Chapter 829
Dumbledore asked with interest.
Clearly, he was already used to Trelawney's style of prophesying that others were going to die every day.
However, Harry shook his head hurriedly.
"No, it's a real prophecy... maybe, anyway, yesterday Professor Trelawney said... Voldemort's servant will return to his side at midnight, and also said his servant will help him regain his power... Finally, she returned to normal. I think that was a real prophecy... So, could Peter Pettigrew's escape..."
Harry hurriedly stopped his words and looked at Darren worriedly.
Sure enough, Darren's face turned pale.
"Oh, Darren, it's not your fault, Peter Pettigrew is just too cunning..."
Harry comforted him hurriedly.
However, he was interrupted by Dumbledore.
He said softly: "Darren, no need to blame yourself, I think this is a very noble thing... Forget it, perhaps I should say this: if your mom and dad saw Peter, they would definitely have done the same as you.
They were always kind... Oh, your dad was too naughty during his time at school, even a bit annoying.
But he still wouldn't have made the decision to kill their former friend."
Darren's eyes were a little red.
He said hoarsely: "Professor, I miss them very much. Yesterday, when I saw Sirius, I almost thought I saw Dad.
I think, maybe Dad should have been like that to me... I know, I thought too much, they are already gone, it's me who always sees others as them."
"Child, do you think they are really gone?
No, they are in your heart. You love them, so they will always exist... Love, is always in your hearts."
The end of the semester was getting closer and closer.
No one knew what happened that night.
Except for Harry and the others who were involved, no one else knew clearly.
That night, besides Buckbeak and Sirius Black running away, Peter Pettigrew also slipped away.
Malfoy expressed great anger at Buckbeak's departure; in the Great Hall, he looked as if he wanted to cut Hagrid in half.
But back in Slytherin, he acted as if he had forgotten about it, following Crabbe and Goyle to play Wizard's Chess.
In the last week of the semester, Snape's attitude toward Harry was like looking at a bug or a dung beetle.
He seemed to want to give Harry an Avada Kedavra every minute.
This made Harry feel terrible.
Fortunately, they were about to go on vacation.
When they received their report cards, they finally realized this fact.
Darren's grades were all full marks as always.
He was already so excellent that all the teachers would sigh at his academic and moral excellence when they saw him.
Hermione's grades were also excellent.
But she still insisted on canceling her Muggle Studies.
This way, her course schedule finally returned to normal.
Finally, they boarded the train home.
Harry was extremely lost.
For a short while, he thought he could go to Sirius's house for the summer, but now that was all gone.
There was no news of Sirius, and Lupin had also left, nowhere to be found.
He could only return to the Dursleys.
Even though the Dursleys were okay to him, Harry really felt a bit uncomfortable.
Of course, this loss only lasted for a short while.
Because at this time, a small owl was pecking at their train window.
When they opened it, the little guy plunged into Darren's arms and then didn't move.
Darren hurriedly picked it up and pretended to be worried, handing it to Hermione.
In fact, he secretly patted his robes.
Good guy, where did this thing fall into along the way? Why does it look so dirty?
Hermione was also disgusted; she took out a handkerchief and wiped the little guy several times before taking a letter from its leg.
"It's a letter from Sirius!"
She lowered her voice and called out in surprise.
"Quick, open it! Read it out!"
Dear Darren and Harry:
I hope you receive my letter before you get off the train.
Because I'm not sure if anyone will find out that I'm writing to you after you get off the train.
I actually have one thing I should tell you: Harry's Firebolt was a gift from me.
Hermione called out excitedly: "See, I suspected Harry's Firebolt was a gift from him!"
However, except for Darren nodding with a smile, the other two men didn't respond at all; they were still waiting for Hermione to continue reading!
Hermione muttered something and continued reading:
Darren, enclosed with the letter is some compensation I'm giving you; this is money I had the owl take from my vault.
I broke that necklace, I know you have no money left, and you still have to repair that necklace.
I hope this will allow that necklace to be restored, otherwise I am willing to pay to buy it so you won't be so strapped for cash.
P. S.: You can ask your companion Ron if he is willing to keep the little guy that came with the letter; after all, because of me, he lost that rat.
By the way, also Harry, there is a gift for Harry attached, I don't know if he will like it.
Love, Sirius.
The letter ended there.
Hermione hurriedly turned the envelope over and poured it out.
A card fell out.
This was for Darren, and it contained ten thousand Galleons.
Darren calculated that he might need 100 Saintly Value to repair the necklace.
Mmph, which means he could receive these ten thousand Galleons out of thin air.
As for Harry.
He received the Hogsmeade permission form that Sirius gave him.
He could finally go to Hogsmeade.
Of course, there was also Ron.
Ron was a bit at a loss.
He took the little owl that was still struggling there, feeling it was extremely unreal. Did he just have a pet now?
Oh, Scabbers doesn't count.
Ron didn't want to recall Scabbers' situation in their house at all.
He felt that he could vomit just by thinking about it a little.
In order not to vomit in the future, Ron brought the little owl to Crookshanks.
"Oh, Crookshanks, you smell it, is it a pet? If it's an Animagus, bite it now!"
Crookshanks stretched impatiently.
It leaned over and smelled it, then raised its tail and lay on Darren's lap.
So Ron immediately thought of Darren's Lezi.
He complained: "Darren, you are too good to Lezi, it's actually so useless that it couldn't even see through an Animagus!"
"Mmph, I don't care if Lezi is lazy or useless, because it was given to me by brother, seeing it is like seeing brother."
Darren said gently.
Then he suddenly remembered, if that's the case, did he let the system eat Harry?
