"Good morning, Sirius... It's great to see that you can open your eyes and look at me."
On the second floor of the Hudson River cabin, when Abigail came into the room after sending the letter, Sirius was very surprised to see Maka.
"Oh - that's what I think," Sirius said with a bitter smile, leaning against the bed.
Marca smiled and came to the bed and happily hugged Sirius - in fact, Marca has never been used to this kind of overly enthusiastic meeting etiquette, but this time it was different.
If something went wrong, he might not be able to see Sirius alive.
"Don't talk about the past for the time being. I'll check your health..." Maka loosened her arms and let Sirius lean back on the padded pillow. Then she immediately said, "to tell you the truth, you don't look good."
However, his movements were stopped by Sirius.
"No, don't worry, I have more urgent information to tell you -" Sirius said seriously. "I would have done it myself if you didn't come to New York. But since you came, it must be more appropriate for you to trace it."
"Hmm?" Marca paused. "What information?"
Sirius was about to say, but he opened his mouth, but subconsciously glanced at Abigail and Olivia standing aside.
"Sorry," he thought, "our next topic is not interesting. If you don't want to know some dangerous information, um... You'd better avoid it."
Just listening to Sirius say so, the two sisters are naturally confused. Olivia, in particular, was staring blankly at Sirius at the moment, as if she didn't realize what he meant by "dangerous intelligence".
Of course, in fact, she was not curious, because after a while of confusion, she naturally began to look at Maka, as if she was very interested in the new young wizard.
On the other hand, Abigail thought a little carefully, but then he also set his eyes on Marca.
"Mr. McLean..." Abigail suddenly called Marca, and the expression on his face looked quite solemn.
"Well, what's the matter?" Marca smiled politely at her.
"Can I learn magic from you?" she said seriously, "even if I just ask you some questions regularly by letter!"
"Er..."
Maka glanced at Sirius in bed, who smiled and shrugged.
"If it's just a letter exchange," he said, looking at Abigail, "because I'm still a professor at Hogwarts School of witchcraft and Wizardry for the time being - maybe you know, the British wizarding world is not stable recently."
"Ah!" Abigail could not help but stare. "Professor of Hogwarts? I, I thought --"
"... thought I was a black wizard?" Marca smiled.
"No, I don't mean that." Abigail quickly waved his hand. "Although I thought so before, this misunderstanding has been solved, hasn't it? I mean, I thought you must be younger than me..."
Maka nodded calmly and said, "you're right - if it weren't for a lot of accidents, I should still be at Hogwarts now!"
"Eh?" Abigail was stunned.
"Is that an accident?" Sirius leaned on his pillow and glanced at Marca.
"Cough, hum, anyway -" Maka said, "if you have any questions about magic research, you can write to me at any time, and I'll write back to you as soon as possible. Well, you'd better not expect the speed of reply, after all, I haven't lived well for a long time..."
"Yes, you can ask him any questions. Don't be polite to him," Sirius said with a curl of his mouth. "I haven't seen him embarrassed by anything."
"No, at least it's a tough problem for you," Marca frowned. "I still think it's best for me to check it carefully before anything else."
"Is it so serious?" Sirius hesitated a little, but quickly shook his head. "No, my physical condition should be put aside first. I must tell you what I know as soon as possible. It's related to Hogwarts's safety!"
"Livy, let's go out first!" Abigail said suddenly.
"Eh?" Olivia said reluctantly, "why? I want to hear it, too?"
Abigail pursed his mouth, grabbed the arm of the sister who had not yet understood the situation, and forcibly dragged her out of the bedroom.
"Then speak quickly!" Marca looked at the gently closed door and said to Sirius.
"First of all, I have to start from the moment I left the old house..."
Sirius quickly sorted out his thoughts and picked out some of the most important things about his experience during this period, and of course, the focus was on what had happened recently.
In the original "crazy wizard incident", Sirius once tracked down the black market in order to find the culprit for Kingsley.
Although his investigation efficiency is also very high, after all, he does not have the level of magic medicine like Maka. In the end, Maka was the first to solve the incident.
Sirius, who knew the situation secretly, didn't go back at all.
Because he knows very well that the current order of the Phoenix does not have enough control over the British magic world. In fact, someone needs to inquire for a long time in order to prepare for a rainy day.
Whether in the Muggle world or in the magic world, the importance of intelligence is extraordinary. Sirius was good at this kind of work. Even if he was still carrying a wanted warrant, there would be no wizard better than him.
Sirius is certainly confident, because he is still the fearless "big foot board" in those days.
Obviously, his ability does deserve his exuberant self-confidence.
After a long time of lurking around the magic world, when he learned the news of Dumbledore's sudden death, a rather secret intelligence made him immediately turn his worry about Hogwarts into vigilance.
The information from the goblin shows that several suspicious black wizards frequently go in and out of the dark spirit Pavilion in the black market, which seems to be raising a large amount of money.
In order to avoid missing important information, Sirius ambushed near the dark spirit Pavilion for more than ten days and monitored it very carefully.
Facts proved that his hard work was not in vain, because he waited for the black wizards after all. More importantly, he found a familiar figure among those guys.
"... it's my crazy cousin. Although she covered her face, how can I recognize her wrong?" Sirius narrowed his eyes and said coldly.
"Bellatrix?" Marca nodded. "That woman really doesn't admit mistakes."
After that, Sirius suppressed his unhappiness and secretly followed the death eaters. Of course, he was ready to watch them move away.
But he didn't think that after the other party finished in the dark spirit Pavilion, he didn't immediately withdraw from the black market, but walked into a noisy bar.
There, he saw a wizard with a "bloody smell" all over his body.
In terms of madness, Sirius's cousin is an extremely crazy person.
After Voldemort was quite suddenly defeated in front of Harry, Bellatrix was one of the loyal black dead who spontaneously began to look for their master everywhere.
The woman who showed loyalty to Voldemort was finally imprisoned in Azkaban. But even in the Azkaban wizard prison guarded by a large number of Dementors, she never gave in from beginning to end.
On the contrary, her madness was even better than that of the year.
However, the wizard Sirius saw in the bar was more crazy and strange than his crazy cousin.
"I'm familiar with that look," Sirius frowned. "In the years of Azkaban, I've seen several guys like him. But I think those people are still lack of him to some extent. I'm afraid that guy will be more crazy and have a very firm evil belief!"
"So, do you know who he is? What are those Death Eaters doing with him?" Marca asked immediately.
"At that time, the bar was too noisy, so I heard a few words -" said Sirius, emphasizing with emphasis, "it's' newmengard '! I heard the word' newmengard '
"... is it really the rest of greenward's party lurking?" Maka said clearly.
"You know?" Sirius said in surprise. "Not everyone knows. The information of the wizard war was not comprehensive, and few people know the final destination of Garrett greenward - I also took a lot of effort to speculate!"
"Well..." Marca smiled. "In fact, I've been to newmond before, but it's a pity that it's a little close - greenward ran away before I arrived."
"You -" Sirius stared at Maka for a long time, and then sighed, "how could this kind of thing be without you... I should have guessed."
After a pause, he turned to ask, "so, do you know about America?"
"No," Marca shook her head, "I really don't know. If it weren't for your note, I wouldn't want to come to New York! But who can imagine that the rest of greenward's party is still studying the silent? And they really made some famous..."
"You mean, those black fog groups that attacked me... Are really 'silent'?" Sirius seems to have not confirmed this. "I didn't expect that they are 'silent', I thought they would only exist in the history of magic!"
