"It's nothing serious. I just learned about what happened in Hogsmeade yesterday, so I came to see what you think, and I just ran into the Minister of Magic who came to complain to you." Dracula said, "Say I was actually quite surprised when I heard it, I really didn't expect it to be the head of Potter's leadership at that time."

"Yeah, that's surprising." Speaking of Harry, Dumbledore couldn't help showing a smile, "Harry's Patronus Charm should already have a prototype of a Patronus. It only took three Months, this progress is indeed beyond ordinary people."

"Other young wizards have done a good job." Dracula nodded in agreement, "Many young wizards in the third and fourth grades can summon the fog-shaped patronus, which is enough to deal with one or two dementors."

"It is indeed a good thing that the students are making progress in learning the Patronus Charm, but I'm afraid it will be difficult for Sirius." Dumbledore sighed, "Fudge seems determined not to give him the spell."

"Why? It wouldn't do him any harm to exonerate Black?" Dracula asked with a frown.

"It may be that Sirius' escape made Fudge lose credibility, and he still holds a grudge." Dumbledore said, "It may also be that he was too cowed to see any stain that might affect his career."

"If the students know that Sirius is innocent, then Fudge's behavior of sending dementors to Hogwarts Castle is likely to be criticized a lot at the social level. Of course he is not willing to commit suicide for Sirius. "

"Judging from your tone just now, it seems that there is another way?" Dracula asked.

"There is no other way." Dumbledore shook his head slightly, his eyes gradually became sharper, "But although I am old, I still have some contacts left in the Wizengamot."

"I will not allow an innocent person to be convicted again."

"As long as you're sure, I'm too lazy to bother with such troublesome things." Dracula shrugged casually, and asked as if inadvertently, "By the way, Hagrid's Hippogriff also wants to Judgment, do you want to use your connections?"

He regretted a little now that he had promised Harry and the three of them to help Hagrid.

The joke that Ron made up was obviously not very funny, but the matter he wanted to help was accidentally misunderstood, which attracted the attention of the Minister of Magic, and it became troublesome unknowingly.

Dracula felt that the price was not equal.

Be sure to ask them to tell a funnier joke next time.

"Oh, you don't have to worry about Buckbeak." Dumbledore smiled confidently. "In terms of magical beasts, Newt naturally has his own contacts. You know, he protects the magical beasts." The real No.1 in the animal kingdom."

"The question is, did Fudge just mention looking for Buckbeak's trouble?" Dracula frowned slightly, "I know Newt can handle the protection of magical animals well, but he can't deal with political troubles, right? ?”

"You're underestimating Newt, Professor Dracula." Dumbledore laughed happily, "You may not know that Newt's brother, Theseus Scamander, was once a member of the Ministry of Magic. Director of the Department of Legal Enforcement, he helped Newt deal with a lot of trouble back then.

Trouble. "

"Today, the Ministry of Magic still has many apprentices brought out by Theseus or the apprentices of his apprentices. Newt's contacts in the Ministry of Magic are much stronger than you think, Professor Dracula!"

"Oh? I didn't expect that." Dracula also smiled, "This is the best."

……

The Christmas holidays are over soon, and Buckbeak ushered in the first hearing of the Committee on the Disposal of Dangerous Creatures.

As Dumbledore expected, although Fudge secretly passed a few words to the director of the committee, asking them to find more trouble with the Hippogriff, Newt still settled the matter without any risk. .

When an old man over a hundred years old, Theseus Scamander sat on the jury seat, many wizards who wanted to make small moves froze on the spot.

This Theseus Scamander is a genuine veteran of the Ministry of Magic. In the early 20th century, he joined the Ministry of Magic just after graduating from Hogwarts Hufflepuff College and became an Auror.

Later, during the First World War, he secretly participated in the world-sensational war and saved many innocent people on the battlefield.Whether in Muggle or wizarding circles, he has gained a reputation as a war hero.

In addition, During the Global Wizarding War, Theseus became the official of the Ministry of Magic who contributed the most in the war because he was the head of the Auror Office at the time, and he took a clear stand against Grindelwald with Dumbledore. to become Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.

For years, the story of Theseus Scamander had been told like a textbook in Auror training manuals.

When these "little youths" from the Ministry of Magic saw the appearance of such a character in the textbook, everyone subconsciously dismissed the idea of ​​making small moves, for fear that they would be remembered by all the Aurors who worshiped Theseus.

If it was only because of Theseus, the trial might not have gone so smoothly.After all, there were still many jury members who were not affiliated with the Ministry of Magic sitting in their seats.

But the plaintiff, Lucius Malfoy, was reminded of "good intentions" by an unnamed Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

The originally aggressive Patriarch Malfoy instantly wilted like an eggplant beaten by frost, and decisively dismissed all the relationships that had been arranged.

If the time for the trial had not already been set, maybe he would have even canceled his own appeal!

Fudge lost quite completely...

When the verdict of the Committee for Disposal of Dangerous Creatures came down and the Hippogriff was finally acquitted, Hager Buckbeak wept bitterly.Newt, who was standing at the client's seat, also showed a knowing smile.

After returning to Hogwarts, Hagrid seemed to have regained his confidence. In the protection of magical animals class, he no longer allowed students to feed Flobber caterpillars. Instead, he showed the little wizards many rare and distinctive of fantastic animals.

It's just that Malfoy's injury experience last semester also reminded him, so he would do protective work before every class, and then bring magical animals to the little wizard.

Professor Lupine stayed at Hogwarts until the eve of Easter, and did not formally bid farewell to the professors and students of Hogwarts until he confirmed that Sirius' life was on the right track.

[The problem of slow update of the new chapter, if you can

He still has his great cause to complete, countless werewolves are still waiting for him in Romania, and more werewolves in dire straits are waiting for this "Hope of Werewolf" to rescue them.

Dumbledore held a simple farewell party for Lupine, and practiced it for him with the other professors.

It is worth mentioning that although Snape was reluctant, he finally attended the farewell party.

Before parting, he seemingly indifferently threw a piece of parchment to Lupin, on which was the formula of Wolfsbane potion that he had personally improved in the past few months.

This formula slightly reduces the efficacy of the wolfbane potion improved by Damocles Belby, but further reduces the price and refining difficulty, and is more suitable for promotion among the poor werewolves.

after christmas

In the second half of the school year, the Gryffindor Quidditch team can be said to be invincible.

Their talented Seeker Harry, paired with the world's fastest flying broomstick, the Firebolt, can't find opponents on the court.

Basically, by the time of the semi-finals, Gryffindor had locked the Quidditch Cup for this school year!

The progress of the students practicing the Patronus Charm is also gradually accelerating.

Learning how to cast the Patronus Curse of "Invincible Andros", which is famous for its Patronus Curse, and often practicing with the real dementors captured by Dracula. No magic school has such a unique learning experience. condition.

By the end of the school year, basically all little wizards above the third grade were able to cast a silver mist of light.

Among them, especially talented little wizards like Harry have learned to unleash the real Patronus!

All in all, everything in the second half of the school year seemed to go very well. Even if the dementors were still wandering around the castle, it didn't affect the happy mood of the little wizards at all.

In this atmosphere, the second trial Fudge mentioned came.

In the early morning of the day of the trial, Sirius changed into decent clothes in Black's ancestral house, and walked slowly towards the door of the house.

There was a portrait of an old lady hanging near the door. She snorted softly when she saw Sirius, then turned around and disappeared into the frame, as if she didn't want to see the actual heir of the Black family.

"Sirius, are you making mom angry again?" Regulus' voice came from the stairs far away. "Why did she suddenly run upstairs from the portrait downstairs?"

"She keeps telling me to marry a wizard from a pure-blood family all day long, don't you bother me if it's you?" Sirius yelled upstairs casually, "Her expression looks like the Black family is about to end. Same."

"Is there something wrong with what my mother said? You can't let my infernal corpse go to the Black family to carry on the family?" Regulus shouted.

He came out from the corner of the stairs and saw the rare Sirius who was no longer sloppy, his expression looked a little surprised.

"Hey, what's going on with you today?" Regulus looked Sirius up and down, "Why are you suddenly dressed like a human... You don't really plan to go on a date with a woman, do you?"

After all, Sirius has been in Azkaban for more than ten years, and he has long been indifferent to things like image and decency. He stays at home every day and is sloppy, which makes Mrs. Black in the portrait arrested. Hit him when you get the chance.

Today, however, Sirius suddenly put on a formal suit, and specially trimmed his hair and beard, revealing his original handsome face.

Regulus naturally felt very strange.

"Of course not because of this kind of thing." Sirius said impatiently, "I will see my godson today, at least I can't leave a bad impression on him."

With that said, he walked up to Regulus to pose.

"How do I look like this? Will Harry like it?"

"Anyway, compared to your previous appearance, no matter what you wear, you look like a person." Regulus smiled softly, "I remembered, what is it...Peter Pedilu is going to be tried today ?"

"Yeah." Sirius nodded, his eyes gradually became fierce, "If those scumbags from the Ministry of Magic dare to acquit that dead mouse, then I will personally kill him in court."

Regulus looked at his clenched fist and frowned slightly.

"You don't need to do that kind of thing." He said seriously, "Killing people in front of the judge and many members of the Wizengamot, do you really want to make the Black family disappear?"

"But I can't let him run away like that!" Sirius amplified his voice, "I've done enough to James and Lily, I have to take revenge on them!"

"I didn't say I won't let you take revenge." Regulus frowned even tighter, "It's just that you have to find a suitable method... There are only a few people left in the direct line of the Black family, you can't something happened."

"What can I do?" Sirius laughed self-deprecatingly, "Even Dumbledore will follow the rules of those scum, what can I do?"

Regulus suddenly froze for a moment.

"I seem to know a person who doesn't care about the rules." He said slowly, "Before the trial, you might as well go to Hogwarts to ask Mr. Dracula for help. That adult should be willing to go to the court to watch a good show."

……

Peter Pedilou's trial will officially begin at 09:30 am.

Dumbledore took the parties Harry and Ron to the Wizengamot courtroom at the lowest level of the Ministry of Magic in advance, which is the court where the case was heard.

After Sirius went out from Black's house, he went straight to Dracula's office and asked him to testify in court as a witness.

Dracula has long wanted to go to the Ministry of Magic to have fun, but Dumbledore's attitude has been unclear, and there are always other things delaying, so it has never been possible.

With the excuse Sirius gave him this time, he naturally readily agreed, and walked into the fireplace leading to the main hall of the Ministry of Magic with the masked Sirius.

The green flame fell, and a long, narrow and resplendent hall came into view.

The hall spans so long that there is almost no end in sight.the ground is wiped

Glossy dark wood floors and a peacock-blue ceiling inlaid with gleaming gold symbols are constantly moving and changing, like a giant bulletin board in the sky.

There are many gold-plated fireplaces embedded in the walls on both sides. From time to time, wizards come out of the green flames of the fireplaces and come to the main hall.

"Hey, the one in front gives way to block the way." A voice sounded from behind Dracula and Sirius.

It turned out that the two of them didn't know which way to go, and there was no movement for a long time, blocking the exit of the fireplace.

Dracula and Sirius stepped out of the way, looking at each other.

"I thought you should know where the Wizengamot courtroom is." Dracula said blankly.

"Ahem... I forgot about it. Dumbledore should have brought us there." Sirius seemed a little embarrassed, but he was wearing a mask, so he couldn't tell what kind of expression he had.

"In such a big Ministry of Magic, there is not even a road sign. I really don't understand how these employees don't get lost." Dracula curled his lips, and planned to use the Imperius Curse to randomly select a lucky passerby to guide them. .
