Harry Potter and the Legend of the Temple

"Harry, have you ever considered that Black is innocent?"

"Innocent?" Harry frowned, then shook his head, "Impossible. If he is innocent, then why didn't he tell others? So many people can help him."

"Besides, you don't know what he did. He escaped from Azkaban and tried to enter the Gryffindor common room. Could this be done by an innocent man?"

Louis was about to say something, but he suddenly realized that he couldn't explain what happened to Sirius and Peter Pettigrew. Because in fact no one would believe what he said, after all, it was all empty talk.

After everyone comforted Harry for a while, they all went to their rooms to sleep. The dull atmosphere was not only felt on Christmas Eve, but also on Christmas Day the next day.

Harry didn't get up until noon on Christmas Day, looking extremely embarrassed. Ginny and Hermione were afraid that he would go out of his way to find trouble with Black. After all, that was a murderous demon, second only to Voldemort.

"The Dementors will catch Black, Harry, and go to Azkaban to suffer what he deserves."

"I know that." Harry responded, "But the dementors can't affect him. He won't suffer like others."

Harry looked extremely depressed at the thought of Black being on the loose and unable to do anything.

"Well, I think, Harry, you need to go out and get some fresh air." Louis held a copy of the Daily Prophet in his hand, "Looking for Hagrid might be a good choice."

"That's right Harry, and Hagrid still knows a lot about your parents." Hermione jumped up from the bench as if grasping a life-saving straw.

Louis frowned, reasoning that Hermione's behavior had been a bit abnormal recently. Ever since she saw Sirius' Animagus form, she had been interested in their affairs.

However, a shrill scream came from the boys' bedroom. Several of them looked over there in fear, and then, Ron appeared in front of everyone dragging a bed sheet.

"Look, what is this."

Ron angrily shook the sheet away, and everyone only saw a trace of bright red on the white sheet.

"Scabbers! It's Scabbers! How do you explain this, Hermione!" Ron growled at her.

"I don't know." Hermione was at a loss, "How could it..."

"Why not? This is blood, stained blood!" Ron shouted when everyone was silent, "It's dead, guess what I found on the ground."

Ron spread out his other hand, and Louis looked forward. It was the ginger cat fur.

"That shouldn't mean anything, Ron." Hermione said cautiously, "Maybe Scabbers is still hiding under someone else's bed."

"That's enough, Hermione." Ron didn't want to hear Hermione's explanation at all, "You protected that cat time and time again, and now that it has eaten Scabbers, you still pretend that it is innocent?"

"I..."

Hermione was so anxious that she almost cried. Although she knew that none of this was done by Crookshanks, the facts were before her eyes.

"Okay, Ron, haven't you always said how annoying Scabbers is? He's lazy, ugly, and has no abilities. Besides, he's lived for such a long time, and death is his final destination." Fred on the side A smooth settlement was made between the two of them.

"That's right, all you have to do is eat and sleep all day long. It's up to you, Ron." George also stepped forward and said.

"But he also bit Goyle." Ron muttered, "Harry was also there that day. Do you think it was Harry?"

"Well, right."

Harry was in no mood to care about Scabbers' disappearance, all he could think about was Sirius Black.

"That was probably its most glorious moment." Fred patted Ron on the shoulder, "The scars given to the enemy belong to the brave warriors, and Scabbers did it. Oh, okay Ron, buy another one. Mouse, wouldn’t it be over if you reconcile with Hermione?”

"But..." Ron wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Louis.

"Okay, Ron, it's just a mouse, it doesn't matter. This little bit of blood can't tell whether it's dead or not. Besides, if it's just injured, what day will it come back on its own?"

Will Peter Pettigrew be killed by a ginger cat? What a big joke.

Crookshanks seemed to be instructed by Sirius to observe Scabbers in the boys' dormitory. He was a very smart cat, and he knew at a glance that Scabbers was definitely not an ordinary mouse.

But Peter Pettigrew would not sit still and wait for death. While he was thinking about hurting Sirius, he was also afraid that Sirius would come to find him. So, he put on such a good show. Erase yourself in front of everyone so that your plan can be implemented perfectly.

The play was performed so perfectly that it could be described as seamless, but of course, he didn't expect that Louis had the dual blessings of Marking Potion and Marauder's Map, making it easy to find him.

Therefore, Louis was extremely sure in his heart that Banban was not dead, but was hiding in a corner enjoying the show.

By marking the potion, Louis discovered the mouse hiding in the right corner of the fireplace, but he was in no hurry to dig out Scabbers.

Since you left Ron on your own, the next steps will be easier to handle. Louis had been worried that if Scabbers had been hiding on Ron, once he and Sirius took action, Ron would definitely be the first to be injured. This was not the result he wanted to see.

"What you said makes sense." Ron sighed, with some tears flashing in his eyes, "But after all, Banban has been with me for so many years, and he is my best pet. It's just that I hate it and haven't caught it. To that damn cat."

"Everything is over, we can only pray silently." Louis patted Ron on the shoulder and glanced at the fireplace from time to time. Maybe the mouse was secretly having fun.

Huh, I'll let you be proud for a few more days.

But Ron did not apologize to Hermione, so the two began a cold war phase, because for Hermione, Crookshanks did nothing wrong.

But everyone's attention was focused on Sirius' matter. Several of them ran to Hagrid's hut, and from Hagrid's mouth, Harry got some news that surprised him even more.

Sirius Black is actually Harry's godfather!

This was certainly not something Hagrid should tell him. This half-blood giant had never been a tight-lipped guy, and things were going well for Buckbeak recently. Hagrid was happy in his heart, but he accidentally let it slip again. .

But the most terrible thing was that after coming out of Hagrid's hut, Hermione pulled Louis aside and asked very seriously:

"Sirius Black is an illegal Animagus, and he must have been the big black dog that day."
