Chapter 546 Mother

"This is it," Sirius led the two of them to the foyer and stood in a place hung with two velvet curtains. "It's not too late to regret it now." He said, holding the velvet curtain covered with insect holes in one hand.

But Fish and Hermione obviously would not regret it. Sirius sighed and reminded: "Remember to cover your ears." After saying that, he yanked the curtain in his hand and pulled it off the wall. .

The next moment, Fish and Hermione knew why Sirius reminded them to cover their ears...

A terrible, deafening, blood-curdling scream came from the portrait behind the curtain. An old lady wearing a black hat was screaming desperately, one after another, as if she was being tortured.

And as her screams sounded, there seemed to be a chain reaction in the foyer, and other silent portraits also began to scream. For a moment, the entire foyer was like when Fei Xu and the others went to the amusement park to ride the roller coaster. Same.

"Meow!"

(≥△≤)

Fish wailed, quickly retracted his cat ears, and covered his human ears with both hands, while Hermione next to him did the same.

"Beast! Bitch! Dirty and sinful scoundrel! Why do you still have the nerve to appear in front of me!"

The old lady in the portrait screamed and cursed, and waved her skinny hands like chicken claws, as if she wanted to scratch Sirius' face.

"Shut up! You horrible old witch! Shut up!" Sirius shouted back unwilling to be outdone, and took out his wand and shot a series of stun spells at the other screaming portraits to silence them again.

The old lady in the portrait turned pale as she pointed at Sirius and continued to curse: "Prodigal son! The shame of the family! The evil seed I gave birth to!"

"I told you! Shut up!" Sirius yelled angrily at his mother.

The mother and son refused to give in to each other, one voice was louder than the other, and they were trying to overpower each other in terms of volume.

Fish and Hermione could only cover their ears while watching the quarrel between them in stunned silence.

Just when the two were in a stalemate, an old man who was very familiar to Fish appeared in the portrait. He pressed Sirius's mother's shoulders and said in a deep voice: "Okay, Walburga, be quiet. Don’t let the guests see the joke.”

"Phineas, why are you here, meow?"

(ΦωΦ)

Fish's cat ears popped out of his silver-gray hair again, and he excitedly waved to the new old man who appeared in the portrait.

This person is naturally Phineas Nigellus Black, the most unpopular headmaster in the history of Hogwarts and the only headmaster from Slytherin... Fish's old friend.

"This is my home, of course I can be here." Phineas touched his goatee and said proudly. Then, he smiled at Fish and nodded, "Welcome. Come to Black's house, Fish."

As for Hermione next to Fish, he completely ignored him. If he didn't say bad words to the little girl, it was because he didn't want to argue with Hermione for the sake of Fish and Hogwarts, and for maintaining his own identity. .

"Great-grandfather." After Walburga Black saw Phineas, he immediately stopped screaming and stood behind him respectfully.

"Great Ancestor..." Sirius looked at Phineas and reluctantly greeted him.

"Hmph!" Phineas didn't have a good look towards this great-great-grandson who betrayed the family tradition. He didn't bother to look at Sirius at all and only focused on chatting with Fish.

"Are you here to see Walburga?"

Phineas knew what the other people in the room thought of his offspring, so it could only be Fish, a curious little guy.

"Yes, Meow," Maomao nodded seriously and said, "Fish wants Sirius to reconcile with his mother, Meow."

(ˇˇ)

"Impossible! I can never forgive this scoundrel!" Mrs. Black screamed again.

"But, Sirius is your child. No matter what wrong Fish does, Minerva will forgive me."

However, Mrs. Black refused to acknowledge the existence of Sirius. She yelled: "My only child is Regulus! My poor child...oooooooooo..."

She recalled her young son who was missing and had probably been killed, and couldn't help but cover her face and cry bitterly.

"You see, Fish? There is no possibility of relaxation between us!"

Sirius roared with a bad look on his face.

Although he had long since given up on his family, hearing that he was denied by his biological mother again made Sirius feel sad and ashamed.

Then, without waiting for Fish to say anything else, he lifted up the velvet curtain full of insect holes and covered up his portrait of Mrs. Black again.

"I'm tired, let's go back and rest first."

After closing the curtain, Sirius waved listlessly to Fish and Hermione, as if his strength had been drained, and then left the hall with heavy steps.

"Hermione, did Fish do something wrong again?"

(ω)

Maomao seemed to sense Sirius' sadness and asked in a depressed mood.

"It's none of your business," Hermione hugged Fish and comforted him softly, "You mean well, don't you? The conflict between Sirius and his mother is too intense, and it's not easy for them to understand each other."

"Just like Draco and Harry, meow?"

Fish remembered the metaphor he had thought of before.

Hermione twitched her lips and nodded, "Well, you can say that."

Although this metaphor is a bit strange, it seems to be fine if you think about it seriously.

"Minerva~"

It was dinner time, and Professor McGonagall finally showed up here. Fish immediately pounced on him. Because of what happened in the afternoon, the cat now missed his mother very much.

Also here were Mr. Weasley, Bill, Percy and Lupin. They were all very happy to see Fish. Everyone gathered together and had a lively dinner.

After dinner, Bill got up and said goodbye. He and Percy didn't live here. Percy would stay, of course, to tutor Ron.

Just as Ron was dragged back to his room by Percy with a sad face, Firth also dragged Professor McGonagall to her room.

"Well, what story do you want to hear today?"

Professor McGonagall sat side by side with Firth on the bed, then rubbed his cat ears and asked with a smile.

"Minerva," Cat ignored Professor McGonagall's question, but hugged her arm and talked about what happened today, "Firth met Sirius' mother today..."

After Firth told the story, Professor McGonagall's face also showed a look of emotion.

"I think Mrs. Black still loves Sirius, but the death of Regulus was too much of a blow to her, and she may have taken her anger out on Sirius."

Professor McGonagall didn't know what Mrs. Black was thinking, but she still tried to give Firth a relatively "good" reason.

"The conflict between them is not so easy to resolve," Professor McGonagall said something similar to Hermione. She patted Fish's head and said, "Just like if you want to follow Voldemort now, I won't forgive you easily."

"It's different, meow!" Cat retorted, "Following Voldemort is a bad thing, and Sirius didn't do anything bad!"

(`ω)

"But in Mrs. Black's eyes, Sirius did the same thing." Professor McGonagall explained to Fish earnestly, "Although in our opinion, Mrs. Black is the wrong party, but Sirius can't choose his family to be born. In a pure-blood family like Black, Sirius' behavior is wrong..."

Professor McGonagall talked about a lot of things with Fish this evening, including the relationship between mother and son, the ideological conflicts between pure-blood and half-blood and even Muggle wizards, etc.

Although Fish may not fully understand, he listened carefully and wrote it all down, without any signs of sleepiness in the middle.

"Okay, it's getting late, you should go back to bed, mom still has things to do tomorrow."

The two chatted until late at night, and Professor McGonagall stopped talking after looking at the watch.

"By the way," she suddenly remembered something, "did you remember to put a leaf of mandrake in your mouth today?"

"Meow! Fish forgot!"

I had a somewhat weird dream last night. Because it was fragmented and the logic was confusing, I sorted it out based on what I remembered after waking up.

There is a village where the villagers have been pursuing immortality. Even the village chief organizes a kind of living sacrifice every year, saying that it can make the people in the village live longer.

In the dream, because I looked younger than my classmates, the teachers in the school thought that I had found a way to live forever, and they surrounded me for interrogation...

Then I was scared awake.

From the situation in the dream, I should be in junior high school? I looked younger in junior high school, and people often thought I was a primary school student.

Then the teachers who surrounded me… To be honest, they looked familiar, but I couldn’t recognize them. It might be because the dream was too vague.

The one who impressed me the most was the female teacher in the lead. Her eyes were so creepy in the dream. I was scared awake by her… But she shouldn’t be my former teacher. She looked a bit like my landlord when I rented a house before, and a bit like Aunt Guo…

I don’t know why I had such a dream, but I feel that if I expand this dream, it can also be written into a story or something.

…

Thanks to Bachang for the reward.
