Days to grind friendship at Hogwarts

Chapter 228 The plot of collapse

Campus life in the next few days was fairly uneventful.

In the original book, Master Malfoy relied on the Seven Nimbus 2001 to enter the academy team through the back door and did not happen.

He seemed to have completely lost interest in Quidditch and disappeared all day long. Even Crabbe and Goyle, his two die-hard followers, often couldn't find him.

It seems that since last year's Forbidden Forest dungeon, the so-called plot restraint has become inconsistent. The development of the entire plot has completely lost its rhythm and may become completely different at any time.

Since Ginny did not get Riddle's diary, the opening of the secret room became uncontrollable. Glenn had to look at the map whenever he had time and stare at Myrtle's bathroom to see if there were any suspects.

appear there.

Glenn also repeatedly recalled the scene in the bookstore. He indeed saw Lucius Malfoy's small movements and confirmed that the diary also appeared in Ginny's cauldron.

However, Master Malfoy's seemingly unintentional bump before leaving was somewhat intriguing.

Logically speaking, he should not know about the diary, and there is no reason to deliberately create a collision to take away the diary. Secondly, his actions at that time were very natural and done in one go. Even Glenn did not see anything wrong.

Although he is the most suspected at this time, other possibilities cannot be ruled out.

It would have been a lot of fun if Ginny hadn't picked up the diary at that time, but had been taken away by other students.

Early on Saturday morning, Glenn was eating breakfast a little tiredly. He kept observing for several days, but nothing happened.

"You don't look too good, are you okay?"

Qiu Duan gave him a cup of hot black tea, lightly lifted his skirt, and sat next to him.

"It's okay, but my sleep quality has been a bit poor recently." Glenn smiled at her and shook his head, "Eddie and Marcos are snoring more and more, and they always wake me up."

Qiu turned his head and glared at the two of them fiercely.

Eddie:???

Marcos:???

"Oh my God! Look at this!"

Just as the two were about to retort, Roger on the side let out an exclamation and handed over a copy of today's latest "Daily Prophet".

The photo on the front page showed a man in ragged clothes and unkempt hair. He was wearing a prison uniform, holding on to the iron railing with both hands, and roaring something ferociously from the front.

Glenn took the newspaper, frowned, and had an ominous premonition in his heart.

Although he was sure that he didn't recognize this man, his clothes and appearance looked familiar...

Sure enough, the headlines on the front page immediately confirmed his hunch.

"Warning! Azkaban Prison Escape - Sirius Black is on the run"

A spokesman for the Ministry of Magic confirmed that the escaped prisoner in Friday's prison break was Sirius Black, the most evil prisoner ever held in Azkaban Prison.

"We are doing our best to recapture Black," Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge said in an interview this morning. "We implore the wizarding community to remain calm."

According to relevant staff, Sirius Black is the only criminal to successfully escape from Azkaban in many years.

As one of the most loyal followers of You-Know-Who, eleven years ago, after its owner disappeared, Black used a spell to brutally kill thirteen people, including twelve Muggles and one wizard.

Fearing that the massacre would happen again, Minister Fudge decided to inform the Muggle Prime Minister of the Muggle crisis, although this move might arouse criticism from some members of the International Confederation of Wizards.

...

Glenn pinched his eyebrows, put the newspaper aside, and did not continue reading.

He never expected that a plot that was not supposed to happen now would actually happen a whole year in advance, which caught him off guard.

Judging from the camp alone, Sirius is definitely a good person with a good reputation, but this does not mean that he will not cause trouble for himself and Dumbledore.

His escape from prison means the arrival of the dementors.

In other words, in the next year, Hogwarts will face internal and external troubles. Basilisks are haunting inside, and dementors are watching outside.

Plus the reckless Padfoot and the evil-minded Wormtail.

There is also a young Malfoy who doesn't know what he is doing.

Glenn desperately discovered that the entire plot was developing uncontrollably towards collapse.

With his current strength, he can barely protect himself, but it is far from enough to protect everyone around him.

"Sirius Black..." Eddie pointed to the photo in the newspaper and said, "I heard that name!"

Marcos and Marietta, who were always most interested in gossip, immediately came over and eagerly waited to hear the story.

As the son of a merchant in Diagon Alley, Eddie knows far more about big things and small things than his peers. In addition, when his father was studying at Hogwarts, he also had interactions with James Potter and others.

Although they are in different grades and colleges, they still know a little bit about that story.

He recalled it and said: "I heard from my father that Black and Harry Potter's father were very good friends when they were in school. They formed a small team called the Marauders, with a total of four

Individuals, including a man named Lupine, and the wizard who was killed by him..."

"You mean, he killed his friend?!" Marietta shivered and asked sharply.

"Shh..."

Eddie raised his index finger to his mouth to signal her to control the volume.

"I just heard it, it may not be accurate..."

He looked around, lowered his voice and told them what he knew.

The plot he described was not complete, missing some details such as the secret keeper, but generally speaking, it was similar to what the professors knew.

"Merlin!" Marcos sighed, "How could there be such a cruel person in the world, who would blow his friend of so many years into pieces with his own hands..."

Qiu's face didn't look good either. She seemed to be shocked by Sirius's actions. She glanced at Harry from a distance, her eyes a little complicated.

When everyone left the auditorium, Glenn walked beside Qiu and whispered instructions.

"Don't tell Harry what Eddie just said."

Qiu nodded, expressing understanding.

"After all, Mr. Pettigrew is one of Harry's parents' best friends. If he knew about it, he might get mad and run out to avenge him..."

Although her guess was not very accurate, her grasp of Harry's character was fairly accurate.

"Actually, I know more than Eddie..." Glenn hesitated and said, "There is actually something hidden about that matter."
