Hogwarts Reading Days

With a "bang", the door was pushed open roughly, and there was a rush of footsteps from outside the corridor, and a figure broke into the hall like the wind, panting, looking at the people who were reading the newspapers and said: "Today's "" Did you read the Daily Prophet? Peter died, and that guy actually died."

"Don't worry, it's not like your character." Blake looked up at his old friend, poured him a glass of butterbeer, and motioned him to drink something before saying, "I just saw it in the newspaper, they said that Peter Died of illness in Azkaban Prison."

"This matter is very suspicious." Lupine took a deep breath and said, "It's impossible for him to die of illness in Azkaban prison so soon, you know what I mean."

"You suspect that Peter escaped in some way." Black frowned, as if considering the possibility of this matter.Having been imprisoned in Azkaban for 12 years, he knows the prison situation well and has more say than most.

The old friend's words were biased. As far as Sirius knew, many wizards went mad and died within a few weeks after being imprisoned in Azkaban prison, but Peter... Remus was right in thinking that Peter had A criminal record of playing dead, and twice.

Why is it not difficult to have a third time?

"Not only that." Lupine continued after drinking the butter beer in one gulp, "I heard that Mrs. Peter visited Peter in prison before he died. Later, Mrs. Peter went crazy within a few days after returning , set a fire, and burned himself and the whole family."

"It wasn't reported in the newspapers, and how did she get into Azkaban prison?" Black frowned deeply, and he felt more and more that Remus' guess was right, and there was something wrong with this matter.

Their old buddy might actually be out of jail.

The two carefully read the "Daily Prophet" the day before yesterday, and finally found a report about Mrs. Peter's self-immolation in a small corner.

The article is not long, probably means:

Mrs. Peter couldn't accept her son's transformation from a hero to a murderer, and she went insane.

Either way, both things are suspicious.

Especially when Peter died on the third day of his mother's visit to him, and his mother died on the second day of her visit to prison.

"There is a way to determine whether Peter is dead." Sirius said suddenly.

"How?" Lupine asked.

"Look for someone to divination." Sirius showed a strange smile.

"You mean Anderson?" Lupine immediately realized what his old friend meant.

"Yes, I heard that Mr. Anderson's prophecy ability is very strong, and he can even easily predict what will happen in the future." Sirius directly turned Phineas into someone, "I plan to invite him to see Quebec together." It’s much better to ask him for help in the Diqi World Cup than we are racking our brains here.”

Lupine frowned and asked, "Would he be willing to help?"

"Yes." Sirius said meaningfully. "That Mr. Anderson charges, but I think it's worth spending a little money to find out."

Sirius didn't care much about the property of the Black family, at least for him, Garen didn't understand the importance of Peter's life and death.

If Peter did escape, this time Sirius would not let him go no matter what.

Yes, Peter is dead!

There was a cruel smile on the corner of Blake's mouth, so let's die completely and stop popping up.

Although Albert's approach at the time was the best choice and helped him restore his reputation, it was a pity for Black that he failed to kill Peter himself to avenge James and Lily.

Now, that opportunity may come.

"Don't talk about that, Remus, if you have time, help me clean up the house together." Sirius begged, "I want to bring Harry in to live with me later, but I'm alone, and it's over." It can't be finished in summer."

"Well, it just so happens that I have nothing to do recently." Lupine nodded in agreement. He doubted that even if Sirius was given a year to clean it up.

"Great, then you can go to the Quidditch World Cup with us!" Sirius suggested.

"I'm afraid not." Lupine shook his head and refused.

"Why?" Sirius asked puzzled,

"Under normal circumstances, the final of the World Cup will probably be around NO.20 in August. You know, it will be close to the full moon at that time." Lupine explained, "I can't take risks."

Sirius was silent, he almost forgot about it.

"Okay, where are you going to start cleaning?" Lupine asked, patting Black on the shoulder. "If you want to clean this place thoroughly, don't just stand there and watch."

The two were busy all afternoon, but still failed to clean Harry's room. The two found a nest of foxes in the bedroom. In order to eliminate these annoying pests, Sirius used a large amount of foxes killer. Make a mess of the whole room.

"I feel like I'm turning into a house-elf. Maybe I should ask Dumbledore to borrow a few house-elves to help with the cleaning, so we can get this done quickly."

Sirius sat wearily in a chair, eating simple food made by Lupine, and cleaning the house was obviously not his strong suit.

He ended up not doing that.

In fact, Sirius hoped that his old friend could move to live with him at No. 12, Grimmauld Place, so that the two could take care of each other, but Remus rejected his offer.

"Jaime's son is uncannily like him." Sirius whispered, as if lost in memory, "really like him."

"Harry is quieter, unlike James who always likes to be handsome in front of girls, and he doesn't talk too much." Lupine missed his old friend a little bit.

"But Harry likes to get into trouble, too." Sirius smiled broadly.

"Yes," said Lupine, "Harry is brave, but also reckless."

"I have hardly ever met a Gryffindor student who is not reckless." Black could hardly hide the smile on his lips, "I remember you said that Harry's Patronus was also a stag."

"Yes, the stag," Lupine nodded. "At the Quidditch match last term."

"However, Harry doesn't seem to be having a good time these years. I plan to take some time to visit his Muggle relatives." A trace of displeasure flashed across Sirius' brows, "If it wasn't for Dumbledore..."

"Dumbledore has his own agenda," interrupted Lupine, "I'll go with you when the time comes."

"Stop talking about that, let's talk about your business!" Sirius changed the subject.

"Me? It's still the same. At first I wanted to work for the Ministry of Magic, but I was rejected. You should be able to guess the reason. Finally, relying on my father's relationship, I got a part-time job in the Ministry of Magic and worked for half a year. Month." There was a helpless wry smile on the corner of Lupine's mouth, thanks to my father's house, I would not have no place to live.Afterwards, I've been working part-time, you know, and I haven't been working for too long, if anyone finds out that I'm..."

Luping paused, chuckled, and continued: "Then, I thought that if I could open a store by myself, I wouldn't have to worry about being discovered, but it didn't work..."

The reason is naturally that they did not earn enough money to open a store.

"And then?" Sirius found out that his old friend hadn't been doing well these years.

"Later, I had fewer and fewer opportunities to work in the wizarding world, so I could only do odd jobs in the alley. When I was not working, I went to shop in the Muggle world as a salesperson, and sometimes as a cleaner, anyway. It’s odd jobs and a life that’s barely there.”

"We can open a store together," Sirius suddenly suggested, "Anyway, I don't have anything to do, so I have to find a decent job for myself."

Lupine was silent, honestly moved.

Of course he knew that Sirius proposed to open the shop for him, at least he could have a stable job without having to work around.

"We'll talk about it later." Remus was a little moved, but didn't agree right away, because he didn't know what store to open.

In recent days, the Dursley family has been under the shadow of fear.

It all started a few mornings after the Dursleys went to King's Cross to pick up Harry Potter.

Vernon saw that his nephew suddenly took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to him, saying that his godfather asked him to deliver it. The contents of the letter were probably:

A man named Sirius Black claimed to be Harry's godfather, and said he would come to visit them in two days and talk about Harry.

In Vernon's impression, Potter didn't have much of a godfather, but his little hope was ruthlessly shattered by Harry,

"He is the best friend of my mom and dad. He is a convicted murderer, but he escaped from the magic prison a while ago and is willing to keep in touch with me through the owl to learn about my situation."

To this day, Vernon still remembers the look on Harry's face when he said those words.

What made him even more horrified was that such a murderer was going to visit them, which immediately made the Dursleys panic.

Vernon even wanted to call the police at one point, but he had no choice but to meet the murderer named Blake.

Because even the police couldn't stop the murderer named Blake from appearing in front of them.

"When will he arrive?"

Vernon asked with trembling lips, his face was very pale, and it could be seen that the past few days have not been good.

"It should be soon, the agreed time is eleven o'clock."

Harry looked up at the clock on the wall, trying to hold back a smile so that no expression appeared on his face.He didn't tell the Dursleys that Sirius was innocent and had his reputation restored.

Dudley was huddled in the corner of the sofa in utter horror, and Aunt Petunia was equally terrified.

In fact, Vernon wanted his wife and children to leave and face the notorious murderer Blake by himself, but Aunt Petunia didn't agree, and even Dudley didn't leave, even though they were all terrified of the upcoming visit their murderer.

What the Dursleys didn't know was that the visiting murderer, Sirius Black, was getting dressed for the meeting, fiddled with his suit in the full-length mirror to make himself look more formal.

The more than ten years of living in Azkaban took away a lot of things from Black. In the mirror, he was no longer as handsome as before, nor did he have the look of his youth.

However, since his charges were cleared and his reputation was restored, Black has rekindled hope, and his body, which was emaciated due to ten years of prison life in Azkaban, has also regained its vitality.

"That's all right!" Black looked at himself in the mirror, turned his head and asked Lupine who was also wearing an old suit next to him.

To be honest, Sirius didn't like this kind of clothes, but Remus thought it was necessary, and it was a very formal meeting.

To be honest, Lupine didn't really want to go. After all, it was Sirius' family business and he was just an outsider, but he was worried that his old friend would mess things up. He had dealt with Muggles a lot, Clearly know better how to get along with them.

After all, this meeting was for Harry, so they had to think more about it.

"4 Privet Drive, Little Whinging, Surrey!"

Lupine took out the note Harry wrote to them from his suit pocket, read the address on it, and took out his pocket watch to check the time: "It's almost time to read, we should set off."

Instead of Apparating directly to 4 Privet Drive, they appear near Privet Drive to avoid trouble for Harry.

Using magic in the Muggle living area requires special caution. Once magic is used around an underage wizard, the Ministry of Magic will think that the underage wizard is using magic, and it will be very troublesome to explain.

"It's here." Lupine looked at the number plate of No. 4 Privet Drive, stepped forward and rang the doorbell.

After the doorbell rang, the three members of the Dursley family in the living room huddled together in horror, while Harry hurried to open the door.

After waiting for tens of seconds, the two heard hurried footsteps coming from inside the door. The door was opened, and Harry's surprised face appeared in front of them.

"Professor Lupine, why are you here?" Harry couldn't help asking.

"I'm not sure about Sirius," said Lupine, smiling.

Sirius surveyed Harry's living environment, then followed Harry into the house, and saw the Dursleys huddled together in the living room, looking terrified.

Compared to the astonishment on Sirius' face,

Seeing the legendary murderer enter the living room, the Dursleys were stunned at the moment, because Lupine and Black were dressed so normal.

"I'm Sirius Black." Sirius Black took a deep breath, and said what he had repeated countless times in his heart: "James and Lily's classmate and friend, Harry Potter's godfather, I think Harry should have mentioned me to you. Next to me is Remus Lupine, who is also a classmate and friend of James and Lily, and a professor at Hogwarts."

Sirius had selectively forgotten that Remus was a former Hogwarts professor, and Harry had noticed this, but didn't say much about it.

"I think I should have made it clear in the letter that I'm here to talk about Harry's upbringing and guardianship." Sirius knew that this family was not good to Harry, but he still suppressed his anger and irritability forcibly, letting himself Be as polite as possible.

"When we adopted him, I heard that you weirdos have nothing to do with him." Petunia said, staring at Black closely.

"For some reason, Mr. Black was regarded as the side of the mysterious... dark forces; he was imprisoned in Azkaban-prison, and the Ministry of Magic did not discover this major mistake until not long ago," Lupine explained. "This error has been corrected and Mr. Black has his honor and freedom restored."

The Dursleys all stared at Harry. Although wizards made them intimidated, they were even more angry at being played by someone.

"We need you to allow Harry to come and live for a period of time during the next summer vacation every year." Lupine frowned and said, he could feel that these Muggles were not friendly to Harry.

"Don't you want custody, I agreed, but why..." Vernon wished Harry would leave immediately, so that their family could return to normal.

"Harry's mother used an ancient magic to protect him. This magic may be related to family, family or blood." Sirius said impatiently, "This is why Dumbledore decided to send Harry to Here's why."

"In order to continue this magic, it is necessary to live here for a period of time every year before Harry Potter becomes an adult - after all, you are the last relatives in this world who have the same blood as him." Lupine added.

This was the first time Harry had heard of such a thing, and he had actually complained privately about why Dumbledore didn't allow him to live with Sirius.

Petunia said bluntly, "As long as he is quiet and doesn't do anything strange."

"I will," Harry promised, nodding.

"That's great, it looks like we've reached an agreement," said Lupine cheerfully. "Harry, we'll pick you up later."

"We don't expect you to take care of Harry like your own children. We just need to treat your relatives' children like a normal family." Sirius suddenly stared at the Dursleys and threatened, "I don't Hope to hear something bad, understand?"
