86. City of Literature

In the blink of an eye, it was December 12th. The animals at Hogwarts happily ushered in the two-week Christmas holiday, and the owl mail was extremely busy.In such a warm atmosphere, the depression on Sirius' face is very noticeable, especially during this time when the Prince of Gryffindor has been very sunny.

"Padfoot, what's the matter with you?" James was stabbed in the arm by his dear Lily, and then he noticed that his good friend around him was very unhappy.

Although the last quarrel was serious enough for Principal Dumbledore to reconcile, since the night of the full moon he felt Sirius' desperate rescue, James really put down his face and apologized seriously. Sirius also knew James very well and knew that he was just too much. Lily cared about Lily, and Lily helped him and Severus match up. Both of them tried their best to get rid of the barrier, and their relationship began to recover slowly.

Sirius looked at James distressedly, and sighed: "My father sent a letter asking me to go back to Grimmauld Place for Christmas."

"Hey, didn't you get kicked out of the house, Padfoot?" James blurted out, and got a roll of the eyes from Lily and a hard knock on the head.

Remus also had a concerned expression on his face. He and James had a difficult relationship, but he and Sirius still had a very good relationship. In addition, this incident was caused by Peter Pettigrew, and Sirius enlightened him very much. He is also trying to reintegrate into this small group, paying more attention to Sirius.

"But my surname is still Black. This means that my father only canceled my inheritance rights, but did not deprive me of my surname and sever the blood relationship with the Black family. Therefore, I am still a member of the Black family, and I am still recognized by the Black main house." Sirius mumbled.

Remus patted him on the shoulder in surprise. Didn't Sirius regret running away from home because of his prejudice against the dark arts before? Now that he knows his parents, he still admits that he is from the Black family. Shouldn't he be happy? "Padfoot, father and son don't have an overnight feud. Since they all take the initiative to let you go back, if you refuse, it will hurt their hearts."

Sirius gave Remus a sad look, which instantly gave the gentle werewolf goose bumps.

"They also said that Andromeda would also bring Nymphadora back to purify her blood, so I must go back."

Lily laughed "Puchi": "Sirius, you are upset because Severus stayed at Hogwarts for the holidays, but you can't pester him anymore?"

Suddenly, James and Remus laughed at him.

Sirius had a gloomy look on his face. He had already planned to spend this Christmas with Severus every day, so that he could confess his love on Valentine's Day more than a month later.But he had to go back. After all, little Nymphadora's success in turning into a pure-blood wizard is related to her cousin being truly accepted by the family. Little Nymphadora's use of the magic circle in Black's old house can correspondingly alleviate the pain caused by the purification. As a cousin, he should also take care of him, especially if his parents asked for it.

Sirius sighed towards Severus who was dining elegantly across the way. Even if he went to the library to find Severus now, he might be hindered. No matter how simple he was, he knew that someone did it on purpose.Rael had already told him that Rabastan would not return to the Lestrange family for Christmas, and besides being the head of the academy and needing to preside over Slytherin affairs, there must be a reason why Severus stayed at the school.

Lily comforted quickly: "Sirius, you don't have to worry. Severus wouldn't accept someone like Lestrange who has ulterior motives at a glance."

Lily is about to slap her chest to make a promise. She has been with him for nearly ten years, and she is very clear that Severus has an emotional cleanliness, and he can't accept pursuits with calculations. Even when he was bullied and helpless when he was young, he was unwilling to accept his neighbors The compassion of people and social workers.

Sirius also knew that there was no way to change it, so he had to cheer up, thinking that there would be nothing wrong with going home, and maybe he could find a Christmas gift that suited Severus's wishes.

On the professor's chair, from the moment the brown owl of the Black family dropped the letter, he secretly paid attention to Voldemort at the Gryffindor table. His wine-red eyes flashed proudly. He usually didn't care about it at Hogwarts, but since he How could he put a rival in love with Severus if he couldn't be with Severus during the Christmas holidays.

His lover is outrageously dull, if he doesn't make it clear, he will never think about that.Sirius shared weal and woe with Severus twice in a row, and he could obviously find that Severus had a better impression of him, so naturally he couldn't be negligent.

Regulus almost covered his face, his brother was so pitiful, he turned his head to look at Severus, the black-haired and black-eyed wizard didn't pay the slightest attention to Sirius who was obviously very disappointed opposite him, just Concentrating on using the meal in front of him, he couldn't help worrying about his brother's love life. In Severus' mind, there might be more potions in the cauldron than Sirius.

Labastan learned of the news that Sirius was going back to Grimmauld Place for the holidays that afternoon. A wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and all the little witches who watched were moved. The head of Slytherin House is still very attractive. .

No matter how reluctant Sirius was, he still got on the Hogwarts Express with his little brother who was sympathetic and joyful, and went back to Grimmauld Place.

Because most of the little wizards left school and returned home, Hogwarts seemed extremely deserted. Fortunately, there were hardworking house elves, and the festive atmosphere was still very strong. The auditorium was decorated with various Christmas trees, Christmas lights, etc. All kinds of fairies and elves are flying in the air, and many colorful magic lanterns are hung in the corridor. Occasionally, you can clearly see mistletoe when you look up, which makes some little wizards who are in love secretly excited.

This year, because the blood barrier between pure blood and hempseeds was broken, the wizards again devoted their energy to the technological development of the Muggle world. That night, after the five or 60 people left in Hogwarts gathered for dinner, they jointly held a very lively Christmas Eve carnival party in the Slytherin common room.

The cellar lounge has been expanded several times by the space curse. The long table is covered with desserts, fruits, etc., and there are various drinks suspended in midair. Little wizards sit together in twos and threes chatting and having fun, and there are even professors who stayed at school Get involved too.

Severus sat quietly in a dark corner alone, quietly feeling the passage of time. He had long been used to the company of Voldemort who was clingy after nightfall. Thinking of the empty dormitory now, he had no intention of going back to the dormitory. Thoughts, not even the beloved potion.

"Severus, why don't we talk to Professor Slughorn together? He mentioned you just now." Labastan walked up to the black-haired black-eyed wizard, looking at Severus quietly and indifferently With unusually deep black eyes, and a white and graceful neck that cannot be concealed by the ascetic black high collar, Rabastan's heart was full of evil fire, and he secretly calculated whether there was any omission in today's plan.

Severus got up calmly, and for some reason a sense of vigilance arose in his heart. The keenness of the double agent made it easy for him to notice that the way Rabastan looked at him seemed a little weird.

Slughorn looked at Severus walking slowly with a smile on his face, the youngest potion master who is now famous in Slytherin, this future who can even stand side by side with Voldemort to some extent The adult Prince family head.

In any case, he was Severus' mentor, and since the introduction of the wolfsbane anti-epidemic potion, his status in the International Potions Association began to rise, and it was all thanks to Severus and Voldemort.Slughorn couldn't help smiling even more sincerely at the thought.

"Oh, Severus, I believe that your achievements can even catch up with Voldemort in the future. It is only the achievements in potions that no one can surpass in hundreds of years." Slughorn admired his pride.

The little snakes around him also agreed, and Severus didn't show any arrogance on his face, and responded to the compliments from the people around him calmly, but he didn't have a good impression of this chubby, sleek and sophisticated mentor who was deliberately trying to please him .

It's not because he likes to be opportunistic or take advantage of famous students to obtain benefits and benefits, but because Voldemort's method of making Horcruxes is derived from him. Although it was Voldemort's own choice in the end, it is an extremely dangerous taboo book. It is obviously extremely irresponsible to give black magic books to an underage wizard.

Labastan complimented Slughorn gracefully: "Dean, I'm afraid that Principal Dumbledore may not have your achievements. You have been the dean until now, but you have taught His Excellency the Duke of Darkness and Mr. Prince. No one in Ranffindor Academy has been able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Duke of Darkness for decades. Even James Potter, who is known as the most talented in transformation, is just a guy with well-developed limbs."

The little snakes around couldn't help laughing. Although it was a carnival party jointly held by the four colleges, there were still a small number of Gryffindors present, and almost all the little wizards who were friendly to Lily Evans were once killed by James? Potter demanded a duel or bullied him before. Even now that there is no bloodline and academy prejudice, the little wizards still don't like the heir to the Potter family.

Especially the Duke of Darkness, the leader of the Death Eaters, once openly showed his disdain for Patriarch Potter in St. Mungo's. In the past half a month since then, the industry that has been passed down by the Potter family for thousands of years has begun to be squeezed out by other family forces. The Potter family is in a state of desperation. It is said that Doria Potter actually found Walburga Black of the Black family.

Although Patriarch Black has recently gained a firm foothold, it is wishful thinking to shake the Duke of Darkness. In fact, since the black-haired and red-eyed Demon King behaved like this, it can only be that the Potter family has completely offended this noble descendant of Slytherin. , even the patriarch Malfoy, who is regarded as the right-hand man, may not dare to speak out.

This made the little snakes laugh unscrupulously. You must know that when the colleges faced each other in the past, because of Dumbledore's favoritism, some small nobles were often ridiculed by the robbery group headed by James Potter. The Potter family is likely to be thrown out of the ranks of the top nobles in this major reform of the magic world, and they can't help but gloat in their hearts.

Slughall also laughed triumphantly, and began to tell about Voldemort's various outstanding performances at Hogwarts. More and more small animals gradually surrounded him and listened intently. The Dark Duke is the idol that all little wizards worship, It was a rare opportunity to learn about his teenage years.

Severus, who was sitting quietly by the side, also returned his thoughts to the black-haired, red-eyed man who reluctantly left early in the morning, and the childishness and reluctance he showed was both funny and sweet.Severus pursed his thin lips, avoiding the eyes of others, and reached out to caress the silver pendant on his chest, which was separated from the wizard's robe. His quiet black eyes were slightly closed, hiding the strange fluctuations in his eyes.
