The Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 344 Resurrection Chapter Holiday

Chapter 344 Easter Holiday

Everything seemed to have changed, yet nothing seemed to have changed. Sirius Black was "caught", but the Dementors did not leave Hogsmeade, and the Ministry of Magic's wanted warrant was not revoked.

Sirius is still a fugitive from Azkaban, but he no longer has to flee. Every day he either eats and sleeps in the Twilight Cottage, or sleeps and eats, occasionally staring at the Marauder's Map. This is his "prisoner" life.

The ones guarding him are no longer Dementors, but a cat and a dog who are traitors. If you see two dogs and a cat chasing and playing at the edge of the Forbidden Forest, please don't be surprised, because that is Sirius's daily exercise time.

Unlike Sirius who enjoyed the treatment of a patient, Dumbledore and Lupin were both extremely busy.

Dumbledore ran back and forth between the school and outside the school. The headmaster's chair in the auditorium was often empty. It was not an easy task to collect evidence of events that happened twelve years ago.

The files of the Ministry of Magic are not credible at all. Many people were arrested back then without even a trial and were thrown directly into Azkaban, including Sirius.

The contents recorded in the archives were of no reference value, so Dumbledore could only contact the people who had participated in the capture of Sirius to learn about the situation at the scene, so as to restore the truth of the matter and find out who had blew up half the street.

Professor Lupin, who stayed in the school, was also very busy. Not only did he have to teach and prepare lessons, but he also had to search every corner of the castle in his spare time to prevent Peter Pedrillo from taking advantage of any loopholes.

Fortunately, there has been no full moon recently, so Professor Lupin does not need to worry about his furry little problems. He can bathe in the moonlight and take a walk in the castle under the moonlight without any worries.

Ada and the twins should have been free from worries. The three of them had been abandoned by Dumbledore, but they did not even have a single day of leisure, and they were even busier than before.

Gryffindor was lucky enough to make it to the Quidditch final, which would be held on the first Saturday after the Easter holidays, which was only a month away.

Determined to win the Quidditch Cup, Wood began his devilish training again. He was either training with his players or holding meetings with them to discuss new tactics.

All the fragmented time was utilized by Wood. Fred and George now had difficulty even telling jokes, so how could they have the energy to play the cat and mouse game?

Ada was even more miserable. Before she had the chance to complain about why the twins didn't kneel down to the headmaster, she was dragged to Professor McGonagall's office.

It's obvious that Dumbledore must have reported her to make her lose time and energy to wander around in school. Having just escaped from Snape's sea of ​​suffering, Ada fell into the palm of Professor McGonagall's hand.

Professor McGonagall didn't even bother to think about the "charge" and directly applied the charge that Snape had previously brought against Ada, which was failing to fulfill her duties as a prefect and failing to catch the fugitive Black.

Previously, Ada said that Sirius could not get out of her Five Finger Mountain, but now she was slapped in the face and it turned out that she was the monkey who could not get out of the Five Finger Mountain.

In the office on the second floor of the castle, a pile of academic papers and advanced theories of transfiguration were thrown in front of Ada.

It would have been easy for Ada to just read the text or understand its content, but Professor McGonagall required her to recite the entire text with emotion.

The key point is to recite the whole text! And you have to recite it with emotion. They are all academic papers and various rules. How can you have emotion with them? I feel very sad, especially sad...

As the saying goes, there is always someone who can conquer you. Dumbledore could pin Ada to the ground and hammer her, but he just couldn't cure or control her. Professor McGonagall could only fight Ada on equal terms, but she could control Ada so well that she had no temper at all.

The Easter holiday came in a flash, but this holiday did not allow Ada to catch her breath. Looking at the piles of homework, Ada thought for a moment that she had to take the college entrance examination again.

There was also a lot of complaints in the common room. "This can be called a holiday, this can be called a festival!" Lee Jordan kept muttering this, and others echoed him.

Not to mention Lee Jordan, after completing all her homework, Ada felt that her right hand no longer belonged to her, and her right hand might have its own unique ideas.

The long-term high pressure made the students facing the wizard level examination almost collapse, and they wished their parents could give them an extra brain and an extra pair of hands.

Brain-awakening potions and intelligence-enhancing drugs have quietly become popular among students. In other words, there is no Life No. 1 in the magical world. If there were, everyone would probably have one.

More and more students were memorizing in the common room, and everyone was in a "don't leave, fight until dawn" attitude. However, the champion of staying up late to study did not belong to any of the fifth, sixth, or seventh grade students, but to Miss Hermione Granger from the third grade. Hermione was always the first person to appear in the library to study, and the last person to leave the common room and go back to the dormitory. Just in terms of hard work, even Ada was inferior to Hermione. It was really unconvincing.

Every time she saw Hermione studying hard, Ada would sigh, "It's great to be young," and occasionally she would say sourly, "I was like this when I was young."

During this time, even with the help of the Marauder's Map, Lupin and Sirius were unable to catch Peter.

Don't forget, Peter was also the creator of the Marauder's Map, and although he didn't know the map was now back in Lupin's hands, Peter must have been on guard. And Hogwarts is big, there are plenty of places to hide a mouse.

The goddess of luck always stands on Peter's side. There were several times when Lupin had discovered Peter, but when the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor arrived, Peter had already left.

The elusive Peter Pettigrew is always one step ahead of Lupin.

I don’t know whether to say that Peter is lucky, or that Lupin and Sirius are unlucky. Every time they are just a little bit short, which is the most unacceptable thing.

The day before Easter, perhaps because they were worried that Hermione would die from overwork, Harry and Ron decided to take Hermione to the playground to relax, and by the way, they gave the prepared materials to Hagrid so that Hagrid could deal with the subsequent appeal.

In the cabin next to the Forbidden Forest, Hagrid, Harry, and Ron were discussing Buckbeak's appeal, while Hermione was looking for a milk can in the cupboard to help make tea.

While looking for a milk can, Hermione accidentally knocked over another can. A mouse slid out of the overturned can with a squeak, and its four short legs desperately kicked and tried to climb back.

This time, the goddess of luck did not disappoint, and she finally chose the right side. The mouse that slipped out of the jar was Peter. Peter was thinner than before, and lost a lot of hair, revealing a large bald spot.

Justice is late but it comes. After faking his death and pulling off a lot of tricks, Peter was still discovered. Ron, who knew nothing, was very happy and held Peter in his hands like a treasure.

The mouse that Peter turned into was twisting wildly in Ron's hands, trying desperately to break free from Ron's hands.

"Don't be afraid, Scabbers! There's no cat! Nothing here can hurt you." Ron gently comforted Peter. To be honest, Ron had never been so gentle to Hermione.

The three of them walked along the sloping lawn towards the castle. The sun was slowly setting, and the sky turned into a clear gray-purple, but there was still a ruby-like light in the west.

The closer they got to the castle, the more restless Peter became. He screamed crazily, twisted his body, and tried to bite Ron's hand. And silly Ron was still comforting the restless Peter.

Suddenly, a big ginger cat jumped out, its two big yellow eyes flashing a strange fluorescence in the dark.

"Crookshanks!" sighed Hermione. "Stop messing around. Go away, Crookshanks! Go away!"

But the cat was getting closer and closer, and behind Crookshanks was the off-white Garlon.

Peter struggled desperately, and it bit Ron hard. Ron, in pain, loosened his hand just a little, and Peter immediately slipped through his fingers, fell to the ground, and ran away quickly.

Crookshanks and Garlon jumped up and chased after him, the cat and the dog working together to drive Peter towards the Whomping Willow.

Before Ron could enjoy the joy of his beloved pet coming back to life, his own pet was in danger again. Anxious Ron immediately followed the pet and disappeared into the night.

Hermione and Harry looked at each other and ran after him.

In the darkness, Harry seemed to see the big black dog he had seen before, the black dog called "Ominous" in the prophecy class.
