Having escaped famine, I was accepted into Hogwarts.

Chapter 170: The part about getting angry at yourself.

In an instant, the atmosphere at the entire table fell into an eerie silence. Kane frowned as he looked at Hagrid's strange and pale face, wondering if he should try to fit in.

For example... smoothing out the smile that had risen from eating chocolate, he gasped, "This is terrifying! Sirius Black actually escaped from prison..."

After he finished speaking, no one else at the table responded, so he had no choice but to continue, "So who is he?"

Seeing the stares from those around him, he shrugged helplessly. "Is that so strange? Have you all forgotten that I'm a Muggle wizard?"

Filch left early because he didn't want to eat at the same table as Kane, so now there are only three people left at the table besides Kane.

Now, these three people look at each other, not knowing what to say.

Finally, Dumbledore slowly spoke: "Back then, Harry's parents fought on the front lines against Tom. When Lily became pregnant, the Order of the Phoenix, which is a small society that I personally founded, felt that three young lives should not be exposed to danger any longer. So I used a spell called the Faithful Charm to protect them."

Kane then roughly understood what Dumbledore meant. In almost all cultural works, both ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, whenever there is such a starting point, the subsequent plot development is generally similar.

Besides the person being protected, the Charm of Loyalty also requires a keeper of secrets, and that keeper is Sirius Black. What happened next can be learned by Kane himself if he skips a few classes of History of Magic.

Sirius betrayed the Potters, causing Harry to inherit a large fortune ahead of schedule and be burdened with the fate of fighting against the forces of darkness... oh, and he was also an orphan.

So Harry's true identity is Bruce Wayne?

Kane leaned back in his chair. Although his good brother's unfortunate past was laid bare before him, he knew he shouldn't laugh out loud.

But just as people might have a destructive urge when they see something cute, hearing sad things can also cause them to unconsciously think of abstract things and curl up their lips due to emotional distress, to the point that he slowly covered his mouth with both hands.

Dumbledore glanced at Kane's unusual expression and patted him on the shoulder with a hint of helplessness: "Laugh if you want to. When I first heard that bad news, I was just like you, I couldn't stop laughing. Of course, I laughed at my own stupidity."

"Well, I guess I was laughing from the bottom of my heart. I don't think this is a bad thing for Harry. At least he now has the chance to take revenge on his enemies himself." Kane awkwardly lowered his hand from his mouth, and his expression returned to normal.

Dumbledore raised an eyebrow at Kane, who had a serious expression on his face: "Judging from your expression, what else do you want to do?"

"Me?" Kane pointed to himself. "Of course I was helping to hold his head down."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Lu Ping, who seemed to be pondering some profound meaning of life. His mind was in a constant state of internal struggle, and finally he came up with something that both hemispheres agreed with.

"Harry is in danger!"

Kane popped a grape into his mouth. "So, can you tell us something nobody knows? Which semester didn't Harry encounter danger?"

After he finished speaking, he suddenly picked up a grape and threw it in a direction not far away. With a thud, the grape hit the air and bounced back.

"Does the magical contract between house-elves allow them to eavesdrop on wizards' conversations?" Kane looked at Dobby, who had dispelled the invisibility spell, and then at Dumbledore with some doubt.

"It's allowed, but you can't tell anyone." Dumbledore said, then looked at Dobby, who was standing restlessly. "Looks like you want to go on a business trip?"

Dobby was fidgeting with his two fingers behind his back, but the moment he heard Dumbledore say that, he nodded sharply: "Dobby is going to protect Harry Potter."

Kane secretly kicked Dumbledore under the table. To be honest, sending Dobby to protect Harry was more like handing a knife to that guy named Sirius Black.

Thirteen years ago, Dumbledore laughed at himself for appointing Sirius Black as the Secret Keeper. So this time, he'll probably laugh at himself for sending Dobby out to protect Harry.

This behavior was entirely driven by the fear that Harry's health bar was too high and Sirius's attack power wouldn't be enough, so they sent Dobby ahead to whittle down Harry's health bar before Sirius could finish him off.

After being kicked by Kane, Dumbledore realized what had happened and looked at Dobby apologetically, saying, "I don't think we need you to step in this time, Dobby."

Dobby lowered his head, looking dejected.

Kane, who saved Harry from danger, decided to keep his achievements hidden and continued eating his breakfast.

Then he felt like he was being stared at by two pairs of eyes.

He slowly brought over a plate of noodles, picking them into his mouth as he spoke, "Tell me, what other filthy, rotten ideas have you come up with this time?"

Lupin slowly revealed a mysterious smile.

"Seriously..." Kane was now sitting on a large tree trunk, looking at Lupin sitting next to him with that mysterious smile: "I feel a little uncomfortable looking at your smile now. I have thought about it. Your plan is to take Harry out of the Dursleys and bring him back to Hogwarts, the Weasleys, or at the very least, any wizarding community."

Kane took a deep breath and patted Lupin heavily on the shoulder. "But I never imagined that the plan you mentioned was for the two of us to leave Hogwarts and settle down in the tree at Aunt Harry's house... Can you tell me what you were thinking?"

Seeing that Kane was clearly unwilling, Lupin quickly comforted him, "Protecting Harry is easy, but we can't protect him forever, right? We need to capture Sirius Black, that way we can solve the problem once and for all. So using Harry as bait and having the two of us keep an eye on him is absolutely necessary."

"Hmm, for example? With something as big as Black's prison break, the Aurors would definitely be hiding here to protect Harry. Do they need the two of us to fish?" Kane rolled his eyes, somewhat regretting coming out to join Lupin in this fun.

Lupin fell silent, unsure whether he should tell Kane something he had originally intended to keep to himself, something he didn't even want to tell Dumbledore.

However, there is a slight difference. He didn't tell Dumbledore because he subconsciously didn't want to disappoint him. But for Kane, the two are friends, so there's no question of disappointment.

Just as Lupin was still hesitating, a light drizzle suddenly began to fall. Looking at Kane, who had reluctantly pulled up his hood and wore a death-like battle expression...

Lupin spoke up now, and he was really going to say it, otherwise what if Kane got so angry he exploded?
