Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 229 The Boy Who Survived Two Major Disasters
Although he had been mentally prepared for the interview with Professor Highmore, Harry found that he still underestimated Professor Highmore's ability.

Unknowingly, among the owls that flew to Hogwarts, there were not so many condemning letters, but they were all changed to other purposes——

That is the famous Harry Potter!

Gryffindor dorms.

"why!"

"Why has no one ever told us that the great savior lived in such a mess - living in a cupboard under the stairs - can you imagine that there are still wizards who need to live in such a humble way?! I have never heard of things It's as bad as this—huh?"

Ron, who was trying to imitate his tone, frowned, and said dissatisfiedly: "This person seems to be an admirer of Grindelwald, let me see the wizard supreme - yes, only those people can talk like that. It's really bad , or should I read another one?"

He pointed to the pile of letters and packages next to the sofa. Fred unwrapped a large mysterious gift, and took out a large bottle of glass balls, which were colorful and shining beautifully.

"Crush stars." He winked at Harry and said, "It is said that as long as you make each star by yourself and give it to the person you like, you can get the other person's crush—I dare say, I am sending you this package It's got to be a girl, Ginny's going to have a rival - no -"

George was surprised: "What's the matter? Could it be that the person who sent it was a boy? Wow, another pair of Dark Lord and White Wizard, let me witness your love with my own eyes-by the way, which one do you want to choose? Black The devil? Or the white wizard?"

"Be quiet." Harry reminded, the twins are the only two active people in the castle - according to their words, since there is no way to avoid it, then don't worry about it at all, there are many things to worry about , I can't finish it in a lifetime.

However, Harry is not worried that these letters of sympathy will be read by others, because Professor Highmore has clearly said that he will personally check every letter and package, which is a necessary means in special times, and there may be some small ones among them. Smuggled by Sirius.

No idea where Sirius is hiding.

Harry learned a lot from Professor Highmore, and despite his poor description of Sirius, Harry couldn't help but have good hopes for Black—his godfather, the best friend of his parents. close friend.Perhaps it can also be regarded as his closest family member in this world.

This is, George has seen the contents of that letter.

"No wonder you shouted so—" Fred raised the letter and said, "It's all written in Russian—is there any student in the school who understands Russian?"

"Now we need three more languages." Ron said, pointing to the envelope he had just opened, and frowning as he read a new letter in his hand: "What language is this written in? You seem to have Veela wannabe, Harry—no, the man's English isn't very good. Let me take a good look, he says he's from Dems—"

"Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry?" Neville also walked over curiously and asked, "It is said that the man from Nurmengadry graduated from this school—"

"To be precise, it should be expulsion." Dean said with a copy of the latest "Daily Prophet" in his hand: "The latest serial came out in the morning, haven't you read it?"

There are all kinds of letters to Harry, all kinds of letters-comforting, questioning, insulting and slandering, and some who think that what he said is true-in fact, Harry himself doesn't know whether it is true or not, because some He's heard a lot of it from Professor Highmore - including how popular Sirius was once, turned out to be the ghost he is now, and has to stay in the Ministry of Magic until his body stinks He rotted and refused to be buried.

On the night when this report appeared, the Ministry of Magic sternly stated through the "Daily Prophet" that they had kept Sirius' body well and guaranteed that it would not rot—however, this brought them more resistance— — Who told this to be caused by the mistakes of the Ministry of Magic?
Harry wanted to stay away from this dispute, but he also wanted to find Sirius as soon as possible. Otherwise, according to Professor Haimer, once Grindelwald's men found out that Sirius was not dead before them, his fate would be very serious. It is possible that death would be worse than life.

In the end, Harry endured all this silently. He asked Professor Haimer to return the high-value gifts that came along with him - some people even gave Harry gold directly, presumably thinking that he could not live well. A life of eating normally.But Harry couldn't accept the money with peace of mind,
While returning it, he would also write a thank-you letter, which was not many words, but Professor Haimer encouraged him to do so, otherwise it might lead to some misunderstandings.Wait for the same statement to Harry on "The Quibbler": Please do not send any valuables.Then these people should understand.

That being said, Harry found himself more popular than expected.

Of course, this is all thanks to Professor Haimer's superb shooting skills. His developing potion has a formula that he got from somewhere, which makes Harry in "The Quibbler" look lifelike, as if he will be drawn from the paper in the next second. Jumped out, held the reader's shoulders and shook violently, crying out in grief and indignation: "I'm so miserable! I'm really so miserable!"

This makes Harry extra sympathetic - especially in Europe.Harry never thought that his story would be so exaggeratedly sought after in Europe—it was sought after, and even some wizards would worship Harry.

This is really an interesting thing.

Before coming to the wizarding world, Harry was already worshiped by many wizards in England, calling him the Boy Who Lived.

Now, Harry, who hadn't been to Europe, was treated the same way.

Moreover, Mr. Al's embellishment made Harry's experience even more legendary-the boy who survived the attacks of two Dark Lords successively should be called the boy who survived the two catastrophes-Voldemort and Grindelwald , there are not many famous people who can survive against them.

One of them is the center of recent public opinion - Albus Dumbledore.

In fact, some readers have secretly worried in their letters that Harry will follow Dumbledore's old path-this makes Harry very angry-what is Dumbledore's old path?

Harry had asked Ron, and together they had gotten the answer from Hermione - obviously, under the Statute of Secrecy, obscurity was inherently forbidden - they were too easily exposed.But the entire magic world has no proper way to deal with Moran. If Ariana is really sent to the hospital, then what awaits her is almost a permanent sleep.

The healers won't wake up an Obscure, that would kill everyone who was watching over the Obscure.

This made Harry feel extremely sympathetic to Dumbledore. It was clear that the headmaster was the one who needed comfort the most at this time, not him, the boy who survived two catastrophes.

"Killing me!"

Harry suddenly saw Ron laughing while holding the crooked letter paper.

"Look at this letter. I finally understand it. The previous content is fine. Many relatives of Durmstrang students were killed by Grindelwald's men. Their attitude towards you is quite friendly—" —The key is the following paragraph, this person said that he might be your pen pal, and he is going to teach you how to play Quidditch! Listen! Harry, Quidditch! This person wants to teach you how to play Quidditch—— Oh my goodness!"

Harry took the envelope, barely making out the reader's last name - Krum.

"Don't say that, Durmstrang doesn't ban Quidditch." After finishing speaking, Harry hesitated whether to write back to this person.

pen pal?Sounds like a novelty.

"Harry! Harry are you there?"

Hermione rushed into the dormitory suddenly, with an anxious face, she didn't even care about the twins' deliberately covering their bodies - their actions won Ron's admiration - because they covered their faces.

"Why didn't I think of it." Ron didn't know what to think of.

"What's the matter?" Harry asked in surprise. If it wasn't for some important reason, Hermione wouldn't just break into their dormitory - maybe Christmas was an exception.

"Come with me." Hermione said in a low voice, becoming mysterious again.

Harry greeted several people in the room, and followed Hermione out.

Ron followed, and he seemed to have guessed something.

The three left the common room, found an empty classroom and got in.

After closing the door and making sure there was no one else in the classroom, Hermione said surprisingly, "Sirius has appeared."

"What?!" Harry hurriedly asked, "Where is he? Is it Professor Highmore? Professor Highmore found him?"

"No." Hermione shook her head, her tone became hesitant, and even her eyes looked a little weird: "This matter has nothing to do with Professor Highmore—to be precise, it's Crookshanks."

Hermione was referring to her big orange cat, which looked majestic. Ron preferred to call it a little tiger, which was equally fierce and had been chasing and biting Scabbers before.

It's scary to think about it now - who knew it would be Peter Pettigrew?

Ron looked at Hermione carefully: "Shouldn't you also secretly practice devil magic? What kind of animal did you summon? A fool with a broken brain?"

"I'm not kidding!" Hermione glared at Ron angrily, "I'm telling the truth—do you remember that it was Crookshanks who first noticed that there was something wrong with Scabbers—after you changed one Crookshanks stopped chasing and biting a pet mouse after he got it."

Neither Harry nor Ron could refute what Hermione said, because it was the truth.

A very strange fact.

"Maolizi is very smart." Hermione analyzed seriously: "Crookshanks' lineage may be more complicated than we imagined—in short, it can detect some clues that are not easy to detect. I guess it It's also because I've seen a lot of mice, so I'm curious about Scabbers in the past-normal mice can't be so human, can they? Perhaps Crookshanks can also smell its feelings, just like dementors perceive The same way wizards exist—”

"Wait a minute." Harry became more and more confused as he listened, "but what does this have to do with Sirius?"

"That's the problem!" Hermione couldn't help becoming excited: "Animagus - I doubt that Crookshanks can accurately judge the Animagus - first Scabbers, then Big Black Dog - Pettigrew and Sirius are both Animagus."

Ron extinguished Hermione's enthusiasm in time: "But what about the location? Where did you find the big black dog?"

Hermione's tone really calmed down a lot, even uneasy.

"The Forbidden Forest." She said, "Yesterday, I went to Hagrid's to review the lessons related to Sniffing - by the way, I have tried many methods, but those ordinary Sniffing really can't match Al Mr.—Well, I went on. As I was about to go, I saw a shadow in the Forbidden Forest—a black shadow, not the same as the gray of the trees—"

"Wait a minute." Ron asked suspiciously: "What is a black shadow? You must have seen a dementor, right?"

"They look different." Hermione said resolutely, "And I asked Hagrid. Dementors actually don't like the Forbidden Forest very much, because there are more animals in it, but the emotions of animals can't be changed." Attracts dementors, unlike wizards' emotional delicacy - hear me out, I wondered if I was wrong, but you and I described it, Harry, and it looked like a black bear, of comparable size Little black bear - very skinny, like he hasn't eaten in a month."

"Sounds like it." Harry said, frowning tightly, "but even if what you said is true, why did Sirius appear in the Forbidden Forest? He couldn't break in alone, could he? "

Hermione fell silent suddenly, the worry in her eyes deepening.

Ron followed Harry's train of thought and said: "If there is such a person—first of all, the other party must have enough time to contact Sirius and have the ability to control the school gate. Willing to contact Professor Highmore—Not everyone knows that Sirius is still alive, but almost everyone who knows knows that Professor Highmore is looking for him. Let me think about who this person might be."

Ron's eyes widened slowly, and Harry was too shocked to speak.

"Albus Dumbledore," said Hermione in an inaudible voice, "the Headmaster meets all the criteria - he hasn't been seen in public since the Ministry case, has time to find Sirius, and The headmaster's powers are fully sufficient to do so."

"But." Harry said in horror: "Why did the headmaster do this? Isn't he and Professor Highmore on the same side? Why did you hide Sirius from Professor Highmore?"

"That's exactly what I'm worried about." Hermione looked worried: "You said—"

"Shouldn't we really see the black devil fighting the white devil?"
