In mid-October, the first Quidditch match at Hogwarts began, Gryffindor vs. Hufflepuff.

The torrential rain has not stopped since the morning, and the weather is extremely bad, but the Quidditch match will not be suspended due to the weather.

"Harry doesn't look well?" Luna put down the binoculars and asked Hermione and Ron beside her.

"Oh! It's just too bad he barely slept last night," said Ron.

However, even though the weather and conditions were not good, the competition was still intense, and Harry had been looking for the Snitch carefully from high above.

When Gryffindor led by fifty points, Luna suddenly felt her whole body turn cold, like the feeling of meeting a dementor on the train on the first day of school...

Dementors!

Luna snapped back to her senses, the cold feeling was gone, but just when she was about to rejoice, she heard Hermione's scream beside her.

High in the sky, a figure fell straight down!

The instant Harry fell, Hufflepuff Seeker Cedric Godrey caught the Snitch and the game was over.

It wasn't until evening that Madam Pomfrey allowed everyone to visit Harry in the ward, and a group of Gryffindors rushed in. Luna thought for a while outside the ward, and decided to wait for everyone to leave before going to see Harry.

"Luna, you're here." Harry pretended to be very energetic.

"Well, let me give you this, you can use it before you buy a new broom." Luna took out her own broom, "I heard that your light wheel... I'm sorry."

Harry smiled indifferently, and took the broomstick, "Thank you, I was still thinking about what kind of broom to practice with just now, the pile of shooting stars at school is not a good choice."

Luna also smiled, "It's good that you can use it."

Harry lowered his head and was silent for a while, "Luna, have you heard of Ominous?"

"Ominous? I heard from Hermione in the library before, she said that you were told by the professor in the divination class that you were ominous." Seeing Harry's serious look, Luna couldn't help but wonder, "But Hermione said that was completely nonsense , you don't believe it, do you?"

"I don't believe it, I've seen it," said Harry, "I saw it twice, when I was running out of my aunt's house during the Today, when the Dementor broke into the arena, I saw its shadow reappear below."

"What did you see?" Luna asked.

"A dog, a big black dog."

Luna knew right away what Harry was talking about, but there was no way Sirius Black was going to be Harry's ominous.But he shouldn't be so risky to go to the Quidditch field with so many people.

Seeing that Luna stopped talking, Harry was a little embarrassed, "Uh, sorry, I can't talk to Ron and Hermione about this, they will send me to Dumbledore for protection, of course, I know they must be out of concern I."

"Oh? You mean I don't care about you, so can you tell me about it?" Luna asked back.

"Uh, no, of course not, I just thought you were only interested in magical creatures and wouldn't believe in such unreasonable things." Harry quickly explained.

Luna smiled, "Look, you even said it's unreliable, why do you care about it?"

After chatting with Harry, Luna felt compelled to meet Sirius in the Forbidden Forest.

This time, the big black dog was waiting in front of the Whomping Willow, and when Luna approached, he changed back into Sirius Black.

"Have you gone to see Harry? How is he?" Sirius asked anxiously.

Luna sighed, it seems that he really went to school to peek at Harry's game, "Harry has no problem, only his broom was blown by the wind and it was broken by the Whomping Willow, but I just gave him my broom so he won't miss training until he buys a new one."

"Your broom? What brand?"

"Sweep."

"That kind of broken broom..." Sirius muttered dissatisfiedly, Luna was very helpless, was his partiality to Harry a little too much?That's why Luna would never believe that Sirius could be Harry's ominous.

"You look better?" Luna said, "I haven't found you since the last time I saw you. I haven't found that mouse yet, but don't be too anxious to appear at Hogwarts rashly." If it was discovered inside, no one will listen to your explanation."

"Are you teaching me a lesson?" Sirius began to look impatient again.

Luna quickly waved her hand, "Don't talk, don't talk, it's getting dark early, if I don't go back, I will be in trouble, I will come to see you another day, if you are still there!"

In fact, Luna has been looking for opportunities to tell Harry about Sirius Black, but the two are neither in the same college nor in the same grade, so there are not many opportunities to meet, and Harry has been in a mood lately. It's very bad, and Luna has no chance to talk to him.

Until one week before the Christmas holiday, the school had another chance to visit Hogsmeade Village.

Luna thought Harry was the only third year student staying at school again, so she planned to go to him and talk to him about Sirius by the way.

However, as soon as Luna left the Ravenclaw lounge, Harry came to see her.

"Luna, come with me quickly, I'll take you somewhere." Very rare, Harry seemed in a good mood.

The two arrived in the middle of the corridor on the fourth floor. There was a statue of a one-eyed witch behind a classroom. Harry took out his wand and tapped lightly on the statue, "Left and right separated."

The back of the statue opened immediately, and there was an entrance big enough for one person to pass through.

"here is?"

"Let's go in first." Harry said excitedly.

The passage in the hole was dark, and both Luna and Harry lit their wands, and Harry began to explain.

"We're going to Hogsmeade!" Harry glanced at the shocked Luna, "Fred and George gave me a piece of parchment just now, it's no ordinary parchment, it can show Hogger Every road in Watts, and we are now taking the secret road to Hogsmeade, which even Filch doesn't know. And as long as someone is in Hogwarts, then no matter where he is, he will be blocked by this The Marauder's Map shows the location."

Luna suddenly panicked, "What about the Forbidden Forest?"

"Of course the Forbidden Forest can also be displayed, as long as it's in Hogwarts..."

"Show me the map." Luna said quickly.

Harry glanced at Luna with some doubts, but still took out the Marauder's Map, pointed at it with his wand, "I solemnly declare that I will do no good."

Immediately, lines appeared on the parchment. Luna scanned quickly and found the part of the Forbidden Forest, but she was surprised to find that there was a passage under the Whomping Willow, and the other end of the passage was not shown on the map.

Seeing her looking towards the Whooping Willow, Harry said, "That's also a way to leave Hogwarts, but the entrance is under the Whomping Willow, so no one dares to go there. What do you think it's doing?"

"Uh, it's nothing, by the way, why did you think of taking me with you? I'm only in the second grade." Luna quickly changed the subject.

Harry shrugged, "Although I want to say that this is what I mean, but Fred and George will definitely not let me go if they find out. They said when they gave me the Marauder's Map, if I want to borrow If it goes to Hogsmeade, it will take you with it, because I have an invisibility cloak, which can keep you from being found in Hogsmeade."

"Oh!" Luna couldn't help exclaiming, "I'm so thankful to Fred and George. I just casually mentioned yesterday that I also want to go to Hogsmeade, and they actually remembered!"

The two walked for more than ten minutes. After climbing hundreds of stairs, Harry, who was walking in front, stopped, "There is a floor door, we should have arrived."

Harry took his Invisibility Cloak out of the cloak, covering both himself and Luna.Climbing out of the door, it is not difficult to find that the two of them are in a small warehouse. At this time, someone pushed open the warehouse door and came in. Luna subconsciously wanted to hide, but Harry pulled him away from the person. After walking out the door, Luna remembered that she had already put on the invisibility cloak.

Hogsmeade was indeed as lively as everyone said, it was crowded with students everywhere, Luna and Harry had to walk through the crowd carefully.

"Will Harry like this?" Hermione asked.

"Idiots like that," said Ron in a bad tone, who had been glaring at Hermione ever since he thought Scabbers had been eaten by Crookshanks.

Beneath a shop with an "Unusual Flavors" sign, Ron and Hermione were researching what presents to bring Harry home.

"I'd rather have that weird lollipop," said Harry suddenly, which startled Ron and Hermione.

"Oh! Harry?" Hermione obviously realized that Harry was standing behind wearing the Invisibility Cloak, and she whispered dissatisfiedly, "You shouldn't be here!"

"Me too~" Luna said mischievously.

Hermione was even more surprised now, but she didn't dare to speak loudly. She and Ron exchanged glances, and walked out of the crowd. Luna and Harry hurriedly followed them.

"What's the matter with you two? Do you think you can hide everything with the invisibility cloak?" Hermione dared to speak loudly when there was no one in the open space, "Professor McGonagall said that dementors can see through the invisibility cloak." , if it thinks you are suspicious..."

"Did you enter by the front door?" Ron interrupted Hermione.

"No, the inspection at the main entrance is too strict." Harry smiled, and told about the Marauder's Map.

This made Ron complain very much. He felt that Fred and George were not towards his own brother at all. They never told Ron about the Marauder's Map.

Hermione said confidently, "But Harry won't keep it, right? You'll give it to Professor McGonagall, right?"

"Absolutely not!" Not only Harry and Ron, but also Luna refused, it was crazy to hand over such a good thing.

"But, if this map can know any secret passages, maybe Sirius Black will know too!" Hermione said anxiously.

Luna laughed, "He doesn't need to know this way~ er, I mean, didn't he enter Hogwarts without using the secret way? It was the time when your portrait was attacked, what does it matter? He won't, um, not hurt Harry."

"Well, why are we standing here?" said Ron. "Harry, Luna, I'll take you to the Three Broomsticks for a butterbeer there!"

Although Hermione was still very angry, she couldn't say anything more now, so she could only follow the three of them to Three Broomsticks.

Hermione sat down by the fireplace with Harry and Luna, and Ron arrived in a short while with four glasses of butterbeer.Hermione cast a Disappearing Charm on a nearby Christmas tree, so that it completely blocked the table.

As soon as the four of them raised their glasses, four more people came in at the Three Broomsticks, the four who made Luna and the others flustered.There were Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick, Hagrid and the Minister for Magic, Cornelius Fudge.

Today is the last week before the holiday for their teachers, and it is normal for them to come here to relax.

"It would be terrible if we were found out now," said Hermione nervously.

Both Luna and Harry retracted their wine glasses into the invisibility cloak to prevent outsiders from discovering anything abnormal.

"What brought you here, Minister," asked Rosmerta, the proprietress of the bar.

"What else could it be?" Fudge shook his head. "Isn't it Black's attack on the school on Halloween."

"Do you think he's still here?" Rosmerta asked nervously.

"Sure," said Fudge.

"Oh, that means that the dementors will still hang around here." Rosmerta sighed and left to get drinks for the three professors and ministers.

"Do you remember who Black's best friend was at school?" Professor McGonagall whispered.

"Of course I remember!" Hagrid said loudly, "It's James, he and James are always inseparable!"

Luna clearly saw that the wine glass slipped from Harry's hand, and she grabbed it dangerously.Harry looked totally taken aback, it didn't occur to him that the man who was going to kill him was a good friend of his father's.

"He was the last thing I expected of all the bad guys," said Professor Flitwick. "He's so smart and decent, and yet he betrayed the Potters!"

The professors were still talking about Sirius Black, and Luna couldn't bear to listen anymore. She noticed that Harry's hand was clenched, as if trying to suppress her anger.

"Harry!" Luna shouted anxiously in the tunnel, but Harry ran so fast that she couldn't keep up.

When he was about to reach the exit of the one-eyed witch statue, Harry stopped, "I'm sorry, Luna, you go back first, I want to be alone for a while."

Luna frowned and made a big decision.

"Harry, I want to tell you that Black is not..."

"Don't mention him again!" Harry exploded, interrupting Luna, "You don't have to tell me again and again that my dad's best friend betrayed him! He's even my godfather!"

"Harry!" Luna said loudly, "I know you won't listen to what I say, but I tell you! Sirius Black is not the one who betrayed your father!"

Harry froze for a moment, then smiled ironically, "Are you trying to comfort me by saying that my godfather is a good man? You heard it just now, how he treated my dad! I beg you! Let's go, let I'll be alone for a while!"

"I'll prove it to you." Luna said seriously.
