Chapter 228 The Owl House (I)
Unknowingly, the two people's stroll was over. To be precise, Hermione was a little tired...
The atmosphere just now was so strange that Hermione didn't want to think about it yet, at least until she was older...
However, it was more of a girl's mind. As a female voice, she couldn't say anything first, but Fanlin always lacked the courage, which made Hermione feel very... well, I can't tell.
When the footsteps finally stopped, the two people arrived at the easternmost edge of Hogsmeade. As they walked outside, they were out of the scope of Hogsmeade. That was not allowed, and the periphery of Hogsmeade was also composed of Dementors are here to help.
At the end of the road is the Owl House, where hundreds of owls live. Perhaps it is more appropriately called the post office. The most important thing is that this is the highest place in Hogsmeade. Standing on it, you can overlook the entire Hogsmeade. Germode in full view.
"How about we go up and take a look?" Hermione asked. She had never been to this place. In fact, few people would come here. Every wizard basically has his own owl. The post office is more like a decoration. It can be called an owl rest stop.
After walking up a spiral staircase, the two of them stood at the highest point of Hogsmeade. Not far away was the famous Shrieking Shack, the transformation home of the werewolf Lupin.
In fact, Fanlin once quietly went to the Shrieking Shack. The purpose was of course to find the whereabouts of Sirius, and they needed to talk.
But it is a pity that Sirius did not stay there honestly, which made Fanlin very passive. He needed Sirius's cooperation to really attack Peter.
If Peter is arrested directly, then it is obvious that he needs to expose something that should not be exposed. Groundless suspicion will involve not only Peter, but also himself.
Dumbledore is undoubtedly a stone weighing on Fan Lin's heart. Ever since he remembered it, Fan Lin's impression of Dumbledore has not only remained as a kind and respectable elder, but also a more intuitive contact with him. On the other side of Dumbledore, choices, ruthlessness, and methods...
As the greatest white wizard in the modern era, Dumbledore is of course not as simple as he appears on the surface. If he only had force, Grindelwald would not be defeated by Dumbledore so easily. And Voldemort is not afraid of Dumbledore at all.
If Fan Lin's existence really affects Dumbledore's plan against Voldemort, then Fan Lin is not sure whether Dumbledore will keep him.
Expulsion, or death, these are not what Fanlin wants to face.
However, as long as the general flow does not change, some small changes should still be acceptable to the great white wizard, such as destroying some of Voldemort's Horcruxes in advance.
Fanlin felt that he needed to throw Rowena Ravenclaw's diadem away or destroy it after solving Sirius's matter.
Although Fan Lin knew that this thing existed in the Room of Requirement, Voldemort's Horcrux was really a dangerous thing, and Fan Lin did not dare to try it so easily...
Leaving it to Dumbledore may be a good choice, but the method is a matter to be studied.
"What are you thinking about?" Hermione asked. From the moment he stood on top and the two of them lay on the stone window together, Fanlin had been thinking about something.
"Ah..." Fan Lin seemed startled. He looked around and saw Hermione squinting at him. The redness on her face had faded. At least Hermione had returned to normal.
"Nothing..." Fan Lin shook his head, "Some boring things, such as the relationship between Sirius Black and Harry..."
"With Harry?" Hermione asked, "Didn't Sirius want to kill Harry?"
"Maybe." Fan Lin smiled, "If that's the case, he has no chance at all."
"Indeed, Dumbledore is here, as well as people from the Ministry of Magic. Although the dementors are very bad, they should be included in it. So..."
Hermione looked at Fan Lin seriously, "You shouldn't think about these things. They are very dangerous. You promised me."
Suddenly, a voice came from behind the two of them. Like a hungry wolf grinding his sharp teeth.
The two men suddenly turned around, and there was a black dog standing at the door of the Owl House. It looked like it had been there for a long time.
The oily green pupils exuded a shocking light, which was like a signal of danger.
"Sirius Black!" Fan Lin exclaimed, his pupils contracting.
Fan Lin never imagined that he would meet Sirius at such a time, Hogsmeade weekend, the Owl Room in Hogsmeade, Professor McGonagall in the Three Broomsticks Bar, and the Aurors from the Ministry of Magic. Someone is always available.
Sirius shouldn't be in Hogsmeade and looking so swaggering.
But Sirius didn't give Fan Lin time to think about it. He seemed to be a little impatient. The kid in front of him followed and looked for him again and again, which made Sirius feel very bad.
He often used his Animagus form to come to Hogsmeade to inquire about information. It turned out that the Aurors at the Ministry of Magic did not recognize him at all. He even slipped in front of the Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge. In the past, none of them were discovered...
Until today, he saw the boy who had been tracking him in Hogsmeade. This was a rare opportunity in Sirius's eyes. This is not Hogwarts, and there is no Dumbledore...
Perhaps his appearance frightened the two little guys. Fan Lin had not had time to draw out his wand until Sirius jumped over.
Fan Lin stretched out his hand and pushed Hermione aside, and then the black dog transformed by Sirius threw Fan Lin to the ground. A smelly smell spread out, and Fan Lin could clearly see Sirius's crotch. tooth.
The fangs are a little yellowed and seem to have become a little loose. This is the impact of more than ten years of living in Azkaban. Although Sirius is just middle-aged, his body is older than time. Go faster.
"Ah..." Hermione screamed, and the moment she was pushed away by Fan Lin, she was almost frightened.
"Get out of here..." The girl didn't know where she got the courage. She immediately pulled out her wand and was about to attack Sirius.
Before Fan Lin could rush to stop Hermione, Sirius had already turned his head and stared at Hermione.
Nothing could change Sirius's mind. He would definitely get rid of the things that threatened him first. At least Hermione, who was holding a wand at this time, was qualified to let Sirius attack her.
Fan Lin didn't dare to question whether Sirius would hurt Hermione. If Sirius was before being locked up, he would never do this, but time is enough to change many things.
Fanlin was faster than Hermione and Black. He was the first to move. Originally, he didn't intend to resist, but Sirius was now staring at Hermione fiercely, which made him very unhappy.
Fan Lin's movements were very fast, and the effect of his usual physical exercise was perfectly displayed at this moment.
He half curled up and used his knees to push hard against the belly of the black dog that Sirius had transformed into. A light blue curse mark floated out from his hand. Although it was not released through the wand, he cooperated to break away from Sirius. The control is apparently sufficient.
"Impedimenta!"
Hermione's voice sounded in time, and a blocking spell was issued from in front of Hermione's wand, which blocked Sirius's attempt to pounce.
"Are you okay?" Hermione saw that her spell had worked, and she returned to Fanlin as soon as possible. Sirius had been knocked out of the room, and it was precious time to breathe.
"It's okay." Fan Lin said. He didn't want Hermione to worry, but his chest felt a little tight. Sirius had no mercy at all. Fan Lin didn't expect that Sirius's declining body could still burst out with such great power. .
Fan Lin quickly took his wand into his hand. He looked at the surrounding situation vigilantly. Although Sirius was knocked back by Hermione's curse, it was obviously of no effect. The lethality of Hermione's curse was It's really limited.
Fan Lin's eyes were fixed on the door. Sirius was knocked out from this position just now, so where will the next attack be?
Waiting for them at the door, or...
Fan Lin turned around suddenly. His magic power had not yet been fully constructed, and when an ice wall had not fully risen, Sirius jumped in from the window behind the two voices.
He needs a magic wand. Compared to Fan Lin, the little girl in front of him seems to be easier to deal with.
Fan Lin was obviously a little panicked when he saw that Sirius' target was Hermione. If he dared to bite Hermione, Fan Lin would definitely consider killing him.
"Be careful, Hermione!" Fan Lin's hand with the wand was immediately on Hermione's body. He hugged the girl's entire body, but Sirius's goal was the wand. He seemed to want to pull Fan Lin's body. As if his hand was bitten off, Fanlin's hand loosened slightly, and the wand fell into Sirius's hand.
"Are you okay?" Fan Lin didn't care that the wand was taken away. He was more concerned about whether Hermione was injured.
"Yeah." The girl replied with some confusion. Then the two of them turned their heads together, Sirius was still in the room.
"You are an illegal Animagus..." Hermione exclaimed. The black dog holding the magic wand in its mouth quickly changed into a ragged middle-aged man in front of her. The man looked very haggard. , the eye sockets look very deep.
At first, Hermione wasn't sure that the black dog was Sirius, but the changed face told it all. (To be continued)
