Chapter 11

If there's one thing Sirius and James didn't expect, it's the boy sitting in front of them.

"Snape?" Sirius said disgustingly, looking like he wanted something to disappear before his eyes.

James struggled to swallow the word 'snot' back, smiling at the boy sitting with a girl who was about five years old, and then a disgusted look returned.

It's good, they all look the same in each other's eyes.

James was trying to be friendly, and Sirius didn't want two Riddle professors to cause trouble in the house, so the two of them were unexpectedly polite enough.

"You're welcome." Ross greeted her.

This was the first time Sirius and James had seen a 'celebrity' in the newspapers. Not to mention the nonsense in the Daily Prophet like the Minister of Magic, their grandparents will be in the newspaper at most because they paid for a knighthood, and there will be no photos, only a line of introductory text with the family name, and if you don't pay attention, the words will be confused with the eulogy.

A well-known Muggle among wizards like Paoth Riddle, or a reporter who tracks and reports on something going on in her family, and as far as they know, she and her family have occupied the front page of the Daily Prophet at least twice.

"Madame, it is a great honor to meet you." Sirius took out the aristocratic style that Madame Black had taught for more than ten years, and held Baby's hand and gave a chic kiss.

James did the same, grabbed Baosi and kissed it.

Severus, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, saw this scene and laughed seriously: "Hmph! Ariana, who was beside him, felt this strange, and she immediately raised her hand to Severus's nose and shook it. He understood by the second time she shook it, and he pressed her hand down, but she immediately raised it again, and seemed to want to try the kiss too.

No way, Severus left with his little friend and went to the little living room, he couldn't do this in front of these two guys.

"Young gentlemen, is there anything I can do for you?" Paucus was actually quite happy, and to be honest, Mr. Sirius Black was a handsome young man, while James Potter, with a pair of glasses, he looked a fashionable taste.

- Her young heart is ready to move.

Apparently Paucus found this interesting. Two young, serious bad guys.

"Ah, we're coming to Professor Riddle." The two of them said.

"Which one?" Pauss asked, there were two Professor Riddle in the house.

Red had heard voices coming out of the study, and he went downstairs, "Mom, they're coming for me. ”

"Oh well, dear." Pauss was a little disappointed, in her eyes, it was obvious that her son was a little more serious than his father, and if it was Tom, she would have enough reason to protect the two children. "Where should I send my tea? Do you want to use a small living room? Or go back to the study? ”

Red looked at his mom strangely, she was just laughing like Ariana was thinking of some funny game, which usually meant that someone was going to be unlucky.

"We needed a quiet place so that there wasn't so much stuff. I'm going to look at the little living room, you can stay here for a cup of tea. Red left the boys to his mother, whatever she wanted to do, even if there was a salad of two Gryffindors on the lunch table.

He walked to the little drawing-room, pushed open the door, and was surprised to see his sister sitting on the couch, elegantly extending one of her hands, while Severus was standing in front of her like a gentleman, bending deeply and holding one of her little hands and kissing them.

"Excuse me." He quickly closed the door and exited, and before leaving, he saw the boy's face flush and shiny, while his sister was urging him, "One more time." ”

He walked back down the hall and saw his father standing behind his mother's seat, with one hand on the back of the sofa, and the two boys sitting across from them, already telling the story of their visit and what had happened at the Lupin house the previous week.

“…… Then we felt it would help Remus. Sirius said as he swallowed the fifth strawberry pie.

"That's right." James is interested in the chocolate pie, and he's trying to wipe out that whole plate.

"So you're here to learn from the Animagus, to help your werewolf friend." Holding a cup of honey tea, Bao Si sighed, "That child is so pitiful. She patted Tom's hand, "What do you think, dear?" ”

"I want to be like you, dear." Tom said, and then he saw his son, "Red, you can use the house on the west side of the third floor, Ariana said she wanted a playroom the other day, it's very empty, all the furniture has been moved out. Just put some cushions in and you can learn how to deform inside. ”

"Thank you! Professor Riddle! The two men said together.

"Okay, Dad, that room is perfect and exactly what we need." Red decides to take his student upstairs, and he slowly reminds, "Ariana and Cypher's little living room, they're playing games." ”

"What game?" Rose asked vigilantly.

Rhett said vaguely, "On the etiquette aspect. ”

Rose decided to go to the small living room to take a look for herself. She took a plate of cookies and left.

Red took the two boys to the third floor, where the room faced west, and the window was open to see the park outside. The view was ok. The furniture in the room has been moved out, and only the wallpaper has not been changed.

The three of them entered, and Red waved his wand to conjure up some large cushions, then sat them down and said, "I want to know how much you know about Animagus first, so that I can judge if I need to start with theory." ”

The two boys maintained their Gryffindor's curiosity and arrow-like mobility, so they both wailed when they heard that they still needed to read books to learn 'theoretical knowledge'.

"Professor, can't we skip this 'theoretical knowledge'?" Sirius suggests that the Blacks teach him that Slytherins are good at taking shortcuts, and that maybe they need to convince Professor Riddle Jr. that they are capable of it?

"Yes, Professor!" James excitedly said, "Actually, we're not bad, I mean, learning spells." As long as we don't learn 'theoretical knowledge'. ”

Red smiled, "Good, I'm sure you don't know anything about what we're going to learn." Let's start with theoretical knowledge. With another wave of his wand, fifty or sixty brick-thick books suddenly appeared in front of the two boys.

"Oh no! I've had enough of these books! James fell on the cushion, and after the previous year's study nightmares, he didn't want to see any more books. Sirius was like him.

"Be happy. I think you're still very good at reading. Red sat down, picked out two books from them, and handed them to them.

They spent the whole morning reading books. When it's lunchtime, the elf Habitt comes to inform them. James said enviously: "Elf, my mother has always wanted one, and I want too, I heard that they can clean up my room in an instant." "He's given up saving his room, and Mrs. Potter says when he's married, 'It's all your wife!' Thanks Merlin! It won't be my problem forever! ’。

Sirius struck him: "Don't do that, James, they're nowhere near as good as you think, trust me, I have one at home." Kreacher is my nightmare, and it appears in every corner of my home reminding me that I should walk well instead of sliding down stairs or hallways and tap-dancing. ”

At lunch, they met their classmates again. He sat at the table, with the Riddle family instead of being a guest. When he saw them, he almost squeezed their names out between his teeth: "Blake, Potter." It must have been uncomfortable for him to greet them first, but he did.

He nodded at them.

Sirius smirked politely, and James quickly found his seat and sat down. It's painful to see people you hate during the summer vacation, and they all feel the same way.

Lunch was as good as in school, there was a wide variety of dishes, and they were all on the table, and they could even reach with their hands instead of with a knife and fork. Probably because half of the table was filled with children, Mrs. Riddle prepared a lot of fried chicken and fries, a kind of food that children would love.

"How did you study in the morning?" Rose asked curiously, she had been wanting to see them since she knew they wanted to become animals, but although she had two adult wizards in her family, they were undoubtedly not good at this.

"We read books all morning." Sirius grimaced, and it looked like he didn't like the arrangement very much.

"I probably know that as long as we don't go crazy and think that we are an animal and really become it, then it is called success." James was very distrustful of the Animagus described in the book, what it means to 'listen to the cry of the heart', 'find your true self', 'you will find the world and the wide'. It all looks like a lie.

"It seems that you are still very far from success." Pauss understood, "Do you want to continue in the afternoon?" Do you need afternoon tea? ”

"We'll do something goodbye in the afternoon." Red came up with an idea, "I'll take them to the London Zoo to see them, maybe it will help to get closer to the animals." ”

"Wow!" Ariana's eyes lit up.

"Do you want to check it out? My little princess. "Red is very willing to pamper his little sister.

"Of course!" She said this, grabbing the sleeve of Severus, who was sitting next to her.

The two Gryffindors sitting across from each other had a one-on-one fight with the Slytherin, and it seemed like they both thought the proposal was terrible.

"Are you all going? Do you need me to get you some sandwiches? Paoth asked. She looked at the three boys across the table, and it was funny, they were sitting together in England and France.

Two Gryffindors and a Slytherin fight with fierce eyes, good, it looks like they're going to have a picnic together?

All four Riddles watched the war at the dinner table, and they were smiling and looking like everything was so good.

"Well, let's go in a moment." Red wiped his mouth with a napkin.

Ariana drank all the juice from her glass and ran back to her room to change her dress, she was going to wear her dress.

"Mom, are you going with us?" Red asked.

"No, I'm going to stay at home and prepare dinner, and you'll come back for dinner, right?" Pauss regretted that she really wanted to follow.

"Yes, we'll be back by five o'clock." Red had gone with the three boys, and he needed to tell them that they had to be obedient at the London Zoo this afternoon, like Paus, had tidied up the kitchen, no quarrels, no curses, so they would have a relaxing afternoon.

When only Paise and Tom were left in the restaurant, she couldn't help but ask her husband, "Dear, what is your shapeshift?" ”

Tom also eats his chicken cutlet, and he takes a sip of mineral water: "No, I don't like that kind of meaningless magic. ”

"That means, you don't know the Animagus, do you?" Rose affirmed.

Tom "......" firmly cut the last piece of chicken with a silver knife, using more than necessary.

Rose sighed, "I'd love to see what the wizards in the house will become, you know it must be interesting." ”

"Not at all." After Tom finished eating his chicken, he put down his knife and fork and said, "What kind of animal it becomes, the wizard can't control it." He doesn't change whatever he wants, but on the other hand, the Animagus Avatar is definitely for him. ”

Baosi didn't understand: "What does this mean?" ”

Tom brought himself a jam tart: "It means that some wizards can't accept their own transformation." You see, it's not all cute, or powerful, or powerful. ”

"For example?" Rose said.

"Like rats, cockroaches, flies. Can you imagine yourself becoming an insect? Tom smirked.

Ross frowned disgustingly, well, she remembered that one of the three boys seemed to have turned into a mouse.

"And," Tom was happy to hit his wife with the unknown, and it was nice to see how many times she had hit him. "The Wizard Animagus state is that they cannot use a wand, and when they are animals, they have no magic and cannot turn to the wizard for help. There are many wizards who have died after their transformation for one reason or another, so the Ministry of Magic requires Animagus to register so as not to cause such an accident. ”

He gave an example: "I remember that in the history of magic, Mr. Accdes was the first ever successful wizard ever to be in shape—just speculation. According to his wife, she found an octopus in her kitchen and used it for dinner, and her husband had been missing since that night — she swore she couldn't buy that fresh octopus around her house. Judging from the experiments that Mr. Acades had conducted, it was likely that he wanted to perform the Animagus transformation, and if he succeeded, he wanted his wife to see it. Of course, tragedy also happened. ”

Just at this time, Sirius and James' faces turned pale.

James said with difficulty: "Merlin, I hope I'm a safe animal, not easy to be put on the table." ”

The author has something to say: see you tomorrow
