Hogwarts in the shadows

Hephis and Hermione did not stay long at Fulla's place.

The main reason is that Fulla's Veela bloodline has just awakened, and she can't control it at all, so it will be emitted from time to time.

Hephis was of course fine, he could handle it.

But Hermione couldn't stand it!

Even though they had left the villa, Hermione's face was still red.

Hephis looked at Hermione and felt a little worried.

If Hermione stays with Flora for a long time, she might become a lesbian.

"Hephis, the bloodline of the Veela is really terrifying!" Hermione had calmed down by now, but she was still frightened.

"The charm of the Veela is mainly aimed at men, and it is not that strong. It's just that this of Fulla... is indeed a bit too much." Hephis said in a deep voice.

Hermione hesitated, "Then Professor Snape must be miserable."

"Very miserable?" Hephis looked at Hermione in confusion, but he soon understood what she meant.

He nodded. "It's indeed a bit tragic. After all, Snape is not young anymore."

There was one more thing Hephis hadn't said yet, which was that Fulla was almost forty years old.

At the same time, the Black Shadow Corps' actions were also extremely swift.

In less than a week, the heads of the Flint, Selwyn and Crouch families were all captured alive.

Hephis took matters into his own hands, sealing the magic powers of the four of them and imprisoning them in a suitcase.

It's not that he's being kind, it's just that now is not the right time.

These four are all pure-blood families, and their family background cannot be underestimated.

Hefeth would feel sorry for them if he didn't wipe out their entire family.

He was happy about this, but the Ministry of Magic was in chaos.

Barty Crouch is the Director of the Department of International Magical Exchange and Cooperation.

Currently, he is in charge of communicating with the directors of the Ministry of Magic of the other two countries to discuss major events in the second half of the year.

However, Crouch's sudden disappearance made the directors of the other two countries extremely dissatisfied.

Minister Fudge had to send people out to look for it, but there was not a single clue.

In the end, Minister Fudge had no choice but to hold consultations in person with the directors of the two countries.

Although an agreement was eventually reached (because Crouch had actually finalized the plan before he disappeared).

But Fudge agreed to many unreasonable requests from the other party without knowing it.

This greatly reduced the British Ministry of Magic's dominant position in the incident and reduced it to a supporting party.

Hephis originally thought that this semester would end in such a boring way.

However, Kiki's sudden appearance reminded him of someone he had forgotten in the corner.

"Master, Qiqi has successfully captured Sirius Black." Qiqi reported to Hephis with his head held high.

"Well done." Hephis praised.

Upon hearing this, Qiqi stood up straighter, and a blush appeared on her little face.

"Take me there." Hephis stood up and held Qiqi's hand.

The two men disappeared from the spot in an instant, and when they reappeared, they were already in a makeshift cave.

This cave was tightly sealed by Kiki's magic.

Not only that, the bars of the cell were so dense that even a mouse would have difficulty getting through.

In the corner of the cell, Hephis saw Black who was tied up tightly.

He had messy, tangled hair and a skinny body.

The sallow skin clung to the bones, making it look like a living skeleton.

Hephis stared at Black, "Sirius Black."

"Who are you?" Blake's voice was hoarse.

A chair appeared out of thin air behind Hephis. After he sat down, he replied calmly, "A warm-hearted citizen."

Blake seemed to have noticed something and grinned nervously, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth.

"It seems that you didn't arrest me for the reward."

"That's right! Your head is worth one thousand Galleons." Hephis raised a playful smile at the corner of his mouth.

"But I'm more curious, who is that rat?"

Blake suddenly became excited and roared, "Where is he? I'm going to kill him! Kill him!"

He gradually fell into madness and struggled desperately with the ropes on his body.

Hephis shrugged helplessly, too lazy to talk nonsense with a psychopath.

He snapped his fingers lightly, and a spell instantly hit Blake: "Stupe!"

Hephis cut off Black's shadow and swallowed it directly.

Blake's memory was like broken fragments, chaotic and jumping, with no clear timeline.

However, as a master of memory, Hefeth still patiently sorted it out.

He flipped through the organized memory fragments and rolled his eyes.

Black was mentally ill, and James Potter was going crazy along with him.

Thirteen years ago.

In order to avoid Voldemort's pursuit, the Potter family chose to use the Fidelius Charm to hide their address.

But this magic has a flaw, which is that it requires a secret keeper.

The Fidelius spell will bury the secret that needs to be protected deep in the heart of the person who keeps it.

At that time, Dumbledore volunteered to become the Secret Keeper.

But Potter flatly refused at the time and insisted on choosing Black as the secret keeper.

The reason is also extremely ridiculous.

Blake was his best friend and he trusted Blake.

He believed that Blake would never betray him even in the face of death.

Potter's decision not only gambled the lives of his family on Black's humanity, but also brought danger to Black.

Because if Black had become the Secret Keeper at that time, he would have been the one hunted by Voldemort.

Dumbledore, who had reached the ceiling of combat power, did not use it, but chose to leave the danger to his closest friends.

This Potter is a complete idiot.

Then the subsequent development of the matter is even more difficult to understand.

The moment Potter was about to cast the Fidelius Charm.

No one knew what was wrong with Blake's brain, and he actually proposed to replace the secret keeper.

The new Secret-Keeper he chose turned out to be Peter Pettigrew, a man who believed that all Animagus were mice.

The changing forms of an Animagus can reflect a person's inner self.

It was a rare idea for Black to choose a mouse as the secret-keeper.

What's even more ridiculous is that Potter actually agreed.

Hephis really couldn't figure it out.

Why Potter would rather replace the Secret Keeper with a mouse than use Dumbledore.

As for the rest, it's easy.

The death of the Potter family made Black realize that he had trusted the wrong person.

He began a crazy hunt for Peter.

Finally he blocked Peter in a dark street.

Thinking he had killed the traitor, he voluntarily was arrested and sent to Azkaban prison to atone for his sins.

But in prison, Blake saw a Prophet newspaper.

It happened to be a photo of the Weasley family traveling in Egypt, with a mouse standing on Ron's shoulder.

Blake recognized the rat immediately as Peter Pettigrew.

At that moment, the anger in Blake's heart was ignited again.

So he escaped from Azkaban with the intention of killing Peter.
