Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 229 Two boys who survived

Although he had been mentally prepared for Professor Heimer's interview, Harry found that he still underestimated Professor Heimer's abilities.

Unknowingly, among the owls flying to Hogwarts, there were suddenly not so many letters with a denunciatory meaning, but they were all changed to other purposes——

That is the famous Harry Potter!

Gryffindor dormitory.

"Why!"

"Why has no one ever told us that the great savior lived in such a miserable state - living in a cupboard under the stairs - do you dare to imagine that there are still wizards who need to live in such a humble way?! I have never heard of anything like this.

It’s so bad—eh?”

Ron, who was trying to imitate his tone, frowned and said dissatisfied: "This man seems to be an admirer of Grindelwald. Let me see the wizard is supreme - yes, only those people can talk like this. It's really bad

, how about I read it from another one?"

He pointed at the letters and packages piled up next to the sofa. Fred opened a large mysterious gift and took out a large bottle of glass balls, which were colorful and kept shining beautifully.

"Infatuation stars." He winked at Harry and said, "It is said that as long as you make each star with your own hands and give it to the person you like, you can get the other person's obsession - I dare say, I will send you this package.

It must be a girl, Ginny is going to have a rival - no -"

George was surprised and said: "What's wrong? Is the person who sent it a boy? Wow, another pair of Dark Lord and White Wizard, be sure to let me witness your love with my own eyes - by the way, which one do you want to choose? Black

Demon King? Or White Wizard?"

"Keep your voice down." Harry reminded. The twins were the only active people in the castle. According to them, since they couldn't avoid it, they didn't need to worry about it at all. There were a lot of things to worry about.

, it will never be finished in a lifetime.

However, Harry was not worried that these letters of condolences to him would be read by others, because Professor Heimer clearly said that he would personally check every letter and package. This was a necessary means in special times, and there might be little ones among them.

Sirius sent it secretly.

I don't know where Sirius is hiding.

Harry knew a lot of things from Professor Heimer. Although he described Sirius not very well, Harry could not help but have good hopes for Black - that was his godfather and the closest person to his parents.

A close friend. Perhaps it can also be regarded as the closest relative he has in this world.

This is, George has seen the contents of the letter.

"No wonder you shouted like that -" Fred raised the letter and said, "It's all written in Russian - are there any students in the school who understand Russian?"

"Now we need three more languages." Ron pointed to the newly opened envelope and said, frowning and reading a new letter in his hand: "What language is this written in? You seem to have

Veela worshiper, Harry - no, this guy's English isn't very good. Let me take a closer look, he says he's from Demus -"

"Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry?" Neville also came over curiously and asked: "It is said that the man from New Mengadry graduated from this school -"

"To be precise, it should be expelled." Dean held a copy of the latest "Daily Prophet" in his hand and said, "The latest serial came out in the morning. Haven't you seen it?"

There were all kinds of letters sent to Harry - comforting, questioning, insulting and slanderous, and some thinking that what he said was true - in fact, Harry himself didn't know whether it was true or not, because some

He heard a lot of things from Professor Heimer - including how Sirius was once a popular person, but ended up like this ghost now, and had to stay in the Ministry of Magic until the corpse stunk.

Even if he is rotten, he will not be buried.

On the night when this report appeared, the Ministry of Magic solemnly stated through the Daily Prophet that they had carefully preserved Sirius's body to ensure that it would not rot - however, this only brought them a lot of resistance -

—Who said this was all caused by the Ministry of Magic’s mistakes?

Harry wanted to stay away from this dispute, but he also wanted to find Sirius as soon as possible. Otherwise, according to Professor Hemmer, once Grindelwald's men discovered that Sirius was not dead earlier than them, his fate would be very serious.

It is possible that death would be worse than life.

In the end, Harry endured it all silently. He asked Professor Heimer to return the high-value gifts sent to him - some people even gave Harry gold directly, probably thinking that he could not live a better life.

A normal life of eating. But Harry couldn't accept the money with peace of mind.

When returning, he would also write a letter of thanks, which was not many words, but Professor Heimer encouraged him to do this, otherwise it may lead to some misunderstandings. Wait for "The Quibbler"

Also make a statement to Harry: please do not send any valuable items. Then these people will understand.

Having said that, Harry found that his popularity was beyond imagination.

Of course, this is all thanks to Professor Heimer's superb photography skills. The formula of his developing potion is unknown from where, making Harry in "The Quibbler" look lifelike, as if he will be drawn from paper in the next second.

jumped out, held the reader's shoulders and shook him violently, crying angrily: "I'm so miserable! I'm really so miserable!"

This made Harry even more sympathetic - especially in Europe. Harry never thought that his story would be so exaggeratedly popular in Europe - that is, even individual wizards would worship Harry.

This is really an interesting thing.

Before coming to the wizarding world, Harry was already worshiped by many wizards in Britain, calling him the Boy Who Lived.

Now, Harry has not been to Europe, but he is treated the same way.

Moreover, Mr. Al's polishing made Harry's experience even more legendary - the boy who survived the attacks of two Dark Lords should be called the two boys who survived - Voldemort and Grindelwald.

, there are not many named people who can survive against them.

One of them is the center of public opinion recently - Albus Dumbledore.

In fact, some readers have expressed implicit worries in their letters that Harry will follow Dumbledore's old path. This made Harry very angry. What is Dumbledore's old path?

Harry had already asked Ron, and then they got the answer together from Hermione - obviously, due to the influence of the "Secrecy Act", the Obscurus was not allowed to exist - they were too easy to expose. But the whole

The magical world does not have a proper way to deal with Obscurus. If Ariana is really sent to the hospital, what awaits her is almost a permanent sleep.

The healers would not let an Obscurial wake up, as that would kill all those caring for the Obscurial.

This made Harry feel extremely sympathetic to Dumbledore. It was clear that the principal was the one who needed comfort the most at this time, not him, the boy who survived two disasters.

"Killing me!"

Harry suddenly laughed out loud when he saw Ron holding the crooked letter.

"Looking at this letter, I finally understand it. The previous content is fine. Many of Durmstrang's students' relatives were killed by Grindelwald's men. Their attitude towards you is quite friendly -

-The key is the following paragraph. This man said that he might be a pen pal with you, and he also planned to teach you how to play Quidditch! Listen to it! Harry, Quidditch! This man wants to teach you how to play Quidditch——

Oh my goodness!"

Harry took the envelope and barely made out the reader's last name - Krum.

"Don't say that, Durmstrang doesn't ban Quidditch." After finishing speaking, Harry hesitated whether to write a reply to this person.

Pen pal? Sounds pretty novel.

"Harry! Harry, are you there?"

Hermione suddenly burst into the dormitory in a hurry. With an anxious look on her face, she didn't even care about the twins' deliberate gestures to cover their bodies - their actions won Ron's praise - because they were covering their faces.

"Why didn't I think of that?" Ron didn't know what he thought of.

"What's wrong?" Harry asked in surprise. If there wasn't an important reason, Hermione wouldn't just break into their dormitory - maybe Christmas would be an exception.

"Follow me." Hermione lowered her voice and became mysterious again.

Harry greeted several people in the room, and then followed Hermione outside.

Ron also followed, and he seemed to have guessed something.

The three of them left the common room and found an empty classroom and got into it.

After closing the door and making sure there was no one else in the classroom, Hermione said in an astonishing voice: "Sirius has appeared."

"What?!" Harry asked quickly: "Where is he? Is it Professor Heimer? Did Professor Heimer find him?"

"No." Hermione shook her head, her tone became hesitant, and even her eyes looked a little strange: "This matter has nothing to do with Professor Hemmer - to be precise, it is Crookshanks."

Hermione was referring to the big orange cat she raised, which looked majestic. Ron preferred to call it a little tiger. It was equally ferocious and had been chasing and biting Scabbers before.

It’s scary to think about it now – who could have known it would be Peter Pettigrew?

Ron looked at Hermione carefully: "Are you also secretly practicing devil magic? What kind of animal did you summon? Is it a stupid idiot with a broken brain?"

"I'm not kidding!" Hermione glared at Ron angrily: "What I said is true - do you still remember that it was Crookshanks who was the first to notice that something was wrong with Scabbers - after you changed one?

After petting the rat, Crookshanks stopped chasing it and biting it.”

Neither Harry nor Ron could refute what Hermione said, because it was the truth.

A very strange fact.

"The catnives are very smart." Hermione analyzed carefully: "The bloodline of Crookshanks may be more complicated than we thought - in short, it can detect some clues that are not easy to find. I guess it

It was also because he had seen so many rats that he was curious about the old Scabbers - ordinary rats certainly couldn't be that human-like, right? Maybe Crookshanks could also smell it, just like a dementor.

The same way wizards exist—"

"Wait a minute." Harry became more and more confused as he listened: "But what does this have to do with Sirius?"

"That's the problem!" Hermione couldn't help but become excited: "Animagus - I doubt Crookshanks can accurately determine the Animagus - first Scabbers, then Big

Black Dog - Peter Pettigrew and Sirius are both Animagus."

Ron extinguished Hermione's enthusiasm in time: "But what about the location? Where did you find the big black dog?"

Hermione's tone was indeed much calmer, even uneasy.

"Forbidden Forest." She said: "Yesterday, I went to Hagrid to review the lessons related to sniffing - by the way, I have tried many methods, but those ordinary sniffs really can't compete with Al

Mr. Comparison - OK, I will continue. When I was about to leave, I saw a shadow in the Forbidden Forest - a black shadow, which was different from the gray of the trees - "

"Wait a minute." Ron asked suspiciously: "What is the black shadow? Are you seeing a dementor?"

"They look different." Hermione said firmly: "And I asked Hagrid. Dementors actually don't like the Forbidden Forest because there are more animals in it, but the emotions of animals cannot be controlled.

What attracts Dementors is not as delicious as the emotions of Wizards - Hear me out first, I have also considered whether I saw it wrong, but you described it to me, Harry, it looked like a black bear, relatively large.

The little black bear - very thin, as if he hasn't eaten for a month."

"It sounds very similar." Harry frowned and said, "But even if what you said is true, why did Sirius appear in the Forbidden Forest? He couldn't break in alone, right?

"

Hermione suddenly stopped talking, and the worry in her eyes gradually deepened.

Ron continued Harry's train of thought and said: "If there is such a person - first of all, the other person must have enough time to contact Sirius, and he must have the ability to control the school gate. In addition, this person must be able to

Willing to contact Professor Highmore - not everyone knows that Sirius is still alive, but those who know almost all know that Professor Highmore is looking for him. Let me think about who this person might be."

Ron's eyes slowly widened, and Harry was too shocked to speak.

"Albus Dumbledore." Hermione said in an inaudible voice: "The Headmaster meets all the conditions - he has not been seen in public since the Ministry of Magic case, and he has plenty of time to find Sirius, and

The principal’s power is fully sufficient to do so.”

"But..." Harry said in horror: "Why did the principal do this? Aren't he and Professor Highmore a team? Why did he hide Sirius without telling Professor Highmore?"

"This is exactly what I'm worried about." Hermione looked worried: "You said-"

"Should we really see the Black Devil fighting the White Devil?"
