Golden glitter

Since Black broke into the Gryffindor dormitory that night and was seen by the Weasleys, he hadn't been seen again.

Speaking of this, Minato couldn't help but think of the Halloween night when they collectively laid the floor in the auditorium.Speaking of which, don't great people always have some eccentricities?For example, "Three Ninjas" represent "pornography, gambling, and drugs", but he doesn't have any? (Who said that, you don't know that the second generation said that you are a natural dumb.)

What he has always been puzzled about is not the colorful sleeping bags recommended by the principal—although he does not agree with that taste, but the place of refuge—the auditorium.

The Great Hall of Hogwarts is of course on the first floor, whether you go to the tower or the cellar, you need to pass by.Thinking of the refuges in Muye Village, no matter whether they are in the heart of Yanshan Mountain or elsewhere, they are all in the hinterland of the village-the refuges guard the hope of ordinary people in the village who have no fighting power and the village, which guarantees It will be the last to be captured.And Hogwarts, from the castle gate to the auditorium, there is only the small room where the freshmen wait for sorting and a short corridor.This should be the place where the final battle force gathers. As long as foreign enemies pass through that corridor, the students gathered here are undoubtedly a huge target—this is Minato's conclusion.

Weasley and Granger fell out, supposedly because Granger's cat ate Weasley's mouse.

Minato still remembered the very spiritual cat, and wondered if it had discovered something again.

"Hope Weasley doesn't need to make up exams this term." Draco sneered.It's no secret that Ron Weasley's homework depends on copying Miss Know-it-all's talent to get in the job. I've also heard about Granger, who fell into pre-exam syndrome at the end of the first two semesters, forcing the two boys to study crazily. , he just smiled and said nothing.

The savior of Gryffindor remained uncharacteristically silent, as if he didn't notice that his two best friends had fallen out long ago-if the savior had played the role of peacemaker between his two friends before, with him In the middle and the mud, the relationship between these two people will not collapse like this.

Everything is normal, and soon, even the final exam has passed.

It's been chaotic since evening.Watergate was walking in the aisle of Hogwarts, it was still early, and he decided to go to the library to borrow a book to pass the time.

In the afternoon, the Ministry of Magic came, the executioners of the Department of Magical Creatures - strange to say, but it is true: they were from the Department of Magical Creatures of the Ministry of Magic, and they came to execute the wounded hippopotamus. Winged.After such a long delay—nearly a whole school year, Minato had never hoped for the efficiency of the Ministry of Magic—in the end, the ignorant beast was the final victim.Neither the half-giant who led it out of the forest, nor the white wizard who acquiesced in the half-giant's little hobby, took even the slightest responsibility for it.Minato didn't want to say anything about it.

Originally, he was making up lessons at the godfather - there was still a period of time between the end of the exam and the official holiday, and the free time all day gave Minato and Draco enough time to try some more energy-intensive and complicated potions.Of course, it had to be under Snape's supervision, but today ended so early.Recalling that the godfather seemed to have remembered something urgent and ended the class in a hurry, Minato frowned imperceptibly.

Sitting on a window sill in the corridor on the second floor, Minato took out the book he had borrowed earlier: "The Magic of Time".This place is very quiet during this period of time... It should be said that since several people had accidents in this corridor last year, the students have subconsciously avoided this place—unless it is necessary for class, they will never come here.

The soft light is sprinkled here, not dazzling or dark, it is a good place to relax.

Opposite the castle is the Forbidden Forest. From here, you can see the situation on the site at a glance, and the view is very good.So Minato took it for granted and easily noticed that wave after wave of people came out of the castle, reached the edge of the Forbidden Forest, and disappeared under the famous Whomping Willow (the Savior hit it last year).Minato noted that those were either acquaintances or celebrities.Among them was the big black dog he had been looking for for a long time, and their great headmaster—Minato realized that this might be the godfather's temporary "urgent matter".

Standing up and jumping down from the window sill, he shrunk the book and threw it into the pocket of his robe - I have to say that sometimes magic is really convenient, compared to ninjutsu.The water gate lightly landed on the corner of the wall, sneaking away all the way.

Passing by a bush, Shuimen paused for a moment, then continued walking towards the willow tree.It seems that he didn't see a large gap in the bushes and the abnormally fallen branches; A battle-hardened ninja, but just an ordinary, careless, normal 12-year-old.

The Whomping Willow is a magical plant, and it's a very bad-tempered variety that will attack any creature that comes near it.However, he already knew how to deal with it—so many people passed by just now, he saw it clearly.Minato twitched the corner of his mouth, there were really many people.

He casually took out a toothpick—there are many such things on the long dining table. With a flick of his wrist, the thin wooden stick flew out, and in the blink of an eye, it was nailed to the knot at the root of the tree. up, firmly.Almost at the same time, the Whomping Willow became quiet, and the drooping branches swayed gently in the wind, as if it were just an ordinary willow tree.

Minato hesitated, and arranged a simple illusion barrier under the tree. The illusion is very simple, and it can only deceive small animals, but the ninja's intuition told him that it was necessary.The water gate didn't stay any longer, and the hole under the tree disappeared.

It was a secret passage - oh, the last thing Hogwarts lacked - dark, narrow, long, bumpy, first down, then up.Watergate figured out that this was the way to Hogsmeade, well, there was an element of uncertainty, how on earth did Hogwarts keep its title of safest?At last it came to the end, which was also the exit, and Watergate touched a plank that seemed to be a trapdoor.There were conversations beyond the door, no, perhaps arguing would be more appropriate.Minato lay there quietly, listening.

Very good, all the previous people are here.What, that suspicious Peter Pettigrew?Oh godfather, how can you be so restless.

"Expelliarmus," Potter's voice came suddenly.

"Bang", the sound of something heavy hitting the wall and falling to the ground, the dispute subsided.

"Okay, all you need is a spell, it's very simple." It was the voice of the werewolf professor, and there seemed to be a trace of hatred in the gentle voice?

"Squeak, squeak..." Why is there the sound of a mouse struggling desperately?

"Oh." cried the third-year Weasley.

No godfather's voice?It's impossible for him to keep quiet at this moment, so yes, something happened!

"Show your true form." Almost at the same time as Lupine's spell, the water gate burst out of the hiding passage.

The curse hit an ugly mouse that wanted to escape, its body began to twist and swell, like a blown balloon, and quickly elongated into a humanoid object... A skinny and ferocious man jumped at him, and the man screamed "I'm going to kill you", the scene was chaotic...

Minato ignored the confusion and the screams of Ron "Malfoy" as he glanced across the empty room and saw what he was looking for.The man in black huddled in a corner in a weird posture.The black hair in the shawl blocked the cheeks, and the skin that had not seen the sun for many years seemed even paler.No, it doesn't seem to be true, it's paler.After many years of ninja career, Minato can tell at a glance that his chief just passed out, but he must be uncomfortable.

The water door came down to Snape's side, and squatted down to support the black robed body.He was surprisingly thin, not juvenile-slender, but really too thin for a grown-up Western man of such height.Minato knew that his godfather was having a bad time, and he had always known it, but he didn't expect... This is self-imposed exile, otherwise he wouldn't have spoiled himself to this point.No wonder my father always harassed the godfather, trying to make him let go, or just temporarily forget something!

Minato's hand brushed the man's black hair, trying to lift the back of his head, and got sticky wet.

Blood—the word Minato thought of for a moment, and he was all too familiar with it—is probably the injury he suffered when he hit the wall just now.Minato pulled out his wand, and cast a Healing Charm on the small wound—this was learned not long ago under Madam Pomfrey's guidance, and he didn't expect to use it so soon.

After dealing with the matter in hand, Minato turned his gaze to the group of people on the other side of the room.

Well, look what he saw?Another Potter and Granger - he thought of the two idiots out there messing with the Invisibility Cloak.time-turner?There is no magic in the wizarding world (even if magic can be done by wizards), there is only this explanation.Although that book mentioned a lot of feasible time magic, Minato believed that at their level, only Granger's time-turner could be used—remembering that she had taken all the courses, Minato's black line a handful.

Ignoring a bunch of wands pointed at him - they didn't threaten him at all.Minato helped the Potions Professor who was gradually waking up, and turned to Lupin: "Professor Lupine, the moon is full today." Lupine nodded to express that he knew that the moon tonight would be very full. "Excuse me, do you remember to drink wolf potion?"

Lupine froze for a moment, and Black's expression gradually became enlightened and then panicked after hearing the word "full moon".The two little lion cubs who didn't like reading books looked blank. They obviously didn't understand what the full moon represented and what the wolf potion was.Granger was already screaming in horror. It was obvious that the little witch who loves to learn had seriously completed the homework assigned by the Snake King.

"Werewolves," she shrieked, dragging the two companions away from them, "Lupine's a werewolf." And now the two boys panicked too—ignorant enough to have played no role in wizarding or Muggle stories. They had heard of this creature called color before—looking at their favorite professor in horror.

"Sure enough." As soon as Minato saw Lupin's expression, he knew that this unconscious Houtian werewolf ran out without taking medicine on the night of the full moon-once a month when he lost his mind. , ran to the three young wizards who had no resistance.

"Hmph," a disdainful hum came from beside him, and with a light shoulder, Snape had regained consciousness and stood up by himself, "Gryffindor," he said.

"Snotlinger—" Blake's yell was ignored.

"Severus," the werewolf smiled awkwardly, he already knew why the Potions Master came, "that..."

"Nothing."

"What?" Lupine wondered.

"I said no more," Snape said impatiently, "it was smashed by Potter just now." He shook his sleeves, and some glass shards fell out, stained with some liquid of unknown color.

Lupine froze completely, and so did Potter.He didn't know, he really didn't know that the old bat would still carry such valuables.Since it is a valuable item, why not use something harder, but a potion bottle that shatters when touched!The poor little lion was so confused that he couldn't speak coherently. He obviously forgot that the potion was meant to be put in a potion bottle, and no matter how expensive the potion was, it was meant to be drunk.

"Meow," a meow broke the eerie silence.A big ginger cat jumped out of nowhere, walked to the foot of the water gate while Hermione exclaimed "Oh, Crookshanks", and rubbed against his trousers.

Two lion cubs glared in horror at the cat, which walked calmly towards the dreaded potions master, as if it were about to turn into a pot of stew.The big cat turned around and gave them a contemptuous look, then leaned towards the black-robed professor again.

Minato took a funny look at the two little lions who were petrified, deserted, and about to be weathered into slag—the pile of sand with a little red or a little black on top was really funny.Turning to Lupin who had recovered to normal, he was serious and could not be refuted: "Then, Mr. Lupine, please follow the previous--I mean, how you spent the day before you got the potion provided by the dean. As for The others," turning to the side of the trio, "I personally think it's better for them all to leave."

"No, I want to stay with Remus." The big dog without a brain blurted out the words without thinking.

"Hmph, the fugitive is to be brought to the Ministry of Magic for trial, or—" Snape drew out his voice, full of malice, "a dementor's kiss is more suitable for you?"

Black shuddered violently. The dementor's influence was not so easy to undo.He looked at his friend. "Severus is believable," Lupine replied.He looked at his godson whom he had only just met. Two of the three little lions looked at him wishing they could disappear, and one looked at the cat with surprise in their eyes, but none of them responded to him.He bowed his head in frustration, "Okay." He said sullenly.

"A Binding Charm," Snape said, raising his wand - recalling it as soon as he woke up. "A fugitive deserves treatment." He emphasized the word "fugitive".

Black looked like he was about to pounce, and Lupine held him back. "Sirius," he called.He knew that they were not Snape's opponents. In the past four against one, they were only evenly matched. Now there is only Sirius who is half-disabled, and himself who may transform at any time cannot be counted as help at all.Besides...the sooner they think about sending them away, the better. "I'll do it," he said to the others.

Using Transfiguration to conjure a pair of handcuffs, one end bound Black's wrist, and the other end bound Peter Pettigrew, who had passed out in a coma.He conjured up two more sets of handcuffs, the clothes linked Black and Harry, and one handcuffed Peter and the Weasley family's youngest son together.

Snape let out a snort of disapproval. He didn't think such restraints would be enough.But he didn't raise any further objections, trusting himself to handle any contingencies these idiots could throw up.But now, it's better to leave here early, he has already seen a few rays of moonlight leaking from the cracks in the windows that were not nailed tightly.

Harry headed into the tunnel, and Hermione helped Ron - whose leg was bitten by Black's dog.Crookshanks rushed forward to clear the way, he was going to press the knot - he did not know that the willow tree was nailed dead.

Snape and Minato walked last, on the one hand beware of the werewolves who might go crazy, on the other hand they exchanged some information.Watergate told him there was a Potter and a Granger on the road outside, and Snape told him that meeting his past self was very dangerous, and warned him not to think about time-turners; Watergate told him that those two were unregistered Animagus, Snape said that Gryffindor has always been proud of breaking the rules; Watergate told him that he had placed an enchantment near the tree hole, Snape said he was unnecessary, Watergate said it was his intuition, Feeling it might be useful, Snape taunted him that the Malfoys had no prophetic blood; Watergate told him...

The exit came soon, and a group of people got out one by one, letting out a sigh of relief.Crookshanks squatted aside, staring at the knot strangely - the one it wanted to press with its furry paws, but now there was an inconspicuous toothpick sticking to it.

It was quite dark now, and they walked quickly across the grounds, towards the castle.
