Chapter 177: An Uneasy Journey
Muggles were told that Black was carrying a gun (a metal wand that Muggles used to kill each other), and people in the wizarding world were always worried that the massacre a year ago would happen again, when Black once killed someone with a spell. Thirteen lives were lost.
Harry stared at Black's blurred eyes, the only eyes in that sunken face that seemed a little angry. Harry had never met a vampire, but he had seen pictures of them in Defense Against the Dark Arts classes, and Black, with his waxy white skin, looked like a vampire.
"He looks scary, doesn't he?" Sampac said. He had been watching Harry while he read the newspaper. "Has he killed thirteen people?" Harry said, handing the newspaper back to Sampac. "Kill with just one spell?"
Fan Lin also focused his attention, and he also wanted to know what happened back then.
"Yes," said Sampac. "In front of witnesses. In broad daylight. Caused a lot of trouble, Ern, didn't it?"
"Hmm," said Ern gloomily.
Sampac shifted around in his armchair and put his hands on the back to get a better look at Harry. "Blake is rooting for You-Know-Who."
"What? Voldemort?" Harry said without thinking.
Even Sampac's pimples turned white; Ern turned the wheel so fast that the whole farm had to jump aside to avoid the car. "Are you crazy?" shouted Sampac. "Why did you mention his name on purpose?"
"I'm sorry," Harry apologized immediately, "I'm sorry, I - I forgot -"
"Forgot!" Sampac said weakly, "Oh, my heart is beating so fast..."
"So - so, Black is a supporter of You-Know-Who?" Harry said hurriedly.
"Yes," said Sampac, still touching his chest, "yes, that's right. The relationship with You-Know-Who is very close, that's what they say... Anyway, when young Harry Potter When you are about to be killed by a mysterious person——"
Harry pulled his hair back from his forehead nervously.
"All supporters of You-Know-Who are being hunted, aren't they, Ern? Most of these people know that now that You-Know-Who has escaped, they're doomed, so they're all being honest. Not so Sirius Black. I hear To say he thinks You-Know-Who will be in power one day is number two.”
"Anyway, they cornered Black on the street, which was still full of Muggles. Black took out his wand and blew up half the street. One wizard was killed, and twelve Muggles were killed. Dead. Horrible, isn't it? Do you know what Blake did next?" whispered Sampak dramatically.
"What?" said Harry.
"Laughing," said Stan. "Just standing there laughing. When reinforcements from the Ministry of Magic arrived, he followed them quietly, still laughing all the way. Of course he was crazy, Ern , isn’t he crazy?”
Fan Lin curled his lips. He didn't believe what Sampac said. A magic spell blew up half the street or something, and the male wizard he killed was, as expected, Peter Pettigrew, but he was not dead...
"If he wasn't crazy when he got to Azkaban, he is crazy now." Ern said slowly, "If I were me, I would have exploded before I got to that place. He deserves it, think about it. ...What has he done..."
"They went to great lengths to hide this, didn't they, Ern?" Sampac asked. "The whole street was blown up and all the Muggles were dead. Ern, about What did they say about this?"
"Gas explosion," muttered Ern.
"But now he's out," said Sampac, looking back at the haggard picture of Black in the newspaper. "No one's ever escaped from Azkaban before, is it, Ern? I really don't know what he is. How did you get out? It's scary, isn't it? I don't think Azkaban's guards can resist, do you?"
Ern suddenly trembled.
"Say something else, Sampac, and be obedient. Mentioning the guards of Azkaban gives me goosebumps."
Suddenly, the car suddenly braked for no apparent reason. It looked like there was something in front of it that the car couldn't pass.
"Earn, what's wrong?" Sampac was startled by the sudden stop. There was no stop here.
Harry seemed frightened as well, he didn't understand what was happening.
"People from the Ministry of Magic..." Ern said, and he opened the front door of the Knight's bus.
"Oh, it must be the Auror who is chasing Sirius..." Sampac said, he ignored Harry, he went up to him!
When Harry heard that he was from the Ministry of Magic, he immediately lay down. You must know that he also violated the regulations of the Ministry of Magic. If the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic recognized him, Harry could not guarantee whether these Aurors would treat him. He grabbed it easily. They desperately needed an Apparition to send him to the Ministry of Magic or the damn Dursleys. Harry didn't want to go anywhere.
The same is true for Fan Lin. An illegal Animagus should not hang out in front of the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic. Fan Lin quickly hid under the quilt, leaving a gap to closely observe the Auror who had just got on the bus. .
The man "Kingsley Shacklebolt" showed his Auror certificate, and he waved the thing in front of Sampac.
"We just received news that Sirius Black has appeared in the Muggle area of this generation. Now you must cooperate with my search before you can leave..."
"Of course, Mr. Auror..." said Sampark, "No problem, but I can guarantee that there is no Sirius Black on the bus!"
"We have to search to know." Kingsley said, he raised his wand and looked at each bed.
"Damn..." Fanlin thought, "When did the Ministry of Magic move so fast? It's completely inconsistent with the impression of inefficiency. It seems that Fudge must have added a lot of pressure to Sirius's escape!"
Kingsley walked in. Fanlin just hoped that he would go over quickly. It would be bad if he was discovered!
"You, get up!" Kingsley touched Harry with his wand. He knew that the man in front of him was not asleep. He was pretending, which became very suspicious in Kingsley's eyes.
Fanlin secretly said that it was not good. He couldn't help but make a little squeak. Fanlin scared himself. (To be continued)
