A Certain Magical Hogwarts

Chapter 450 Hermione is forever a goddess!

As the first person to escape from Azkaban, Black gained considerable fame.

Currently, he is an absolute household name and a legendary figure in the British Isles, second only to Voldemort in terms of fame.

This is a very dramatic thing.

He was imprisoned in Azkaban for so many years without gaining much fame, but after his escape, he gradually became a symbolic figure among Death Eaters.

When people mention Death Eaters, the first thing that comes to mind is Voldemort, followed by Black.

Even the notorious Bella doesn't have much of a presence and needs to step back.

He had become the number two figure among the Death Eaters.

Industry insiders even respectfully call him: Little Bu!

Dark wizards also regard him as the successor to the Dark Lord's great cause!

They all eagerly anticipated that after Black's escape from prison, he would become the third Dark Lord, lead the heroes, and complete the unfinished work of the great mentor Voldemort!

If I had to describe this situation, it would be something like this: Ten years in prison, no one cares; one escape, and the world knows!

Everyone was incredibly interested in Blake's escape method, especially the dark wizards.

He could end up in jail any day now. If he knew how to escape Azkaban beforehand, he could break out of prison later.

Many black wizards even display black and white photos of Blake in their homes, enshrining them as memorial portraits.

Every time he went out to kill or commit arson, he would pray to the photo, asking the spirit of Black to protect him... and make sure he wasn't caught by the Aurors.

This is an incredibly powerful influence; it has even gone viral beyond its original niche.

Even wizards across the ocean in America are looking for Muggles to make a movie to commemorate this momentous event.

The movie is currently in pre-production, a British-American co-production, and will be released next September. It's called "The Shawshank Redemption"!

They're really good at riding the wave of popularity.

However, in their view, winning an award is not important; the key is that it's inspiring!

There are many theories about how Blake escaped.

There are two main theories, both related to William.

Or rather, it's related to his illegal arrest and imprisonment of the little black-robed man.

Rita wrote over a dozen reports, using flowery language to describe the unspeakable secrets of Blake and the Dementor traitor.

It seems that all these years, Black has done nothing but seduce Dementors in Azkaban.

She also subtly implied that Blake and the missing Dementor had a daughter!

Her series of reports undoubtedly caused a great sensation, with everyone expressing varying degrees of concern about the purity of the Dementor team.

Fudge, however, insisted that it was all a French conspiracy.

Yes, it's all France's fault!

The French Ministry of Magic helped Black escape from prison and also captured Dementors, intending to breed them.

All for the sake of ruining next year's Quidditch World Cup!

As a bystander who knows the truth, William certainly knows that both of these claims are nonsense.

But he still couldn't figure out how Blake had escaped from prison and how he had evaded the Dementors' pursuit.

Hermione, however, believes she has discovered the truth.

"Blake is definitely an Animagus, he can turn into a black dog, he is—Big Black!"

Hermione resolutely blocked the railway.

"That's impossible!" Anne retorted. "If Blake were an Animagus, everyone would know."

I checked the records... There are only eight Animagus individuals this century, including my brother, and Blake's name isn't on the list.

"What if he's an illegal Animagus?" Hermione analyzed calmly.

"Annie, think about it. Since Black was an undercover agent for Mysterio, he betrayed the Potters at a crucial moment."

If he had learned the Animagus, he would definitely have kept it a secret.

Am I right, William?

William nodded slightly; he knew Hermione was hinting at Rita.

Rita is an illegal Animagus who transforms into a beetle and searches for material everywhere.

"But..." Annie thought for a moment, then couldn't help but retort, "If Big Black really is Black, and he's a Death Eater, why didn't he hurt us?"

"That's because..." Hermione drawled.

He unintentionally encountered three young wizards in France, who were also students of Hogwarts.

He definitely wants to come with us to escape the Dementors and return safely to England.

"Think about it, Anne, do you remember that time at Biarritz Beach?"

A group of Dementors suddenly appeared and attacked us. They were the ones who had been following Black all along; Big Black was right next to us.

"But..." Annie was already somewhat convinced, but she still argued, "When Gabrielle and I were captured by the werewolves, Big Black was still thinking about rescuing us."

Would a Death Eater do such a thing?

"Yes, that's strange. Maybe he had a change of heart?" Hermione realized she couldn't explain it.

"But think about it again, when have you ever seen an ordinary dog ​​fight a werewolf?"

This precisely proves Dahei's abnormality.

"I think you're right, Hermione." William looked into Hermione's eyes and asked softly, "When did you realize something was wrong?"

Seeing that William agreed with her opinion, Hermione exclaimed with delight:

"A Christmas present! I didn't suspect anything before, but the fact that it was sent to us anonymously is a big clue."

"He gave you all flying brooms, but he gave me an invisibility cloak."

I've been wondering why our gifts are different?

Why did he give a broom and an invisibility cloak, and not some other gift?

William understood as quickly as lightning.

He replied, "That's because Annie's broom broke, and I happen to like playing Quidditch."

Since you don't like Quidditch, he didn't send you a broom.

As for why it's an invisibility cloak...

I taught you the Disillusionment Charm during the summer vacation, but you didn't learn it.

"It's not that I didn't learn it, it's just... well, it's easy for people to find out." Hermione blushed and gave William a light, reproachful glare.

During the summer vacation, William taught Hermione the Disillusionment Charm in order to escape the pursuit of the French Aurors.

Later, when the Dementors attacked, William taught her the Patronus Charm.

Hermione only learned the Patronus Charm, but her attempt at casting the Disillusionment Charm failed miserably; even Anne could see her.

"When I demonstrated the Disillusionment Charm, besides the three of us, only Big Black was present," Hermione said softly.

"That's probably why he gave me the invisibility cloak."

Hermione continued her analysis: "If he had only given us three gifts, I wouldn't have realized he was Black."

But he also gave Harry a Firebolt, so it could only be... Black.

William nodded. Hermione had discovered Big Black's identity from just a few details.

I have to say, Hermione is forever amazing!

If Big Black is Blake, this can explain many puzzling things.

such as:

Why did Big Black run away instead of staying in Luwei's valley?

He was probably afraid that William and Hermione would notice something was wrong.

Why did he hide with Mopsy, who loves dogs?

Because across the street is Honeydukes, and there's a secret passage in the cellar leading to Hogwarts.

William couldn't help but clap and laughed, "Hermione, I told you...you're the smartest witch I've ever met, haven't you?"

"I already said that! You said it in Paris!" Hermione stuck out her tongue playfully.

"That's nothing, it's easy to figure out," Hermione exclaimed cheerfully, clearly pleased with herself.

William didn't discover the truth, but she figured it out much faster! This gave her a great sense of accomplishment!

"It seems we need to remind Professor Dumbledore."

William put away his fishing rod and poured the trout from the bucket back into the lake.
