[HP] Five Poisons

"He was the youngest of their generation." Draco seemed to be caught in some memory, speaking slowly, "He was a gentle and quiet person, the exact opposite of Sirius' personality .”

"His paintings are great. He has painted for the ancestors of the Black family, and of course, other members of the Black family."

"I once saw a painting of him in my mother's study, and my mother said that if he hadn't been born in Blake, he might have become a master of painting."

"His last painting was a gift for Sirius. It was delivered by an owl on the day Sirius entered school." Speaking of this, Draco was silent for a long time before continuing. "That night, the Black family received the news that Sirius had entered Gryffindor. Since then, he hasn't painted any more."

Regulus thought Sirius would enter Slytherin like everyone else in the Black family, and the painting showed Sirius in a Slytherin uniform.

Unfortunately, after that day, everything changed.

Chi Mo stared at the black tea in the teacup in a daze, wondering what he was thinking.

Draco moved his lips, trying to comfort him, but he didn't know what to say. He was not familiar with this little uncle who had never met before, and all his knowledge of the latter came from his mother's memories.

The deceased is gone, no amount of comfort is pale, and it has no effect except to make the person who cares about the other party even more disappointed.

For a moment, Draco fell silent.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became heavy.

Malfoy Manor—

"...Merlin."

Narcissa looked at the man in the shadow in disbelief, thinking that she must be hallucinating.She closed her eyes, opened them again, and looked at the flower stand again as if to verify.

The man was still standing where he was.

Narcissa clenched her hands tightly, trying to say the name that came to her lips, but found that her voice was hoarse. She stared blankly at the paler and thinner face than she remembered. Yes, my eyes suddenly turned red.

"I found that, in fact, I didn't know him at all."

Chi Mo looked at Draco and said softly, "I don't know anything about him, but what I know about him is only a few words mentioned in the newspaper. In the showroom, there is an extremely short sentence Introduction." The Regulus he knew was the Regulus who had already experienced the darkest part of his life. He only knew the man standing in front of him now. He was mature, steady, calm and wise. He knew how to Using the bargaining chips in his hands, how to deploy the next step that is always one step ahead of others... What he knew was the transformed Regulus, but he knew nothing about the past Regulus Black.

Draco looked at Chi Mo and didn't speak. He knew very well that Chi Mo didn't need his answer now.The only thing he can do is to be with him.

Chi Mo continued to talk, as if he was talking to himself. "You said, what happened to make a person change so much?"

Chi Mo suddenly felt a little frustrated, "It would be great if I could come here sooner." He thought, what would it be like if he met Regulus 20 years ago, when they were the same age , so many things, can he face it with Regulus?

"If he knows that you are back, I think he will be very happy." Draco thought that Chi Mo was referring to not being able to return to Black's old house earlier, to the place where his father used to live, and he looked at his new The younger brother who recognized him said with a firm tone, "You are the most important person to him, so he will try his best to keep you safe. The present is more important than the past. Black's future is now in your hands."

Chi Mo was quiet for a while, then suddenly laughed, "He said similar things before." When they met for the first time.

Malfoy Manor—

Narcissa had already calmed down. She was sitting on her favorite rococo beauty in the study, looking at her cousin who had "resurrected from the dead" sitting opposite her.

After the many doubts in her heart were lightly brought over by the other party, Narcissa roughly figured it out in her mind. As a Slytherin, she knew exactly what it meant. She took a deep look at Regulus and didn't ask any further questions. .

Seeing that Narcissa stopped talking, Regulus smiled apologetically, but he was not prepared to tell this cousin everything. Some things would only rot in his heart, and there was no need for others to know.

Narcissa sighed, she had to admit that too much time had passed, and now, she couldn't understand her little cousin at all, "What do you want me to do when you come here tonight?" Chi Naturally, Narcissa would not fail to think of things that Mo Mo could understand, but the person opposite was her younger brother, so she chose to be tolerant.

Regulus didn't say much, but just handed over a document. Narcissa took it with doubts in her eyes, glanced at Regulus, and bowed her head to browse after the other party nodded slightly.

For a while, there was only a slight sound of paper flipping in the study.

After about 10 minutes, Narcissa stopped the movement of her hands, and her breathing began to become rapid. Although it was a few thin sheets of paper, she felt as if she was holding an iron ball, and her wrist trembled violently.

"Where did you get this thing?" Narcissa raised her head and looked at the other side sharply, "Answer me, Regulus, is it true what is written on it?!" She already had the answer in her heart, but this incident was too ridiculous. She felt that she had been in an illusion all night, and outrageous things happened one after another.

Regulus crossed his hands under his chin, and Ruye's pupils were inexplicably radiant. He looked at his cousin, who rarely lost his composure, and said indifferently, "The locket is in my hand."

"You don't have to have any pressure."

Although the person who said this was expressionless, Chi Mo still keenly saw a trace of worry in Draco's eyes. Even though the other party hid it well, he still noticed it.

He heard this noble boy who was one year older than himself speak calmly and indifferently.

"There is no need to take those clown's gossips to heart. Now, you are the head of the Black family, and no one can question your decision. The magic world has been quiet for too long, so those fools who don't know the heights of the sky and the earth will jump out. Come out and jump."

Chi Mo looked at the aristocratic teenager who was not familiar with him, and suddenly felt a little emotional. In fact, people like Draco Malfoy would live a very tiring life.Because he is familiar with the darkness of people's hearts too much, he is indifferent when faced with many abuses; compared with his peers of this age, he clearly knows what he should do and what he needs to prepare for it.

Such a person may encounter a trough in life once or twice, but he will get up quickly, because he does not have time to stay in the pit for too long.

Draco's current appearance is really far from the appearance that Chi Mo happened to meet in Hogwarts. Chi Mo suddenly became curious, and didn't understand how such a precocious boy would always be so confused every time he met Harry. It will change instantly.

So he asked quite curiously, "Did anything happen between you and Harry?"

Malfoy Manor—

"So, Hufflepuff's gold cup is now in the vault of the Lestrange family?" After the initial shock, Narcissa returned to her usual haughty look, looking at the cup in her hand thoughtfully. The document reads, "The Lestrange family has long since died, and Bella and his wife are both squatting in Azkaban now, unless..." She purposely blurred out certain words, "Otherwise They can only stay there until they die, and according to the existing laws of the British wizarding world, all their property will be confiscated."

Regulus chuckled, "That's really a pity."

Narcissa nodded slightly, "It's really a pity."

"If there are no accidents in the middle, the things of the Lestrange family will eventually enter the treasury of the British Ministry of Magic. For the Ministry of Magic, it is a good thing." Lestrange, which has been passed down for a century, Fudge should Would be too happy to sleep at night if, well, he was still the Minister for Magic.

Narcissa glanced at Regulus, and said meaningfully, "You also said, if there are no accidents."

Regulus pointed out, "The accident has already happened, hasn't it?"

Narcissa frowned first, then thought of something, quickly realized and agreed. "really."

Dealing with smart people is easy, Regulus stood up, ready to leave.

"Wait." Narcissa stared helplessly at the man who left as soon as he said it, and felt a little uncomfortable for a while. After all, in her impression, Regulus was still the quiet and well-behaved younger brother.

"Shouldn't you tell Chi Mo first, what's going on?" Narcissa frowned, looking at the pair of black eyes that she could no longer see her thoughts inquiringly, "He is not your son, is he?"

Regulus stopped and turned his head, "His name will appear on the family tree of the Black family sooner or later."

Narcissa was stunned, and then dissatisfied, "I've never heard you mention it. Calculate his age, calculate the time, it should be not long after Draco was born, and you didn't reveal it at all." She looked bad asked, "Which family is the girl from?"

Regulus looked at Narcissa amusedly, "You also said that he is not my son."

The room was silent for three seconds.

Narcissa couldn't believe her ears, her eyes widened in surprise, as if her brother had four eyes, "He's a boy! Are you crazy?!"

Regulus looked at Narcissa, who was a little incoherent because of being too surprised, and nodded, realizing that he knew exactly what he was doing.

"Knowing that you still dare?!" Narcissa lowered her voice and gritted her teeth, "If your mother knows that her son is not dead but..."

Regulus looked at her calmly, and many thoughts flashed in his mind, which finally turned into a sigh. "You have also seen the family tree, you should remember what it looks like."

Narcissa's words came to an abrupt end. Of course she had seen it. On the tapestry, there were only two names left, her and Bella.The rest have turned gray.

Gray... Narcissa reacted suddenly, and looked at the man standing in front of her in disbelief.

"My name is gray."

Regulus smiled, his eyes blank.
