Chapter 175 No Candy
"The Black family is always pure."
As the heir of the Black family, Sirius was strictly required to do everything that was in line with his status since he was a child.
His mother was as paranoid as a lunatic and always hysterically emphasized to him the importance of pure blood.
In her opinion, any wizard who is not a pure-blood is dirty and lowly.
The name of the heir of the Black family was like a shackle, strangling Sirius tightly and making it impossible for him to breathe.
When Sirius was seven years old, Walburga discovered the dog that Sirius secretly kept in the yard and killed the dog in front of Sirius. Sirius finally exploded.
He had a big fight with his mother and ran away from the Black estate.
That was the first time Sirius felt free.
He met James.
The child of a traitor in the pure-blood family in the eyes of his mother.
He and James hit it off right away, as if James was his brother. James was like the unrestrained wind, and Sirius liked his personality very much.
"Sirius, you shouldn't make your mother angry."
When Sirius sneaked back home late at night, he was blocked at the bedroom door by Regulus.
His dark eyes showed seriousness. Although he was one year younger than him, he pretended to be mature.
Sirius didn't like his younger brother. Although they were both children of the Black family, Regulus was not forced to study by his mother like him. However, he was still so old-fashioned and ignorant, always thinking about pleasing his mother and having no self at all.
"Are you done? You can leave if you're done."
He pushed Regulus away and said impatiently, "I'm not like you. I don't have any temper when my pet is thrown to death by its mother. It's your business if you are willing to be Black's puppet. Don't expect me to be like you.
I will never give in to her!"
Sirius walked into the room and glanced back at Regulus.
The doorway was dim, and Regulus stood where the light could not reach. His figure seemed a little lonely, as if he had merged into the darkness.
He closed the door, not wanting to look at his brother anymore.
You are so lucky, why don’t you know how to cherish it?
Sirius didn't like the atmosphere at home. Every time he saw his mother getting hysterical because of his disobedience, he actually felt a little happy.
It was like breaking through a corner of the shackles that were wrapped around me.
He didn't understand why pursuing pure blood would turn him into a madman, and he didn't want to turn himself into a madman.
So he chose Gryffindor House like James.
This behavior unsurprisingly angered his mother, but he was very happy because he was free in school and no one emphasized pure blood all the time.
Until Regulus entered school, he often conveyed his mother's words to him, like a soulless "good boy", and Sirius hated him very much.
Especially when she found out that he had joined the Death Eaters, her disgust reached its peak.
And now someone told him that his brother was not a coward.
He was braver than himself and even risked his life to fight against Voldemort.
Sirius was a little confused. All his judgments of the past ten years were overturned.
He realized how narrow-minded he was and how he always looked at his brother with prejudice.
"Cough cough."
James slammed his hand hard, breaking the awkward atmosphere in the room.
He sat down beside Regulus' bed, held his hand which had turned purple due to the poisoning, and said seriously, "Since Regulus was injured in the fight against Voldemort, he is our hero.
We can't let the hero down, so I suggest! I sleep with Regulus tonight, and I'll take care of him here."
As he said this, he lifted up Regulus's blanket and planned to lie down in it.
The bed is so big, he wants to sleep in the middle.
other people:"……"
The originally somewhat subtle atmosphere instantly became relaxed after James interrupted it.
Snape's mouth twitched, and he said in a deep voice: "Who allowed you to live here? You should go back to your dormitory."
"I don't want to go back. I just want to stay here."
James raised his chin and looked at Snape, "You are not a professor, why do you care so much? I believe Professor Su is such a good person, he will definitely agree to our request."
"She won't agree," said Snape.
"You're not a professor, how do you know what he's thinking?" James retorted subconsciously.
Snape opened his mouth, then swallowed back the words that were about to come out.
These two idiots sure aren't going to keep a secret well.
"Professor McGonagall will never agree to you not returning to the dormitory." He said coldly.
"I have to take care of my brother here. If you want to go and complain to Professor McGonagall, go ahead. I'm not afraid of losing points anyway."
Sirius stood up and looked at him firmly, as if he would step over his dead body if Snape wanted to drive him out.
Snape frowned slightly, his thin lips pressed into a straight line, looking at the two stubborn guys in the room.
I know it's useless to reason with them, unless I use force.
"You can stay here if you want, but you are not allowed to leave this room and disturb others, otherwise I will never let you go."
Snape turned and closed the door, not wanting to see these two people at all.
Looking at the closed door, James looked at Sirius in confusion and said, "Isn't this Professor Su's room? Why does Snape look like his room? Why should we listen to him?"
Sirius just reacted.
Oh yeah, why should they listen to Snape.
Why did I feel nervous facing the professor just now?
Principal's room.
Dumbledore stood quietly by the window, his tall figure outlined in gold by the sunlight. He tilted his head slightly, his half-moon glasses reflecting a mysterious light, and he was holding today's newspaper in his hand.
As soon as Jiang Li walked into the office, Dumbledore withdrew his gaze from the newspaper and looked at Jiang Li with a gentle smile on his lips.
"Gardenia, why are you here?"
"I came to see how you were doing."
Jiang Li stood with his hands behind his back and looked around the principal's office. In the past, the table was filled with candies, but now there was not a single candy.
Suspecting that she had made a mistake, she looked again carefully.
Dumbledore seemed to have read her thoughts and said with a kind smile, "Fawkes must have sensed your location just now, so he took away all the candies on the table."
Hearing this, Jiang Li laughed out of anger.
It was obvious that Dumbledore knew he was coming, so he collected the candies in advance and pretended that Fawkes had taken them away.
"I'm not here to steal your candy. Do you need to be so alert?"
Dumbledore smiled and said nothing.
Could it be that the candy on his table was taken away by Peeves?
Seeing his stingy look, Jiang Li didn't get angry and took out the candy he had placed in the pen holder.
Dumbledore: "..."
How did you find it?
Jiang Li seemed to see through his thoughts and said with a smile: "The candy is hidden too full and the sugar coating is exposed. Next time you should find a more hidden place.
Hearing this, Dumbledore's smile disappeared.
He looked at Jiang Li helplessly and said, "Gardenia, you can't deprive an old man of his few hobbies."
"You have a point."
Jiang Li stuffed candies into his pocket as he spoke, "Since you gave me so many candies, I have to express my gratitude. I have a gift for you."
She took out several crystal balls containing Voldemort's remaining soul from her bracelet.
