Chapter 328 Sirius' Christmas 8
Chapter 328 Sirius' Christmas 8
Tom was the last to arrive, and after he was greeted by Walburga, the door of the Black house was shut and the Christmas dinner officially began.
The toasts are staggered, and the clothes are fragrant and the shadows on the temples.
The bright light is projected down, and the transparent glass crystal refracts a bright and blurred brilliance.
The interior is warm and comfortable. The sweet aroma of fine wine and food mixed with the smell of expensive perfumes worn by ladies with delicate makeup creates a rich and intoxicating complex aroma.
The blurred and dreamy light, the blowing fragrance and the warm body sensation make people dizzy, like falling into a dream.
After completing the welcome session, Sirius was let go by the "merciful" Walburga and allowed to move freely.
After all, his face has already been painted, and Sirius is only in the first grade now, so that's about the same, any more would be too much.
As soon as Sirius was freed, he immediately started looking for James.
James followed the Potters at first, and immediately followed Sirius after seeing Sirius coming to him.
Sirius introduced his brother Regulus Black to James.
Regulus is only a little younger than Sirius, and he will be of school age next year.
"Narel will also come to Gryffindor next year! Sirius and I have found a lot of secret passages and interesting rooms, and we will take you on a night tour together!"
Within a few minutes of getting to know each other, James called out the nickname of Regulus by himself. After hearing that Regulus would go to Hogwarts every year, James warmly welcomed him to Gryffin He even graciously promised that he would fulfill the duties of a qualified senior and guide Regulus to familiarize himself with the school together with Sirius.
James: Sirius' brother is my brother!
Regulus, who originally greeted his brother's good friend with a sincere smile, suddenly fell silent when he heard that he was suggested to go to Gryffindor College, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and his expression changed. It's a little gloomy and gloomy.
But Regulus still forced a smile, and thanked James politely and obediently: "Thank you very much for your kindness, but—"
Regulus changed the topic: "But maybe it won't be what you and your brother expected."
When James said to let Regulus come to Gryffindor just now, although Sirius didn't say anything, Regulus could still clearly feel the secret expectation emanating from Sirius.
Sirius actually hoped that Regulus would be the same as himself and stand by his side.
After hearing Regulus say that he couldn't do what he expected, although the expression on Sirius's face didn't change significantly, the clenched fists under the sleeves of the dress and the drooping eyelids declared that he was not at peace. .
Regulus glanced at Sirius apologetically, and then explained to James: "If only my brother is assigned to Gryffindor alone, there may be room for change, but if I am also included, the matter will not be resolved." It could be the worst possible situation.”
Although Regulus was young, he saw things clearly.
Although the wizarding world now advocates equality in the academy and respects the peaceful coexistence of wizards of all backgrounds, the resources accumulated by the Black family in Slytherin over the years really need one person to take over.
Regulus had no intention of competing with his brother for the position of heir, but Sirius chose Gryffindor, so he would not have access to some of Slytherin's bonuses.
The three cousins were not included in the heir's consideration at the beginning, so they did not overuse Black's share of Slytherin's due resources, but instead tried to keep them and wait for Sirius to use them.
If Sirius was not sorted into Gryffindor, but went to Slytherin like every Blake, then with his ability and background, this Slytherin would follow him.
Unfortunately, Sirius went to Gryffindor.
Well, there must be someone to take over these things!
Maintaining the relationship between pure-blood families, looking for blue-chip stocks among half-blood wizards to invest in, and establishing the influence and status of the Black family among successive generations of wizards...
It all needs to be borne by someone, and Regulus is willing to take on this responsibility that does not belong to him for his brother.
"I want to make my brother happy." Regulus reached out his little hand and took Sirius' hand.
Regulus felt that as long as he shouldered these things, his brother could continue to be so free and happy.
Sirius' hands were tightly clenched into fists, so Regulus used his soft and delicate fingertips to carefully drill into the crevices of his fingers bit by bit.
Facing Regulus' determined gaze, Sirius didn't know what to say, but he let go of his fist, and then wrapped Leyle's hand completely in the palm of his hand, and then rubbed Leyle's hand with his free hand. Gules soft hair.
The color of Regulus' hair is very similar to that of Sirius, but the texture of their hair is different. Sirius has naturally curly hair, which is deliberately long and looks chic and coquettish, while Regulus has straight, soft hair. It looks cute and cute when it is attached to the head.
Sirius was born to be the heir of the Black family. Others envied him for standing at the end at birth, but Sirius hated this kind of life that was taken for granted and that he could see the end at a glance.
Growing up, being sorted into Slytherin House, becoming the leader of several generations of wizards, graduating, finding a leisurely and powerful position in the Ministry of Magic, inheriting the Black family, and continuously improving the influence and status of the Black family, Marrying a suitable partner for the Black family, giving birth to a gifted child for the Black family...
Such a boring and lifeless life.
As if he, Sirius Black, had lived his life only for the Black family.
If it's just that, wouldn't it be the same for whoever is in this position?
As long as it's Sirius Black, it doesn't matter which Sirius it is!
The thought terrified Sirius.
So he began to resist, to resist all the step-by-step procedures, to resist all the steps of life that follow the rules.
He was rebellious, talking back and confronting his mother, as if it would prove that Sirius was just Sirius, and not in the shell of Sirius Black - it could be anyone.
He resisted, went to Gryffindor College, rejected Slytherin, and rejected Black's fate to the greatest extent. This seemed to be a major step for him to regain his self-worth-he announced to everyone that he was Sirius, only Sirius Rhys, Sirius of Gryffindor.
