Section I

Before I knew it, winter had come, the sky had been gloomy and gloomy, and the cold winter rain had been sparse and continuous.

Sauron often wandered the Forbidden Forest, trying to find Sirius' hiding place, but there were no clues, and it seemed that he had not been seen in the Forbidden Forest since that day. The creatures of the Forbidden Forest have been more or less restless lately, especially the Unicorn and Thestrals, who can sense his breath even though they can't see Sauron.

The Forbidden Forest is a vast forest, a small part of the Hogwarts campus, and the deep forest stretches north into the mountains beyond. In the deep valley, a distant river, after absorbing the snow from the peaks along the way, gradually grows and becomes colder, and finally merges into the deep and dark huge lake.

On a winter morning, the lake is covered with a thick fog, which envelops the entire lake in a mystery. Sauron swept across the lake like the wind, blending into the mist, silently drifting towards the castle. Around the castle, Dementors floated around, leaving a trail of frost in their wake. Ever since Dumbledore had shown his anger without reservation, the Dementors were frightened and stayed at their posts.

In an inconspicuous corner, Sauron emerged from nothingness and returned to the Great Hall without hurry. After breakfast, Sauron was walking towards the Slytherin common room when he met the three Harry, who had just come over. Seeing Sauron from afar, Harry's face was a little unnatural, but after a moment of hesitation, the three of them walked over anyway.

"That...... Hmm," Harry stammered, with a slight apology on his face, and Hermione looked anxious and stabbed him in the back.

"What's going on?" Sauron asked, "You don't look good, Harry. ”

"Actually, well......" Harry stammered, not looking at Sauron's eyes.

Ron couldn't take it anymore, "The pendant you gave Harry is missing, we've been looking for it for days, but we haven't found it. ”

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." Harry whispered, "I don't know when, but I suddenly noticed that it was gone, along with the chain. Soren, I'm really sorry......"

"Hmm." Sauron shrugged his shoulders and looked calm, "Don't care, if you lose it, you can lose it, it's okay." ”

"But that's your gift to me......" Harry's voice was quieter, "the first gift......

"Okay, I said I didn't care." Sauron patted Harry on the shoulder, "It's just a pendant, don't take it personally." ”

A few people stood there and chatted for a while, and with Sauron's comfort, Harry was in a much better mood. Saying goodbye to Sauron, the hungry trio walked straight to the Gryffindor table, not seeing the subtle cold smile on Sauron's lips standing there.

The first semester of the third year was coming to an end, and two weeks before the end of the semester, the sky suddenly cleared and showed a dazzling opareal color, and the muddy field was covered with a shiny layer of frost one morning. Inside the castle, there is a Christmas atmosphere everywhere.

Phobertor returned, and at the same time brought a letter from Fleur, who was far away in France, and the thick emotion revealed between the lines warmed Sauron's heart, which was immersed in coldness. Slightly surprised by Sauron, Fleur asks Sauron if he can go to France for Christmas during the holidays.

This made Sauron hesitate for a long time, in fact, he was very willing to spend Christmas with Fleur, but thinking of all the things on the Hogwarts side, he finally sighed helplessly, after all, now is not the time for him to stop and enjoy happiness, he still has a lot to do.

Sauron sends a letter back to Fleur, confiding his thoughts and euphemistically expressing that he may not be able to spend Christmas with her. Sauron knew that she could understand herself, and he closed his eyes, and the girl's beautiful face, which glowed with a faint loss, seemed to be right in front of him.

"I will put an end to this," Sauron whispered as if to swear, "then I will be by your side and guard our happiness forever and ......"

Section II

In the last week of the semester, you can go to Hogsmeade again; Harry and Sauron were the only two third-year students to stay at the school, and Sauron didn't care about this, while Harry was indignant.

On the Saturday morning when they went to Hogsmeade, Harry said goodbye to Ron and Hermione in cloaks and scarves, and then went to the library, where they went to find Sauron and Isabella.

There weren't many people in the library, and Harry could easily find Sauron and the two sitting together. There were snowflakes outside the window and the castle was very quiet. While being with Sauron made Harry feel less lonely, after the three of them had been sitting in the library for an hour, Harry couldn't stand it anymore - not everyone was as used to being quiet as Sauron and Isabella, especially when they thought everyone else was having fun in Hogsmeade. So Harry said goodbye to Sauron and went back to Gryffindor Tower, at least there were still a lot of people in the common room, and it should be more lively.

After Harry left, Sauron and Isabella were still quietly reading the book. After a moment, Sauron looked up, "Isabella." ”

"Well, is there something wrong, Your Highness?" Isabella looked at Sauron.

Sauron stared into her eyes, stared at her for a moment, and asked in a low voice, "Are you still using that method?" ”

Isabella was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and nodded slightly. Sauron sighed and looked at the girl with some pity, "You don't have to work so hard, that method doesn't work for you." ”

Isabella didn't speak, she bit her lip and looked at Sauron a little stubbornly, and for a moment, silence enveloped the two of them. After a long time, Sauron stood up, closed the book, and said in a deep voice, "Let's go to the Room of Requirement, Isabella." ”

Isabella didn't speak, put away her book, and left with Sauron.

Meanwhile, Harry and Ron Hermione were staying at the Three Broomsticks in Hogsmeade, where they met Professor McGonagall and the Minister of Magic, Fudge, but fortunately, they were not discovered. On Harry's way back to Gryffindor, the Weasley twins gave Harry a magical magical map, the Living Point Map, a large, square, very old piece of parchment with nothing written on it, but when activated with a wand, the map automatically appeared, detailing the details of Hogwarts Castle and the various grounds, including several secret passages to and from Hogwarts. What's more, everyone who appears within Hogwarts has his name marked next to the ink dot that indicates his location, so he can see it at a glance.

With the help of this map, Harry sneaked through a secret passage to the village of Hogsmeade, where he was hiding in the shadow of the Christmas tree, eavesdropping on Professor McGonagall's conversation.

"What wind has brought you here, Minister?" This is the voice of Ms. Rosmerta, who is the owner of the bar and looks charming.

Harry saw Fudge's stout lower body writhing in his chair, as if to see if anyone was eavesdropping. Then he said quietly, "What else could be but Sirius Black, my dear?" I'm sure you've heard what happened at school on Halloween, right?"

"I've heard the rumors." Ms. Rosmerta admitted.

"Did you tell the whole tavern, Hagrid?" Professor McGonagall said angrily.

"Do you think Blake is still in this area, Minister?" Ms. Rosmerta asked in a low voice.

"Definitely." Fudge said briefly.

"Did you know that the Dementors have searched my tavern twice?" Ms. Rosmerta said, with a slight edge in her voice. "Scared my customers away...... It's not good for business, minister. ”

"Rothmerta, my dear, I'm just like you, and I don't like them either." Fudge said uneasily, "Necessary precautions...... But you're right...... I've just met a few more. They were so annoyed by Dumbledore that he wouldn't let them enter the castle grounds. ”

"I don't think they should be allowed in," Professor McGonagall said sharply, "these horrible things are floating around, how are we going to teach?"

"Listen, listen!" The diminutive Professor Flitwick screamed, his feet dangling there, a foot off the ground.

"You know, I still can't quite believe that," said Miss Rosmerta mused, "and of all the people who have fallen into the heap of bad guys, Sirius Black is the last person I expected to do...... I mean, I remember when he was a kid at Hogwarts, if you told me at that time about what was going to happen to him, then I would say you drank too much. ”

"You don't know more than half of the truth, Rosmerta." Fudge said bluntly, "Very few people know the worst thing he's ever done." ”

"The worst?" "Do you mean it's worse than killing so many poor people?" said Ms. Rosmerta, her voice full of curiosity.

"Of course." Fudge said. "I can't believe it. What could be worse than that?"

"You said you remember him at Hogwarts, Rosmerta," Professor McGonagall murmured, "do you remember who his best friend was?"

"Of course I remember," said Ms. Rosmerta, with a shallow smile, "the two are inseparable, aren't they?" I've seen them here - oh, they always make me laugh. A good pair, Sirius Black and James Potter!" Harry dropped the large cup in his hand with a thud. Ron kicked him a little.

"Not bad at all," Professor McGonagall said, "Black and Potter." The head of their clique. Both of them are very smart, of course - to be honest, very smart - but I don't think we've ever met such a pair of people who can get into trouble—"

"I don't know," Hagrid said with a grin, "if Fred and Jorca Weasley can compete with them." ”

"You'd think Blake and Potter were brothers!" Professor Flitwick interjected in agreement, "Inseparable!"

"Of course they're inseparable," Fudge said, "and Potter trusts Blake more than all his friends." It's still like that when they graduate and leave school. When Jaime and Lily got married, Blake was the best man. Then they called Black the godfather of Sauron and Harry. Of course Harry didn't know. You can imagine what Cheng Cheng would have tormented him to know this. Sauron sighed, "As for Sauron...... Alas, the deplorable child......"

"Is it because Blake later formed a gang with the mystery man?" Rosmerta asked in a low voice.

"It's worse than that, my dear......" Fudge said in a deep voice, lowering his voice, "Many people don't know that the Potters understand that the mystery is chasing them. Naturally, Dumbledore was a tireless opponent of the Mysteries, and he had many capable spies. One of the spies told Dumbledore about it, and Dumbledore immediately told Jaime and Lily. He advised them to hide. Dumbledore told them that their best chance was the curse of Courageous Loyalty. ”

"How does that play work?" Ms. Rosmerta asked, gasping for breath of interest. Professor Flitwick cleared his throat.

"Very complex spells," he squeaked and shrieked, "involving the use of magic to hide a secret in the soul of a living person. The secret is hidden in the heart of the chosen one, or the person who keeps it secret, and it is impossible to discover it from now on - unless, of course, the person who keeps it knowingly. As long as the secret refuses to speak, the mystery man will search the village where the Potters have lived for many years, and I will never find them, even if he flattens his nose on the glass window outside the couple's living room!"

"So Blake is the Potters' secret keeper?"

"Naturally," said Professor McGonagall, "James Potter told Sù Dumbledore that Blake would rather die himself than tell where they were, and that Blake himself intended to hide...... That's it, Dumbledore is still worried. I remember him offering himself to be the Potters' secrecy. ”

"Can't he trust Blake?" Ms. Rosmerta gasped.

"He's sure there must be someone close to the Potters who has been telling the mystery man about their whereabouts," Professor McGonagall said gloomily, "and indeed, he's suspected for quite a long time that someone on our side has become a traitor, and has told the mystery man a great deal of information. ”

"But Jaime insisted on using Blake, didn't he?"

"Yes," Fudge said heavily, "however, it's been less than a week since the Spell of Brave Faithfulness—"

"Did Blake betray them?" Rosmerta asked.

He did betray them. Blake is tired of duplicitous characters. Preparing to publicly declare his support for the Mystery Man, it seems that he intends to do so at the very moment of Potter's death. But, as we all know. The mystery man lost his hand with the little Porter brothers. He lost his mana and was so weakened that he had to flee. This puts Blake in a dilemma. No sooner had Blake revealed his true face as a traitor than his master fell. He had no choice but to run for his life—"

"Dirty, smelly traitor!" Hagrid said, so loud that the bar fell silent.

"Shh Professor McGonagall said.

"I've met him!" Hagrid shouted angrily, "I must be the last person to see him before he kills many!" ”

Hagrid paused, his voice muffled and filled with sadness, "After those people were killed, I was the first to arrive at Jaime and Lily's house. It was in ruins, full of ...... The black flames, both Jaime and Lily were killed, and the two brothers were left, and little Harry was crying, poor little one, and Sauron ......" Hagrid took a deep breath and closed his eyes, as if remembering something very painful, "Sauron just stood there, yes, you heard it right, he stood there, in front of Harry...... He was laughing, and the laughter sent chills through my body, like a wounded beast wailing in despair, and then he turned his head to look at me...... Hagrid shuddered, "He stared at me coldly, blood pouring out of his eyes like tears, and then those eyes became ...... Cold, like a snake, no one could imagine how a baby's eyes could have become like that, as if all his emotions had flowed away with the bloody tears. ”

"Brother Potter, I've seen them since they were born, two sweet little ones...... Professor McGonagall sighed, "but now, alas...... Harry was fine, but Sauron ...... Who would have thought that he would become like this, poor boy, I am afraid that there is only hatred left in his heart......"

"It's all Blake's fault!" Hagrid said angrily, "It's all his sins, damn traitor." Then he showed up, riding on the flying bike he usually rides. I couldn't figure out what he was doing there. I didn't know he was James and Lily's secret man. At the time, I thought he had heard about the mysterious man's attack and was there to see what he could do. He was pale at the time. Trembling all over. Do you know what I did? I comforted that murderous traitor!" Hagrid roared.

"Hagrid, don't!" Professor McGonagall said, "Keep your voice down!"

…………

Professor McGonagall talked for a long time, and after they left, Harry was still crouching there, motionless.

"Harry—" Ron and Hermione asked worriedly, as they looked at Harry.

Harry slowly stood up, his face expressionless, not knowing what he was thinking, and after a long moment, he took a deep breath and narrowed his eyes, the inseparable hatred flickering in his cold eyes, like Sauron......
