Chapter 348: Sirius Returns

The hall was noisy. Most of the wizards in Hogwarts had no classes today. Except for the Defense Against the Dark Arts class in the afternoon, the whole Friday was so relaxed and comfortable.

In fact, except for some Ravenclaws and Gryffindors who continued to take the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, nearly half of the Hufflepuffs and all the Slytherins refused Professor Lupin's Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

Those Hufflepuffs were afraid of Professor Lupin's identity. Ben was taught by a werewolf, which made these Hufflepuff students feel very insecure, such as Ernie or...

What was the name of the Hufflepuff who had a conflict with Harry? He was the one who was petrified in the second grade.

Damn, who would remember his name.

In Ron's words, that boy was just like Ernie, a complete idiot.

Now think about it, Hufflepuff is really kind. Anyone can enter Hufflepuff.

There are erudite zoologists like Mr. Newt, and there are also stupid and hopeless people like Ernie.

I heard that Ernie admires Sirius very much.

Well, Sirius is indeed very popular in the wizarding world now, not just civilian wizards.

Sirius is the actual ruler of the Black family. The rich background of the Black family is not what ordinary people can imagine, whether in terms of wealth or magic background.

The Black family is a pure-blood wizard family with hundreds of years of history. Every patriarch of their family is a top force in the magic world.

The top one should be Phoenix. Although this old man is very annoying when he speaks, it has to be admitted that he is a capable and courageous person.

As the headmaster of Hogwarts, his strength and skills are unquestionable. Although he did not take back the Black family's manor in the end, he did what those nobles could not do.

This in itself is a huge success.

As for the Black family's manor, it seems to have been confiscated by the king at that time, because of black magic or something else, there is no way to know, that was a feudal era hundreds of years ago.

Let's turn the topic back to the Defense Against the Dark Arts class. We just talked about Hufflepuff, so of course, it's our Slytherin's turn at the end.

Speaking of Slytherin, Fanlin is very complicated.

If it weren't for the magic left by Andre, the patriarch of the Slytherin family... Well, Fanlin is not sure whether Andre is the patriarch of the Slytherin family. The Slytherin family has been completely deserted. If Salazar Slytherin hadn't left Hogwarts, if Voldemort hadn't died, then the Slytherin family should have disappeared.

In fact, Voldemort's birth was an accident. Dumbledore didn't tell Fanlin the specific situation, but according to his memory, Voldemort was just an accidental product, the crystallization of the love potion.

Of course, the Slytherin family and the Slytherin of Hogwarts are basically not related now.

The attitude of Slytherin students towards Professor Lupin is nothing more than a kind of disgust from the bones.

They are all nobles, and their inherent pride does not allow them to accept a poor Defense Against the Dark Arts professor to teach them. Many of them are just afraid of werewolves, but it is not the case that they are afraid.

Almost every noble has to deal with Fandao Alley to maintain their relationship, after all, that is where the fastest way to get gold galleons is.

And the existence of Fandao Alley is a dark place in the British wizarding world, where a large number of dark wizards, vampires, and werewolves gather.

Theoretically speaking, as long as the people in Fandao Alley do not do something like the goblin rebellion, they will survive forever.

The people in the Church are very upset about this, at least on the surface.

Fanlin is very glad that the power of the Church has been limited to the surrounding areas of the Vatican, otherwise, it will inevitably be another protracted war.

Fanlin suddenly felt that the world is far from as simple as imagined, not just in the wizarding world, but has always been like this since ancient times.

"What are you thinking about, Fanlin?" Hermione asked.

"Ah... nothing!" said Fan Lin. He suddenly found that a small piece of pudding he had scooped out with a spoon was about to fall into the plate, which inevitably caused another fluster.

"Really." Hermione said, "You have been in a daze since we were discussing the Sirius issue just now."

"I was just wondering when Sirius would come over." Fan Lin said quickly, and he swept away the pudding on the plate in a few seconds.

Having a house elf is really a good choice, at least you can satisfy your appetite at any time.

"When will he come back?" Harry said strangely, "But I haven't received any news that Sirius is coming back. Where is he going back? Hogwarts?"

"Of course," Fan Lin said, "otherwise where do you think he is going?"

"But he is very busy now!" Harry pointed at the Daily Prophet, where Sirius was wearing a Gilderoy smile, and his quill was signing a book. Of course, there was also his fan, a crazy middle-aged lady. Harry was always worried that the woman would faint from excitement.

"Believe me, Harry, Sirius can't stand it for long. There are more interesting things to do when you return to Hogwarts." Fanlin said, "I want another pudding, Hermione!"

"No, you are a pig. You have eaten three in a row. If Mr. Al knew, he would definitely teach you a lesson." Hermione said.

Just two days ago, Mr. Al's daily letter specifically mentioned that Hermione should take good care of Fanlin, especially in terms of eating sweets.

"But he doesn't know." Fanlin said, "Just one piece."

"I will write to Mr. Al and tell him that you have abandoned your daily habits, love to sleep late, and don't listen to me!" Hermione said, looking at Fanlin with dissatisfaction.

Fanlin knew very well that if this continued, Hermione would definitely tell Mr. Al, without any surprise.

"Okay..." Although Fanlin was very reluctant, he had to do it.

He suddenly felt a little bored. Although there were still many problems to be solved, he really needed to relax.

This was also the advice given by Dumbledore. Tight strings are always easy to break.

Dumbledore's explanation was that Fanlin's strength was strong enough compared to ordinary wizards, and he should take a good rest.

Then, this task naturally fell on Hermione.

In order to prevent Fanlin from being too nervous, even Hermione gave up her daily study in the library. In addition to textbooks, Fanlin has not touched other magic books for several days.

But this is a good thing in Harry's eyes.

The books that Fanlin read are really too difficult to understand. "Ancient Rune Annotations", "The True Meaning of Soul Magic", "Elementary Alchemy Mastery"...

Of course, these are all open. What's even more terrifying is that Fanlin actually got the approval of the restricted book area from Dumbledore.

Now Fanlin doesn't have to worry about him taking the invisibility cloak, he can enter the restricted book area openly. There are books about black magic there.

This was mentioned inadvertently by Fanlin when he returned the invisibility cloak to Harry. Harry even found a note about the law of the devil under Fanlin's bed, which made Harry feel very dangerous.

"Can you not be so depressed?" Hermione said.

"How about going to Hogsmeade in the afternoon?" Fanlin said. Since they were going to relax, they might as well relax completely. Anyway, Professor Lupin would not say anything to them. It was exciting to skip classes occasionally.

"It's not bad to go to Hagrid. When I brought Buckbeak to Hagrid yesterday, Hagrid was so excited." Harry said, "I never thought that Buckbeak, the big stupid bird, would wander around in the Forbidden Forest for several days because of playfulness. He almost got lost. I'm so glad he can fly."

This is a very funny thing, at least Harry thinks so.

Speaking of flying, Fanlin remembered Snape's ability to turn his whole body into magic. He went to Snape's office, but Snape did not let him in.

It seems that learning such practical skills can only rely on Sirius. However, Fanlin's admiration for Sirius was not as good as Harry's. Whether it was strength or brains, Professor Snape was obviously more powerful, but Professor Snape was not so easy to get along with.

Several people were sitting in the hall, talking and laughing. Compared to this period of time, the alarm was lifted and Hogwarts regained its former vitality. However, not long after, Professor McGonagall called them away from the hall.

I heard that Dumbledore was looking for them.

Ah... Bah...

It was Dumbledore who was looking for them. He had a big treasure to show to the four children. He was waiting for you in the office~

(Will it be censored... the dirty power paragraph, I just don’t want to write it well, I’m going to explode, I want to go home!!!)

Wait...

Well, good!

In fact, Professor Dumbledore did not disappoint them, to be precise, he did not disappoint Harry.

Several people, accompanied by a huge statue that could not be named, spiraled up. (Actually, I really want to write a secret technique: jumping back and forth! But I can’t find a place to insert it, so I force you to jump out of the play!)

Spiral ascension... Well, in the end they still came to the room of the final boss, and the heroes pulled out the big sword... the magic wand.

What they are about to face is the ravages of Professor Dumbledore, the first in the wizarding world. Of course, there is also a wild Sirius. I have always been curious about what kind of dog Sirius has become, but here, I hope his Animagus is a Husky. (To be continued)
