Hogwarts Homecoming

"Oh, Crookshanks!"

Hermione rubbed the big ginger cat's head, her expression looked a little guilty, but she still smiled, "How's Hagrid doing, Crookshanks."

Meow--

Crookshanks licked his paw and rubbed his furry face against Hermione's hand.

Seeing that Crookshanks didn't blame herself at all, Hermione felt even more sad. She took a deep breath, as if trying to muster up her courage. Then, she turned her head to look at Ron,

"Ron, I think it's time for Crookshanks to go back to living in the castle, you can't"

In the middle of speaking, Hermione couldn't continue, because Ron had obviously understood her voice, and his face immediately became very ugly.

"You think—"

Harry stared at the little black dog who was a little uncomfortable, and said slowly,

"Where did Crookshanks find this dog?"

Because of Crookshanks, the atmosphere between Hermione and Ron became a bit delicate. Neither of them answered the question immediately. It was not until a long while later that Hermione blew her nose and said with suppressed emotion,

"It's hard to say, Harry, maybe Hagrid found Fang because he felt a little lonely."

"Maybe we can ask Hagrid," said Harry suddenly.

Both Ron and Hermione were looking at Harry, reacting unexpectedly to him, the little black dog squatting on the steps didn't seem very happy to go to Hagner, it turned around and was about to run away, but it looked like this , the sensitivity is obviously not as good as Harry's. As soon as it jumped down the steps, it was pinched by Harry's eyes and hands quickly, unable to move.

Harry threw the Firebolt caught under the creaking nest to Ron, and ran to Hagrid's hut on the edge of the Forbidden Forest with the black dog in his arms. Although Ron and Hermione were a little puzzled, they saw Harry like this. Resolutely, he could only run after him.

The closed door of the hut said everything. Harry looked a little disappointed, but he still looked around unwillingly, and found Fang playing with goblins in the grassland to the west of the hut.

"Hey, Fang!"

Harry greeted him loudly, and upon hearing his call, Fang immediately gave up playing with the hapless goblin, and ran over cheerfully with his tongue out.

"Where's Hagrid?" Harry patted Fangya's head, "Did you go to patrol the Forbidden Forest?"

Ya Ya shook his head, his eyes looked in the direction of the school gate.

"Looks like Hagrid's out—"

Ron and Hermione rushed out from behind at this moment. Seeing this scene, Ron shrugged needlessly.

"You seem to care about this dog, Harry?" Hermione asked a little strangely. "Is there something wrong with it?"

"I can't tell, Hermione—"

Harry was silent for a while, then he turned the black dog's head away, frowned and stared into its eyes and said,

"But I feel like I've seen it somewhere, well, it gives me a very familiar feeling."

"Maybe it's just your imagination, Harry—"

Ron played with the Firebolt thrown by Harry, and he glanced longingly at the smooth ash shaft of the broom and the immaculately trimmed branches, and said casually

"Or, you saw it in Hogsmeade, you know, the villagers living there like to keep dogs, not only to help with hunting, but also to look around the house or something—"

"You're right, Ron."

Harry pursed his lips, and put the terrified Sirius on the ground, now they are on the Hogwarts campus, if Harry really found any clues and howled twice, Sirius would not dare Determine whether it is Amostar who came fast, or the dementors who are sticking to the school gate, those terrible creatures will not listen to his explanation.

"So what do we do now, Harry, are you going to leave it here, or take it back to the castle?"

Hermione asked.

"forget it--"

After a brief thought, Harry shook his head. He didn't like dogs, and he didn't want to get himself a solitary sentence from Filch before the Quidditch match on the first weekend of school.

"Then let it stay here, Hagrid will take care of it," said Hermione. "It's Crookshanks' playmate."

The matter of this little black dog can only be regarded as a small episode for the three of Harry. Tomorrow is the first day of school, and most of their classmates at Hogwarts have returned to school, and Harry has finally returned to school. Using his own Firebolt, even if Black rushed into the castle at this time, he couldn't stop his good mood.

After Hermione handed Crookshanks over to Fang, the three of them turned their heads and walked like a castle, and Sirius, who was terrified by Harry, finally heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Harry drifting away. Dodging Yaya's protruding tongue, he looked at the Forbidden Forest where distant cries could be heard from time to time, his gray eyes revealed the excitement of regaining freedom.

I didn't notice that above the Hagrid's vegetable garden, a panoramic telescope with the same color as the air flapped its wings and hovered in the air. After seeing Harry return to the castle and Sirius leap into the Forbidden Forest, this panoramic telescope was like an eagle. After circling twice in the air, finally, a sharp upward rush flew towards the west tower!

The clouds roll and the clouds clear, the moon rises and the sun sets, in the dark castle, the bright candlelight shines through the window holes, together with the laughter wandering in the campus, it brightens the deep night together.

Tonight is the first night for all teachers and students to gather in the auditorium to celebrate since the Halloween night of last semester, and Dumbledore has not returned. good timing.

Scabbers squatted on the Marauder's Map early on. He had no interest in the castle full of people's names. His vigilant eyes only patrolled around the periphery of the map. The lights went out one after another, still nothing.

Could it be that Black really still gave up revenge on himself?

In the stillness of the night, Peter stared at the bright moon hanging high in the sky, and he couldn't help showing some confusion in his eyes.

No, it won't be like this!

But after a while, Peter said to himself again in his heart.

He knows what kind of guy Sirius is. People like him will never give up their ideas just because of difficulties. In the current situation, it is more likely that twelve years in prison have made Sirius even more forbearing. , no longer so rash and impulsive.

And the change of Sirius is undoubtedly dangerous for him.

Peter sighed, throwing away those 'naive' fantasies from his mind, he lowered his head and continued to examine the map.

Filch was wandering around in the corridor on the second floor, Snape left Remus's office and was descending from the foyer to Slytherin's underground space, Professor McGonagall was walking to his own office from the professor's bathroom , and Hagrid and Fang, who were patrolling the courtyard, were also preparing to return to the hut to rest.

Peter followed Hagrid and his dog back to the hut, and turned his head to look in the direction of the school gate, but suddenly, a name that suddenly appeared behind the hut made Peter's body startled, and his little black eyes suddenly burst into tears. naked!

The third floor of the castle, the security office.

Amosta, who was leaning on the back of the chair, looked at the only picture spliced ​​by hundreds of small screens on the opposite wall, with the corners of his mouth tilted up, showing a little smile,

"So, what are you going to do, Peter?"
