Chapter 1: Clark's New Plan
Southampton, the largest port city in the south of England.
The salty and humid sea breeze brings a cool breath and dispels the heat and irritability of the middle of summer.
On the side of the bustling passenger terminal, a black-haired teenager of thirteen or fourteen years old was lazily leaning on a beach chair, reading the newspaper in his hand, and drinking a sip of cold coconut water from time to time, looking particularly leisurely.
However, his mind did not seem to be on the newspaper in his hand, as can be seen from the fact that he raised his head from time to time and glanced over the newspaper.
And after a long whistle and the chubby seagull was startled and flew away, he finally closed the newspaper, put it on the small round table beside him, and then got up and waved in the direction of the cruise ship ferry not far away.
"Cousin Charlie, here!"
With the greeting of the black-haired boy, not far away, a young man carrying a small box also walked over quickly.
"Clark, it's been a long wait."
Yes, this dark-haired teenager is none other than Clark Prewit, who has just returned from Egypt, and he is here today to welcome Charlie Weasley, who has just returned from Romania.
"Cousin Charlie, I haven't seen you for a few years, but you haven't changed much." Clark said with a smile.
Like the other Weasley brothers, this cousin Charlie has red hair that is characteristic of the Weasleys.
Perhaps because he stayed in the Romanian dragon farm all year round and served those big guys, his wide face like a good gentleman was already weather-beaten, and his freckled face was almost tanned brown and black.
Clark even saw a large scar on his muscular arm that was shiny from the flames, and with his strong figure, he looked like an outdoor rod guy.
"Little Clark, you've changed so much, I almost didn't recognize you."
Charlie happily gave Clark a big bear hug, and if it hadn't been for Clarke's hard slapping on his arm, he was afraid that he would have broken Clarke's ribs
"Cousin, you're still so rude, how can you find a girlfriend in the future." Clarke, who was released, coughed lightly twice and made a joke.
Charlie's dark face was flushed with a little red, "What the hell are you talking about, I'm still early." ”
He snorted, but Clark laughed secretly in his heart, this cousin probably didn't know that after learning that her second son would return to England to work, Aunt Molly was already very interested in finding a blind date for Charlie.
It seems that when it comes to urging their sons to get married, parents all over the world are the same.
But this is not the time to say this, he looked Charlie up and down, patted the other party's strong arm, and said sincerely, "It's good to come back, let's go, let's go home." ”
Charlie also nodded movingly, looked at the clear faces around him, and took a deep breath of the air of his hometown, yes, only people who have been adrift all year round can experience the feeling of going home, it's so good!
The two happily boarded the train to London and prepared to return to the Burrow through the public fireplace there.
It wasn't until he sat down that Charlie noticed the contents of the newspaper in Clark's hand.
"What's New, the Vicious Black is still on the run!" 》
On the cover of the first edition, the thick blood-red headline seems to be dripping with blood, which looks very terrifying.
In the huge photograph under the title, a man with white skin and wax paper, a haggard face, and long, messy hair, looking very vicious, is glaring at Charlie viciously.
Of course, this was just an ordinary Times in the eyes of Muggles, but in Charlie's eyes, it was the Daily Prophet that he hadn't read in a long time.
"Sirius Black! Did he escape Azkaban? ”
Charlie snorted softly, and looked around cautiously for fear that any Muggle might hear him.
However, he didn't know that as one of the most important things that happened in the wizarding world during the holidays, even the Muggle news had Blake, so even if the Muggles around him heard him, they didn't feel too surprised.
"Yes, this guy doesn't know what madness he had, since he escaped from Azkaban, he disappeared without a trace." Clark lowered his voice in the same way, and handed him the first page of the Daily Prophet in his hand, "Haven't you heard of it abroad?" ”
"Of course not, the state of the Romanian wizarding community is not good now, the management is very chaotic, and we don't have the opportunity to read the British newspapers." Charlie took the newspaper and read it carefully in the bright light outside the window.
Hearing this, Clark joked, "Then it seems that we have to hurry up and start the construction of the Daily Prophet Overseas Edition." ”
But jokes are jokes, but his heart has turned several times:
Romania is all blocked from news about the British wizarding community? It seems that in that area, the British Ministry of Magic is completely out of play. I just don't know whose handiwork this is, is it the Magical Congress of the United States?
Clarke's eyes were downcast, and his index finger tapped on his leg for a while......
"Looking at this, the wizarding world should be very lively this year." By this time, Charlie had read all the content related to Blake on the front page.
After hearing his words, Clark came back to his senses from his contemplation, "Of course, the ministry has been busy lately because of Blake's affairs. ”
As he spoke, he seemed to remember something interesting, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, "Even Uncle Arthur, who just came back from Egypt, was arrested by the ministry and was so busy every day that his feet didn't touch the ground, and he didn't come back until midnight." ”
"Then my mom must have to complain about Fudge's incompetence at home." Charlie chuckled as he flipped through the newspaper, "But I'm curious, hasn't Blake been in Azkaban all the time, how could he suddenly think of escaping?" ”
He recalled:
"I remember the year he was arrested, when I was nine years old.
It was a sensational situation, the Ministry of Magic blocked Black on a street full of Muggles, Black pulled out his wand and blew up half the street, Peter Pettigrew was blown to pieces, and a dozen Muggles who happened to be there.
When my father came home, he told us about the scene, and Bill was so frightened that he couldn't sleep. ”
Clark could only shrug his shoulders, "It's really scary, but I don't know why he took it out, maybe Uncle Arthur knows a little bit of the inside story." ”
He tilted his head and looked out the window at the speeding scenery.
In fact, the reason for Blake's escape from prison, Clark knows very well.
During the incident of the Chamber of Secrets last semester, he managed to come into contact with the sword of Gryffindor, and it was through this that he was sure.
In addition to the Headmaster of Hogwarts and the heads of the four houses, the relics left behind by the four founders of Hogwarts also contain some of their control over the entire school.
Clark has not forgotten the magnificent sight he saw when he first entered the school, the majestic atmosphere that hovered over Hogwarts Castle, the entire castle for thousands of years of teaching and educating people.
That is simply the most perfect foundation for the god of knowledge.
And in order to obtain all this, in addition to becoming the real headmaster of Hogwarts legally, you also need to collect the treasures left by the Big Four.
They are:
Gryffindor's sword.
Hufflepuff's Gold Cup.
Ravenclaw's Tiara.
Slytherin's Pendant.
Of these four things, Gryffindor's sword has been kept in the Headmaster's office at Hogwarts, and the other three have been refined by Voldemort into his Horcruxes.
Among them, the Hufflepuff Gold Cup was given to his most trusted Death Eater, Bellatrix Lestrange, for safekeeping, and is now stored in the underground vault of Gringotts, which can only be retrieved by obtaining the keys to the Lestrange family.
However, this family is all veteran Death Eaters, and after the fall of Voldemort, they are all imprisoned in Azkaban, and if there is no accident, they will not be able to come out for life.
The Ravenclaw crown is best obtained, and Voldemort kept the Horcrux in the Room of Requirement when he was a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts.
Although the place is large and there are a lot of clutter, if you look carefully, you can still find it.
As for the Slytherin pendant, it was originally a treasure handed down from generation to generation by the Gaunt family, but it ended up in the hands of the famous collector Hepzba Smith.
Voldemort, who was still Tom Riddle, managed to sneak into Hepzba Smith's side by betraying his hue, and then snatched the treasure from the other party's hand and hid it in a seaside cave discovered in his childhood.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that when he stored the locket, he borrowed the Black family's house elf Kreacher.
Instead of dying in the cave, the little creature ran back to House Black, and Sirius's brother Regulus Arcturus Black learned about it.
With the help of the house-elf Kreacher, Arcturus managed to obtain the Slytherin pendant, but also died in the cave.
Before dying, he gave the item to the house-elf Kreacher for safekeeping, and told him to find an opportunity to destroy it, but Kreacher did not find a way to destroy the locket.
So this Slytherin locket has been kept in the cupboard of the Black family's old house.
Clark knew that the Black family's home was at 12 Grimmauld Place, London, but the place was protected by the Loyalty Charm.
Unless the heir of the Black family told him personally, he would not be able to find that place even if he turned Grimmauld Place upside down.
And now the Black family, only the descendant of Sirius Black is left, and now the other party is locked up in Azkaban, and if he wants to get the locket from the Black family's old mansion, he can only try to lure it out.
So the pet mouse that he got from Ron in the first grade finally had a place to use.
It wasn't a mouse, of course, it was Sirius's former best friend, Peter Pettigrew.
It's just that because of his betrayal of the Harrys, he was chased by Sirius Black and had no way out, so he could only blow up half the street, and then turned into a rat and hid in Ron's house.
Until Christmas in the first grade, Clark exchanged a little owl from Ron's hand as a gift, and has been held until now.
Clark knew all the ins and outs of the matter, and naturally knew how to lure Sirius Black out of Azkaban.
On a recent trip to Egypt with the Weasleys, he secretly took Peter Pettigrew, a rat-turned, with him, and secretly kept it in his hand when he took a photo provided for the Daily Prophet.
As for the later development of the story, it is also clear.
Fudge, who is the Minister for Magic, visits Azkaban and gives Black a copy of the Daily Prophet, where he happens to see the news that the Ron family has won the Daily Prophet award.
Of course, it is not a coincidence, as one of the shareholders of the Daily Prophet, it is still possible to let this news stay in the newspaper for two months.
When the enemy saw each other, they were very red-eyed, and after seeing the news of Peter Pettigrew in the newspaper, and knowing that the other party and Harry Potter were still together, Sirius Black completely went berserk.
Using his abilities as an illegal Animagus, Black transforms into a large dog and escapes from Azkaban, swims across the sea, and returns to England to seek revenge on his one-time enemy, Peter Pettigrew.
However, Clark will not tell Charlie about all the causes and consequences.
In fact, Clark can't wait, in the original Harry Potter storyline, when Harry was in the fifth grade, because the Order of the Phoenix used the old mansion of the Black family as a base, that place could already be easily blended in.
Not to mention that Mundungus Fledge, one of the members of the Order of the Phoenix, stole the Slytherin locket and sold it to Umbridge.
The guy was a greedy thief, and with a little coercion and lure, Clark was completely sure that he would be able to steal the locket.
But if you do that, you'll have to wait another two years, and there will be too many variables in between.
Clark's plan was to get these Founder's relics before the fourth year to prepare for next year's "Holy Grail" battle, but there wasn't that much time to wait.
Fortunately, it seems that everything is still under his control, isn't it?
Clark sat back in his train seat, ready to enjoy the rest of the journey.
As for Charlie, he found a couple of interesting little news in the Daily Prophet and was reading it with gusto.
