Section 355

"I am completely unwilling to cooperate with the work of the Ministry of Magic, and yet I still say it so grandly!" He thought bitterly, feeling that his head seemed to be getting more and more awake.

After a few more curses and vents, he let out a long sigh and said, "At least this time the matter has been concealed... What should we do next?"

He thought of what he had said before exiting the fireplace, "It seems that this is the only way to do it... let the dementors patrol more frequently..."

Based on this idea, he summoned a Ministry of Magic employee through a paper airplane and told him the next steps.

The staff of the Ministry of Magic looked a little ugly, "Is this really okay? Because of the previous restrictions, the Aurors have reported to us that the dementors seem to be getting more and more restless..."

Cornelius Fudge raised his eyebrows, "Just use the Patronus Charm to deal with them. Haven't I already sent more manpower, isn't that enough to deal with them?"

"Okay!" The staff of the Ministry of Magic nodded and could only barely respond...

Chapter 193 Sirius Black from Filch

After returning to Hogwarts, Weizet went straight to the principal's office.

Halfway there, he happened to meet Argus Filch, the caretaker of Hogwarts.

Filch's face was full of exhaustion, and he was walking more hobbled than usual. He was holding Mrs. Norris in his arms. He was obviously a nocturnal animal, but he had no energy at the moment, and his belly was heaving and he was napping.

When Weizet appeared, Mrs. Norris straightened her tail, glanced at him, and then fell back into Filch's arms to continue dozing.

"Vizet, why are you here?" Filch walked up quickly and asked with wide eyes, "It's not peaceful tonight! It's too dangerous outside!"

"Mr. Filch, thank you for your concern!" Wizette nodded, "What exactly happened?"

"Sirius Black..." Filch swallowed, seeming a little frightened, "that notorious fugitive! He broke into Hogwarts!"

"He went straight to the Gryffindor common room without anyone noticing... Fortunately, the Fat Lady firmly fulfilled her responsibility and did not let the fugitive sneak into the common room."

"That's a crazy guy. The Fat Lady wouldn't let him in, so he actually destroyed the portrait... I searched for a long time on the third floor before I finally found her specific location."

Weizet asked: "Mr. Filch, did the Fat Lady say anything?"

"What did she say..." Filch tried to remember. "She said Sirius Black was a madman and kept threatening and cursing her, asking her to open the door..."

"The Fat Lady has repeatedly refused... Maybe Sirius Black was impatient and destroyed the portrait directly. He probably planned to break into the common room directly."

"The Fat Lady doesn't know what happened next. When she saw Sirius Black attacking, she ran away... That's pretty much it."

…

"I see..." Weizet groaned, "Are you so impatient?"

Filch sighed, "I know Sirius Black as well as he knows this castle!"

"We have not found any trace of him. We really don't know where he is lurking. He is too familiar with this castle!"

"Is he familiar with this place?" Weizet frowned slightly, "Mr. Filch, do you think he knows that tonight... is the day for the Halloween dinner?"

"I think he knows!" Filch yawned. "Otherwise, he wouldn't want to take this opportunity to sneak into the common room... maybe he just wants to ambush!"

"I read in the Daily Prophet that Sirius Black's target was Harry Potter, so I think his purpose in sneaking in was also Harry Potter!"

Wizette responded thoughtfully: "Is that so?"

"Yes! But Sirius Black has gone crazy, so he is angry." Filch nodded and yawned again.

"I really don't know what will happen next...whether the school will be closed down because of this person...I don't want Hogwarts to be closed down!"

"Mr. Filch, don't worry!" Weizet comforted, "Sirius Black has left... This is the accurate news I got from Principal Dumbledore."

"I hope so!" Filch yawned again, "Vizet, you'd better go back to the auditorium quickly! Get some sleep early and you'll be fine tomorrow!"

"I told Dumbledore the location of the secret passage that I know about. He should make proper arrangements. When Sirius Black wants to come in again, it will definitely not be that easy!"

Seeing Filch clearly looking tired but still trying to comfort him, Wizette nodded and said, "Mr. Filch, you should go to bed early!"

He had intended to provide a little soul soothing agent for Filch to use as incense to help improve the quality of sleep;

But Filch declined. He didn't want another accident to happen to the castle because he was too asleep, and he wouldn't be able to arrive at the scene as soon as possible.

For him, this castle is not just a workplace, but also his home, a place where he, as a Squib, can interact with the magical world;

As a squib, he knew the entrances and exits of many secret passages. Even if Fred and George held the Marauder's Map and traveled through these secret passages, he could always find them in the first place;

Perhaps it was because of this feeling that Filch knew the castle so well.

----------------------------------------

"Did the initial screening and assessment go well?" Dumbledore was the first to speak when Wizette entered the principal's office, "Sending you a message at that time shouldn't have affected you, right?"

"It was not affected." Weizet said while sitting in his seat, "But when I was going to the assessment square, I met a wizard..."

"I felt the Dark Mark on that wizard's body. In order to avoid arousing suspicion, I didn't follow him immediately. I thought he was also a contestant..."

He briefly described the time when it happened and the wizard's clothing.

Dumbledore picked up a bunch of beard and stroked it gently, "It was a wise move not to follow rashly. We are not sure whether he is a Death Eater who luckily escaped punishment, or..."

Wizette followed Dumbledore's words and asked tentatively: "A wizard who was bewitched by Voldemort and began to work for him?"

"Yes! Such an example exists!" Dumbledore nodded, slightly turning his gaze to look at the drawer aside, "The current principal of Durmstrang is a former Death Eater..."

"Of course! We can't rule out that there is actually some kind of connection between these two things... After all, it happened so close at the same time. It's such a coincidence that it's hard not to make people suspicious."

He continued: "The 'All-British Wizarding Duel Competition' has been held for so many times, and now the protection measures are very complete..."

"It may be difficult to investigate a contestant clearly. You don't need to worry about this matter for now. I will try to investigate it here."

Wizer nodded, "Since he is willing to go through the formal process and sign up for the duel competition, I think his ultimate goal should be those rewards."

"Since the ultimate goal is the championship reward, I think that we should meet in a duel in the future... As long as he is prevented from winning the championship, Voldemort's plan will not succeed."

"You're right, we happen to be well prepared!" Dumbledore smiled slightly, "What about Sirius Black? What do you think?"

"I actually met Mr. Filch on the way here," Weizet said. "From his words, I actually got some understanding of what happened before..."

Chapter 194 Blake can give everything

Weizet said: "Sirius Black's target should not be Harry...or in other words, the first target should not be Harry himself."

"If his first target is Harry, since he can sneak into Hogwarts quietly, there is no need to be exposed in the first place."

"He can continue to hide, find out Harry's whereabouts bit by bit, and finally find a suitable moment to kill Harry with one blow."

"I don't think he is an impatient person. After all, he has been in Azkaban for so long. Not only has he endured the influence of dementors, he can even escape..."

"And he escaped without alerting the Dementors and the guards... Principal Dumbledore, how credible is the Daily Prophet's report...?"

Dumbledore knew what Weizet wanted to ask, "At least regarding the reports on the safety of Azkaban, the Daily Prophet's reports can still be trusted."

"For most wizards, the impact of losing their wand is huge, let alone escaping silently... unless someone is acting as an inside agent."

"Or some external force can be used to forcibly break through the Dementors' blockade and create greater noise, allowing the prisoners to escape..."

"But judging from Cornelius Fudge's level of anxiety..." He let out a long sigh, "The possibility of 'internal involvement' should have been ruled out."

Weizet's thumb and index finger rubbed each other, "If you think about it... it's worth pondering what Sirius Black's first goal is..."

"The Fat Lady didn't let him enter the common room, but he still insisted on breaking in. This shows that the priority of this 'first target' is higher than whether he was exposed."

"Is it conceivable that as long as he gets this 'first goal', it will allow him to better achieve a certain purpose? For example... to better avoid being hunted by dementors?"

"After all, his current traces will still be exposed from time to time... In my opinion, Sirius Black, who has been exposed, actually has two ways to go."

"Either he chooses to flee England, try to travel to other countries, and continue to be hunted indefinitely...or he will make full preparations and try to sneak into Hogwarts again."

"In my opinion, there is only one possibility..." Dumbledore breathed out, "Sirius Black will come back... he will definitely come back!"

…

Weizet blinked, "Oh?"

"Members of the Black family..." Dumbledore sighed, "They are often strong-willed and able to dedicate everything they have...including their lives for something!"

"They may support different goals, but the methods they ultimately adopt are often strikingly similar. This is the Black family."

"Since you mentioned the 'first goal', it means that he is here for this goal. One exposure will not make him back down,"

"Even if he is controlled by the Dementors... Even if he is about to be executed by the Dementors... He will not retreat in the slightest..."

"Even if the Dementors are depriving him of his soul, as long as he can still move, he will make a final struggle to get the 'first goal'!"

Thinking of this, Dumbledore suddenly realized something.

It was because he knew the character of the members of the Black family that he did not investigate the real reason why Sirius Black betrayed.

Perhaps... something went wrong in the middle, which led to a series of tragedies?

...

While Dumbledore was thinking, Vizet was also thinking about the problem of Sirius Black;

Since Dumbledore's tone was so certain that Sirius Black would return to Hogwarts, he had to take precautions;

Avoid creating some absolutely unnecessary accidents when Sirius Black appeared in Hogwarts again.

"As expected, we still need to take the initiative to find Sirius Black..."

"As expected, we still need to meet Sirius Black..."

Vizet and Dumbledore said similar things at this time.
