Hagrid sent Harry through the oak door like he was escorting a prisoner, and then staggered away. It seemed that the drunkenness was not over yet.
He whispered to Harry for a long time, which probably meant - don't leave the castle, it's the safest place here, etc...
Harry knew why, but he didn't understand why the man was chasing him, so he wanted to ask his friends.
There was still some time before the curfew, so he brought Sur and the others into a small room with a somewhat depressed expression.
"Why does everyone want to kill me?" he said. "Why does that Black keep staring at me? How did he escape from Azkaban?"
Hermione looked confused, "Who is Black?"
"Didn't I tell you?" Harry knocked his head and looked at Su and Hermione, who were next to each other. "Exactly, I'm telling you now, do you still remember when I was at your house during the summer vacation? The wanted criminal you saw on TV? Soul."
Soul nodded, "Murderer Black."
"Wait a minute, isn't that Black a Muggle? My dad has his wanted information in the newspaper."
"He is a dark wizard." Ron curled his lips. "Because it was too dangerous, the Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, asked the Muggle Prime Minister to cooperate in the hunt. My dad has been busy with this all summer vacation."
"Ron is right, that Black, his target is me." Harry nodded.
"Then why did he have to kill you?" Hermione was still confused.
"Good question." Harry frowned, "I don't know why he wanted to kill me. Before getting on the train, I asked Ron's father, but they all kept silent about it, as if it was a terrible thing. .”
"Obviously, Black is a loyal subordinate of... the mysterious man. You killed the mysterious man. Of course they will find ways to avenge their master." Ron spoke again, "The night before we go to Diagon Alley to pick you up. , I went downstairs to look for Banban, and when I passed my parents’ bedroom, I heard them arguing.”
"Is...is that so?" Harry looked at Ron, who nodded with great conviction.
"Many people know that Black is one of the loyal subordinates of the mysterious man, and so is the Malfoy family. It is just unclear how they avoided the Ministry of Magic's pursuit. For a while, my father has been trying to find out from the Malfoy family Some proof that you know about this, Harry."
"I understand." Hermione also spoke, "No wonder the Ministry of Magic sent dementors here, and Hagrid looks very nervous."
It's wrong, it's all wrong, it's a complete mess.
Soul shook his head secretly. He did not deny Harry's and his others' speculations, nor did he acknowledge them out loud, leaving them to guess.
The main reason is that the truth of that year has always been under the water. No one except the person involved knows what happened that day. Suer doesn't know whether Dumbledore knows the truth, or that he is secretly involved in everything in this year. .
He didn't intend to tell Harry the truth of the matter at this time. His empty talk and unfounded conjectures could never win people's trust.
When the time is right, everything will suddenly become clear.
However, this does not mean that he can't do something secretly, such as letting Harry know something in advance, or - giving Ron's cherished pet, Peter Pettigrew, a harsh lesson. In any case, this despicable Villain, really annoying.
……
At noon the next day, when Su Er returned to the auditorium with his roommates, a group of lower-grade wizards were extremely excitedly discussing their Defense Against the Dark Arts class that had just passed at the dining table, bragging about their achievements in the class. Show courage.
It sounds like Professor Lu Ping gave them a very good experience. Of course, Lu Ping is not the two half-assed professors from the previous two years. He has real skills.
Although I don't have much respect for Professor Quirrell, who has turned into a scumbag, at least Professor Quirrell was somewhat capable before carrying his boss on his back.
All in all, Old Bee finally did something good.
"Okay, does anyone know what a Boggart is?" Professor Lupine had a smile on his pale face. He looked at the little wizards in the audience, but his eyes seemed to remain on Soul.
Lupine remembered that this little wizard, a third-year student, used the Patronus Charm on the train and sunk a dementor to death. This was something he had never heard of.
'The Bones family...' Lupine recalled what Dumbledore had said when he specifically came to talk to him before the start of school. This year, not only Harry, there was also a young wizard who deserved attention.
"A Boggart is a shape-shifting thing. It likes to stay in dark and closed spaces. When it sees you, it will turn into the thing you fear most." A little Ravenclaw witch answered Jiansheng .
"Yes, I don't think I can make it clearer than you." Professor Lupine nodded with a smile, "Ravenclaw plus five points."
The little witch flushed with joy.
"I think everyone should know what dark creatures we are going to be exposed to in this practical class." Lu Ping looked at everyone with gentle eyes, raised his hand and gently knocked on the cabinet in front of everyone.
The cabinet immediately began to shake, and the cabinet was violently banged backwards. Everyone was startled.
Lu Ping saw several classmates jumping back in shock.
"Don't worry," he said calmly, "there's a Boggart inside, somewhere between life and death, a non-being that feeds on the wizard's fear."
Everyone obviously found this to be more frightening. The students still had fresh memories of the incident last school year when Lockhart released a group of elves and was unable to deal with it.
"Actually, there is no need to be afraid at all. The Boggart is not dangerous. On the contrary, we have a big advantage in front of it." Professor Luping said, "Does anyone know why?"
"Is it because there are so many of us?" a young wizard raised his hand and asked.
"That's right, if there are too many people, the boggart won't know what it will turn into. It will keep changing into various forms. Often the things that a wizard is afraid of may not make him fearful in the eyes of others." Professor Lupine smiled and nodded,
"Of course, when we face the Boggart alone, we have a simple way."
"What can I do?" asked a brave little wizard.
"This requires the use of the magic spell we are going to learn today." Professor Luping took out his wand and shook it gently towards everyone, "It is a very simple magic spell that we can easily learn, but this magic spell is The power depends on the will of the wizard."
"You know, the Boggart's biggest weakness is laughter. We need to force it to become a hilarious image."
"Next, take out your wand and practice this spell with me. The spell is... funny and funny. Note that your wrist should be slightly angled at this place."
The little wizards took out their wands. Speaking of which, this was the first time they used wands in the Defense Against the Dark Arts course.
"Funny." The whole class shouted together.
He whispered to Harry for a long time, which probably meant - don't leave the castle, it's the safest place here, etc...
