Hogwarts Homecoming

For Harry, there was nothing worse than Professor Blaine having arrived at Grimmauld Place but not even wanting to meet him.

It was clear that his freedom for the rest of his life was tied to him, but he acted like he didn't take it seriously at all.

This also directly led to a period of time before the trial began.

No matter how much Hermione persuaded him to tell Professor Blaine about his strange dream, he was unwilling to do so.

And Sirius.

Harry did consider talking to his godfather.

But since that collective meeting of the Order of the Phoenix, Sirius has become very busy.

He was often away from home for several days in a row. When he came back in a hurry, he just told him to stay in the house and not to worry too much about the trial.

This made Harry have no desire to share some little secrets with him.

The lack of information made him increasingly worried about whether he would really be sentenced to life in Azkaban.

But he didn't want to show it in front of Hermione and Ron. He didn't even want to be around them.

I don't know what was exchanged between Ginny and Hermione.

Overall, Hermione was extremely concerned about his new dreams.

She was always trying to find out more from him in a roundabout way, but Harry, who took the trouble to do so, could only deceive her that the dream was over.

But the fact is that every night, those long corridors and tight doors still torture him, making his scars sting.

On the eve of Judgment Day, several children who were still receiving magical education at Hogwarts gathered in Harry and Ron's dormitory.

The house was much sloppier than when they first moved in. His and Ron's large suitcases were open on the floor, with bits and pieces scattered everywhere.

Under the wall near the window were stacks of Muggle newspapers that they had searched through over the past few days.

Facts have proved that Professor Blaine's contempt for Hermione's trick to prove his innocence when they first moved in was not without reason.

Those newspapers did nothing except help Harry better understand the Muggle world that he was gradually unfamiliar with.

The window was open, and Hedwig was hovering low in the moonlit night.

Harry's face was blank as he watched Hedwig spread her wings and fly. He could not imagine that last month he was fighting in the Triwizard Tournament with his classmates at Hogwarts, and after tomorrow, he might be Hanging out with dementors.

"Relax, Harry—"

Under the dim light, Hermione was trying to cheer Harry up.

"This matter will be over tomorrow, and then we can celebrate your birthday."

Harry had completely forgotten about his birthday.

"I'm not sure if the Dementors are okay with you throwing me a birthday party in Azkaban."

Harry said expressionlessly. The low pressure around him made the others completely confused as to how to comfort him.

After all, the Ministry of Magic was prosecuting Harry for murder, which would be a heavy mountain to bear on anyone.

"Don't worry, Harry--"

Fred bared his teeth.

"If Professor Blaine really loses to the Minister of Magic in terms of quarreling, we will join forces with the students in the physical education class to go to Azkaban to rob the prison."

"Ah, good idea, bro."

George raised his voice,

"If the mysterious man can do this, why can't we? The Ministry of Magic can't do this anyway, right?"

The corner of Ron's mouth twitched, but Hermione's timely glare made him suppress his smile.

The evening ended with an awkward joke between Fred and George.

Harry had barely slept the first half of the night.

Firstly, the terrible result of losing the defense has been tormenting him. Secondly, he does not want to continue to suffer the strange dream on the eve of the trial. Thirdly, it is obvious that the trial is about to take place, and it is not even possible for Sirius and others to come back. It made him extremely angry.

Various thoughts were intertwined in his mind, making him unable to sleep.

Guru

As if sinking into a dark abyss, the overwhelming feeling of suffocation invades me.

It was that dim corridor again, and the black door at the top of the corridor caught Harry's eyes like a whirlpool that swallowed everything.

The unreasonable desire that emerged from the bottom of his heart was so strong that he had never had such an experience before, so eager to get something, but he had no idea what it was?

Harry

A call sounded in my ears, and the voice seemed to be heard through several layers of water curtains, as if it was a world away.

The voice sounded very familiar and urgent, but Harry wanted to ignore it.

The desire to get what was behind the door occupied his mind.

Harry

The sound became even stronger, shaking the corridor in front of him into a double image.

"Harry, you have to wake up!"

The sound broke through some kind of obstruction and suddenly became clear, and the world in the field of vision seemed to have experienced a big earthquake, and everything was collapsing.

Hoo. Hoo. Hoo!

As if someone had been fished out of the water, Harry sat on the bed and gasped, his eyes still unable to adapt to the light in front of him.

"What, are you having a nightmare?"

The voice was a little surprised, but then continued,

"There's no time, Harry, you have to get up as soon as possible!"

"Am I going to be late?"

Harry didn't ask why Sirius, whom he hadn't seen for a few days, suddenly appeared here. His thoughts returned to clarity in an instant, and his scalp felt numb.

"That's not a big deal, but it's a bit of an emergency."

Before Harry could ask what happened, Sirius turned towards Ron, who was covering his head with a quilt.

"And you, Ron, get up quickly!"

Sirius cruelly took off Ron's quilt and shouted loudly.

"Why Sirius-"

Ron sat up with a confused look on his face.

"Do I need to see Harry off too?"

"I'm afraid it's a little more complicated than that, Ron."

Sirius looked at Ron with a stern expression. He didn't even give Harry and Ron a chance to change clothes, and directly drove the two people in dressing gowns out of the bedroom.

"Go to the kitchen first, there are some things you need to confirm!"

Sirius said in response to Harry's question.

When they went down to the second floor, they happened to see Tonks and Hermione, who was also sleepy-eyed, walking out of the room.

Like Sirius, Tonks looked solemn.

Ron yawned,

"Do we need to go to the Ministry of Magic together?"

Seeing that Ron was confused about the situation, Sirius twitched the corner of his mouth and said,

"Yes, you need to go to the Ministry of Magic with Harry."

"Then you should at least say hello in advance."

Ron yawned profusely.

Hermione didn't show her usual agility. She held a strand of hair in the corner of her mouth and looked at her in a daze, a bit naturally dazed.

"I need to wash my hair--"

Hermione said dazedly,

"Otherwise I won't be able to meet people."

"We'll talk about this later, Hermione."

A few black lines appeared on Sirius' forehead.

So the three of them stumbled and followed Sirius downstairs and into the underground kitchen.

The moment they saw the person in the kitchen clearly, the three dizzy people suddenly regained consciousness.

In addition to Sirius and Remus, Ron's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, were also here.

In addition, Amelia, Remus, Alastor and Kingsley filled the kitchen with most of the members of the Order of the Phoenix.

Harry would not think that these people were escorting him to the Ministry of Magic, because he had never seen Mr. and Mrs. Weasley with such worried expressions!

"What happened, Mrs. Weasley."

Every syllable that came out of Harry's mouth vibrated.

"Just half an hour ago--"

Sirius said in a heavy and solemn tone. He was not only looking at Harry, but also at Hermione and Ron.

"The Ministry of Magic has sent three notification letters, specifying the specific time of tomorrow's interrogation."

Harry's head was stiff for a while before he came back to his senses.

"Three seals?"

"Ron and Hermione."

Remus looked solemnly at Hermione and Ron, whose expressions were gradually astonished.

"That's right. Three letters. The Ministry of Magic requires that you two be interrogated together. What do you think about this?" (End of Chapter)
