Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Chapter 314 Arguing and Screaming

"Clap!"

In the quiet tavern, a sudden sound awakened the sluggish Sirius and the others.They followed the sound and saw Aberforth picking up the broken glass on the ground.

Some were absent-minded, and were stabbed by broken glass.

Seeing Aberforth hastily cleaned up the broken glass on the ground and left, Sirius also turned around and asked seriously, "Hermione, how do you know about this?"

"Wait!" Ron said loudly immediately, "Is what Hermione said true?"

Sirius was also stunned, his eyes swept back and forth on the three of them, and asked in surprise: "Wait, you don't know either?"

"I don't know." Harry and Ron Qiqi shook their heads, and Hermione didn't tell them at all.But if you think about it carefully, there are signs.Dumbledore's right hand, which was scorched black at first, was now intact in Harry's mind.

At this time, Sirius said aloud: "I don't know how you know, but I have to say that your guess is right... Yes, Dumbledore's time is running out."

"How long does he have?" Hermione continued.

"I don't know, but it won't be more than a year." Sirius shook his head and said seriously, "Okay, that's it, I hope to get out of this tavern, and you guys will rot this matter in your stomach Here, don't tell anyone... This matter is only known to a very small number of people, and it must not be leaked, especially not to the ears of those guys."

"Okay." All three nodded seriously, and Ron even made a gesture of zipping his mouth.Seeing this, Sirius calmed down a bit, and said to Hermione, "Hermione, take care of the two of them, okay?"

Hermione nodded solemnly upon hearing this, but this conversation aroused some dissatisfaction from Harry and Ron.

"We're not kids who don't know anything, Sirius," said Harry.

"Well, you are indeed not children anymore." Sirius said, drank the butter beer in the glass and stood up, and took advantage of the opportunity to straighten his clothes.

"Wait, you're leaving, Sirius?" Harry startled.

"Yes." Sirius said with a smile.

"But, I still have a lot of questions I want to ask you..." Before Harry could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Sirius.

"If it's about the You-Know-Who and the Death Eaters, I think you can ask Hermione more." He said and hugged Harry, "As for the others, I only have one sentence: I hope you can stay safe forever, Harry."

"You too, Sirius." Harry said softly. Seeing this, Sirius chuckled, hugged Ron and Hermione again, and left, leaving only the three of them staring at each other.

They looked at each other for a long time before Ron said hesitantly, "Did he not pay the bill?"

"Already paid!" As soon as the words finished, Aberforth's voice sounded from behind the bar again.Following the sound, I saw him with a cold face, and said angrily: "Have you finished drinking? Hurry up and leave after drinking, I'm going to close the door!"

There was still a lot of butterbeer left in the cups of the three, but no one wanted to stay any longer.Qiqi wrapped herself tightly again, pushed the door open and rushed into the wind and snow.

Not far away, Harry thought of what Sirius said just now, and suddenly stopped in his tracks.When he stopped, Hermione and Ron also stopped.

"What's the matter, Harry?" Ron asked tremblingly, enduring the wind and snow.

Harry ignored Ron, turned to look at Hermione next to him and asked, "Hermione, how do you know?"

"what?"

"Dumbledore!"

"Oh, it's easy to see, if you pay more attention to your studies..." Hermione said calmly, not loudly, but enough for Harry to hear clearly.

"But why did Sirius say let us ask you about Voldemort..." Harry said angrily, but before he could finish, someone stopped him from saying the man's name.

"You can't say that name, Harry."

Tonks appeared at some point, with a head of wet gray-brown hair.

"Ah, Tonks, why are you here?" Harry asked Tonks after being stung and his anger had subsided a lot.

"You know, I'm an Auror after all. It's normal to be on patrol in Hogsmeade." Tonks said, "However, we shouldn't be freezing here anymore. How about going to the Three Broomsticks?" ?”

After speaking, he directly pulled Harry to the Three Broomsticks.

Tonks led the three of them to an empty seat, ordered a glass of butterbeer for each of them, and left.It seemed a little disrespectful, but the three of them knew in their hearts that Tonks was just in a bad mood.It's been like this since I saw her during the summer vacation, and I don't know what is bothering her so much that she hasn't recovered for so long.

"Okay, butter beer, I can finally have a good drink this time." Ron picked up the glass and drank a third of it in one go, hiccupped, with a happy smile on his face.

Harry took a sip, thinking about the question that Tonks had interrupted just now.He looked at Hermione and asked, "Hermione, why do you know so much about Death Eaters? Do you still have contact with that guy?"

"Not anymore," Hermione replied, taking a sip of her butterbeer.

"Now? Did it happen before?" Harry's voice suddenly became louder, "Don't you know, he killed Mundungus!"

Ron hurriedly gave Harry a hand when he heard the sound.

"Harry, don't be so loud..."

"Yeah, don't you want everyone to know? Are you sure I'm here to tell you?" Hermione also said calmly, but her tone was a bit weird.

He took another sip of butterbeer and said, "Okay, when you get back, I'll tell you what you want to know. Now, keep warm."

Harry was temporarily quiet when he heard the words, but the unrest in his heart could still be seen from his expression.With such a face by his side, Ron had no desire to stay here any longer.He drank the butterbeer in the glass in two or three sips, then stared at Hermione and drank most of the glass. After drinking the whole glass, Harry immediately said, "Let's go back."

"Okay." Hermione nodded, and the three of them returned to the wind and snow after paying the money.

Bad weather will affect the nature of people's play.Along with them, many others also chose to return to the warm castle of Hogwarts.Not far ahead was their acquaintance, Katie Bell, the suitor of the Quidditch team, with a box in her hand, chatting and laughing with her friends.

In this way, they stepped on the frozen snow and walked towards the castle with difficulty in the face of the snow that was still falling.But after a while, the shrill voice reached Harry's ears through the wind and snow.

Following the sound, it was Katie and her friend. The two girls were arguing over the box in Katie's hand.

Suddenly, Katie's friend reached out to snatch the thing from Katie's hand, and Katie pulled back hard, and the box fell to the ground.

In the next second, Katie floated up, her limbs stretched out naturally, her eyes were closed, her hair was blown around by the wind, like a fairy.

A few seconds later, a shrill scream suddenly sounded out!
