Chapter 61: Aitch and Crookshan

"Harry, you're not going to take Malfoy's words to heart, are you?" Ron cautiously tested after Potions lesson.

But his temptation made Harry suspicious, and if it had been before, Ron should have thought of a way to help Harry catch Black and slap Malfoy in the face.

"I'm lying to him, I'm looking for Blake's revenge." Harry followed Malfoy's words and said with a feigned anger, "Since he's at Hogwarts, I'm sure I'll be able to catch him." ”

"Oh no." Ron's face flushed, "That madman is going to kill you." ”

Harry glared at Ron and covered his mouth, as if Dobby had sensed what he had said last year that he shouldn't have said.

"How do you know Black is going to kill me? What the hell are you hiding from me, don't let me know! Harry bit hard.

"Please, don't bother yourself, Harry." Ron covered his mouth, afraid that he would leak something out of his own eyes.

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

Harry blamed Ron for lying to him, "Even if you don't tell me, I'll find out for myself." Think about the first two years, if I wanted to do something, Aitch couldn't stop me, you know very well. ”

"If you're really good for me, tell me I don't want to be a fool who keeps everything in the dark!" Harry clenched his fists.

It wouldn't have been useful if it had been said to Aitch - but for Ron, Harry was his best friend, and thinking that missing a word would be a leak, and missing two would be a leak, so he would have let Harry know everything.

"Okay then." Ron made sure there was no one else around, "I heard it from my parents' conversations, too. ”

Sirius Black was "That Man's" most loyal Death Eater more than a decade ago, but the night you stopped "That Man", Black lost his backer and everything. The next day, when the Ministry of Magic sent the Aurors to arrest him, Black went on a frenzied hunt to kill one of your parents' best friends, causing an explosion that killed thirteen people in one fell swoop. ”

"A spell?" Harry couldn't believe it.

"A spell." Ron was sure that what Harry heard was true, "I heard it was twelve Muggles, and that wizard friend of your parents, and the biggest piece of his body was a finger. ”

For more than a decade, Blake must have been deliberately trying to escape from Azkaban, and some people said he was the number one Death Eater back then. According to my father's guess, Blake must have thought that if he got rid of you, "that man" would be able to regain control of the wizarding world. Blake can also climb to the sky in one step and gain more trust from "that person". ”

"And after Black fled from Azkaban, Minister Fudge went to Azkaban. The Dementor guard tells Fudge that Black has been talking in his sleep for some time. Always say the same thing: "He's at Hogwarts, he's at Hogwarts." "That madman's target must be you."

"As for Malfoy's revenge, I guess it's your father's friend, who was said to have been good enough to wear a pair of pants."

It's no wonder that Minister Fudge stopped talking when Harry asked him to sign the Hogsmeade consent form, and he must have felt that it would be foolproof if Harry could stay at Hogwarts forever. It's no wonder that the school and Harry have become the focus of the Ministry of Magic and the Dementors.

And what bothers Harry the most right now is that his chances of visiting Hogsmeade now seem to be zero. No one would let Harry leave the safety of the castle until Black was arrested; In fact, Harry guessed that his every move would be closely monitored until the danger had passed.

The story of Boggart's appearance as Snape and Neville's letting him wear his grandmother's clothes when Professor Lupin was teaching Gryffindor was spreading quickly around the campus. Snape didn't seem to find this funny. The mention of Professor Lupin's name flashed dangerously in his eyes, and he was bullying Neville even more now than before.

Then Snape was angry that someone had stolen his private pantry, and that the shameless thief had taken away a lot of his treasures. So Snape's eyes were terrible every time he saw Harry and Hermione, who let them have a criminal record, and scared them into destroying potions a few times.

No one really likes the Protecting Magical Creatures class, which comes after the first lesson of dying before the teacher can get started. It became very dull. Despite Dumbledore's protection of Hagrid, who had his punishment revoked and classes restarted after two weeks, Hagrid seemed to have lost the confidence and enthusiasm he had just started. Now students learn lesson after lesson how to take care of the Flober caterpillars, which must be the most annoying creatures right now.

Hermione's elusiveness also made people get used to it, and at first some people were frightened by her sudden appearance from behind, and gradually they all became strange.

In October, the dates for the first Hogsmeade weekend were released early, and the school was scheduled for the end of the month, on Halloween Eve, a bad day for two years in a row with accidents.

During this time, Hermione and Ron's relationship with their pets deteriorated, and now they sometimes don't talk to each other. No one understood why Crookshank Hill was always holding on to Blob, and even Hermione, as the master, couldn't make it obedient at this point.

"Let me talk to it again." Aitch comforted Hermione.

Today, Crookhill heard that Ron had hidden Spotted in his bag, and actually tore his bag. Even though Spotted hid under the cupboard, Crookshan still stretched out his claws to dig it.

Ron also tore her face with Hermione and dropped a cruel remark, saying that Hermione never cared about other people's pets.

Aitch took Crookshank Hill to his dorm and had Erwin play with him, and the two men were on good enough to share food.

In the iron cage, Blake's face was much healthier, completely different from the pale appearance at first. "I said, when are you going to fulfill your promise? If you can't, open the cage and I'll fix it myself. ”

"Don't worry, Blake, I've got my arrangement. Now the potions are not boiled, and there is nothing to be done. Besides, in your current situation, what else is there to choose. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have recovered so quickly, and you might have been caught a long time ago. What's not to be satisfied with? Aitch set up a potion pot in his bedroom. It was much better than last year when Hermione was in the bathroom on the first floor, because it was a single person, in the bedroom, and no one came in to find out. The only house-elf Hill doesn't talk much about anything other than cleaning and taking care of Erwin, so the task of delivering food to Blake, Aitch is also honorably handed over to him.

Throwing a handful of powder made by the Two-Faced Beast into the pot, Aitch closed the lid and grabbed Crookshan. "Crookshan, is that rat really impossible to catch?"

"Meow woo-" Ginger's head hung down in annoyance, and from the first sight of the mouse, Crookshan had noticed that there was a sign of malice on Spotted. It is its natural ability to distinguish between the good and the bad of others, and this is why it has a crush on Hermione at first sight.

Aitch fed him a dried fish in his pocket, "If you can't do it, forget it, the rabbit will bite when it's in a hurry." If you really push him hard and show the prototype, it will put Harry and them in danger. I thought that if you could catch him for me, everything would be easy. ”

"But it looks like I'll have to find another way to force him again, and if I can get him to escape to a place where no one is around, then it'll be convenient for me to clean him up." Edge's eyes reflected the flames under the pot in which the potions were boiled, scorching with the smell of conspiracy.
