Hogwarts 1991

Chapter 343: The True Black Dog!

McGuffin looked at Sirius baring his teeth and felt like crying.

He almost wanted to close his eyeballs to deny what he saw.

"McGuffin? Are you all right?"

Harry stood up, dusted the dust, and asked the MacGuffin looking almost petrified.

"I...I'm fine, fine!"

McGuffin replied suddenly.

Seeing that he was also petrified, Harry felt a lot better, at least he felt much better than just now... after coming here after a strange sound and meeting the big dog, he was so frightened that he fell down.

At that time, he really thought he was going to die.

——Unknown, the harbinger of death came directly to look for him.

Professor Trelawney's prediction to herself some time ago...that vague, deep voice was mixed with Ron, and the exclamations of Simone and the others kept reappearing in Harry's ears.

But why is it that the MacGuffin can also see... Will he suffer misfortune too?
McGuffin, what is his omen...

Suddenly Harry's mind popped up...

Yes, that round ball of tea dregs.

This ridiculous scene immediately made Harry doubt the omen that Professor Trelawney said, and the snorting words of Professor McGonagall and Hermione also deepened his doubts at this moment.

"McGuffin, can you see the dog too? Is it... real?"

Harry's question made McGuffin wake up immediately.

——No matter what, this big dog must not be seen by others.

Sirius he can't stay here!
But now, the big dog was staring at him vigilantly, and McGuffin knew he couldn't get close to it.

only...

"Ah, McGuffin, what are you doing?" Harry exclaimed.

McGuffin grabbed Harry and pulled him closer to Black.

Sure enough, after pulling Harry up, the big dog began to calm down, and stopped growling at him.

Harry wanted to shake off McGuffin's hold on his left hand and stay away from the guy.

Even if the big dog was not a harbinger of death, a dog as big as a lion could easily tear the two little wizards to pieces.

"McGuffin, what's going on?" Harry also realized at this moment.

The behavior of this guy is very wrong.

"Shh, I'll tell you later!"

"Padfoot? Why are you here?"

McGuffin became more anxious and decided that he couldn't wait any longer, so he asked directly.

This made Harry very shocked, not knowing what happened.

Hearing this term, the big dog wanted to stand up, but unfortunately, his extremely weak body made him shake, and he fell down again.

"What do you mean? McGuffin, do you know this dog?"

"I……"

Something that nearly burst the hearts of the two happened suddenly.

A high-pitched scream came from around the corner on the other side of the corridor, followed by hurried footsteps.

Harry immediately realized that the situation was not optimistic. Once he found himself with a big black dog...

McGuffin's head is about to explode,

—If Sirius is discovered...

The two stared at each other.

In an emergency, a bad idea immediately came to McGuffin's mind, and he apologized to Harry, "I'm sorry, Harry!"

"what?"

Unprepared, McGuffin tripped Harry to the ground, and he let out a cry of pain.

Then he quickly waved his hand and floated the big dog (Sirius) into the air, signaling it to keep quiet.

Maybe he understood something, although he had a bad expression, Sirius still didn't make any movement.

The footsteps were getting louder and louder. As expected, it was Argus Filch, the caretaker of Hogwarts Castle.

Looks like he's sent all the little wizards off to Hogsmeade.

McGuffin quickly turned his back to Filch and pulled Harry up, then signaled Harry not to mention the big dog.

Although Harry didn't understand, he nodded.

Filch came over and stared at the two suspiciously.

"What are you doing?"

"Harry fell and I'm pulling him up," said McGuffin, staring down at the cat, Mrs. Norris, and praying that the two of them would never find out...

"Well, that's right." Harry also stared at Filch nervously and agreed. Although he still couldn't understand what happened just now, the most urgent thing right now was to prevent Filch from discovering that they were staying with a suspicious big black dog.

Especially since the two of them had just sparked a dementor riot.

"I'm asking what are you doing here?" Filch spit on the ground, took a step forward, and stared at the two of them condescendingly, as if he wanted to dig out some ulterior secret.

McGuffin and Harry were silent, the blood throbbing rapidly in their temples.

I was afraid that Filch would find that big black monster floating above his head.

Seeing that the two of them did not answer guiltily, Filch became even more arrogant. When he was about to teach him a lesson, Mrs. Norris yelled sharply.

The MacGuffin saw the hapless black cat throwing its head up, and it—saw the big dog.

Gan!
McGuffin cursed, immediately took out his wand, and prepared to use the [Imperius Curse] depending on the situation.

Fortunately, Sirius Black (the big dog) opened his mouth and growled silently, making a threatening expression.

His mouth was full of blood, and he was about to pounce with his claws and teeth.

All of a sudden, Mrs. Luo Lisi froze with fright. It trembled all over, shrank into a ball, and the cat hair fell all over the ground.

Didn't dare to make any sound.

Filch couldn't care less about the scream just now, and he called Mrs. Norris' name in worry and fear.

"Roris! What's wrong with you, Mrs. Norris?"

The cat trembled and said nothing.

He lifted Mrs. Norris from the ground, and then said to the two of them viciously, "No matter what you are doing here... hurry back to the common room where you should go, and stop causing trouble!"

After speaking, he hurriedly picked up his cat, ran away along the corridor towards the infirmary, and quickly disappeared.

Harry and McGuffin were left looking at the big dog overhead, not knowing what to do!
Sirius whimpered, prompting the MacGuffin to put it down quickly.

"McGuffin, what did you mean just now? What is Padfoot?" Harry saw McGuffin's performance, and realized that this black dog could not be an evil omen at all. Instead, it came to Hogwarts, and it is likely to have an inseparable relationship with McGuffin.

Thinking of this, he was no longer afraid or worried, but stared at his crazy friend suspiciously with scorching eyes.

—Albert!What is this guy doing again?

Harry stared at McGuffin.

Then someone came over again.

McGuffin and Harry turned to stare ahead.

Fortunately, it was Colin Creevey, Harry's number two fanboy, whose eyes were all on Harry.

"Harry! Harry! Hello, Harry!"

He couldn't even see the MacGuffin next to him, let alone Sirius Black floating overhead.

"Harry, I heard what happened this morning... that's amazing, Dementor! If you're not going to Hogsmeade... come and join me in the common room, will you?"

"Oh—thank you, no..." Harry was about to decline, but the McGuffin next to him nudged him lightly and agreed for him.

"Of course, Colin! Harry happened to be back in the dormitory on something!"

"Is that so, Harry?" McGuffin turned his back to Colin, carefully pointed to the big dog above, and mouthed hastily, '——The Invisibility Cloak! '

Looking at McGuffin's anxious expression, gestures, and mouth movements... Harry understood.

"Oh, ok...well, that's right, I happened to be on my way."

"So, where shall we meet, MacGuffin?"

"Right here. Come on, Harry!"

MacGuffin urged.

In this way, Harry had no other choice, he could only walk towards the Gryffindor tower with Colin, who was looking excited and kept trying to talk to him.

"Harry, Harry! What can you do?"

"Harry! I hear you've got the hang of dementors... right? That's amazing..."

As Colin and Harry asked excitedly, a helpless voice faded away.

Now there is only McGuffin left in fear.

Seeing Sirius floating in the air like a dog, McGuffin determined to learn the invisibility spell quickly.

He looked at the big dog and had a vague feeling in his heart... This was the worst omen.

——There will be more and more such shitty things happening in the future.

……

After watching the invisibility cloak cover the big dog, McGuffin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The next step is how to transport this big guy out of Hogwarts Castle.

Regarding this, he really had no idea.

I don't know what happened to Sirius, anyway, so far McGuffin has seen him not take a step or two at all.

Before that, there is another question...

"McGuffin, can you tell me what's going on now!"

Harry asked, staring at McGuffin seriously, he now has a combination of Hermione and Professor McGonagall.

"I……"

"Okay! I'll make a long story short... I'll tell you briefly, but you have to keep it a secret from Hermione and Ron... Ron must hate this big dog, and Hermione, I don't want this big dog to chase Hermione's cat like Crookshanks chased Scabbers. You just saw how it treated Filch's Mrs. Norris."

McGuffin told Harry the story he had just made up by himself, hoping to get away with it.

MD!

I hope that when the truth comes out, Harry doesn't blame him, after all, this is also for his godfather not to be scratched by Snape's cramp.

"Didn't I tell you that when I was at [The Leaky Cauldron], I also saw this big black dog?"

"Ah! So, that's what I saw!"

"Yes, Harry... let me finish, we must hurry up and get this big dog out of here."

McGuffin watched nervously at the open space on the other side, where Sirius was hidden under the cloak, but staying in the hallway all the time was not an option.

"Afterwards, I saw this big dog again at King's Cross Station. I was overjoyed to see the dog, so I shrunk it down and put it in a suitcase, preparing to keep it as a pet..."

"Happy to see you! Pets? Since when did you have Hagrid's hobby, McGuffin..." Harry couldn't help but groan, but he was used to this friend's madness, so he wasn't surprised.

"Listen, Harry, after this...you know what happened!"

"The dementor?"

"That's right! When I passed out on the train, woke up in the castle, and went back to the dormitory to check the luggage... the big dog had disappeared from the luggage. I thought it must have escaped by itself... Maybe it was wandering around the Forbidden Forest and surviving alone."

"It's just that I don't know what happened, but I met it here again today. So, it looks like it should be your pet instead, Harry!"

"You've had two or three encounters with it! If it's a Muggle TV show, then it's yours - the black dog!"

McGuffin tried to tell a bad joke, interrupting Harry's concentration, lest he find any logical loopholes in the nonsense.

"What the hell!" Harry looked disgusted.

"However, it should not be the worst omen that Professor Trelawney said!"

"Don't worry, like I said, it's just an ordinary stray dog..."

"Harry, think about it... What kind of omen is lying here and not moving, and still let us rescue it from the school?"

"You'd better help me transport it out of the school! Otherwise, if Snape...or Filch reacts, I will be expelled!"

"This is the worst, true omen!"

McGuffin said nervously.

"By the way, why do you call him Padfoot?" Harry was still a little surprised.

"Huh?... Don't you think the dog has big feet?" McGuffin mumbled and explained.

"Oh, all right! But, really, you could have told me about it..."

Harry complained that the two of them finally reached a unified intention to transport the big black dog out of the castle.

"By the way, where are we taking it?"

"You can't just throw him into the Forbidden Forest, can you? Could it be that you...?" Harry asked.

"Well, you guessed right, it's Hagrid's place. He should be able to see what happened to this big guy? And doesn't he already have a tooth? It shouldn't be a problem to raise another one!"

"And Hagrid is sad about losing Buckbeak the Hippogriff? Maybe this big dog can cheer him up!"

The most important thing is - Hagrid, a carefree fellow, probably wouldn't recognize this big black dog as belonging to Sirius!
However, the two immediately encountered a problem - who should carry this big dog that looks like it hasn't been bathed for several years and is full of rancid smell.

Under the cover of the invisibility cloak, transport it out of the castle.

Obviously, before the 'truth came out', as time passed, compared to Harry...McGuffin was more anxious.

It can only be that he took the responsibility of 'bringing the big dog into the school' what he said just now.

Hard to carry a big dog.

The two hid together under the cloak, let Harry lead the way, carefully avoiding everyone, and slowly left the castle.
