Chapter 151: Otters and Hounds

Since Mr. Weasley called Harry aside for a private conversation before leaving, Vio, Hermione, and Ginny got on the bus first to find the empty carriages, but all the carriages were full, except for the last compartment that was not. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

There was only one person in the carriage, and this man was sitting by the window, asleep.

The Hogwarts Express is usually used by students, who have never seen an adult here, except for the witch who pushed the food cart for them. Hermione and Ginny stood on the threshold and hesitated.

Vio recognized him as the man she had just seen at the station, and before Hermione could say anything, she softly opened the door and went in, Hermione had to follow, and comforted Ginny, saying, "There is no other choice, this is not bad." ”

By this time, Lupin had already taken off his old trench coat, and he was wearing an extremely shabby wizard's robe, which still had patches in several places. He looked sick and exhausted.

VIO clearly knows that as a werewolf with a certain degree of danger, Lupin should have had a hard time these years.

After they sat down, Ginny was packing her bags when Ron and Harry walked over, and Harry seemed to be eager to tell them something, so he muttered to Ron, Hermione, and Vio, "I have something I want to talk to you about privately"

Ginny's face had been red from the moment Harry had entered, and now it was as red as the burning sun. Ron didn't notice, just said to her, "Get out, Ginny, I just saw that Slytherin kid RΓΆm looking for you." ”

"Oh, that's good. Ginny said unabashedly, glared at Ron, and walked away with a haughty flick of her hair.

Then they both sat down, as far away from the window as possible.

"Who do you think he is?" Ron asked with his eyes in all directions, then landed on Lupin, and shrieked.

"Professor R.J. Lupin. Hermione blurted out without thinking, and then looked at Ron as he wanted to ask again, she pointed out the luggage rack on Lupin's head to Harry and Ron, where there was a small worn-out trunk with a zipper that looked exactly like an ornament, only the ropes were neatly knotted to keep the contents from falling out.

Underneath one of the tiny knots, Lupin's name is stamped on it, and some of the corners of the letters have peeled off.

"What will he teach?" said Ron, frowning at Lupin's lifeless silhouette. "It looks like a single wave of his wand and a spell can kill him. ”

Hermione gave him a blank look, then whispered, "There's only one empty seat, right? Defence Against the Dark Arts." ”

Ron pursed his lips, seemingly unimpressed, "It's going to be another year wasted on this class, all right, Harry, what are you going to tell us?"

Harry began to say what he had wanted to say early in the morning: "Listen, when I went downstairs last night to get you a rat tonic, I happened to hear your mom and dad talking and they said Sirius was looking for me. Before I got in the car, Mr. Weasley told me not to go to Sirius."

After he finished speaking, Ron seemed to have been struck by lightning, and Vio looked out the window carefully, thinking about when he would write a letter back to ask Sirius how he was doing.

Hermione covered her mouth with her hands, she must have read a lot of Daily Prophet and Muggle Daily during the summer vacation, and thus learned a lot about Sirius's murder case.

Finally she put down her hand and said, "Sirius Black escaped to chase you?" Oh, Harry, you have to be more careful, very careful." Don't ask for trouble, Harry. ”

"I'm not asking for trouble," Harry said angrily, "and it's usually always the trouble that comes to me. ”

"How stupid would Harry be to go find a madman who wants to kill him?" Ron said, trembling.

"But come to think of it, if normal people think that Harry wouldn't want to find a madman who is going to kill him, then what does Mr. Weasley's warning mean?" Vio whispered.

Hermione gave her a look of approval, her first instinct was to ignore this crucial issue for Harry's safety.

"That's an interesting sign. She was no longer afraid, but had the audacity to think seriously about the circumstances under which Harry would take the initiative to find Sirius. "Unless Harry, you have a certain vendetta against him. Or, you have an intimate relationship with him. ”

"There's no way Harry could have had an intimate relationship with that kind of murderer!" Ron exclaimed, unconvinced, and then reacted that there was another person sleeping, so he dramatically lowered his voice, "Hermione, Azkaban is not something that anyone can escape from before, how much grudge does he and Harry need to have to inspire him to escape from Azkaban!"

Harry moved bitterly, he was almost numb with fear, and even hoped in his heart that Sirius would appear before him so that he could make a decision.

"But they're going to catch him, aren't they?" Hermione said sincerely, "I mean. They had already called all the Muggles to him. ”

"I'm afraid that's not necessarily a good thing," said Vio, "and if they catch Sirius, Harry will probably never know what kind of relationship he has with Sirius for the rest of his life." ”

Hermione looked at Vio with a deep sense of inquiry, "Vio, your ideas are as radical as Ron's now, it's a murderer, and Harry had better never meet Sirius for the rest of his life." ”

"Where's the noise?" said Ron suddenly. A faint whistle came from somewhere. They searched around in the carriage.

"From your box, hah. Ron said, standing up and going to the luggage rack to get the suitcase. In a few moments, he took the pocket speculum out of Harry's robes. It swirled quickly in Ron's palm, and it was brilliant.

"Is this a speculum?" asked He, looking at it sensitively, standing up to take a closer look. "It is said that the speculum can alert the owner when something is wrong around him. ”

"yes, but you know, it's cheap. Ron said, "When I put it on Errol's lap to give it to Harry, it went crazy. ”

"Were you doing something at the time?" asked Hermione sharply.

"No, well, I shouldn't have used Errol. You know it's not very good for long journeys, but how can I give Harry a gift without that?"

"Stuff it back in the box," Harry said. Because the thing screamed so loudly, "Or should wake him up." He nodded to Professor Lupin.

Ron was about to slip the speculum into one of Uncle Vernon's old socks for Harry when the furball in Vio's pocket suddenly jumped out, and the furball jumped onto the bassinet where Crookhill was sleeping as if it had been affected by something, and rolled around on it, completely waking Crookshank Mount, causing it to crawl out of the basket with a roar.

Ron reflexively clutched his chest pocket at the sight of Crookshan, but then he breathed a sigh of relief and pulled another furball out of his pocket.

"Ha, I almost forgot, Spotted was put in the little cage in my suitcase. Now it's this little thing in my pocket. Ron said, placing his furball on the ground and letting Vio's furball play with it.

"Do you want to give them a name?" asked Vio. "Hermione, I don't have much inspiration for this, help. ”

Hermione looked interested. "Why don't you call Lutra and Doug?"

"Otter and Terrier?" Vio found the names interesting, as the otter was Hermione's patronus, and Ron's happened to be a hound.

Unexpectedly, Ron fully agreed with Hermione for taking these two names, and he stroked his hairball lovingly, saying, "This is Doug, Doug Weasley." ”

Hermione was happy, but also a little surprised, since she bought Crook Hill, Ron had always been a little hostile to her, and today was finally better. (To be continued.) )
