Harry Potter: I started signing in from Diagon Alley

……

midnight.

Ron and Eric arrived at the castle gate on time, and Hagrid had been waiting there early, holding an oil lamp in one hand and holding a hound in the other.

Ron was very excited to see Eric, and greeted him: "Eric, long time no see, where have you been?"

"Go to France for vacation." Eric said casually.

"Let's go." Seeing the two people appear, Hagrid didn't say much, and led them towards the Forbidden Forest.

Ron asked: "Hagrid, is Buckbeak's matter settled?"

Hagrid looked frustrated: "No, they still have to put the responsibility for scratching Malfoy on Buckbeak."

Buckbeak is a Hippogriff. At the beginning of the semester, because of an accident in class, Buckbeak gave Malfoy a hard hit. Malfoy was bleeding all over the floor. Slytherin and Gryffin Many games have also been postponed.

Now Malfoy naturally refused to let it go, he wanted Buckbeak to be executed through his family relationship.

Speaking of which, Malfoy seems to have had a lot of troubles this semester.

Hagrid's answer made Ron feel guilty.

The reason he, Hermione, and Harry had stayed at school this holiday had initially been to help Hagrid get Buckbeak out.

Unexpectedly, Harry later received the Firebolt from Eric.

With the Firebolt, he and Harry played almost the entire holiday.

It didn't help Buckbeak at all.

After walking for a while, Hagrid, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped and said, "We're here."

Chapter 132 Target: Peter Pedillo

Hagrid took Eric and Ron to the entrance of the Forbidden Forest.

The Forbidden Forest looked very eerie late at night. The clouds today were thick and blocked the moon. Only a few lonely street lamps along the way provided some illumination.

"The people in the Forbidden Forest reported to me some time ago that there were some strange movements in the Forbidden Forest. They went to investigate, but found no obvious abnormalities, so I would like to ask us to confirm again." Hagrid took out a bag from his arms. Zhang Map said.

"Fluorescence flickering." Eric used a lighting spell at the right time, illuminating the place where several people stood like daylight.

"Thank you, Eric." Hagrid bent down and put the map on the ground. The map has been divided into blocks with a quill. Hagrid pointed at the map with his finger and said, "What we are going to patrol this time is After confirming that there are no problems in these areas, you will complete the task, of course, if there is any problem, just send red fireworks into the sky to notify me, and I will rush over immediately."

After both Eric and Ron expressed their understanding, Hagrid put the map away.

Ron asked tremblingly, "Us? Aren't you with us? Hagrid."

Hagrid said, "Of course I'm with you, but we need to divide into two teams. If we go together, we may not be able to complete the inspection at dawn."

Without waiting for Eric and Ron to express their opinions, Hagrid said: "Before we set off, Professor Dumbledore told me, Ron, you are in my team today, Eric, you are in a team, but you have to Bring Fang, it will show you the way."

Fang was referring to Hagrid's dog.

Hagrid handed the rope to Eric, and asked the two, "Any questions?"

Ron swallowed, and Eric shook his head saying it was all right.

Hagrid, who had been worrying about Buckbeak, was obviously absent-minded. He nodded perfunctorily and said, "Then let's go."

After speaking, he took the lead and walked forward.

Ron glanced at Eric anxiously, and followed Hagrid's footsteps involuntarily.

Until he followed Hagrid into the Forbidden Forest, Ron was still looking at Eric who stood still.

Seeing Ron and Hagrid disappear into the Forbidden Forest, Eric gently pulled his teeth and said with a smile: "Then let's set off too."

The area Hagrid assigned him was on the other side of the Forbidden Forest.

Yaya whined and followed Eric to the other side of the Forbidden Forest.

……

After half an hour.

Deep in the forbidden forest.

Beside a long-abandoned wooden house, Sirius and Lupine, who had been waiting for a long time, finally heard the sound of someone passing through the woods from behind.

The two people who had closed their eyes to rest looked up together.

I saw Eric coming out of the woods with his teeth.

Upon seeing the stranger, Fang suddenly became extremely irritable and started barking at Sirius.

"Shh..." Eric mouthed and said softly.

With a wave of his wand, Eric used a spell to completely silence Fang Fang's voice.

Yaya barked a few more times, and found that he could not make a sound at all. He looked at Eric who had just pointed his wand at him in horror, and stepped back several steps in fear.

Relying on animal instinct, Yaya suddenly realizes that Eric is the person who scares him the most here.

Although Eric didn't exude any momentum, Yaya was just instinctively unwilling to get close to Eric.

Lupine said, "Let me lead it."

Eric asked, "Professor, have you taken any medicine these days?"

"Of course." Lupine said, "You specifically reminded me that I will not make such a mistake."

After saying that, Lupine stepped forward to take the rope from Eric's hand, and pulled the frightened Fang aside.

Sirius asked, "What's the matter?"

Eric said: "If my guess is correct, Peter is still in Ron's pocket."

Sirius took out the Marauder's Map from his pocket, took out his wand to activate the map, and then said with a grin: "That's right, that mouse stayed with Hagrid, he thought that as long as he stayed by Ron's side, we would There's nothing you can do about him."

Eric asked: "Where did you get the wand?"

Sirius said: "Lupine bought it. He has a black market channel. How can he use his own wand for such a thing?"

Without Eric taking the initiative to speak, Lupine took out another wand from the side, threw it to Eric, and asked, "Try it, can it work?"

Eric waved it casually, and under the effect of the wand's adaptability, the wand felt naturally close to him.

"No problem." Eric laughed, putting the acacia wand away.

Eric looked at Sirius and asked, "Has your magic power recovered?"

"Of course." Sirius said.

After this period of adjustment, Sirius has completely gotten rid of the state of not having enough food and clothing when he just escaped from prison.

On the contrary, he is full of energy now, living in Hogwarts, with Lupine taking care of him, eating well and drinking hot food.

Sirius even got fatter.

Now only the damage caused by the dementors over the years is still aching, but that is an old disease, and it cannot be recovered in a short time.

Sirius took out a few bottles of potions from his pocket, handed them to Eric and Lupine, and asked, "This is the potion you asked for by name, but I don't understand, what is the use of these potions?"

Eric smiled and said, "They are useful. I have a hunch that we will have some special guests tonight."

"Guest?" Sirius and Lupine asked in unison.

Eric smiled and did not answer, but said: "Peter and Ron are together, I will be responsible for catching him, Sirius, you need to help me distract Hagrid who is beside them, once Hagrid finds you, he will character, will definitely try to catch you no matter what."

"Okay." Sirius nodded.

"What about me? I'm going to help Sirius?" Lupine asked.

Eric shook his head: "No, Professor, you have another mission. Among the potions that Sirius gave you just now, there is a bottle of elixir of happiness. You should take it now. You are a very important part tonight and cannot make mistakes."

"What do you want me to do?"

Eric said: "You need to arrange an anti-apparition spell in the Forbidden Forest."

Chapter 133 Black Appears!angry hagrid

Lupine wondered, "Anti-Apparition? What do you mean? Anyone else coming tonight besides us?"

Within the confines of Hogwarts Castle, no one is allowed to Apparate.

But outside the gates of Hogwarts, this restriction does not exist.

The Forbidden Forest where Eric and the others are currently located is located next to Hogwarts, and covers a rather large area, so it is not considered part of Hogwarts.

To be precise, Hogwarts just happens to be adjacent to the Forbidden Forest.

And the anti-apparition spell is the only way that can be deployed in advance to effectively target apparition.

Eric said: "We'll see, Professor, this is just in case. I hope Professor you can release a counter-enchantment that limits a large area, so in addition to the elixir of blessing, there are a few bottles that can enhance Professor, you can take the potion of magic power and concentration together."

Lupine thought about it, then nodded slowly.

Now that he has chosen to trust Eric, he will not easily question Eric's decision.

What's more, at this point, they have no way out.

Eric asked, "Professor, have you notified the Director of Law Enforcement?"

Eric was referring to Amelia Bones, whom they had met before at Hogwarts.

Lupine said: "I have a friendship with her, and I have done what you said. I said in the letter that I found a clue about Black. If it was me, she would definitely believe it."

Sirius said impatiently: "Okay? It's time for us to set off."

"There is one last thing." With a wave of Eric's wand, he summoned a pure white Patronus, dancing mischievously in the air.

Under Eric's intentional control, the patron saint still maintains the appearance of an eagle.

Eric said to the patron saint: "Please tell Fudge that the time has come."

Eric's patron saint nodded, without hesitation, flapped his wings and flew towards the castle.

Fudge is now at Hogwarts Castle.

He was able to come to Hogwarts today, naturally to follow the agreement with Eric.

After the Christmas break, Eric promised to tell Fudge where Sirius was.
