Chapter 312 Sirius Black

What Rice noticed was a big dirty black dog.

It looked no different from a stray dog. If Rice hadn't seen it on Privet Drive, he wouldn't have noticed anything unusual about the black dog from such a distance.

There are no two identical leaves in the world, and naturally there are no two identical black dogs.

Followed all the way from Privet Drive to Hogwarts? If you say there is no trick here, that's really an insult to Rice's intelligence. Coupled with the previous record of Dementors, Rice's sensitive nerves were touched at once.

He jumped directly from the platform outside the window and glided towards the black dog like a giant black bird.

...

Sirius was very tired. He had been on the road for the past month, almost without sleep. When he was hungry, he caught some small animals, or went to the Muggle community to steal something, rummaged through the trash cans, and when he was thirsty, he found a small river or irrigation canal to drink some cold water - he became a black dog and inherited the strong immunity of dogs, so nothing happened.

Finally, Sirius arrived at Hogwarts shortly after school started. This place is surrounded by Dementors, but he only needs to turn into a black dog to walk in under their noses.

He raised his head and glanced at the Hogwarts Castle not far away. His dry heart seemed to be soaked by a spring, but this gentleness was soon burned by the rising anger.

Peter Pettigrew! That despicable rat is hiding in the castle! He must catch that treacherous thing and then cut him into pieces to avenge James and the others.

Sirius was a man of action. He glanced at the position of the sun and judged that it was class time.

Then it seemed that he could sneak into the Gryffindor common room at this time and catch Peter out? The idea flashed through his mind and was rejected by Sirius himself.

The timing is not good enough now. There may be students without classes in the Gryffindor common room. If I break in, I will definitely alert them. Not only will Peter not be able to catch him, but I may also get myself into trouble. When Sirius was thinking seriously about the action plan, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. He looked up and was stunned: he saw a little wizard flying towards him. Yes, he had no broom or flying props under him. He was flying completely in the air. Before Sirius could react, the little wizard landed in front of him and stared at him. Sirius secretly said that it was not good. Just as he was about to tuck his tail between his legs and flee into the Forbidden Forest, he heard the little wizard speak. "Show your true form immediately and explain your purpose of entering here, otherwise there will be another skeleton in the Forbidden Forest." Sirius had no intention of entangled with him at all. He ran towards the Forbidden Forest with his four slender legs without looking back. As a result, after running a few steps, his feet tightened, and several black ropes appeared out of thin air on his ankles, tripping him and falling.

After falling, the ropes flew up directly into the air and tied him tightly.

Sirius suddenly felt overwhelmed: this student who skipped class had a good foundation in Transfiguration!

Rice walked to Sirius, grabbed the rope and lifted him up, and took him straight into the Forbidden Forest.

After going deep into the Forbidden Forest for more than ten meters, the two were surrounded by layers of trees. Rice casually threw the black dog in his hand under the shade of the tree, and then snapped his fingers, and the rope on the black dog loosened.

"Show your true self and explain your purpose of breaking into Hogwarts." He looked at the black dog under the shade of the tree expressionlessly, feeling that his patience was almost at its limit.

If Helga had witnessed what had just happened, she would definitely exclaim incredible-how did Salazar's temper become so mild? If he were the man a thousand years ago, he would have killed the black dog mercilessly when he chose to flee, so why would he give him a second chance to explain the situation?

This was an intruder who hid his true identity, broke into Hogwarts without permission, and chose to flee when faced with the interrogation of school administrators. Showing mercy to it would be irresponsible to the students.

From the little wizard's tone, Sirius discerned a hint of bad meaning. He no longer hesitated and showed his true form directly.

A thin, long-haired man like a skeleton appeared in front of Rice. If it weren't for the light in his eyes, Rice would have thought he was a corpse lying on the roadside.

But even though half of his face was hidden in the shadows, Rice still recognized his identity: the fugitive of the Ministry of Magic, Sirius Black.

This guy is the "culprit" of Hogwarts being surrounded by Dementors.

Les raised his eyebrows: "Sirius Black?"

After seeing that he was recognized, Sirius leaned back and sat down against the big tree behind him, admitting his identity very openly.

As for relying on the height advantage to launch a sneak attack on the boy in front of him, knock him down and then escape, this idea flashed through Sirius's mind and was dispelled by him, because he thought he was no match for the little guy in front of him.

Just now, he conjured a rope to tie himself up and loosen himself without using a wand, which shows that he is a wizard who is very good at wandless casting. Fighting with such a wizard, he will definitely lose.

Looking at Les's face, Sirius couldn't help but sigh for his youth: It's really amazing that he can cast spells without a wand at such a young age.

"Are the young wizards now so strong? The teaching quality of Hogwarts has really improved..."

"No, the teaching quality has declined a lot. I'm just special." Sirius' words touched Les' heartstrings, and he couldn't help but explain it for him.

"..." Sirius didn't know how to respond to this, and could only blame his bad luck.

"Let's stop chatting. Tell me the purpose of your entry here." Les ended the chat and asked, staring into Sirius' eyes.

Sirius was silent for a moment, and then told Les that he came for Peter Pettigrew.

At first, he thought that the little wizard opposite would be dismissive of this, and then told him "Peter Pettigrew is dead, you killed him", but the boy didn't show any sign of interrupting him, so he just opened the chatterbox and continued talking.

Perhaps it was because he hadn't talked to anyone for too long, and Sirius's chatterbox never closed again. He told all the misfortunes he had encountered.

After talking for nearly a quarter of an hour, Sirius finally finished his story. He leaned against the tree trunk and felt that his throat was about to smoke.

"This is why I ran out of Azkaban and all the way to Hogwarts..." Sirius panted and looked at Les: "I want to catch Peter Pettigrew."

However, the boy opposite still took out his wand from his arms.

Sirius closed his eyes in pain: Yes, who would believe an escaped prisoner from Azkaban?
