Hogwarts Homecoming

With a flash of illusory light, Amosta was released from the state of Apparition, not actively, but was forced out of the void by something.

"really--"

Looking at the bronze chain wall in front of him, and behind the chain wall, the turbulent flow of space like a river and the five-story small building floating above it, Amosta showed a satisfied smile.

The old house of the Black family is located in Grimmauld Square in the northwestern suburbs of London. It is far away from the Muggle downtown area and is in a quiet place, and this old house is protected by many ancient magic and defensive spells you can imagine. If there is no invitation from the host family, it is very difficult for outsiders to force their way in with their magical strength.

Amosta failed to enter here last time, not because he was helpless against the bronze chain wall dividing the world in front of him, but because he didn't know the coordinates of the mansion in space, even if he broke these defensive spells, He will also get lost in the turbulence of space, but now, there happens to be a guy in the house that he marked with magic that can act as a 'coordinate'.

——

Earlier, at the Shrieking Shack, Amostar had ulterior motives for letting Blake out of the house.

Because, since the last time he forced his way here to no avail, Amosta suddenly realized that this house matches his ideal place of residence quite well.

boom!

A heavy impact broke the silence in the darkness, and the mansion that had not been visited for twelve years finally welcomed back the only surviving direct descendant of the Black family.

Sirius fell to the ground, groaning weakly. Although he managed to escape the last powerful magic used by the young wizard named Amosta Bryan, he was not unscathed. The waves scraped across his upper body, easily breaking several of his ribs, and the most severe broken bones had pierced the skin, trickling blood dripping like a stream.

However, Sirius didn't pay attention to his injury, but looked at the old house in front of him with complicated eyes.

The air is filled with a damp and dusty smell, and there is also a lingering sweet and rotten smell. It seems that because of the sound of people entering, there is a row of old-fashioned air on the wall of the corridor connecting the door. The lamps were all on, casting a dangling, unreal light on the peeling wallpaper and the polished and ragged carpets of the long, gloomy corridors.

A cobweb chandelier shimmered overhead, and portraits, blackened with age and lack of protection, hung crookedly on the walls.

Sirius took a deep breath. When he saw those familiar decorations, unpleasant memories from the depths of his memory surged out again. He once vowed not to come back here, but now in order to save his life, he had to break it by himself. oath.

The memories of those years living here lingered in Sirius' mind like tarsal maggots, making his already gloomy expression even darker, but he knew that he couldn't spend too much time immersing himself in the bad memories of the past , otherwise, the chance of survival that was so hard won from Amosta Bryan will be wasted.

Excessive blood loss made Sirius turn pale, and the pain from the broken bone hit his consciousness one after another like a sea tide under the bright moon. Maybe the next moment, he would fall into a coma.

Gritting his dark yellow teeth tightly, Sirius crawled towards the wall, leaving shocking dark marks on the wooden floor covered with a layer of dust.

"Hiss, it's not easy to strike--"

Lifting off the prison clothes that had been rotted into strips, and following the yellow light from the gas lamp, Sirius took a breath, and finally saw how serious his injuries were.

Sirius raised his hand with difficulty, and the swirling wand and wand sprayed out wisps of white light. Under the cool light, the broken ribs retracted into the chest cavity again, and the wound glued together to leave a hideous scar.

After rough handling of his trauma, looking at the dilapidated mansion in front of him, Sirius let out a breath, supported the wall with his arms, and stood up with difficulty.

Because of the excessive bleeding, his cheeks were more sallow than before, and the whole person seemed to be breathing more than a mummy, resisting the fainting feeling that hit his consciousness, and the uncomfortable feeling that this old house brought him, Sirius staggered inside while leaning on the wall.

Now that he's back, there's no need to leave in a hurry. He needs to find some food for himself to replenish his energy, and by the way, think about how to carry out his plan.

The Head of Student Security at Hogwarts has found himself and found out that he is an illegal Animagus, so it would be foolish to try to infiltrate Hogwarts in the usual way afterwards, for James and The difficulty of Lily's revenge has suddenly increased a lot. In a short period of time, the only way Sirius can think of is to take advantage of the boy and his pet mouse to go home for the summer vacation, and then look for opportunities to strike.

And this also means that he has to wait another six or seven months to achieve his goal. This is an extremely painful torture for Sirius who dreams of revenge.

After thinking about it, Sirius sighed weakly and was extremely sad.

How on earth did Amosta Blaine end up at the Shrieking Shack tonight?

There are two possibilities. The first one is that the wizard finally remembered that Hogsmeade still kept his secret experimental base, and wanted to come back and have a look.

However, Sirius thinks that this possibility is not high, because the scary young wizard hasn't come back for more than two months, and there is a high probability that he doesn't want to use it anymore.

And the reason for his sigh was the second possibility—Amosta Bryan came here through the secret passage under the Whomping Willow.

In Hogwarts now, there is only one person who knows that he still has the ability to pass through that secret passage, and that is his best friend——Remus Lupine.

Ever since he went to Hogwarts on the night of the Halloween dinner, Sirius has been worried for some time. He knows that Remus is currently teaching at the school, and he is afraid that Remus will tell Dumbledore about the past, Reporting himself as an illegal Animagus, thus closing the secret passage under the Whomping Willow.

But in the days that followed, Sirius, who was constantly monitoring Hogwarts through Crookshanks, felt relieved.

Dumbledore hadn't sealed the secret passage, which meant that Remus probably didn't say anything to Dumbledore.

The reason for Remus's reaction, as his former best friend, Sirius himself could guess.

But now that Amosta Bryan came to the Shrieking Shack through a secret passage, and called out his name while he was still in a transformed state, Sirius had reason to believe that Remus had told the young man everything. people.

"Have you made up your mind to kill me, Remus?"

The already numb heart beating in the chest was filled with uncontrollable sadness, and a trace of sadness appeared on the skeleton-like cheek.

"This is all retribution—"

Sirius smiled miserably and whispered, his physical and mental strength were on the verge of limit, his feet suddenly went limp, his body collapsed involuntarily, and he slammed his head on the troll leg umbrella stand in front of the door leading to the basement kitchen at the end of the hall.

clatter——

Two velvet curtains full of insect eyes were pulled apart. On the portrait behind the curtains, the ugly old lady in a black hat suddenly opened her eyes. She looked at Sirius who was lying on the ground and gasping for breath, and took a deep breath. Tone, the next second, the terrifying, deafening, and creepy screams instantly awakened the mansion that had been sleeping for many years,

"You rebellious son!!!"
