Who let this Dementor into Hogwarts!

Chapter 255 Get out! Otherwise I'll... I'll take off my clothes.

Dumbledore's superb skills naturally helped Sirius Black perfectly hide his memories, and Dumbledore even went so far as to erase the part of Sirius's memory about "Cohen replacing a Dementor" to prevent the Truth Potion from causing Sirius to reveal all his secrets.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Cohen also grabbed a Dementor to replace himself when Fudge left the castle.

Fudge is a bit of a scoundrel; Cohen didn't see him having any intention of "removing the Dementors from Hogwarts."

But this has nothing to do with Cohen—the conflict with Fudge now only involves Dumbledore and Sirius…

So Cohen secretly told the Dementors, "You can go back now."

Well, Dementors can't talk anyway, and the higher-ups at the Ministry of Magic are a bunch of lazy bums who just stick to the status quo and don't dare to do anything. They won't dare to cancel the Dementor roster.

Moreover, this action would only cause Fudge trouble. In less than an hour, the sudden departure of the Dementors guarding Hogwarts would definitely attract the attention of reporters. Fudge would then have to deal with reporters asking, "Oh, the Dementors have left. Did you capture Sirius Black?"

Returning to the castle in human form, Cohen went back to the eighth floor and carried the box back to Dumbledore's office.

Sirius Black and "Fake Peter" were both taken away by Professor McGonagall.

“Cohen, you’ve come at just the right time,” Dumbledore said to Cohen. “Perhaps Sirius could be placed in your chest? Or in that Room of Requirement? So as not to interfere with normal teaching activities. Of course, I would recommend the Room of Requirement.”

As to why Cohen's box was unsuitable, Dumbledore gave Cohen a coded look.

Dumbledore seems to have crossed a line in his relationship with himself.

“You’re the principal,” Cohen said, pursing his lips. “Are you really going to ask me to grant you the right to use the Room of Requirement?”

“This room is clearly on the fringes of Hogwarts,” Dumbledore said with a chuckle. “Even I can’t go in there often.”

Cohen knew perfectly well why; he and the Earl had occupied the room almost all day, so Dumbledore couldn't get in.

Even though Dumbledore tried to subtly suggest it, it was no use—Cohen would at most let Sirius stay there for a week, and once the trial was over, Cohen would continue to occupy the place.

"Dumbledore is so old, yet he's still fighting with kids over toys, doesn't he have any shame...?"

"Oh, by the way," Cohen said to Dumbledore after agreeing to keep Sirius Black in the Room of Requirement. "Fudge didn't take all the Dementors with him, as if he didn't care at all that they would affect the students."

“It’s not surprising that Fudge did this,” Dumbledore said.

“But I told those Dementors to go back to Azkaban,” Cohen chuckled.

Dumbledore chuckled softly—perhaps not because of Fudge, but simply because he was happy that Cohen was doing good for the school and his classmates.

"Alright, you dog, you'll stay here from now on."

"Any request will be granted," Cohen said to Sirius in the room.

Cohen brought the Earl out of the Room of Requirement ahead of time, and transformed the room.

It's like a single-person dormitory.

"Don't call me that word." Sirius exhaled through his nose.

"That man-dog?" Cohen asked.

"Don't just string two words together and call it a new word!" Sirius said, covering his face. "Is this how Edward taught you?"

"Are you close to my dad?" Cohen asked suspiciously. "He's Hufflepuff's—"

“We weren’t that close when we were in school,” Sirius said conservatively. “I only knew him then because he gave gifts to all the girls in Gryffindor—I later found out he was doing it to woo Rose…”

“That’s embarrassing,” Cohen said sternly. “You mean you weren’t very close when we were in school… but we became very close after graduation?” “Because we were both on Dumbledore’s side, fighting Voldemort together,” Sirius said. “He’s a pretty capable and upright person, just a bit lazy—so I was very surprised when I saw him that day, wondering why he would adopt…”

“Am I some terrible kid?” Cohen said viciously. “You can forget about Christmas presents this year. I’m going to tell Harry later that his godfather is having an affair with one of Hogsmeade’s swallowtail dogs—”

"Hey, hey, hey—don't tell Harry about this—" Sirius quickly covered Cohen's mouth, but Cohen dodged quickly—he was too dirty, and only Professor McGonagall and Harry would touch him without any hesitation.

"So you did it after all?" Cohen said disappointedly. "I thought you could control your desires..."

"You little rascal..." Sirius sighed, his face full of black lines.

Cohen was clearly having fun with himself—just like the four of them had had fun with their classmates back then.

"I'm not going to bother with you anymore, I'm going back to my dorm to catch up on some sleep. If you get hungry, just sneak into the kitchen and get something to eat," Cohen said. "Also, go take a shower, Harry'll probably want to come looking for you tonight."

"Have some decency, stop looking at me like I'm worried about my butt." Sirius Black sat down in a chair in the new bedroom. "I'm Harry's godfather."

“More likely,” Cohen said thoughtfully. “You’ve never been in a relationship before—”

"I did it because—because—"

"And he was obsessed with James, even calling James's name at Harry in the Shrieking Shack..."

“James and I are friends.” Sirius Black immediately decided to kick Cohen out—every second the kid stayed near him was torture for him. “Get out, get out—”

“I haven’t finished my reasoning yet,” Cohen said. “This concerns Harry’s future education—”

"If you don't get out, I'm taking off my clothes!" Sirius said fiercely. "I'm planning to take a bath here."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a bathtub filled with hot water appeared in the room.

"you are vicious."

Cohen covered his eyes, turned around, and left the house.

That's outrageous! They actually resort to such methods to resist!

After leaving the Room of Requirement, Cohen returned to the common room.

Harry and his friends were chatting about Sirius Black's situation when they saw Cohen come in, and Harry perked up immediately.

"Cohen! What did Professor Dumbledore say? Has anything been settled about Sirius Black?" Harry asked hurriedly.

"The trial is next weekend. Dumbledore is handling it, so don't worry," Cohen said. "Sirius is currently staying in the Room of Requirement. You can go and chat with him if you need to—but don't tell the other students."

"Then now—"

“Not now,” Cohen stopped Harry from rushing off.

"Why?" Harry asked, puzzled.

“He’s shirtless right now, but you can just barge in if you want to see,” Cohen said, stroking his chin. “It’s sure to be exciting.”

“It’s going to be really awkward,” Hermione said.

“The scene must be terrifying,” Ron said, clicking his tongue.
