Golden glitter

The new semester officially started on the third day after Shuimen returned to the manor, so the time is tight, isn't it?After all, the Christmas holiday is very short, and Europeans generally do not use it to hang out in the cold winter in the UK. Most of them choose to stay in a warm home and be with their family and friends.

It is precisely because of this that the four people with such outstanding appearances traveled all over the island of England, just adding a few unlucky people on duty to talk about.Nobody believes it yet:

"Hey, come on, John. If you're envious of Helen and me, just say it, and I won't laugh at you." This is a joke to my colleague who is still single when I come back from a date with my girlfriend.

"That's right, it's so cold, it's boring to be on duty alone. Today you will be off in rotation, go home and spend time with Lisa, the little girl is arguing for her brother every day. Be careful not to get a wife, you dead girl Control." This is a colleague from the same community.

"What I said is true. That family should be a tourist, holding a tourist guidebook on the Thames River, and I received the cash here... Especially the man with long hair, who is as beautiful as the one in the legend. Like an elf..." The young man who worked in the bank blushed slightly to defend himself, and he didn't know whether he was frozen or shy because of something.

"A man with long hair? Only women have long hair." A middle-aged man with a standard staff cut.

"Could it be that," a young girl who is usually very evasive pretends to be serious, "Peter, what you like is actually a man?" One second, two seconds, three seconds, the serious expression could not be stretched for a moment, and the original shape appeared , "Oh——, this girl's wolf blood is boiling!" This is a rotten girl.

"...Hahaha," after a few seconds of crash, everyone who recovered burst into laughter. Of course, there were also conscientious comforters to comfort the junior who was shot.

"Haha, cough, don't worry about it, Peter, ha, you also know that Su is like this, poof."

"Hey, cough cough, cough cough, don't take Su's words seriously, she just said that Su is a good girl. Speaking of which, you two are still in the same class, maybe you can get along and try?"

"Hey, Peter's hallucinations plus Su's imagination, this is a stage play." This is just to add to the confusion.

"I don't have hallucinations or anything." But it just attracted good-natured ridicule from everyone-after all, it's very unlucky to be scheduled for the Christmas holiday just after finding a job.

The flushed cheeks were interpreted as the embarrassment of being exposed and ridiculed, and then quickly forgotten by the parties in the corner of memory-after all, it was just a small episode in life, and even the person who saw it with his own eyes thought it was his own. Wrong, never turned up again.

The first news of the new semester: Harry Potter, the golden boy of Gryffindor, received a Christmas gift of fire.That is the fastest broom in the world today, a new model that was released only last summer, and the Nimbus series is completely incomparable with it.Unfortunately, the know-it-all lady of Gryffindor, Ms. Hermione Granger, reported to Professor McGonagall on the grounds that she did not sign it. As a result, the best broom was confiscated by the professors and faced the danger of being demolished.

Draco contorted a handsome face, gloating - at Potter, and grieving - at the broom.

"I wanted it during the summer vacation," Draco said. "Look at the smooth curves, the perfect shape...it's like the masterpiece of the gods, the perfect female Pandora. But I can only watch After being addicted to my eyes, my father said that he bought me Nimbus 2001 last year, and he refused to agree no matter how much I cheated... But it is really too expensive, one fire can buy more than seven Nimbus 2001s If you want me, use this money to arm the entire Slytherin team, hire a professional Quidditch coach, and definitely play until the stupid lions can't find the goal." Draco's eyes were full Eager, and disdainful, he is a devoted Quidditch fan and a qualified Slytherin.

Speaking of which, Minato has never been able to understand the mad love of wizards for Quidditch.

Let’s talk about the broom first. It’s not a comfortable thing to fly on a wooden stick (hey, four generations of adults, there are branches at one end.) No matter how you think about it.And that posture is completely inconsistent with the so-called reserved and elegant that the so-called nobles have always flaunted.I don't know how even they are so crazy.

Four balls, one Quaffle is an effective attack, two Bludgers are used to confuse, interfere, and hinder the opponent, and one Snitch is the final move to end the battle. (Hey, my lord, this is not a ninja duel, it can’t be analyzed in this way.) The idea is good, but only the Snitch’s speed can barely see it, but as soon as the Snitch appears—everyone else just watched, it means At the end of the game, even the practice is useless.I really don't know that with just a few balls, a dozen people can't handle it.

(Work: Fourth generation adults, you can't be so strict, people and children are no better than you, they are more than capable in the flying shuriken kunai detonation talisman length and short swords smashing stones and rotten wood...! You It’s like Huo to Comet 260 for the main candidates—others are just broken brooms for flying lessons—there’s no comparison at all!)

Quidditch is two teams of fourteen people riding brooms to play in the sky.Oh, yes, and a referee.Watergate really can't see this game (yes, it's a game. In the eyes of one of the eight colors of golden flash, even the top Quidditch game is like playing.) What's so fun-it's not as good as Ninja Games, Minato curls one's lips (my lord, that's all your pursuit, it's not as good as other wizards.) - so that wizards all over the world love it so much.

Is it because there are too few entertainment activities in the wizarding world, and it is rare that there is a Quidditch, so everyone puts their enthusiasm into it? (I have to say, Hokage-sama, you are the truth.)

Although Minato himself flies pretty well (no, right and wrong quite well, a once-in-a-century wizard).For this reason, Draco gritted his teeth more than once, claiming that Minato had wasted the talent bestowed by Merlin, and vowed to send his brother into the academy team to contribute to Slytherin's Quidditch Cup.For this, Minato could only sigh and sigh again, and swore to the sky that he would definitely enter the academy team, so he gave up.

"I don't know which prodigal guy gave such an expensive gift. The fire is only for the national team, and it is given to a junior as a toy? The national team will cry." No matter how talented that child is, he can't change him That fire □□ play is the fact that spoils this top broom.

"Maybe it's Sirius?" Draco speculated, (could the Malfoy family also have prophetic blood?) with a bit of malice, "Black is also an ancient nobleman, even if it has not been completed like this, the money for a broom is still out." I can afford it.” (So it was analyzed——!)

Yes, this is the only possibility.The savior boy's friends are all Weasleys, and it may be a problem to support himself. How can he afford such luxuries?And with Gryffindor's unrestrained nature, they would not do such a subtle thing of anonymity - they would wish the whole world knew that they did it.

"What a coincidence." Minato, who had been listening to Draco's whining, interjected rarely.

"What?" Draco, who had stopped chattering, didn't understand.

"Not long after Potter lost his broom, a new broom was delivered to his door... This news is only known at Hogwarts. The person who gave the gift was at Hogwarts and watched the game that day. "Minato said his own opinion.

"And it's Potter who's been on fire since the summer vacation." The person who knows you best is always your sworn enemy, and Draco proved this to be correct by saying, "That person lived in the Leaky Cauldron from Potter, or more I've been watching Potter for a long time. I even followed him all the way to Hogwarts."

"If it's Sirius, he can come and go at Hogwarts as he pleases. Or, he hasn't left since Halloween?" Draco gritted his teeth, "well, well, a fugitive has been with us for a long time. "

Draco took a deep breath: "Yes, the loyalist of the Dark Lord escaped from Azkaban and threatened to kill the savior boy to avenge him. A priceless broom was buried with the Golden Seeker, very noble. "(Children, you have conspiracy theory - by the author.)

"The premise is..." Minato narrowed his eyes.

"Black is a Death Eater." Draco was also very smart, and he thought of the key point at once, "and this is what some people want everyone to think." There are more crucial things.

"Given the general carelessness of Gryffindors, it's safe to say that Potter was unaware of Sirius' existence." Minato brought the subject back.

"As far as this point is concerned, Sirius Black is still quite smart, not quite a stupid lion." Draco commented on his uncle.

"And we all know..." Minato paused strangely, "He's not." Thinking back to the summer vacation, thinking back to her mother. "That is to say, the previous inference, the conclusion that someone wanted to lead, is not valid."

"Then the result is out. Black is undoubtedly old Potter's friend. He sneaked into Hogwarts for some reason, and finally saw the little Potter who lost his broom. I couldn't bear to see my friend's son sad and lost, so he anonymously—— After all, his current status is very troublesome - he sent a new broom, trying to please Potter. The proud Potter party was smashed by Granger, and the little witch with a sense of justice reported it to the professor, so there is nothing suspicious The items were confiscated, and Potter was even more upset as a result." Draco sneered, gloating so clearly.He couldn't help talking more, carefully concealing the trace of fear in his eyes, he didn't dare to think about the existence that controlled the entire wizarding world. "It's really, really nice. Ha, ha, ha."

"I'll go and stimulate them again." Said and ran out of the dormitory.For Draco, it was rare to have such a seasoning in the boring campus life, how could he miss it?

Minato just smiled and didn't move.Feeling that Draco's breath was far away, Minato said to himself, "And some people don't want Sirius to recover his innocence." Minato's eyes sharpened, he dared to think deeper than Draco, and he also wanted to More.What is that existence?what purpose?

Just looking up close, Blake is not a Death Eater, so why did he come to Hogwarts?In other words, why did he suddenly run out after more than ten years in prison?Was he looking for something in Hogwarts?

Don't tell him the ridiculous statement from the Ministry of Magic that Black escaped from prison to avenge the Dark Lord, as long as he is a Slytherin, he will not believe it.

Minato got up and walked to the library, where there was the information he needed for more than ten years, "Daily Prophet".

Evening News, November 1981, 11, "Daily Prophet" Supplement:

Black's spell killed thirteen Muggles in a whole street, including the hero Peter Pedillo.When the Aurors arrived, they only saw Black shouting in the ruins: "I killed James and Lily, I killed them..." It seemed crazy.Black is the secret keeper of the Potters (according to Dumbledore)... He let the Aurors catch him and throw him into Azkaban without any resistance... Hero Peter Pedilu, Mr. Potter's friend ...Mr. Pediru died at the hands of Sirius Black in order to avenge his friend. The biggest wreckage of him found at the scene was a finger...

July 1993 Daily:

According to the guards of Azkaban, Blake kept chanting "he is at Hogwarts...he is at Hogwarts..." before he escaped from prison. Grade savior Harry Potter...

What's at Hogwarts?Minato put down the newspaper in his hand and leaned back on the back of the chair.

This is a hidden corner of the library - there are many such corners in the Hogwarts library, where quiet students can read books.Sunlight poured in through the window, covering the young man's body. The warm sunlight softened the natural edges and corners, and the thinking young man seemed to melt.

"Meow~", a cat cry that shouldn't appear in the library interrupted Minato's contemplation, and then his legs sank, and a big ginger cat jumped onto his lap, pawing at the object he had just looked at. newspaper.

This cat is very smart, and Minato instantly understood what it was trying to express.He didn't drive it away. Having dealt with Ninja Beasts, he knew very well that animals are often much more sensitive than humans.

The big cat stopped and squatted there looking at him.Minato looked at the table. That page was a report on the awarding of the Merlin Medal to the hero Peter Pedilou.

"Peter Pettigrew?" Minato asked the cat sitting on his lap, and he got an answer.

"Meow", the big cat yelled cheerfully to express its affirmation, then jumped off the ground and turned into the bookshelf.Minato watched the cat's movements, and he had a hunch that what the cat was about to tell him was important.After a while, the cat really came back with something like parchment in its mouth.It put them on the table, looked up at the water gate, motioned to the water gate to look.

It was two rolls of parchment, one of which was opened by the water gate, and it was a notice of punishment: James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, Peter Pettigrew, for violating school rules, going out at night, teasing the professor, [-] points deducted , each person, inform the whole school.It is a normal school notice, it can be seen that it was written by Professor McGonagall (she is the dean of Gryffindor), but there are five lines and four handwritings at the bottom:

"The prongs look up at that neat bun."

"Padfoot greets the unchanging green robe."

"Moon Face expresses heartfelt condolences to the hardworking facial muscles."

"Wormtail pays homage to decades of unwavering singleness."

"Finally, collectively, the hijackers pay Professor McGonagall their highest respect."

He picked up another parchment, a magical map, with thin lines of ink, and little black dots with names on it.Minato noticed that where the library was, a small black dot floated his current name: Minato Malfoy, Minato Malfoy.

He's a Malfoy, he's never understood that better than he does now.Magic never lies, he is no longer the Ninja Ninja of Konoha Village, he has always known it.Magic kept his name - Watergate. Minato, he said silently.

A small furry paw came into Minato's sight, waking him out of his trance. "Meow", the big cat let out a cry of dissatisfaction, moved its paws, and stepped on a place for Shuimen to see.

"Sorry." Minato whispered too modestly, following the cat's paw.That should be a certain tower, and the floating name on the small black dot is—Peter Pedilu.

Shocked, Minato stood up in shock, and the chair slid and made a harsh sound.

The big ginger cat picked up the map and ran away. After a while, there was a commotion next door.

"Hermione Granger, take care of your cat." A certain red hair yelled irritably.

"Crookshanks, come here." The girl's voice said, "Ron, you have to know it's just a cat." The tone was haughty and natural.

"Oh, the Marauder's Map." A certain unlucky savior said.

"It's forbidden to make noise in the library, and it's forbidden to bring pets." Mrs. Pince roared.

"I'm sorry." There was a burst of chaos, and the sound of messy footsteps gradually faded away.

Minato stared blankly at the parchment marked "Punishment" in front of him (where did the punishment notice come from?), his brain was spinning rapidly.

The hijackers are good friends, James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupine, Peter Pediru.Black is the secret keeper of the Potters. As we all know, the Loyalty Curse has been broken, the secret keeper has informed, and Black is a traitor, it is obvious.Blake killed Peter, Blake is a traitor, then Peter is a hero, as it should be.But now it is known that Black is not the Dark Lord's man, and Peter is not dead...Peter is hiding in Hogwarts, and Black is here to kill him, which makes sense.

Minato sat back on his chair, took out a blank parchment, and began to list clues and organize information.

What happened 12 years ago must have something else hidden.He remembered the story from the Gryffindors about the Savior boy seeing a huge black dog over and over again—they spread the omen of that as a dog spirit.The family crest of the Black family is a dog, and the dog's footprints disappeared under the Whomping Willow on Halloween.

Padfoot... It seems that I have to find a chance to meet this uncle.Minato thought about it.
