Chapter 312 The Unacceptable Truth

"These two bad guys, they never mentioned the Marauder's Map to me." Ron said with an unhappy face, "I am their brother!"

"Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, Prongs..." Aaron couldn't help smacking his lips, "The magic world is really full of talents. They must have walked every inch of Hogwarts to make this map.

If nothing unexpected happens, they should all be Gryffindors. Only Gryffindors would make such a map."

"You call this being bored?" Ron looked at Aaron dissatisfiedly, "This is clearly a genius idea. With this map, Filch and Snape can't catch us."

"Harry won't keep it. He will give the map to Professor McGonagall."

Poof!

Aaron couldn't help laughing, "Hermione, the Marauder's Map is a treasure to some extent. If it were me, I would never hand it over.

Imagine if a dedicated professor could know the location of students at any time and anywhere, then..."

"That's terrible." Ron said with lingering fear, "Harry, you must not hand over this map, even if it is destroyed, just for... for Gryffindor."

Hermione hesitated to speak, but remained silent after all.

She didn't want her location to be exposed under the teacher's eyes all the time, it was too awkward.

"I won't hand it over." Harry said, "This was stolen from Filch's office by Fred and George. If I hand it over, I have to explain its origin.

In addition, if I hand over the map, I will definitely not be able to hide the fact that I ran away."

"What about the secret passages?" Hermione said a little uneasily, "Sirius must have entered Hogwarts through the secret passages, otherwise the Dementors would not have failed to find him."

"There are seven secret passages in Hogwarts. Filch knows four of them. Of the remaining three, one has collapsed, one is guarded by the Whomping Willow, and the other is... the one I just used." Harry stopped talking, because he didn't know whether Sirius knew about this secret passage.

"No problem for now." Aaron pointed to a message on the bulletin board. "Every day at sunset, there will be Dementors patrolling the streets of Hogsmeade until Sirius Black is arrested.

Even if he knows this secret passage, the Dementors will not give him a chance. As for the daytime... I don't think he should have the courage to show up openly!

But just in case, you should stay in school and don't go out casually."

Harry nodded silently. He should be content to be able to go out once on Christmas. After all, there is no signature on his permission form.

At this time, several people appeared at the door of the Three Broomsticks (pub), namely Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick, Hagrid and Cornelius Fudge.

"Oh!" Aaron said speechlessly, "Your luck is really unmatched."

Harry shuddered subconsciously and quickly put on the invisibility cloak.

If the professors, vice-principals, forest wardens, and the Minister of Magic of Hogwarts saw him here, detention would be the least of their punishment.

"Rosmerta, dear, I hope your business is booming." Fudge said to the proprietress of the Three Broomsticks.

"If your Ministry of Magic didn't let the Dementors come to search every other night, my business would be much better than it is now."

Fudge's face showed a trace of embarrassment, "We have a murderer on the run."

"Sirius Black came to Hogsmeade." Professor McGonagall said.

"But why did he come?"

"For Harry Potter." Fudge lowered his voice.

"Harry Potter?" Rosmerta's voice rose a few degrees, and Fudge and others immediately made a gesture of silence, and entered the bar a little nervously.

"Don't go." Aaron grabbed Harry Potter's left hand, "Your invisibility cloak may not be safe."

"Let me go, Aaron." Harry shook his arm hard, but his left hand was as hard to move as if it was pinched by a pair of pliers.

"Sirius came to kill me, I must find out, this is a good opportunity."

Aaron was silent for a moment and let him go.

A row of footprints appeared in the snow, and the door of the Three Broomsticks opened and closed automatically.

"You just let him in like that?" Ron looked at the row of footprints disappearing at the door of the Three Broomsticks in astonishment.

"What can I do?" Aaron sighed helplessly, "The ancestors once said that the facts must always be faced, no matter how bloody it is."

"What facts?" Hermione asked puzzled.

"I hope he doesn't know too much, otherwise his psychological quality may not be able to bear it." Aaron picked up Abe and sat on the bench at the door of the Three Broomsticks, "Wait, he will come out."

"But what if he is discovered?" Ron looked worried, "These are all big shots!"

"Don't worry." Aaron didn't care, "If he is discovered, who knows who will be embarrassed!"

"Aaron, what do you know?" Hermione asked, "What is the relationship between Sirius Black and Harry Potter."

Aaron was silent. It didn't matter how much he knew. What mattered was how much Harry Potter would know.

On the other side, Harry followed Rosmerta and the others up to the second floor of the bar.

Several professors and the Minister of Magic ordered a glass of their favorite drink and started chatting.

"Harry Potter's parents went into hiding many years ago when they found out they were being hunted, remember?" said Professor McGonagall. "No one knew where they were, but Black knew, and he told the mysterious man. "

"That night Black took the mysterious man to the Potter house and killed Peter Pettigrew." Fudge added.

"That pudgy boy?" Rosmerta said in surprise, "I seem to remember it."

“He’s always following Blake, and he’s inseparable from James and Blake.

Peter wanted to warn Potter's parents, and he might have succeeded, but he bumped into an old friend, Black. "

"Blake was vicious and vicious. He didn't kill Peter, but destroyed him." Fudge raised his right little finger, "With one finger, Peter only has one finger left."

"That's not the worst thing." Professor McGonagall sat down and said solemnly: "The worst thing is that Sirius Black was and still is Harry Potter's godfather."

...

Harry Potter didn't know that he had heard all this. He was still confused when he came out of the Three Broomsticks pub.

Hearing the door being opened and looking at the two rows of footprints in the snow, Aaron and the others followed him quietly without disturbing him.

Arriving at an open space, the three of them listened to the sound of crying coming from a stone and couldn't help but look at each other. This was the first time they had seen Harry Potter cry so miserably.

"Harry." Aaron asked hesitantly, "How much do you know?"

"Everything." Harry took off his invisibility cloak and looked at Aaron seriously, "Do you also know?"

"I only know a little bit, it was Draco who said it.

But I dare not tell you even this little bit. "Aaron spread his hands helplessly, "I'm afraid you'll fight Blake. "

"You should have told me." Harry said with red eyes, "You should not have stopped Malfoy at that time. I have the right to know this."

"Uh..." Aaron laughed, "Actually, I also thought about telling you, but you know, many people chose to hide it.

Several professors at the school, the Minister of Magic, and even Rubeus Hagrid, I don't think I can think more than them. "

"What are you talking about?" Ron asked confused.

Harry paused and told the three of them what he had heard that would shock the minds of ordinary people: the causes and consequences of his parents' death.

"That's why our family doesn't use the Loyalty Charm, and we never set up any secret keeper." Aaron said with a wry smile, "Gaius's most powerful talent may be making contracts. I used to think this was a sad thing. But now... I don’t think so anymore, at least the two parties will not be betrayed by each other. "

"Sirius should be my parents' best friend, but he betrayed them. What kind of friend is he?" Harry roared angrily, "I hope I can find him, I want to kill him."

"No, you can't do such a stupid thing." Hermione said hurriedly, "The Ministry of Magic will be responsible for this kind of thing, and the dementors will definitely capture him and put him in Azkaban.

You couldn't take any chances, that was playing into Blake's hands, and your parents wouldn't want you to. "

"Stop talking about my parents." Harry shouted. "When I was attacked by the dementors, I heard my father's voice. He asked my mother to take me away, and then my mother's plea. She begged Voldemort to let me go. .

I have never spoken to them. I finally heard their voices, but they were the screams before death.

If it were you, would you be able to bear it? "

"I can't bear it." Aaron told the truth, and then changed the subject, "But you have to endure it.

It's not me who makes the scenery worse. If you confront him, you will definitely die.

Sirius Black is a genius wizard. Even though he has been imprisoned in Azkaban for twelve years, it is not easy to kill a third-year wizard like you. "

"You...third-year wizards?" Ron looked at Aaron blankly, "I know you are better than us, but don't make it sound like you are not a third-year wizard."

"That's not important." Aaron waved his hand, "What's important is that Harry can't beat Sirius Black.

Moreover, he knows that Harry is in Hogwarts, knows the location of the Gryffindor common room, and can kill Harry if he can find an opportunity.

But what about Harry? There was no advantage at all, and the dementors took special care of him. "

"He has the Marauder's Map," Ron reminded in a low voice.

“Well, that’s the only advantage.

But you have to look at the map all the time, otherwise you won't even know when Black sneaks into Hogwarts. "

"I know." Harry held the Marauder's Map tightly and said firmly, "I will get familiar with this map as soon as possible. As long as I can do this, even if Black enters Hogwarts, he will grasp it." Not to me.

In addition, I will ask Professor Lupine to teach me the Patronus Charm. He was not feeling well before and could not teach me, but it should be fine after school starts. "
