Chapter 31: Clearing the Grievances of Sirius

The time for the joy of the victory always passed very quickly, and it seemed that the Ravenclaw revelry had barely ended, and Merlin had already covered the sky with his black cloak.

The night breeze came from the sea to the west, with a hint of saltiness, and the stars in the sky were as perfect as diamonds. Wizards and witches skim over the city on broomsticks, and the whole world looks wonderful.

However, under this light, in the dark corners of the city, how much crime, tyranny, suffering, plunder, coercion... It burns like a fire on the ground, constantly devouring one poor girl and teenager after another, turning them into soulless walking corpses.

After a long conversation with Cho Chang at noon, Andrew summoned her and Luna to practice the Patronus Charm on the school lawn in the afternoon. With the last Dementor out of control, the Patronus Charm seemed to spread among the students overnight. There were far more people practicing on the field, and all kinds of silver light and mist filled the space, but there were few patronus spirits like Andrew and Autumn.

Taking advantage of the Patronus flying into the Forbidden Forest, Andrew passed the command to the waiting Black. Then there was practice, dinner, self-study, and falling asleep, all as usual, and I didn't even lose sleep because of something on my mind.

In the middle of the night, Andrew was asleep when he was suddenly woken up. When I opened my eyes, I saw Bliss Ackley's anxious face.

"What's wrong, Bliss?" Andrew rubbed his eyes, trying to recover himself from his sleep.

"Andrew, Blake has invaded Hogwarts again!" Bliss's tone could be heard with obvious anxiety, "Professor Flitwick told us to meet in the common room immediately. ”

Andrew pretended not to know anything about the matter, and did not bother to change his clothes, so he hastily tidied his pajamas, jumped out of bed, and went to the common room with his roommates.

This invasion was only the first step in the plan, and it was not only a revival of old things, but also a test of Albus Dunnedo's attitude. Sirius wants to regain his reputation and wash his name, and if he can't get the support of Albus Dumbledore, it will be a fool's dream.

Andrew deduced that the attitude taken by the principal in this matter was at most acquiescence, and he would not stop it or take the initiative to help. The reason is also simple - Albus Dumbledore needs manpower now!

Although the Order of the Phoenix has been reconvened, Albus Dumbard still has few wizards at his disposal. If the sole male heir of the Black family could be recruited openly, then the form would be much better for the Headmaster.

That's why Albus Dumbledore didn't show up, knowing that Sirius had already begun to make a move. It is precisely because Andrew is clear about this that he dares to operate this thing boldly. Besides, Andrew now has the confidence to become another pole of power, and his scruples about Albus Dumbledore are rapidly diminishing.

At this time, many students had gathered in the auditorium, and many others were coming out of the dorm room one after another. Everyone was dressed in pajamas and slippers, the boys were disheveled, and the girls were disheveled, but no one paid attention to their own image, and they all waited anxiously for Professor Flitwick to report on the progress of the incident.

"Children!" began Professor Flitwick's high-pitched voice. Due to his small stature, he had to climb to a desk by the fireplace to make him visible to all.

"I just received the news that Sirius Black had broken into the castle again, this time even passing through the portrait of the Gryffindor common room and entering the dormitory, but fortunately there were no casualties. For now, please do not go back to your dormitory, but rest in the common room. Teachers would conduct a thorough search of the school overnight. ”

Professor Flitwick hurried away after calming the students' emotions, and the students' emotions exploded, and everyone began to discuss the topic of Black's invasion in a chaotic manner.

"There is no doubt that there must be an internal response!" Andrew heard a senior say categorically. "Without the internal response, Blake would not have gotten Gryffindor's password!"

"That's right!" a senior sister agreed. "The last Lupin incident showed how terrible it is to have Nei, and I think Principal Dumbledore should once again thoroughly check the whole school to see if there are any werewolf students involved. ”

Cho squeezed through the crowd and walked over, Andrew nodded at her, and the two walked into the corner.

"Andy, things are going well, are you going to find a way to subdue Blake? Cho said softly, "I can help you convince Hallie Black about this, I think Sirius will care about her opinion." ”

"Well, there shouldn't be much of an incident, and there are no casualties, which means that Blake is still talking. Andrew nodded and said in a low voice, "Blake's trust in the Headmaster has diminished a lot, and although he still insists that the Headmaster had no intention of hurting him in the first place, he is still subconsciously reluctant to think much about Albus allowing him to go directly to Azkaban without trial." I'm going to take advantage of this and see if I can find a way to widen the rift between them. ”

"Are you going to tell Count Lee all the plans, Andy?" Qiu seemed a little worried, "This matter is too sensitive after all, and if it is discovered, it may invite a huge blow." Some things are best kept small...... You'll have to think about ......."

"It's okay, Autumn, at least when it comes to clearing Blake's suspicions, Principal Dumbledore is on the same page as us. Besides, with my father's help, we won't be completely blind to the situation at the Ministry of Magic. Andrew patted her on the back.

Cho hugged his arm and arched her body into his arms, as if looking for that rare warmth.

The power of rumors is endless, and the next day, before breakfast was over, all the events of the Gryffindor Tower spread across the four tables, and any student interested in the matter could derive a version based on what he knew. And the most authoritative of these is naturally the version described by Ron Weasley, the person who was involved at the time.

"I was asleep at the time, I heard the sound of tearing things, and I thought I was dreaming, you know...... But there was another gust of wind...... I woke up to see one side of the curtain on the side of my bed being torn off...... I rolled over...... I saw him standing in front of meβ€”like a skeleton, with a large mass of filthy hair, and holding a large long knife, which must have been twelve inches long...... He looked at me, I looked at him, and then I screamed and he ran away. ”

"Ron, you're so brave!" said a junior girl, sincerely. Ron's face flushed suddenly, but he still puffed out his chest proudly, taking in the admiring gaze of the onlookers.

Children always like to fantasize, and the more they fantasize, the more they will become a reality. This is the reason why many childhood memories are extremely vague, but extremely long, and these memories are constructed together with the wizard's worldview, which can be said to be the inheritance of the wizard's understanding of the world.

"But why did he run away?" the little girl asked, confused, "he went to the wrong bed, should he continue looking for Harry?"

"It must have been because Brother Ron shouted, he didn't have time. Otherwise, if Professor Dumbledore arrives, he won't be able to escape!" explained the other girl.

Ron's chest was taller, and he felt like he was the savior who saved Harry Potter, Hogwarts, and the world.

"I don't know what the so-called ......" a soft sentence floated by. Ron turned his head in surprise and surprise as Hermione walked towards the Ravenclaw table with a large book in her arms. There, Qiu Zhang was waiting for her with a smile.

"Hermione Granger, do you doubt what I said!" Ron muttered discontentedly. However, Hermione didn't seem to hear it, and sat down next to Cho Chang gently, and the two of them talked and laughed as if no one was around.

"Leave her alone!" Ron turned his head, still angry, "Hermione doesn't know what she's crazy about all this time, and she's running after the Ravenclaws all day. Still struggling with me everywhere, I don't know what's going on!"

"Ron, I remember writing in a book that the worse a girl is to you, the more interesting she is to you, is Hermione interesting to you?" Dean said confusedly. At this age, when he has just had a hazy liking for the opposite sex, Dean has read a lot of "Youth Love Handbook", and is looking for opportunities to practice it these days. You can think of anything you see.

"Huh?" Ron was stunned, not thinking about it at all, and hearing Dean's speculation, Ron's first reaction was that Hermione Granger didn't look good.

Speaking of which, Hermione at this time has not yet grown: her temperament, figure, and appearance are not at the level of a goddess. Before a girl becomes a woman, she is unimaginably naΓ―ve. This can be seen in the rapid transformation of Qiu Zhang. As she and Andrew get closer and closer, Autumn's temperament becomes more and more seductive. If it weren't for Andrew's restraint, Cho would have been Andrew's little woman by now.

"Don't talk nonsense, just like her, whoever likes it, I can't look down on it!" At this time, Ron had no problem saying such a thing, he and Hermione had not experienced life and death tribulations, and he had never had a good impression of Hermione. Ron likes goddesses like Fleur Delacul, and he doesn't look down on Hermione yet.

Harry on the side frowned slightly, feeling that Ron was a little excessive, after all, Hermione was their friend, and it was not a gentleman's thing to do to mock her like this.

It was probably the most high-spirited day Ron had ever been born, and he was the center of attention like never before. Correspondingly, his self-confidence has also swelled infinitely. "Harry, we need to let her know how to make a good Gryffindor!"

"How? you will teach?" a calm voice sounded behind him. Ron turned his head to see that it was the president of the Talley School Council. Although she was wearing the same wizarding robes, the high-minded queen temperament had not diminished at all, and she looked at Ron with disdain on her face at this time, as if Ron was just an insignificant little bug.

"Ron Weasley, who do you think you are? With a little luck and unrealistic braggaking and fantasy, you can become a real hero? But Blake let you go, didn't kill you, you really think of yourself as a hero? Look at the one next to you, you can have his bearing, and you can be considered a gentleman. Tale glanced at Harry Potter, and Harry looked down in embarrassment.

As one of the strongest witches in Gryffindor, Talley's prestige was unshakable, and Ron Weasley didn't dare to refute for a while, his whole face was as red as his hair.

"Senior Sister Talai, Ron is also excited for a while, there is no other meaning, don't embarrass him too much. Percy Weasley suddenly appeared and said to Tale.

Tale snorted coldly, didn't look at Percy at all, and left straight away. Percy patted Ron on the shoulder, "Be careful yourself, don't talk nonsense, spread these unreliable rumors, in case it causes panic, Tale won't let you go." I can only help you so much. After that, he left.

I don't know if the teachers and students of Hogwarts are used to the events that happen from time to time, and the Black invasion didn't cause much panic. There was more speculation about who his guilt was and how he escaped from the castle. All of a sudden, there were quite a few eloquent students in the school who took up a similar storytelling business.

"Blake struck three times on the head of the deer hanging on the castle wall, and with a 'boom' sound, a secret passage was revealed in the wall. This is exactly what Godric Gryffindor left behind when he built the castle, which was supposed to be used as an escape at a critical moment, but he didn't expect to be used by Blake, who discovered the secret......" Ernie McMillan said with spit and a group of students gathered around him to listen happily.

"There are so few entertainment items for wizards, and storytelling is so popular. Andrew shook his head and sighed, "Autumn, how about we go to the Muggles and get some TVs? You won't be bored enough to listen to this kind of story to relieve your boredom. ”

"Andy, there is no electricity at Hogwarts, and magic will not only affect the signal, but also the operation of the television, and maybe it will smoke before it starts. Qiu Zhang rolled her eyes speechlessly, speechless for her boyfriend's whimsical state that appeared from time to time.

"Tomorrow is Hogsmeade Weekend, and with the props from Jokowi's joke shop, everyone will be able to find something interesting to do. Autumn pursed his lips and smiled, "It's just that Mr. Filch is going to be in pain for a while." ”

"By the way, you can get up and go to Hogsmeade tomorrow, I have to stay in school. Andrew, as if remembering something, slapped his forehead sharply. "I can't relax yet, and I have to continue to follow up. ”

"Do you want me to ask Hallie Black to create some opportunities for you?" said Qiu Zhang empathetically, "What are you going to talk to him about?"

"For the time being, I'm not going to talk to him in depth, after all, Principal Albus Dumbledore hasn't taken action in this matter, and I don't dare to make a random move. Andrew smiled weirdly, "This plan is inseparable from the acquiescence of Principal Dumbledore." ”

Early the next morning, Andrew went to the school gate to bid farewell to Cho and Cho Chang, and returned to the castle alone, which had already seemed empty.

It seemed that all of a sudden, the castle was empty. The sound of his footsteps echoed hollowly through the hallways, but there was no armor to sing half a song to him or Peeves to jump out and play some prank on him.

There were no students in the hallway. Most of the first- and second-year students who couldn't go to Hogsmeade stayed in the common room to spend their rare leisure time, spending long weekends with pumpkin juice and wizarding chess, while studious students mostly gathered in the library, and there were no seniors to compete with them for a place in order to have a better learning environment, and of course, there were no special students like Neville Longbottom, who ran early in the morning to find the herb professor to take care of the Shuluo pot. No one is going to wander around the castle at this time.

With no one around, Andrew walked to a corner and leaned against the stone wall, hiding his body in the shadow cast by the wall. It doesn't matter anything else, just to get a sense of psychological security. From this, it can be seen that the desire for safety and solidity has always been firmly in the soul of his doomsday warrior. Maybe that's why he's always trying to change things.

He took out a boxy piece of parchment from the pocket of his robe, took out a poplar wand and pointed it on it, and whispered, "Time and space breakthrough!"
