Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

Harry shook his head, his mind full of ominous premonitions.

If Ivan didn't catch Peter Pettigrew, then they must find a way to save Sirius, but Snape has been guarding the top of the tower.

With him around, they wouldn't stand a chance.

As time passed, Harry clenched his fists. He knew he had to give it a try. Just as he was about to act, he saw Ivan's figure reappear on the edge of the map. Dwarf Peter, and Centaur Firenze.

Harry still remembered that he had met this centaur in the Forbidden Forest in his first year, who had saved him from Voldemort.

He didn't know why Ivan was with Firenze, he didn't have time to think about these things, and they ran down in a hurry.

Harry thought excitedly, as long as he catches Peter Pettigrew, he can prove Sirius' innocence. He can move out of the Dursleys and live with his godfather next summer vacation. Best Christmas present ever.

Then he thought of the silver doe Patronus.

If not his mother, who summoned it?

Could it be Snape, as Hermione said?

Chapter 182 The Prisoner's Final Chapter

On the edge of the Hogwarts grounds, Ivan slipped off Firenze's back.

"Let's separate here, Ivan." Firenze whispered, "Further ahead is your human castle, and I am not suitable to enter it."

"Thank you, Firenze!" Ivan waved his wand, Peter Pettigrew floated beside him, he took two steps forward, suddenly remembered, turned his head and said, "By the way, about your tribe The things kept in it..."

"If you want it, you are welcome to our tribe at any time." Firenze raised his head to look at the sky and said softly, "The stars have told me that you may be the one chosen by fate. Good luck, Evan Mason!"

He turned around, left Ivan and Peter Pettigrew, and slowly ran back to the depths of the forest.

Aiwen waited until his figure completely disappeared, and took a last look at the unusually bright Mars in the night sky, and then walked towards the castle with Peter Pettigrew, who was unconscious.

He met Harry and Hermione in the hall a few minutes later.

"You caught Peter Pettigrew, you caught this traitor! I knew you would succeed!" Harry rushed over to look at Peter Pettigrew, completely putting aside the matter of the protector, all thoughts in his mind He was about to help Sirius clear his grievances, he said excitedly, "Tell us, Ivan, how did you do it, I just saw Firenze on the Marauder's Map?"

Before Ivan had time to answer Harry, Hermione walked up to him.

There were crystal tears in her eyes, and emotions such as excitement, nervousness, and worry mixed on her face. She didn't speak, and stepped forward to hug him tightly.

"I'm fine, Hermione!" Ivan patted her on the shoulder lightly, "I met a centaur in the Forbidden Forest, Firenze helped me..."

While climbing up a steep stone spiral staircase, Aiwen briefly told the two of them what happened in the Forbidden Forest.

"It's unbelievable, our place is not as smooth as yours!" Harry told the story of his and Hermione's encounter with the Patronus, "I don't understand, who summoned the doe?"

"I agree with Hermione, it should be Snape."

"Snape?!" Harry shook his head and said stubbornly, "It's impossible, how could he..."

"Okay, Harry! We're working on this later, and we're running out of time. We have exactly 10 minutes left. We need to go back to the ward before anyone sees us, before Dumbledore locks us up... ' Hermione looked down at her watch.

Hearing Hermione's words, the three of them hurried to speed up.

The corridor of the castle was quiet, except for them, there was no one else, and even the portraits on both sides of the corridor were empty.Everyone seemed to be gathering at the tower, inquiring about Sirius Black.

It was not until they climbed to the fourth floor that they heard a rattling sound coming from the front.

"It's Peeves!" Harry murmured, signaling Ivan and Hermione to stop.

Ahead of them, Peeves appeared to be in high spirits, bouncing down the corridor ahead, having a good time.

The three of them looked at each other and hurriedly hid in an empty classroom on the left.

"He's scary!" whispered Hermione, putting her ear to the door. "I bet he's so happy because the dementors are coming to finish Sirius..."

"He seems to be gone, we have to hurry up!" Ivan also lay on the door and listened for a while, and Peeves' gloating voice gradually disappeared in the distance.

"There are 3 minutes left!" Hermione looked at the watch in her hand again.

The three of them slipped out of the classroom and ran.Ivan waved his wand wildly, Peter Pettigrew's body also accelerated, floating tightly behind him, looking extremely weird, like an extremely ugly human-shaped kite.

"Hermione, what's going to happen if we don't go back before Dumbledore locks the door?" Harry gasped.

"I don't want to think about it!" Hermione groaned, looking at her watch again. "One minute left!"

Panting, the three of them had already run to the entrance of the school hospital at the end of the corridor.

"I heard Dumbledore talking." Hermione said nervously, "Come on, Ivan! Come on, Harry!"

As they stooped down the corridor, the door to the ward opened, revealing Dumbledore's back in front of them.

"I've locked you here, and it's five minutes to midnight!" said Dumbledore, "Miss Granger, six turns is all you need, good luck!"

Dumbledore exited the room, closed the door, drew his wand and magically locked the door.

Ivan, Harry, and Hermione ran forward in panic. Dumbledore looked up, and a smile appeared under his long mustache.

"Huh?" he said quietly.

"Professor, we did it!" said Harry breathlessly. "We caught Peter Pettigrew."

"Good job, now leave him to me." Dumbledore looked at them with a wide smile, and he tapped his wand lightly, conjuring a stretcher out of thin air.

Pettigrew Peter, who had been floating in the air, fell on the stretcher. Ivan felt that he had lost control of him, and a powerful force instantly blocked his magic.

"Professor, I have something to ask you." Ivan said hastily.

He wanted to tell Dumbledore about Professor Trelawney's prophecy, and by the way, ask him what his plan was, the purpose of this evening's arrangement, and so on.Also, Ivan also wanted to know what Dumbledore thought of the fact that the treasure key left by Gryffindor, which was preserved in the centaur tribe, was split.

"Of course, Ivan, but not now, you need to rest." Dumbledore said calmly.

"Professor, I also have something to tell you about the Patronus of the Doe..." Harry continued.

"The same goes for you, Harry, what can I say tomorrow!" Dumbledore seemed to be listening for any voices in the school hospital, "Very well, I think you are gone too. Go in, and leave the rest of the matter to you." Leave it to me, you three need to rest, I'm going to lock you up."

Ivan, Harry and Hermione slipped back to the ward, which was empty except for Ron, who was still lying unconscious on the bed.

The door lock slammed behind them, and Alvin, Harry, and Hermione each climbed back to their beds, and Hermione tucked the timer back under her robe.

Madam Pomfrey came back from her office shortly, checked on them, and gave them some chocolates.

Ai Wen ate two pieces, his consciousness became more and more heavy, and he gradually fell asleep.

He knew that this year's incident was finally resolved, he finally changed the plot, he captured Pettigrew Peter, and saved Sirius Black.

Ai Wen didn't know that what he did would have an impact on his future, but no matter what he faced, he was already prepared.He is going to gradually strengthen his own strength, first find a way to obtain the treasure key fragment left by Gryffindor preserved in the centaur tribe, and then...

Chapter 183 Medal of the Order of Merlin

The following events began to develop in a good direction.

The next morning, as soon as Ivan woke up, he saw Ron endlessly apologizing to himself, Harry, and Hermione.

He cried bitterly and said that he was a bastard. He told the details of how he was controlled by Peter Pettigrew. He said that he should not believe everyone.

Although Ivan felt that Ron seemed to have concealed part of it, he eventually forgave him just like Harry and Hermione.

After all, not everyone can successfully break free from the Imperius Curse.

With Ron's performance at the last moment last night, it is enough to prove that he is different from Peter Pettigrew, he is a well-deserved hero.

Ron didn't stay in the school hospital for too long. According to Madam Pomfrey's suggestion, he was sent to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Wounds at seven o'clock in the morning after breakfast for examination, and he would probably be there Spend the rest of the Christmas break.

Although everyone was worried, Madam Pomfrey repeatedly assured that he would recover without any sequelae.

Just after parting with Ron, Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge walked into the ward accompanied by Dumbledore.Behind them, there were three adult wizards walking into the ward together, one male and two females, all around 50 or [-] years old.

Ai Wen glanced over these three people one by one. The lady following Fudge was wearing a black robe, with a square chin, short gray hair, and a pair of monocles.

Ivan has no impression of this person at all.

But when he saw the witch beside her, Aiwen's heart skipped a beat. He had a bad feeling. Could this be the legendary Umbridge? !

Umbridge looked like a huge pale toad in a peach suit.She was short and stout, with a broad, flabby face, a large mouth drooping downward, and her eyes were large, round, and slightly protruding.

Even the little black velvet bow on her short curly hair reminded Ivan of a big fly that she was about to stick out her long sticky tongue to catch.

Behind Umbridge was a serious-looking wizard with a straight back and stiff movements, wearing a spotless black robe and well-polished shoes.The strikingly short moustache on his face seemed to have been trimmed with a sliding rule.Ivan has never seen a wizard who thinks he is so rigorous. If he is not wearing a wizard robe but a suit, he can pretend to be a Muggle bank manager.

This guy is definitely Percy's idol.

In Aiwen's impression, there is only one person who can become the object of Percy's worship in this respect, and that is Barty Crouch, the guy who was finally killed by his Death Eater son Barty Crouch Jr.

Ivan looked at the other party carefully, wondering if he had hidden Barty Crouch Jr. at home now?

If possible, he would like to report the other party or tell the story, but it is estimated that no one will believe him.

As the most senior official of the Ministry of Magic, Barty Crouch has a very high reputation. If it weren't for his son, he is very likely to be the Minister of Magic now.

When Ivan looked at the three people opposite, they also looked at Ivan, Harry, and Hermione with serious faces, especially staying on Harry for the longest time.

"Good morning, children!" Fudge said in a low voice with a tired face and a poor mental state, as if he hadn't slept last night, "It's unbelievable that Peter Pettigrew did everything, and Blake was innocent Yes. Look what we've done, the Ministry of Magic is going to be a laughing stock, the Daily Prophet will have a chance to laugh, if anyone else knows about it..."

"We're a laughing stock now, Minister!" Barty Crouch interrupted him, with a hint of impatience in his voice, "We actually locked up Sirius Black in Azkaban for 12 years, who knew there were still How many people are innocent!"

"Yeah, you're right!" Fudge seemed to understand what the other party meant, he hesitated for a moment, and said cautiously, "This is indeed our negligence, but I remember that you were the Secretary of Magical Law Enforcement back then. Director, you presided over all the charges against the Death Eaters at that time..."

"Thank you for your reminder, Minister!" Barty Crouch said dryly, "Whether it is me personally or to the Wizengamot, this matter is a shame that will never be washed away, thanks to these children It gave us the opportunity to make up for this mistake."

"It's really a blessing." Fudge didn't seem happy at all. He pointed to the three wizards beside him, and briefly introduced Ivan, Harry and Hermione, "Children, this is Barty Claw Strange, Director of International Magical Cooperation; the two ladies are Amelia Bornes, Director of Magical Law Enforcement; and Dolores Umbridge, Senior Undersecretary for Magic."

Crouch didn't look at them, he kept staring at Dumbledore.Burns showed a smile to Ivan, Harry, and Hermione, looking more friendly.

As for Umbridge, with a smirk on her face, she greeted the three of them in turn, and laughed like a silver bell, and Ivan heard the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end.

Both Harry and Hermione looked bad, especially Hermione. Under Umbridge's watchful eyes, her petite body shrank as much as possible into the quilt.

"Okay, boys, regarding the case of Black, the Wizengamot set up a special investigation team, and all five of us are members of the investigation team." Fudge said shortly, "Although I have heard Albus say it just now, we I would also like to hear from you again about what happened last night."

Ivan, Harry, and Hermione looked at each other, and finally Ivan recounted what happened last night.Aiwen deliberately concealed the things about Ron, the Time Converter and the Centaur, and only said that he went to the Forbidden Forest to catch Peter Pettigrew.

"Shocking, at your age, I can't single-handedly catch an evil dark wizard." Umbridge looked at Ivan and said in a squeaky, squeaky voice like a little girl.

"It's just luck, ma'am!" Ivan replied cautiously.

"There's nothing to be modest about, Ivan, you've always been excellent." Fudge turned the hat in his hand and continued, "Things are pretty much the same as I imagined, the question now is, if someone asks you about this The thing, it's about how you caught Peter Pettigrew, you know..."

"I understand, Minister!" Ivan nodded, he knew what Fudge was going to say, "Although I caught Peter Pettigrew in the end, the Ministry of Magic has made a lot of efforts on this matter, and last year's snake Like a strange incident, if I get a chance, I will tell everyone."

"Thank you, Ivan, you have done us a great favor." Fudge breathed a sigh of relief. For him, as long as it does not affect the reputation of the Ministry of Magic or his career, whether Sirius is innocent or not is the most important thing. barriers no longer exist.

"You did a great job this time, the three of you and the boy from the Weasley family just mentioned, the Ministry is planning to apply for the Order of Merlin, Third Class, for the four of you!" Fudge continued, "Especially you , Aiwen, if I fight for it, I think the second level will be fine."

Chapter 184 "Hogwarts Wizardry" Development Plan

Founded by the famous medieval wizard Merlin in the middle of the eleventh century, the Merlin Sir Order is the earliest magical organization in the magical world and enjoys a high reputation.

Merlin wanted wizards to help Muggles, so he founded the Merlin Sir Order.

The purpose of the Merlin Sir Order was to help Muggles. It stipulates that wizards are prohibited from using magic on Muggles, and it is agreed that each wizard in the group is responsible for protecting Muggles.

At the end of the thirteenth century, social turmoil caused most wizards to be persecuted by Muggles. The Merlin Sir Order suspended its operations, and Merlin himself suffered greatly. He once wanted to disband the organization. With the promulgation of the Secrecy Act, the wizards completely went into hiding, and Sir Merlin began to operate again.

All wizards who have made contributions to the wizarding world have joined Sir Merlin, and medals are awarded to wizards who have made outstanding contributions to harmonious coexistence with Muggles.

After several centuries of development, the Sir Merlin Order has become the largest and most outstanding wizarding organization in the magical world, and it is also the only wizarding group in the entire magical world that is not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Magic, and at the same time recognized by the Ministry of Magic as an international excellent wizarding organization .

In the wizarding world, the highest honor a wizard can receive is the Order of Merlin.Medals are divided into three levels: first, second, third, and three levels. Dumbledore is the recipient of the first-level medal, and Gilderoy Lockhart once won the third-level medal, which is enough for him to brag about.

Ivan never thought that he would have the chance to win the Order of Merlin, Second Class, which was definitely an unexpected gain.

For a Muggle-born wizard like him who was only 12 years old, it was a miracle.

If Malfoy knew about this, he would be envious to death.

"We don't want the Order of Merlin!" Before Fudge finished speaking, he heard Harry say eagerly, "Minister, Sirius and Professor Lupine are innocent, they..."

"The matter of Black can only be decided after the Wizengamot trial. Judging from the current situation, it shouldn't be a problem." Fudge turned his head to look at Harry, barely showing a smile, "As for Lupine, he has already was cast, all charges against him dropped, and you'll see him in a moment."

"Then will he continue to teach?" Harry asked quickly.

"I'm sorry, Harry! Lupine has already submitted his resignation letter to me. He said that he can no longer take risks, and he is afraid that such a thing will happen again." Dumbledore said calmly.

"What?!" Harry couldn't believe that Professor Lupine had resigned.

Dumbledore glanced at Harry, turned to Fudge and said, "Connelly, I think those dementors, can they be removed from the school?"

"Oh, yes, they have to go." Fudge combed his hair absently with his fingers, "There is no need for them to stay here anymore, I never thought they would kiss an innocent boy before this, Totally out of control! I'll tell them to sort everything out and go back to Azkaban in a minute."

There was a sudden silence in the ward, and no one spoke.
