Days to grind friendship at Hogwarts

Sirius had just eaten several large bites of chicken, and stuffed most of the pumpkin pie into his mouth, and as expected, he choked himself.

Glenn sighed and handed him the silver jug ​​containing pumpkin juice.

He put the spout directly into his mouth without any fuss, and took several large sips before finally catching his breath.

"Eat slowly, no one will compete with you." Glenn pushed the pudding in front of his eyes again and said.

Sirius finally relieved the hunger in his belly, raised his head, and asked: "How did you know I was here?"

"The Marauder's Map, I saw your name appearing in the secret passage at the edge of the map." Glenn shrugged and threw out the answer he had prepared, "But compared to this, aren't you curious about why I know you?

?”

"Why?" Sirius asked, tearing off another chicken wing.

He seemed to accept the current situation and became much calmer.

Glenn smiled and said, "Dumbledore asked me to come. Ever since the news of your escape came out, he has told me your story."

When Dumbledore and that past incident were mentioned, Sirius's eyes dimmed obviously, perhaps because of guilt.

"Dumbledore should really want to send me back to Azkaban, right?" He sighed and said mockingly.

"On the contrary," Glenn said, "I'm here to help you."

"Help?" Sirius looked at him confused.

Glenn nodded: "You don't think Wormtail can fool Dumbledore with his tricks, do you?"

"You mean...Dumbledore knows that I was wrongly accused?!"

Sirius threw the bone in his hand and stood up in surprise.

"Don't get excited," Glenn waved and motioned for him to sit down first. "According to Dumbledore's speculation, you and Mr. Potter should have temporarily changed the Secret Keeper to Peter Pettigrew back then, right?"

"How do you know?" Sirius asked in surprise.

It seemed that because he had gained Dumbledore's trust, his eyes regained some sparkle.

Glenn explained: "This is all thanks to the Marauder's Map you left behind. In fact, Dumbledore was only a little skeptical over the years. Until a few days ago, I saw a map that was written more than ten years ago.

Names that should have disappeared appear on the Marauder's Map."

"Peter Pettigrew..." Sirius gritted his teeth and said the name.

"If I guess correctly, the reason why you escaped from prison was probably because you saw the rat in the photo in the Daily Prophet." Glenn looked at him sympathetically and asked.

Sirius nodded silently: "I saw the news and photos of the speeding car. He was with Harry and the Weasley boy."

"I have to say, this is a very smart choice." Glenn said, "You don't have to be homeless, but you can always keep abreast of the big and small things in the magical world."

"This damn... traitor..." Sirius clenched his hands and said through gritted teeth.

Apparently, he immediately loses his cool whenever Wormtail is mentioned.

"If I didn't show up, were you planning to break into the castle by yourself?" Glenn asked, looking at his clenched fists that were white-knuckled.

"Of course!" Sirius said without hesitation, "I will kill him with my own hands to avenge James and Lily."

Glenn rolled his eyes and asked, "What then?"

"Then?"

"Of course," Glenn said, "What after you kill him? Wander around the world? Or go back to Azkaban? I bet if you are caught by the Dementors again, they will not hesitate to give you

A... sweet kiss."

Sirius thought of the fear of being dominated by Dementors again, and shuddered involuntarily.

He hesitated for a long time and said blankly: "I don't know..."

Glenn was speechless: "Since you don't know, I suggest you not to act rashly for the time being and look at Dumbledore's plan first."

"What's Dumbledore's plan?" Sirius looked expectant.

"I don't know." Glenn shook his head, "Probably just to catch Wormtail and clear your name."

He spoke very vaguely and did not rush to make a guarantee. Peter Pettigrew's escape was a very important plot point and the key to Voldemort's return to the world.

If something goes wrong here, it's hard to guarantee whether the plot will develop in the original direction, including the escape of Barty Crouch Jr. and Voldemort's plan to use Harry's blood to resurrect.

Sirius pondered for a long time and nodded.

Ever since he escaped from prison, his mind had been filled with the flames of revenge, and he didn't even have any plans for the future. Now that he mentioned it, he suddenly felt a little more hopeful.

No one wants to live a life of wandering and hiding in Japan, and no one wants to go back to Azkaban and relive those cold days.

"Can I see Dumbledore?" he thought for a while and asked.

Glenn frowned slightly.

It's not impossible to meet, but not now.

Dumbledore didn't know that he had already known the whole story of the Secret Keeper incident. Once the two met, it was inevitable that he would have some explanations.

Even if you arrange a meeting, you have to wait until Dumbledore has made arrangements and laid the groundwork.

"I can't make any promises to you for the time being," he shook his head. "Whether we can meet or not depends on Dumbledore's answer."

Sirius nodded, expressing understanding.

"Your most important task now is to keep a low profile. Don't be caught by the Ministry of Magic and Dementors before we catch Peter."

Glenn looked at him seriously and continued,

"Dumbledore doesn't have any evidence. I'm just a little wizard under fifteen years old, a murderer who escaped from prison, and a deceased hero. No one will believe you."

Sirius did not retort, but lowered his head slightly dejectedly.

"You're right, I don't have much choice now, do I?"

"Stay here with peace of mind. I will write home and prepare a magic wand for you, as well as a smart cat, which can help you solve some daily eating and drinking problems."

Glenn thought of Crookshanks, who was supposed to appear a year later, and who was still ruling the Magic Pet Shop in Diagon Alley.

"good!"

Sirius agreed without hesitation. He had not experienced the feeling of holding a wand in his hand for more than ten years.

"By the way," he asked as if he remembered something, "choosing a wand shouldn't be an easy task."

Glenn gave him a funny look: "After chatting for so long, you still don't know my name, right?"

"Uh...I don't know..." Sirius nodded awkwardly.

"If you knew my name, you wouldn't ask such a question."

Glenn shrugged and said with a smile.

"My name is Glenn, Glenn Ollivander."
