Professor McGonagall blew her nose and said excitedly, "Stupid boy, stupid boy, he's always bad at duels, he should let the Ministry of Magic do it......"

"I'm telling you, if I catch Black before Peter Pettigrew, I don't need any wand, I'll break it, break his limbs one by one." Hagrid roared.

"You don't even know what you're talking about, Hagrid." Fudge said sharply, "Only a trained striker from the Magical Law Enforcement Team might be able to defeat Blake before he reaches the end of his life." I was the undersecretary of the Department of Magical Calamity at the time, and I was one of the first to arrive at the scene after Black killed so many people. I, I'll never forget that scene. Sometimes I dream about it. There was a big crater in the middle of the street, so deep that it broke the sewer pipe underneath. There were corpses everywhere. The Muggles screamed. And Blake stood there laughing maniacally, and the remains of Peter Pettigrew were right in front of him, a pile of blood-stained robes and no more than a few pieces ......".

Fudge stopped suddenly. The sound of five people blowing their noses was heard.

"Well, you know the story, Rosmerta," Fudge said hoarsely, "Blake was taken away by twenty patrolmen of the Magical Law Enforcement Team, and Peter Pettigrew was given the Order of Sir Merlin, First Degree. I guess it was some comfort to his poor mother. Since then, Blake has been locked up in Azkaban. ”

Ms. Rosmerta sighed.

"He's crazy, is it true, Minister?"

"I hope he's insane," Fudge said slowly, "and I believe that the failure of his master has left him insane for some time." Killing Peter Pettigrew and so many Muggles was the work of a desperate, desperate man, cruel and purposeless. But the last time I visited Azkaban, I met Black. You know, most of the prisoners there are sitting there, muttering to themselves in the dark, they're unconscious, but, to my shock, Blake seems to be normal. He was very organized in what he said to me. I felt troubled and uneasy. You'll think he's just bored, and ask me if I've read the paper, and he'll be so calm that he wants to do a crossword puzzle on the paper. I was shocked that the Dementors didn't have any effect on him, and that he was still the culprit there, and there were a lot of people guarding him, you know. The jailer was at his door, day and night. ”

"But what do you want him to do when he escapes?" Ms. Rosmerta asked.

"Oh my God. Minister. He's not going to go to the mystery man again, is he? ”

"I dare say it's his, oh, the final plan," Fudge said mumbly, "but long before that we wanted to catch Blake." I must say that it is a situation if the mystery man is alone and has no friends, but if he were to return his most loyal servant, I shudder at the thought that he will soon make a comeback......"

The sound of glass and wood colliding is very small. Someone put the cup on the table.

"You know, Connelly, if you're going to have dinner with the Headmaster, we might as well go back to the castle now." Professor McGonagall said.

The professors stood up, put on their cloaks, the door of the three brooms opened again, a shower of snow rolled in, and the teachers were gone.

"Harry?" Charon pulled the stunned Harry up, "Are you alright?" ”

Ron and Hermione looked at him with faces and couldn't say a word.

Harry was almost stunned when he heard this, and Charon had to escort him back through the secret passage.

Charon pulled out a map of the living points from Harry's body and tapped his wand at the tattered parchment, "I solemnly swear that I have done nothing good. ”

Thin stripes of parchment immediately appeared, and finally a novel map was formed. All the details of Hogwarts Castle and the various grounds are drawn on it, as well as the moving dots of characters, each with the name of a person on it.

Charon couldn't help but be amazed, it was quite an amazing thing. He couldn't even figure out how this map knew the name of the character corresponding to each dot, was it to obtain the character's breath, or was it based on each person's magic?

Charon sneaked behind Duke Honey's counter with Harry, crept down the basement, and found the hidden raised floor door. Inside the door is a dilapidated stone staircase, all the way down. Charon pulled Harry down the stairs by the light of the spell. After about ten minutes, at the end of the stone steps was a long, winding passage. The passage is narrow and low, and it is also potholed, which is quite difficult to walk. It took a long time, about an hour, before it became an upward path. Further on, you will end up in front of the Stone Witch, which is the entrance to Hogwarts.

Harry was silent all the way, and Charon could only babble comfortingly: "Harry, you don't have to be too upset. You also know a little bit about the murder of your parents. Although I didn't know that Sirius Black was such a shameless person, but after so many years, you shouldn't be too sad. ”

"There are betrayals and betrayals inherent in life, especially in that period. Sirius Black could have been your parents' best friend, at least then, their friendship was genuine. It's just that then he fell, and your parents didn't notice it. ——”

"Will you do the same?" Harry burst into a sentence that startled Charon.

"Of course not," said Charon, a little angrily, "you can't distrust friendship because of the betrayal your parents have suffered. Hermione, Ron, and I weren't like that, and certainly not you. ”

"But then again." Charon's voice lowered again, "People change. We have an old saying in China: you can't be suspicious of people, and you can't be unguarded against people. Suspicion and vigilance are two concepts, you can't hurt others, but you can't help yourself, and you must learn to grasp the proportions in this. ”

"Are my parents stupid?" Harry's voice was a little hollow.

"They're just too simple to know how to watch out for people." "But it's been so many years, so don't take it personally." I'll help you catch Sirius Black, trust me! ”

Harry seemed to be getting better.

Eventually, Charon reached the Stone One-Eyed Witch and tapped her wand on the witch to recite the incantation: "Left and right separate". The statue's hunchback immediately opened, large enough for a slightly thinner person to enter. The two of them came out, and the stone statue was restored to its original state. They had quietly returned to the castle at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Charon and Hermione were leaving school for the following Christmas break, but Harry's state was a little reassuring to him. Ron promised him that he would take care of Harry, and Charon told them to stay in the castle and not run around, for which Charon confiscated Harry's map of the living spots, knowing that he would be tempted to run around in Harry's hands. He felt a feeling of hatred running through Harry's body, and this hatred was eating away at his emotions like poison. Charon has nothing to do about it. This kind of thing can only catch Sirius Black and make him deserve it, and Harry will feel better.

When he returned from vacation, Ron reported to Charon about this time. Fortunately, Harry finally listened to Charon's instructions and didn't run around. But something not so good happened, they went to Hagrid and found him weeping.

Hagrid received an official letter from the Ministry of Magic's Committee on the Disposal of Dangerous Organisms, which reads as follows:

"Dear Mr. Hagrid, We have further investigated the incident in your class in which the Hippogriff attacked the students, and we have accepted Professor Dumbledore's assurances that you are not responsible for this regrettable incident.

However. We have to show our concern about this problematic Hippogriff. We have decided to support Mr. Lucius Malfoy's formal complaint, so the matter will be referred to the Committee for the Disposal of Hazardous Organisms. A hearing will be held at the Commission's London office on April 20, and we will ask you and your Hippogriff to attend on that day. During this time, Hippogriffs are to be tethered and isolated. Your colleague, there's a long list of school boards at the bottom. ”

The Hippogriff named Buckbeak is about to be interrogated, and if he loses the case, he may be put to death!

"We have to prepare a strong defense." Hermione mused at this, "Hagrid has to prove that Buckbeak doesn't hurt. I'm sure I've read a case of a Hippogriff fishing bait in which the Hippogriff was fine. I found it, so I looked into what was going on. ”

This distracted Harry, who and Ron spent a long time during the holidays going to the library to look through the dusty files, all of which were famous cases of animal grabbing. Now that Hermione is back, she has added to the backbone of the two of them, and she will definitely help Buckbeak prepare a defense. The three of them sat in front of the roaring fire, slowly flipping through the cases, and occasionally conversing when they saw the situation.

"There's something here, this is a case from 1772, but this Hippogriff is convicted, well, look at what people have done to it, disgusting.".

"This might help, look, in 1296 a human-headed dragon body lion-tailed monster bit someone, and people released this monster, oh no, it's just because everyone was scared and didn't dare to approach it."

In addition to this, there was good news, Harry received a gift from a stranger for Christmas, a beautiful, sparkling broomstick, and a firebolt, which was the latest, completely smooth and streamlined, and extremely expensive.
