Chapter 322 Sirius' Christmas 2
In the end, James and Sirius filled out "going home" on their Christmas vacation schedule.
Sirius and James got off the train after the Hogwarts Express stopped. The Potters, who had been waiting on the platform for a long time, saw James with sharp eyes, and supported each other to meet him quickly.
"Sirius, these are my parents!" James pulled Sirius to introduce his parents to him.
"This is Sirius! Sirius Black, my best friend!" After introducing the parents in front of him to Sirius, James turned his head and introduced Sirius to Fremont and Euphemia.
James didn't deliberately avoid Sirius' surname, because he knew that his parents were not the kind of people who would hold prejudice against Sirius just because of a surname.
What's more, Doria Potter, the wife of his distant cousin Charles Potter, was also named Black before marrying.
If you really want to build a relationship, Doria Potter (Black) is still Sirius' grandfather and sister!
In other words, James is Sirius' distant uncle who is not related by blood. 2
With this kinship, the Potters will not have prejudice against Sirius, not to mention that Sirius is still the "best friend" that James writes about in every letter he sends home!
The Potters greeted Sirius gently, and took James to accompany Sirius to stay on the platform for a while, until the person from the Black family who came to pick up the child appeared, and then they gave Sirius to the family with confidence.
It was Sirius' uncle and cousin Alphard who came to pick up the children at the station, and he was also the uncle of the three Black sisters.
Alphard may be a celibate, or he may not have met his favorite witch or wizard, and he has not yet married at this time.
With his cousin Lucretia, cousin Orion, sister Walburga, and brother Signus all married and married, he is still single like a rare animal in the Black family.
Of course, everyone doesn't know whether Alphard has a confidante or a blue-faced confidant outside, so this single may have a question mark.
Alphad has no children, so he treats his nephews and nieces as his own.
But people always have their own preferences and preferences. Among the juniors, Alphard likes Sirius the most. 3
Among the five children in the family, Alphard liked Sirius more, not because of some idealized and lofty reason like "Sirius has the most fighting spirit".
Just because Sirius was the only one in the whole family who dared to quarrel with his one-man sister, Sirius' biological mother, Walburga, Sirius would openly oppose questioning her, and even directly challenge her authority.
Alphard: It's the first time I've seen someone so brave after growing up so big and living so long! —Come on, Sirius!Uncle is optimistic about you! (waving the flag and shouting)
Although I don't know why it was Uncle Alphard who came to pick them up today, I have to say that when they saw that it was Alphard, Sirius and the three Bella sisters subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
at least……
If it's Alphard, at least he won't make jokes in public.
Sirius looked at the "Warrior" with teasing eyes from his uncle Alphad, Bella's cold face and cold snorts from time to time, Andromeda's concerned and worried eyes, and Narcissa's complex expression that wanted to say something but couldn't say it , A group of people returned home in this weird atmosphere.
Sirius originally thought that when he returned to Black's house, he would be greeted by the wrath of his mother Walburga.
So he made enough mental preparations. After the three cousins entered the door one by one, he took a deep breath, pushed the door open like a strong man going to death, and strode in.
"Why did you just come back! What are you doing dawdling at the door! Hurry up and take the measurements!"
The expected sharp curses and high-pitched accusations did not appear, what exploded in Sirius' ears was Walb's urging to hold back his anger.
------
1: Neither the original work nor the supplementary materials clearly mention the seniority of James and Charles Potter, only that the two are distant relatives, because it was set earlier in this article that Charles Potter is Fremont Potter's distant cousin, so here Charles Potter is James' distant cousin.
2: It is known that Doria is the younger sister of Sirius’ grandfather and Walburga’s father Borox Black, so it can be known that Doria is Sirius’ aunt, and Doria is also James’ distant room Aunt, it can finally be concluded that James is a generation older than Sirius, so it can be said that James is Sirius' distant uncle who has no blood relationship.
3: Alphard was delisted in hp after Sirius was delisted. The reasons for delisting were not "pro-Muggles", "marrying a pure-blood traitor", "marrying a hemp-seeded wizard" like the others who were delisted in the Black family. ", but because he helped Sirius.
Yes, you read that right!Alphard was expelled from the family because of helping his underage nephew Sirius, and was expelled by his nephew's mother and his own sister!
Whoever sees it will not say that Walburga is already crazy at this time, and even the dog has to slap her twice when walking on the road. The son who ran away from home couldn't see it.
Of course, it is also possible that Alphard's aid to Sirius ruined her plan. She might want Sirius to accept the beatings of the society outside and realize the reality. Worrying about money, only when he begins to realize the dangers of society, will he realize that his family is doing his best.
And Alphard's actions disrupted Walburga's plan, so she became angry and "handled" Alphard together!
However, Walburga may be limited by Slytherin's so-called extreme education that puts interests first, and she did not consider that Sirius still has friends who treat him sincerely.
After Sirius left home, James brought him back to the Potters' house. Fremont and Euphemia immediately raised their children and treated Sirius like family. (It can be said that even without Alphard's help, Sirius would not be able to accept the beatings of the society)
