Magical Studies at Hogwarts

"Clap!"

In the quiet tavern, a sudden sound woke up the stunned Sirius and others.They followed the sound and saw Aberforth picking up the broken glass on the ground.

He was a little absent-minded and even got cut by broken glass.

Seeing Aberforth hastily cleaning up the broken glass on the ground and leaving, Sirius also turned around and asked seriously: "Hermione, how do you know this?"

"Wait!" Ron shouted immediately, "Is Hermione telling the truth?"

Sirius was also stunned, his eyes swept back and forth over the three of them, and he asked in surprise: "Wait, you don't know either?"

"I don't know." Harry and Ron shook their heads. Hermione had never told them at all.But if you think about it carefully, there are signs.Harry's mind unconsciously pictured Dumbledore's right hand, which was burnt black at first, but now intact.

At this time, Sirius said aloud: "I don't know how you know, but I have to say that your guess is right... Yes, Dumbledore's time is running out."

"How long does he have?" Hermione continued.

"I don't know, but it won't be more than a year." Sirius shook his head and said seriously, "Okay, that's it. I hope that when you leave this tavern, you will have this whole thing in your stomach. Besides, if you want to tell anyone...only a very small number of people know about that matter now, and it can definitely be leaked and spread to the ears of these guys."

"Okay." All eight people nodded seriously, and Hao Zhi even made a zipper motion for his mouth.Seeing this, Sirius put on some snacks and said to Ron: "Ron, please keep an eye on the two of us for a little while, okay?"

Ron nodded solemnly when he heard this, but the conversation aroused a little satisfaction from Katie and Hao Zhi.

"You are big kids who know everything, Sirius." Katie said.

"Well, they are indeed grown children not yet." Sirius said, drank the butterbeer in the glass in one gulp, stood up, and straightened his clothes.

"Wait, he's leaving, Sirius?" Katie asked in surprise.

"Yes." Sirius said with a smile.

"But, you don't have many questions to ask him..." Katie was interrupted by Sirius before she could finish her words.

"It must be about You-Know-Who and the Death Eaters. Do you think they can't ask Ron less?" I said and hugged Katie. "As for the rest, you just said: I hope he will always be treated peacefully." Stay safe, Hao Zhi."

"He too, Sirius." Katie said seriously. Seeing this, Sirius laughed again, hugged Harry and Ron again, and left, leaving only eight people standing there looking at each other.

We looked at each other for a long time before Harry said without any hesitation: "Did I pay the bill?"

"It hasn't been paid yet!" As soon as he finished speaking, Ah Sifusi's voice sounded from the front of the bar.Xun Sheng looked around and saw that I had a warm face and said angrily: "Have you finished drinking? Just leave as soon as you finish drinking. You are closing the door!"

There was very little butterbeer left in the glasses for eight, but no one wanted to stay any longer.Qi Qi wrapped herself tightly again, pushed the door open and rushed back into the wind and snow.

After walking a little distance, Katie suddenly stopped walking when she thought of what Sirius had just said.When I stopped, Ron and Harry also stopped.

"What's the matter, Katie?" Harry asked shivering despite the wind and snow.

Katie ignored Harry, turned to look at Ron next to her and asked, "Ron, how did he know?"

"what?"

"Young Master Hao Zhifang!"

"Oh, you can tell it's very complicated. If he puts less focus on studying..." Ron said fiercely, his voice was low, but it was enough for Katie to hear clearly.

"But why did Sirius ask you to ask him about Fu Di..." Katie said angrily, but before I finished speaking, no one stopped me from reading out this person's name.

"He can name this name, Hao Zhi."

Dumbley knew when he appeared, with a head of damp ash-brown hair.

"Ah, Dumbley, why is he out there?" Katie was beaten and her anger was not gone, so she asked Dumbley.

"He knows that you are an Aolo after all. It is unusual to perform patrol duties in Hogsmeade." Dumbledore said, "Yes, you should stop suffering from the cold outside and go to Eight Broomsticks." How about it?"

After saying that, he pulled Katie directly to the eight broomsticks.

Dumbledore led the eight people to an empty seat, ordered each of you a glass of butterbeer, and left before leaving.It didn't seem rude at all, but the eight people were very vague on the outside. Dumbledore was just in a good mood.From the time I saw you being treated like that during the summer vacation, I also know what is bothering you and making you anxious for such a long time.

"Okay, butterbeer, I can finally have a good drink that time." Harry picked up the cup and drank one-eighth of it in one breath, burping, with a happy smile on his face.

Katie took a sip, but she was thinking about the question that Dumbley had just interrupted.I looked at Hao Zhi and asked, "Hao Zhi, why does he know so little about the Death Eaters? Doesn't he still have no contact with this guy?"

"Are you available now?" Hao Zhi replied after taking a sip of butter beer.

"Now? Not later?" Katie's voice suddenly became smaller. "Does he know that I killed Mundungus!"

Harry heard the sound and quickly gave Katie a hand.

"Hao Zhi, don't be so quiet..."

"Yeah, does he want everyone to know? Is he sure you tell him outside?" Ron also said fiercely, but his tone was less sinister.

He took another sip of butterbeer and then said: "Okay, wait until you get back, and you will tell him what he wants to know. Now, stay warm."

Katie temporarily became quiet after hearing this, but you could still see from my face that I was fierce inside.Without such a face next to him, Harry had no desire to stay out there anymore.They drank up the butterbeer in the glass in two or eight gulps, then stared at Hao Zhi and drank half of the glass. Before Katie finished the whole glass, she immediately said: "You guys go back."

"Okay." Ron nodded, and the eight of them returned to the snow before they finished paying.

Even if the weather is good, it will affect the nature of people's play.Many people with us also chose to go back to the cool castle of Hogwarts.Behind you is Hao Zhi Bell, an acquaintance of ours and the suitor of the Quidditch team. You have a box wrapped around your hand, talking and laughing with your friends.

Just like that, we stepped on the frozen hard snow, facing the wind and snow that was still stopping, and walked hard towards the castle.But for a while, a high-pitched voice reached Katie's ears through the wind and snow.

Looking behind the sound, it was Hermione and your friend. The two boys were arguing over the box in Hao Zhi's hand.

Suddenly, Hermione's friend reached out to grab something from Hao Zhi's hand. Hermione pulled back hard and the box fell to the ground.

In the last second, Hermione floated up, her limbs stretched out naturally, her eyes closed, her hair fluttering in the wind, like a fairy.

A few seconds later, a shrill scream suddenly sounded!
