News of Sirius' reappearance soon spread throughout Hogwarts. Gryffindor also lost face for it.
"Did you hear? Sirius Black actually entered the Gryffindor common room in the open. β
"What? how could Sirius have a Gryffindor password? Portraits wouldn't let a person without a password enter the common room. β
"Who knows, Sirius is said to have read the password from a small piece of paper, and that piece of paper had Gryffindor's password for the whole week. β
"Who would be stupid enough to write down the week's password and put it all around? Gryffindor, for all its notoriously reckless, would not have done such a stupid thing. β
"I can't believe it, but according to Gryffindor, it's Longbottom, the Neville Longbottom ...... who has a bad memory."
"It's funny, the reckless Gryffindor is bad enough, and now add a stupid student with a bad memory......"
Similar talk can be heard throughout Hogwarts. Professor McGonagall was furious and forbade Neville to return to Hogsmeade. He was also locked up in confinement, and no one was allowed to give him the password to enter the tower. Poor Neville had to wait in the common room every night to see if anyone could take him in.
The security inside the castle has been raised to another level, and Professor Flitwick is holding a large picture of Blake and teaching everyone who guards the front door to recognize. Filch suddenly rushed back and forth in the hallway, and he threw the plank and nailed it to the small cracks in the walls to the rat holes. Sir Cadogan was dismissed. His portrait was put back on the lonely staircase on the eighth floor, and the fat lady returned. The fat lady was professionally repaired, but she was still extremely nervous, and her return to work was conditional: she had to be extra protected. The school hires a group of rude and rude gnomes to protect her. They walked down the hallway at a menacing pace, muttering and comparing the size of the sticks in their hands.
Ron has become a celebrity. People are paying more attention to him now than to Harry. Compared to a murderous maniac who escaped from Azkaban to recreate Hogwarts, people immediately forgot about Harry Potter because the Dementors were once again admitted to the school hospital.
It was the first time in Ron's life that he had been treated like this, and he clearly enjoyed the experience. Although Ron is still devastated by the events of that night, he is happy to tell SΓΉ what happened to them whenever someone asks, and he adds many details. "I fell asleep, I heard the sound of tearing, I thought I was dreaming, you know? I woke up, and one side of the curtain on the side of the bed had been torn off, and I rolled over, and I saw him standing in front of me. He looked at me, I looked at him, and then I screamed and he ran away. β
"Ron, I'm sure you have a gift for being a bard, and every time you listen to this story of yours, you always hear something new. Silver grinned and patted Ron on the shoulder. "I have to admit that Harry is nowhere near as good at describing things as you are in this regard. At this time, the second-year girl who had been listening to his creepy story had just dispersed.
Ron's ears turned red. "Jack, you ......"
"Don't worry, although Harry has an inexplicable hostility towards me right now, I won't be angry with you for it. After all, the relationship between the Weasleys and my Silver family has always been relatively harmonious, so we don't have to worry about making things unpleasant between the two of us because of Harry. Silver said unconcernedly.
Ron looked greatly relieved.
"Ron, I'm going to ask you about the situation again, and you have to tell me the truth, because it's important. β
"No problem, I'll be completely truthful. Ron said.
"Blake did come to your dorm that night?"
"Yes. β
"Did he go straight to your bed? β
"I don't know, but I'm sure Harry's bed hasn't been flipped. After Harry was admitted to the school hospital, the contents of his bed were still the same. β
"Does Blake look like he's looking for something in your bed?"
Ron touched his chin thoughtfully. "Jack, you don't say I don't think of that, Blake tore open the curtain of my bed, but didn't hurt me with the knife in his hand, as if he was really looking for something. β
Ron was suddenly startled. "Is there anything I have to worry about Black? The whole wizarding world thinks Harry is Black's number one target. β
Silver patted Ron on the shoulder. "Calm down, Ron, it's always good to have some new clues. Now that the school is so heavily guarded, Blake won't have a chance to enter the Gryffindor common room again. β
"If you're really not at ease. Silver added, narrowing his eyes. "You could have given this clue to Professor McGonagall or Professor Dumbledore, and I'm sure they'll get some valuable news out of it. β
An earth-shattering bang came from the auditorium.
"Neville, you bastard!"
"You have brought shame on the Longbottom family that cannot be washed away! Do you know how ashamed I am? I have not dared to go out to face my other old friends these days! What am I going to say? Say that because of my grandson's stupidity, I put a murderer Blake in the common room of Gryffindor!"
"If you do something stupid like this again, I'll take you out of Hogwarts!"
β¦β¦
The voice of a shrill old woman echoed through the Great Hall, and even Silver and Ron in the second-floor hallway could hear it clearly.
Silver shrugged. "Poor Longbottom, may he get through these difficult days. β

"Severus, is there anything important that you came to my office suddenly?" Dumbledore said.
"Headmaster, you know exactly why I'm here. Snape's eyes were steadfast. "There must be moles in our school who help Blake, and there is no doubt that this dangerous element should be driven out. β
"Severus, I believe in him. β
"But don't forget Jì, the stupid Jaime died because he believed in Blake!"
Dumbledore said in an unquestioning tone, "Severus, I believe him, there is a secret in Black's rebellion. And even if Blake did defect to Voldemort. He won't help Blake get into school either. He is on the same page as we are. β
"I hope so, Headmaster. Snape stared silently at Dumbledore for a few minutes. "Hope you're always right. β
