[HP]Hogwarts famous beauties

Winter thoughtfully prepared a birthday gift for Remus this year and asked Hedwig, who had been unemployed for a long time, to help deliver it. She also refused the invitation to meet Cedric in Hogsmeade. For this reason, Winter I had to promise him that I would go out to meet him in the next week.

When they left the castle at noon the next day, the weather was the warmest in the year. When they arrived at Hogsmeade, all four of them took off their cloaks. They walked into the Fuga Wizard Clothing Store to buy gifts for Dobby. . They picked out all the most outrageous socks they could find. At half past one, they walked along the road towards the outside of the village.

Winter and the others had never come in this direction before. They walked towards the base of the mountain, where the village of Hogsmeade lay in the shadow. Then they turned a corner and saw a fence at the end of the path.

Waiting for them there was a big black dog with its front paws on the highest fence and a few newspapers in its mouth. This dog looked very familiar...

"Hello, Sirius," Harry said as they walked over.

The black dog wagged its tail and started trotting in a bushy field. The four people quickly climbed over the fence and followed. Sirius led them to the foot of the mountain. The ground here was covered with large and small stones. He did have four paws and walked easily, but Winter and the others soon became tired and out of breath.

They followed Sirius and started climbing up the mountain. They followed Sirius's wagging tail and climbed on the path for nearly half an hour. Finally, Sirius disappeared in a flash. When they came to the place where he had disappeared, they saw a narrow cleft in the rock. They squeezed in and found themselves in a cave. Buckbeak was chained at the end of the cave. All four of them bowed deeply to it, and Buckbeak regarded them haughtily for a moment, then bent his forelegs.

At this moment, the black dog transformed into Sirius.

Sirius was wearing an old looking robe that looked like he had found it at the Winters' house, and he looked very thin.

"Chicken!" he said hoarsely as soon as he dropped the worn-out Daily Prophet on the cave floor. Harry opened his schoolbag and handed over the package of chicken legs and bread.

"Thank you," Sirius said, and he opened the package eagerly, grabbed a chicken leg, and tore off a large piece of chicken with his teeth. "I basically live on eating rats, and I can't steal much from Hogsmeade. Eat something, otherwise you will attract other people's attention." He looked up at Winter and smiled, but Winter couldn't smile at all.

"You...don't you live in my house? Why are you so hungry?" Winter's eyes were filled with distress.

"I have to get here a few days in advance. I can't use Floo powder. It's okay." Sirius grinned at Winter in amusement.

"What are you doing here, Sirius?" Harry asked.

"Fulfill my obligations as godfather," Sirius said, chewing on the chicken bones, "Don't worry about this, I pretended to be a cute dog that got lost from someone else's home." Winter was so distressed that she almost wanted to rush over. Hold him.

He was still smiling like that, but seeing the anxious look on Harry's face, he said seriously: "I have to be there in person. With your last letter, we can say that things are getting more and more suspicious. Every time people throw I stole newspapers back when I dropped them. Judging from the current situation, I am not the only one who is worried."

He nodded towards the yellowed copies of the Daily Prophet on the floor, and Ron picked them up and opened them.

There were two newspapers, one of which printed the headline: Barty Crouch is strangely ill; the other printed: The whereabouts of the Ministry of Magic witches are still unknown.

"They sounded like he was going to die." Harry said slowly. "If he had the strength to get here, he couldn't be that sick..."

"My brother is Crouch's personal assistant," Ron told Sirius. "He said Crouch was overworked and sick from overwork."

"The last time I got closer and looked at him, I found that he did look sick," Harry said slowly, "It was the night my name came out of the Goblet of Fire..."

Winter has been silent on the side. She has been in a bad mood recently. She knows too much, but she can't say anything.

"This is the retribution he got for firing Winky, isn't it?" Hermione said, her tone a bit harsh. "I dare say he regrets it now. I dare say he feels that life is not as good as before without Winky around to take care of him."

"Hermione is obsessed with house elves," Ron whispered to Sirius, rolling his eyes at Hermione.

But Sirius looked interested. "Crouch fired his house elf?"

"Yes, at the Quidditch World Cup." Harry said, and then he told in detail how the Dark Mark appeared, how Winky was found holding Harry's wand in his hand, and how Crow How Mr. Qi lost his temper.

When Harry finished speaking, Sirius stood up again and began to pace back and forth in the cave.

"Let me clear this up. You saw the elf in the top box first. She was taking Crouch's seat, right?"

"That's right." Harry, Ron and Hermione said in unison. Winter chose to run aside and touch Buckbeak, although she was a little afraid of this big thing.

"But Crouch didn't come to watch the game?"

"No," said Harry, "I remember him saying he was too busy.

Sirius paced silently back and forth in the cave. Then he said: "Harry, after you left the top box, did you feel in your pocket to see if your wand was still there?"

"Hmm..." Harry tried to remember. "No, I don't need to use my wand before entering the woods. Once I entered the woods, I reached into my pocket and the only thing in it was my panoramic telescope." He looked at Sirius, "You mean, turn into black?" Did the man with the Mark steal my wand from the top box?"

"Winky didn't steal that wand!" Hermione said firmly.

"There are other people in the box besides the elf," said Sirius. He frowned and started pacing again, "Who else is sitting behind you?"

"There are a lot of people," said Harry. "The Bulgarian ministers... Cornelius Fudge... and the Malfoys... Ludo Bagman..."

"I don't know much about Bagman, I only know that he used to be a batsman for the Wimbourne Hornets." Sirius was still pacing and said, "How is he?"

"It's nice," Harry said. "He's offered to help me in the Triwizard Tournament several times."

"Oh, really?" Sirius said, frowning more tightly, "It's strange, why would he do this?"

"He said he had a crush on me," Harry said.

"We saw him in the woods just before the Dark Mark appeared," Hermione said to Sirius. "Remember?" she asked Harry and Ron.

"Yeah, but he didn't stay in the woods, right?" Ron said. "As soon as we told him what happened, he rushed to camp."

Hermione immediately asked, "How do you know where he Disapparated and moved to?"

"Stop talking nonsense," Ron said in disbelief, "Do you think it was Ludo Bagman who conjured the Dark Mark?"

"He's more likely than Winky," Hermione said stubbornly.

Winter tried to reduce her presence as much as possible. She didn't want to be in so much pain.

Ron looked at Sirius meaningfully and said, "I told you, she's obsessed with domesticity..." But Sirius raised a hand and stopped Ron.

"What did Crouch do when the Dark Mark was conjured and the elf was found holding Harry's wand?"

"He got into the bushes and looked," Harry said, "but there was no one there."

Sirius muttered softly as he paced, "Surely he wanted to blame it on someone other than his own elf and then he fired her?"

"Yes," Hermione said in a very angry tone, "he fired her because she didn't stay in the tent and let others trample on her..."

"Hermione, can you stop grabbing the elf!" said Ron.

Sirius shook his head and said: "She understands Crouch's nature better than you do, Ron. If you want to understand a person's character, you must pay attention to how he treats his subordinates, not just how he treats his subordinates. Treat people of equal status to him." He stroked his bearded cheek with his hand, appearing to be thinking hard about something.

"Barty Crouch didn't show up so many times... it was out of character for Crouch. If he had ever taken a day off because he was sick before, I would have eaten Buckbeak alive."

"What, you know Crouch?" Harry said.

"Oh, of course I know Crouch," he said softly, "he was the one who ordered me to be sent to Azkaban, even without trial."

"What?" Ron and Hermione said at the same time.

"You're kidding!" said Harry.

"No." Sirius said, "Crouch was once the Director of the Legal Enforcement Department of the Ministry of Magic. Don't you know?" Harry, Ron and Hermione shook their heads. Winter was still touching Buckbeak. .

"Some people predict that he may be elected as the next Minister of Magic," Sirius said. "He has strong magic skills and a strong desire for power. Oh, he will never be a supporter of Voldemort." He saw the expression on Harry's face. , said: "No, Barty Crouch has always publicly stated that he is against black magic. But many people who are against black magic..."

"What's going on?" Ron asked eagerly, and Sirius then told them about little Barty.

"Ah! I remembered, Twinkle is very familiar with Winter's aunt, isn't she? She also said that Winter's aunt is her Master Barty's girlfriend!" Ron pointed at Winter and said.

It’s really hard not to lift the pot, Winter thought to himself, there is no way to escape this time.

"Oh? Why do you say that?" Sirius glanced at Ron with interest. Before Winter could stop Ron, Ron had already told Sirius everything about seeing Winter in the kitchen that day. Finally, Added, "Isn't she your fiancée?"

Sirius was silent for a moment, glanced at Winter, and then said, "He was indeed always around her back then, but you are right, Winter is indeed my fiancée, right, little Winter? Come here quickly. Talk to us.”

"Oh..." Winter walked over cautiously and was hugged by Sirius. He bared his teeth and said, "Your aunt was really the heartthrob of the school back then. No one disliked her, right?"

"Hmm...haha..." Winter's face was full of embarrassment, "Let's talk about Mr. Crouch..." Winter broke away from Sirius's arms.
