While Ryan was writing something, a bottle of butterbeer was placed on the table in front of him. Looking up, Ryan saw Fred looking at him with a smile, and George was throwing toad mints to the crowd.
"You two are really weird, why are you still studying here while everyone is celebrating?" Fred asked.
"It's not because of you two brothers and Harry. Not only do I have to take care of my own affairs, but I also prepare lessons for you three. You need a lot of time to train for the competition. Since we agreed to help you, don't we have to spend more time?
Time preparation will allow you to master as much knowledge as possible in a short period of time. Don’t forget that you will have another competition after this competition, don’t you need to prepare?”
"This is really troublesome for you, thank you!" Fred scratched his head and said. "But you can try butterbeer. It tastes really good and has no alcohol."
After getting almost everything they needed to prepare, Ryan and the others joined in the celebration. It wasn't until one o'clock in the morning that Professor McGonagall, wearing a plaid dressing gown and a hairnet, came to the scene and insisted that everyone go to bed.
, then the Gryffindor house party came to an end.
After everyone went to bed, Ryan sneaked out of the dormitory into the common room, and then chose the corner behind the sofa to start meditating.
Because he knew that Black was likely to attack tonight, he planned to wait for Black here.
After meditating for more than an hour, a slight friction sound came from the entrance. Then a figure came in from the entrance.
The moonlight shone on the man's face through the window of the common room, and Ryan saw a body as thin as a skeleton. There was a big mess of hair on his head, and he looked very dirty. The most important thing was
Holding a knife in his hand.
It seemed that Sirius Black had been having a bad life recently. After confirming that Black did not have a wand, Ryan activated the Purple Cloud Magic and jumped out from behind the sofa.
"...Who is it?" Before you could say a word, Blake suddenly rushed forward and raised his right hand, then turned the knife in his hand and tried to knock Ryan unconscious with the handle of the knife.
It seems that at least Black is not a bad guy, and he will remember not to accidentally hurt innocent people at this time. While thinking about Ryan dodging Sirius's attack, he then hit the acupuncture point on the back of his neck. Maybe it was because of the long time running.
In addition, hunger consumed his physical strength, and Blake was unable to avoid the blow.
He fell directly to the ground. Fortunately, the thick carpet on the ground absorbed the sound of him falling to the ground. After the muffled sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, the common room was still quiet.
Ryan took out an enchanted rope and tied it to Blake, then pointed at him with a wand and said: "Resume quickly." It was obvious that the spell woke Blake up, but he still pretended to be comatose and tried to fight back.
"Mr. Black, there is no need for you to pretend to be unconscious. As Harry's friend, I have to ask you something. Can you tell me why you want to kill Harry?"
"No, I didn't." Sirius's eyes widened suddenly, and then the veins on his hands bulged. "I came to kill that bastard, and that bastard is still alive! I want to kill him! Kill him!
"
Sirius was excited and incoherent, but he didn't want to wake up the others, so he kept his voice as low as possible even if he roared.
After being excited for a while, Sirius calmed down and looked at Ryan: "You should be Ryan Liang, right? Can you tell me why you think I might not be the murderer."
"Wait, how do you know who I am?" Ryan remembered that he didn't introduce himself at all.
"I picked up a lot of scrap newspapers in Hogsmeade, and in them there were photos of you receiving the Order of Merlin, Second Class. To be honest, your Asian face is so recognisable, you are the only one in Gryffin.
Asian boys.”
"Then why do you think I don't think you are the murderer?"
"Because you were merciful just now and didn't go out to call anyone."
Sure enough, he was still inexperienced, so Ryan simply half-truthed: "Since you have read about me in the newspaper, you should know that I am a marrow wizard. I sometimes read a lot of information about the magical world to understand the world, and
Your case is in the old newspapers I read. From my point of view in the Muggle world, there are too many doubts in a case like yours where you are sentenced directly without trial."
"Besides, I learned from Hagrid that you gave Harry to Hagrid after his parents were killed. If you really wanted to kill Harry, you would have done it right then. So when I found out that you came in, my first reaction was to think
Let me ask you what are you here for?" Ryan told Sirius the reason he had thought up before.
"You are very courageous and worthy of being a Gryffindor." Sirius glanced at Ryan and said, "Yes, I am Harry's godfather. His father and I are like brothers. I will never hurt him.
"What I want to kill is Peter Pettigrew, the real traitor back then. It was all because of me that he had the opportunity to betray the Potters to Voldemort. I came out to look for him just because I saw him in the newspaper."
Sirius said in a hoarse voice.
"Of course I'm also very lucky. When I arrived at the door today, I found a piece of paper with the pass code for a whole week on it. That's why I was able to get in smoothly."
"Is Neville cursed? Even if there was no Crookshanks, he would have thrown something from him." Ryan thought, "Maybe there was some confusion when everyone entered during the celebration today, so Neville threw his note."
Already."
Ryan was thinking about these things when he saw Sirius staring at him. So he opened his mouth and said the news that shocked him: "The Scabbers you are talking about is now missing a finger on his front paw.
mouse?"
"You, how did you know?" Sirius looked at Ryan in surprise.
"You just said you could see him in the newspaper, but theoretically he should be dead and cannot appear in the newspaper. So the only explanation is that he didn't look human when he appeared, so he could be hidden in Gryffindor
The only pets in the tower that might be disguised as someone are the owls in the school. All the owls go to the owl room. The only suspicious pet among the remaining pets is Scabbers, his pet that Ron asked me to take care of. He can live several times the lifespan of a normal mouse.
Ordinary house rats, this year have inexplicably started to be in a very bad state." If he knew the results and reversed the reasoning process, it would be very simple, but Sirius, who didn't know this, was obviously shocked.
"Smart young man, I even doubt whether you should be assigned to Ravenclaw. You just said that Peter Pettigrew is at your place, take him out quickly and let me kill him." Sirius said excitedly.
