Study Days at Hogwarts

"I know you want to catch Peter and bring it to me, but it's almost in vain. Peter is very cautious and smarter than you. You can't catch it. If you have a chance, find a way to help me get into Gryffindor. The password for the common room and I will come into the school myself and kill him.”

In the dark tunnel, Sirius Black gently stroked Crookshanks' head with his rough hands, telling him what he needed and what he wanted to do. He knew that the cat was very smart, but he wanted to rely on it to catch Peter's mouse, almost It's impossible, and Sirius Black hopes to kill Peter himself to avenge James.

"Meow!"

Crookshanks gave a slight cry, as if to indicate that he would keep an eye out for Black.

"By the way, there's one more thing I hope you can help me with."

Black took out a piece of wrinkled parchment from his pocket and handed it to Crookshanks: "Harry's broomstick is broken. I plan to give him a new broomstick for Christmas, but I can't walk into Quidditch." I need you to give this letter to the person in the post office in Hogsmeade to order an owl in Harry's name. As for the Galleons, I will ask him to go to Gringotts No. 711 No., go to my treasury to withdraw money, or replenish it for him afterwards."

In fact, Black didn't know whether this would be successful, but it seemed that he had no better choice. If he turned into a dog and entered the post office with a piece of paper in his mouth, it would be very suspicious no matter how he looked at it. If he was suspected by the post office, he might There will be big trouble.

The smart Crookshanks is obviously more suitable for the job than he is.

Crookshanks nodded and agreed to give Blake a run.

One person and one cat walked along the tunnel to the Shrieking House. Sirius Black asked Crookshanks to get out of the gap in the Shrieking House with a note in his mouth.

As a result, Hogsmeade welcomed a cat named Crookshanks. Although it had never been to Hogsmeade, this did not prevent Crookshanks from finding the post office in Hogsmeade.

Behind the counter of the post office, the middle-aged wizard who was reading the Daily Prophet put down the newspaper. He was a little surprised why a cat came here, and there was a note in the cat's mouth.

"A cat that comes to the post office to mail a letter?"

The middle-aged wizard saw the cat put the note on the counter, looked at the cat in front of him curiously, and reached out to touch Crookshanks' head, feeling very curious about this matter. He pointed to the note on the counter and asked tentatively: Are you going to send this thing?

The cat shook his head.

"Is this for me?" the man asked again.

This time Crookshanks nodded.

"Is it really for me?"

The middle-aged wizard took the note and opened it and found that the note was really for him.

Moreover, the sender of the letter is actually the famous savior Harry Potter, which is amazing to think about.

The letter was very concise. It probably meant that Harry Potter planned to buy an owl, but for some reason, he could not find a suitable owl to help deliver the letter, so he could only ask the cat to help deliver the note. As for the galleons for purchasing the owl, , he could go to Gringotts to get it himself, or he could refill it after receiving the owl, as long as he told the cat the price of the owl.

"What a smart little guy. He actually helps his master buy things." The wizard stretched out his hand and scratched the cat's chin and murmured: "But he actually came to the post office to buy an owl. It's really..."

The middle-aged wizard did not refuse the business in the end. Although it did seem magical, he didn't think anyone would be so bored as to send a smart cat to play with him.

The distance between Hogwarts School and Hogsmeade is not close, at least it takes a while to walk there.

What's more, he still has legitimate evidence.

"Smart little guy, where do you think you planted that owl?" The middle-aged wizard stuffed the note into his pocket, picked up Crookshanks, and walked towards the owls resting in the shop.

Crookshanks walked around and finally picked out a small owl in the store. It was the smallest owl in the post office.

Watching the cat and the owl leave, the middle-aged wizard murmured: "That cat must have the blood of a cat. Forget it, it would be nice to have an owner for that noisy little guy."

He has no fear of the other party defaulting on his debt. Before the other party repays the Galleons, the right to own the owl still belongs to him.

If the other party didn't pay, it could fly back on its own at any time, and he didn't think Harry Potter would make fun of his credibility. There was no need for it, after all, it was Harry Potter.

Crookshanks took the little owl back to the Shrieking Shack. When it got in through the gap, the owl was still watching outside. Finally, at Crookshanks' urging, he also got through the gap. Enter the house.

Hearing the noise, the black dog lying in the shadow stood up and slowly came to Crookshanks. He looked at the little owl and regained its human form.

"You succeeded, thank you, Crookshanks." Sirius Black picked up Crookshanks, helped him smooth his hair, then took out a note and handed it to the owl.

In fact, Black did not send a letter to the Quidditch boutique to buy Firebolts, but sent a letter to Kreacher, the house elf in his hometown.

Although Black doesn't like that guy very much, even he has to admit that a house elf will not betray his master and will carry out his master's orders unconditionally. Sirius Black, as the last member of the Black family, naturally becomes Kreacher's Owner.

Sirius Black's younger brother disappeared while he was in prison, and his father Orion also died of illness that year.

At the time, Black did not return for the funeral.

Later, while he was in prison, Narcissa Black, oh, Narcissa Malfoy, informed him of the death of his mother, Walburga.

He, Sirius Black, who was expelled from the Black family, ended up inheriting the Black family's wealth. It's a huge irony to think about it.

Black could even guess what Kreacher's expression would be after receiving this note.

In fact, Black is right. After receiving the letter, Kreacher's expression was indeed very wonderful, as if a piece of shit was stuffed in his mouth, but he had no choice because Sirius is the last heir of the Black family. , Kreacher had no choice.

If you want to take the Black family's gold coins from the Gringotts vault, no one except the actual owner of the vault can do it.

However, the house elf's loyalty to his master was unquestionable, and Kreacher also brought Black's signature and message, causing the goblins of Gringotts to open the Black family's treasury for it and take away enough gold coins to pay for the Firebolt. .

Well, and the gold coins to repay that owl.

As for the Ministry of Magic's wanted order for Black, the goblins didn't care at all, not to mention they couldn't make the house elves betray their masters.

As a result, the Quidditch boutique welcomed a house elf, and soon received a confidential order. They needed to send a Christmas gift to the famous Harry Potter on Christmas Eve. However, no one knew who specifically ordered this gift for Harry.

No one would have thought that the infamous Sirius Black would give Harry Potter such an expensive Christmas gift.
