Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

No, are you coming again?

The corners of Anriel's mouth twitched, and even the honey in his hand didn't seem sweet anymore.

Didn’t we just talk about the painting yesterday? Why are we talking about it again today…

Sirius, does the portrait at the entrance to the Gryffindor common room have a grudge against you?

Anriel held a honey lollipop in his mouth and squeezed it further.

as predicted.

The portrait of Sir Cadogan, who was arranged by Dumbledore to replace the Fat Lady, was now in pieces and had turned into a pile of fragments on the ground.

The difference from yesterday was that there were no knife marks on the pieces of cloth piled up today. Instead, they looked as if they had been torn off by some large wild beast.

All in all, the condition of Sir Cadogan's portrait was much worse than that of the Fat Lady yesterday.

Sirius seemed to have vented the depressed emotions he had just received from the old and young guys in a beastly way...

After a careful inspection, Anriel discovered that some pieces of cloth still had paint on the edges.

Judging from the portrait, this probably means that Sir Cadogan was injured.

How should I put it... Could it be that this Don Quixote-like character had a knightly duel with Sirius?

"Have you found Sir Cadogan?"

A young man with black braids standing near the remains of the portrait turned around, realized it was Anriel, and nodded.

Anriel remembered that his name was Lee Jordan.

"Found him—he was in a bar in a painting on the fifth floor. A few drunks there disinfected and bandaged his wound."

At this moment Fred—or George, one of them anyway—came in and said:

"He was in a terrible mood, as if because his horse had been killed."

Lee Jordan nodded in agreement and pursed his lips at a piece of scrap canvas.

Anriel looked carefully and saw that there was half a horse head painted on the palm-sized canvas, with its eyes rolled up and covered in blood.

But he knew the reason.

Not only was Sir Cadogan in a bad mood, but Sirius was also in a bad mood...

Anriel scratched his head:

"I remember the same thing happened yesterday..."

Although the voice was very soft, everyone who could hear it rolled their eyes:

No, you tell me?

Didn't this just happen yesterday?

The people who were nearby looked at Anriel speechlessly, and only heard him say slowly:

"Look, I told you that anti-theft doors like portraits are unreliable. I'll arrange for two lion-head door knockers to be delivered to you in a couple of days.

However, this kind of anti-theft door in other college styles is only for emergency use after all, and it will have to be replaced when the time comes."

Several people looked at each other, unable to tell whether he was joking or serious.

Anriel was indeed joking - but if the Gryffindors wanted it, he could give it to them.

The purpose of his joke was...

"Ah, sir, you are here."

He was waiting for Dumbledore.

Both Dumbledore and Anriel had full psychological expectations for what was happening before their eyes.

After all, Anriel told Sirius that his defense was broken, so it was not surprising that he did anything. Let him vent, that's fine...

Maybe Sirius’ only bottom line now is not to hurt students.

So Dumbledore stared at the shattered frame, looked symbolically at the remains of Sir Cadogan's portrait, and said:

"Anriel, go find Professor Flitwick.

Ask him to temporarily set up a door control system for the Gryffindor common room in the style of the Ravenclaw common room."

Anriel: “……?”

Others: “…Ah?”

Dumbledore was somewhat puzzled:

"Did I just... say something wrong? This kind of access control system in the style of other colleges is only for emergency use and will not be used all the time."

As if to calm everyone down, Dumbledore added the second half of the sentence.

The silence from everyone present was deafening.

You two...are really close relatives.

This little episode did allow the people present to relax a little.

Otherwise, because Sirius Black's actions could be described as... outrageous, everyone would be under a lot of psychological pressure.

He actually sneaked into the castle for two consecutive days, attempted to break into a college's common room, and even broke the door control of the room.

Two days in a row!

This is undoubtedly a very horrifying thing for the children who learned about Blake's "crimes".

No one wants to wake up suddenly from their sleep and look up to see such a vicious serial killer.

Anriel suddenly had an idea.

He looked around and finally fixed his eyes on a milky white figure floating in the air.

Peeves shuddered immediately and subconsciously wanted to slip away.

Now in this school, Peeves is only afraid of two "people".

One of them is dead, the Bloody Baron, the ghost of Slytherin;

The other one... is Anriel, who holds the Resurrection Stone in his hand and looks like neither human nor ghost to a ghost like Peeves.

The feeling of being a natural enemy of your race cannot be overcome by willpower alone.

"Yes...yes, sir..."

Peeves bowed timidly, his two short legs shaking like sieves as he responded fearfully.

"Don't be so nervous... I want you to look for Sirius Black while you're playing a prank on the whole school.

I believe that with your frequency of pranks, you will be able to find him soon, don't you think?"

Peeves' face was almost as droopy as a persimmon, but he couldn't resist and could only agree with a bitter look on his face.

Anriel nodded and waved his hand as if to shoo away a mosquito, and Peeves ran away as if he had been pardoned.

"No sir, what now?"

Anriel turned to Dumbledore.

"Do we need to gather all the students together and make unified arrangements?"

Dumbledore pursed his lips, looking thoughtful. After a moment, he nodded:

"That's best. Let the students sleep in the auditorium today."

......

absurd……

Anriel didn't quite understand.

But he still bowed as Dumbledore instructed and strode towards the hall.

And when Anriel turned his back to Dumbledore, he frowned slightly.

The weird feeling of detachment that the Chamber of Secrets episode gave him last year reappeared.

It seems that as long as he doesn't catch Sirius Black, this plot will still appear in the plot.

This "catch" obviously refers to restricting his ability to move.

Is this the correction of the world?

Anriel shook his head slightly and walked out of the corridor in front of the Gryffindor common room.

He and Dumbledore both knew that Black would never make a big deal out of this, but as the headmaster, the old man still had to put on an act.

Then Anriel can only help him manage things, such as organizing and enforcing discipline...
