The Handsome Dark Lord[Comprehensive]

Hogwarts was bombarded with heavy news from Azkaban early in the morning.

The breakfast had just started, and the students were still waking up sleepily in the lobby. The industrious owls had delivered the overnight revised version of the Daily Prophet.The first person to open the newspaper screamed, and as more and more people read the newspaper, the news of Azkaban's attack spread rapidly throughout Hogwarts.The long tables of the four colleges were buzzing and discussing noises.

"They used a picture of the Dark Mark!" said one Gryffindor angrily. "It was taken more than ten years ago. It's a fraud!"

"The Daily Prophet is just trying to make a big show. Take it easy, man," his buddy reassured.

A stern voice interrupted them quickly and sharply.

"Don't they know how much panic this kind of photo can cause?"

The two turned their heads and saw the passing brunette girl glaring at them aggressively.

"Hey, Hermione, we didn't put the picture up, OK?" The partner raised his hand, surrendering, "And I think it's too much."

After getting a satisfactory answer, Hermione restrained her anger reluctantly, found her seat and sat down.Ron looked around cautiously, and whispered, "Harry hasn't come back yet."

Hermione's eyes immediately widened again.Ron shrank his neck reflexively, and quickly explained: "Yesterday afternoon, he handed in the History of Magic exam ahead of schedule and disappeared until this morning. But he mentioned that he had an appointment with Roald. I guess he was in a hurry. There is a great possibility to spend the spring night with my lover!"

Hermione's half-opened mouth was stuck, and it took a while before she said, "That's too reckless!"

"Totally agree!" Ron breathed a sigh of relief as if he had passed through a crisis, "I'm not coming back now, and I don't know if I can make it to the OWLs after-examination party at noon."

Hermione took her own newspaper to read in annoyance, and only hurriedly scanned the headlines before calling out: "No! Harry went to Azkaban!"

The subheadline in the newspaper reads impressively:

Dumbledore and the Savior appeared at the scene of the attack one after another. Did they accept orders in the face of danger or did they premeditate?

Ron hurried over and scanned the entire text with her as quickly as possible.

The two were once again shocked by the shamelessness of the Daily Prophet.

"They actually suspect that Dumbledore and Harry planned this attack!" Hermione was so angry that her voice trembled slightly, "They obviously used the photo of the Dark Mark, so they don't know who did it!"

Ron swallowed, trying to find some comfort: "That's just an unreliable guess, isn't it? It's mainly that Dumbledore and the Ministry of Magic cooperated to prevent more than half of the dark wizards from escaping from prison."

Hermione was not so optimistic, but they were more concerned about Harry, who had not returned so far, and did not discuss more.The brunette girl asked Harry for details before he left.

"Malfoy was the first to hand in the paper," Hermione grasped the point, "Could Harry have followed him?"

Ron took a bite out of the tortilla, he was starving.Followed Hermione to look at the long table of Slytherin, and soon found the familiar and annoying light golden head.

"Shit, he's here." Ron cursed.

Despite her displeasure at Ron's rudeness, Hermione clearly thought so too.

She also noticed that Malfoy seemed to be getting extra attention from the Slytherins today - he was obviously very proud of it, holding his fork ten times more pretentiously than usual.

"Let's finish eating as soon as possible, and try to find a way to ask him."

The two began to bury their heads, and Harry made it back just in time before they went to Malfoy's trouble.

"Harry! Where have you been?"

As expected, he was immediately questioned by Hermione.

Panting heavily, Harry snatched Ron's pumpkin porridge and took a gulp to soothe his smoky throat.

"I went to see Tom, sorry, just got back now."

After Harry finished speaking, he found that the two friends did not have the familiar teasing expression, so he couldn't help scratching his head.

"Uh, are you worried?"

Ron glanced at Hermione and gloated, "If you can read today's Daily Prophet."

Harry didn't expect that the fact that he went to the battlefield without authorization had been made known by the Daily Prophet. Not only that, the article also criticized his recklessness, thinking that the savior had risked his life to prove the fantasy of the Dark Lord's resurrection , the author of the article suspects that he has mental problems.

While he was reading the newspaper, Hermione had finished her breakfast and was sitting across from her with her breasts folded, staring at him.Harry had a vague feeling that Hermione agreed with the Daily Prophet's criticism of him... Given their friendship, at least the last sentence could be removed, he thought optimistically.

"Uh, dude, I think it's better for you to read less of these reports." Ron politely took the newspaper away and returned it to Hermione.

"It's not the first time." Harry exhaled, and had to admit that his chest was still tight, "However, the Ministry of Magic can't pass the blame on to others this time."

Hermione picked up the newspaper with a serious expression, her eyes were still on Harry, and she seemed to have a lot of things to teach him, and finally she reluctantly obeyed Harry's topic, and her eyes returned to the Azkaban report.

"I noticed that the prison escapes of Death Eaters were not counted in the article." She frowned, obviously thinking that this was extremely important. "The Ministry of Magic must have interfered with the content of this report. They were afraid that the public would associate it with You-Know-Who."

"But it's too conspicuous, isn't it?" Ron finally finished his last mouthful of porridge, "The mysterious man was resurrected last year, and this year the prison where a large number of Death Eaters were held was attacked."

Hermione said worriedly: "Nowadays, there are not as many people who believe in the resurrection of the mysterious man as there are people eating at this table."

Harry asked strangely: "What's going on? The Dark Mark is all here."

He pointed to the picture on the newspaper, and Hermione was aroused again: "That's a picture from more than ten years ago! Those bastards of the Daily Prophet will make gimmicks to attract attention, and it really involves Death Eaters The content is too important to ignore, and I dare not say anything!"

Harry obviously didn't notice the fine print under the photo, and was surprised at this moment: "Ten years ago...why? Someone really released the Dark Mark yesterday!"

Hermione and Ron froze, Harry looked at them in disbelief, then reacted, gritted his teeth and said, "These cowards!"

"How long are they going to lie to themselves!" even Ron wailed.

The Daily Prophet article completely ruined Harry's good mood.They decided to go for a walk on the meadow outside the castle to relax after the exam, and then come to the OWLs after-examination party for the fifth-year students at noon.

Harry told them about the Azkaban attack he had seen yesterday afternoon following Malfoy.

"I knew he was an evil Death Eater!" said Ron indignantly.

Hermione's focus was different: "You-Know-Who took the Dementor and disappeared?"

Harry nodded, uncertain: "I don't know where he went, he disappeared as soon as he turned his head. Maybe he went straight into Azkaban."

Hermione said, "Dumbledore must know if he's in there or not."

"...Sirius should know too," said Harry awkwardly.He touched the double-sided mirror in his bag, and couldn't help but began to worry about the godfather's safety.The Daily Prophet wouldn't detail the casualties of every single combatant, let alone Sirius, who was a fugitive.

He suggested to Hermione and Ron to go to the Room of Requirement to confirm the godfather's safety, and they immediately agreed.Harry was still wearing the Invisibility Cloak, so he just took it out of his bag and put it on, and followed Ron and Hermione as a cover according to the method he used to secretly detect Filch last time—

Ever since Dumbledore's Army was unmasked, that corridor has been under tight surveillance.The two partners without the cloak were going to wait for him at the corner of the stairs.

Harry sneaked into the Room of Requirement by himself, and then he took out the double-sided mirror from his backpack and scraped it regularly.

"Sirius?"

The other end of the mirror was completely dark, Harry had rarely seen it like this, and was worried that Sirius would not be able to respond, when the sunken cheek of the godfather appeared in the mirror in an instant.

"Harry, you finally appeared!" Sirius worried. "Lupine said that you apparated to deal with the dark wizard alone. I have been worried about you. The two-way mirror has not moved... Thank God you are all right!"

Harry felt warm inside. "I'm fine, Sirius. Are you okay?"

Sirius laughed: "Great! It's been a long time since I fought so happily! By the way, I have good news for you. Dumbledore may resume his position as headmaster!"

Harry's eyes lit up: "Really?"

"Of course! Dumbledore warned the Ministry of Magic to strengthen Azkaban's defenses before. This time, thanks to the timely arrival of the Order of the Phoenix, Fudge would have taken the blame and resigned."

Is it not enough for him to take the blame and resign?Harry thought regretfully. "Great, I won't have to see that pink toad~toad next semester."

Sirius was also happy for him.They chatted briefly for a few words before they had to end the conversation temporarily.A battle has just ended, and there are a lot of things waiting for the Order of the Phoenix to do, even if the scope of activities is basically limited to Sirius in Grimmauld Square.

Harry couldn't keep his friends waiting too long, he hurriedly told him to take a break and left the Room of Requirement.

Ron and Hermione had been waiting outside for a long time, and there was still a lot of time before the carnival after the exam. They decided to go to the rooftop at the top of the tower to share Harry's secrets.

Walking on the road, Ron asked casually, "Where did you get your bag, Harry?"

The answer to this question brightened Harry's mood: "Boyfriend."

"Did you still have time to see Roald last night?" Ron stared at him in awe, thinking of many things in his head at once, "...and stayed until this morning."

The meaningful tone made Harry's face burn, especially when he recalled how he woke up this morning, the blood ran up uncontrollably.

"Harry, your ears are... very red." Hermione tried to look serious, but the suspicious pause gave her away.

"It's not what you think!" After saying this, Harry knew that he would be seen as a cover-up again...not the first time anyway.He thought to himself, recalling everything he experienced last night, his clamoring blood suddenly fell silent.

Ron and Hermione also noticed his change, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"

Harry collected his thoughts, and curled his lips: "Actually... it's good news. Tom knows my wizard status."

Hermione and Ron exchanged an unexpected look.Ron gave a soft "wow" and said expectantly, "He accepted?"

Harry nodded happily.Hermione showed a relieved smile: "This is really great news, Harry."

There was still some time left on their way to the rooftop, and Harry decided to use this time to briefly talk about what happened last night.

"Merlin! He actually beat a dark wizard!" exclaimed Ron. "A Muggle! That's... just... pretty cool!"

Harry smiled coyly as if he was being praised: "He's really brave, isn't he?"

Ron imagined it for a while, and still felt incredible: "How is it possible? How did he do it? With that... Muggle pistol?"

"Muggles do have some very powerful things." Harry recalled the embarrassment he encountered yesterday, and took out his mobile phone to show them. "I was just about to recommend it to you, Ron, Hermione. Buy a mobile phone, right away It's a holiday, we really need a more convenient and quicker way of contact than owls."

Ron rubbed his nose, looking uninterested, but he said, "Yeah. My dad can probably get one... but he's been transferred to the Auror Division now, so I'm not sure..."

Harry didn't think it was a problem, he just asked his boyfriend for two more... of course, he would pay for it this time.

Hermione seemed to be a little silent, and didn't hesitate to speak until they walked to the rooftop and confirmed that the conversation was safe.

"Harry... I don't want to hit you, but Roald makes me feel weird."

Harry's smile narrowed: "What?"

Ron looked at her somewhat complainingly, but Hermione decided to ignore it.

"He's receptive really quickly." Ron looked like he was going to cut in, but Hermione spoke faster, "It's not a problem though. I'm thinking he doesn't seem to have any real emotions." She looked quickly Glancing at Harry, he kept his eyes on the bricks and stones under his feet, "Surprise, fear, doubt... he didn't have any emotions, so he accepted it?"

Ron said: "Roald is not young. I think he is calm."

Hermione's voice dropped, "But my parents were at least full of curiosity when they first learned about magic. But Roald..." She obviously didn't hear any curiosity from Harry's narration.

Harry frowned, lost in thought.Ron thought for a while and said, "But Roald confronted the dark wizard when he came up. I guess magic didn't make a good impression on him... Does it make sense if he is not curious?"

"The situation this time is really special, and Harry was unconscious again at the critical moment... I just care about it. Roald's reaction..." She felt faintly uneasy, but couldn't find any substantive problems, so she could only sigh "Actually, it would be a good thing if he really hid some power. After all, a large number of dark wizards escaped from Azkaban—more than half of them were Death Eaters. If Roald was just a Muggle..." She didn't go on, the danger in it was self-evident.

After all, at this juncture, she wasn't sure if it was a good thing for Harry to sink deeper and deeper.

The green light of the Death Curse appeared in front of Harry again, he couldn't help showing a trace of sadness, and said in a low voice, "You're right."

His expression and words made Hermione blame herself so much, she opened her mouth, wishing to swallow back the previous words.

"But I promised Tom." Harry raised his eyes, green pupils shining with a crystal gleam, "We will be together, Hermione. I made it up last night, as long as he is willing to accept, I will I'll do everything I can to hug him."

These words left his two friends a little speechless.After a while, Ron said with emotion: "I didn't expect you to have the qualifications of a lover. But it's useless to tell us." He winked at Hermione suggestively.

Hermione was not in the mood to respond to his teasing, and looked at Harry with self-blame and worry, her eyes almost distressed.

Harry said: "Don't worry, Hermione. I also think that it is really necessary to verify Tom's magic power. The result of nothing last time is very strange. Maybe... I can bring him to the wizarding world next time, so that he will be able to get rid of it." See for yourself."

Hermione thought for a moment, then immediately agreed that this was a good idea.Ron felt throughout that she was making a fuss out of a molehill, but was pleased with the outcome.

The mood of the three relaxed for a while, and Harry shared the good news brought by Sirius with them.There's nothing more exciting than the return of Dumbledore.When they came down from the rooftop and headed to the OWLs after-examination party, they finally got rid of the haze of some dark wizards breaking out in large numbers, and they were able to happily discuss the Quidditch match that will be held in the last week.

It's a pity that their joy didn't last long, Sirius was obviously too optimistic.Things didn't go well for Dumbledore's return to school.

Instead of reflecting on the lack of Azkaban's defense force, the Ministry of Magic tried its best to discredit Dumbledore's early warning behavior in the newspapers, suspecting that the other party participated in the planning of the Azkaban attack and at least knew part of the inside story, so Only in the attack incident can they show off, in order to save their reputation.

Harry once again felt the distorted black and white of the Daily Prophet, and he had decided not to read any of their articles, and tried to find a replacement.
