HP: I’m working on redemption at Hogwarts

A big event happened in Hogwarts recently. Even under the patrols of so many annoying dementors, the criminals Sirius and Peter Pettigrew still appeared in the castle.

The portrait of the Fat Lady of Gryffindor was torn to pieces by the sharp claws of a wolf or a dog. The poor Fat Lady could only hide in other portraits and struggle to survive.

"Merlin, it's so scary! That beast chased a mouse past my door like this. He must be demonstrating. This is a naked intimidation!"

The Fat Lady held the sheep in the portrait to cover her damaged lower body. She looked terrified, twisted her whole face and howled loudly at Professor Dumbledore.

"Looks like it's Sirius and Peter Pettigrew!"

Hermione held the book, found the newspaper in which Peter Pettigrew was arrested, and handed it to Harry and Ron. It vividly described Peter Pettigrew hiding in the wizarding world as a smelly mouse for 12 years without being discovered...

"And this claw, it looks like it was left by a canine animal..."

"That's Sirius Black's Animagus!"

Harry took over Hermione's unfinished words, and all three of them had expressions of shock and fear.

"Hey, then they must be here for you, Harry!"

Ron began to bite his fingers nervously and looked at Harry with worried eyes.

……

Principal Dumbledore believed that it was absolutely unsafe to continue like this, so all the students in Hogwarts walked out of the lounges of their respective houses and lined up in the hall.

"Oh, god! Are they serious? The dementors have already made me feel so confused, and now they don't even give me a chance to sleep in a warm bed..."

Marietta, hugging her pillow, walked slowly down the stairs at the end of the line.

Qiu Zhang just shook his head helplessly and looked at Marietta's gentle words of comfort.

"Looking on the bright side, at least I won't have to worry about wanted criminals and monsters when I sleep with everyone!"

But...obviously, it's of no use at all.

Qiu Zhang's heart-warming comfort was not even as useful as Luke's muttering disgusting words while holding Marietta in his arms.

Seeing Marietta leaning on Luke's chest and letting out a satisfied laugh, Qiu Zhang was really speechless and made a dissatisfied tut...

"Go find your badger boyfriend!"

"Cough cough!"

Qiu Zhang was choked all of a sudden. Seeing the teasing and joking expressions of the young couple, his face suddenly turned red and he turned his head to stop looking at them.

……

In the hall, I don't know what kind of magic has been cast on it, but it feels several times larger than before. The four colleges are divided into two rows with floor tiles on both sides of the wall.

Next to Ravenclaw was Hufflepuff, and Marietta deliberately pulled Cho Chang to sleep at the junction of the two college beds, which happened to be Cedric's bed next to her.

"Qiu...hi!"

I don’t know if it’s the darkness of the night, or maybe it’s the hazy halo under the dim light that makes Cedric look even more handsome.

Qiu Zhang looked away awkwardly and coughed, apologizing for his random thoughts.

"Hi! Seid..."

Qiu Zhang did not look at Cedric, but lowered his head to respond to him. Naturally, he did not see Cedric's affectionate eyes, which carried sincere and undisguised love.

……

As the dark iron gates of the castle creaked with various mechanisms, they were slowly locked, causing the doors and windows of the entire Hogwarts Castle to be closed.

The lights in the entire castle were dimmed, and all the students at Hogwarts gathered together and lay quietly on the floor in the hall and slowly fell into a deep sleep.

Qiu Zhang closed his eyes, and his hands were casually hanging on his sides, but they happened to touch the warm palms of Cedric on the floor next to him. There were ripples in his heart, and his heartbeat was inexplicably faster.

Unexpectedly, it was Cedric who took the initiative to reach out and hold Qiu Zhang's cold little hand, intertwined his fingers, and put it into the bed.

Qiu Zhang only felt that his naturally cold palms were warmed by Cedric's cover. This warmth seemed to spread all over his body along his palms, and even his heart was scratched by a burning heat, and there was an inexplicable throbbing.

"Would it be warmer?"

Cedric asked in a gentle tone. Qiu Zhang was stunned and shook his head blankly. His eyes met his eyes unexpectedly. His mind went blank. He stared for a long time, which made Cedric feel a little embarrassed.

"What's wrong?"

The corner of Cedric's mouth raised into a gentle smile, and his eyebrows raised in a tentative inquiry. Qiu Zhang came back to his senses, immediately shook his head wildly, closed his eyes and turned over to face Marietta, pretending to be asleep.

"Nothing, just go to sleep!"

……

After several days of this, the students at Hogwarts all slept on bunks in the hall every night under the guidance of their professors. Even if they could bear it mentally, their bodies couldn't.

Marietta hunched over and walked heavily toward the History of Magic classroom step by step like a zombie. As soon as she entered the room, she couldn't help but lay down on the table and began to fall asleep.

"Is that an exaggeration?"

Qiu Zhang looked at Marietta who fell asleep for a second, and then at Professor Pingsi who was drowsily lecturing on the stage. He couldn't help but widen his eyes in shock.

"You don't know that she has never known a bed, and she has to sleep on the hard floor for so many days. I'm afraid she won't be able to fall asleep without the voice of Professor Binns..."

Luke shrugged helplessly, took off his robe and put it on Marietta's back, trying to wrap it around Marietta so that she could sleep better.

Qiuchang could only sigh helplessly and tried to concentrate on listening to the lecture while helping Marietta take some more notes on the history of magic.

……

On the weekend, there was no one in the plant greenhouse and vegetable garden in the cold weather. When Qiu Zhang walked out of the warm greenhouse, the biting cold wind suddenly penetrated his body, making Qiu Zhang shiver uncontrollably.

Qiu Zhang held the Marauder's Map, looking through it carefully with his head lowered and his brows furrowed.

Why did that person's name suddenly disappear when it appeared in the greenhouse just now? …

Qiu Zhang's eyes were fixed on the map, and he slowly walked out while silently reciting Peter Pettigrew's name, and unknowingly walked into the vegetable garden.

Suddenly, Qiu Zhang felt an inexplicable heat coming from the biting cold air, and something strong was blocked in front of him.

At the same time, the footprints belonging to Cho Chang's name on the Marauder's Map in his hand gradually overlapped with the name of Sirius Black who appeared inexplicably.

Qiu Zhang saw the names on the map and guessed what was blocking her face, but she didn't dare to raise her head, and even her steps were frozen in place, unable to move at all.

Finally, Qiu Zhang slowly raised his eyes and saw the giant deer dog standing in front of him. His gray-black hair was blowing in the wind, his eyes were cold and deep, and his dark pupils were staring at Qiu Zhang as if he were looking at a dead person.

"what!"

Qiu Zhang wanted to run away faster, but almost as soon as he raised his feet, he tripped over himself. He couldn't help but slumped to the ground. He subconsciously leaned back to stay away from the giant dog in front of him. His eyes were so frightened that he was so scared that he didn't even realize it. A frightened teardrop fell from his eye.

As a cold wave swept over, the black silk threads like ink flew up in the wind, blocking the sight in front of them, making it difficult for people to see the inexplicable expression and intention of the giant dog.

Snow, I don’t know when it fell, covered Qiu Zhang and the giant dog’s hair, a patch of mottled white, as if they had white heads.

The giant dog's eyes fell on the Marauder's Map tightly held in Qiu Zhang's hand, and then he raised his eyes and glared at Qiu Zhang.

After a long time, I turned around and left...

……

Sirius Black!

Qiu Zhang squeezed the Marauder's Map in his hand. When his body was finally no longer stiff, he suddenly picked up the map and looked at it again. His name was no longer on it.
