"Sirius is your godfather?"
Several people were shocked.
Eli shrugged, "Yes, always."
Several people looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
You can't congratulate someone else's godfather on his successful escape from prison.
"I heard from dad that he is... a very brutal murderer..."
Mr. Weasley works in the Ministry of Magic, so he can naturally get more information.
Although he didn't know the truth back then, he was very knowledgeable about some information within the Ministry of Magic.
Because of Sirius's escape from prison, the Ministry of Magic even sent Aurors to patrol near Eli's house in order to prevent Sirius from finding Harry and Eli.
It would be false to say how worried they were about Harry's life and safety. They were just irreversible about Sirius's escape from prison, and now they could only try their best to prevent more terrible things from happening, otherwise Fudge could take the blame and resign.
You know, since Azkaban was established as a wizard prison, almost no prisoners have escaped.
This happened during Fudge's tenure. The key was that he would not be able to capture Sirius for a while.
This put Fudge under great pressure.
He had completely offended Dumbledore before and failed to get things done with the pure-blood family he had promised. Now if he makes one wrong move, the position of Minister of Magic can be replaced immediately.
Fudge was terrified at the thought of his possible resignation.
He has worked hard to climb to this position. He is not afraid of being scolded. As long as he can sit firmly on the minister's throne, he can do anything.
"Actually, there is some uncertainty about what happened at the time. I heard my father say that the incident was too big at that time. The Muggle government was constantly putting pressure on the Ministry of Magic. The then Minister Millicent Barnold Black was directly convicted and imprisoned using thunderous means. At that time, many people did not believe that Black was the murderer."
Draco tried to smooth things over, but what he said was indeed the truth.
Millicent Barnold, the Minister of Magic at the time, was very resourceful and very good at dealing with political events.
The original incident had a huge impact. She didn't care who the murderer was, she just wanted to find someone to take the blame quickly.
Many people at that time acquiesced in such behavior, but doubts always existed, but no one cared.
Although Harry was somewhat hostile to Sirius Black now, after Eli's explanation, he was not so eager to kill him.
Now that Draco had also said that there was something fishy about the matter, Harry felt better.
Professor Flitwick directed the choir to finish singing a pretty good song, and the auditorium burst into warm applause.
Professor McGonagall seemed to be in a very good mood, mainly because there was no fancy singing of the school song by the Weasley twins this time.
The school song of Hogwarts never has a fixed tune. It is always sung by everyone under the command of Dumbledore with their own favorite tune.
This gives the Weasley twins a lot of room to play.
Ever since they entered school, this song has never been normal.
Professor McGonagall's face became worse and worse every year.
And since Eli entered school, another talented guy has joined the singing army.
Eli just finished singing the school song "Two Springs Reflect the Moon" with his erhu.
This time, Professor Flitwick finally took charge of the rehearsal and gave a very elegant choral performance.
Professor McGonagall said, isn't this better than what those guys sang?
Eli looked regretful, alas, he was ready to sing a song this time.
There were quite a few surprises at this opening ceremony.
In addition to the new Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor for the year, our gamekeeper Rubeus Hagrid has been promoted to Professor of Magical Zoology.
Hagrid was very popular in the school due to his loyalty. No, as soon as Dumbledore announced this, the auditorium immediately burst into warm applause.
Especially in Gryffindor, these naughty little lions often have to deal with Hagrid.
On the Slytherin side, Eli and Draco were the most enthusiastic.
Draco had a very good relationship with Hagrid because of raising dragons, and he also admired Hagrid's views on dragons.
Hagrid, who became a professor for the first time, just clapped stupidly along with everyone else.
Professor McGonagall patted him and asked him to stand up and say hello to everyone.
As a result, this stupid guy lifted the table all the way up, and the applause became even more enthusiastic.
Professor McGonagall pulled a few times before the giggling Hagrid sat down.
Hagrid smiled like a half-ton fat man.
In the professor's seat, Professor Lu Ping looked very polite. Everyone looked at this new teacher and thought he seemed pretty good.
Eli still remembered Lupine saying he wanted to talk to him.
I think it must be because of the dementors.
Dementors are basically immune to physical attacks, and only the Patronus Charm can kill them.
Eli's behavior on the train was really like wiping his butt with gauze - exposing Lupine.
Eli was also confused, as the Dementor's attacks seemed to have no effect on him.
At that time, except that the air temperature was very cold, he no longer felt any sadness.
Moreover, he can also attack Dementors and even render Dementors unable to fight back.
This is simply not something humans can do.
Besides the dementors, Eli was still thinking about Sirius.
Since the Dementors entered the Hogwarts Express with such fanfare to search, Black must have been hiding nearby or in the car.
I don't know when Sirius will show up.
Eli still wanted to find him early, catch Peter early, and clear Sirius's name.
However, for several days, there was no sign of Blake at all.
Dementors entered Hogwarts, which made Dumbledore very unhappy.
The students are also trembling with fear. Now they are afraid of encountering running dementors when they go to school.
Now, there is a dementor guarding the gate of Hogwarts.
"What are you looking at? I'll blow your eyes out!"
Eli pointed at the Dementor and yelled.
The dementor couldn't figure out what this gadget wanted to do for a while, and seemed stupid.
"Come here, I'll show you a baby."
Eli waved to it.
I don't know whether he listened to Eli's words or simply wanted to suck the soul, but the dementors approached Eli directly.
As soon as the Dementor got closer, Eli could see the extremely ugly mouth under the robe.
"Bring it to you!"
Eli grabbed the Dementor's head with one hand and gave it a good beating.
After a while, the dementors didn't dare to resist.
boom!
Eli took out a box from the traceless stretch bag and placed it on the ground.
Opening the box, Eli ignored the struggling Dementor and kicked the unlucky Dementor into the box.
When no one was around, Eli packed up the box and ran away.
He had wanted to study Dementors for a long time, and it would be a good idea to use this thing for Harry and the others to practice the Patronus Charm.
