Chapter 681: Sirius and Snuffles

“I found you, here you are!” Sirius’s voice suddenly sounded behind them, “Good morning, Evan! Good morning, Harry!”

“Sirius!”

Evan looked back and saw Sirius standing there, staring at him and Harry with a smile.

“Ah, that’s what happened at the trial!” At that moment, they watched Barty Jr. being dragged away by the Dementors. “Poor Barty Crouch Jr., I think he must have been heartbroken at that time! He probably thought his father would let him go, but he didn’t, and his status had speeded up the trial of this case …”

“You were there, too?” asked Evan.

“Yeah, I was just behind this door, waiting for the trial!” said Sirius disdainfully, “Nothing of that happened. They probably thought I was too dangerous, so Crouch went on directly to announce the judgment. But that made no difference. At the time, no one could help me. “

“What was going on in the back, can we see it?” said Evan expectantly. “How did you get sent to Azkaban?”

“Well, when the four of them were dragged back to the detention room, we’d been taken together by the Dementors to the damn place.” Sirius simply said, seemingly unwilling to talk more, he came over and put his hands under Evan’s and Harry’s elbows, “Come, there’s nothing nice behind!”

The two of them slowly rose into the air, the dungeon dissolved; and in the blink of an eye there was only darkness.

Then, they felt as though they had done a slow-motion somersault, suddenly landing flat on their feet, and the surrounding light was dazzling.

Evan had returned to Dumbledore’s sunlit office, and the Pensieve was shimmering in the cabinet in front of him.

There was no one else in the office but the three of them. Dumbledore, Moody and Fudge had not yet returned.

“Sirius, why are you here?” Harry asked hurriedly.

“How could I be indifferent to such a big incident at Hogwarts? I’m here with Rufus Scrimgeour and Kingsley Shacklebolt. After hearing about your experience last night, Fudge thinks he needs a little protection! The two of them followed to the Forbidden Forest, and I came to see you.”

“Is there anything in the Forbidden Forest? Have you found Mr. Crouch?” Harry demanded.

“Nothing. Crouch disappeared without a trace. To me, Fudge didn’t quite believe what Dumbledore said. but those signs of struggle can’t be fake, and I’m sure what you’re saying is true. So, the actual situation is very bad, Hogwarts mixed with some very dangerous people.”

“Do you think…”

“Harry, this is not the time to discuss this. You must understand that under the current circumstances, you should not leave the castle at night. This is very dangerous!” Sirius interrupted him, saying sternly. “Whoever is hiding in the dark, it is clear that they wanted to stop Crouch from seeing Dumbledore, and you were probably feet away from them in the dark. You could have been killed.”

“But…”

“I want you to swear that, before the end of the Triwizard Tournament, you are not going to go walking with anyone outside the castle, or even leave Gryffindor Tower after class hours!”

When he heard him, Harry was a little angry. How could he stay in the bedroom for so long?

He also wanted to find out the man who attacked Crouch, and the plot hidden in all of that. And coming to think of it, Sirius himself had done so many ridiculous things at school, but now he was coming to tell them to behave and stay in the Common Room.

That was ridiculous, but before Harry said anything, he heard it.

“Given the current situation, I am coming to Hogwarts to protect you!”

“What, you’re coming to Hogwarts?!” Harry froze!

“Sirius, you should know …” said Evan in surprise.

“Don’t worry, I’m sneaking in secretly, and no one will know,” said Sirius indifferently, motioning to both of them to be at ease. “According to the schedule, after leaving Hogwarts, I will immediately leave for Albania to deal with the vampires. That’s what I said in the Department. Everyone thinks I’m gone, but in fact I’m staying at Hogwarts.”

“You’ll be spotted!” Evan warned him.

Barty Crouch Jr. didn’t want Sirius to cause the entire plan to fail.

He only needed to be there in the second task starting next week, so there was no need to sneak into Hogwarts.

“No, no one but you knows that I’m an Animagus, let alone my Animagus form. Even if it was seen, others would only think it is a stray dog. My stay at Hogwarts will help the rest of the operation, investigate that person and protect you at the same time. By the way, I need another name, and if you guys are talking about me, just call me Snuffles, okay? “

He seemed to be in high spirits. Sirius had always been this way when it came to taking risks.

It was a real headache, he just told Harry to be honest, but he did it the other way around.

Next, they’d been talking about it.

After another five minutes or so, a large group of people came in and they were arguing.

It was mainly Moody and Rufus Scrimgeour who were arguing, and they had different opinions about Crouch’s whereabouts after leaving.

Scrimgeour thought that Crouch might not have left the Forbidden Forest, but Moody insisted that he had left!

Unlike the quarreling Aurors, Fudge had a completely different attitude.

He seemed reluctant to connect Crouch’s disappearance with Voldemort. He seemed more willing to believe that Madame Maxime had attacked Crouch, especially that the incident had happened close to Beauxbatons carriage, and she was half-giantess…

In short, Fudge finally decided not to publicize the matter for the time being, and announced to the outside that Crouch was on vacation because of illness.

The Aurors would investigate the matter secretly, while Fudge replaced Crouch as the judge of the Triwizard Tournament.

Fudge left with a stiff face, and he had hope that Crouch would suddenly appear safe and sound.

Ideally, he would be crazy because of the long-term stress caused by work, rather than death or disappearance.

Evan saw Sirius wave at him and Harry and leave with Fudge.

In the eyes of others, he would be out to Albania, but in fact he would return directly to Hogwarts after a turn.
