[HP] Night Haze

A week before Christmas, Angelo and his friends went to Hogsmeade again for the weekend.Now every store has a notice from the Ministry of Magic posted on the door. Dementors will patrol the streets here after sunset every day until they catch Sirius Black, so customers must finish their purchases before evening.

The heavy snow covered everything in a layer of holy silver. Although the weather was cold, it couldn't stop the enthusiasm of the little wizards.Hogsmeade was not depressed because of the daily patronage of the dementors. Instead, it concentrated all its popularity before evening, making it more bustling and bustling.

Angelo and his party are sitting in the Three Broomsticks enjoying hot butterbeer at the moment.Drinking a cup of hot beverage in such weather is nothing more than a pleasant thing.

"Why isn't Harry here yet?" Ron said impatiently, holding the cup to keep warm.The only ones sitting here today were the three Gryffindor cubs, and Draco wasn't with them.Master Malfoy has his own circle of activities in the academy.And Christmas is approaching, he said that he would choose a gift for everyone, if they followed to see it, they would lose the sense of surprise.

"Shh, keep your voice down." Hermione reminded Ron, she looked around cautiously and found that no one was paying attention to what they were saying, and exhaled softly.This inconspicuous location had been chosen deliberately to await the arrival of the blue-eyed boy, and Harry hadn't been given permission to come to Hogsmeade, so they would all be in trouble if he was known to be where he wasn't supposed to be.

Jingle bells—the bell hanging on the bar door made a crisp sound, and a group of visitors pushed the door and walked into the bar, bringing the chill outside the door.

The little lions, who had been keeping an eye on the door, saw who was coming in, and hurriedly moved the Christmas tree not far from their table, blocking most of their bodies.

After finishing all this, Professor McGonagall, Flitwick, Hagrid and the others passed by the aisle beside them.The last wizard to come in after the professors wore a dark yellow bowler hat - Fudge, Minister of Magic, whom no wizard in the pub didn't know.

"A small glass of canyon water, what do you want?" Professor McGonagall's voice sounded from an empty table behind. The little lions are out of luck. Unfortunately, the person they are most afraid of seeing is only separated from them The distance of one plank.

"Red currant rum." The Minister said as he turned his head to look at the door of the bar. It closed too slowly, causing the cold wind to rush in.

"Minister, what brought you here?" The bar owner, Rosmerta, greeted him with a smile. She pointed at the bar door with her magic wand and let it close silently.Rosmerta must have done this action countless times, and he is extremely skilled.She is a pretty witch, and many little wizards who go to Hogwarts have been infatuated with her.

"Hi, I'm here." When the lion cubs were highly nervous, Angelo felt the sofa next to him sink, and a familiar voice came from the air.

"Harry! Oh, you came in with them? You're so bold," said Hermione, clutching her chest.

"I'm wearing an invisibility cloak, so they can't see me." The blue-eyed boy whispered triumphantly, "It's so cold outside!"

"Warm your hands with my cup first." Angelo pushed his butterbeer glass to the place where Harry was sitting, "I'm going to order butterbeer, who wants more?"

"Me!" Hermione and Ron raised their hands at the same time.

*****

"Professor Lupine didn't doubt your leaving early, did he?" Angelo asked concerned as he brought the butter beer he just ordered to the table.The first day he had the chance to go to Hogsmeade, Lupine began teaching Harry the Patronus Charm.Afterwards, Harry was stymied by the enthusiasm of the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher.

"He didn't doubt it. I told him that I didn't have a good rest, so I couldn't concentrate my magic power, and then I slipped out." The glass filled with beer floated in the air, and the hot drink inside was half lost in the air.

"I'll show you something!" The cup was put back on the table, and following Harry's words, a tattered piece of parchment appeared out of thin air.

"This is what they gave me when I met George and Fred today. They said it was an early Christmas present for me and could help me come to Hogsmeade. They are so kind. We haven't discovered a few secret passages, maybe We should try it when we get back."

Under Harry's command, "I solemnly swear that I have done no good.", ink marks appeared on the parchment, but they only saw a castle pattern appearing in a corner of the parchment, and the rest of the parchment was still blank.

"Oh! It's beyond the range. When in Hogwarts Castle, it can show all the routes, and it can also mark everyone's location and name with small dots!" Harry said angrily.

"Everyone?" A panic flashed in Angelo's eyes, and he instinctively hid the hand with the ring under the table.

"Yes, this is a sharp weapon for night travel!" The blue-eyed boy didn't pay attention to his friend's actions, and his tone couldn't hide his excitement.

"Don't worry, Angelo. In order to avoid the possibility of being detected by magic objects, I have already blinded my name so that it will not be displayed on anything." The devil in the ring thought in Angelo's mind When, he reassured.Hearing Vidi's calm words, Angelo's worries were all gone.

"It's a pity, I can't wait for you to see it." Harry fiddled with the map, and Angelo and Viddy's communication was known only to them.

"We can go back and try again. It's not urgent, Harry." Angelo teased lightly, "But if you don't drink the butterbeer, they will be cold."

"Oh, you're right! The prank is over!" Under Harry's command, the map turned back into an ordinary old parchment.At this time, there were a group of Hogwarts teachers sitting around the table behind them, and they were suddenly slapped hard.

"Dirty, stinking traitor!" Hagrid's voice was so loud that the whole bar fell silent.

"Hush!" Professor McGonagall's voice sounded, and then their discussion was deliberately kept extremely low.

"Poor little thing, with a long gash on his forehead, and his parents are dead...and then Sirius Black appeared..." Hagrid's voice was broken, and he heard the gash on his forehead, along with The cubs, including Angelo, all looked at the empty space against the wall.

Angelo felt something brush past him—Harry switched places with him.Although he couldn't see it, Angelo could still imagine that the blue-eyed boy was clinging to the booth, listening to the conversation on the other side.

"...I didn't know he was James and Lily's secret keeper." Hagrid continued to speak, and the occasional words caught Angelo felt bad. He groped in the void and touched Harry's shoulder. Trying to stop Harry from listening.But a cold, invisible arm clung to him in the void.

Harry was shaking!This was Angelo's first reaction.

"Then he said: 'Give me Harry, Hagrid, I'm his godfather, and I'll take care of him—'" Hagrid's voice came from behind the booth.

Oops!Angelo's breathing stagnated.He felt his fingers being squeezed hard as the conversation ended, and then lost support without warning - Harry let him go.

The sudden ups and downs of the sofa meant that his friend Harry had stood up, and Angelo fumbled in the void, but missed.The door of the bar suddenly opened without warning, and the cold wind poured in violently from outside.

"It's really windy outside," Ms. Rosmerta said, looking at the empty door of the bar.Before she could close it with magic again, Angelo and his party rushed out in a hurry.

*****

"Ha..., where are you, come out!" Angelo shouted standing on the street outside the bar, and the people around just glanced at them and continued with their own affairs without interest.The snow on the streets of Hogsmeade had been shoveled clean, and the snowflakes melted as soon as they hit the ground. Harry hadn't taken off his invisibility cloak from the beginning to the end, and the method of finding him through footprints was not feasible in such an environment.

"I'll go to the secret passage to look for it." Angelo put on the cloak that he took off when entering the bar in the cold wind.

"I'll take a look around, we'll look separately, and we'll meet in the bar in an hour!" Hermione wrapped her coat tightly and ran out from under the eaves.Angelo followed his memory and walked into the secret passage in the cellar of the Honeydukes store. There was a series of clear wet footprints on the stone steps at the entrance of the secret passage.

"Harry!" In the secret passage, Angelo heard footsteps. After he called out the name of the blue-eyed boy, the footsteps in the secret passage became more hurried.

"Stop it, Harry!"

"Don't follow me!"

"Harry—"

"I want to be alone..."

"At this time, you'd better not follow, Angelo." Vidi's message came from the ring, "Let him go, it will be easier for him to think about the problem calmly by himself."

"I hope you're right." Angelo stopped chasing and stayed where he was. He stepped on a soft mass, which was a piece of worn parchment.

"Harry's map." Angelo recognized at a glance that this was what Harry showed them in the bar.

"It's yours now, Angelo." The young devil laughed in the ring.

"This is Harry's stuff! I have to give it back to him!" Angelo was ashamed of the red-eyed man's behavior.

"Do you think I'm rare for this kind of thing?" The male voice in the ring sneered, "If you don't want Black to be found by Harry Potter when he goes to the castle again, then put it away."

Angelo put the parchment in his pocket when he heard the words. He didn't want either Harry or Black to be hurt. With Viddy's contract in place, the misunderstanding between them will eventually be resolved one day.

"Don't you try the map? This place should have entered the range of Hogwarts. Maybe Black is wandering around here at this moment."

"I solemnly swear that I did nothing wrong." Angelo took out the map again.Sure enough, he had already entered the range of Hogwarts, and he saw the dot marked with Harry Potter's name, moving towards the castle.And in the direction of the Honeydukes store behind him, there are also small black dots marked with names moving quickly in this direction in the secret passage.One of the names, Angelo, was familiar, being his friend Ron, but the other...

"Peter Pedilu! Isn't he already dead!" Angelo called out.Oops, his friend is in danger, Angelo grasped the parchment tightly, and the two dots on the map were tightly stuck together.

"Don't panic, Angelo," said the young Demon King.

"Harry, Angelo! Where are you!" Ron's voice came from the end of the secret passage at this moment, anxious but not as hasty as when his life was threatened.

"I'm here, Ron!" Angelo glanced at the map one last time, stuffed the parchment back into his pocket and turned his head away.The red-haired boy appeared in his sight, and there were no other figures around him.

"Are you here alone?" Angelo glanced behind him.

"Yeah, Hermione didn't come with me, and it looks like you didn't find Harry either." The red-haired boy shrugged.

"I found it, but he went back to Hogwarts first. He wants to be alone, and I think we have to give him some space." Angelo walked to Ron's side calmly, secretly holding his wand .

"Oh, that's it. Let's go back to the bar. It would be even better if we meet Hermione on the way."

"En." Angelo responded, while conveying his doubts to the ring.

"Is Pediru invisible, Vidi?"

"No, it's just that something interesting happened," the young devil responded coldly, "I'll take care of this, Angelo."

"Don't kill him, Vidi!" Angelo had lingering fears about the methods the young devil might use. "Pedilu is the real criminal who killed Harry's parents!"

"Death proves Blake's innocence."

"Viddy!"

"I just want to mark him for easy tracking, don't worry!"

The blond boy trusted Viddy's assurance, so his tense nerves relaxed, but the young devil's words still held him back.

So that night, a disabled gray mouse was marked as a freshly baked Death Eater in the Gryffindor dormitory by a red-eyed man who appeared.From then on, the whereabouts of Pediru was not only controlled by the Dark Lord, but even his life was in the hands of the Dark Lord.

"Master...Master, Sirius is looking for me, I don't want to die." Feeling sheltered, the mouse returned from its Animagus state to its human form.Maybe it was because he had been a mouse for too long, he crawled humblely at the red-eyed man's feet, and there was a rat's wince in his small watery eyes.

"Stay with Ron Weasley, I guarantee that Black will not kill you." The young devil promised, as for whether the little mouse will be taken away by the Ministry of Magic, this has nothing to do with his guarantee up.

"Master...Master, thank you, master." The mouse-like humble wizard cried with joy. He was not used to calling others the word "Master", and he had never had such a chance.Back then, because he cowardly revealed the address of the Potter family, the Dark Lord was not only satisfied with his confession, but also extremely despised him.But now that he had the Dark Mark, he should be considered a Death Eater, and he had to get used to the title quickly.

"Continue to be your mouse and wait for my next call." The demon king who was born as a crowned horcrux also looked down on this mouse. Time, can easily harvest his life.

The young Demon King still remembered that he had manifested himself in this dormitory, but he didn't care about the mouse's prying eyes at that time.That was the scene when the ghost film in Harry Potter's scar had just been absorbed.

"I have to change the mark for my little Angelo." The young devil thought in his heart, the horror of the Dark Mark appearing on the palm of the blond boy, and the contrast with the new mark made him frown.

"The color is changed to gold, the skeleton has to be removed, and the pattern is replaced with..." When Ron's pet mouse couldn't sleep at night, the devil in the ring was also thinking without rest.

"Rose? No, this is not suitable for the little guy. How about thorns?... Mmm. Compared with the palm, another place of the little guy is more suitable for this kind of decoration." The red-eyed man who thought evilly smiled from the corner of his mouth meaning.The blond boy sleeping soundly on the bed felt a chill in his dream for no reason. He shivered and wrapped himself tightly with the quilt.
