Chapter 141: Crookshanks and the New Password

Evan, Harry and Hermione stepped out of the Great Hall. Actually, there was no crazy axe killer in the hallway.

Professor Trelawney and Ron disappeared around the corner. She went in the direction of the basement, while he followed the stairs back to the Gryffindor Tower.

“We'd better hurry up!” Evan said hurriedly, he noticed that the stairs leading to the second floor were moving.

The three of them were just one step too late. When they arrived, the stairs had already moved a...

Chapter 140: Sybill Patricia Trelawney

Just as Evan, Harry, Hermione and Hagrid were talking about Azkaban; the Hall’s door was opened again.

Professor Trelawney came in and she glided over to everyone, as if she was on roller skates.

She wore a green dress decorated with metal round discs, making her look more like a shiny oversized dragonfly.

“Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen!” said Professor Trelawney, using her most misty, ethereal voice. “I have been looking at my crystal ball in the tower. To my surpri...

Chapter 139: Unhappy Lunch

Evan, Harry, and Hermione left the school hospital. When they arrived at the Great Hall, they found that the long tables used by the four Houses were moved to the wall. Only one square table four twenty people, was available in the center of the room. Those who decided to spend the Christmas holidays in the castle this year were sitting around the table. 

 Evan did not see Dumbledore. His seat was empty. 

Apart from him, Professor McGonagall, Snape, Flitwick, and Hagrid we...

Chapter 138: Plan Begins

"Don’t make up excuses for that guy, Hermione!" Harry shouted. He felt a blaze of anger burning in his chest. "I've seen it long ago. Like Sirius Black, he used to be my father's best friend, he is still my godfather, but who could have thought that in the end he would sell my parents out to Voldemort? Ron and Black are the same, I always thought Ron was my best friend, but he betrayed me last night and betrayed Professor Lupin!"

Because he was too agitated, Harry’s body was trembling all ...

Chapter 137: Howlers to the Headmaster

Because of Professor Lupin’s issue, the mood in the castle was gloomy.

Evan didn't know how many other people couldn’t sleep on that night. Anyway, he didn’t get good sleep himself.

Hermione who was lying in her bed beside him seemed to be the same. She kept turning all night worrying about Lupin and Ron.

In the second half of the night, Evan was awakened by a nightmare again.

He sat up in the middle of his bed, and through the dim candlelight in the hallway, he stared ...

Chapter 136: Dumbledore’s Expectations

The room suddenly quieted down, and the figures on the walls opened their eyes to check what was going on.

Evan and Dumbledore sat silently at the ends of the table, neither of them spoke.

Dumbledore closed his eyes and no one could figure out what he was thinking; Evan looked like he was staring at the curious silver instruments on the table that were emitting little puffs of smoke.

But in fact, he was thinking about Peter Pettigrew. Peter was in Hogwarts. With Harry's father Jame...

Chapter 135: The Sorting Hat Is Never Wrong

Professor McGonagall took Hermione back to the school hospital, and Evan walked into Dumbledore’s office alone.

Like last year, the Headmaster’s office was very interesting. Fawkes, the phoenix looked at him graciously. A table not far was full of magical props, and Evan had no idea what they were for. The curious silver instruments were whirring and emitting little puffs of smoke.

Before coming in, Evan heard voices in the office. It was a heating discussion about...

Chapter 134: The Departure of Professor Lupin

Lupin did not look back. He knew that Harry, Evan, Hermione and other children must be looking at him.

All he could do was holding his tears.

Legend has it that the ferocious and terrifying werewolves can only get endless bleakness and inarticulate desolation.

Everyone looked at the lonely figure of Professor Lupin, and many of them cried.

Evan couldn’t dare move as Hermione and Ginny were crying over his shoulders.

Although he knew that Professor Lupin should be fine...

Chapter 133: Wings of a Butterfly

Ron's behavior this evening has been extremely bizarre. Evan has had this feeling about him before.

In the Gryffindor Common room last year, something similar happened!

Evan was almost certain that Ron must be under the Imperius Curse, he was controlled to frame Professor Lupin.

Evan intended to tell the matter out. Dumbledore was there. He could check it and find out whether what Ron said was from his own will or not. 

He didn’t expect that his exposure of the possibl...

Chapter 132: Ron's Accusations

The students lined up and came forward to embrace Professor Lupin. Everyone embraced the werewolf.

Such a seemingly simple action did not just represent their great courage; it also was a sign of trust.

They whispered to Professor Lupin and spoke words from the depths of their hearts. Many students were moved bursting into tears.

Only Ron and Slytherin students stood still giving the cold shoulder as if they had nothing to do with them.

"This is moving and all, but what does ...

Chapter 131: Girls’ Minds

"Only people who are truly intelligent can make the right choice!" As soon as Malfoy finished his words, a squeaky voice came from within the Ravenclaw crowd.

Evan’s heart moved. Of all the people he knew, there was only one who would talk like this.

He saw a pretty girl with straggly, waist-length, blonde hair walking out of the crowd. She was wearing a Ravenclaw coat, and a pair of eye-catching radish earring on her ears, and indescribably quirky temperament.

It was Luna!　　...

Chapter 130: Not the Usual Ron

In the crowd, Fred and George looked at each other, and a smile appeared at the corner of their mouths.

Next thing you know, the two went straight to Professor Lupin relaxed.

"You look so handsome, Professor!" Fred walked over and embraced him.

"Yes, this is the best disguise I’ve ever seen on you!" George also followed and hugged Lupin.

Fred and George laughed as if they were attending a masquerade party. The two people had a few good jokes with Lupin an...

Chapter 129: Bravery

All the young wizards held their breath, and their eyes focused on Evan who was being hugged tightly by the werewolf.

It appeared on their faces that they suspected  that this thin boy might be bitten at any time by the ferocious werewolf.

But that did not happen, and Evan was calm as if there was nothing to be afraid of.

On the flipside, the werewolf who was clinging to him wept as in whisper. Everyone saw the horrifying wolf’s face soaked in tears.

After Evan, Harry ...

Chapter 128: Warmth of Trust

"I believe he is safe. He could not attack anyone!"

Evan’s voice was not loud, but it was heard clearly by everyone in the silent office.

Everyone turned their heads and looked at Evan in surprise. He instantly became the focus of all the students and Professors in the school. Under everyone's gaze, Evan walked through the crowd, and all the young wizards opened the way for him.

"Evan!" Harry shouted in surprise.

Evan nodded and went to stand beside him. His eyes looked acr...

Chapter 127: I Believe in Him

Harry's eyes looked over Professor Lupin's shoulders. He saw hundreds of spells flying at the same time toward him. It looked spectacular.

As the spells drew closer, Harry stared in horror and looked pale.

Before this, he had never faced so many curses.

He was very scared, but as he saw Professor Lupin standing in front of him gazing at him gently and calmly, courage suddenly rose from within his heart. The oppressive feeling of fear brought by the hundreds of spells faded. Harry s...

Chapter 126: Covered Conspiracy

Professor Lupin, who had been holding his head huddled, arose painfully and stood there alone and miserable.

His eyes wandered between all of them, to finally land on Harry again.

He seemed to be looking for a place to hide, but Ron took the opportunity to cast another spell. Professor Lupin howled measurably and avoided his attack.

"What the hell are you doing, Ron?!" Harry shouted angrily. "Stop attacking. He is Professor Lupin. He is not dangerous!"

"Get...

Chapter 125: Tears of the Werewolf

Harry had enough; he didn't want to play with Malfoy anymore.

He was ready to go to the school Hospital to look for Evan and Hermione to check out on their injuries.

“By the way, I have to find Ron; I haven’t seen him since we split up in the morning.”

Ron certainly doesn’t know that Evan and Hermione were attacked by a werewolf. Harry thought he should deliver the news to him, and they could all discuss the matter of Sirius Black together.

Yet, he stopped in his trac...

Chapter 124: Anomalous Slytherin

It was the owls that calmed down the young wizards. In the blink of an eye, over a hundred owls streamed into the Great Hall, and circled over it hooting.

It was just like the daily morning owl shower, but even more spectacular.

In fact, it was dinner time. How could there be so many people writing at such a time? Furthermore, the day after was the first day of the Christmas Holiday. Almost all the young wizards were going back to their homes. No matter how they looked...

Chapter123: Hard Time

For the first time, Harry knew that Black actually used to be his father’s best friend during his lifetime.

Before now, Dumbledore, Hagrid, Mr. Weasley, Cornelius Fudge… none of them had ever mentioned the fact that Harry’s parents had died because their best friend had betrayed them.

Harry felt most angry thinking that his parents probably did not believe until they died that it was actually their best friend who betrayed them.

He tried to imagine their feeling. If Evan, Ron...

Chapter 122: Werewolf Riot

Evan suddenly realized that the one who was paying Greyback and his companion was none other than Lucius Malfoy.

As a former Death Eater, Lucius surely knew those guys, and only he had enough money to summon them.

The question now is, what does he want to do?

Evan couldn't see how this could ever be good for the Malfoy family. If it was ever discovered that he was the puppeteer behind the scenes, Lucius would be in great trouble.

“There’s something wrong, there must be so...

Chapter 121: Lucius’ Plot　

For a while, no one spoke, the corridor was very quiet, and Evan thought they had already left.

Then, he heard a sound again. It was Hagrid's resonant, loud cry.

"Keep it down, Hagrid, you will wake up the two children inside" Professor McGonagall said sternly. "I know you are worried about them, but can you please calm down for a moment? It’s been an hour since we came back from Hogsmeade, and you’re still crying!”

Hagrid wiped his tears with his large han...

Chapter 120: Werewolf vs. Dog

Just when both were in despair, thinking that everything was coming to an end, Evan saw a black dog, huge like a bear, emerging suddenly from the side alley.

It was Sirius Black who swung fiercely on the werewolf’s body from the side.

The two men rolled over to the side of the snow. Black caught the werewolf's neck and pulled it back, keeping him away from Evan and Hermione.

Greyback was madly clawing and trying to tear up the big black dog.

The werewolf ...

Chapter 119: Hermione's Decision

Evan's wand emitted a blue light, dark blue like the sea!

Greyback, who was about to chomp Evan’s neck, suddenly froze. The horrible wolf’s face, in addition to the madness, revealed a look of fear for the first time. He felt the threat of death from Evan’s curse.

He retreated. Although he was in his transformation, without any glimpse of reason, but instinct told him that he should not be hit by that spell.

He wanted to run away, but he was too close to Ev...

Chapter 118: Battle with the Werewolf

Hermione rushed into the shop, and it was empty.

The room was very dark, and Crookshanks jumped to the counter between two thin candles burning half-half. Their light was dim in the dark room.

Next to the candles, there was a cup of coffee that was still steaming hot. The chair in front of the counter was on its back, and a few newspapers were scattered on the ground. That all told, without words, about the haste of the owner's departure.

"Come in, Evan!" Hermion...

Chapter 117: Evan’s Fear

Seeing that his companion wasn’t able to get time to undo Evan’s spell, Greyback, who had fallen to the ground, suddenly made a screeching roar. His voice was so loud that it shook the clouds in the sky. A huge full moon appeared from behind them.

In the moonlight, his body started to change.

The sturdy shoulders were hunching, and black hair was sprouting visibly on his face and hands, and the dirty fingers curled into sharp claws. 

Crookshanks cried un...

Chapter 116: Fenrir Greyback

"Damn, you dare to attack me. I so want to tear your throats off, they look so tasty! The boy can make for a nice supper, and the girl can be the sweet dessert!"

He raised his filthy hand to wipe the bloodstain off his forehead. He then stuck out his tongue and licked the blood off of the back of his hand, slowly, gently, disgustingly. His face showed that he was still craving more.

Seeing that, Hermione’s  little face turned pale.

She hurriedly pulled out her wand and appro...

Chapter 115: Darkness Falls

Before the Hogsmeade Owl Post Office, Evan successfully persuaded Hermione and told her about his plans for tomorrow night.

It was still too early to return to school. He had planned to take Hermione back to Madam Puddifoot’s Tea Shop and finish what he had started.

The atmosphere there is very good; perhaps he can also take the opportunity to make his declaration.

But Hermione didn't give him any more chances, she kept avoiding going to that place. Whenever Ev...

Chapter 114: Lucius Christmas Gift

While that was happening, the atmosphere in Malfoy Manor in Wiltshire, England, was tense.

All the House-Elves in the manor were very careful. They looked at the master’s drawing room’s door in horror, and did not dare to make any sound; fearing that it would disturb their master.

The drawing room is a spacious circular room with a luxurious interior.

In it, there was luxurious furniture, dark green and silver-white in color. It was beautifully organized arou...

Chapter 113: Convincing Hermione

"You guessed it right, Hermione!" said Evan suddenly. "The dog was indeed Sirius Black. Like you thought, he is an Animagus."

"What did you say?!" Hermione did not respond, as if she were still digesting the news.

She looked up and saw that Evan was looking at her seriously, not looking one bit like he was joking.

"I said that the big black dog was Sirius Black!"

“Oh my God, I knew it! Incredible, Black was just in front of us!” Hermione’s eyes widened and she said in h...

Chapter 112: Better Be Honest

Sirius Black vowed that he would never underestimate children again.

Although this young brunette was only 13 years old and looked vulnerable, she was definitely smarter and sharper than most adult wizards.

Black originally wanted to use Hermione’s presence to embarrass Evan a bit. Who would have thought that coming out shaking his tail would do nothing but expose his identity?

He realized that the joke that he made, was actually on him.

When hearing Hermione’s words, Sir...
