Chapter 562 Poor Sirius

While Ivan was thinking about it, Harry continued to talk about what happened next.

Shortly after the Dark Mark rose into the sky, Barty Crouch, Director of the Department of International Magical Exchange and Cooperation of the Ministry of Magic, and Bagman, the host of the Quidditch World Cup, rushed over with a group of people.

What made Harry most angry was that these people actually mistakenly thought that the Dark Mark was released by himself, because his wand was accidentally lost and happened to appear nearby.

Some Aurors who maintained order in the arena also arrested Sirius, trying to accuse him of causing chaos with those dark wizards wearing masks.

"How could they accuse us so unjustly? Sirius just wanted to catch a troublemaker and ask what was going on, but those Aurors didn't care about the escaped black-robed wizard and arrested him first!" Ha! Lee's body trembled, looking very angry.

Ivan's expression became a little weird. It seemed that poor Sirius was almost caught in Azkaban again.

But this is also because Sirius appeared too coincidental.

As a wanted criminal of the former Ministry of Magic, how long did it take for Sirius to be cleared of suspicion? I ran to the World Cup stadium and watched the stadium like a normal person.

It happened that a large-scale riot broke out there, suspected to be caused by Death Eaters. The Aurors who arrived happened to see Sirius nearby, so of course they would be suspicious of him.

"What happened next? Is Sirius okay?" Ivan asked curiously.

Harry shook his head. They explained for a long time, and the Aurors carefully checked Sirius's wand to confirm that he had not set fire to it or cast a spell to torture any Muggles.

Coupled with the fact that Ron's father, Arthur Weasley, was willing to vouch for Sirius, Barty Crouch relented and let Sirius go.

Hearing this, Ivan shook his head secretly.

Barty Crouch probably knew that the Dark Mark matter was related to his child Crouch Jr., but he still wanted to blame Harry and Sirius for the matter.

It has to be said that this upright and hateful former director of the Executive Department, in order to protect his children in compliance with his beloved wife's last wish, has turned into the most annoying person he once was.

Ivan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and continued to ask for more details without stopping.

As we chatted all the way, the train continued to drive north, and the rain became heavier and heavier. The sky was dark and the car windows were covered with moisture, so the magic lights were lit in broad daylight.

Such bad weather happened just after school started, which ruined the good mood of many little wizards. Ivan looked out the window faintly, and big raindrops fell from the sky. Lightning struck from time to time in the dark clouds, and there was a burst of sound. There was a violent roar.

Harry, Ron and Hermione stopped mentioning those bad past events at this time, and instead speculated on what Bill and Charlie were secretly hiding.

Several people guessed for a while, but they all felt it was wrong, so Harry turned to look at Ivan, who had not participated in the discussion.

"Ivan, what do you think?"

"Guess what this is for? Don't you know it when you go to school? The joy of life lies in the unknown!" Ivan yawned and replied casually.

He had known for a long time that the Triwizard Tournament would be held this year, but he didn't have a suitable source to tell Harry and others, but he couldn't pretend to be ignorant and just guess.

Harry and Ron looked at each other, and Hermione looked at Ivan suspiciously. She felt that Ivan must know something and was deliberately hiding it from them.

Woo woo

The Hogwarts train made a long blast, interrupting everyone's thoughts. The speed of the train beneath them gradually slowed down, and the towering castle in the distance was vaguely visible.

Apparently, they're almost there!

"Let's go!" Ivan stood up, packed his luggage and walked out of the carriage with Harry and others. When they reached the exit, the train stopped.

It was raining heavily outside, so Ron got out of the car first and used the hem of his wizard robe to cover the owl's cage so that the rain would not drip onto his new pet.

"This weather is really bad!" Ron complained.

Ivan stopped Hermione who was about to get out of the car, jumped out of the car first, took out his wand and transformed it into a big umbrella, then looked at the little witch and said.

"You can come down now!"

"Transfiguration, why did I forget this!" Hermione muttered to herself in annoyance, but did not refuse Ivan's kindness. She got out of the car and shrank her body into Ivan's umbrella.

After such a long interval just now, coupled with Ivan's gentlemanly behavior, her anger was somewhat relieved.

"Wait, what should I do?" Seeing that Ivan and Hermione seemed to be preparing to leave together, Harry, who was still in the car, couldn't help but remind them.

Ron, who was still wet in the rain, was even more confused. If he had known that Ivan could transform into an umbrella, he would have come down later.

Ivan turned his head and realized that he had forgotten Harry and Ron. He patted his forehead with his free right hand and wanted to expand the umbrella so that Harry and Ron could come in together.

However, before Ivan could make any move, Hermione stared at Harry and Ron and spoke. "Professor McGonagall has taught you the art of transfiguration for three whole years. Can't you transform into an umbrella yourself?"

After saying that, Hermione grabbed Ivan's wrist and pulled him away with her.

Harry and Ron were left shivering in the cold wind and heavy rain.

"Hermione made a mistake, it's not like we forgot to send her a letter," Ron complained in dissatisfaction.

"Forget it, let's do it ourselves!"

Harry shook his head, donated a coat, and used the Transfiguration spell with Ron. After a while of tinkering, he finally conjured up an irregular umbrella. The color was divided into several large pieces, and it looked like it was made of tree branches. Holding a rag.

But Harry and Ron didn't mind it, as long as this thing could protect them from the rain, they were satisfied.

The two struggled to hold their umbrellas and ran along the path of Hogwarts Station to the carriage parked on the roadside. They finally caught up with Ivan and Hermione and took the carriage back to school together.

The carriage passed through the gate with winged boar sculptures on both sides and drove along the spacious driveway. The carriage was swaying in the roaring wind.

Ivan stared ahead through the thin rain curtain. The quaint and elegant castle was getting closer and closer, and many brightly lit windows could be seen dimly shining behind the thick rain curtain.

About ten minutes later, the carriage stopped at the foot of the stone steps in front of the two oak doors. Ivan and the others got off the carriage one by one and walked towards the entrance of the castle. They could still vaguely hear strange screams and noises coming from ahead.
