After explaining to the new young wizards, McGonagall gathered the others together before speaking.

"Alright, kids, I think you're all sleepy, aren't you? Let's all go to bed! But the prefects have to work harder, and you'll have to take care of the management and guards..."

Several prefects nodded, although they were sleepy, they still forced themselves to cheer up, and Percy was even more like a chicken blood, he regarded this as his responsibility and right as a prefect!

Just as the young wizards were about to get into their sleeping bags and fall asleep, McGonagall remembered something and stopped Ivan alone.

"Hals! You did a good job this time, calming everyone's emotions at the first time, and taking everyone to the break room, stopping a possible riot..."

"Professor, this is what I should do!" Ivan said modestly.

"So as a professor, I also need to do what I have to do, like... Add fifty points to you! Professor McGonagall smiled, then patted him on the shoulder, and continued.

"That's all I have to say, go to sleep, we have class tomorrow!"

"Yes!" Ivan nodded, turned around and found a sleeping bag in the divided area, while quietly taking the note Sirius had handed him out of his pocket and opening it in the bag to look at it.

Just as he thought, on the back was a message from Sirius, telling him to meet in the passage below the beating willow the next evening.

After reading what was written in the note, Ivan quickly put it away so as not to be discovered, and then fell asleep when sleepiness hit.

The night went by in a flash...

At six or seven o'clock the next morning, Professor McGonagall woke up all the young wizards who were sleeping in a daze, and while cleaning up the grounds, she told the professors that they had searched Hogwarts but could not find Sirius.

The little wizards who learned the news were so worried that even when they went to the toilet, a large group of people walked together, for fear that something bad would happen to them if they were left alone.

Although Sirius was aimed at Harry, everyone knew that he was a vicious criminal who might have killed someone else.

As a result, Hogwarts was enveloped in tension throughout the day, with everyone talking about Sirius, speculating about how he had slipped into Hogwarts Castle, and all kinds of theories becoming more and more bizarre.

Hufflepuff's Hannah Abbott, for example, ventured to guess that Blake would turn into a flowering bush, but when others asked how a bush grew its legs and came to school, Hannah couldn't answer.

On the contrary, Seamus's remarks won the approval of most people, who felt that Blake was an emotionless killing machine, a complete madman, so the Dementors didn't even perceive his presence...

In his spare time, Ron enthusiastically told the interested little wizards how terrifying Sirius was and how he was scared away by them.

In Ron's story, the biggest hero is naturally his baby Mouse Spotted, whose terrible cry wakes everyone in the dormitory and prevents Sirius's evil assassination plan from succeeding.

For a moment, the gray-black rat almost became a Gryffindor hero in Ron's mouth...

The Gryffindor wizards listened to it with relish at first, but when Ron told the story for the seventh time and exaggerated it more and more, telling him that his rats scared Sirius away by staring, everyone took it as a joke...

Peter Pettigrew himself is even more confused,

What the? Did you scare Blake away? But why doesn't he remember anything?

Even the news of Sirius' invasion, Peter had only heard it in the morning from the conversations of the little wizards.

Ron's exaggerated rhetoric made Peter think that Ron was just making up stories, but he soon realized that something was wrong, that something so big happened last night, and he shouldn't have slept so dead...

Peter thought more and more, but he didn't notice a pair of orange eyes staring at it, and a moment later a cat's paw slowly reached over and slammed it on its tail...

Frightened, Peter turned his head and saw a fluffy cat face, and immediately had no time to think about the mess, and let out a scream from his mouth, and hurried to escape.

But Crookshank's cat's claws were so clawed that Peter couldn't move, and his orange eyes looked at his mottled body, as if he was wondering where to put his mouth off!

"Hey.. You damn cat! Fortunately, Ron found this in time, and quickly slapped the cat's paw of Crook Hill away, saving his own mouse.

Crookshank didn't want to rush forward, but as soon as he jumped up, he was held in Hermione's arms, and he could only wave his limbs in mid-air weakly...

"Stop making a fuss, Crookshan!" Hermione patted Crookshan's head angrily, then looked at Ron's mouse, and when he was about to ask, Ron angrily scolded.

"Shut up your stupid! It almost killed Spotted just now... You'd better get it away from me! ”

"Crook Hill is just doing what it's supposed to do, you know... Cats love to catch mice! Hermione snorted.

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Harry hurriedly spoke out to comfort him, and Ron finally managed to dissipate his anger, but he still kept a straight face.

Hermione didn't even want to pay attention to him!

Hermione was already upset that Ron had trumpeted his pet rat as a hero to scare Sirius away, and what she had learned from Harry was that Ron and his rat did nothing but bark!

Moreover, Ivan had woken up long before Spotted screamed, and she thought that Sirius's panic escape was probably related to Ivan.

Otherwise, a few screaming little wizards would not be able to suppress the ruthless Sirius-Black, who had gone through so much effort to infiltrate Harry and then escape.

"Strange, what about Ivan?" Hermione looked left and right, but was surprised not to see Ivan.

"I don't know, maybe he went to the library, right?" Harry shook his head, guessing.

Neither of them noticed that a gray-white owl was passing by the window, glanced at them, and then flew towards the big banyan tree not far from the lake.
