Black family led his family into the kitchen. He was about to ask Harry what happened when he was attracted by the short man in front of him.

Sirius was the first to see the bound man clearly, and immediately rushed up to beat him uncontrollably.Remus knew that the other party had suppressed him for more than ten years, so he didn't stop him.

Harry had to be thankful that he hadn't used the Petrifying Curse on Peter just now, otherwise Sirius would have hurt his hand.Regulus didn't know why, he was dragged into the water by the Infernal Corpse before Peter betrayed the "Marauder", and Sirius and Remus went to Hogwarts shortly after returning, so He didn't know about the grievances and grievances of these Gryffindors back then. He only knew that Sirius was wrongly imprisoned because of Peter Pedillo's frame.

"How dare you come to Black's old house." Seeing that Sirius was tired from beating people, Remus said coldly, "Enough Sirius, there's no need to be angry about this kind of person on Christmas Eve."

"Shall I call Oro?" Regulus asked.

Sirius hesitated for a moment, "If possible, I'd rather kill him with my own hands." He turned to Harry, "If it wasn't for him...James and Lily wouldn't have died either."

Probably suddenly mentioning those sad past events, Sirius' eyes were slightly red, and even his voice was trembling.In Harry's impression, he has always been a lively and strong man.Whether it was fleeing for many years after escaping from Azkaban, or standing in the sun again this time after being cleared of his injustice, Harry has never seen him lose his composure like this.

"I know." Harry said indifferently, "I've always known." He hated the mouse more than anyone else in the past because of his escape, which kept Sirius from getting justice.But later, it was the other party who let him go on Voldemort's territory.

But the problem is, if Peter is really killed now or the Ministry of Magic is called, it will inevitably scare the snake. Since Peter is here, Bellatrix may not be far away. If she gets the news and changes the plan, she wants to lure Voldemort in the future I'm afraid it will be more difficult.

"So, what do you guys say?" Remus, who was still calm-headed, asked.

Regulus, who had been silent all this time, said, "If it is known that the fugitive from Azkaban escaped from me or was beaten to death, I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to gain a foothold as the acting director." The implication is still It would be better to call Oro.

"No." Harry shook his head and refused.He looked up at the other three, "Let's let him go for now, it's still useful for me to keep him."

Knowing that Harry had other plans, Remus and Regulus nodded in agreement, but Sirius was still yelling, "Let him go like this?! Harry, are you kidding me?"

Remus comforted him, "Relax Sirius, Harry will not do anything he is not sure about."

"But..." Sirius still wanted to say something, but was shocked by Harry's action and immediately shut his mouth.

Harry raised his hand, and cast a silent and wand-free Oblivion and Stunning Charm first.Then the bracelet Sirius thought was an ornament suddenly jumped off Harry's wrist, and turned into a big bright green snake with a crest of bright red feathers. It stared into dark yellow eyes and hissed at Harry. Said: [What's the matter, Harry? 】

The cold snake language made the other three shudder subconsciously.Especially Regulus, he almost thought he saw the Dark Lord again.

[Send him away, then follow him to see if Bellagini is nearby. 】Harry ordered, 【Okay, come and tell me, be careful not to let her find you. 】

【good. ] Hai Erbo shook his tail, then slowly swam out of Black's old house with the rope on Peter's body in his mouth.

The author has something to say: When will the landmine system be pumped up?! ! !

☆、Chapter 187

Herbo had disappeared for a long time, and Sirius and Regulus hadn't recovered from the shock. Since Remus knew about Harry's past, he wasn't surprised that he could speak Parseltongue.But Sirius was different. Although he knew that his godson was a Slytherin, he didn't expect that the other party had the same ability as Voldemort - he could speak Parseltongue.

In the wizarding world, snakes are a symbol of Slytherin House, and students of Slytherin House have always been considered evil and insidious representatives.And snake language is only a unique ability of the Slytherin family.In the past, in people's cognition, the snake language was only the ability of Voldemort, the terrible Dark Lord. Therefore, the snake language was also equated with the Dark Lord.

"Harry, you..." Sirius was obviously frightened, even his tongue was trembling.Merlin can learn a lesson, when he saw Peter Pedilu just now, he didn't lose control like this.

Although Harry didn't want his godfather to be prejudiced against him, it was better to let him know some things.Harry gestured for Dobby and Kreacher to bring drinks to the table, and then pulled the other three to sit down together.

"You know that 13 years ago, Voldemort wanted to kill me, but in the end he was backlashed by his own spell and disappeared into the wizarding world?" Harry asked.Since you want to explain it, just explain it thoroughly.

Sirius nodded, "Of course, James and Lily died that night."

"So, do you know why?" Harry's voice was ethereal, as if from another time and space.

Sirius shook his head.

"Because he made too many Horcruxes."

The word "Horcrux" has been given so much evil that most people don't know what it means.But Sirius came from the Black family, and the Black family, known for their black magic, never lacked books on this kind of evil magic.What's more, he knew that Regulus was dragged into the bottom of the lake by the Yin corpse to die in order to destroy Voldemort's Horcrux, so he was no stranger to this term.

Sirius couldn't help frowning upon hearing this.

"He has seven Horcruxes." Harry's voice was clear and cold, without much emotion, "I am one of them."

Sirius and Regulus gasped.

"Impossible!" Regulus lost his voice. "Objects containing souls are inanimate dead objects. I have never heard of using living people as Horcruxes!" Locket, he had read a lot of books about Horcruxes, so he couldn't believe what Harry said.

"I'm an exception." Harry explained, "He made six Horcruxes at that time, and his soul was already very unstable, so when he used the death curse on my mother, a piece of soul was attached to my forehead. This It's because I can speak Parseltongue." As he spoke, he lifted his forehead hair, revealing the lightning-shaped scar.

There was too much information, and Sirius struggled to digest it.

Regulus frowned, "Then you now..." If Harry was still a Horcrux, then he wouldn't die, and Voldemort couldn't possibly die completely.

Reminding Regulus, Sirius immediately looked up at Harry, "No!" His dark gray eyes were full of horror.Although he didn't want Voldemort to exist in this world anymore, he never thought of burying his godson with him.

Harry smiled reassuringly, "After learning about all this, the dean made me a potion that can help me dissolve the soul tablet, so I'm fine now."

Regulus heaved a sigh of relief, while Sirius had a complicated expression.Compared with his deadly enemy, he has done too little for his godson.

"Then how do you know this?" Sirius thought for a moment, then asked, "Headmaster Dumbledore told you?"

"You can say that." Dumbledore in the previous life was also Dumbledore.Harry thought irresponsibly.

"And that snake just now." Harry decided to make it clear now that he had said it, "That's a legend that has been passed down in Hogwarts for many years..."

This time even Remus was startled, "The Basilisk?!" Although he knew that Harry had been reborn once, he didn't expect him to be so powerful that even the Basilisk would be taken down after his rebirth.You know, that is the pet of Salazar Slytherin, one of the founders of Hogwarts!

Harry nodded.

"Merlin..."

"Merlin..."

"Merlin..."

One after another, the sound of gasping wafted back and forth in Black's old house, and several people in the house had apparently forgotten that today was Christmas Eve.

"A coincidence, I met it, and it was willing to recognize me as the master." Harry smiled slightly, "I will tell you the specific situation later, it is getting late now, and it is dinner time, Kreacher and Dobby are preparing for us It's been a long time."

Under the signal of the owner, the Christmas dinner was brought up one by one in order, except for Harry, the other three were just as indifferent.They were so frightened in the afternoon that they couldn't eat at all.

When the desserts were served, Remus finally couldn't help but continued to ask: "Does your matter of subduing the basilisk have anything to do with Lord Hufflepuff?" The only person involved is the current headmaster.

"She knows about it," Harry dug a piece of tiramisu into his mouth, the mellow aroma of chocolate and red wine diffused, making him squint his eyes in satisfaction, "but it's not because of her that I tamed the basilisk." He thought for a while, and added, "Don't worry, although you will die if you are stared at by the basilisk, I am its owner, and it will not hurt people close to me."

With such a powerful godson, Sirius could hardly cry.He had always thought that Harry would become the head of Slytherin entirely because of the snot-nosed man's favoritism and the reputation of the other party's "savior".After all, Harry was only 13 years old.However, tonight, he realized for the first time that his godson really has the ability to be the chief. Among other things, the basilisk who has lived for at least a thousand years will not admit any "savior".

He received too many messages in one night, and Sirius was still muttering "Merlin" when he went back to his room to sleep, and he never recovered from his shock.

Facing Remus' stare, Harry innocently spread his hands, expressing that he didn't mean it.

Back in the room, Harry rested for a while before jumping into the bathtub.Dobby and Kreacher thoughtfully put lavender oil in his tub, hoping he'd get a good night's sleep.

After thinking for a while, Harry asked the house elf to make an extra steak and cake and put them on the desk in his room, then went into the bathroom alone.

He had just buried himself in the hot water when a snake hissed in.

【How about it? ] Harry turned his head to Harper, and asked.

Haier poked his head out and drank a big mouthful of water from Harry's bathtub, 【I followed the mouse after he woke up, he was confused for a long time before he found his way back. 】

【and then? 】

【Well, you guessed it right, he did go to find Bella Gini. 】

【Then did you hear why they let Peter come to Black's old house? 】Speaking of Bellatrix, she probably wouldn't feel at ease letting Wormtail, who had already been seen through the Animagus form, come here alone.

[It's getting colder and food is getting scarcer. Peter came to Black's old house to scout the way and capture you in two days. In addition, they haven't eaten much for a few days. Peter, as a mouse, came to steal Things are easier, at least than a snake looks normal. 】

Harry thought about it carefully. If he hadn't happened to pass by the kitchen, Dobby and Kreacher might have thrown Peter out of the house as an ordinary mouse, and they would never have taken it to heart.

【Thanks a lot. 】Harry gestured outside, 【The steak and cake are already on the table, go to bed early after eating. 】

【good. ] Hai Erbo got into the bathtub and swam to Harry, rubbed his cheek affectionately, and then slid out of the bathroom.

Looking at the purple ceiling decorated by Dobby and Kreacher, Harry couldn't help sighing.

When will these messy things end?

☆、Chapter 188

No matter what happened the day before, the next day is Christmas after all.So Harry rushed downstairs happily early in the morning, and ran to the Christmas tree to find his own Christmas presents.

By this time everyone was up and watching Harry unwrap presents with great interest.

What Sirius gave him was a double-sided mirror, seeing the same thing as before, Harry felt a dull pain in his heart, and he tried his best not to show his sadness in front of the other party.

"Do you like it?" Sirius smiled.

Harry nodded vigorously, and gave his godfather a big hug.

The gifts from Remus and Regulus were placed next to Sirius. Harry opened them and saw that they were a self-correcting quill and a set of sterling silver Quidditch balls.

"Thank you." Harry smiled and expressed his gratitude to the two.

Just as Remus was about to speak, an owl with countless gift boxes tied to its feet flew in and landed on their Christmas tree.

"Qiqiu?" Regulus tried to shout, he had seen this owl in Malfoy Manor before.

Qiuqiu raised her head, her haughty expression was exactly the same as that of a certain platinum peacock.

Harry couldn't help laughing.Sirius snorted coldly at it.

Regulus put down the gift box on its feet to distribute to everyone, and asked Kreacher to feed it some nuts and water.Harry took the opportunity to go upstairs, took down the gifts prepared for Draco and Snape, and asked Qiuqiu to take them back together.He originally wanted Hedwig to come, but now it seems unnecessary.

Qiuqiu brought gifts not only from the Malfoy family, but also from Snape and Regulus.Harry picked out his share and immediately hopped happily back to his room.Sirius and Remus were left looking at each other.

"Hey……"

"Hey……"

Sirius was sad.When will my godson forget about that snot-nosed man?

Harry had his lover's gift in his hand, but he had no time to care about his godfather's mood.He returned to his bedroom, closed the door, and began to unpack the gift box.

Ever since he became the heir of Slytherin, he basically had no shortage of things. This summer, Snape didn't even give him a birthday present.Without a birthday present, he certainly wouldn't have much hope for a Christmas present.So today he was quite surprised to see the gift box with the other party's name written on it.

The dark purple gift box was packed so tightly that Harry couldn't wait to open it with his hands and feet.After finally tearing off the layers of wrapping paper on the left, a leaf that had been made into a specimen appeared in front of his eyes.

Harry was a little dazed.He carefully flipped through the box, only to see that there was a piece of paper inside, with Snape's slender and powerful handwriting on it - 24th, December, 1992.

He froze for a moment, then quickly understood.

On this day last year, they had kissed under the shrubs at Prince Manor...

Holding the leaf, Harry couldn't help rolling on the bed.Snape was a master of potions, I don't know what kind of potion he used, but this leaf not only did not rot, but even the smell was as fresh as when it was just picked.

Snape was strict, sometimes bordering on impersonal indifference.But who would have thought that he would cherish his beloved so much that he would carefully preserve the things that witnessed their love.

All day, Harry had pink bubbles all over his head.If it wasn't for the fear of being noticed by his godfather, he would have held on to that leaf all the time, or simply turned it into a necklace and wore it around his neck.

Sirius was not an idiot, he could see that after seeing the gift from the snot-nosed man, Harry's whole body became lively and brisk.He was very dissatisfied with this, and the result of his dissatisfaction was that immediately after dinner, Harry, who was about to go back to his room to watch the mistletoe, was arrested and asked to teach him the Animagus.

Harry was naturally quite reluctant, but considering that Sirius had planned this matter for a long time, he couldn't bear to let him down, so he sat obediently in the living room.

Because it was the first practice, in order to prevent accidents during Harry's transformation, Remus and Regulus were responsible for guarding the whole process.

"The most important thing to learn about Animagus is to know the animal that is most suitable for you." Remus said to Harry, "Only when you find an animal that is related to your personality and body shape, can you transform yourself more easily?" Easy, Harry, do you know where you fit in?"

Before Harry could answer, Sirius had already spoken, "James is a doe. Needless to say, Harry must have something to do with the deer."

Regulus frowned, "I've never heard of it being hereditary."

Sirius thought about it carefully, "There is another possibility, this has something to do with the Patronus Charm. Harry, you know that your Patronus is..." Before he finished speaking, he automatically shut up.

When this topic was brought up, Remus also had a weird expression.

Apparently, the Patronus Harry had shown them in the summer was still fresh in their memories.

Regulus looked puzzled. He happened to be at Malfoy Manor the day Snape, Sirius and Remus taught Harry the Patronus Charm, so he was curious why they mentioned Harry's Patronus would have had such a big reaction.

Harry gritted his teeth. "There's no way my Animagus is a... bat!" he emphasized.

Regulus couldn't help laughing.He had no choice but to think that the image of the patron saint was either his own personality or that of his lover.Harry is enthusiastic and cheerful, and has nothing to do with the bat who lives in the dark all day.
