Chapter 260 The Prisoner Who Escaped

Knockturn Alley seems to be noisier than usual these days.

The owners of those black magic shops seem to have reached a consensus at the same time.

Carrying tight packages in their hands, they kept shuttling between the shops and the streets.

The four of Malfoy have become acquainted a lot now, without the embarrassment and grudge they had at the beginning.

Even after the tutoring, they will meet at Florin's Cold Drink Shop to continue discussing each other's insights.

Cedric seemed absent-minded, and he randomly stirred the chocolate sundae in front of him, "Dad wants me not to come here for a while, it seems that Knockturn Alley has not been very peaceful recently."

Zhang Qiu frowned slightly, and asked in a softer voice than usual: "What happened? I also feel that Knockturn Alley seems a little strange. Those people seem to be planning to move."

Malfoy showed a smile, leaned back on the back of the chair, picked up the ice drink in front of him and stirred gently, "Cedric! It seems that the staff of the Ministry of Magic also have a lot of restrictions, I thought you should have known what happened !"

Neville coughed, straightened his posture and asked, "You can say whatever you want! Among the few of us, you have the best news."

If it was the beginning of the summer vacation, Neville and the others would definitely show disgusted expressions, and even get up and leave directly.

However, after getting along with each other for this period of time, they knew that Malfoy spoke with this character, and when they knew some secrets, they always liked to use this strange accent to insinuate.

In fact, Malfoy's tone is not strict. As long as he is flattering or nice, he can get a lot of news and secrets from Malfoy.

"Since you have already asked me, of course I have to talk about it!" Malfoy smiled slightly, and took a sip of his iced drink.

He shivered, then coughed lightly, and said in a low voice: "In fact, a major event happened in the Ministry of Magic, including the anomalies of those people in Knockturn Alley, all because of this event!"

"And because Minister Fudge is going to solve this matter secretly, the entire Ministry of Magic is in a state of secrecy and the news is blocked."

"There is such a thing?" The other three said in unison, with a bit of surprise in their eyes.

Cedric asked quickly: "If you say it now? Will the Ministry of Magic detect it?"

"I have learned about some advanced magic. I remember that there is a kind of magic that can recognize some key words. Once these key words are spoken, the caster will quickly get a prompt."

"It's okay! It's okay!" Malfoy waved his hand with an indifferent expression, "In three days at most, the Daily Prophet will report on this matter."

"Minister Fudge can no longer suppress this matter. He is even going to ask the Muggle world for help and ask the Muggle Prime Minister to help find someone together."

The three became even more curious, "What the hell is going on? The Minister of the Ministry of Magic is actually involved?"

Malfoy straightened his position, moved his body forward, and asked in a softer voice, "Do you know Sirius Black?"

"I know!" Neville nodded, "The man who betrayed Harry's parents even used a blasting spell to kill a wizard and twelve Muggles."

"I remember that the wizard who was killed was called Peter Pettigrew?" Cedric continued, "Peter seems to have been posthumously awarded the Order of Merlin, First Class."

Malfoy rang the table, saying every word very clearly: "Yes! That's the terrorist! He escaped from prison!"

"That prisoner escaped from prison?" The three gasped in unison, and looked around, as if they didn't want Malfoy's words to be heard by others, so as not to cause panic.

"What?" Malfoy crossed his arms, "Don't you trust me?"

"How could that be?" Cedric shook his head lightly, "I'm just curious, how did you know?"

Malfoy asked back: "Do you remember that Professor Kong asked us to practice hearing? So that we can better prevent attacks?"

"Minister Fudge just came to see my father that day, and wanted to get some news from him about Sirius Black..."

"Just right?" Neville asked strangely, "Such a coincidence? Did you do it on purpose or by accident?"

Malfoy held his head high, and replied in a resolute voice: "I did it on purpose! Usually Minister Fudge will come to my house, and I don't think they will talk about any confidential matters."

"So I listened to it on purpose. I didn't expect to hear such explosive news. It's really interesting!"

Cedric sighed worriedly: "I think this kind of thing should be done less, it's too dangerous!"

Malfoy looked disapproving, waved his hands and said, "What's the problem? And Professor Kong once told us that we must know how to make the best use of everything and learn how to use our abilities."

"Although what you said is very reasonable, I always feel that there seems to be something wrong." Neville laughed, "But Professor Kong did say that."

"You said...that prisoner who betrayed my parents has escaped from prison?" A voice suddenly appeared.

The four of Neville were a little surprised, "Harry? Why are you here?"

Harry pulled up a chair directly, sat next to Neville, and asked a series of questions.

"I'm staying at the Leaky Cauldron now, and I come over to do my homework when I have time. Who is that Sirius? Also, why are you all here? Even Malfoy is..."

"Because we are attending Professor Kong's tutoring! Pot!" Malfoy smiled, looking at Harry who was a little anxious.

"Speaking of which, Minister Fudge also mentioned about you, and used magic to inflate his aunt. Are people in Gryffindor so impulsive?"

Harry ignored Malfoy's taunt and continued to ask, "Who is Sirius? Did he kill my parents?"

Neville took up the conversation, and followed Harry's words: "You don't know Sirius Black? Oh... that's right! You've always lived with your Muggle uncle."

The four got together and told Harry everything about Sirius.

When Harry heard the news, his face flushed instantly, as if he wanted to find Sirius desperately.

Old God Malfoy looked at Harry from the ground, and said in a teasing tone: "Tsk tsk tsk... No wonder you ran away and inflated your aunt with magic. Look at how anxious you are to die!"

Neville also comforted Harry and said, "Harry! It won't be very peaceful these days, you must not make your own decisions! Think about your first grade!"

Cedric also nodded in agreement, "Yes! If Sirius escapes from prison, his first target is probably you! You must be careful!"
