The Pacifist Necromancer of Hogwarts

I have an exam tomorrow, but I can’t finish my review, so I’ll take a leave of absence.

——Bedtime story as usual——

Harry yawned, changed into his pajamas, and climbed into his four-poster bed. Ron was waiting for him, sitting on the edge of the bed, staring blankly in the moonlight.

What's wrong? Harry asked sleepily.

Ron lowered his voice: When I came back from Filch's confinement, I saw Anthony's bunch of strange pets walking by the Black Lake.

Professor Anthony seems to like walking there too, Harry said.

They were followed by a big black dog.

Harry suddenly woke up and sat up: Sirius?

I don't know. Ron whispered, as if he still didn't understand what he saw. The dog was blocking them, as if they weren't allowed to go anywhere. Anthony's cat seemed to dislike the dog very much, and rushed at them. The dog hissed. Then Hermione's Crookshanks ran out and got between the black dog and the cat. After Anthony's pets left, the black dog began to roll on the lawn, Crookshanks. Licking next to you.

Harry fell silent.

Sirius can't roll, can he? Ron asked. He had not seen Sirius' Animagus yet, but had only heard Harry mention that it was a big black dog.

No...he won't, Harry said, throwing the memory of Sirius wagging his tail around him into a drawer and locking it.

Ron sounded relieved and slipped into bed: Let me just say...his motorcycle is really handsome...

I'll convince him to let us ride next time, Harry promised, lying down as well. Before closing his eyes, he thought vaguely that Sirius must be preparing some surprise for him again.

Just like that, he fell asleep.

Sirius was lying on the lawn with his nose pointed in the direction of Hogwarts Castle, eagerly waiting to watch Harry's Quidditch practice tomorrow morning. He will definitely be able to catch up this time... The boy named Wood is really the earliest Quidditch captain he has ever seen...

Sirius also fell asleep amidst the sound of the waves in the black lake.

Good news: Passed the exam!

Sad news: working overtime.
