"What about that - you guys talk first, I'll pick up Harry and the others." Unable to bear to watch the next Shura field, Ivy quickly slipped out with Betty and Rebel.
"Fortunately, we ran fast." The three of them walked and walked, and Betty acted as a tour guide for Rebel. The beautiful scenery that was different from the modern city made Rebel's eyes wander. Ollie in her arms also looked around curiously.
Watching.
"Call the gods and call the guards!" After arriving at the platform, Ivey summoned the patron saint. Then the silver bull turned into a stream of light and floated towards the castle.
In the castle, the trio had just finished a meal and were eating in the courtyard. Suddenly, a streak of light fell in front of them and turned into a silver cow.
"Hello, everyone" came out in human words
"Ivy! Are you back to school?" Hermione said in surprise
"No, my mother and the others came to Hogsmeade to visit old friends. Do you want to come?"
"Now?"
"Yes, we are already here. If you want to come, I will pick you up at the platform."
"Okay, we'll be there soon." Ron was very excited for some reason.
"Okay, come on, I'll be waiting." After saying that, Yinniu disintegrated.
"Let's go" Ron greeted eagerly
"Do you want to bring a map?" Harry asked
"Forget it, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future, let's talk about it next time."
Harry nodded. Then, the trio quickly rushed to the platform.
"Wizards also need to take the train? I thought you had more convenient transportation," Rebellious commented to the station.
"This is for students. There are many ways for adult wizards to choose from. Such as portkeys, Apparition spells, flying brooms and the Floo powder you just used. If you include the dark wizards, there are many tricks.
That’s more.” Avi Kopp said.
"That's it~ but the air here is pretty good."
"This is London too. How can it be better? It's because you have stayed in the city for too long."
"Are those pieces of rags floating above the dementors? They don't look scary."
"When they get close, you will know how scary they are. These things are as scary as MI6 agents."
"By the way, I didn't see any strange creatures along the way." Rebellious was quite disappointed with this, after all, it was not easy to come here.
"Can you see wild animals in Muggle cities? It's the same here, except for forests and inaccessible remote areas, there are only some pets." Ivy explained patiently, "Look at the forest over there, that's the school.
A restricted area. There are centaurs, werewolves, giant spiders, hippogriffs, unicorns, etc., a lot of magical animals."
"Unicorn!" Rebel's eyes lit up, "The kind in fairy tales."
"Yeah, exactly the same, very beautiful."
"Meow~" Best yawned boredly while listening to the conversation between the two.
"They are coming" Betty suddenly said
I saw a black dot floating slowly in the distant sky.
"Ivy~Betty~" Harry in the front row waved to the two of them.
Seeing this, Ivey took out his magic wand and waved it. The patron saint rushed forward and surrounded the three of them.
Wait until they land smoothly
"It's overloaded, Harry." I saw three people sitting neatly on the broom. This is also the reason why the broom flies slowly.
"Look! Firebolt" Harry showed off to him. Who made him unwilling to borrow money in the first place?
"Who gave you such an expensive thing?" Betty asked curiously. Does she know how valuable this broom is?
"We're guessing it could be Sirius," Hermione replied.
"Yeah~ It's indeed possible. Let's go and talk while walking."
Several people immediately set off back to the bar
"How about lunch?"
"It's very rich. It would be better if Professor Trelawney wasn't making blind predictions."
“The village is so deserted”
"Everyone is eating. There will be more people in the afternoon."
Arrive at the bar. The atmosphere here has returned to normal, and three ladies are sitting at the bar chatting.
"Here we come." Seeing them coming in, Irene greeted.
"Mrs. Irene, Mrs. Wendy, Ms. Rosmerta, Merry Christmas!" Iron Triangle offered its blessings
"I'm just in time. All orders are free today. You can drink whatever you want!" The old friends reunited, and the landlady was in a good mood.
....
"So you are going to help Hagrid write a defense."
The bar was divided into two groups, the adult group and the children's group. We don't know what the adult group was talking about, but little Ollie's childish laughter was occasionally heard. Ivy just talked about Hagrid's recent situation.
"We have to do something to help him, or Buckbeak will be killed," Hermione said.
"Just die." Ivy didn't care about this at all. "If a tiger in a zoo in the Muggle world bites a tourist, it will be euthanized. That's how it is in a human-centered world. Hagrid's escape is all the work of Dumbledore and I."
The result.”
"But we are friends. Even if we don't help Buckbeak, we still have to help Hagrid."
"But Hermione, have you ever thought about it, Hagrid is not a eloquent person. No matter how good your copywriting is, it will be useless if he can't express it." Betty interjected.
"Actually, it's useless if Hagrid shows up. No matter what the reason is, Buckbeak did hurt Malfoy. Remember Norbert, what do you think would have happened if Norbert had bitten someone else instead of you?
What's the outcome? Not everyone is like you and always acts like a good guy. It's understandable that others should be held accountable when they are hurt. So executing it is very logically justified, and even Dumbledore wouldn't be able to intervene."
"I think we should help," Ron suddenly said. "Think about it, if Buckbeak is executed, will Hagrid find us such interesting animals in the future? Do you all want to feed Flobber caterpillars in the future?
?”
"Yes! Yes! This is not only for Hagrid, but also for ourselves." Hermione immediately agreed.
Ivy and Betty looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
"Actually, there is a solution." Ivey thought for a moment.
"How to say?"
"Just let Buckbeak live"
"This won't work." Hermione was slightly disappointed. "The beast doesn't even know how to hide."
"Why hide?" Ivey asked.
"How can Bu Zang avoid being hunted by the Ministry of Magic?" Hermione was puzzled.
"It seems you haven't understood the purpose of this dialectic. Do you think it is to execute Buckbeak?"
"What if?"
"This is just a superficial phenomenon. It seems that Lucius is trying to avenge Malfoy, but in fact he is taking advantage of the situation to attack Hagrid and thereby give Dumbledore power. Lucius has always been dissatisfied with Dumbledore being in charge of Hogwarts. What he did
You should remember what happened."
"so?"
"So, Buckbeak has nothing to do with Hagrid after he is released. Lucius will not waste time on a useless magical animal. But this method must be implemented before the dialectical meeting begins. Once the Ministry of Magic makes a verdict, even
Even if Lucius doesn't want to pay attention, the Aurors will continue to hunt him down."
"So simple?"
"It's because you think it's complicated."
After settling Hagrid's matter, they talked about Sirius again.
"Have you got a clue?" Ivy asked Harry.
"The Marauder's Map can help" Harry was very confident in the Marauder's Map
"Is that the one Fred and the others gave you? Do you suspect that Black may have come in through a secret passage?"
"Nine times out of ten"
"But even if you have a map, you may not be able to find him. You don't have to be hiding in the secret passage all the time." Ron asked in doubt.
"Didn't I tell you, that's not an ordinary map. It can show the movements of everyone in Hogwarts in real time."
"Real or false!" Ron looked like he couldn't believe it.
"It's quite convenient. I didn't expect Fred and George to have such abilities," Betty joked.
"It has nothing to do with them." Harry waved his hand. "Thanks to Moony, Padfoot, Prongs and Wormtail."
"..." Harry's words caused the scene to become silent for an instant.
"Um - am I hallucinating? Or did you just speak a foreign language? Are you sure those people you mentioned are people?" Ron was dumbfounded by this series of nouns.
"I'm surprised too, but that's the name on the map." Harry shrugged. "Maybe it's a nickname or something like that. In short, the four of them are the producers of the Marauder's Map."
"Are you sure it's these four names?" Ivey asked with a serious expression.
"Are you sure? What's wrong?" Harry was puzzled.
"Professor Lupin's nickname when he was in school was Moony Face," Betty replied calmly.
"What!" Harry was shocked
"Irene told me that Black is Padfoot, Prongs is your father, and Wormtail should be Peter Pettigrew." Ivy continued.
"No wonder he can come and go freely in the castle. If he can make this map, he must know all the places in Hogwarts." Hermione looked like this.
"It's easy to handle now! It just so happens that Black wants to enter the Gryffindor lounge. If you see him on the map, just wait for him at the door of the lounge. You won't have to look for him everywhere." Ron said happily.
"Why is my father called Prongs?" he wondered.
"Then you have to ask Professor Luping. Maybe he caused it."
"How about we go back and get the map now, and then take the risk?" Ron couldn't wait.
"You left the Marauder's Map in the bedroom!" Ivy shouted in shock.
"Yeah, what's wrong?" Ron said blankly
"That mouse could be Pettigrew! Have you forgotten?" Hermione shouted.
"Fuck!" Harry yelled angrily, got up and rushed back.
"Wait, Harry, it's probably too late now. Let's go back with you." Ivy stopped him.
He stood up and walked to the bar, "Eileen, I'm going back to the castle."
"Go ahead, go ahead -" Irene waved her hand directly without turning her head.
Several people quickly left Hogsmeade, entered the castle through the platform, and went straight to the Gryffindor lounge.
In Harry's bedroom, the Marauder's Map that was supposed to be lying on the bed disappeared. The cage that was originally placed in the corner had been torn into pieces, and Scabbers had disappeared, leaving only fluff and blood on the floor.
"Fuck! I messed up again!" Harry stamped his feet angrily.
"Can't you two idiots be more careful?" Hermione was greatly annoyed by the scene in the bedroom.
Ignoring them and the blood stains all over the floor, Ivey walked to the corner and picked up the scattered fragments of the iron cage. He put them down on the ground and simply pieced together "it was opened from the inside."
This is easy to identify. The fracture is expanding outward.
