Hogwarts: I can load entries infinitely!

"Hiss—Sirius?"

Devereaux stared at the title in the magazine, frowning slightly, and his eyes suddenly became sharp.

This name is not something that can be heard casually, especially for him who is familiar with the entire story.

The time doesn't match up.

According to the original work, Sirius Black should have escaped from prison when Harry was in his third year. But now, the students at Hogwarts are still excited about the upcoming Christmas vacation, and it is obviously still some distance from that time.

He looked down at the contents of the magazine again.

To be honest, Mr. Lovegood's intelligence has always been bizarre and dramatic. As for its credibility... Devereaux had a question mark in his mind.

But this report made him unable to ignore it easily.

Sirius Black.

A name, a heavy story.

He knew, however, that Sirius's conditions for escaping from prison had always been quite sufficient.

The defenses of Azkaban are impregnable to ordinary wizards, but for Sirius, who can transform into an animal and is naturally rebellious, it is only a matter of time.

Theoretically, he could escape from prison at any time.

Devereux tapped the cover of the magazine with his fingertips, countless thoughts running through his mind.

"Devereux, what are you thinking about?"

Luna noticed his silence and tilted her head to ask.

"Oh, nothing."

Devereux recovered his thoughts and raised his head.

"I just think the news is a bit strange."

He handed the magazine back to Luna and continued.

"If Sirius really escaped from prison, why didn't the Daily Prophet report it overwhelmingly? This is a big deal."

Luna took the magazine and said softly.

"Perhaps the Daily Prophet doesn't think this matter is that important?"

Devereaux couldn't help but laugh.

"That's not like the Daily Prophet. They never miss an opportunity to cause panic."

He paused, but he was analyzing quickly in his mind:

The key to Sirius's escape was not time, but motivation.

In the original work, he decided to risk his escape from Azkaban because he saw Wormtail's photo in the newspaper.

If he has escaped from prison now, there must be a similar trigger point behind it.

"Did he find another important clue? Or is there another hidden reason behind this prison break?"

Devereux muttered to himself, possibilities running through his mind.

But in any case, there is still too little information at the moment.

He needs more information to figure out the truth behind this matter.

"Luna," he turned to look at the girl next to him, "Do you have any other relevant reports in this magazine?"

Luna flipped through the magazine and shook her head.

"No, there's only this article. But you can ask my dad, he might know more."

"Good idea."

Devereaux nodded, a flash of thought in his eyes.

"Looks like I need to pay a visit to Mr. Lovegood."

Of course, Devereux wasn't too worried about Sirius possibly attacking Hogwarts.

After all, according to the description in the original book, Sirius is a good person, and his goal has always been Wormtail.

And now that Wormtail is missing, Sirius has no reason to attack the teachers and students of Hogwarts.

While he was thinking this, he lowered his head and thought until Luna's voice sounded again.

"Devereaux, are you going to attend that international exchange conference this week?"

Devereux looked away from the magazine in Luna's hand and nodded slightly.

"That's right, Saturday's trip will take place in Diagon Alley. I'll probably stay at the Leaky Cauldron for two days, and then go to St. Mungo's for a physical on Monday."

After hearing this, Luna's expression changed slightly, as if she remembered something, and she whispered.

"My dad mentioned that Tom, the owner of the Leaky Cauldron, has been acting weird lately. He even wrote about it in the latest issue of The Quibbler."

Devereaux couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

"Luna, are you overthinking it? Tom is very familiar with me and Professor Snape. He is the old owner of the Leaky Cauldron, so there is no problem at all. Don't worry, it's absolutely safe."

Luna frowned, as if she still had something to say, but in the end she just lowered her head and hugged the book in her arms tightly.

"Okay, don't think too much."

Devereaux waved his hands with a relaxed smile on his face.

"Go to class quickly, don't be late. I still have to go back to the laboratory. I have a bunch of experiments waiting to be processed."

After saying that, he turned around, waved his hand, and walked towards the other end of the corridor.

Behind her, Luna looked like she wanted to say something else.

——

Lunch time, the Great Hall of Hogwarts.

The long table was covered with all kinds of delicacies, and the aroma of pumpkin pie and hot cream filled the air.

The students gathered together in twos and threes, chatting and sharing their interesting stories.

"So, what are you going to do for Halloween?"

Ron asked vaguely as he stuffed pumpkin pie into his mouth.

His eyes wandered between Harry and Hermione, and finally landed on Devereaux, who was cutting a steak.

Hermione rolled her eyes and put down her fork.

"What else can we do? Didn't the professor say there will be a dinner? We first-year students should just participate in school activities honestly and don't think about making any trouble."

Ron shrugged, obviously not satisfied with Hermione's answer.

He turned to look at Harry.

"Harry? What do you think?"

Harry was staring at his plate in a daze. When he heard Ron calling him, he raised his head suddenly, his eyes a little confused.

"Ah? What? Sorry, Ron, what did you say just now?"

Ron frowned, looking a little impatient.

"Harry, what's wrong with you? Since you were attacked by the remaining decaying curse near the Black Lake last time, you have been absent-minded all day long."

Obviously, Deveraux and Harry tacitly chose to conceal the specific circumstances of Harry's "blackening" last time from Ron.

After all, after that incident, Harry showed enough remorse and correction attitude, temporarily calming Deveraux's worries.

Of course, all this is not entirely Harry's self-awakening, and Deveraux knows it well.

Behind that remorse and correction, there is actually a little "little trick" he learned from the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor - the effect of desire magic.

That day, when Deveraux checked Harry's memory, he quietly implanted a strong emotion while Harry was relaxed - the desire to cherish his friends.

This magic does not force people to change their will, but silently waters a certain tendency like spring rain, making the caster think from the bottom of his heart that certain behaviors or emotions are the most important.

So, Harry's attitude quickly changed from "a little resistance" to "actively admitting mistakes", and even showed great sincerity and patience when facing Ron and Hermione.

Deveraux did not feel too guilty about this. He looked at Harry's performance now, and he was even a little relieved in his heart.

There was no way, there were indeed some restless factors in this school, and in order to prevent Harry from going astray, Deveraux could only resort to this last resort.

Hermione interrupted at this time, with a little dissatisfaction in her tone.

"Dumb? Do you mean that you always get the first place in every class test?"

Harry waved his hands repeatedly when he heard this, with an awkward smile on his face.

"No, no, no, it's just luck! In fact, I always think that Hermione, you should be the first. As for Halloween, I think it might be to attend the dinner..."

Ron on the side seemed a little depressed.

He was already frustrated by Harry's recent rapid progress in grades, and now Hermione's mention made him even more depressed.

He curled his lips and changed the subject.

"I heard from George that he and Fred planned to sneak to Hogsmeade and find someone to experiment with their truant product."

Deveraux couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this.

He glanced at the three people and said lightly: "I'm going to collect rent on Halloween."

"Collecting rent?" The three people asked almost in unison, with confused expressions on their faces.

Ron blinked, looking puzzled: "Are there any tenants in Hogwarts?"

Deveraux smiled slightly.

"Of course, not only those who live in the castle are called tenants. Those who run in the woods and swim in the water are also tenants."

(Sorry, everyone. I have been pushing the timeline in the future recently, and I have sacrificed a lot of words and not served the fun points. I will start later. This is what I am best at＜(￣︶￣)＞)
