Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

Seeing Black's appearance, Ivan sighed weakly.

What a teammate like a pig, I clearly told him to hide on the roof of the building and not to come out, but now it's good, he just jumped out without saying anything, and Hermione saw through his identity.

As far as this episode is concerned, let alone catching Peter Pettigrew, Hermione will not be able to pass this level.

"Hermione, this stray dog ​​can't be an Animagus!"

"No, I have a feeling that the third grade recently learned about Animagus in Professor McGonagall's class. For some personal reasons, after I finished my homework, I looked up this kind of stuff." Hermione quickly read Ai Wen glanced, his face suddenly turned red, but the wand in her hand was firmly pointed at Sirius Black, and she said in a hasty tone, "Believe me, Ai Wen, this dog is definitely an Animagus."

Seeing Hermione's expression, Aiwen secretly admired her hard work on homework.

"Hermione, if you have read the books on this topic carefully, you will know that the Ministry of Magic supervises wizards and witches who can turn into animals. There are detailed records showing what animals they turned into, and they There are only seven Animagus that have been successfully recorded in this century, and this dog is not among them."

"I thought so too, but he might be an illegal Animagus!" Hermione continued, "You told me before that you also finished the Animagus during the summer vacation, and you Not registered with the Ministry of Magic, is it?"

"Yes, but..."

"Ivan, what is your Animagus form?" Hermione asked suddenly.

Since the last time I saw Ivan's patron saint on the Quidditch pitch, Hermione has secretly checked a lot of information by herself this month.

In terms of Animagus research, she went deeper than most wizards.

But she was unable to determine what Aiwen's Animagus form was, nor could she determine the relationship between Animagus and the patron saint.

On the last day of the summer vacation, Hermione had always wanted to ask this question, but she finally summoned up the courage to ask it.

"My Animagus form is a black cat, you saw it before..."

Ivan stopped suddenly. Hermione had indeed seen her Animagus before. Not only had she seen it, but she had hugged it, not only had she hugged it, but also...

Obviously, Hermione also remembered something, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Sirius Black was surprised to find that the two people in front of him were not looking at him. He stepped back quietly, and Ivan and Hermione barely responded.

The corners of his mouth were raised upwards, this scene was too familiar to him, he had seen it countless times in James and Lily.

Falling in love is simply the fastest way to lower your IQ.

Black knew that Ivan and Hermione would not have the time to talk to him in a short time.

He quietly turned around and ran out of the owl post office, and disappeared around the corner of the street in a blink of an eye.

"Ivan, your Animagus, that black cat, that night..." Hermione said, biting her lip.

"Hermione, I don't mind showing you the transformation of Animagus, but the dog seems to have run away!" Sensing that the atmosphere was a bit wrong, Ivan said hastily.

"What?!" Hermione woke up suddenly, only to realize that the big black dog in front of her had disappeared. She said anxiously, "Oops, Ivan! That big black dog, he might be Sirius Black, we Professor McGonagall should be told about this."

"Relax, Hermione, there's no evidence that the stray dog ​​is an Animagus, it's just speculation on your part."

"We can't take any chances. If he is Sirius Black, then this is most likely the reason why he was able to enter the castle. The professors certainly don't know that Black is an Animagus, and they won't take precautions in this regard." He Min said seriously, "We must tell the professor about this, it's very important."

Yeah, that's really important.

There was a wry smile on the corner of Ai Wen's mouth, obviously only one day away from solving the whole incident.

At that time, Sirius Black will go wherever he likes, even if he goes to the office of Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge, no one will care about him.

Who would have thought that such a problem would happen at the last moment!

If Hermione told the professors about this, not to mention entering the Gryffindor Tower to catch Peter Pettigrew, whether Black could get close to the castle would be a problem.

Based on Ivan's understanding of Snape, if he knew Black's Animagus form, he might be so excited that he couldn't sleep, and went to catch Black in the Forbidden Forest overnight.

He had to find a way to fool him, but he didn't want to lie to Hermione.

A lie will be exposed sooner or later, regardless of whether the lie itself is full of good intentions, it will cause harm to each other and cause an irreparable rift between two people.

Especially considering that Hermione had just discovered that he was a black cat in the form of Animagus on the last night of summer vacation, Ivan felt that he had better be honest.

Perhaps, he could consider telling Hermione all about his plans, about Sirius Black and Pettigrew, and she would surely believe him.

In this way, I can have one more helper, and the chances of catching Ban Ban will be even greater!

Chapter 113 Convincing Hermione

"You guessed right, Hermione!" Ivan said suddenly, "The dog just now was indeed Sirius Black, just as you thought, he was an Animagus."

"What did you say?!" Hermione didn't react, as if she was still digesting the news.

She raised her head and saw Ai Wen looking at herself seriously, not at all like joking.

"I said the big black dog was Sirius Black!"

"Oh my god, I knew it a long time ago! It's unbelievable that Black was standing opposite us just now!" Hermione said with her eyes wide open, "Ivan, we should tell Professor McGonagall about this as soon as possible, She's in the Three Broomsticks."

"No, we can't tell the professor about this." Ivan shook his head, "Black is innocent, I believe him."

"I don't believe it!" Hermione screamed, taking a step back, she looked at Ivan in horror, "Black is supporting Voldemort, he killed thirteen people, and now he escaped from Azkaban and came to Hogwarts , just to kill Harry, you actually believe him?!"

"Hermione, listen to my explanation!" Ivan said hurriedly, "Black told me upstairs just now that he was wronged, and he didn't kill him that year..."

"If he was wronged, why didn't he tell other people, many people can help him!" Hermione seemed to not know Ivan, she said loudly, "Look at what he did, from Azka Ben escaped from prison; just before Halloween, he broke into Hogwarts Castle and tried to enter the Gryffindor common room to find Harry, something an innocent person would do?!"

"Black is looking for Peter Pettigrew, Ron's Scabbers, who is also an Animagus and does everything."

"You're crazy, Ivan, how could Banban be an Animagus!" Hermione's voice trembled almost out of control, "It must be Black..."

Hermione's voice became louder and louder, and two girls from Hufflepuff School were attracted by her voice. They were Hannah Abbott and Susan Burns. Wen and Hermione.

Ai Wen had a headache, it was related to his next plan, and some words were not suitable for outsiders to hear.

Especially the other party is Aibo and Burns. Based on Ivan's understanding of them, if they know something, it means that all the students in the school know about it. He doesn't want this matter to be spread.

"Keep your voice down, Hermione!" Ivan whispered.

But it didn't work, Hermione was still talking excitedly about Sirius Black, Hannah Abbott and Susan Burns were getting closer.

Wait a minute, when men and women quarrel and argue, what do boys do? !

In the next second, Ivan didn't even think about it. He subconsciously held Hermione's little hand, pulled her into his arms slightly, and pressed her head against his chest.

Hermione stopped suddenly, her body was tense in Ivan's arms, her face turned red instantly from top to bottom, and her thoughts drifted further and further away.

"Oh my God!" Hannah and Susan screamed in unison, and they looked at each other, seeing a trace of uncontrollable excitement in each other's eyes.

Ivan and Hermione... This is big news!

They hurriedly turned around, as if they hadn't seen Aiwen and Hermione at all, and walked quickly to the far corner of the street, eager to share the news with others.

Seeing the two of them leave, Ivan was relieved.

He could feel Hermione trembling slightly in his arms, warm and soft like a kitten, with the sweet smell unique to girls, and Ivan suddenly found his heart beating violently.

In fact, both of those who held the action were holding their breath, almost out of breath.

A few seconds later, Crookshanks, who was held in Hermione's arms, suddenly struggled. It was almost suffocated by these two guys.

Hermione seemed to have just realized what happened, she hurriedly pushed Ivan aside, gasping for breath, her face was very red.

"Hermione?!" Ivan opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

"I'm trying to convince myself to believe you, Alvin!" Hermione tried not to think about what happened just now, she felt that her head was in a mess.

"Trust me, Hermione!" Ivan looked at Hermione seriously. According to the procedure, should he confess his love next? !

But before he could speak, Hermione said, "I believe you, but I still can't imagine how Scabbers could be an Animagus. He has lived in Ron's house for so long!"

"To be precise, it is 12 years. Which mouse have you seen can live for such a long time?" Ai Wen was stunned for a moment, why did the topic return to Ban Ban, so he had no choice but to continue, "Remember our summer vacation in Miracle In the creature store, what did that witch say, an ordinary house mouse like Scabbers can live no more than three years!"

"But..." Hermione hesitated.

"Do you know Peter Pettigrew?" Ivan asked suddenly.

"Yes, I checked the information back then." Hermione's face was pale, trying to recall, "He was the wizard who was killed by Black, and the Ministry of Magic awarded him a first-class Medal of Merlin. It is said that the largest One piece of remains, his finger."

"That's it, you know, Scabbers' front paw is missing a toe!"

"It might just be a coincidence, maybe it was fighting some other mouse, or something..."

The more Hermione spoke, the lower her voice was. Now that I thought about it, Scabbers' behavior was really suspicious, not like an ordinary mouse at all.

Since the big black dog just now could be Sirius Black, why can't Scabbers not be Peter Pettigrew?

"Blake told me everything, he drove Peter to nowhere to escape..."

"Wait a minute, Ivan!" Hermione said hastily, "Why did Black chase Peter Pettigrew 12 years ago? This is not in line with common sense. Since Voldemort had already failed at that time, he should..."

"Black didn't serve Voldemort, from beginning to end!" Ivan explained, "The one who loyal to Voldemort is Peter Pettigrew, who betrayed Harry's parents to Voldemort, and Black went after Peter to avenge them .”

Hermione said nothing, looking as though Jean was still trying to digest the shocking fact.

"Blake had Peter Pettigrew running nowhere, and Peter was yelling that Black had betrayed Harry's parents, and before Black could attack him, he blew up the street with a spell, killing him twenty feet around him. Everyone inside, then fled into the gutter with the other rats, and Black was caught by the Aurors who came after him."

"Black betrayed Harry's parents? Why didn't he explain it to the others?"

"Because the Ministry of Magic didn't give him a chance to explain, they sent him to Azkaban without a trial; besides, Black also believed that he killed Harry's parents. After killing Peter, He wants to go there to atone for his sins." Ivan said, "Harry's parents planned to use the Loyalty Curse to protect themselves. They originally planned to make Black their secret keeper. At the last moment, Black suggested that they change the secret keeper to Peter, you know what happened later, and this is the main reason why everyone thinks Black is guilty."

"So Black is indeed innocent?" Hermione said uncertainly.

"That's right, Sirius Black was Harry's father's best friend during his lifetime, he was Harry's godfather, he couldn't possibly hurt Harry!" Ivan looked at Hermione, "I know, what I said, It does sound unbelievable, but it is the truth, will you believe me, Hermione?"

Hermione looked up at Ivan, but didn't answer immediately.

"Hermione?!" Ivan looked at Hermione in surprise, the girl's chestnut eyes were extremely bright.

"Don't ask me this question again, Ivan!" Hermione's voice was as firm as steel, "I have already answered it just now, I believe in you, forever!"

Crookshanks, who had been held in Hermione's arms all this time, let out a bored cry. The two talked for so long, making it impatient.

In its view, Sirius Black was originally innocent, and he didn't understand why Ivan had to say so much.

Also, where did the confession go? !

Let it wait for so long in vain, but you haven't seen a good show, Aiwen, where is your integrity? !

Chapter 114 Lucius' Christmas Present

At this moment, the atmosphere in Malfoy Manor in Wiltshire, England is tense.

All the house elves in the manor were cautious. They looked at the door of the master's study in horror, not daring to make the slightest sound, for fear of disturbing the master accidentally.

Inside the study is a spacious circular room with luxurious decorations.

With dark green and silver as the main color, it is decorated with luxurious furniture, marble fireplace and gilt mirror.

Right above the ceiling is a precious crystal chandelier, and the floor tiles are covered by gorgeous carpets. The huge bookshelves surrounding most of the room are filled with out-of-print magic books, and there are more than a dozen portraits hanging beside them. All are the patriarchs of the Malfoy family.

Under the portrait, Lucius Malfoy looked gloomyly at the flames in the fireplace. From the expression on his face, it was clear that he was in a bad mood right now.

He had just received a letter, the content of which was very simple. The group of old guys from the Hazardous Creatures Committee said that they would return all the gold Galleons he had sent earlier, which meant that they would refuse to support themselves in killing The hippogriff's decision.

Unbelievable, they actually cut off the Malfoy family? !

If this kind of thing is put in the past, it is simply unimaginable.

Lucius originally thought that the Ministry of Magic politicians had always been under his control, relying on the prestige and money offensive of the Malfoy family, he was a duck to water among them.

Even if the Dark Lord failed to escape 12 years ago, the power of the Malfoy family was not affected in the slightest.

But now, they actually rejected themselves? !

There was a wry smile on Lucius' face. He wanted to do something, but found that he couldn't do anything.

In recent years, the prestige of the Malfoy family has indeed declined greatly. Until now, he was so weak that he couldn't even kill a Hippogriff.

"Damn it, it's all damn Dumbledore and those dirty Mudbloods!" Lucius said angrily.

In his opinion, it was all Dumbledore's fault.

The life of the pure-blood families is getting harder and harder, and their status is going from bad to worse. On the contrary, more and more Muggle-born Mudbloods are in high positions.

Lucius suddenly missed the days when the Dark Lord was still there. Although he didn't have much affection for Voldemort, the other party's ideas were what pure-blood families really needed. They were the most noble, those damned mudbloods and Muggles were, of course, enslaved by them.

Lucius took a deep breath, he knew he had to keep calm, although he thought so in his heart, he couldn't show these dangerous thoughts.

Judging from the current situation, this does not do him any good.

The ability of the Malfoy family to last for a thousand years is not due to short-term strong power, but unparalleled wisdom in life.

But he can't just do nothing and wait for his complaint request to be rejected!

Since I was kicked out from the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry board at the beginning of this year, the Malfoy family has lost all face; It will really become everyone's laughing stock.
