Chapter 845

~6 min read 1,066 words

I think Dumbledore knows all these situations, right?"

"Of course he knows. We asked him if he agreed to have Azkaban guards stationed at the school entrance. He wasn't very happy about it, but he agreed."

"Not happy? Weren't they sent to catch Black, why isn't he happy?"

"Dumbledore doesn't like Azkaban guards."

Mr. Wei Silai said in a heavy tone,

"Come to think of it, I don't like them either... but to deal with a wizard like Black, sometimes you have to join forces with people you would otherwise avoid."

"If they save Harry—"

"—then I will never say a bad word about them again."

Mr. Wei Silai said wearily,

"Let's go, Molly, we'd better go upstairs and continue talking..."

Xiang Xien heard the sound of chairs moving; Mr. and Mrs. Wei Silai were clearly coming toward the corridor.

Xiang Xien pointed his wand at himself, and his whole body disappeared into the corridor as if wearing an invisibility cloak; seeing Harry's dazed state, he casually cast a Disillusionment Charm on Harry as well.

The door of the private room opened, and a few seconds later the Weasleys brushed past them; the stairs clicked, and they knew the Weasleys had gone upstairs.

"He's looking for me..."

Xiang Xien heard Harry murmuring unconsciously; he was staring blankly out the window, as if Sirius Black were nearby.

"Xiang Xien..."

Harry turned his head quickly, looking at Xiang Xien as if he had seen a lifeline, and said hoarsely,

"Did you hear that, Xiang Xien? He's looking for me..."

Harry remembered Sirius Black once killing thirteen people with a spell, remembered he was Voldemort's capable assistant, remembered Fudge not pursuing their spellcasting outside school, but instead focusing on ensuring he was watched...

Sirius Black... his goal was obvious.

The sound of a waiter clearing dishes came from the corridor, Harry came to his senses, he looked at those calm green eyes, and felt inexplicably much calmer.

The Weasleys clearly thought he would be very panicked once he knew the truth.

But Harry happened to agree with Mrs. Wei Silai's point of view from the bottom of his heart, thinking Hogwarts was the safest place in the world.

Not only was Xiang Xien there, but Dumbledore was too.

Didn't people always say Voldemort only feared Dumbledore in his life?

Black was Voldemort's most capable assistant, he would surely fear Dumbledore too.

And these Azkaban guards everyone was talking about. They seemed to terrify most people; with them stationed around the school, the possibility of Black breaking in seemed minimal.

But...

Harry still didn't understand one thing: Xiang Xien said Black had other motives and wouldn't hurt him, so why was that?

While wondering this, Harry saw Xiang Xien silently gazing at a chair not far away, and then a small bottle floated over.

It was exactly Luo En's Rat Tonic, which had been placed by the chair where the Weasleys had sat.

Harry gripped the bottle happily, then looked at Xiang Xien; Xiang Xien nodded, and the two walked out quickly.

Just as they went out, they could see Fred and George crouching in the dark corner of the landing, laughing until they were out of breath.

They were listening to Percy turning his and Luo En's room upside down to find his badge.

"We took it,"

Fred whispered to the two, and showed the badge,

"We modified it."

The words on the badge had turned into "Big Head Boy."

Xiang Xien saw Harry's face twitching, clearly trying to hold back laughter.

With the Rat Tonic, Justin and the others were finally able to separate Luo En from his brother Percy.

Of course, everyone could see Percy's complexion wasn't good; after all, not everyone could be in a good mood with such a funny badge on their shoulder.

"Let's go..."

Luo En covered his mouth and ran out of the Leaky Cauldron hurriedly; once outside, he couldn't stop laughing, and this smile didn't stop until they reached the entrance of Flourish and Blotts.

The sunlight in Diagon Alley was golden, people were coming and going, and various pets were mixed in. At 1:30 PM, the sixth Kneazle had already crawled onto Xiang Xien's shoulder.

Until the shy young witch picked up the cat, Xiang Xien could talk to Professor Professor Professor Qiluo, who had just appeared and was in a hurry.

At this moment, Xiang Xien was standing outside Flourish and Blotts; the young wizards had already run in excitedly, and even Harry had temporarily put aside his bad mood.

"Professor, how is that matter going?"

Xiang Xien asked softly.

"I... I am very sorry, Mr. Green, I cannot find him."

Professor Professor Professor Qiluo, wearing a black robe, said tremblingly.

"This is not your problem; if he is determined to hide, none of us can find him."

Xiang Xien frowned slightly.

"Vol... he is very cunning, possessing power we cannot imagine, Mr. Green.

For such a long time, that place has become his territory..."

Professor Professor Professor Qiluo looked panicked, occasionally looking toward the crowded crowd, and finally said word by word,

"With his magic, I'm afraid even in that form, he can... can live... not only can he live, he will try every means to plot.

You must be careful, you must be careful. He will return... if we want to... destroy him, it certainly won't be in that forest.

You must know, in that form he cannot die, even if we destroy all the evil... he still has a chance to complete his evil plan..."

Professor Professor Qiluo said with deep concern.

"For the next period, please continue searching; if you encounter any problems, please contact me immediately through the magic hand mirror, I will have Tina go with you."

Xiang Xien said slowly.

He raised his hand and placed a Bowtruckle on Professor Professor Professor Qiluo's robe; Tina naturally crawled into Professor Professor Professor Qiluo's pocket.

"Ah, ah..."

Professor Professor Professor Qiluo looked at the tiny Bowtruckle in a daze; it was scratching Professor Professor Professor Qiluo's arm with its knuckles.

"It likes you; if you encounter an emergency, it will help you open the magic hand mirror."

Xiang Xien said.

"Oh, it likes me. Does that mean I'm doing quite well?"

Professor Professor Qiluo said in a trance.

"You are facing the most dangerous danger, the most evil evil, Professor."

Xiang Xien said seriously.
