Hogwarts, where the stars shine

Cassiopeia, Embrace of the Serpent, is a heroic character in a MOBA competitive online game. She is positioned as a mage. She usually appears in the middle lane, and occasionally makes guest appearances in other positions.

Of course, the Cassiopeia mentioned by Mrs. Tonks is definitely not the snake girl in the game.But Cassiopeia Black, also a Slytherin.

Except for Sirius, the remaining Blacks are almost all Slytherins, including Mesa.

Cassiopeia's elder brother is Borlux, who has two sons and one daughter, Walburga who is married to her cousin, Alphard who is expelled from the family, and Mrs. Tonks's father West Genus.

In other words, Cassiopeia Black is Mrs. Tonks' great-aunt, and she is also her biological great-aunt.

Mesa and Andromeda walked out of an inconspicuous antique store while chatting.People on the roadside didn't seem to notice the store, nor did they notice the Mesa duo walking out.

Fertile soil was originally a small town built on the mountains and hills. It was a place where some wizard families lived in seclusion among Muggles.

Unlike the famous Hogsmeade village, the main group living here is Muggles. Hogsmeade is not only the school district of Hogwarts, but also the only all-wizard village in the UK.

Throughout Britain, there are many wizarding retreats like the Fertile Fields, such as Godric's Hollow, Dingworth, Upper Flagley, Ottery St. Catchpole Village, etc.

After walking out of this small shop without a sign, Mesa looked around.

What comes into view are rows of honey-colored old buildings, as well as the refreshing green scenery outside the town.

After just one glance, Mesa fell in love with this small town that exudes a leisurely and comfortable atmosphere.He sighed softly: "What a picturesque town!"

"We call this place Fertile Fields, and Muggles call it Stowe Town." Mrs. Tonks said, "Let's go this way."

Under the leadership of Mrs. Tonks, the two passed by beautiful old buildings and passed through several deep and quiet alleys, heading out of the town.

Not long after, a courtyard surrounded by greenery appeared in front of Mesa.

Half a man's height of green bushes formed a wall, and under the shade was a cobblestone path. There was a two-story spire building in the center of the yard.

In Mesa's eyes, it was a beautiful courtyard.To the Muggles living in Stowe, it was an overgrown, desolate and dilapidated ruin.

Whenever a curious Muggle approaches, they will see a wooden sign warning of danger.At the same time, Muggles will think of another more important thing, staying away from the courtyard.

"Here we are," said Mrs. Tonks.

As she spoke, she took out her wand and knocked on the wooden door at the entrance to the courtyard.

After a while, the short and thin house elf walked out of the building in the center of the yard and reluctantly opened the wooden door. Her attitude towards Mrs. Tonks was even worse.

This was not a common occurrence among house elves, but Mrs. Tonks looked like she was used to it.Not only was Andromeda not angry, but she also invited Mesa to enter the courtyard with her.

Following the reluctant house elf, Mesa and Andromeda entered the small steeple.

As soon as I walked into the room, a luxurious and exquisite feeling hit my face.The decoration inside the house is mainly in gold and white, with complicated carvings and complex chandeliers, creating a magnificent scene.

Home furnishings composed of hardwood, cherry wood, leather, etc. all exude a sense of luxury, and fabrics such as brocades and tapestries also demonstrate the owner's strong financial resources.

The most conspicuous tapestry is embroidered with the emblem of the Black family: a mountain symbol, two five-pointed stars and a dagger shield, flanked by two leaping greyhounds.

The house elf didn't say a word and had no intention of taking care of Mesa and the other two. He walked straight upstairs, probably to report to his master.

"Let's sit down first," said Mrs. Tonks. "You have seen how unpopular we are."

Mesa nodded. Today he once again saw the "arrogance" of the pure-blood wizard family.Even the lowliest house-elves look down upon so-called blood traitors.

The house elf looked at Andromeda just now, as if she were looking at a pile of garbage.The disgust in his eyes was almost overflowing to the sky.

"The situation is similar to what I imagined." Mesa said with a smile, "It's good that they didn't beat us out. After all, we were bad guests today."

At this time, a majestic and old-fashioned old female voice sounded. She said: "Since I know that I am an unpopular person, I shouldn't have thought about coming here in the first place."

A pale old woman with silver hair was walking into the living room along the stairs at the corner of the room.The old woman's steps were heavy and slow, like candlelight in the wind.

Although her mobility is slow and her age is evident, the old woman's back is straight and has not bent due to the passage of time.

Mrs. Tonks stepped forward and wanted to help her aunt, but Cassiopeia did not appreciate it.

The old woman waved her niece away, staggered to the sofa, and sat down slowly.

Only then did Cassiopeia speak again. She said, "Since you married that despicable mudblood, the relationship between us has been severed. Why are you here today?"

Cassiopeia Black looked really old, wrinkles had covered her cheeks, and her skinny body could not hold up her luxurious clothes.

Even so, Cassiopeia's silver hair was still neatly combed, and her eyebrows were even more domineering.She and her great-niece are completely different styles of Blake.

Mrs. Tonks looked a little ugly. No one's husband would look good if his husband was viciously humiliated.Although she wanted to slam the door and leave immediately, Mrs. Tonks did not forget the purpose of her trip.

She pointed at Mesa and said, "It's for this child. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't come to visit."

Cassiopeia looked at Mesa with disdain, her haughty gaze making people very uncomfortable.It was as if Cassiopeia was not looking at a human being but a despicable animal.

"Is this the bastard born between you and that mudblood?" Cassiopeia said disdainfully, "He doesn't look much like you!"

Cassiopeia verbally insulted her again and again. The good-tempered Andromeda could bear it, but the explosive Mesa didn't want to endure it anymore.

Mesa smiled equally contemptuously and said: "This house is beautiful, but your obscene words ruined everything here. Since that dirty word, this ornate house has turned into a barn."

As he spoke, Mesa threw the Black crest that he was playing with on the table like trash.The sound of the silver coat of arms hitting the table was loud and harsh.

The reason why Andromeda came to visit Cassiopeia today was all because of Mesa.

At this moment, Andromeda was being insulted, and if Mesa didn't say anything, he wouldn't be who he was.

Therefore, even though he knew that his behavior was stupid, Mesa decided to verbally angrily attack Cassiopeia.Mesa felt uncomfortable if she didn't say something to the old lady and vent her emotions.

Cassiopeia looked at Mesa in surprise. She seemed not to have thought that the despicable wild boy in front of her would dare to insult the noble Black.

"I will throw away all the furniture in the house and clean the house several times," Cassiopeia said, "so that the stinky smell can be washed away."

The arrogant old lady said this while fanning her hand in disgust.

It seemed that the visits of Mesa and Andromeda had defiled the home of Black's ancestors.

Mesa wanted to say something else. He had never been afraid of anyone except Snape.But Mrs. Tonks stopped Mesa who wanted to continue outputting.

"We are not here to quarrel with you, nor to debate whether pure-blood supremacy is correct or not." Andromeda Tonks said, "but there is something we want to ask you clearly. This matter It’s about the Black family.”

When she heard that it was about the Black family, Cassiopeia put away her disgusted face.Although Cassiopeia didn't believe that the two people in front of her could tell anything big.

"His name is Mesa Marius Black," Mrs. Tonks continued. "Do you remember that?"

After learning Mesa's name, Cassiopeia looked at Mesa again.Although the old lady's eyes were still full of disgust, she looked at him extremely seriously this time.
