Chapter 73 Interview
Chapter 73 Interview
With Dumbledore's introduction, Alaia discovered that Newt's childhood sweetheart, who was also his best friend, was together with his biological brother. It was a fantastic development. After all, when they were in school, she didn't see any sparks between them.
On the contrary, Leta Lestrange sometimes retaliates against all those who bully Newt, just like a hen protecting her chicks. Now it seems that Newt's feelings for Leta Lestrange are really just friends.
Alayya's investigation hit a bottleneck, especially after she learned from Dumbledore that Newt's brother and sister-in-law had died on the battlefield a long time ago. Alayya became even more silent. That meant he had no relatives in this world.
That's why he tried so hard to find his friends. Alaiya felt more and more sad, and Newt's non-marriage became even more of a mystery.
However, since James and the others were worried that Peter would get hung up on Newt's matter and feel pain and sadness, they always deliberately avoided the topic and focused more on practicing Animagus.
That day, they gathered in the library again. James took out a large book from somewhere, pointed at the operations on it with some excitement, and announced to everyone, "A new round of training has begun! This method will definitely be successful. Peter, you read it to everyone to deepen their impression."
Alayya, who was still looking up information about the "hero couple" Theseus Scamander and Leta Lestrange, reluctantly looked up at the circle formed by the trio, and looked at Lupin with a hint of help.
"Let me help Peter, he's a little busy..." Lupin accepted Alaia's pleading gaze with understanding, and like every time in the past, he took Peter's affairs to heart.
"No need, just let him do it!" James was angry. What he meant was that he wanted Peter to read more to deepen his impression so as to avoid mistakes during Animagus training.
Alayya couldn't help but read under James's soft and hard persuasion, "For an entire month, from full moon to full moon, you must continue to hold a whole single leaf of Mandrake in your mouth..."
Everyone fell silent tacitly, listening to Peter's clear yet soft voice, and different people had some unexpected thoughts.
James was thinking: Why hasn't Peter's voice changed yet? He still sounds like a little kid. Looking more closely, he doesn't even have an Adam's apple. He doesn't look "manly" at all. He needs to ask his dad for help to help Peter become a real "man" as soon as possible. But then again, Peter's voice is really nice.
Sirius was staring at Peter's lips opening and closing in a trance. The more he looked, the more he thought his lips were full, healthy and rosy, as plump as a peach. How could a grown man have lips like a girl? He kept picking up the water glass. It seemed that the weather was getting hotter and he was very thirsty.
Lupin secretly looked at Peter, then at Sirius. Sirius had long ago pointed out that he was too "pampered and caring" towards Peter, hoping that he would face up to his feelings and not destroy the precious friendship between brothers, but Sirius' eyes were so gentle when he looked at Peter that tears could drip. Why couldn't he do the same?
Alayya had been concentrating on the contents of the book, thinking that the last time she turned into a hamster, it was not the real Animagus that succeeded, but another "black magic"? She did not realize that her brothers had already drifted away with their thoughts.
But there are always people who want to "join" their gatherings. Although this time it has nothing to do with Peter, he cannot escape the fate of being "ordered around".
"Sirius Black, your brother is injured. Headmaster Dumbledore asked me to ask you to go to his office!" A Gryffindor prefect found their little group, seeming a little anxious.
Everyone looked at Sirius, not knowing how he would react, including Alaia. Sirius was not as calm as expected, but deliberately opened the newspaper on the table to cover his face to hide the expression he missed. "No, I have no connection with the Black family except for the same last name..."
"He's your own brother!" The confused prefect, who was of course a warm-hearted traditional Gryffindor, even wanted to have a long talk with Sirius to enlighten him, "Brothers support each other. How can there be such a big conflict? I believe there must be a misunderstanding!"
"No need to say more. If anything, I don't mind changing my last name. Potter is fine to me." Sirius adjusted his mood and expression, put down the newspaper, and tried to pretend to be calm, but his clenched fists betrayed him.
"Great Sirius! That's a great idea!" James really listened to it and hugged Sirius excitedly. Alaia and Lupin were stunned. Huh? Are you serious? James Potter? But just thinking about it makes me happy. That's James Potter, so it's not strange. It's common to want your brother to have the same last name as you.
"Peter, please go and tell Headmaster Dumbledore for me! Please." Sirius said to Alaia with a hint of fragility. His gaze always seemed to fall back on Peter. That was great. Peter was very reliable. Seeing the funny Peter looking at James in disbelief, Sirius' mood, which had been covered by dark clouds, became a little brighter.
Fortunately, he still had his brothers who were his strongest support, so Alaia was "ordered to go to Dumbledore's office", although she didn't know what use her going there would be.
Arriving at Headmaster Dumbledore's office, she was warmly welcomed by him. He didn't seem surprised by her arrival at all, and even asked jokingly, "Has Peter figured out the secret of why my old friend doesn't get married?" He winked playfully and said in a low voice, "Actually, I've always been curious about it, remember to tell me~"
But suddenly the subject changed, his tone became more serious. "Regulus's injury is indeed quite serious. By the way, do you know Barty Crouch Jr.?"
Dumbledore's sudden serious question made Alayya perk up. She tried to discern the hidden meaning in his words. What did it have to do with the little pervert?
"Well, we've met a few times..."
"That's strange..." Dumbledore touched his beard. When he arrived at the scene, he only saw Regulus and Barty Jr. who were both injured. In order to restore the truth and give an explanation to Barty Sr. and the Black family.
Dumbledore had to use some "little magic", only to find that Mr. Barty Crouch Jr. always had a fourth-year name in his head, "Peter Pellum"? Does this have anything to do with his duel with Regulus Black?
(First of all, let's congratulate together: Happy birthday to poor baby?(?)?
