Chapter 69 Meeting at the Three Broomsticks

He rubbed his swollen temples, and Sirius asked in confusion: "Why are you working so hard? Dumbledore said that your strength is almost better than his."

"The mystery of magic is not something that your dog brain can understand."

Sirius didn't take Weiss's ridicule to heart. His mind was now on the upcoming Christmas, and his head was full of thoughts about what gift to give Harry.

Harry was knocked unconscious by the Dementors for a long time before he recovered. After being discharged from the hospital, he was also frightened by the Dementors disguised by Draco and others, which made Harry determined to learn the spell to deal with the Dementors.

He knew that Dumbledore and Weiss mastered the spell to deal with the Dementors. However, Dumbledore was too busy, and Harry could not find a suitable opportunity to ask for advice.

Wes was not familiar with him, but in order to overcome the fear in his heart, Harry still plucked up the courage and came to Weiss's office.

"Dong~Dong~, Professor Irwin, are you there?" Harry stood outside the door, feeling a little uneasy.

When Sirius heard Harry's voice, he immediately swallowed the food in two bites, and then quickly turned into a big black dog.

"Come in, the door is not locked."

After getting permission, Harry pushed open the door of the office, and the moment he opened the door, he saw Sirius rushing towards him. "Hi~Black Tiger," Harry touched Sirius affectionately, "Look what I brought you."

Harry took out a piece of steak wrapped in oil paper from his schoolbag: "The steak for lunch today tastes great, I think you will like it."

Sirius smelled the aroma of steak and wagged his tail excitedly. Although he had just eaten a piece of steak, he still finished the steak brought by Harry in two or three bites.

While stroking Sirius' tail, Harry asked Weiss carefully: "Professor Irwin, can you tell me what magic you used to drive away the Dementors?"

"You mean the Patronus Charm?"

"The Patronus Charm?" Harry repeated the charming name excitedly, "Is this the spell you and the headmaster used?"

The spectacular scene of Headmaster Dumbledore casting the Patronus Charm on the Quidditch field involuntarily emerged in his mind, and the powerful magic power made him fascinated.

However, Weiss's next words extinguished Harry's expectations.

"It is difficult to learn the Patronus Charm. It takes a long time and a lot of practice..."

Harry's mood changed from expectation to disappointment, and he buried his head silently. He thought he could easily learn this powerful spell, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult.

Sirius saw Harry's disappointment and barked anxiously. He turned around Harry, as if he was defending Harry, and seemed to urge Weiss to find a way to help Harry.

Weiss kicked Sirius lightly, signaling him to be patient.

"I really don't have time," Weiss pointed to the pile of books on the table. The books were piled up like a mountain. "But you can find Professor Lupin. As far as I know, Professor Lupin is also good at the Patronus Charm."

Wess's words made Harry's face turn from worry to joy. He raised his head and looked at Weiss with hope. "Professor Lupin? Does he really know the Patronus Charm?"

Wess nodded, "Well, Professor Lupin is very good at this spell. And he has rich experience and can teach you how to use the Patronus Charm correctly."

"But Professor Lupin's health doesn't seem to be very good..." Lupin was Harry's favorite professor this semester. He remembered Professor Lupin's pale face and weak body.

"Don't worry, I think he will be happy to teach you." Weiss's words made Harry feel much more at ease. Although he was still a little uneasy, he still went to find Lupin happily.

Sirius followed Harry happily. He was a little full after eating, so he went out to exercise.

——

Soon, the anticipated Christmas came again.

Weiss had planned to study the voodoo magic he got from Blackbeard in the office, but Dumbledore dragged Weiss to Hogsmeade without saying anything.

Because the Dementors were recalled by the Ministry of Magic, Hogsmeade has regained its former bustling scene.

The streets are bustling with laughter. People's faces are filled with festive joy, as if the terrible Dementor invasion had never happened.

The shop windows are newly decorated, colorful lights are flashing, and the Christmas tree is full of various decorations. Everything looks so warm and harmonious.

Dumbledore took Weiss to the Three Broomsticks Bar, where the mellow taste and unique aroma of butter beer made Weiss remember it vividly.

"Long time no see, Mrs. Rosmerta." Dumbledore greeted with a smile.

Mrs. Rosmerta greeted Dumbledore with a kiss on the cheek: "Dumbledore, long time no see." She greeted Dumbledore warmly, as if she had met an old friend who had been reunited after a long absence.

Turning around and seeing Weiss, she was a little uncertain, "Are you the very smart Ravenclaw student?" Mrs. Rosmerta looked at Weiss carefully. After a few years, Weiss's temperament had changed a lot. He was no longer the immature student.

"Hello, Mrs. Rosmerta, I have always missed your butter beer after graduation." Although it was just a polite remark, Mrs. Rosmerta was still very happy.

Dumbledore led Weiss to the private room and said, "Fudge will be here later."

"Oh, what day is today." Mrs. Rosmerta exclaimed exaggeratedly, "The greatest white wizard and the Minister of Magic are meeting in my little shop."

A perfect post, content, and book in 16-9!

"Maybe they are discussing how to rule the British wizarding world." Dumbledore winked mischievously, and Mrs. Rosmerta laughed. She knew Dumbledore was joking, but it also made the atmosphere more relaxed.

No matter what Dumbledore and Fudge discussed, it had nothing to do with her, the owner of the tavern. Mrs. Rosmerta smiled and left the private room, leaving Dumbledore and Weiss alone waiting in the private room.

Soon, Fudge and his assistant Umbridge came to the private room. Fudge started complaining as soon as he came in: "You have caused me a lot of trouble."

"The Dementors are to blame," Dumbledore refuted Fudge mercilessly, "Sirius being wronged is a major mistake of the Ministry of Magic."

Fudge didn't expect Dumbledore to be so disrespectful to him, and his face became a little ugly.

The invasion of the Quidditch field by the Dementors completely angered Dumbledore, and he was no longer so friendly to Fudge, which made Fudge a little embarrassed.

It was Umbridge who took over Dumbledore's words, which made Fudge less embarrassed. Umbridge had a flattering smile on her face, and she tried to ease the atmosphere so that the conversation between the two sides could continue.

She whispered: "Professor Dumbledore, we understand your concerns very well, and Minister Fudge also attaches great importance to this issue. We are willing to listen to your suggestions and will take action as soon as possible."

Umbridge's words gave Fudge a breath, and Dumbledore also slowed down his tone.

Wes didn't say a word throughout the whole process, just watching Dumbledore and Fudge arguing and bargaining.

He was like a bystander, calmly observing a wonderful chess game.

The argument between Dumbledore and Fudge lasted for a while, but in the end the two sides reached a certain consensus.

The Ministry of Magic will cancel the wanted order for Sirius, but Sirius can only be officially cleared of the charges after Peter Pettigrew is interrogated.

In short, everyone is satisfied on the surface.
