Chapter 233 Relationship Breakdown (Modified)
"Penello," Allen suddenly straightened his face and looked at Penello, "I think we'd better keep this matter secret."
"Why?" Penello looked puzzled, "Is he a wanted criminal?"
"What our eyes see and what our ears hear may not necessarily be the truth, Penello." Allen was deeply touched.
Penello looked at Alan, and she felt that there was something in Alan's words.
"Well—you don't want to be questioned by the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic, do you? There is also the possibility of using Veritaserum, Legilimency, and maybe even Dementors..." Allen said the best he could think of. The bad result came out all at once, "You know, the Ministry of Magic actually doesn't care much about little wizards with no background..."
Penello suddenly laughed, very brightly, "Alan, I'm not a little girl anymore, and Dumbledore would not allow such a thing to happen. Although I don't know why you want to keep Sirius a secret, I am willing to keep it secret for you. "
It was a little difficult for Allen to take his eyes off Penello's face, and he laughed a little awkwardly after being caught out.
"Well, it seems that the animal carcass we found before is the masterpiece of Sirius Black." Penello nuzzled at the animal carcass to ease Allen's embarrassment.
Allen nodded gratefully to Penello, and then said, "Michael and the others must be very worried, let's go up quickly."
"Sirius won't do anything to them?" Penello quickened his pace.
"No, they'll just think Black is a black dog. Get ready, Penello, we're going to get out."
Alan held Penello's hand again. In the dark cave, thousands of bats were flying and colliding, and there were strange shadows. Alan pulled Penello and rushed forward along the tunnel. Shoes clattered on the wet ground. To their surprise, the bats were indifferent to their flight, but rushed to and fro above their heads, screaming sharply.
Allen and Penello lowered their heads and ran under them.
Climbing out along the hole, feeling that the light above was getting brighter and brighter, Allen saw Edward dragging Michael, looking into the hole.
"Hey, Alan, you figured it out! There were footsteps just now, but I didn't expect a big dog to jump out of it later!" Edward stretched out his other hand and pulled Penello first. He came up and pointed to Michael who was still floating, "We're worried."
"Thank you, but fortunately everyone is fine," Penello said.
Edward still wanted to pull Allen up, but Allen had already put his hands on the ground and jumped up pretendingly.
"What will happen to us up there?" Edward was a little surprised.
"Uh—it's such a big dog after all! I'm afraid it will attack you." Penello was stunned for a while, and then gave the reason, "Besides, who knows if you can hold Michael, so that both of them fly into the sky !"
On the way back to Hogsmeade, Michael was finally able to control himself and feel the beauty of being down to earth.
Next, Allen and the others went shopping at Zuko's Magic Joke Store as if nothing had happened, and sipped cherry juice and soda with ice and a small umbrella at the Three Broomsticks Bar.
On the path back to Hogwarts Castle along the lake, Michael kept complaining that if the professors were not in the Three Broomsticks later, they might want to go in and taste the butter beer. There were quite a few little wizards who went there early All tasted.
"But as long as the weekend training, we can drink again." In the blink of an eye, Michael smiled again.
"Did you see the look in her eyes just now? She was looking at me all the time! And she smiled so charmingly!" The thirteen-year-old Michael felt that the charming bar proprietress who caught a glimpse just now must have fallen in love with him.
Allen, Penello, and Edward looked at each other and smiled, and neither of them told Michael that his hair looked like a spiraling bird's nest.
"I'm a man who can fly into the sky!" Michael, who saw the eyes of three people, misunderstood,
Thinking that they didn't believe it, they said this sentence.
The other three couldn't help it anymore and laughed out loud.
"Alan, why didn't you help Harry in the morning?" Ron's voice disturbed Alan's harmonious atmosphere, "Don't let other people join the training class!"
Allen shrugged, "Ron, I think you should try to learn to solve some small troubles by yourself. The rules of the training class cannot be decided by me alone. In addition, I think Professor Lupine will be very happy to teach you."
"Hmph!" Ron walked over in front of Allen angrily, "I think you don't want to make friends with us dudes!"
Hermione, who was following Ron, nodded awkwardly at Allen, "Sorry Allen, Ron was run over by Malfoy just now." Then she whispered as they passed by Allen.
"What is he humming?" Edward looked puzzled.
"Maybe I'm angry about what happened in the morning." Penello narrowed his eyes as he watched Ron's disappearing figure.
As Allen's roommate, Edward knew that Allen had helped Harry and the others a lot: "What is this called? Does Allen usually help less? He thinks it should be taken for granted?"
"They Gryffindors are like this. When they have a good relationship with you, they can give their lives for you with passion." Alan put his hands behind his back, then shrugged and tilted his head, "But if anything goes wrong, their academy is also the best way to turn against you." Fast, impulsive, they are even faster than Slytherin. Do you still remember the first-year Harry who was deducted points and the second-year basilisk incident Gryffindor and their attitude towards their own people? In fact, if you want to It is still possible to reconcile with them, but you have to be patient enough to let them think clearly and take the initiative-but obviously I don't have the patience of Harry to wait for the other party to burst out some bright spots and advantages again, It doesn't make sense to me ... what he thinks is his business."
"Alan is so kind. We want them to look good for the Quidditch competition!" Michael began to look like an angry little lion, and now Alan, who saved his life, seemed to be his idol. , he couldn't accept Ron's cold snort at all.
Filch stood guard in the entrance hall, carefully watching the little wizards who came back from Hogsmeade, lest any little wizards bring contraband back to the castle.
Mrs. Norris walked up and down at his feet, watching them warily.
For Allen, the little wizard who often helped him, Filch let him go after only a little scrutiny, while the twin brothers of Gryffindor encountered the strictest inspection.
Of course, Allen knew that Filch would return without success, and thinking of the consequences of George and Weasley's pranks during the summer vacation, Allen was not in a good mood and decided to teach them a lesson - walked quickly to a room Empty classroom, Allen summoned Maggie from the pet space, and told it some things, Maggie left with bright eyes.
Maggie felt that even if her new master turned bad, she would still find her cute—but he was just a little naughty.
After ordering Maggie, Allen went to the auditorium in a good mood. Penello had already changed into Ravenclaw's robes and was waiting at the entrance of the auditorium.
The auditorium is adorned with hundreds of candle-lit pumpkins, a swarm of live bats flying around, and many flaming orange banners like colorful water snakes brewing a stormy ceiling floated lazily.
"Oh, I hate this year's decoration." Penello frowned in disgust as he watched the bats rampaging above the auditorium.
"I hope they don't sprinkle some potions and medicinal materials to treat burns." Allen changed to a more elegant statement.
"Potion?" Penello didn't understand, but when he thought about the bat guano used to treat the potion for burns, he understood what Alan meant, pursed his lips, and smiled happily.
Allen was keenly aware of an unfriendly gaze staring at him, and immediately caught the source of the gaze - it was Percy on the Gryffindor long table.
Thinking of Ron's cold snort and what he told Maggie to do, Allen felt that it might be difficult for his relationship with most of the Weasley family's juniors to return to its original state.
