HP Midnight Light

- October 1978, 8 - Greenwich, London

"I'm so tired." Hyacinth sat down on the newly bought sofa, hugging the cushions and curled up into a ball.

They spent the whole morning rushing in and out, directing the workers to put the furniture in the correct position, and finally Sirius couldn't bear it and used a cleaning spell to avoid the pain of cleaning.

"I'm so tired too." Sirius cheekily rubbed over, "Hug."

Hyacinth half closed her eyes, pretending to be asleep.Sirius backed away in frustration, then suddenly turned into a big dog without warning and pounced on him again.

"Ah!" Hyacinth opened her eyes quickly and jumped off the sofa, "Go away, Sirius, I don't want to hug a big fluffy dog ​​in summer."

"Wow!" the big dog barked a few times, trying to grab Hyacinth, but she quickly jumped back and forth between the sofas:

"You can't catch me, Sirius!" She smugly stepped on the arm of the sofa. Once, she jumped off a bridge in order to get rid of the punk she pissed off, and then she jumped like a gymnast. After grabbing the beam and swinging half a circle, it fell steadily into the bridge hole.

So Merlin was fair. He didn't give Hyacinth a strong attack power, but he made her good at dodging and running away.

"Wow!" The big dog barked in frustration, then suddenly stood upright like a human being and made a throwing motion towards Hyacinth.Hyacinth lost her balance unexpectedly, and the big dog immediately pushed her slightly:

"Oops!" Hyacinth fell down on the soft carpet with a thud.The big dog took the opportunity to pounce on her, and she was ready to be crushed, but Sirius changed back to human form in time.

"Are you still running?" He knelt down on the carpet, put his arms on both sides of Hyacinth's head, and looked at her with a smile.

This posture... Hyacinth blushed: "It hurts so much." She complained softly, "It's all your fault."

"It's the winner's fault, and it's all my fault." Sirius stretched out his hand and brushed aside the strands of hair sticking to her face, then brushed her eyes with his fingers, and said vaguely, "Your eyes are so beautiful, Hyacinth." Silk, like an opaque dream," he said in a hoarse tone.

"Oh, Sirius..." Hyacinth felt the oxygen in the room dwindle, "Did you put honey on your mouth?"

"I don't know. But I suddenly want to taste your taste." His fingers stopped on Hyacinth's lips, looking at her obsessively, and then suddenly bent down without warning, and touched her lips Printed a real, pure, erotic kiss, "In front of you, even Vivienne would feel ashamed." His hand slid to the back of Hyacinth's neck, "Is that okay?"

Hyacinth wanted to ask what was okay, but Sirius had propped her head up a little harder, deepening the kiss.He bit her lips lightly and hard with incredible skill, but when she tried to break free, he had deftly caught her tongue. When he sucked tentatively, Hyacinth's body was as if Trembling slightly as if electrified, Sirius immediately caught her reaction keenly and guided her to respond to him more and more gently.

"You are sweet--"

"Shut up," said Hyacinth, distractedly, "well..."

Finally, when he finally finished the long kiss and let her go, Hyacinth's eyelashes fluttered and her mind went blank.

"Are you satisfied, Missy?" He gently put her back on the carpet, lay down beside her and plucked her hair, asking in a lazy tone.

"Let me write you a letter of recommendation." Hyacinth breathed out, "You go to Hogwarts to teach 'Love Science'."

Sirius paused in surprise, and then he burst into a smile: "Do you like it? My lady, don't forget that your Sirius is a talented wizard, and—" He will Burying his head into her neck, he gently sucked her skin, "I've rehearsed it countless times in my mind."

Hyacinth raised her hand and stroked his hair: "Countless times?"

"Ah... It probably started three years ago." Sirius finally let her go temporarily, he fell back on the carpet and reached out to embrace her, "On the Hogwarts Express, you looked at me timidly, Like a little rabbit looking at a hound or a fox. And then—a thousand fireworks went off in my head, and then I suddenly understood why Prongs was stalking Lily."

"I was only 14 at the time." Hyacinth opened her eyes wide. "My God, Sirius..."

"I've waited for more than 1000 days for you to grow up." Sirius turned his head and looked at her. "Later, I felt that I couldn't wait any longer. Someone else would snatch you away."

Hyacinth smiled slyly: "No, James said that you wanted to give up—"

"Prongs!" Sirius gasped, "Okay, um... I just think what I'm going to do is too dangerous, and you, alas, you should be more suitable for a stable and peaceful life ’” he said sadly.

"I just want to be with you." Hyacinth said coquettishly, "Other than that, I'm not going anywhere."

"Well, it seems that I will be responsible to you for the rest of my life." Sirius smiled slightly, and he inserted his fingers into Hyacinth's hair, "Again?"

"No," Hyacinth immediately wanted to avoid, "I'm hungry."

"You can enjoy me as much as you want." Sirius restrained her movements, and said in a seductive tone, "You can do whatever you want." Liang, actually closed his eyes in enjoyment, "Yes, take the initiative, this is the first lesson of teaching."

"You are late, dear Roziers." The Dark Lord said loudly, but he would not punish his cronies, especially the Roziers and his daughter, for such a trivial matter, "Please sit down, Evan, Koni Leah Signus was just telling us about one of his great plans."

Cornelia sat down on the stone chair. Hearing this, she turned to Signus and tidied up her sleeves gracefully: "What did I miss, Master?"

After getting permission from the Dark Lord, Signus looked at Cornelia from a distance, with an unpredictable smile on his face: "I proposed a plan called 'Source of Life' to your lord. Suppose Cornelia Leah, if you have any impression, I mentioned in the black magic activity group that I encouraged pure-blood families to enter into marriage contracts with Death Eaters."

"Oh... that's true, I remember." Cornelia casually put her hand on the long table, "So, you improved on this idea?"

"Yes." Signus nodded, "The 'Source of Life' project is a complete idea... I think that the form of marriage restricts the development of pure-bloods, so I suggest that we put aside the constraints. Death Eaters As many offspring as possible should be bred with pure blood wizards to create excellent knights of pure blood for the Dark Lord. This plan will not only ensure the continuation of the blood, but also gradually purify our wizarding society. Ultimately, our ideas will be adopted by the entire wizarding society recognized by the world."

Approving expressions appeared on the faces of many Death Eaters—maybe they really thought that Signus was right, but naturally a large part of the reason was because their selfishness could be satisfied—Bellatri Max looked affectionately at her master, as if the Dark Lord would allow her to reproduce for him.

"Is that so... Then, Signus, you mean the marriage will be annulled?" Cornelia asked after pondering for a moment.

"It's not quite. For those wizards who are still free, they no longer need to get married for the sake of 'offspring'. And those wizards who already have spouses don't need to worry about wearing wedding rings As for marriage, it will still exist, and it does not contradict my plan..." Signus looked around the long table and said with a smile, "Two wizards can naturally enter the marriage hall because of love or suitability, But that doesn't stop them from creating new powers for the Dark Lord, I mean, love is a myth, but power is real."

His words pleased the Dark Lord, who looked at Signus approvingly, then fixed his gaze on Cornelia's face: "What do you think of the idea, Cornelia?"

"Very good," Cornelia's face remained unchanged, and she even looked at Signus with a little appreciation, "Signus has the courage to propose such a plan after only one day of marriage, I don't know if you will do it yourself Woolen cloth?"

"Of course, dear Cornelia." Signus had already prepared, "Master, this plan seems to be mature, but it may take a period of trial before it is officially launched. If you trust me, I am willing to test it for you." its feasibility."

"I have a little question, Signus," Cornelia slowly looked at every face at the long table, "I think you have also noticed that the number of men among us obviously far exceeds that of women, then How do you solve this problem?"

"Of course I have considered it, Cornelia." Signus took out a list from the pocket of his robe and unfolded it, "I have done a little research with the permission of the master. The source of non-Death Eater pure-blood wizards. As I said, whether they are Death Eaters is not that important, blood is the strictest threshold. As for those pure-blood wizards who oppose or resist, I think it is appropriate Violent restraint is absolutely necessary."

Cornelia took the list, and she read it sloppily: "You mean, Death Eaters can choose from it without restriction? Even this range can be extended to all pure-blood wizards—even if their The name isn't on it?"

"Perfect." Signus smiled pointedly, "but I personally don't recommend sharing—"

The Death Eaters laughed knowingly, and even the dark lord's narrow, crimson eyes had a grim smirk.Bellatrix looked eagerly at the Dark Lord, her beautiful face full of longing, and beside her, her husband, Mr. Lestlance, bowed his head.Signus is a wonderful man, and his plan fulfills everyone's deepest desires-the seemingly incompatible couple can find their own happiness, and the single wizard can have fun.As long as they are pure blood, they can fight for more women or men through their wands, and don't even need to worry about the arrival of children - they will become the power of the Dark Lord from birth, and their supreme master will carefully cultivate them They became the next generation of Death Eaters.

Morality and ethics are thrown out of the scheme, and all that remains is bestiality and evil.

"What a genius idea, Signus." Cornelia said with a smile, "Master, you really know people. I didn't believe that Signus was one of us until I saw this plan." Outstanding. Compared with him, the rest of my generation is a foil."

"You're too modest, Cornelia." Signus observed Cornelia's expression, and was inevitably disappointed to find that she didn't look a little bit different, as if this amazing plan didn't bring her a little shock — This is very wrong.Cornelia should understand that once this plan is launched and successful, Signus will be firmly established by the Dark Lord's side, and she, unless she can kill Dumbledore's Order of the Phoenix or capture the Auror Command, otherwise No matter what she did, it was impossible to overshadow his sharpness.

"Indeed, Cornelia, I am very much looking forward to what surprises you can bring me from Hogwarts in the next year." The Dark Lord looked at Cornelia with satisfaction, and Bellatrix beside him Naturally aware of it, she briefly recovered from her charming daydream, and glanced at Cornelia indiscriminately.She was just relying on her father's power, Bella thought lightly, when she left the ivory tower and stepped into the real Shura field, she would soon be defeated like all other self-righteous young people .People around the Dark Lord came and went, and were constantly changing, but no one sat firmly on the top spot like Bellatrix.

Before Cornelia could answer, Regulus, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "I have a question, Signus, is this a forced plan?"

There was almost invisible hesitation across Signus's face, but he quickly smiled: "Of course you are different, Regulus. Your union with Olivia will be... a godsend, It is the birth of another couple among the Death Eaters." He glanced at Lucius and Narcissa with a slight compliment.The couple stared blankly at their fingertips, as if Signus' words were just wind.

"Love is so beautiful, but also so fleeting, fragile and false." The Dark Lord's voice suddenly became high and cold, and his words echoed in the hall, "You may change your mind, Rhaegu, don't be so hasty assert.” He didn’t care about Regulus’ reaction to these words, but spoke to Signus again, “Wonderful, Signus… I don’t know if you have someone in mind ?”

Signus respectfully sent the list to the Dark Lord: "Master, your heart is mine."

The Dark Lord waved his wand lazily, and one name on the list was circled in red: Catherine Shafik.

"Just her, Signus... If you don't mind my willful decision..."

"Master, you never make willful decisions."

The Dark Lord's thin lips curled into a smile, Cornelia looked at Signus with a smile, and said again: "However, Signus, you just got married, I don't know if Margaret knows What will happen—”

Signus also smiled back at her: "In fact, Margaret is considering joining us, dear Cornelia."

"That's really great." Cornelia's smile didn't change, but the alarm bells were ringing in her heart.

She knew very well how much the Dark Lord would welcome Margaret's arrival. She not only meant an increase in members, but also represented that the Dark Lord would have sufficient reserves of potions.And this is exactly what the Dark Lord needs... Cornelia lowered her eyes, Signus might just be talking nonsense, and he most likely hasn't convinced Margaret yet.But she had to stop it, she couldn't allow Signus to further win the Dark Lord's trust.

-September 1978, 8 -Burstead Manor

Signus returned home after talking all night. His mother, Mrs. Bulstrode, was chatting with Olivia with an unhappy face. Seeing him coming back, she didn't say a word, and went straight to the next kitchen Check the baking condition of the cookies.

"What happened to mother?" Signus asked his sister.

Olivia replied briefly: "Margaret."

At this moment, Mrs. Bulstrode came out of the kitchen with a plate of cookies. She was obviously displeased: "Signus, she is bored in the room all day, either reading books or tinkering with the pile of potions." She heavily He put the cookie on the table, and handed Signus a cup of coffee, and then looked upstairs dissatisfied, "She should think about how to win contacts for you and lighten your burden."

Signus picked his favorite blueberry cookie: "Margaret needs more time to adjust to married life, don't mind, mother. As for potion science, it was her hobby, I will talk to you later. She said it."

Mrs. Borstead certainly understood the situation of Signus and Margaret. Signus was so busy on the second day of their wedding that she didn't even think the couple had time to communicate: "Perhaps you should consider A child, Signus. That will probably divert her attention from potions to family."

"It has to go with the flow, mother, not to mention that I want to focus on the Death Eaters at the moment. My lord praised me in public yesterday, if I don't take this opportunity to further strengthen my position in his heart..." West Gnass swallowed the cookie. "You know how many people dream of replacing me."

The effect of these words was so good that Mrs. Bistro immediately gave up the idea just now: "It's all up to you, Signus. Do you want to take a rest?"

"No need, I have a visitor later." Signus reminded again, "Margaret and I will have a long stay, so you don't need to be in a hurry."

"I know," agreed Mrs. Burst reluctantly. "Speaking of which, Ollie's marriage—?"

Olivia was looking down at the newspaper, but her attention had drifted to their conversation.

"I still want to investigate Regulus further. A year is not long. Ollie," he said to his eavesdropping sister, "don't blame me for delaying time. I'm doing it for your own good. You are my only sister , I must hand you over to a reliable person."

"Brother, I'm not blaming you." Olivia put down the newspaper helplessly, "I just... just hope that the dust will settle as soon as possible."

"I understand, Ollie." Signus said, "After I stabilize my position, the next step is to try to help Regu stand out. Now he is still at Hogwarts, there is no way to show his talents, but I believe He and I can support each other in the future. Speaking of which, some time ago, the Dark Lord secretly entrusted Lei Gu with a task. Judging from the implication of the adults, he is very satisfied with the results. According to the current progress, you graduate Qian Lei Gu will really have a place. At that time, even if I let you hold the wedding directly, I will be relieved."

Olivia listened carefully to her brother's words, his steady and peaceful voice easily erased her previous anxiety.At this time, Mrs. Borstrom also persuaded from the side: "We just want to investigate all aspects for you. In the future, you will be able to get tired of being together for decades!" She said with a smile.

Olivia's face flushed slightly, and she lowered her head in embarrassment.At this time, the door of the Burst house was knocked.Signus cheered up: "It's my guest, mother."

Mrs. Bulstrode beckoned to Olivia, and the mother and daughter retreated into the lounge, leaving space for Signus and his visitor.

"Miss Shafik." Signus opened the door himself. The witch outside the door was ordinary-looking. She was a year older than Signus, and she had already noticed this handsome and promising junior, so when Signus When Stephen came to persuade her to participate in the "Source of Life" project, she signed her name on the list without thinking.The ensuing surprise was that she had been assigned to Signus instead of some other old or ugly Death Eater.Thinking of this, Catherine naturally showed a happy smile:

"Good morning, Mr. Burst."

"Just call me Signus." Signus led Catherine into another reception room. "What would you like to drink? Tea? Coffee? Lemonade?"

"Anything you want." Catherine sat down excitedly.She knew that Signus had just held a wedding a few days ago, but so what, isn't this destined to be a relationship between them?Such a handsome, wealthy, promising young man, she would have no problem being his long-term mistress.No matter how you look at it, it's a 100% bargain.

Signus filled her glass of lemonade with ice: "Miss Shafik—"

"Catherine."

"Catherine, do you understand the significance of this plan?" Signus didn't want to circle around, so he went straight to the point.

"I understand," Catherine replied eagerly.

"Do you know what kind of relationship we have?"

"I know. I knew it long before I signed it."

"Although you have signed and confirmed, I still want to ask-you will not regret it? No matter what the circumstances?"

"I do not know."

"Are you sure?" Signus noticed her impatient expression, "Are you sure you fully understand and have thought it through?"

Catherine replied in a very confident tone: "Yes. Signus, this is a rational decision and not a momentary decision." She gazed into Signus' eyes, got up and walked over, putting her hand on her own. On the first button—

"Don't be impatient, Catherine." Signus stopped her next move, "Tomorrow afternoon, I will visit the house."

"I'm looking forward to your arrival, Signus." Catherine didn't care much, "I believe we will have a pleasant afternoon."

The matter is settled.

After dismissing Catherine, Signus slowly drank his glass of lemonade, and after his agitated mood calmed down, he walked upstairs.

His new wife, Margaret, was sitting by the window reading a thick book.

"Maggie." Signus politely knocked on the concealed door, and after drawing her attention, he opened the door and entered.

"You're back." Margaret put down her book and stood up and said calmly, "Thank you. Would you like some tea?"

"I still have to go out tomorrow afternoon, but I will come back early in the evening." He stared into her eyes, even though no one could see that he was downstairs making an appointment with another woman 2 minutes ago, "I will give you How about some ice cream pie—vanilla almond?"
