Su Shuang's world is collapsing [Comprehensive]

However, this long night seemed to have consumed all of Dumbledore's patience and energy.He blinked and asked gently: "So, Sirius, have you filed a record with the Ministry of Magic about this arrangement? If you have, it will save us a lot of trouble-if not If so, it might take a while."

Sirius opened his mouth, and suddenly turned his gaze to the dusty fireplace.As if he didn't dare to look at Liu Quan at all, he replied in a low voice: "... I did go to the Ministry of Magic just yesterday, but—"

Liu Quan was surprised and annoyed at the same time, and finally laughed out of anger.

But it was Snape who spoke first.

"Ministry of Magic? What's the case?" He looked suspiciously back and forth between Liu Quan and Sirius, and his voice was like a silky cello.

"How could the property of the Black family be related to... Lily?" He finally decided to turn to Dumbledore and ask directly.

Liu Quan closed his eyes and sighed silently.

Dumbledore replied calmly: "Oh, Severus, this is just a little... a small stopgap measure. Sirius prefers that Harry will inherit the property at 12 Grimmauld Place in the future, But before Harry was underage, if that sort of misunderstanding happened tonight—then the property might need an adult overseer; surely you wouldn't want to see Bellatrix in that position, would you? So West Reese thought of a way—”

Snape's eyes narrowed slowly.He seemed to find some similar experience from his past, so he twisted his lips and asked with a sneer:

"So, dear Professor Dumbledore, just like back then, you hope that the flower of Gryffindor will cooperate with this ridiculous and daring plan, and once again pretend to be the fiancée who fell into... er, madness, okay Temporarily taking over the house for Harry Potter's more reckless little troll after that stupid dog's reckless actions cost him his own life?!"

Liu Quan: "..."

He was not wrong at all.And visually, this arrangement must be implemented as soon as possible, because if No. 12 Grimmauld Place does not change hands, it will be a natural proof that Sirius is still alive.

But...the inheritance of this ancestral old house, isn't there some magical contract or something that plays a role in it?Isn't there some ancient spell that can detect the lineage, life and death of the current owner and family of this house?Really just need to file a case at the Ministry of Magic and say "I voluntarily leave the house to my godson Harry Potter, and the house will be supervised by my fiancée Lily Evans until he comes of age"?

In the end, it was Dumbledore who solved the puzzle for her.

He looked a little tired, after thinking for a while, he showed a gentle and comforting smile to Liu Quan.

"You don't have to worry about other things... Lily. The only thing you need to do is to go to the Ministry of Magic and declare that you will take over 12 Grimmauld Place in accordance with Sirius's... er, 'will'. In addition, there From now on, it will be under your management for the time being, including Kreacher—"

He hesitated for a moment, as if he was considering whether to tell her that Kreacher was unreliable.

However, Liu Quan had already opened his mouth, tried his best to show a happy expression like whitewashing peace, and asked lightly:

"Oh, so do I have the right to tell Mrs. Blake in the portrait to shut up when she's scolding me, and then put the old velvet curtain that hasn't been washed in decades and has a few feet of dust on it? Throw it in her face?"

The look on Snape's face seemed a little strange, like that of a child who has suddenly eaten a bad nut without warning.

Sirius froze for a moment, then burst out laughing.

"Hahahaha... If that's the case, then I'm really looking forward to it!" His laughter was as hearty and bright as ever, and now he suddenly looked like the prince of Gryffindor back then.

"It's been so many years since no one has been able to make that old witch whose head seems to be made up of a whole stone tablet engraved with 'Pure Blood Theory' be so angry... Merlin's fat pants! I'm so sorry that I couldn't be there to witness that everything!"

Liu Quan: "..."

She made a black line, and replied with a wooden face: "...I'm glad to hear you say that. I will proudly show off my Muggle blood in front of Mrs. Black~"

Before Sirius could speak, Snape's silky and magnetic bass sounded in the dark room.

"Well, well, I guess you must be enjoying your new fiancée status, Evans? No wonder, after all, you are—"

Liu Quan: "..."

Dumbledore chuckled, interrupting Snape just in time to take over before the situation got out of hand.

"Of course, Lily, you have the right to do so. Maybe you can modify the house if you like..." he said very kindly.

"After all, you are the mistress of the Black family now."

Snape suddenly showed a toothache-like expression, with an unbearable look on his face, as if he couldn't bear the stupidity and straightforwardness of these Gryffindors.

"Shouldn't expect anything superfluous from Gryffindor minds," he muttered, as if these Gryffindors were sitting in his room discussing stupid plans, making his room a mess. Goofy; he stared at them with distaste, as if he wanted to drive them all away.

Liu Quan smiled bitterly.

If you ask her, she's already pretty good at playing a devoted fiancée, she's a "professional" after all - she's sure Snape would have thought of that comment too, if Dumbledore hadn't interrupted him just in time , maybe he will throw this comment in her face!Praise Dumbledore!Just in time to save her face!

"In short, I will deal with this matter as soon as possible at the right time." She coughed lightly, and decided to quickly divert this embarrassing topic.

Since it is impossible to find someone in the Order of the Phoenix who is more suitable than her to deal with the inheritance of the property at 12 Grimmauld Place, no matter how much venom Snape spews on their Gryffindors' minds, this matter will still matter. It must be done.

Liu Quan glared at Sirius slightly depressed.

Although he is already a mature man, Sirius at this moment is just like the boy who was with James Potter in the corridor of Hogwarts and slapped her eyes hard because of some thoughtless behavior. He looked at her with a flattering and guilty smile.

Liu Quan: "..."

Snape let out a sarcastic sneer.He looked as if he wanted to throw the word "stupid dog" in Sirius' face a hundred times.

Dumbledore spoke just in time.

"In this case, let's go back to Hogwarts quickly... There are as many things to do as there are hills-by the way, since Sirius is still alive, since it is of great importance, then our A few insiders might as well set an unbreakable spell—”

He thoughtfully put forward this proposal first, which saved Liu Quan the effort of racking his brains to come up with a good argument to convince them to make an unbreakable spell.

A low, indistinct curse escaped Snape's throat.His expression was terrible, as if he was extremely bored, as if he was about to pull out his wand and give an Avada to Sirius, the big trouble.But in the end, he accepted Dumbledore's proposal.They made an unbreakable spell with each other that they would never tell the matter to the outside world.

Dumbledore looked a little satisfied.Putting away his wand, he began to make arrangements in an orderly manner.

"Sirius, you wait here first, I have to find you a safe place to live... Severus, you can go to work... Lily, you go back to Hogwarts first. When I left , it's still a mess over there... Maybe you'd like to talk to Phineas for me?"

Liu Quan froze for a moment before realizing that Dumbledore was referring to Phineas Nigellus, one of the ancestors of the Black family and the former Headmaster of Hogwarts.

She sighed, feeling suddenly stressed.But she is about to take over the house at No. 12 Grimmauld Place as the "new mistress of the Black family", so she has to face the names on the huge tapestry of the Black family.She nodded silently, turned her head and said briefly to Sirius, "then we will contact later", and was about to step into the fireplace.

Sirius called out just in time behind her.

"Wait, Lily!"

Liu Quan turned around.

Sirius seemed to hesitate for a moment, then reached into his collar, roughly pulled out a necklace, and began to reach behind his neck to untie the chain.

"...Take this up."

Liu Quan took it suspiciously and looked at it. The necklace was ordinary and lackluster; but the pendant was rather peculiar—it was a pattern formed by combining several strange letters.

Sirius explained: "This pendant is '∑εριο', the ancient Greek word for 'Sirius'. ... This is the ... uh, 'marker' that can prove that you have my authorization to handle all matters."

Liu Quan: "..."

Her hands obviously paused, and then silently put the necklace and pendant into the pocket of her coat.

She could feel Snape's icy eyes on her now, but she had absolutely nothing to explain to him.

Of course he hated Sirius very much.But he also knew that Sirius was her friend and a companion of the Order of the Phoenix, so she didn't want to see Sirius die like this.

The inheritance process arranged by Sirius was of course very unexpected to her, but now she can't justly refuse to apply for inheriting the old house of the Black family according to Sirius' arrangement.

The house should have been handed over to Sirius' preferred heir—that is, Harry.It didn't matter if this matter made Snape unhappy, and even thought she was a professional fake fiancee faithfully obeying Dumbledore's manipulation.

Liu Quan paused in front of the fireplace, turned his face slightly, and for a moment seemed to want to face the extremely displeased cold air that was standing diagonally behind her—maybe it was because of her and Sirius. Disgusted at the strange tricks of the stupid Gryffindor—Snape said something; but in the end, she said nothing, and stepped into the fireplace.

When she returned to the headmaster's office at Hogwarts, she found that Phineas Nigellus was holding on to the frame of his magical portrait, staring in the direction of the fireplace.When he caught sight of her coming out of the fireplace, he shouted hoarsely at her:

"My great-great-grandson—the last of the Black family—how is he now?!"

Liu Quan paused, turned around and raised his head slightly, looking at the magic portrait hanging on the wall.

Although there is a little distance between her and Phineas's portrait, she can still see Phineas' old, cloudy eyes wide open, and his face looks as if it has aged overnight. many years old.

She sighed, lowered her eyes to avoid the gaze of the old headmaster, and reluctantly said: "...you should have heard about it just now...?"

"I don't believe it," Phineas said roughly.

"I don't want to believe those people's nonsense... That Potter is just a reckless little boy who likes to get into trouble! What credibility is there in his words?! Dumbledore too... He will use a lot of rhetoric, empty and fancy big words Reason—to lie to people to die! Those people believed what he said, thinking what a righteous and heroic thing they were doing..."

Liu Quan didn't speak, just stood there listening to Phineas Nigellus nagging, and finally the old man's voice slowly became choked; after that, his old and wrinkled face There were two lines of tears streaming down slowly.

He fell back into the velvet chair, slumped in the chair, and opened his eyes blankly, staring straight at the willow spring in front of the fireplace.His scolding words had stopped at some point, when Liu Quan realized the silence in the room and raised his eyes to look at his picture frame again, he grinned with difficulty and showed her a crying smile .

"...Miss Evans." For the first time he called out her last name accurately.Of course, it was also the first time he called her in such a polite, formal tone.

Liu Quan raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at him questioningly.

Phineas Nigellus chuckled.

"My great-great-great-grandson—he is..."

Having said that, he stopped again, as if trying to organize the language, but in the end he couldn't find any suitable words. He simply gave up using those euphemisms, and said simply and rudely:

"...He has a good impression of you - if you want me to say, he must like you. But what's the use of talking about it now? What's the use?!"

Tears streamed down the sides of his protruding nose and onto his goatee.

Liu Quan opened his mouth, but no sound came out for a while.

Sirius has a high degree of affection for her, of course she can feel it a little bit - but because Sirius is not the only target designated by the system bacteria, she has never been on the emotional line when getting along with him Thinking about it, and she didn't think she had done anything to mislead him—maybe it was because her generous attitude suited his liking; Liu Quan remembered that he was still a "Gryffindor" before. "Many princes" once said that he didn't like those girls who took the initiative to post to express their enthusiasm and have other purposes for him.

But in that era, he was still the proud son of heaven, the heir and young master of the ancient Black family—who could he look up to?Liu Quan even felt that his favorability towards her might only be accumulating because James treated her differently.

... But now, as Phineas said, what's the use of saying that?

She whispered: "I'm sorry."

I can only say "I'm sorry".

Because she didn't know how to explain to him that Sirius was not dead, but until the death of the guy who couldn't name him, Sirius had to maintain this state of suspended animation; she didn't know how to tell him, about Sirius This is the only way she can respond to Reese's kindness to her.

Compared with the safety of the whole world, any kindness seems so insignificant.

Even if Sirius didn't have such a high affection for her as his great-great-grandfather said, she still hopes that after everything is over, he can live well and be healthy and smooth forever with this world live on.

She also wanted Severus Snape to be like that - the world was safe, and he was safe, and then, to continue his life until natural reasons forced him to see Merlin.

It shouldn't be in such a shabby room, it shouldn't be in the situation of being misunderstood and hated by everyone, and I don't know or understand how much effort he has put in for the victory of justice and how much he has risked. Dangerous, not many people even know how surprised, how painful, and how regretful he was when the big snake jumped up and bit his neck.

He wasn't afraid to die in infamy.But that's not how he should die.He has done so much for justice, for victory, that even if he is withdrawn, eccentric, indifferent, harsh, rigid, mean, sullen, unlovable, unsympathetic, and leads an ascetic life, he deserves it A better way - when he is too old to stay in the world, lying on a warm and clean bed, the fireplace in the room is crackling and crackling with orange-red flames; he can Lying there peacefully looking back at his life, knowing his achievements, how many people his efforts have influenced, knowing how great his efforts have contributed to the final victory, knowing that even if his body were to disappear from this world, He seldom shows kindness to anyone, but there will still be many people in this world who respect him, miss him, and praise his contribution-this is enough.

After leaving the principal's office, Liu Quan walked alone in the Hogwarts castle.

The dawn that came in from the window in the corridor fell on the ancient and magnificent castle, casting a faint blue-white shadow on the corridor in front of her.

A new day has come.

A new day always comes.

A new day will come.

The author has something to say:

February 5:

Because I have something to do tomorrow, so I will stop updating for a day, sorry [.

So today I deliberately write more, here is a big fat chapter ww

[Next update: No. [-] zero point w]

Next is the plot of the Half-Blood Prince. I won’t replay every event as it is. If that happens, HP’s comeback will probably take half a year hahh

And as everyone knows, the tone of the Half-Blood Prince and the Deathly Hallows is very depressing.

I will try my best to give you some sugar in the corners to neutralize it, but you still have to be mentally prepared.
