Chapter 318 316 and Sirius's confession

However, Feeney and the others did not stay at Nico Manor for long.

After finishing things at Hope School, they returned to England.

In the end, Hope still chose to finish the last year of school, which Feeney could not deny. Hogwarts does not accept transfer students. So Feeney handled the loan application for Hope, and Hogwarts was not included in the war between the four houses. It was just because Feeney's dormitory was in Slytherin, so she also joined. Slytherin.

There were still a few days before the start of school, and Feeney sent Hope to Lisa Manor. Sirius didn't know anything about Hope yet, so Feeney would not directly bring Hope to him and talk to him. Said, this is your daughter, yes, it was given to you by that scumbag female classmate when you were in school.

In this way, Sirius would have to scold Finny a few times even if he didn't hit him.

. . . . . . . . . .

No. 20 Grimmauld Place, in the old house of the Black family.

"You're back?"

Sirius was sitting on the sofa in the living room on the second floor, reading the newspaper in his hand. When he heard Feeny coming upstairs, he slightly raised his eyes and glanced at him, and said lightly,

He was not surprised by Finny's return. The secret magic of No. 12 Grimmauld Place was very perfect. Knowing that there were not many people here, the only ones who could come here at this time were Harry and Finny. And Harry is sleeping upstairs now,

Yes, because of Finny, Voldemort is dead. Although he is not completely dead, he has no influence on Harry.

So Harry simply skipped the week when he returned to his aunt's house every holiday, and moved directly to live next to Sirius, in Number 12 Grimmauld Place.

"Well, I'm back."

Feeney's tone was also very calm. He walked to Sirius, sat down, and continued,

"Sirius, I have something to tell you."

Upon hearing this, Sirius put the newspaper aside and looked at Feeney, waiting for what Feeney would say next.

He knows that his younger brother handles almost everything very well. If he can talk to him solemnly like this, it must be a very serious matter.

Finny looked at Sirius and spoke slowly,

"When I got engaged, I asked you about finding a girlfriend. Your expression was very interesting at that time, so I asked someone to check your previous affairs at Hogwarts."

Sirius' face changed slightly. He had obviously guessed what Feeney was going to say next.

Finny ignored Sirius's expression change and continued,

"So I found Haley Jones. As far as I know, she stayed with you for one night before she dropped out of school. What happened on that night that made her drop out of school or even move?"

When Sirius heard this, his eyes suddenly became distracted, and his slightly dull eyes were filled with a touch of nostalgia and regret.

Feeney continued,

"I don't know what happened that night, but I still found Hailey and found out her current situation."

Sirius's distracted eyes suddenly condensed, he looked at Finny, and asked in a slightly hoarse voice,

"Is she,,,,, doing well?"

Feeney nodded and said,

"It's not bad. After dropping out of Hogwarts, their family moved away from London and moved to France for the first year. They met a man named Klaus Mikaelson. After that, the two got married and had a relationship. A daughter named Hope. Oh, by the way, this Hope is not Klaus’s daughter, but was born in the year when Hailey disappeared in England.”

When Sirius heard this, he became excited for a moment, but then he calmed down and said,

"Then, are their lives going smoothly now?"

Feeney's lips curled up slightly, and he said in a playful tone,

"How should I put it? Hailey and Klaus passed away two years ago. Hope was studying alone in Beauxbatons. Not long ago, she was kidnapped by the eldest son of the Bryant family in France."

Sirius's face suddenly turned ugly, and he stood up suddenly to leave.

Seeing this, Feeney asked with a smile,

"Sirius, where are you going?"

Sirius took a deep breath and looked back at Finny.

"That Hope may be my daughter, so I went to save her."

Feeney said calmly,

"Bryant's preferences are quite special. An average girl wouldn't survive a night in his hands."

Sirius paused as he walked out and stopped in place. He lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking. After a moment, he looked back at Finny and said,

"I'm going to war with them!"

After hearing this, Finny stood up with a smile and came to Sirius's side.

"Since you value Hope so much, why have you never thought of finding them before? With Black's power, it's not difficult to find someone, isn't it?"

"Looking at your situation, you are pretty sure that Hope is your daughter. Therefore, the reason why Hailey dropped out of school was because she was pregnant with your child. So why didn't you find her at that time?"

Several questions in succession brought out all of Feeney's doubts.

Sirius sighed, returned to the sofa, looked at Finny and said helplessly,

"I was young and vigorous at the time, and Hailey wanted to break up with me because I almost killed Snape. I was a little unwilling to accept it, so I called her out that night and had sex with her in the Room of Requirement. "

Finny could hear the regret in Sirius' voice,

"Afterwards, when I woke up, I thought Hailey would cry, yell, or even fight me, but she didn't. She just cleaned up her situation with tears in her eyes, and then walked out of the room without looking back. She never said a word to me again, and she dropped out of school the next day,"

"It's not that I never thought about finding her, but at that time I was expelled from the family by my mother. I was living in James's house, and I had no way to take care of Hailey. I could also surrender and return to the family, but Hailey's origin It also made it impossible for her to be recognized by the family, so the matter passed like this,"

Finny frowned and glared at Sirius.

"Seriously, if you weren't my brother, I really want to beat you up. What are you doing? If you had been more sensible or braver, I would have had a niece long ago, the Black family It’s not like the population has declined to this extent,”

Sirius also sighed and said,

"It's too late to say anything now,"

"It's not too late,"

Feeney said with a smile,

"This is what I want to talk to you about today. I found Hope and used your blood and hair to identify her. I can confirm that she is your daughter, a direct descendant of the Black family, the one who kidnapped her. I have also taken care of Bryant, and Hope is fine too, but it is precisely because of this incident that she can no longer continue studying in France. I also helped her go through the procedures for borrowing money to study at Hogwarts."

When Sirius heard this, he raised his head and looked at Finny in surprise.

Feeney smiled and said,

"Hope is a very good girl. I at least need to know your attitude before I can decide whether to let her get to know you. Moreover, she must have complaints against you. After all, your impulsiveness has caused her mother to have trouble all her life. You have used magic again, and even because you don’t have a high school degree in the Muggle world, your life in the Muggle world is not very good, and all of this is because of your impulse,"

Sirius sighed and said,

"Yeah, it's all my fault. If it wasn't me,,,,, I'm sorry for Hailey."

Finny patted Sirius on the shoulder and said calmly,

"I don't care how you get along with her, but as the only next generation of the Black family, you must take good care of her! Now she is in Lisa Manor. Go find her yourself. How do you get to know her? You figure it out yourself,"

As he spoke, he yawned, got up and walked upstairs, while saying lightly,

"I'm going to rest first. I rushed back from France and I'm tired and sleepy now."

Sirius looked at Finny's leaving figure and sat alone on the sofa in silence for a long time. The expression on his face kept changing, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

As time passed, the sky gradually dimmed. The candles on the wall were gradually lit, and the shadow shining on Sirius continued to lengthen. He still maintained his previous actions, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Sirius?"

Harry came to the living room and looked at Sirius's movements with some confusion.

At this time Kreacher appeared next to Harry, bowed and said,

"Master Harry, Master Feeney has given instructions. Master Sirius is thinking and asking you not to disturb him. He also said that your sister, Miss Hope, will come back here to live with you soon,"

Speaking of this, Kreacher's old face showed a cheerful smile,

"Kreacher is very excited. The Black family is about to welcome a new member. As the daughter of Master Sirius, Miss Hope must be an excellent pure-blood wizard."

Although Harry was still a little confused, he heard Hope's name and her identity. After thinking about it, he still didn't bother Sirius and followed Kreacher to the restaurant on the basement floor.

By this time Feeney was already sitting there eating his dinner.

"Finny? You're back!"

Harry was a little surprised when he saw Feeney and said,

Finny smiled and nodded at Harry,

"I came back this afternoon. I saw that you were still resting at that time, so I didn't say hello to you. Come and eat. The house elves did a good job today."

Harry nodded, sat next to Feeney, picked up a piece of bread and put it in front of him. When he noticed that he didn't see Puff beside Feeney, he asked,

"Where's Puff? Isn't she always by your side?"

Feeney put down the food in his hand, looked at Harry and said with a smile,

"You know about Hope, right? She is Sirius's daughter. However, Sirius didn't know about her existence before. I found her not long ago, so I asked Puff to stay with her and take care of her temporarily. , but, think about it, she will move here in a few days. Oh, by the way, she will also go to Hogwarts. If you have anything to do, you can go to her. I don’t think she will hate you. This brother’s.”

Hearing this, Harry nodded silently. He was very happy that his godfather had found his biological daughter, but at the same time, he was also a little confused. You know, he, Finny and Sirius themselves were not related, only The relationship with Sirius’s godfather and godson,

(I checked and found out that Harry and Sirius are actually related. Sirius's mother's aunt, Doria Black, married a man named Charlus Potter, so there is a connection between them. They are in contact, but not directly, so there is no kinship here.)

(Speaking of which, there is another very interesting thing. The Flint family, the family that was almost eliminated by Feeney, is also related to Black. Sirius's great-great-great-grandfather married Ursula Flynn. There are also Callidora Black who married Halfon Longbottom, Caris Black who married Casper Crouch, and their second son, Barty Crouch, who is now famous in the wizarding world).

Feeney noticed Harry's confusion and said with a smile,

"Don't think too much about it. Hope's return is because she is a direct descendant of Black, the daughter of Sirius, and my niece. We can't let her be bullied alone in the magical world, and she is now an adult. , it won’t affect you, you are not only Sirius’s godson, but also my friend, right?”

Hearing this, Harry secretly breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and said hesitantly,

"Then,,,,,that,,,,Huo,,,,What kind of person is Hope?"

When Feini heard this, he couldn't help but smile on his face.

"A very kind person."

There was a smile in his tone, which he himself didn't notice, but Harry noticed it, and secretly sighed in his heart. It seemed that Feeny really liked this niece.

However, Finny is a kind person. This comment made Harry feel relieved. He had been worried before that Hope would hate him when he returned and ask him to leave the Black family. You know , after leaving the Vernon family, Harry actually no longer has a home.

The Potter family's ancestral home was demolished by Voldemort more than ten years ago. Now, Harry can only live in the Black family.

If Hope hates him and wants him to leave, he really doesn't know where to go.

However, after hearing Feeney's comments, Harry suddenly looked forward to meeting his nominal sister.

Two days later, Harry saw Sirius returning to No. 12 Grimmauld Place with a very beautiful witch, who must be Hope.

Harry knew that Finny told Hope the location. Otherwise, Sirius wouldn't be able to bring her back. After all, the secret keeper here is Feeney himself.
