Chapter 370 Sirius: I Am Just Reckless, Not Stupid.

“Expecto Patronus!”

The silver-white stag flew out of Harry’s wand and fought with Buckbeak.

Of course, neither side was serious, they just made some noises in the woods in a playful way.

Two days ago, when Harry faced Fluffy, he summoned a complete Patronus after trying several times, but the big dog just slapped Harry’s Patronus away with a light slap.

So Harry had to change his opponent to Buckbeak, and Harry himself was more familiar with this hippogriff.

Sirius stood aside, looking at the stag summoned by Harry with nostalgic eyes, feeling extremely relieved.

Harry was able to summon a physical Patronus in the third grade. He was worthy of being the child of James and Lily, and he was very talented.

You have to know that they all mastered the Patronus Charm after the fifth grade...except Peter Pettigrew.

Damn, why didn’t I think of it at that time! An evil wizard at heart cannot summon a Patronus!

However, at that time, they just thought that Peter's talent was not good enough, and Sirius laughed at him several times for this.

Although Peter could not summon the Patronus, it was very likely that he really did not have enough talent, but Sirius was still annoyed about it. He was now obsessed, and he would become very irritable as long as he was involved with Peter Pettigrew.

"Shangfeng, are you okay?"

Just as Sirius was breathing heavily and constantly digging the ground with his claws, Harry suddenly came over and asked with concern.

In fact, Harry didn't know what was going on. He had only known this big dog for a few days, but he felt very close to it, and Shangfeng's attitude towards him was also very gentle...

It made Harry want to take this dog back to raise it.

Unfortunately, the Dursleys would never agree.

"Woo..."

Sirius calmed down and whimpered softly, then licked Harry's palm, indicating that he was fine.

Harry looked at him carefully, and saw that the big black dog was just looking at him gently as usual, so he was relieved and continued to "practice" with Buckbeak.

Sirius found a place to lie down and quietly stayed by Harry's side.

He had tried to sneak into the castle these two days, but because there were few people during the holidays and the professors did not have classes, the school's internal security level was much higher, and Sirius's infiltration naturally became more difficult.

So he simply stopped thinking about it and stayed by Harry's side and watched him.

After a while, Fish also came to the Forbidden Forest and moved Harry to the castle.

Unlike Fish, as a key target, Harry could not disappear in front of everyone for too long.

After Harry left, it was Fish's turn to make a noise.

"Expecto Patronus! Meow!"

(●ΦωΦ●)つ━☆*.

Sirius, who was about to leave, subconsciously stopped when he heard Fish also recite the Patronus Charm. He was still sighing in his heart that the young wizards nowadays were really amazing. There was actually another one who learned the Patronus Charm... What the hell!

Sirius stared at the giant Patronus waving several "tentacles" in front of him in a daze. With Fish's laughter, he tied up the three-headed dog named Fluffy into a giant silkworm and lifted it high into the air.

Sirius, who saw Fish's Patronus for the first time, was once again thankful... Fortunately, Fish was not there when he broke into the Gryffindor dormitory!

In addition...

Are you sure that such a "movement" can really attract "Sirius Black" instead of scaring him away?

Although I, Sirius, am an old Gryffindor reckless man, I am not a fool!

The big black dog lay on the ground and calmed down for a long time before he stood up staggeringly, shaking his head and staggering away from here.

...

Just as Fish and Harry were carrying out their plan, colorful Christmas decorations were set up in other parts of the castle as in previous years. Thick ribbons of holly and mistletoe were hung in the corridor, and mysterious lights flickered in each suit of armor.

On Christmas Day, Fish's dormitory was once again filled with a large number of gift boxes, and the twins and Percy came here early as in previous years to help Fish open the gifts.

The gifts Fish received this year were not much different from those in the previous two years. In addition to some new snacks from the Muggle society, the most interesting gift was from Hermione.

She gave Fish a small flying car, which Hermione transformed from a toy car from the Muggle society, and was very suitable for Fish, who had turned into a cat.

However, Fish already had a children's flying broom given by Professor McGonagall, and now he could use a semi-finished Patronus to send himself to the sky, not to mention the large group of flying creatures in the Forbidden Forest, so this flying car was just an interesting toy for him.

After opening Fish's gift, everyone also opened the gifts of Harry, Ron, and Neville, who also stayed at school.

Harry's Christmas present was nothing special, but Ron, in addition to his ever-changing purple sweater, also received a gift from the twins - a complete set of Chudley Cannons souvenirs.

"Oh my God! Is this really for me?!"

Ron was holding the box filled with various badges, cards, uniforms and other souvenirs, and was so surprised that he was a little at a loss.

"Of course, dear little Ronnie." George raised his chin proudly.

Then Fred took over, he gestured with his index finger and thumb, and said in a reserved manner: "As you know, we recently made a little money with Fish."

"So I'm just giving you a set of souvenirs, it's no big deal."

"Besides, the Chadli Cannons have had a poor record in the past two years and spent much less money than we expected."

Ron was so happy that he didn't even care about the twins teasing about the Chudley Artillery Team.

Only Percy seemed a little embarrassed. Of course he also gave Ron a gift, but the thing he gave was not worth mentioning.

Then they opened Neville's Christmas presents together and found a book called "Manipulating Your Memory" inside.

"Uh... Uncle Algie sent this to me..." Neville's fat face turned red, "He always wants to stimulate my potential..."

Regarding Neville's uncle, Harry and the others had heard Neville mention it before. He was a ruthless man who pushed an eight-year-old child into a lake and threw him down a building.

"Ahem, at least he didn't want to throw you off the stairs this time, right?"

Ron, who was in a happy mood, patted Neville on the shoulder and comforted him.

Although this doesn't seem to have any effect.

After opening the gifts, everyone went to the auditorium together. The twelve Christmas trees were placed in the auditorium as usual, with golden stars shining on the trees.

Due to the large number of people staying in the school, only two of the four house desks were removed. Students from the four houses all sat together. However, judging from the positions where everyone sat, Slytherin was obviously not that popular. Most of them were gathered together, while students from the other three colleges were sitting among each other.

Harry, Ron and Neville found the Hufflepuff students who usually attended class together and sat with them. Fish then jumped up to the teacher's table and sat down with Professor McGonagall. around.

After a while, Professor Trelawney, who rarely appeared in the auditorium, also came to the auditorium. She chatted with Dumbledore in a nonchalant manner, then ran to sit on the other side of Fish, causing everyone to Professor McGonagall rolled her eyes.

"Everyone is here," Dumbledore stood up, looked around with a smile, waved and said, "Eat happily!"

"Professor Lupine seems to have disappeared again."

Harry glanced at the teacher's desk and whispered to Ron.

"Who knows, maybe he went back for vacation?"

Ron didn't care about Lupin's whereabouts. He struggled to put various foods on his plate and answered casually.

Hermione, who was sitting opposite the two of them, looked at her for a moment but said nothing.

In the original book, Sirius did nothing during the Christmas holidays, so I can only explain it this way.

…

The Chudley Cannons have not won the league championship since 1892. They were ranked ninth in 1992, and there are 19 teams in the British League in HP.

Then they ranked last in 1998 and lost 16 games in a row in 1999.

The "Daily Prophet" also published an advertisement, "Chadri Cannons Souvenirs - Fans "Draw a Clear Line" From It."

When asked if the Chudley Cannons would ever win a game, Rowling responded, "They would have to replace the entire team and drink several cauldrons of Felixir."

In short, this team that Ron is a fan of is going downhill like crazy at this time.

In Rowling's original setting, she planned to write Ron to death. Looking at it this way, her malice towards Ron is quite deep...

…

In addition, Christmas in 1993 was on the 13th day of the lunar calendar, which was a gibbous moon. There were two days until the full moon. If Lu Ping had to rest, he should rest only after the full moon. There was no problem before his transformation.

In the original book, at the end of the semester, on the day he was about to transform, he ran to Sirius to confront him like a normal person.

Needless to mention, that day was indeed the 15th of the lunar calendar.

Thanks whttty for the tip.
