Chapter 297 Dinner
"I still don't understand why the headmaster won't allow us to reveal this since someone is obviously pretending to be a circus owner, especially the Aurors, they are everywhere now, it shouldn't be difficult to catch someone of."

In the tent, Ron couldn't figure it out as he said this to Harry and Hermione.

"Maybe it's because the principal wants to solve this problem himself." Hermione guessed, "Or it's because he doesn't think Aurors have this ability. I know it seems impossible, but if Deng It's easier to accept Bullido's words, isn't it? He's the best judge of people."

"Maybe." Harry stretched his neck and looked around, trying to find Dumbledore in the crowd, but his hopes were quickly dashed, and he saw Percy approaching.

"Urgent notice." He said: "Because there are too many students staying in school this time, the principal temporarily decided to arrange a carriage for us to go back to school. After a while, everyone will set off together."

After Percy left, Harry said to the two of them: "It seems that the headmaster didn't do nothing now, at least we don't have to go back in the wind and snow."

Finally, the people in the circus had already started to pack their luggage, and the students from the four colleges were about to leave. Fred and George looked at Cedric's bulging pockets with weird eyes. They were all the addresses left by the young girls. They can be reached at any time by writing a letter.

What's more frightening is that Luna received more than ten times more contact information than Cedric, filling all of her and Ginny's pockets, and someone prepared a bag for them, which contained a lot of precious one's gift.

Fairy Witch has been diligently guarding them, and he kept admonishing: "You can accept all the gifts, but the contact information will be given to me later, these people are really shameless, how can they snatch them in front of their competitors?" Those who leave the staff, if Toby is here, they will definitely give those people a good look."

Ginny kept sighing in her heart that Wicky's way of doing things is the real one.

On the other side, Fudge, who was the first to walk out of the tent, looked at the bad weather and said happily: "Dumbledore is really thoughtful. It seems that he also desperately hopes that Hogwarts and the Ministry of Magic can get back together. By the way, he is now in Where is it?"

Scrimgeour asked his subordinates, he said: "Dumbledore is arranging the specific matters of the ride, and he will wait for us at the Hogwarts dinner directly."
-
"Children." In the slightly crowded crowd, Mr. Newt squeezed towards Harry and the three with difficulty: "Excuse me, I'm almost a hundred years old, please make room."

"Phew, it's really tiring." He came to the three of them out of breath and said, "Come with me, the four of us will ride in the same carriage."

"Oh?" Ron had just asked questions before Hermione interrupted: "That would be great."

She winked at Harry, and Harry knew Hermione was with him.Mr. Newt must have something important to tell them—for example, the headmaster's investigation has already progressed, so he made such an abrupt decision.

But what Harry never imagined was that after he got into the extra carriage, he could see an extremely familiar yet unfamiliar figure.

"This big black dog," Hermione said in shock, "is he the one you said—"

"There's nothing to talk about until you get in." Newt urged, and he finally got into the carriage, where the space seemed to have been expanded a lot, allowing him to squeeze into the seat on the same side as Hermione and Ron.

On the other side is Harry and the suspicious big black dog.

After the carriage drove slowly, Newt said: "Now you can talk, pay attention to the time, and don't get too excited. Although a soundproof spell has been cast here, it's better to be careful."

The big black dog returned to its human form almost instantly, and Mr. Newt hadn't finished speaking: "Oh, yes, you have to be careful. You know there are things you shouldn't tell them—"

"Your father is still alive!" Sirius said recklessly, he grabbed Harry's shoulder excitedly: "James, he is very likely still alive!"

Newt slapped his forehead in frustration. He picked up the suitcase at his feet, as if he was considering whether to give Sirius a shot.

How could he break the rules so quickly!

Harry opened his mouth. This was his first real meeting with Sirius, but he hadn't figured out how to greet him, such as addressing things, should he call him by his first name directly, or should he say godfather and then He just learned the most shocking news in history, even worse than Horcruxes.

James Potter, his father, was alive?

But what about this possibility?

Ron obviously felt that there was something wrong with Sirius' state. He wanted to seek approval from Hermione, but saw Hermione suddenly say after the same shock: "You mean, the person pretending to be a circus owner Is that Harry's father?"

"What circus owner?" Sirius didn't know what they experienced in the tent, because he was supposed to dress up as a dead man and couldn't go anywhere.

Hermione quickly told the whole thing, and Mr. Newt didn't even have time to stop it, and he was a little unsure whether he should stop these children, and Dumbledore didn't tell him what to do. How to do it.

Forget it, Fantastic Beasts is more reassuring.

Mr. Newt thought desperately.

"It should be." After listening to Hermione's story, Sirius connected the two things together: "Since Dumbledore said that James didn't use the Imperius Curse, he must have some restrictions , must show up at the celebration, the circus owner you are talking about is very likely to be James in disguise."

"But why is it very possible?" Ron couldn't help but wonder.

"Because there's no magic that can bring people back from the dead," Hermione said matter-of-factly, "You won't find it in any of the books in the library."

Harry didn't think so, however.

He knew that Luna's mother had been resurrected in the form of a notebook and had taught him lessons.This also became the motivation for him to continue to study the devil, hoping to successfully resurrect his parents at a certain time in the future.

But before he could do it himself, he was suddenly notified that James Potter had returned to this world
At this time, Sirius also said: "You are right, and James' behavior is a bit abnormal. He said he came to see me, but he didn't want to see his child in person. I didn't understand him until now." The meaning in the words is that he can't see you with his true face, he has to pretend."

From the expression on Hermione's face, she still didn't want to admit what Sirius said, and Ron obviously thought so too-it's too bizarre to be resurrected from the dead.

And they couldn't figure out why James didn't want to go back to Harry.

Before they could ask, Sirius understood what they meant.

"Maybe it has something to do with Lily." He said firmly, "I can't think of any reason for him to make such a decision other than Lily."

Although this seems much more reasonable, .
"What about you?" Harry asked suddenly, "What are you going to do in the future?"

Ron and Hermione thought Harry was being manipulated by someone, and he didn't care about James Potter at all?
Sirius also said anxiously: "What can I do, it's your parents now, and they are probably still alive. Your family finally has a chance to be together, Harry."

If there's anything that these years of experience have done to Harry, it's that it's made him calmer and wiser.

"I'll go to Professor Highmore and ask about the possibility of such a thing."

As soon as he opened his mouth, he knew he had said the wrong thing, because Sirius immediately showed distrust, almost on the surface.

"He is not worthy of trust." Sirius said decisively: "Instead of believing a murderer, I would rather believe that he indirectly killed James and Lily. You don't understand, Harry, who is willing to trust that guy It didn't end well. And Lupine, don't you know about this, he was trapped for half a semester not long ago, and the professor Lupine who taught you was someone else pretending to be. Look at Sne Well, he probably never really trusted Highmore, and the two never got along well when we were in school, but what about him now? He's a professor at Hogwarts, or the head of Slytherin."

"You all have to stay away from Highmore."

It was a cliché again, Hermione and Ron looked at each other, they both thought it was a personal grievance between Sirius and Professor Highmore.

And Harry, he was more concerned about the other thing Sirius had just mentioned.

"Did you just say, my father, did he trust Professor Highmore?"

"Yeah, just like many people, they were all deceived by Hammer." Sirius shook his head and said, "The reason is still because of myself, James always felt that Hammer gave me the opportunity to stay in Hogwarts." opportunities, and the relationship between them is not that bad, and there are not many intersections, and more of them get to know her mysterious friend through Lily."

"Also a murderer."

Sirius added immediately, as if he was afraid Harry would forget about it.

Harry was very interested in what happened when his parents were in school, but time was running out.

The carriage stopped slowly, and Newt glanced at the watch on his wrist and said, "It's time, we have to get out quickly, otherwise people will be suspicious if we are late."

"When will I see you again?" Harry hurriedly seized the time to ask, "And what will you do in the future?"

He asked the previous question again.

Unexpectedly, Sirius actually smiled at him.

"I guess you will find out soon." He said mysteriously, "Dumbledore helped me find a good job, which is very safe."

Before they got out of the carriage, Sirius turned back into the form of the big black dog, and he would leave with the empty carriage, wait until everyone entered the castle, and sneak away without anyone noticing.

On the way back to the castle, Ron and Hermione didn't bother to ask Harry any questions. There were too many people and it wasn't the right place.

Harry noticed the curious and worried eyes of the two.

"Don't worry." He lowered his voice and said, "I won't mess around. Even if I do, I have to go to Professor Haimo first."

"But you lost his things." Ron finally spoke about the skull necklace: "And the professor never came to see us once when we were hospitalized. Is this method really feasible?"

Honestly, Harry wasn't sure either.

Seeing that something was wrong with the atmosphere, Hermione quickly comforted her: "Why don't you just let me go to the professor, I just want to find a chance to pass the exam, have you forgotten that cat or raccoon?"

Ron and Harry hadn't forgotten it at all, and they even thought it was the pussy that Hermione had conjured that attracted Professor Highmore, who happened to be nearby.

The trio followed the crowd to the auditorium. This time, the auditorium was even more grandly arranged than when the school started, especially the teacher's long table——Harry was still thinking about how to sit so many guests at first, He understood now—not only did he extend the teacher's long table, but he also turned a corner, almost missing the two college long tables next to it.

"It is said that the ranking of positions this time is very tricky." Ron said, "If it weren't for the principal's invitation, it is estimated that many people would not have stayed for the dinner."

Harry noticed that Dumbledore still occupied the most middle position, and sitting next to him were Fudge and Dean McGonagall—eh?Where is Professor Highmore?

Many people noticed that Professor Highmore, who was used to sitting next to Dumbledore, was gone. Hermione straightened her neck and looked around. She looked in the right direction and reminded: "Here we are, we will soon be connected to Slytherin House." The direction is."

Harry and Ron looked over immediately, and sure enough, at one end of the extended teacher's table, there was sitting the inattentive Professor Highmore, who seemed to be asking some questions to Marcus Flint, who was reluctant to stay away. , I can guess that it must be whether he has finished his homework or not.

The trio looked at each other silently, does this have any meaning?Or is it just to make room for such a solemn occasion?
But don't be the worst kind.

When all the staff were almost seated, Dumbledore stood up and quickly silenced the entire auditorium.

"Welcome," he said, "Hogwarts has some unusual guests today—"

Visitors from the Ministry of Magic from various countries sitting on Fudge's left are already preparing to introduce themselves.

But Dumbledore changed his tone and said: "One of them is the most worthy of grand welcome - the current principal of Waggadu School of Magic, Principal Babajid Akinbad."

Akinbad, who was dozing off, was taken aback for a moment, then he smiled kindly and greeted the students below.

Many people have noticed that Principal Akinbad is sitting in a very marginal position, next to Professor Haimer.

As for Toby himself, he met Dumbledore's eyes from a long distance, watched him sit back in his seat, and announced the official start of dinner.

Fudge's complexion has become a little ugly.
