Chapter 232 Ron: I Want Black's Bounty

On the Hogwarts Express.

Harry and his two friends, who hadn't seen each other for a whole holiday, gathered in a carriage and shared their summer experiences with each other.

Ron glanced at the front of the train and said to Hermione and Harry, "Did you notice that there is another carriage in front of the prefect's carriage? It should be the professor's carriage."

"I arrived a little early and saw Remus Lupin enter that carriage. When he arrived, he caused a sensation on the platform. Many students and parents asked him for autographs."

"You should call Professor Lupin, Ron," said Hermione. "It seems that he must be the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor."

"What I mean is," Ron said mysteriously, "Professor Lupin is a TV star, why would he want to be a professor?"

"Besides...he is a werewolf. What was Headmaster Dumbledore thinking by letting him be a professor? Isn't he afraid that the parents of the students will make a fuss?"

"Ron," Hermione rolled her eyes at Ron and said unhappily, "If you read the news more often, you should know that the wolfsbane potion has been invented for a whole year."

"As long as they take the wolfsbane potion on time, the werewolves can work normally. I think the headmaster took this into consideration and asked him to teach the Defense Against the Dark Arts class."

"Besides, we all met Professor Lupin on Harry's birthday last year. He seemed like a very gentle person."

"Of course I know Professor Lupin is very gentle," Ron scratched his head, "I just think that the wizarding world is very prejudiced against werewolves. If he comes to teach at Hogwarts, many parents will complain."

"He has worked hard to build up a good reputation through TV dramas. If a student's parent causes trouble, his reputation will be ruined."

"No matter how you look at it, it's not a very good choice for him to teach at Hogwarts."

Harry shook his head slightly. "On my birthday this year, Professor Lupin told me that he had agreed to Headmaster Dumbledore's request last year, so he deliberately turned down all filming plans."

"He actually sacrificed a lot. After all, he can earn more money by filming TV than by being a professor."

"By the way, Harry," Hermione said with curiosity, "Did you have a happy birthday this year? What did you do for special training during the summer vacation?"

"I had a great birthday. Thank you for the gifts. As for the special training, Professor Snape taught me how to make the Buffy Brain-Refreshing Potion at the beginning of the holiday."

Before she could finish her sentence, Hermione screamed, "Buffy Brain-Wake-Up Potion?!"

"I read in a book that it is a very advanced potion that can improve a person's memory, but the brewing process is very difficult."

"It is said that only a potion master can brew this kind of potion."

"You've even started learning the Bafey Brain Refresher Potion. My God, I'm so far behind you in potions."

"I haven't succeeded perfectly yet," Harry waved his hands modestly, "but my potion-making skills have improved a lot."

"I can teach you the techniques I learned."

"The Buffy Brain-Refreshing Potion brewed by Professor Snape is perfect. After I drank a portion of the potion, my memory has indeed improved a lot."

"Improve memory?" Ron's curiosity was overflowing. He looked at Harry with jealousy on his face.

"Honestly Harry, I've always suspected that you and Professor Snape have some special relationship, otherwise why would he be so nice to you?"

That's a magic potion that can improve memory!

If possible, he would also like to have a drink.

"Tell me quickly, what does it feel like after your memory improves?"

"It feels like I've learned things much faster. I can remember those complicated potion formulas completely after reading them twice."

"Of course, this potion also has some side effects." Harry's face gradually darkened.

The rain outside the window suddenly became heavier. The car windows were covered with rain and became gray, just like Harry's mood.

"Things that I don't want to remember will pop up in my mind from time to time."

"For example, a wanted poster for Sirius Black."

"Sirius?" Hermione's face was full of worry. "Harry, you said in your letter that Sirius was coming for you. What exactly is going on? Can you tell me in detail?"

"He betrayed my parents and joined the mysterious man. Now he is out to kill me and seek credit from his master."

Hermione's expression instantly became serious, her brows furrowed. "Harry, this is no small matter. You must be very careful. If you ask me, you'd better not even go to Hogsmeade before you catch him."

"I'm not afraid of him. I hope he comes looking for me," Harry said bitterly. "Professor Snape taught me a very powerful spell. I practiced it very hard this summer just to catch him."

Ron showed a confident smile, patted Harry on the shoulder and said, "I support you. I believe you can defeat him."

Hermione quickly interrupted Ron's optimistic attitude, her voice stern, "Ron, don't be silly! Sirius is not an enemy that underage wizards like us can deal with."

"Even the Muggle world is reporting on his escape, which is enough to show how dangerous he is."

"We definitely won't let Harry fight alone," Ron said confidently. "The two of us will help him. If we meet Sirius, the three of us can attack him together. Maybe we can beat Sirius down directly."

"You know, Harry has been receiving special training from Professor Swann. His strength is not comparable to that of ordinary students. With the two of us helping him, Sirius will definitely be in trouble."

"When the time comes, we can catch him and exchange him for a bounty from the Ministry of Magic. Wouldn't that be perfect?"

Hermione glared at Ron in dissatisfaction, as if she was glaring at a fool.

Ron seemed unaware of Hermione's look. He lifted Harry's arm and said to Hermione, "Harry is fully equipped. Look at his sleeves. Even the buttons on them are protective gear."

"In addition, Harry also has many different alchemical protective items, such as a vest made of basilisk skin that can resist most spells."

"I dare say that with this set of protective gear, even if Sirius hits him, he will take him a long time to fight."

"There's an old saying in the magic world that gold galleons represent combat power."

Just as they were arguing, the train began to slow down, the sound of the wheels gradually faded, and the sound of wind and rain hitting the windows was so loud that it was distracting.

Suddenly, the train stopped suddenly and in the distance there was the sound of luggage falling from the rack.

Then all the lights went out and the carriage fell into complete darkness.

As a black shadow flew past the window, the rain on the car window began to condense into ice and the temperature in the car dropped sharply.

"There's a problem, everyone be careful!" Harry felt a palpitation, he drew out his wand vigilantly, and used the fluorescent charm to dispel the darkness in the carriage.

"Get your wands out. I'm going to go out and see what's going on."

At this moment, the sliding door of the carriage slowly opened, and a figure covered in a black cloak stood outside the door.

Seeing Harry standing, the figure began to breathe towards him.

In an instant, a biting chill came over him, as if penetrating his skin and freezing his heart.

enemy!

Must fight back!

Long-term training made Harry raise his wand subconsciously.

Without hesitation, he used the most powerful spell he had learned so far.

"The Divine Edge is Shadowless!"
