Chapter 556 Sirius's Response
The days of anticipation are always easy to pass, provided that you have not experienced what Harry has experienced.
This is a common thing for Fan Lin.
Meeting Sirius in the middle of the night, bringing Hermione along, and then counting Harry.
In fact, Fan Lin did not think that Harry could get any help from Sirius.
Fan Lin wrote to Sirius, and this guy could not even come to school to watch Harry's performance.
Performance?
We seem to have made a mistake.
Fan Lin shook his head. This idea was undoubtedly ridiculous. Let Harry perform with a dragon?
Even if it was not an adult dragon, but a mouthful of flame would still burn Harry steadily into slag...
Using a young wizard to fight a fire dragon is really in line with the unreliable magic style of the Ministry of Magic.
However, this is also helpless. An underage dragon is just a challenge. If a monster like Fenrir is produced, it will really not be a three-wizard battle.
It should be a brave man fighting a devil...
The version with three plus signs.
Think about it, this is really exciting.
Readers of the Daily Prophet will definitely like this chapter. The wizarding world is too lax, so naturally, everyone's tendency has become a bit of a bad taste.
When Sunday came, Harry's mood was relaxed. After all, he was about to meet Sirius. Harry had always dreamed of visiting Sirius' workplace, but...
"When can he come?"
"Come? That's hard to say." Fan Lin said, closing his spell notebook, "You know, Sirius is not in the UK now, he is doing Auror work."
"Or, we can go over there, I got some Floo powder." Harry said, he took out a small bag from his pocket.
"I don't think it would be a good thing for you to do this." Hermione said, "This is not in accordance with the rules..."
Harry was a little speechless. Things that were not in accordance with the rules were familiar to several people.
"The most important thing now is to drive everyone back to sleep." Hermione said, she pointed to several energetic Gryffindors not far away.
"Turn on the refrigerator."
"What?" Fanlin said in disbelief, "How did I become a refrigerator?"
"But your magic is really weird." Hermione said, "I tried, but I can't make any changes to the most basic magic."
Harry nodded and looked at Fanlin expectantly.
"Okay... okay..." Fanlin muttered, and he put the book on the table.
A barely perceptible blue halo spread from Fanlin's fingertips in an instant.
The fire seemed to be burning out. The originally blazing flame swayed for a moment, and then the height of the flame was pressed back into the charcoal.
Hermione and Harry had prepared a warming spell early, which was a common thing, of course, if you want to catch a cold.
The Gryffindors who were playing on the side felt a little cold. They were wearing very thin clothes. This was the warm Gryffindor public lounge, but now several people could exhale white mist from their mouths. What the hell?
Their activities soon stopped, and several people hurried upstairs, and Vanlin dispersed the magic.
"It's really effective." Harry said, shaking the ice in the cup.
"I think you can open a cold drink shop and completely replace the function of the freezer." Harry said.
"Thank you for thinking about me." Vanlin rolled his eyes.
"What will happen to those people?"
"I don't know, at most they will catch a cold, but Madam Pomfrey will cure them." Vanlin said indifferently, and he and Hermione cast their eyes back into the book.
At half past ten in the evening, the movement from the fire attracted Harry's attention. It looked like something came out of the stove.
Harry felt a little confused, but then he remembered the scene at the Weasley family, Mr. Diggory came out of the flames.
Harry was a little excited.
"Come here quickly." Harry said, and he called Vanlin and Hermione to come around the table.
Sirius's head came out of the flames at the right time.
It was the first time for Hermione to see someone use the Floo network like this. In fact, she was still only familiar with books.
"Nice to meet you, Sirius." Harry said excitedly. He seemed to want to give his godfather a hug, but in this form...
"Sirius, I want to ask you a question." Hermione said, "I know this is a way to use the Floo network, but your head is in the flames, you can't feel it..."
"It's quite uncomfortable." Sirius said undeniably, "Although the flame of the Floo powder is not hot, it is necessary to go out and use ice water to cool it down and wash off the ashes on your face."
"Why don't you come?" Harry asked, "I mean, why don't you come to Hogwarts?"
"Sorry, Harry." Sirius said, "In fact, the conditions here are not enough to support my Floo powder trip."
"What's wrong?" Harry asked puzzled.
"In fact, this fireplace can only allow one of my heads to get in." Sirius said helplessly, his head swaying in the fire, "Besides, you must not have cleaned the fireplace in advance."
"Uh..." Harry never thought that Sirius would be unable to come through for such a reason.
"What's going on with those vampires, Sirius?" Fan Lin asked, he had always been concerned about this issue.
"Those vampires are definitely the same as Peter. I highly doubt that their Animagus is a rat..."
"Rat?"
"Shouldn't it be a bat?" Harry asked stupidly.
Hermione rolled her eyes at Harry, and then didn't bother to say anything to Harry.
"There is no progress in your work?" Fan Lin asked.
"For now, it's like this." Sirius said, "Although we have caught a few unlucky guys, according to their confessions, their companions seem to have disappeared from the world. Scrimgeour is studying how to make ordinary people disappear." Sorcerers and vampires apart."
"It can be distinguished by the nature of the magic power." Fan Lin said, "The magic power of vampires is highly erosive and viscous, and their bodies are cold and have no normal physiological characteristics of wizards... Do you know what physiological characteristics are?"
"Oh, thank you very much, but we can't investigate every wizard." Sirius said, "Even so, I doubt they can really catch these old monsters that have been hidden for hundreds of years. "
Fan Lin nodded. There was no need for them to question the vampire's ability to hide.
The once glorious Holy See couldn't do anything about it. How could it be captured by just a few Aurors?
"More than this, I want to know the situation on your side." Sirius said, "Have you found out who put Harry's name in it?"
Fanlin wanted to tell Sirius that Moody had put his name in, but he didn't have enough evidence. At least, Moody's hiding was perfect enough for now.
Fanlin shook his head gently.
"Another guy who hides his head and shows his tail." Sirius said, "About the Three Wizards Tournament, Harry, I have something to give you."
Sirius's head shook, and then two books fell out of the flames.
"What is this?" Harry picked it up and took a look at the titles of the books, "One Hundred Ways to Deal with Dragons" and "Dragon Training Manual".
It seemed like Sirius had gotten enough information.
"What is this?" Harry asked.
"You haven't seen it yet, Harry." Fan Lin said, "I reminded you, it's a dragon!"
"Did you remind me?" Harry asked in disbelief.
"Yes, I told Hagrid about Nobo, and Hagrid also promised that Nobo would be back soon." Fan Lin said, "This is your first level mission."
"Against a dragon?" Hermione exclaimed.
Harry couldn't believe it. He looked at Sirius, and Sirius nodded, giving him a certain answer.
Harry suddenly felt that his spirit had slipped further into the trough. Indeed, there was nothing more terrifying than the arrival of a dragon?
"How could it be...how could it be a dragon?" Hermione felt that this was unscientific...magic itself was very unscientific.
"Don't worry about the dragon problem, I have a way to deal with it, and..." Sirius looked at Fan Lin.
"I will teach Harry." Fan Lin said, "Dragons are not that difficult to deal with."
"Compared to this, I have something to remind you." Sirius continued: "Harry, Karkaroff is simply a Death Eater. Do you know what a Death Eater is?"
"Ah, he...what?"
"He was captured with me in Azkban, but now he's been released. I bet the reason Dumbledore needed some Aurors in Hogwarts this year was precisely to keep an eye on him. Moody caught him. When we get to Karkaroff, we must send him to Azkban first.”
"Karloff was released?" Harry murmured. He struggled in his mind to accept yet another piece of shocking news. "Why did they release him?"
"He made a bet with the Minister of Magic," Sirius said disdainfully: "He said he had made some mistakes, and then pointed out a lot of them... and finally he got a lot of people to go to Azkban to replace him. , he's really unpopular there, I can tell you that, and, ever since he came out, he's been filled with hatred for every student and professor at his goddam school, so you gotta watch out for the players too "
"Okay," Harry replied slowly, "But... you just said that Karkaroff wrote my name into the goblet, right? In this way, if he does it, he will be worthy of his name. A good actor, he would pretend to be furious when really he was just trying to stop me from competing."
"We know he's playing tricks," said Sirius, "because he convinced the Minister of Magic to let him go. Isn't that enough? Now, I've been following the Daily Prophet, and you know, Harry—"
"You're always focused on other things," Harry said bitterly.
"Besides, judging from what that woman named Skeeter wrote last month, Moody and Hogwarts were attacked the night before. Of course, I know she called that a false warning, Sirius said hastily, for fear that Harry would interrupt, "But I don't think so. I think someone must be trying to prevent him from reaching Hogwarts. I think someone must feel that with his presence, their difficulties will be solved." That's why he did this. No one is willing to investigate this matter in depth. The Magic Eye has heard too many things like this, but that doesn't mean that he can't discover the truth. After all, Moody is owned by the Ministry of Magic. The best warrior.
"
"So, what are you going to say?" Harry said slowly, "Does Karkaroff want to kill me?
But... why? "
Sirius hesitated.
"I heard some very strange things," he murmured. "It's been a lot more active recently. They discovered it at the Quidditch World Cup, didn't they? Someone released the Dark Mark again... Later, Have you heard about the disappearance of the Secretary to the Minister of Magic?"
"Percy Zolkins?" Harry asked.
"Exactly, she suddenly disappeared in Albania, which is where Voldemort is said to have last appeared. She must have heard about the appearance of the Three Wizards Competition, right?"
"Yes, but she can't go directly to Voldemort, right?" Harry said to himself.
"Look, I know Percy. Zolkins," Sirius said seriously.
"So, Voldemort knew the truth about the game, right?" Harry asked, "Is that what you mean? Do you think Karkaroff might be here on his orders?"
"I don't know," he said slowly, "I just don't know... Unless Karkaroff knew that Voldemort was powerful enough to protect him, he would dare to play tricks in front of everyone's eyes, but no matter who takes your There's a reason why names are written on the goblet, and I always think it's a good way to attack you and make it look like an accident."
"From my point of view, it looks completely premeditated," Harry said gloomily. "They just have to stand back and let the dragons do their job."
"Right - these dragons," Sirius said quickly, "There is a way, Harry, don't go up and try a stun spell - dragons are too powerful and magical to be defeated by an outstanding person. You need about dozens of spells at a time to subdue a dragon."
"I think you don't need to worry about this." Fan Lin said, "I have some preparations here, eye disease spells and so on. I care more about what you said than this. What do you mean, Kakalo Husband returned to Voldemort's arms?"
"I don't know." Sirius shook his head, "I said before, this is just a guess, damn, why should I come out to chase these damn vampires."
"If someone else had gone..." Fan Lin shrugged, "I don't think they would have gained anything." (To be continued)
