The Charles Becomes a Wizard

Slytherin common room.

The black knight on the chessboard raised his sword high, and with a light swing, he turned the white chess piece into a pile of broken stones.

"I win again." Ciel crossed his fingers and supported his chin, looking at Draco sitting opposite him with a smile.

"No more playing, no more playing, you always win." Draco puffed his cheeks and pushed the chessboard away. He knocked on the armrest of the sofa in annoyance. The fire burning in the fireplace cast a warm light on his pale complexion: "When will those things go back to Azkaban?"

In order to prevent attacks by Dementors, the animals rarely leave the castle unless necessary. After all, with what happened to Harry, no one would believe the nonsense that the Ministry of Magic can control Dementors.

Even the usually bold and reckless little lions rarely run to the forbidden forest, not to mention the little snakes who always take their own safety very seriously.

There were only so many games that could be played indoors, and after staying in the castle for so long, even the most interesting games would get boring. Besides, Draco always preferred Quidditch to weird board games.

It's amazing that you can endure until now.

"At least we have to wait until they catch Sirius Black, right?" Blaise, who was sitting lazily on the other side of the sofa reading a book, replied without even looking up.

"Huh? That means those things will stay in Hogwarts forever unless we catch them?" Pansy raised her eyebrows in disbelief.

"If we look at the current efficiency of the Ministry of Magic," Blaise turned a page of the book, "I'm afraid this situation won't end anytime soon."

"So you still have the mood to read?" Pansy felt inexplicably angry when she saw his complacent look. She opened the gold-rimmed fan in her hand and pressed it on Bryce's book.

Braxton paused, but he was not angry. He spread his hands and looked at the unhappy girl: "So what do you think of me, beautiful Miss Parkinson?"

No matter how powerful the family is, they are just little wizards who are not even in the third grade yet. What can they do when so many adults are helpless?

While Blaise and Pansy were talking, Draco turned his gaze to Ciel, who was quietly collecting his chess pieces.

How can he not know if others don't know?

Sirius, who was smuggled into Hogwarts, is still under the nose of his godfather!

Don't say that he looked down on the Aurors sent by the Ministry of Magic, but he really didn't think those guys were capable of catching Sirius...

If it's really like what Blaise just said, the Dementors will only leave if Sirius is captured...

So for the sake of his nephew's future bright school life, Sirius, as an uncle, might... not mind making some sacrifices?

Anyway, he has been in Azkaban for so many years, and it should be okay for him to go back. It is better than staying in their house and making his mother feel uncomfortable.

Charles, who had no idea that Draco had already begun to plan to send Sirius back to Azkaban after using him, noticed Draco's gaze, tilted his head and smiled at him: "If nothing unexpected happens, they will leave soon."

As long as Peter Pettigrew was caught, Sirius Black would be cleared of the charges, and the Dementors would naturally have no reason to stay in Hogwarts.

I'm afraid Sirius will still be portrayed as a lone hero by the newspapers.

The Black family's assets that the Ministry of Magic seized will of course return to where they belong.

I wonder if Mr. Dumbledore would have any idea.

You know, when the Black family was divided up, as the victorious party in the war, the Order of the Phoenix also took a considerable share. Although many of those industries often suffered losses due to poor management, Dumbledore would not be willing to return these things, right?

As far as he knew, the Order of the Phoenix was not in a good financial situation now after losing the funding source of Hogwarts.

Charles was really curious about how many people would be willing to risk their lives for Dumbledore's empty and great "ideal" without sufficient financial resources.

Lucius learned a little bit of "Muggle tricks" from Charles' father and has begun to work on clearing the Malfoy family's reputation.

...Although due to the Malfoy family's bad reputation among half-blood and Muggle-born wizards in the past, the effect does not seem to be obvious at the moment.

What ordinary people think about every day is just a few inches of space in front of them. If they can give up a little bit of their interests and have a relatively stable living environment, how many people would be willing to risk their lives to start a war?

Human beings always crave comfort.

After hearing what Ciel said, Pansy and Braxton paused for a moment, then continued playing and fighting as if they heard nothing.

Draco's eyes lit up: "You mean?"

"Don't worry, it should be over soon."

Charles did not lie. With Lupin's help, Sirius quickly caught the "rat" that was missing a finger in their previous secret base, the Shrieking Shack.
