[HP] Magic didn't give up on you

Eli doesn't expand on who this wise philosopher friend-and the word is "once" mysterious figure.He realized rationally that having a Death Eater outside his home would be bad for anyone, not even Lily, who, like him, had had a friendship with the man.

Without any influence, they spent a warm and happy Christmas together.The Evans couple are very satisfied with James—although he is not as well-mannered as Eli, and he is not considered a very decent son-in-law in front of Muggle neighbors, but his love for his daughter is visible to the naked eye and has continued steadily For several years, this has of course been affirmed and appreciated by the Evans couple.

And to be honest, they do have a natural yearning and affection for magic and wizards.Children will not tell Muggle parents about the current crisis and war in the wizarding world. The most beautiful things about magic may always remain in their minds and imaginations.

The Potters had already met Lily, and they had absolutely no problem with their son's choice, and warmly welcomed Lily into their family.After consulting the Evans couple, they decided to get married in the spring—there is less than three months left, and it is not a rush to prepare for a wedding. Lily likes the season of warm spring and flowers.

Maybe this kind of combination came sooner, but in the war years, if you don't hurry up and get together with your loved one as soon as possible, no one knows whether the next second will be a farewell.

"Mary can be my bridesmaid," said Lily happily. "She's not married yet! But she's going to be devastated by the news. I just called her last week and told her about us being together." , she may not have digested this fact yet."

"I'm different. Sirius must have been looking forward to being my best man, and he's ready." James said proudly, smiling so brightly, "He'll be my child's godfather ! I've figured it out since fourth grade!"

"What have you thought about?" Lily raised her eyebrows and asked him with a slightly strange expression.

"Think about our baby... um, let me explain, Lily," James slipped in a moment of complacency.Under Lily's stern gaze, he laughed embarrassingly and shrank his neck.

"I'm listening," Lily said, crossing her arms and looking at him appraisingly. "What do you want to explain?"

James stared at her with his mouth open for a few seconds, and it was clear from his expression that he hadn't really thought about it.

So in the end he decided to tell the truth, raised his hand and scratched his head, and said honestly: "What I want to say is... I already liked you very much at that time, Lily."

How can there be such a person in the world who can say such nasty words without hesitation.The brother-in-law, who was concentrating on chatting with her parents, cast a playful glance, and Lily felt her face turn red.She coughed in disguise, tried to keep a straight face, and glared at her fiancé.

"At that time you were really annoying." She said bluntly, with the corners of her lips curled up, "You talk to yourself wishfully, you don't care about girls' feelings at all, you are stupidly pushy and arrogant, Self-righteous, feeling good about myself..."

She said this very skillfully, as if the feeling of angrily rejecting Potter ten thousand times before came back all of a sudden, her tone was almost full of enthusiasm.James was dumbfounded by what she said, and he didn't dare to refute, but after she stopped talking in a bit of satisfaction, he leaned in front of her completely indifferently, and his spirit of persevering and undaunted has never changed.

"But in the end I managed to catch you, Lily." He said with a smile, "I guess I'm not so annoying now, am I? People change, they become mature, they become stable, and they know their proportions. Become aware of trade-offs."

Lily smiled shallowly, stretched out two hands to hold his cheeks and shook them, her eyebrows and eyes were curved.

"But actually, what I like the most is the part of you that hasn't changed, James." She said softly, "You've always been the same... Strip off the cloak of being infatuated with obsession, be patient, sincere, and willing to listen to me carefully Every word you say, accept my suggestion and respect my thoughts. Say you don’t want to see me cry again, and you will implement it firmly. I always smile when I see you... I like you like this, and I also I like myself like this."

When she said this, she was slightly dazed, thinking of the differences, disputes, cold wars, tears and parting ways she had with another person time and time again.That may not be the so-called love, but she once so sincerely hoped that he could listen to her at least once, instead of sticking to his own opinion and insisting on walking together. Different paths will always lead to that destined point Fork in the road.

This is something she can't change with sadness, tears and anger, and it's useless to stretch out her hand, and it's still useless to try her best.She may be special to Snape, but she is not more important than his ambition and pursuit, she is not the one who can change him.

Standing in the present moment, she looked back at the past and realized that even if she was given another chance, she would make the same choice.

"Lily?" James stretched out his hand, shook it in front of her, and looked at her with doubts and concern, "What are you thinking? Why did you suddenly become stupid. Are you drunk? How much is it?"

How is it possible, she only drank a few small cups.Lily gave him a funny look, pulled his hand down, looked at him for a moment, and blinked.

"You know what, James," she said softly, trying not to look too embarrassed, "I've always needed you."

It's not that kind of stupid pursuit, nor is it the so-called vanity of being passionately admired by campus stars.It's just that she will also be sad, sad, afraid, confused about the way ahead, and panic because of dangerous situations.She is not a naturally determined fighter who pursues justice, and she also has all the negative emotions that a bitch witch would have in her heart. She has never been a firm and perfect person who can selflessly ignite herself and shine for others like Dumbledore. The one who lights the way, who guides the way... She is just Lily Evans, a young witch.

And James is a person who, no matter what decision she makes or what path she chooses, will support, trust, encourage, and praise her by her side, and will charge forward without hesitation because of her decision.

"Is this your confession?" James was stunned for a few seconds, and he completely understood what she really wanted to express, and asked her in surprise.

Before she became angry from embarrassment, he laughed and moved closer to her. Both of them were a little shy, and when the corners of their lips looked at each other, they couldn't help but smile.

"When I liked you, I didn't seem to have thought of so many things." He said honestly, "To be honest, I thought about such a day at the time, but I didn't really think that it would come true so perfectly. At that time, you I really dislike you...but I still fell in love with you from that time. Now that I think about it, maybe it's because I like you not because of how good you are to me, but because you are so kind and dazzling , always shining in my world."

After they stared at each other for a few seconds, Lily leaned forward suddenly, threw herself into his arms, and hugged him.

On the sofa not far from the living room, her parents, sister and brother-in-law were all attracted by the movement, looking at them with interest and smiling.Lily squeezed into the arms of her fiancé, who burst out with the same enthusiasm and hugged her tightly without hesitation.She pressed her chin to his shoulder, lowered her voice, and whispered warmly and boldly in his ear.

"When is March?" she said, "I can't wait to marry you!"

Lily's words, to James, are completely more effective than drinking a hundred bottles of invigorating potions.After three hours, he wrote furiously and created a long letter, which was about to be sent to Dumbledore immediately, but Eli stopped him mercilessly.

"I'm telling you again, time-turners aren't for that - put a Freezing Charm on your head to cool off! Or go out and freeze for a while! Don't give Professor Dumbledore any time like Christmas. unnecessary trouble!"

Despite the vortex of war, most people's Christmas is still not bad.The war has been going on for a long time, and life goes on as usual.Late at night on Christmas Eve, Sirius Black came out of the Order of the Phoenix, and the streets of Diagon Alley were also decorated with lights, which made Diagon Alley, which had become more deserted after a major and vicious attack, look a bit like the past. lively.

He was on duty during the day for Christmas, and at night he was handed over to Benji Fenwick, who was also a bachelor. It would be hard to trouble someone with a family to come over on such a day.

James was not at home for Christmas this year. Although the Potters treated him as another son and warmly invited him to spend the holiday together, Sirius still decided that he couldn't go there in the end, and he was fine by himself.

He has his own motorcycle, which is very cool looking, and he fell in love with it after seeing it in a Muggle magazine, and after Arthur and Eli converted it into a magical flying motorcycle, it became His fixed mount, he always rides it galloping in the night wind, galloping on the road and in the air is very exciting.

On the day when thousands of families gather, there are very few cars on the street.He rode his motorcycle, speeding freely on the roads of London, following his heart, followed by a group of traffic policemen chasing him angrily and wanting to post a ticket.He meant no ill will to these Muggle cops, but of course it would be fun to tease them, and he was going to drive a little further, to a quieter place, push a button to make the motorcycle fly, and shake off the dumbfounded Muggle cops. The melon police look exhausted...

"Sirius?" When he passed a person, the other person said suddenly, "...is that you?"

Even though we haven't seen each other for a while, this voice is still too familiar.Sirius was stunned for a moment, and the speeding car made a dangerous turn and came back, the tires rubbing against the road almost sparked.

It was indeed Regulus.Sirius frowned, looked at him, and was about to say something when the shouts of the Muggle police behind him were getting closer.

So he had to change what he said.He glanced at his younger brother and said simply, "Get in the car."

Regulus stared at him for a few seconds, then sat up silently.Sirius stepped on the accelerator and set off again. The motorcycle moved forward again at a speed that was almost flying. This time, he didn't deliberately hang the group of Muggle policemen for fun.

Coming all the way along the street just now, it turned out to be near the Thames River.Sirius stopped his car on a bridge across the Thames that should have had its own name in the Muggle world, probably loud enough, though apparently neither of them knew it.

An Order member and a Death Eater stood side by side, both of them surprisingly calm.Sirius leaned against the railing of the bridge and glanced at his younger brother indifferently.

"Aren't you spending Christmas with those people at 12 Grimmauld Place at this time?" He asked in a flat tone, "Parents who love you, distinguished guests who have contacts with the family, heads of house elves, and those who like you Your fellow rebels with tattoos on your left arm, and your aesthetically regrettable boss."

Regulus didn't comment on his string of descriptions, but said, "That's your home too, Sirius."

"It's not anymore." Sirius said indifferently, his expression unchanged, as if he was completely indifferent to mentioning this matter, "I think you know that since I entered Gryffindor, I have lived there. Not so much. But now it seems that you are not doing as well as you imagined, are you? Hanging out on Christmas Eve is not like a family person would do."

"The family is in a very bad situation now." Regulus whispered, "Not completely on the side of the Dark Lord. Although I am here, the Dark Lord obviously thinks that is not enough... He needs more allegiance, Absolute surrender, more bargaining chips."

"So, you decided to come out to try your luck?" Sirius asked casually, without looking at him, leaning casually against the railing, looking up at the dark sky.

"It seems that you are lucky, you happened to meet me." He said calmly, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, revealing a sarcastic smile.

"Are you going to bring me, the traitor of the Black family, to your master, Regulus?" He said softly and sharply, slowly, without even pulling out his wand, and there was indifference between his brows and eyes, as if he was concerned about his own life and death Total indifference.

Regulus' eyes fell on his face, and he quietly watched his brother for a while, then turned his head and looked at the calm Thames in front of him.

"This winter is extremely cold." He whispered, his eyes fell on the quiet river.

"It's as cold as if spring won't come next year... Don't ask me questions, Sirius, there are too many unknown things in this world, and I don't know the answers just like you."
