Hogwarts: The Strongest Animagus Ever

Sirius hugged Charlotte for a long time, his eyes sparkling with tears, and he looked a little out of control for the first time in a long time.

"Sorry." Sirius looked at Charlotte, then reached out and touched the heads of the two children: "Okay, I've prepared dinner for you. Oh, I almost forgot. Let me put your things in first."

Knowing that Charlotte liked reading, Sirius arranged Charlotte's bedroom next to the Black family library.

Although it is called a library, Blake's collection of books cannot be accommodated in one or two rooms.

"Do you like reading very much?" Sirius put Charlotte's box away and saw that Charlotte's eyes were always on the library, so he asked curiously.

Charlotte nodded: "There are always many interesting things in the wizarding world, but I am still studying at Hogwarts, so there are many things I can't see in person. I think it's okay to read the book first and then go to see it later."

"Well, I heard from Harry that you can now choose your own courses in school. You are indeed a genius wizard. Headmaster Dumbledore is not so generous to us." Sirius joked.

Charlotte smiled and said, "Everyone has their own way of learning."

After putting everything away, Sirius took Charlotte and Harry downstairs, and a long-eared house-elf brought the dishes to the dining table.

Charlotte glanced at the elf.

Perhaps because of the agreement between house-elves and wizards, the clothes of every elf are very tattered. Even the elves from big families like the Malfoy and Black families only wear very simple and even tattered strips of cloth.

Seeing Charlotte's eyes resting on the elf, Sirius said, "He is the elf of our Black family, or rather, he was originally the elf of my brother Regulus, Kreacher~¨."

Kreacher glanced at Charlotte and Potter, bowed his head towards them, then turned and left the restaurant.

Sirius put his arms around the two of them and said, "Well, it's a rare occasion that there's one more member of the Black family. Let's have dinner together. I hope that tonight's dinner will be appreciated by both of you."

On the table was a very traditional English dinner, with roast beef, potatoes and broccoli. Charlotte was happy with all the Western food she could eat, and Kreacher's cooking skills were really good, so the three of them were very satisfied with the meal.

"You can go for a walk on the street later. I heard there will be a magic circus today. We can go and see it together!" said Sirius.

Harry was very happy: "Really? I have never seen a magic circus, what will be inside?"

"There will be a lot of magical creatures in there. I don't think you have learned that yet. The magical creatures course will be your course next year." Sirius said, then looked at Charlotte: "For you, I think you may have already learned this course?"

Charlotte was eating his favorite Yorkshire pudding for dessert.

"I haven't attended it, but I'm looking forward to it. I'll go there when the time comes." Charlotte winked at Harry, and Harry said happily, "Great! I haven't seen you in class for a long time."

The three of them chatted while eating. After the meal, Sirius took Charlotte and Harry to go out. Before they went out, the bell at the door rang.

Sirius thought for a moment and said to the two of them, "I'm sorry, I think our plan may have to be postponed. You stay here first, and I'll come to you after I finish my business."

Sirius walked out of the restaurant and went to the door and opened it.

It was Remus Lupin outside the door. Lupin was carrying a box. He looked at Sirius and said, "I have something to tell you. Is Harry here?"

Sirius nodded, and Lupin looked very anxious, as if something important had happened.

"Yes, Charlotte is here too. If there is anything, I think we can go upstairs to talk." Sirius said in a low voice. Lupin nodded and followed Sirius upstairs.

Charlotte and Harry sat in the restaurant, watching Sirius take Lupin upstairs. Harry greeted Lupin, and Lupin responded by greeting Charlotte.

"That's Remus Lupin, Sirius said. He was also a former friend of my father. They and Pettigrew were once the Marauders of Hogwarts," said Harry.

Charlotte nodded, somewhat absentmindedly.

Lupin?

Although it was not strange that Lupin appeared here, he could clearly feel that Lupin seemed nervous.

What is he nervous about?

Could it be that they have also discovered Voldemort's trace?

Speaking of this, Charlotte almost forgot to tell Dumbledore about this matter, but thinking that Dumbledore probably knew about it a long time ago, he let the matter go.

"¨' I think our plan may be ruined." Charlotte poked the potatoes on the plate and said, "Are you talking about us going to the circus?" Harry asked.

Charlotte nodded, and Harry pursed his lips and said, "By the way, Charlotte, can I ask you for a favor?"

Harry looked at Charlotte and said embarrassedly: "I, I..."

"We are friends. We can talk directly if you have anything to say." Charlotte looked at Harry and blinked.

"I...I've been dreaming recently, and the whole time I'm dreaming about Dementors." Harry thought as he thought of the Dementors' appearance.

During this period, he kept dreaming about Dementors. He dreamed that he appeared on the train to Hogwarts. When he opened the door, there were Dementors everywhere. When those horrible monsters saw him, they pounced on him and screamed at him desperately.

He ran wildly in the train, but he could not escape the Dementors at all. The Dementors chased him like flies.

And at the end of these dreams, a white light would appear. It was Charlotte’s white thunderbird that protected him again and again.

Harry told Charlotte his dream, and Charlotte found it very interesting.

It seems that whether Harry was almost kissed by the Dementors or not, what was meant to come always came back.

So, before Harry could stammer out his thoughts, Charlotte said, "The spell I used that day was the Patronus Charm, which can release my own patronus to drive away the Dementors."

"Of course, Dementors have no souls and theoretically cannot be killed. They are creatures of death and can only be driven away with the Patronus Charm."

Chapter 173: The escaped prisoner of Azkaban!

Harry listened to Charlotte carefully, and when Charlotte finished speaking, he said, "I understand, Charlotte, can you teach me this spell? I want to learn this spell."

As long as he learned this spell, he would no longer be afraid of Dementors.

At the beginning, the feeling given by the Dementors really made Harry feel very bad, and it made him see many painful memories.

Charlotte nodded: "Of course."

They had only seen a few Dementors in Hogsmeade at the beginning, but by the next semester, there would probably be more Dementors.

The two were talking happily downstairs. Sirius stood at the stairs, glanced at the two of them, smiled, and took Lupin into the study upstairs.

"Lupin, what happened?" Sirius sat on the sofa, and Lupin sat opposite him, frowning.

"Although Azkaban has been rebuilt, the prisoners have already escaped in all directions. The Ministry of Magic has been trying to capture those fugitives recently, but they haven't caught any of them."

Sirius frowned: "I know, you come here now to tell me that they might appear here?"

Only the Secret-Keeper can tell the location of the Order of the Phoenix headquarters. The current Secret-Keeper is Dumbledore. Even though Pettigrew was once a member of Order 303, he cannot leak the location of the Order of the Phoenix.

It can be said that as long as Dumbledore is alive, the Order of the Phoenix is ​​the safest place besides Hogwarts.

"Yes, you know what Dumbledore told me?" Lupin looked at Sirius.

Sirius sat up immediately, his expression serious: "About the mysterious man?"

Lupin and Sirius were best friends, and Sirius knew almost everything Lupin was going to say.

"Dumbledore did not deny the fact that Voldemort was killed, but this also means that he may have other means to be reborn. Don't forget, we thought he had disappeared completely, but he reappeared last time."

"Although the Death Eaters have calmed down, the crisis is far from resolved. There are still many problems."

Sirius nodded, "Who killed You-Know-Who?"

The Ministry of Magic did not make this matter public, but simply wrote a sentence in the Daily Prophet, raising a toast to the strange great wizard.

But no specific details were mentioned, and this attempt to cover up the truth made something that should have been celebrated on a large scale become a little weird.

"Principal Dumbledore didn't say that, he just said that man would not be our opponent and that we would know sooner or later," said Lupin.

Dumbledore has his own considerations. Even if he didn't say it, Lupin wouldn't force him to answer, and the same goes for Sirius.

"But you need to be careful, Sirius." Lupin looked at Sirius: "Bella is also on the run. She may be fine in Azkaban, but she knows the location here. Although she doesn't know that this is the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix, if she comes here..."

Lupin stared at Sirius with calm eyes, with some worry in them.

The person the Order of the Phoenix should worry about is not Pettigrew but Bellatrix Lestrange.

Sirius' eyes flashed with caution: "I know you're worried. Harry will stay at the Black family. I will never let him get hurt again. What happened last time will never happen again!"

Lupin nodded: "Okay, but this time you have to protect not only Harry, but also the child."

"Of course, he helped me and released me from Azkaban. Even if it costs my life, I will protect him well," said Sirius.

To this day, Sirius still cringes when he thinks of his time in Azkaban.

That cruel and inhumane punishment made him feel that death might be a easier thing.

.

At this time, downstairs, Harry took Charlotte to a relatively spacious room, and Charlotte took out her wand.

Although the Ministry of Magic prohibits students from using magic outside of school and places traces on students, the scope of the traces is actually very rough. If it happens in a wizard family, it is completely difficult to tell whether it is an adult wizard or a minor who is using magic.

At this time, the little wizard can only rely on his own awareness.

Charlotte took out her wand and said, "The Patronus Charm is not a simple spell. First you have to think of something happy in your mind."

Harry stood nearby, also holding a spell in his hand: "Happy things?"

"Yes, something that makes you feel extremely happy and joyful."

Dementors like to absorb people's emotions. They usually stir up the most painful and sad things in people's hearts to make people's emotions fluctuate so that they can suck souls. Therefore, only pleasant things can keep Dementors away.

Harry frowned, he could think of many happy things, such as every day he spent in Hogwarts. Hogwarts was like his home. Even though Snape looked at him with such hateful eyes, he still liked Hogwarts very much.

Of course, he also felt very happy when he was with Sirius.

But Harry always felt that this was not enough.

"If you think about these things and then say Expecto Patronus, you can summon your own Patronus to help you drive away the Dementors."

Harry repeated the spell: "Expediate Patronus?"

Charlotte nodded and held out her wand: "I'll show you a demonstration."

Then, Charlotte shouted, "Expecto Patronus!"

A white spot of light lit up from the tip of Charlotte's wand, and the light as bright as day soon transformed into a huge white thunderbird. Unlike ordinary Patronus, Harry keenly noticed that there were flowing golden lines on the thunderbird's body.

The white and gold intertwined together looks very pleasing to the eye.

There were no Dementors nearby, and the Thunderbird circled around the room, then flew to Charlotte's hand, rubbed his hand, and then dissipated into the air.

"So strong..." Harry murmured, he looked at Charlotte: "Can I, can I do this?"

Charlotte nodded. There was this soul fragment in Harry's body. Although it was only a fragment, it greatly increased Harry's magic power.

As long as he is in special circumstances, such as when he is extremely frightened or in other extreme emotional situations, his magic power will increase.

Otherwise, an ordinary Hogwarts second-year student would not be able to use advanced spells such as Expecto Patronus.

Harry seemed eager to try. He picked up his wand and shouted into the air: "Expedience Patronus!!"

The air before my eyes did not change at all, not even a white light.

Harry blinked: "It seems, failed?"

Chapter 174: Charlotte’s companions!

Harry looked at his wand, feeling a little frustrated.

Charlotte said: "This is not a simple spell. One failure is not something to be frustrated about."

Charlotte reached out and patted Harry's shoulder to comfort him. Harry looked up at Charlotte and nodded: "Thank you, Charlotte, I will learn it. At least, maybe I won't cause you any trouble at the critical moment."

Harry always felt a little guilty about causing trouble for Charlotte in Hogsmeade.

Because he is weak, it seems that he can only be protected by Charlotte.

In fact, it's not just Harry who feels the same way. Ron, Joya, and Hermione also feel the same way. Charlotte often leaves Hogwarts to do things on her own.

Although they didn't know what Charlotte was going to do, it was really painful to think that as a friend they couldn't share the burden with their friend.

This semester, the four of them hardly slept once in Professor Flitwick's class, and they studied and reviewed spells very seriously every time.

Thinking of his final score in Charms class, Harry felt a little better.

After practicing a few times, Harry put away his wand as Sirius called Charlotte and his name outside.

Harry and Charlotte came out of the room, and Harry asked, "Sirius, are we going to the circus?"

Sirius nodded with a gentle smile on his face, "Of course."

Lupin smiled at the two of them from behind and said, "Will you allow me to go with you?"

"Of course!" they said in unison.

The four people started from the fireplace of the Black family and chanted a magical street in England, and then the two of them immediately appeared on the street.

There is no custom of celebrating the New Year in the West, but the streets are still very busy, after all, this is the winter vacation time.
