Bandits are a magical profession. They need to find a balance between completing their goals (robbery) and survival (not being killed by the army). To this end, the bandits have a countermeasure: between the two administrative regions
Falling grass is a bandit.
Sirius, who was born in the Black family, a pure-blood family, had definitely never come into contact with bandits, but when faced with the pursuit of the Ministry of Magic, he adopted the same strategy as the bandits: running to a place where no one cares. This place should be close enough to Harry, but also
To escape the pursuit of the Ministry of Magic, Sirius thought about it and felt that there was only one place that met the requirements - the Shrieking Shack in Hogsmeade.
These days, Sirius has been hiding in the Shrieking Shack, treating it as his base camp.
This cabin was originally a "safe house" prepared by Dumbledore for Lupine. Whenever the full moon night came, Lupine would come here to complete his werewolf transformation. It has been vacant for many years and the reputation of the haunted house has spread to everyone.
This house is kept at a distance, and tourists will not enter this house. At most, they will look at the fence. This makes the long-abandoned Shrieking Shack an excellent hiding place.
At least Sirius didn't have to worry about being accidentally seen while taking a nap one day.
Of course, being inaccessible is not the biggest advantage of the Shrieking Shack. Sirius chose to stay here because this house connects Hogwarts and Hogsmeade. Sirius can use the Shrieking Shack as the center while searching
It's an opportunity to get close to Peter while getting supplies from Hogsmeade. You can also sneak into Hogwarts when being searched by dementors. It's really perfect.
Moreover, no matter how shabby the Shrieking Shack is, it is still a house. Living in a house is much more comfortable than sleeping in the wild. The temperature has dropped sharply recently, and Sirius has also retreated into the Shrieking Shack, doing nothing in the house.
He fell asleep, thinking about how to torture Peter Pettigrew.
But today seemed a little different. There was blood outside the window again, and there was some noise at the same time. Sirius saw a young couple coming outside through the cracks in the wooden boards that sealed the window. They seemed to want to enter the Shrieking Shack for some excitement.
.
Sirius didn't care about this. He felt that these two people should not have the courage to enter the house and explore. But what happened next was a bit unexpected.
Several boys had conflicts with them.
From the appearance and tone of the man in the territory, Sirius smelled something familiar.
"This golden-haired bunny always smells like the Malfoy family." Draco Malfoy's behavior and appearance reminded Black of many past events.
Then came the conflict, its aftermath, and Harry's sudden appearance.
The moment he saw Harry, Sirius felt like his heart was being pinched. He was so excited that he couldn't breathe for a moment, and it seemed like all the blood in his body was rushing to his brain. This was not the first time he saw Harry.
Li, but the excitement was still the same as when I saw him for the first time.
After Sirius escaped from Azkaban, he immediately went to Privet Drive in Surrey just to take a look at Harry from a distance.
His goal was achieved, but there was a little accident...
Sirius was so excited after seeing Harry that he couldn't control himself. He ran too close and Harry saw him, which seemed to startle him. This made Sirius restrain himself.
some of their own behaviors.
After saying goodbye to Privet Drive, Harry headed to Diagon Alley, while Sirius headed to Hogwarts ahead of Harry.
But when he heard that Harry was the Seeker of the Gryffindor team, he couldn't hold back his thoughts and ran to the Quidditch field at Hogwarts to watch a Quidditch game in which Harry participated.
Dizzy game. Although it was raining heavily, Sirius could still see that Harry was flying very well, exactly like his father, which made Sirius very happy. Looking at Harry's flying form, he once saw James
Tom's shadow.
As for the trouble he caused to Harry when he appeared several times, Sirius didn't know. Sirius never imagined that he just wanted to see his godson, but he actually left such a huge trouble for Harry.
Psychological shadow.
Looking at Harry, Sirius' eyes gradually became fonder. However, as he looked at it, he realized that something was not quite right in the atmosphere below.
Sirius hurriedly ran outside the house, and Harry saw him within a few seconds of going out.
Harry saw a dark shadow in his peripheral vision. He turned his head and saw a large, shaggy dog staring directly at him.
He got chills for a moment. But he quickly realized that this seemed to be a good opportunity! A good opportunity to solve the "ominous" problem in one fell swoop! Tom was here, Hermione was here. Harry felt that Hogwarts
Among the students, the two of them are the most reliable students at the same level.
With them here, maybe we can try to explore the ominous truth? See what its true face is.
So he threw down his invisibility cloak and ran to the barbed wire fence in three steps and two steps. With a sudden jump, the barbed wire cut his palm, but he didn't realize it. He rushed towards the direction where the big dog disappeared.
past.
Tom was about to follow, but he saw a yellow shadow in the snow. He bent down and picked it up, and it was just as he thought, it was an ordinary piece of parchment.
Tom put the parchment into his pocket and took the invisibility cloak with him.
"Hurry!" Hermione had already run to the fence and took out her wand: "Split it into pieces!"
The barbed wire fence snapped and a big hole was opened, and she and Tom got in together.
From Sirius's perspective, things were a little weird: his dear godson Harry ran over excitedly after seeing him. Unfortunately, his expression was a bit ferocious, not quite like what a godfather and godson should have when they reunite.
appearance.
Sirius didn't react for a moment, but having been wanted by the Ministry of Magic for a long time, he was already frightened, and he instinctively reacted: run away. So he turned back to the Shrieking Shack.
All entrances outside the Shrieking Shack were sealed. There was only a small gap left, just big enough for Sirius to squeeze in.
Not long after he got in, there was an explosion behind him. A gap was opened in the wall, and Tom and the three got in.
Sirius cursed in his mind and continued to run away. It was not that he was afraid of the young wizards, but that he was worried that he would accidentally hurt Harry.
"Accidental injury" was only a superficial reason. Sirius had another reason hidden in his heart that he did not dare to face directly, and that was guilt.
Yes, guilty.
He has always felt guilty towards Harry. He always felt that it was his mistake that caused little Harry to lose his parents. If he had not been smart enough to change the secret keeper, maybe James and his wife would not have been betrayed by the traitor, and they would not have been betrayed by the traitor.
Will die...
This emotion had been buried deep in Sirius's heart and had never been revealed. This also made him afraid to show up and meet Harry.
Sirius crossed the stairs vigorously, rushed to the secret passage, and dived in.
"It's safe." This was the first thought that came to his mind. At the end of the secret passage is the Whomping Willow, which is enough to stop these three little wizards. It's just a pity that this house can't be lived in. It's so cold.
God, where should I go?
…
"Are you a wizard?" Hermione pulled Harry away from the edge of the gap, and then split the wooden board into four pieces, revealing the room inside.
The three of them rushed into the house, and what they saw was a messy, gray living room. The wallpaper on the living room had peeled off, and the floor was covered with thick stains and the remains of furniture. There was almost no light in the room - the windows were all covered with boards.
It was sealed, and only a few rays of light came out from the gaps in the wooden boards.
But the big dog had disappeared. There was only the sound of three people panting in the room.
"Look here!" Hermione said, pointing to a series of footprints on the ground, "the traces of the dog's claws, it went here."
The three of them followed the dog's footprints and finally saw the entrance to the tunnel. Harry couldn't wait any longer. He took the lead, jumped in, ran down a steep slope, turned a corner, and ran a few steps.
I saw an exit that looked like a tree hole.
But when he got out of the tree hole, he only felt that he was hit hard on the face, which made his eyes black and his nose sore.
Harry rolled down from the tree hole.
"Are you okay?" Tom helped him in time.
"It's okay..." Harry responded dazedly, feeling a stream of heat on his nose at the same time.
"You've got a nosebleed!" Hermione screamed.
"I'm fine... I caught Ominous..." Harry said weakly as he lay in Tom's arms.
"We need to take him to Madam Pomfrey," Hermione said anxiously, taking out her handkerchief and trying to stop Harry's bleeding, but with little success.
"The bridge of his nose may be broken, and he may have a concussion." Hermione made a preliminary judgment.
"Okay." Tom immediately took action and ran towards the tree hole-shaped exit.
"What are you going to do?" Hermione grabbed Tom. "Do you want to be like him?"
"Don't worry, we are now under the Whomping Willow in the Forbidden Forest." Tom threw Hermione away, ran to the tree hole, and rushed out.
As soon as he came out of the tree hole, he felt a strong wind coming. He immediately transformed into a phoenix and avoided a branch falling from the sky. Then while avoiding the attack of the branch, he scanned the situation around the tree hole. Very quickly
Quickly, a conspicuous knot appeared in his field of vision.
He swooped up to the knot, poked the knot with his beak, and the furious Whomping Willow suddenly became quiet.
He returned to the cave entrance and pulled Harry and Hermione out together.
Tom saw that Harry was not in good condition, so he and Hermione helped Harry to the school hospital.
Madam Pomfrey in the school hospital is an extremely clever doctor. She stopped Harry's nosebleeds with just a wave of her wand, and also gave him a tranquilizing potion. After Harry drank it, he fell into a trance.
Deep sleep.
Tom and Hermione left the campus hospital after staying for a while, allowing the place to regain its tranquility. In the entire hospital ward, Harry was the only one sleeping - as for Peggy, who had lived here for a long time before,
She was transferred to St. Mungo's for further treatment. Many doctors asserted that the chance of the little girl waking up was extremely slim.
The ward was quiet. Suddenly, a window was opened. The big black dog got in through the window.
It stared at Harry with extremely complicated emotions in its eyes.
"Collapse!" Suddenly, a voice came from behind it. Sirius twisted as hard as he could to avoid the sudden curse.
Immediately afterwards, he felt his body sink, and a young man took the opportunity to press on him.
"Sirius, let's capture him without mercy!" The words he shouted made Sirius break into a cold sweat.
How did he know my name? How did he know I could turn into a black dog? Sirius's mind was filled with questions. But now was not a good time to think about it. Sirius could feel a chill on the back of his neck. He knew it was the top of the wand.
Caught his neck.
He had no choice but to raise his hands and surrender.
"Change back to human form." The voice spoke again.
Sirius was silent for a moment and released his Animagus transformation.
The person on Sirius's back was naturally Tom. He had just pretended to leave, but in fact he was hiding in the ward wearing an invisibility cloak, waiting for Sirius to take the bait.
Tom was sure that Sirius Black, who accidentally injured his godson, would sneak into the ward to make sure that Harry was okay. So he just waited and waited.
Soon, a skeleton-like man appeared in front of Tom.
But before Tom could take a closer look at him, Tom felt a huge force coming from under his knees, knocking him to the ground. Sirius stood up from the ground, threw Tom off his back, and turned around.
He picked up a chair next to the hospital bed and tried to knock Tom down, but when he turned his head, what he saw was a yellow snake eye.
Sirius' head buzzed, his body stiffened, and he almost fell down. This time, his movements became stiff, and Tom seized the opportunity.
"Petrify them all!" Tom was lying on the ground, but his petrification spell hit Sirius accurately. Tom watched Sirius fall straight to the ground with a look of disbelief on his face.
Tom, who had subdued Sirius, breathed a sigh of relief. Panting, he picked up the chair that Sirius had grabbed and sat on it.
After a while, he adjusted his breath, turned into a phoenix, and flew out of the window with Sirius.
Sirius, who was caught in the claws, showed a shocked expression: the young wizard just turned into a phoenix in front of his eyes!
He felt that his three views had been subverted, and he couldn't even believe his eyes.
In a state of confusion, Tom flew Sirius to the edge of the Forbidden Forest and threw him to the ground. Sirius knew that he was about to face the judgment of his fate.
