A certain Hogwarts rune professor

Chapter 282 Shrinking Sirius

Hogwarts, Office of the Professor of Ancient Runes.

fireplace.

A bright green flame ignited, and Felix came out carrying a candy box, patted the dust off his body with one hand, and pushed open the office door.

It's the last day of the weekend, and the corridors are full of bustling, rowdy little wizards.

Felix knocked on the packaging of the candy box and said softly, "You are already in the castle, how do you feel?"

"I'm going to faint from the aroma in here." A complaining voice came from the box, "I was going to eat a sweet meal to my heart's content."

……

Felix walked into the principal's office, and Dumbledore had been waiting for a long time, "Bang——" the candy box fell on the long-legged table, and there were scattered clattering sounds and a cry of pain——

"Ouch!"

Dumbledore looked at Felix in surprise, and Felix returned a positive look, "It's just what you think... Our guest is a child." So Dumbledore touched the candy box with his fingers, and it was The lid popped off immediately.

The box contains half a box of sweet and greasy candies, such as explosive sandwiches, Bibi multi-flavored beans, ice mice, candied pineapple, toad mints... most of the products in the Honey Duke store are here.

A hand protruded from the candy pile, and the palm-sized Sirius grinned and pushed away the chocolate ball that was pressing on his head, pulled himself out with one foot deep and one shallow foot, and trudged to stand on the top of the candy pile .

He raised his head, Dumbledore's magnified face was looking at him with a smile, the phoenix with golden and red feathers let out a low cry, Fawkes flew around the circular office, landed on the long-legged table, tilted his head and looked at the box Sirius in.

Sirius looked at it vigilantly, "Don't come here, Fox, I fed you, remember?"

Fox yelped twice and turned his head away from him.

Dumbledore's blue eyes quickly curved an arc behind the half-moon lens, and he said gently: "It's amazing, I didn't expect to meet on this occasion."

"Me too," grumbled Sirius, leaning on the edge of the candy box, thrusting his arms hard, flipping over and jumping onto the table.He looked around, and there was a small puff of smoke from the strangely shaped silverware on the table, which looked like a terrible monster.

"Hurry up and change me back." He said dissatisfied.

Unlike Dumbledore's reservedness, Felix smiled happily. He tapped Sirius' head with his wand, and his body involuntarily swelled and enlarged. He quickly jumped off the table, and when he fell to the ground By then, it had returned to its original size.

Sirius stood upright with his back straight. He looked at Dumbledore and said with a complicated expression, "I'm back."

Dumbledore nodded slightly, "Sirius, even though Phineas sent back some information, I still want to hear your story with my own ears."

Sirius didn't refuse, he was silent for a moment, sat on a chair and started telling a story, he didn't look at anyone, but the two people in the office, including the portrait on the wall, stared at him intently.

"... Just like that, I escaped from prison, swam back to England, and then headed north again, like an evil spirit that came all the way to seek revenge."

Dumbledore concluded: "So, you're here for Peter Pettigrew. What about Harry?"

"I haven't had time to think it through yet," Sirius said frankly.

"When I found out Peter Pettigrew was alive, all I could think about was revenge. But I did see Harry a couple of times, on the Muggle streets the day he left his uncle's before school started— I wanted to see him once before I went north, but my transfiguration might have frightened him; the second time was at the Quidditch pitch - he flew very well, like James, but I dared not stay longer, Left in the middle; and during the Christmas break, I raided the Weasley boy near the Whomping Willow, trying to catch Peter Pettigrew. To be honest, I was quite scared at the time, and Harry's reaction was quick Extremely."

"The last time we saw each other was yesterday. I used Polyjuice Potion to disguise myself as a Muggle kid." He looked at Felix. "This little prop from Professor Hype has failed me twice."

Felix bowed slightly.

"How did you know where Harry lived, it was cursed... yes," Dumbledore smiled, "James told you, I should have thought of it."

Sirius shrugged: "James visited in seventh grade, but the family was not friendly. When he mentioned his favorite broom and Quidditch, they seemed to regard him as a homeless man." The words were full of sarcasm.

"Mr. Dursley may not be able to accept the existence of magic," Dumbledore said regretfully, "I have met him once, and if I ask you, he is very well-behaved."

Next, Felix talked about the Marauder's Map, emphasizing the magical ability of this magic item in finding people, "Whether it's Animagus, Polyjuice Potion, Invisibility Cloak, or a regular hiding spell , can't block it."

He seriously suggested: "I think we can try to make a new Marauder's Map."

Dumbledore thought quietly, tapped his slender fingers on the table, and said, "Felix, have you ever thought that the Marauder's Map is probably still at Hogwarts?"

Felix replied slowly: "I have really thought about this question, and it is not impossible..."

"But the scope is too large, students, professors, or in a certain book in the library... If I get it, I must hide this secret well."

Dumbledore blinked, "I think you may have overlooked a possibility." He said to Sirius, "The ideal heir in your mind should be the mischievous Gryffindor?"

Sirius nodded and said, "You're right."

Felix's eyes lit up: "So, the Weasley twins?" It was the first name that came to his mind.

"It's very possible. In fact, I still have a few candidates in mind. I'm going to write a few letters to confirm, and it won't take much time." Dumbledore said.

Felix felt a little regretful in his heart, but he quickly cheered up. Whether he could find the map or not, he was happy to see it.If he finds it, he can borrow it to study the finished product, which is more efficient; if he can't find it, he will gather a team to re-research and develop it, and develop more functions.

"The worst possibility is that Peter Pettigrew stole the map." He reminded.

"This is also what I'm worried about. He has plenty of time and reasons to do this." Dumbledore said, "The only possibility is that he doesn't think he will appear on the map, so he didn't take any action."

Felix agreed with this point of view, he looked at the time, "Principal Dumbledore, there will be a small duel match at ten o'clock today, if there is nothing else, I will leave first." He pointed to Sirius and said, " He will leave it to you."

Sirius' eyes suddenly lit up, "Duel competition? Harry should have participated in it too? Can I go and see?"

Felix looked at Dumbledore hesitantly, and Dumbledore frowned, "Sirius, you'd better stay in Grimmauld Place, it can guarantee your safety - the Ministry of Magic is still looking for you, if you are arrested Find out, we have no proof of your innocence."

"Just this one time—" said Sirius pitifully, "let me see Harry up close, I can be a doll, no one would ever think of that."

His words silenced Dumbledore, and Felix cast again, this time Sirius voluntarily jumping back into the box, and with a tap of Felix's wand, a silencing spell was cast outside the box.

Sirius lost his sense of the outside world.

Felix looked at Dumbledore: "He shouldn't be good at Occlumency?" Dumbledore looked at him with a smile, so Felix understood what the principal meant.

He picked up the candy box and walked briskly out of the office.
