With extraordinary comprehension, I built a floating city at Hogwarts.

At the intersection, Levin encountered Ravenclaw's chaser, Angelina, who was getting impatient.

"N

Levin was dumbfounded, and Hermione was also stunned.

Neither of them expected that Fred would be dating Angelina behind George's back.

Oblivious to all this, blockhead George was still laughing at the shopkeeper picking through the items.

Levin even suspected that by the time George discovered Fred's affair, they would probably already have a child old enough to run errands.

The twins were just a minor incident during the trip to Hogsmeade.

After the two had explored the village, Hermione was also a little tired.

So Levin took her to the Three Broomsticks bar to rest.

As soon as he entered the bar, Levin saw several familiar faces.

"Oh, it's Professor Flitwick, Professor McGonagall, and Hagrid. Good afternoon." Levin and Hermione stepped forward to greet them.

At this moment, Professor Flitwick, Professor McGonagall, and Hagrid were sitting at the bar, chatting with several other people.

Upon seeing Levin and Hermione, the two professors happily invited him to sit beside them, and Hagrid warmly embraced them.

"Oh. Good afternoon, Mr. Green."

Levin turned his head and saw it was the Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge.

The other person was sitting further inside, completely blocked by Hagrid's massive body, no wonder Levin didn't see him.

Good afternoon, Mr. Fudge.

Levin nodded politely.

The two were old acquaintances. Fudge had awarded him two prizes: the first was the Order of Merlin, First Class, and the second was an internal commendation from the Ministry of Magic in recognition of Levin's participation in the dragon-slaying operation.

"Give us two butterbeers and two sandwiches."

Levin calmly ordered from the tavern owner, Ms. Rosemerta, as if the people around him were ordinary people.

Hermione, on the other hand, was so nervous at the thought of drinking with professors and the Minister of Magic that she was speechless.

Ms. Rosemerta was a slender, beautiful young woman.

He quickly brought over their orders.

However, she did not leave, but sat at the bar and chatted with everyone.

“Did you know that the Dementors have searched my tavern twice?” Rosmerta’s voice was clearly tinged with anger. “Those guys have scared away all my customers… That’s not good for business, Minister.”

“Rosmerta, my dear, I’m just like you, I don’t like them either,” Fudge explained somewhat flusteredly. “But it’s a necessary precaution… In fact, they’re extremely annoyed with Dumbledore because he won’t let them into the castle grounds.”

“I also think they shouldn’t be allowed in,” Professor McGonagall said sharply. “How are we supposed to teach with these horrible things floating around everywhere?”

“The Dementors have attacked the students more than once,” Flitwick said angrily. “If it weren’t for Mr. Green’s help on both occasions, our students would have been in great harm. Connelly, you should thank my students for this.”

“Well… alright, Mr. Grimm has indeed made many contributions to the Ministry of Magic,” Fudge said dryly, knowing he was in the wrong, “but Black…”

He then shifted the topic to Sirius Black.

The group, disregarding Levin's presence, dropped a bombshell.

Because in their minds, Levin's abilities were enough to qualify him to know these things, and Hermione benefited from it as well.

The girl, having gotten a good deal, didn't act coy. Instead, she pretended not to exist, drinking butterbeer while listening to gossip.

“You know, I still can’t quite believe it,” Mrs. Rosemerta recalled. “Sirius Black was one of those who fell into bad ways… I mean, I remember when he was a kid at Hogwarts, if you had told me back then what he would have become…”

Then I would say I've had too much to drink.

“You know less than half the truth, Rosmerta,” Fudge said curtly. “Very few people know the worst things he ever did.”

"The worst?" Rosmerta's voice was full of curiosity. "You mean, worse than killing so many people?"

"Do you remember who he was closest to?" Fudge asked in return.

“Of course I remember,” Rosmerta chuckled. “Sirius Black and James Potter, a great pair, inseparable, weren’t they? They always made me laugh.”

Levin silently watched the drama unfold, but his gaze suddenly drifted towards a corner of the bar.

“You’d think Black and Potter were brothers!” Professor Flitwick interjected in agreement. “They were inseparable!”

They then talked about their intimacy and about James Potter's choice of Black as the Secret Keeper of the Faithful Charm.

Professor McGonagall sighed, "Who would have thought that Black, with such a close relationship, would ultimately betray Potter?"

In the end, even the usually composed McGee choked up a little.

Hermione was almost dumbfounded. She could already imagine what Harry would think after he found out all this.

Given his personality, he would most likely be furious and try to cause trouble for Blake.

Should I tell him about this?

While she was struggling with her decision, the group talked a lot more, mentioning how Black was captured and the story of Peter Pettigrew.

About an hour later, the professors and Fudge left the bar together.

Hermione was about to pull Levin away when she noticed Levin leading her to a corner of the pub and suddenly saying to thin air, "Come out, Harry, I know you're here."

Then she saw Harry Potter, wearing an invisibility cloak and his face flushed red, and Ron, huddled next to him, filled with righteous indignation.

They all heard what was just said.

Chapter 204 Triple Date

"Harry, how are you?"

Seeing Harry holding his breath, Hermione quickly asked with concern.

To be honest, thinking about everything she had just heard, she felt angry for Harry.

Betraying his best friend and causing Harry's family to be destroyed, Sirius Black was truly despicable.

Fudge and the other professors were also going too far; why did they keep such an important matter from Harry?

Perhaps influenced by Levin, Hermione also began to stop blindly trusting the professors and the authority of the Ministry of Magic.

After all, by Levin's side, she had witnessed countless times how the boy broke the established impressions and records of the wizarding world, and his self-created spells transcended many of the established rules of the magical world that had existed for thousands of years.

If even the common sense and rules in textbooks can be broken, what about those authorities?

After all, authority figures are also human, and living people are always more prone to problems than dead rules.

Faced with his companion's concern, Harry hesitated for a long time before finally saying, "Sirius... I'm going to kill that person!"

But Levin poured cold water on his enthusiasm.

“Harry, I understand your anger over the murder of your parents. But please calm down first. Don’t think about revenge right away. Even if Sirius really betrayed your parents, with your current strength, you would definitely be killed if you went to their door.”

Levin didn't tell the truth, after all, he was just making empty claims without any evidence.

Such speculation is far less convincing than the "truth" jointly certified by several professors and Minister of Magic Fudge.

Upon hearing this, Harry opened his mouth to Levin, but said nothing.

He knew perfectly well that Levin was right, but he just couldn't get over that hurdle.

Ron, however, was indignant on Harry's behalf:

“I’m sorry, Levin, I misunderstood you this morning. I didn’t even know you were the one who brought him to Hogsmeade.” He apologized first, then added somewhat resentfully, “But couldn’t you have helped Harry in this matter?”

"With your abilities, even the Basilisk is no match for you. Capturing Sirius shouldn't be too difficult, right?"

"At the very least, you should let Harry join your study group so that he can protect himself."

“Ron! How can you talk like that!” Before Levin could speak, Mr. Hermione was furious. “Levin has already said that the study group was established by the entire Ravenclaw community. How can he make the decision by himself? Don’t make things difficult for him in this matter.”

There was one more thing she didn't say: Even I didn't apply to join the study group.

Levin patted the girl's hand reassuringly and said to Ron, "There are some things I've mentioned to Hermione before, and I'll tell you about them now."

"In my personal opinion, there must be something fishy about Sirius betraying Harry's parents and escaping from prison to kill Harry—at least I don't think he's after Harry."

"I've already told Harry about self-defense abilities. Whether it's the Patronus Charm or other skills, Professor Lupin would be very happy to teach him."

At this point, Levin sighed:

"Since we're already on this topic, I might as well give you a little more hint:"

"Whether it's about Sirius or Lupin, it's the same. Since you're so interested in Harry's parents, why don't you learn more about what happened back then before making any judgments?"

At this point, Levin's tone became stern:

"Finally, Ron, I think you should understand some things. We are indeed friends, but I can't unconditionally solve all your problems. I think you should try to learn to solve some small troubles on your own."

With that, he turned around and left.

Seeing this, Hermione immediately chased after him, grabbed Levin's hand, and said pitifully.

“Sorry, Levin, Ron said some stupid things to you. He went too far and wasn’t like a friend at all.”

Levin waved his hand, "It's not your fault, why should you apologize?"

As he spoke, he remarked, "Perhaps this is the Gryffindor style of friendship. When they're on good terms with you, they're easily moved to risk their lives for you. But once they start to doubt you, they're also the quickest to turn their backs on you... because of their recklessness, this kind of turning back is even faster than Slytherin's."

Speaking of this, he recalled Harry and Ron getting points deducted in the first semester and their experience in the second semester when they were suspected of being the Slytherin heirs.

Upon hearing this, Hermione immediately replied firmly, "I would never doubt Levin."

“Of course, I firmly believe that.” Levin gently stroked the girl’s hair reassuringly, then said considerately, “If you’re worried about Harry, you can go back and see him first. I’m just angry with Ron, I won’t take it out on anyone else.”

"You're so kind."

Hermione was immediately moved by Levin's understanding and couldn't help but hug him and stand on tiptoe to kiss him on the cheek.

The next moment, she realized she had acted impulsively and hurriedly returned to the bar, her face flushed.

Seeing that Hermione had already left, he was all alone again.

Levin had no intention of going to find Ciri and Penelope.

He remembered that there was a girl waiting for him in Hogsmeade.

Levin immediately began searching in Hogsmeade and soon found Cho Chang at the Spinning Witch Sports Supplies Store.
