Chapter 215 Take My Brother Away
Dumbledore's conversation with the Ministry of Magic employees overheard the students, and the foyer immediately buzzed with discussion: Sirius Black, who had killed thirteen people twelve years ago; Sirius Black, who had escaped from Azkaban; Sirius Black, who had lured the Dementors to the school.
Sirius Black was caught by the Ministry of Magic? Just like that, he was caught while he was still so young and fresh?
The entire school was immediately excited, everyone craning their necks to look at the oak gate of the castle, their gazes seemingly trying to penetrate the thick walls to get a good look at Sirius Black.
Before long, the students' wishes were fulfilled, and they were able to see the killer's true face.
Felix Ferguson returned, accompanied by four other Ministry of Magic employees and Sirius Black, who was bound.
Two members of the law enforcement team were injured. One member's right arm was bleeding profusely, and the other member's calf appeared to have been bitten through, with blood flowing continuously.
Sirius Black, on the other hand, wore a dirty, tattered prison uniform, his upper body tightly bound with ropes the thickness of a thumb, and heavy ankle braces that rattled as he walked.
Sirius Black had a gloomy expression, a pale face, and a sinister smile on his lips. His towering bone structure made him look like a dead man who had just crawled out of the grave.
The students' hushed chatter seemed to enrage Sirius, who, in a frenzy, shoved aside the two law enforcement officers holding him and charged toward a group of students with a sinister grin.
Fortunately, Felix and the others reacted quickly and stopped the rampaging Sirius. The three of them rushed forward and pinned Sirius to the ground with their bodies.
"I'm going to kill you all! Kill you all!" Sirius roared hoarsely, "Kill you all! Hahaha!"
Some students were terrified by Sirius's madness and kept backing away, wanting to get as far away from the serial killer Black as possible.
Belvina couldn't stand it any longer and shouted, "Get this bastard away right now!"
"Belvina Black! We meet again! You lackey of the Ministry of Magic and Dumbledore! You betrayed me! You betrayed your own brother! Ha ha ha—ha ha—"
Sirius, pinned to the ground, glared at Belvina with venomous eyes and let out a sickening laugh.
Snape looked at Belvina with a grim face. He didn't believe Belvina would betray Sirius. There must be a conspiracy involved!
Hearing Sirius's angry curses, Belvina wanted nothing more than to grab him off the ground and slap him across the face.
Now that things have come to this, how could director Blake not know who was behind the unauthorized additions and forced, awkward acting?
Sirius Black is such a jerk, he has absolutely no professional ethics and his acting is terrible.
He even grinned maliciously as he charged towards the students, clearly intending to charge only when he saw that the area was full of Slytherin students!
That's why Felix and the others reacted so quickly. If Sirius had actually rushed up to the students, wouldn't Snape have taken the opportunity to kill him?
Thinking of this, Belvina quickly took out her wand, wanting to end this farce caused by Sirius's unauthorized additions as soon as possible.
Now that the entire school has seen Sirius Black arrested by the Ministry of Magic, the objective has been achieved, and this scoundrel can no longer be allowed to continue his embarrassing act.
God knows what other outrageous things this bastard might do!
Belvina raised her wand and aimed it at Sirius, who was pinned to the ground.
To the students, Professor Black, who had pulled out her wand, was clearly enraged and embarrassed; she was in a panic.
She collapsed to the ground, unconscious! Belvina silently chanted a spell.
The acacia wand glowed red, and the spell struck Sirius, who was struggling, with pinpoint accuracy. The vicious fugitive immediately lost consciousness.
The zombie floats! Belvina silently chanted the incantation again.
Sirius, who was in a coma, was pulled up as if by an invisible rope, but his head was still hanging up, so he didn't become a hanged ghost.
Under the influence of magic, Sirius's arms and legs hung down naturally, suspending him a few inches above the ground in a bizarre and grotesque posture, making him look even more like a dried-up corpse.
The incompetent Felix Ferguson didn't dare look at Belvina, and hurriedly pulled the floating Sirius away from the hallway, not forgetting to call his team members to leave together.
As Felix and his group disappeared around the corner of the stairs, the startled students immediately erupted into a flurry of chatter.
"That's Sirius Black. He doesn't look like a good guy."
"He's a serial killer who murdered thirteen people; he's definitely not a good person!"
"Tell me, how did he escape from Azkaban?"
"Who knows? Maybe the Dementors let him go by secret."
"What does he mean by saying Professor Blake betrayed him?"
"You didn't know that Professor Black and Sirius Black are siblings!"
The castle hall was as lively as a marketplace, with almost everyone discussing Sirius Black, his bloody brutality, and how he escaped Azkaban.
Ron, who was usually very talkative, couldn't say a word at this moment. He stood there trembling, his back soaked with cold sweat.
"Ron Weasley, what's wrong?" Hermione asked with concern. "Why are you trembling?"
Hearing Hermione's voice, which was tense yet concerned, Harry, preoccupied with his own thoughts, finally noticed Ron's unusual behavior.
The young Mr. Weasley was deathly pale and trembling, looking even worse than Sirius Black, like a vampire seeing the sun.
"Ha-Harry, I-I almost killed you—" Ron stammered, still shaken. "Boo-Black is right outside. If he finds out you went to Hogsmeade, I-I—"
"Alright, Ron, Black has been caught by the Ministry of Magic," Harry said. "Even if I had just agreed to go to Hogsmeade with you, I would have gone through the tunnels; Sirius wouldn't have found me."
Hermione didn't blame Ron anymore. She whispered comfortingly, "That's right, Black can't do anything bad anymore. It's all over now, no one will hurt Harry anymore. Ron, cheer up."
"Yes, we can go to Hogsmeade without worry now," Harry said with a smile, "but I still don't plan to leave the school."
Harry would rather see Sirius Black, who had been captured, than visit Hogsmeade Village, and ask him in person about what happened back then.
At that moment, Dumbledore's booming voice rang out again: "Silence!"
The enormous volume, like a roaring letter, made everyone's ears ring. The students stopped their discussion and looked at Dumbledore, who was still standing on the marble stairs.
"Attention! No student is allowed to approach the room in the West Tower where Sirius Black is imprisoned," Dumbledore continued. "Any student found near Black will have fifty points deducted immediately, fifty points from each person."
Upon hearing this, the students looked at each other, puzzled as to why Dumbledore was saying all this. Who would go looking for Black, a ruthless killer?
"Enjoy your Hogsmeade weekend!" Dumbledore said, then turned and went upstairs, turning the corner and disappearing from sight.
First and second-year students left the foyer led by their professors, while the remaining students lined up again to be checked by the superintendent, Filch. Professor Flitwick had already left; he had gone upstairs with the Ministry of Magic employees.
The number of students in the hall gradually decreased, and after Filch checked the list, the students left the castle in an orderly manner to spend their weekend in Hogsmeade.
The students who came out of the castle stared wide-eyed and gaped, their mouths agape. They saw that the once smooth ground was now riddled with deep pits.
Along the road leading to the school gate, an adult wizard stood every ten steps or so, and more Ministry of Magic employees kept coming toward the castle.
The students who walked out of the castle were so shocked they couldn't close their mouths. The students still in line were also talking quietly about Blake, and every now and then someone would glance at Ron.
That's right, these people are focused on Ron, not Harry who's next to him.
Only a few students knew about Sirius's relationship with Harry, but everyone knew that Sirius had once stood in front of Ron's bed with a knife in his hand.
Before today, Ron enjoyed the attention he received, but today, he wanted to sprout wings and escape the hallway.
"Um—are we still going to Hogsmeade?" Ron asked, trembling. "Or should we go back to the common room?"
Neville definitely needs our company—we should keep Neville company.
As he spoke, Ron swallowed hard to moisten his throat, which was practically spitting fire. Ron Weasley swore he never wanted to be the center of attention again.
"If we go to Hogsmeade with Harry today, we shouldn't be in any danger, right?" Hermione whispered. "Harry didn't even get a proper look around last time before going back to school."
"Hermione! How could you bring Harry along and break school rules!" Ron exclaimed in surprise. "Let's go back to the common room, and I can borrow your homework while I'm at it."
Offense and defense shift, polarity reverses.
Ron stopped trying to persuade Harry to sneak off to Hogsmeade and instead advocated for him to stay at school.
Hermione, however, wanted to spend the weekend with Harry off-campus and show him around Hogsmeade.
While Ron and Hermione were debating, Harry ran up the marble stairs in three quick steps, trying to catch up with Belvina who was leaving.
"Professor, Professor!" Harry stopped Belvina at the top of the stairs leading to the third floor.
"If you were to ask me if I could go to Hogsmeade now, my answer would be that it's up to you," Belvina said. "It's all up to you."
Harry quickly waved his hand and said anxiously, "I don't plan to leave the school. I wanted to ask if I could ask to see Sirius Black. I have so many questions for him, and I'm afraid I won't have the chance later."
From Harry's perspective, the Ministry of Magic went to great lengths to capture the fugitive Sirius Black, and the next step was either to send him to the Ministry of Magic for trial or to send him directly back to Azkaban.
Whether it's the Ministry of Magic in London or Azkaban in the North Sea, it means that Harry will likely never see Sirius again.
"Professor," Harry suddenly lowered his voice, "Professor, don't you believe Sirius Black was framed?"
"Harry, I understand your desire to speak with Sirius in person," Belvina said. "But you'd better ask Professor Dumbledore for permission, as he has stipulated that students are not allowed near Sirius."
Belvina also lowered her voice and whispered, "Whether Sirius is guilty or not is not something I can decide right now."
Do you understand what I mean?
"But you're really not going to do anything?" Harry asked, puzzled. "If he's innocent, won't he have to face Dementors again—or even a Dementor's kiss!"
If Sirius found out about this, he'd be so moved he'd be crying his eyes out!
"Harry, are you planning to have me break out of prison and take Sirius with me?" Belvina said, "so that we siblings will be on the run from now on?"
"That's not what I meant. What I meant was, isn't there any other way?" Harry pressed. "Professor, let me meet with Sirius. Maybe I can persuade him to talk!"
After a moment's thought, Belvina said, "Alright, I'll ask Professor Dumbledore for permission to meet with Sirius."
"However, don't get your hopes up too high, after all, Sirius's crimes are quite powerful," Belvina continued. "You should go back and wait."
"Thank you, Professor Black!" Harry said excitedly. "Thank you, Belvina!"
He should thank us!
A sentence echoed in Belvina's ears.
