Chapter 287 Returning to School

Unless the user flips a special switch, the tiny steel needles that pop out will pierce anyone who tries to wield the longsword.

It's actually quite useful, as it can be placed on any weapon, tool, or similar.

And, obviously, the pogo stick had a toxin that Maggie couldn't resist.

Allen took out the antidote prepared with unicorn horn and gently poured it into Maggie's mouth.

Maggie's originally distorted face due to pain gradually softened, and she felt a hot current pouring into her body, which was very warm.

She moved her fingers, and was pleasantly surprised to find that the strength that seemed to have been sucked out was reinjected into her body along with the heat.

After getting used to it for a while, Maggie shook her head, stood up straight, and blinked in surprise.

She rubbed her head, feeling as good as ever.

"Maggie, are you okay? How do you feel?" Although he knew the effect of his antidote, Allen still asked a little worriedly.

Maggie looked at Alan with a worried face, blinked her big wet eyes, and said, "Master, Maggie feels fine, I'm so sorry."

"Why do you have to apologize? You did a good job." Allen stroked Maggie's little head and comforted her.

After thinking about it, Allen temporarily deformed the dragon leather protective gloves that he took out earlier, shrunk it to a size suitable for Maggie, and handed it to the house elf.

Black on the side was shocked, not because of Alan's extremely smooth transfiguration, but because he dared to hand over the clothes to the house elf!

Maggie took it without hesitation and put it on her hand. She naturally knew that Allen would never drive her away.

And she will definitely use all her enthusiasm and strength to repay this generous and gentle master.

After the room was cleaned up by Maggie, outside the door of No. 12 Grimmauld Place, Allen waved Sirius farewell.

He declined Sirius' offer to take him home, disapparated in front of Sirius, and went to Aunt Josephine's estate.

After going through the court trial and collecting the treasures, the sky gradually darkened and the sun set low. When he came to the manor again, Alan felt completely different from the previous time.

Allen felt that the greatest joy in winter lies in the pleasing silence and the tranquility revealed by the bare tree trunks.

Even if there is a breeze, there is no sound to be heard here, for there is not a holly, not an evergreen tree that can make a whirling sound.

The bare hawthorn and hazel bushes were as silent as the worn white stones in the middle of the path.

How hadn't the loveliness of this manor been discovered before?

A crisp voice, distant and clear, broke the tranquility and shattered the rustling wind.

The voice came from the balcony on the second floor, and Allen followed the voice and looked up. It was Clark.

Although this little female ghost enjoys the comfortable time of monopolizing the manor alone, she still welcomes Alan's arrival very much.

Allen greeted Clark with a smile, and then quickly entered the manor - the female ghost told Allen that Aunt Josephine hadn't returned home after going out.

Allen found the Chamber of Secrets familiarly, and collected all the things Maggie carried inside into Ravenclaw's tower.

After sending Benny to send a letter to Mr. Harris to inform him of his whereabouts, Allen returned to Hogwarts.

Above the majestic castle, hung the rising moon, pale as a cloud at first, but brightening immediately, overlooking Hogwarts.

Walking on the path leading to the castle, Allen felt as if he was walking in a painting. The foreground was heavily ink-painted—large cliffs or the thick branches of a big oak tree, covering the castle in the distance from time to time, Verdant mountains, bright sky and dappled clouds.

But just as he was about to step into the castle, the tranquility was broken.

"Alan, Alan Harris!" cried a voice.

Allen followed his reputation and found that it was Remus Lupine, the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts.

He looked at himself solemnly, and Professor McGonagall next to him was full of anxiety on his always serious face.

Harry, Hermione, and Luna stood behind the two professors, talking about something.

Hearing Professor Lupine's shout, he also looked at Allen.

what's going on?

Could it be that after Harry found out about Sirius, he got into trouble again?

Allen quickened his pace and rushed to Professor Lupine and Professor McGonagall.

"Mr. Harris, you are back! Do you know the whereabouts of Mr. Weasley and Mr. Malfoy?" Professor McGonagall asked directly.

"I don't know, Ron and Draco? Are they missing?" Allen asked.

Professor Lupine nodded heavily, "Yes, we are looking. Luna said that she saw them follow you into the Forbidden Forest."

"Huh?" Allen recalled the situation that day, and had never seen the two of them!

Allen looked at Luna aside, and Luna's big light silver eyes were fixed on Allen, looking as dazed as ever.

Allen immediately decided that it was impossible for Luna to lie, that is to say, he was followed that day? But from the beginning to the end, it was a pity that he was in a hurry to arrest Peter that day, so he didn't pay attention to them behind him, which also made him feel that he was indeed a little careless, and his experience in this field was not enough.

But soon, he thought of someone who might know their tracks.

"Did you ask Professor Snape? He was there that day, so he may know their whereabouts." Allen expressed his guess.

"We have also contacted Professor Snape, but for some reason, the owl we sent out has not returned yet." Professor McGonagall said quickly.

Of course I couldn't find it!

In the cemetery in Godric's Hollow, Professor Snape stood in front of a tomb made of white marble. The inscription on the tombstone seemed to be shining in the dark.

The last enemy to eliminate is death.

So what if Peter Pettigrew was kissed by a dementor!

Just thinking of Lily's rotting corpse lying under the ice, snow and stones, cold and unconscious, brought tears to Professor Snape's eyes.

The tears were scalding hot, and instantly froze on his face.

But he didn't do anything.

What's the point of wiping and covering up?

He let the tears run freely, his lips were tightly closed, and he stared at Lily's name on the tombstone.

After a long time, he raised his wand and drew a circle in the air, and a rose wreath bloomed in front of him immediately.

Professor Snape caught it and placed him under Lily's name on the tombstone.

On the square of Hogwarts, Allen suddenly remembered something, and he looked at Harry.

Didn't Harry have the Marauder's Map?

But Harry and Hermione also looked at Allen anxiously.

There was no way Harry hadn't seen the Marauder's Map!

Followed himself into the Forbidden Forest, but did not appear within the scope of Hogwarts!

A location popped up in Allen's mind - the Screaming Shack.
