Chapter 136

The next morning, the Hogwarts Express left the station in thick smoke. Maka stood on the platform and waved goodbye to Harry and them. He looked a little absent-minded, and Willie was standing next to him - which made Hermione feel uncomfortable for no reason.

When Marca's figure was too small to see anymore, Harry and they retracted into the carriage.

"That Willy didn't show up all semester, but she showed up again when Marca decided to stay in school!" Hermione said solemnly. "There must be a problem!"

"What's wrong with that!" said Ron without paying any attention.

Hermione pursed her lips and looked back at Harry - now Harry was staring at Hogwarts, which was hidden from view by a mountain.

It will take two months to see Hogwarts again!

"Oh, cheer up, Harry!" Hermione comforted her friend.

"I'm fine," said Harry quickly. "I'm just thinking about vacation."

"Yes, I've been thinking," said Ron. "Harry, you must come and live with us... I'll talk to my parents, and then I'll call you. Now I know how to call you!"

"It's the phone, Ron," Hermione said. "Seriously, you should take Muggle research next year..."

Ron ignored her, and he went on.

"... there will be a Quidditch World Cup this summer! How about, Harry? Come to my house and let's go to the game together! Dad can always get tickets from his unit."

The suggestion made Harry happy.

"Yes, I bet the Dursleys would be happy to let me go... Especially after what I did to Aunt Maggie..."

"Harry," said Hermione, suddenly looking back, "look, what's that outside the window?"

Harry turned and looked out, but saw a huge shadow rushing in through the open window and falling firmly on the empty seat next to Harry.

That's MafA! Marca's big owl!

Hedwig on one side shrunk and was pushed aside by MafA. Crook mountain sat up in his seat, his big yellow eyes watching it warily.

MafA stood on one leg on the seat, his other claw loosened, and a gray little owl rolled down to the seat cushion.

Then he casually placed the envelope in his mouth on Harry's leg, and immediately spread his wings out of the window. The whole process was very fast, which made the three people in the car a little unresponsive.

At this time, crook mountain looked at the little owl again. It seemed a little interested. Ron noticed this sensitively and grabbed the little owl.

Harry picked up the letter, which was addressed to him!

He tore open the letter and shouted, "it's from Sirius!"

"What?" said Ron and Hermione suspiciously. "Is there anything else he hasn't said? Read --"

Dear Harry

I hope this letter will be received before you arrive at your aunt and uncle's house. I don't know if they are used to sending letters by owls.

In fact, when you receive this letter, it means that I have left Hogwarts - I won't tell you where to hide in case it is misdelivered to others. I've always been a little skeptical about the reliability of owls, but Maka looks reassuring.

I believe the Dementors are still looking for me, but they have no hope of finding me again. I plan to let some Muggles see me soon, away from Hogwarts, so that the security measures of the castle can be revoked.

During our short meeting, there was one thing I never had a chance to tell you, that is, it was me who sent fire crossbows and arrows to you.

……

"Ha!" said Hermione triumphantly. "Look! I told you he gave it!"

"Yes, but he didn't do anything on it, did he?" said Ron. "Ouch!"

The little owl was now crowing happily in his hand. It had pecked on one of his fingers, as if it thought it was a way to show kindness.

——————

……

Maka asked his MafA to help me go to the post office to order this Owl - I used your name, but told them to go to my own vault at 711 gulingge to get the money.

Please think of it as a thirteenth birthday gift from your Godfather.

I think I surprised you. It was the night you left your uncle's house last year. I'd like to apologize for it. I just wanted to see you before I went north, but I think you seemed very frightened when you saw me.

I enclose something for you. I think it will make you more happy in Hogwarts next year. If you need to find me, send a letter! Your owl will find me... I'll write to you soon.

Sirius

——————

Harry looked eagerly in the envelope with a piece of parchment in it. He looked at it quickly, and suddenly he felt warm and satisfied, as if he had drunk a bottle of hot butter beer at one breath.

On that piece of paper, there is a sentence written: I, Sirius Black, the godfather of Harry Potter, hereby agree that he will go to Hogsmeade village at the weekend.

"That's good enough for Dumbledore!" said Harry happily, and he went to read Sirius's letter again. "Wait a minute, there's a postscript... Oh! Ron, this little owl is for you!"

Ron's eyes widened as he was, and the little owl was still crying excitedly.

"Keep it?" he said uncertainly, looking carefully at the owl.

After watching it for a while, to the great surprise of Harry and Hermione, he took it to crook mountain to smell it.

"What do you think?" Ron asked crook hill. "Must it be an owl?"

"Eh?" then Hermione seemed to find something out of the window. "Another owl!"

Harry and Ron looked around, but the taupe owl didn't slow down, but flew straight in the direction of Hogwarts.

……

The person who received the letter was Maka.

This letter is definitely not good news for him. Because, at this time, a notice document from the Ministry of magic.

——————

Dear Mr. McLean

According to the relevant information and the records of the personnel involved in the case of our department (Magic law enforcement department), you have a significant connection with the continuous homicide in Hogsmeade village.

The death of the wizard has been confirmed due to your behavior on that day. The law enforcement personnel of the Ministry of magic will arrive at your position in a short time. The Ministry of magic will confiscate your wand and give you the punishment of temporary detention and cooperation with the investigation.

Although Maka had long been prepared to go to a Ministry of magic, the wording of the notice was so strong and so reckless that he frowned.

The notice only mentioned that he killed people, but it didn't explain the identity of the dead at all. Reasonably speaking, after Pettigrew Peter was frozen, the black gas wrapped around his body had completely disappeared, and the Ministry of magic obviously knew his true identity.

Although there may be a confidential relationship, it can't make Maka stop guessing other possibilities.

He has a hunch that there must be something else waiting for him!

"There's a smell of conspiracy." Maka shook the notice and showed a thoughtful expression

When two Aurors appeared in the school with a whole team of batters, not only Dumbledore, but also several professors were startled.

"What happened?" Professor McGonagall looked at those Aurors who were blocking the school gate with a surprised look on his face.

"Who knows!" said the little professor flavy sharply.

On the other side of the castle, Snape came out, and Dumbledore walked beside him. Maka followed them and looked like she was coming to watch the fun.

However, in the surprised eyes of several professors, Maka came to the front.

"Who's in charge of this?" he looked around and said calmly, "I'm Marca McLean."

"I am." an Auror came out and looked at him hesitantly. "Then... Call out the wand first!"

Maka nodded, took out her wand from her cuff and handed it out.

"... please come with us. You need to cooperate in the investigation of Hogsmeade's related case - you should have received the notice document from the Ministry of magic?" after confirming the file, the Auror carefully put away Maka's wand and then stretched out his hand, "please."

Marca looked back and looked at Dumbledore, and he walked to Auror without resistance.

"Well... My God! What the hell happened?" Professor spraot suddenly ran over and asked loudly, "what did McLean do? Why -"

But Dumbledore reached out and stopped her.

"Pomona, Maka is just going to cooperate with the investigation. It's okay." he stared at Maka for a while. Then he calmly said to the Auror, "say hello to fudge and me!"

The Auror nodded seriously and left with Maka.

"Albus... What's the matter? Why did McLean..." Professor McGonagall couldn't help asking.

"It's about Hogsmeade village," said Dumbledore. "I'll follow up. Let's go back first!"

He paused, then looked at Willie standing aside and silently looking at the school gate and said, "miss brova?"

"... can I help you?" Willie turned and asked expressionless.

"I don't think I need it yet," Dumbledore smiled. "It's not as complicated as expected."

Willie nodded, passed Dumbledore directly and went all the way to the greenhouse. Dumbledore looked at her back with curious eyes, showing a thoughtful look.
