Magical Studies at Hogwarts

"Crack!"

In the quiet tavern, a sudden sound woke up the stunned Sirius and others. They followed the sound and saw Aberforth picking up the broken glass on the ground.

He was a little distracted and even got cut by broken glass.

Seeing Aberforth hastily cleaning up the broken glass on the ground and leaving, Sirius also turned around and asked seriously: "Hermione, how do you know this?"

"Wait!" Ron shouted immediately, "Is Hermione telling the truth?"

Sirius was also stunned, his eyes swept back and forth over the three of them, and asked in surprise: "Wait, you don't know either?"

"I don't know." Harry and Ron shook their heads together. Hermione hadn't told them at all. But thinking about it carefully, there were signs. Harry's mind unconsciously thought of Dumbledore's...

The right hand, which was burnt black at first, is now as intact as ever.

At this time, Sirius said aloud: "I don't know how you know, but I have to say that your guess is right... Yes, Dumbledore's time is running out."

"How long does he have?" Hermione continued.

"I don't know, but it won't be more than a year." Sirius shook his head and said seriously, "Okay, that's it. I hope that after leaving this tavern, you will have this matter in your stomach.

Here, don’t tell anyone... Only a very few people know about this matter now, and it must not be leaked, especially not to the ears of those guys."

"Okay." The three of them nodded solemnly, and Harry also made a zipper movement for his mouth. Seeing this, Sirius put some snacks on his head and said to Ron: "Xu Qiao, please take care of me."

Come on both of us, okay?"

Xu Qiao nodded solemnly when he heard this, but the conversation aroused some satisfaction from Katie and Harry.

"You are big kids who know everything, Sirius." Katie said.

"Well, they are indeed grown children not yet." Sirius said, drank the butterbeer in the glass in one gulp, stood up, and tidied up his clothes.

"Wait, he's leaving, Sirius?" Katie asked in surprise.

"Yes." Sirius said with a smile.

"But, you don't have many questions to ask him..." Before Katie could finish her words, she was interrupted by Sirius.

"It must be about You-Know-Who and the Death Eaters. Do you think they should ask Ron less?" I said and hugged Katie. "As for the rest, you just said: I hope he can't be safe all the time."

Yes, Xu Qiao."

"He is too, Sirius." Katie said seriously. Seeing this, Sirius laughed again, hugged Harry and Ron again, and left, leaving only eight people standing there looking at each other.

We looked at each other for a long time, and Xu Qiao said without any hesitation: "Did I pay the bill?"

"It hasn't been paid yet!" As soon as he finished speaking, Ah Shifusi's voice came from the front of the bar again. Looking around, he saw my face was warm and I said angrily: "Have you finished your drink? Have a drink.

When you're done, hurry up and leave, you're going to close the door!"

There was very little butterbeer left in the cups for eight people, but no one wanted to stay any longer. They all wrapped themselves tightly again, pushed the door open and rushed out into the wind and snow.

After walking a short distance, Xu Qiao suddenly stopped walking when he thought of what Sirius said just now. When I stopped, Ron and Harry also stopped.

"What's the matter, Katie?" Harry asked shivering despite the wind and snow.

Katie ignored Xu Qiao, turned to look at Ron next to her and asked, "Xu Qiao, how did he know?"

"What?"

"Master Tonks!"

"Oh, you can see that it's very complicated. If you can focus on studying..." Ron said fiercely, his voice was low, but it was enough for Katie to hear clearly.

"But why did Sirius ask you to ask him about Fu Di..." Xu Qiao said angrily, but before I finished speaking, no one stopped me from reading out this person's name.

"He can name it, Katie."

Dumbledore appeared at the right moment, wearing a head of wet gray-brown hair.

"Ah, Dumbley, why is he out there?" Katie was beaten, and her anger had not subsided much, so she asked Xu Qiao first.

"He knows that you are an Aolo after all. It is unusual to perform patrol duties in Hogsmeade." Dumbledore said, "Yes, you should stop suffering from the cold outside and go to Eight Broomsticks." How about it?"

After saying that, he directly pulled Xu Qiao to the Eight Broomsticks.

Dumbledore led the eight people to an empty seat, ordered each of you a glass of butterbeer, and left before leaving. It didn't seem rude at all, but the eight people were very vague on the outside. Dumbledore was just in a good mood. .I haven’t been like that since I saw you during the summer vacation. I also know what is bothering you and has kept you anxious for so long.

"Okay, butterbeer, I can finally have a good drink that time." Xu Qiao picked up the cup and drank one-eighth of it in one breath, burping, with a happy smile on his face.

Katie took a sip, but she was thinking about the question that Dumbledore had just interrupted. I looked at Ron and asked, "Ron, why does he know so little about Death Eaters? Is he still dating this guy?" No contact?”

"Are you available now?" Ron replied after taking a sip of butterbeer.

"Now? Not later?" Katie's voice suddenly became softer, "Does he know that I killed Mundungus!"

Xu Qiao heard the sound and quickly gave Katie a hand.

"Katie, don't be so quiet..."

"Yeah, does he want everyone to know? Is he sure you tell him outside?" Ron also said fiercely, but his tone was less sinister.

He took another sip of butterbeer and then said: "Okay, when you get back, you will tell him what he wants to know. Now, stay warm."

Katie temporarily became quiet after hearing this, but it could be seen from my face that I was fierce inside. Without such a face next to me, Harry also had the desire to stay out there again. He drank two or eight sips. He drank the butterbeer in the glass, then stared at Ron and drank half of the glass. Before Xu Qiao drank the whole glass, he immediately said: "You guys go back."

"Okay." Ron nodded, and the eight of them returned to the snow before they finished paying.

The weather is good, but it will affect the nature of people's play. Many people with us have also chosen to go back to the cool castle of Hogwarts. Behind us is our acquaintance, who also plays Quidditch. The team's suitor Xu Qiao Bell, you are carrying a box in your hand and talking and laughing with your friends.

Just like that, we stepped on the frozen hard snow and faced the wind and snow that was still stopping, and walked hard towards the castle. But for a while, a high-pitched voice reached Katie and us through the wind and snow. outside the ears.

Following the sound, you saw Hermione and your friend. The two boys were arguing over the box in Hermione's hand.

Suddenly, Hermione's friend reached out to grab something outside Xu Qiao's hand. Hermione pulled back hard and the box fell to the ground.

In the last second, Hermione floated up, her limbs stretched out naturally, her eyes closed, her hair fluttering in the wind, like a fairy.

A few seconds later, a shrill scream suddenly sounded!
