[HP Sirius] Sweet Potions

Chapter 043 Suspicious Clouds

The next morning, Ursa woke up suddenly from her sleep.

"Did I wake you up?" Sirius whispered in her ear.

Erza shook her head.She felt her neck ache from staying in the same position, so she turned over and buried her face in Sirius' front.

"What time is it?" she asked muffled.

"Six forty." Sirius replied, "You can still sleep a little longer."

"No, I'm already awake." Ursa took a deep breath, filling her nostrils with the familiar smell of Sirius.She couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth in a contented arc.Then she sat up and stretched.

Sirius also sat up from the sofa.

"When did you come back last night?" He asked, his voice was lazy and hoarse when he just woke up.

"I don't know. It's probably past two o'clock in the morning." Ursa said.

Sirius put his arms around her, "So how is Lisa?"

"She wasn't hurt, just frightened. I think she'll be fine," Ursa said. "Dumbledore said the spell wasn't serious."

"That's great." Sirius looked slightly relieved, "So did she say who attacked her?"

"No." Ursa said with a frown. "She said she didn't see the attacker. The man cast a spell on her suddenly from behind, and she couldn't see the guy's face."

"This is really strange." Sirius also frowned, "Why did that person do this?"

Ursa sighed, "I don't know either. They said that the black magic was not performed very well. If someone with powerful magic power cast that spell, Lisa might not be able to wake up again because of it."

"So it's likely that the students did it?" Sirius raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Probably," Ursa said, "but it's hard for me to imagine... Would any student really want to hurt his classmate? It's terrible. I'd rather believe that the student was just trying to scare Lisa."

Sirius made no comment.He was silent for a while, then jumped up from the sofa, grinned at Ersha, "Going to have breakfast?"

"Okay." Erza replied with a smile.

During the Potions class in the morning, many people asked Ersa about Lisa Baker's situation. Some even nervously asked Ersa if the Death Eaters had infiltrated Hogwarts.

Ursa had to reassure the students, telling them that there was no proof that the Death Eaters did it.

"So one of us used black magic on his classmates?" asked a boy with a pimple on his face.

A burst of buzzing discussions suddenly sounded.

Ersha didn't know how to deal with this situation, so she could only pretend to be calm and tell everyone to stay calm.

"We will investigate who attacked Lisa." She said to the students, and repeated what Dumbledore said at breakfast this morning, "During this period, please strictly abide by the curfew time, and it is best to go out for two days. individual group."

While eating lunch, Ersha suddenly felt someone standing in front of her.She saw a pudgy boy wearing glasses standing in front of her with an uneasy expression.

It took her half a second to recall his name, because he was usually too inconspicuous.She remembered him as a fifth year Hufflepuff.Ursa rarely saw him raise his hand to speak, and his essay grades were mediocre.

"Mr. Stone?" She blinked. "What do you want?"

"Uh..." The boy blushed and said in a cautious tone, "Can I ask you a question?"

"Oh, of course," said Ursa.

"...Is she really all right?" whispered Stone. "I mean Lisa Baker. I heard them say she's got a really bad black magic."

"She's fine," Erza said with a smile.

"Oh." The boy hesitated. "That would be great."

But Ersha keenly noticed that his expression was a little unnatural.The moment he heard that Lisa was fine, he didn't show a relieved expression, but looked even more disturbed.

"Do you know anything, Mr. Stone?" asked Ursa.

"No, I don't know anything." The boy answered immediately, and then pursed his lips.

Even if you don't need to observe Stone's expression, you can tell that he is very nervous just from his slightly raised tone.

Ursa couldn't help but become more suspicious.She always felt that the boy was afraid of something, so she dared not tell Ersa the truth.

She forced herself to say in a very calm tone, "Uh...Mr. Stone, if you see anything, just tell me. I won't let anyone hurt you."

Their conversation successfully attracted the attention of Professor McGonagall.She was sitting on an empty seat away from Ursa.She looked at this side with concern, and seemed to be waiting for Stone's answer.

Stone hesitated for a few seconds, "...I saw it."

"See what?" Ursa whispered.

"I saw who attacked Lisa," he said.

Ersha's heart was beating fast, but she still managed to stay calm, "Who is it?"

"I didn't see his face. He was tall, with black hair and wearing a school robe," Stone said, "but I recognized him from the back."

"Who is he?" Professor McGonagall asked, frowning.

Stone glanced nervously at Professor McGonagall, and stammered a little: "...I think it's Sirius, Sirius Black, Professor."

Ersha's expression froze, and she stared at Stone in disbelief.

"Cirius Black?" Professor McGonagall exclaimed in surprise, "Are you sure?" Her words managed to attract the attention of several other professors who were still eating.

"I think so," Stone whispered.

"That's impossible." Ursa said without hesitation.

Now everyone looked at her.

"You didn't see his face, why are you so sure it's him?" Professor McGonagall asked with a frown.She couldn't seem to believe Sirius did it either.

"I asked the Gryffindor students." Stone's tone became a little firmer, "They all said that Black was not in the dormitory last night, and no one knew where he went. And..." He stopped suddenly Living.

"And what?" asked Professor McGonagall.

"Also, I have seen him bully other students with curses." Stone replied in a low voice.

"What?" Ursa's eyes widened in surprise.

"Well... he did do this kind of thing. To be honest, I've given him a lot of confinement over the years." Professor McGonagall sighed, "But I always thought those were just ordinary pranks. Tell me you Know what, Mr Stone?"

Stone swallowed, "Once he deliberately locked me in the observatory—with the bloody Barrow. I was so scared that I almost fell off the observatory." When he said this, he couldn't help but hit Trembling, "He and his friends are demons, Professor. They have done a lot of bad things, and many students are afraid of them."

Ursa couldn't help but think of what Sirius had said.He said he once accidentally locked Regulus with a boggart.

—but that was just an accident, wasn't it?

Ursa felt that she should trust Sirius.And she's the only one who can further prove that Sirius didn't attack Lisa yesterday.

"It can't be Sirius," she said hoarsely.

"Why do you say that?" Mag turned to look at Ersha seriously.

Ursa took a breath and said with determination: "...because he was in my office last night."

Ursa then had to go to some lengths to convince Professor McGonagall that Sirius had been cramming in her office last night because his grades had been slipping lately.

Under Professor McGonagall's further questioning, Stone also seemed a little confused.He began to express that he wasn't sure if that was Sirius.

"I didn't see his face, Professor." His cheeks were flushed. "So... maybe I was wrong."

Professor McGonagall finally seemed to believe Ersa's words, but she was still a little skeptical.

"We usually don't make up lessons for a certain student alone." Professor McGonagall frowned and said to Ursa, "and you are still very young. In order to avoid unnecessary gossip, please don't do this in the future-you understand me Do you mean, Miss Green?"

Of course Ursa knew what she was referring to.

She nodded with difficulty.Her stomach clenched uncomfortably at the thought that she would have to expose her relationship with Sirius in the future.

"The only question now is," said Professor McGonagall thoughtfully, her brow furrowing even tighter, "who exactly does Mr. Stone take for Sirius Black?"

After lunch, Ersa went to the school hospital first, intending to visit Lisa.

On the way to the school hospital, she bumped into Kathy, who was leaving there.

Kathy looked tired, and the obvious dark circles under her eyes showed that she hadn't slept much last night.

"Go back and have a good rest." Ursa comforted her, "I will accompany Lisa for you. I have no class this afternoon."

"Thank you, Miss Green." Kathy smiled wearily, "but I just locked the gate of the school hospital - Madam Pomfrey asked me to do so. But you can borrow the key from her."

After bidding farewell to Casey, Ursa first went to Madam Pomfrey's office.After borrowing the key, she came to the gate of the school hospital.

An unusual event made her heart skip a beat.

——The door of the school hospital is slightly open.
