Sirius Black stepped into his brother's special care room on time at eight o'clock in the evening, bringing a new book with him.
This has become an old habit. Ever since he regained his brother, he has been visiting the frozen rugulus every day when he was able to walk. Sirius read him every book he might like, read him letters from Harry, and complained that their nephew seemed to be bullying Harry all the time. Lucius's hairline was receding again, and he cursed him for losing half of it next year. Hair... In short, as if Rugulus could hear it, Sirius went to his special care room at the same time as he had three meals a day and late night snacks, regardless of the look of condemnation Lupin gave him - the look that accused him of disturbing others.
But today's steps are different, and what he wants to talk about is also different. The newspaper in his hand proves this, which is why he came to visit at eight o'clock.
"Cissy?" He greeted with a smile first, then frowned slightly and looked at his sister standing beside Rugulus' bed, "You don't usually come here at this time - is it because of Bella?"
His second cousin has followed his own path, which is very bad news for Sirius Black. If Narcissa wants to come to him for discussion because of this, it is very reasonable.
The blond woman pursed her lips tightly without saying a word, and slowly turned around under the sharp chuckle from behind - leaning against her slender waist was a wand that glowed with dangerous red light.
The blond nurse who had been holding it and standing behind the distinguished Mrs. Malfoy showed a sweet and creepy smile to Sirius Black, whose smile gradually faded and whose pupils shrank to a point in shock.
Just with the addition of such a smile, the already pale ward filled with cold wind became even more terrifying.
"I think since we haven't seen each other for a long time, we should have a good talk, right? My dear cousin, our bravest little Sirius?"
What she said was so sweet, but the tip of the wand showed no intention of moving away from Narcissa's waist.
"...bella." Sirius said with a gloomy face, "You are crazy, this is St. Mungo's!" While saying this, a tip of the wand quietly slipped out of his sleeve.
"I think you'd better give up some... unfriendly actions, you know," the woman, who was undoubtedly the freshest fugitive, the craziest woman, strangled Narcissa's neck fiercely, "your sister doesn't want me to Came to visit you two brothers... But just when she was arguing with me, we discovered something. Maybe there is something here that can make us both happy."
Bellatrix opened and closed her mouth, and after just one sentence, Sirius had to grit his teeth and back away slowly. He looked at Narcissa carefully and carefully, with questioning and fear in her eyes, but his sister nodded palely, even though the movement was extremely small, because she was not willing to do it at all.
But this also proves that it is true. Sirius had to slowly put down the wand, with a livid face, and threw it far away as Bellatrix asked. Seeing how he had to give in, Narcissa's face became paler. She pursed her lips repeatedly, her blue eyes slowly becoming moist, and the hand hanging by her side firmly grasped her dark red long hair. skirt.
She never thought that this day would come - she herself would actually become a hostage of sufficient weight. The object of threat was no one else. She had spent a lot of effort to save it. The last one in her family could give birth. The male wizard who gave birth to an heir, his own cousin.
And she clearly understood: in such a rare opportunity, Bellatrix would not let Sirius go.
"Not bad, very well-behaved, great, Sirius!" Bellatrix shouted excitedly after seeing that the wand was still far away, she laughed loudly, "It seems that you have a little bit better after coming out of Azkaban. The concept of family, this deserves to be rewarded——"
Her arms were still tightly strangling Narcissa's neck, but the wand she was holding suddenly turned to point at Sirius, and a vicious spell came out of her gorgeous red lips.
"——Heart-breaking and bone-cutting!!"
………………
"Bang bang, bang bang! Bang bang bang!!"
Harry was disturbed by an urgent knock on the window. He had just finished brewing the potion for Wanda and was about to review his homework, but who could have known that an owl would knock on his window at this time?
Ah, no, that's not an owl. Harry thought this and opened the window: "What's wrong - ah, I know you are in a hurry, but let's talk about the important thing first - has Draco written to me again?"
The golden eagle shook its head in a humane manner, flapped its wings and made an urgent cry. If it were a human now, Harry would probably have understood the cause and effect.
but--
——Fortunately, even if it is not human, Harry can still find a way.
"Wait, wait a minute, hey, I told you to wait a minute -" While avoiding the harassment of the golden eagle, Harry took out the brooch given to him by Nina from the drawer next to him, held it in his hand and then signaled to the golden eagle. Diao: "Okay, you start from the beginning...if you really have something you want to tell me."
Animals have always had wills, souls, and personalities. Although this statement is not very common now, to Harry, animals have always been more alert and smarter than humans. Therefore, when he understood that the golden eagle was not here to deliver anything, he understood that this was probably its spontaneous behavior as a demon pet.
Harry listened intently to the golden eagle's louder call, his expression and mood gradually became heavy. When he heard the important part, he stood upright and took a big breath. He couldn't believe himself. Ear: "What did you say? You--are you serious?!"
The golden eagle nodded sharply, and Harry, who got the affirmative answer, took another breath of air and almost screamed, but luckily he controlled his mouth. Then he didn't care that the golden eagle was still there, and directly pulled out his wizard robe and winter clothes from the closet and started to change clothes.
"I can't wait any longer. I'm going to St. Mungo's now to check on the situation... Well, you bring a letter to Draco for me, so can you stop on my window sill for now? Is it okay to nod? Good boy. "Harry pulled out the chair, sat down and pulled out a piece of paper. He didn't even use parchment or quills. He only used a black water-based pen and started writing a letter. Although Draco has higher requirements in this regard, the matter is so urgent. He couldn't care so much anymore.
"What happened."
When Wanda, who was wearing a red woolen coat, walked in, Harry was holding the wand and was about to start transferring. When he heard her speak, he could only smile awkwardly: "I... go back to school."
Wanda raised an eyebrow: "Whose bird is sitting on your window sill? It's nine o'clock in the evening, and it's at least early morning in the UK. If you go back now, you can only go back to school and sleep."
Harry laughed three times. He understood that if he didn't explain clearly, Wanda would not let him go. Compared with Peter, who looks similar to Erik, Wanda and Erik are similar in temperament. In other words, if he doesn't recognize him, he will not let him go. If he gave her a serious explanation, Harry would be surrounded by the whole family in the next second.
"Bellatrix took Draco's mother hostage. They wanted to unfreeze Uncle Regulus, and they have gone to St. Mungo's - the hospital." Harry said honestly, "I want to go see the situation."
"But you don't want to tell Charles." Wanda was first surprised by this passage - a criminal held a mother hostage, and they were said to be biological sisters, but then she realized what Harry was going to do, so she said this He said, "You want to go secretly."
Harry shrugged and lowered his head in embarrassment: "After all, this is...well, a wizard's thing. And dad is already asleep, and I don't want to wake him up - I just have a look, and it won't take more than half the time." hours.”
"I'll go with you." Wanda asked after a slight pause.
"Eh?"
"You are going to a place with murderers. Maybe you think you can escape safely, but I can't let you go by yourself. I will go with you, or I will call Charles." The eldest girl in the family She threatened calmly. Although she had not been here long, she clearly knew who was the biggest and most difficult to deal with in this family, "You know the consequences."
"..."
After hesitating for less than three seconds, Harry gave in. He stretched out his arm and motioned for Wanda to take his hand. The latter smiled slightly, took his shoulder, and with just a snap, they disappeared together.
The golden eagle parked on the window sill flapped its wings, lowered its head to confirm that the letter had been tied, and then took off, heading towards its destination and its little master.
…………
Most of the lights in St. Mungo's have been turned off. There is only one window in the lobby on the first floor with a person on duty. An automatic recording quill is swinging next to him, writing something from time to time. Occasionally there are one or two nurses pushing it. The car shuttled through the hall, the wands in their hands lit up a little - they were all caring for the night patients.
Harry landed in an inconspicuous corner of the hall with Wanda. To be on the safe side, he turned himself into Raven, so when the wizard on duty looked up, he saw two beautiful girls walking towards him.
"Oh," he said with a smile, "Good evening, ladies—can you help me with anything?"
"We want to know if Mr. Sirius Black is in his ward now." Wanda said.
"Mr. Lupin entrusted us to visit him." Harry said nervously. He thought of an excuse on the way. Remus was a good excuse. Everyone at St. Mungo's knew that he was Sirius's caregiver, and today happened to be Remus wouldn't be here on a full moon.
The wizard on duty grinned: "It's half past two in the morning, ladies, it's time for all wizards to go to bed."
"I heard they were worried that he would go out to the bar in the middle of the night." Harry said quickly, "He is not a very peaceful person. You know, he-"
"Oh, I know, I know. Every wizard wants a glass of firewhiskey when he can't sleep. Of course I understand." The wizard on duty said, knocking a golden bell in front of him with his wand, and then pointed at himself The throat said, "Hey, everyone is fine, go and see if our hero Mr. Black is sleeping well in bed-"
"I can answer this question for you now." A wizard wearing an intern's robe walked out of the employee-only door behind him. "I just examined him and sent him a healing potion."
The wizard wearing a trainee wizard's robe smiled politely at Harry and Wanda: "But we generally don't recommend visiting patients at this time - but he is indeed not asleep. Ladies, do you want to go up and visit him?"
Wanda's sleeves suddenly tightened. She frowned calmly and felt Harry nervously grabbing her sleeves, his voice trembling strangely: "No... no need..."
"Very good - we still have things to do, thank you very much." Wanda finished for him neatly, and neatly pulled Harry out of the hall of St. Mungo's.
The night was not cold, but Wanda could feel Harry's whole body shaking.
"What's wrong?" Wanda asked with concern as she bent down to look at Harry's face with his head lowered.
"...Sirius was caught." Harry took a deep breath to adjust his mentality, but his limbs were still cold and his hands and feet were trembling. "I heard it - that person just now was not a wizard from St. Mungo's at all, Wanda..."
"Have you seen his head?" Wanda frowned. If the criminal has a key hostage, this matter will be very serious and troublesome. Not to mention, this hostage is Harry's godfather. Even if he comes late, she I also heard the man’s name, “Did you use your ability?”
"There is a bottle in his pocket, and it contains polyjuice potion! That's... that's a magic potion that makes people look like another person!" Harry said, "I was just... but my abilities were out of control. , I just heard him thinking he was running out of Polyjuice Potion in his pocket, but no one uses Polyjuice Potion at St. Mungo's!"
Wanda understands - only people who cannot be seen in person will use Polyjuice Potion.
And Harry used his ability because of this.
"He is not St. Mungory's wizard," Harry held onto Wanda's arm tightly, trying not to let his tears fall, "He is Rodolphus Lestrange!"
He recalled what he saw in the mind of that damn fake trainee wizard, and felt extremely painful. He gritted his teeth and said, "He didn't go to deliver healing medicine to Sirius at all... He just went to torture Sirius." !After his wife! I simply, simply can’t imagine that they are obviously relatives——”
"Shh." Wanda covered his mouth, "Your voice is too loud - he is still in there, you can't let him hear it." She made a decisive decision, "Let's go back first."
"But Sirius—"
"Do you want him to worry about one more person? When his sister has been kidnapped? Are you really confident that you can escape the attacks of two adult murderers?" Wanda asked calmly, looking at Harry with her dark green eyes. Those emerald green ones.
Harry was speechless.
"So let's go first." Wanda said, looking at the boy's face that was about to cry, without wavering at all, "This requires a plan - I think they think so too."
