HP Star Shining

"Professor, Sirius is innocent, Scabbers is the murderer!" Harry shouted excitedly to the headmaster.

"Scabbers?" Dumbledore frowned.

"It's Peter Pettigrew. We saw him with our own eyes." Hermione interrupted eagerly.

The two jumped out of bed and couldn't wait to tell the principal what happened tonight.

"It's Pettigrew..."

Dumbledore raised his hand to stop their rapid-fire narrative.

"Okay, now it's your turn. Don't interrupt me, as time is running out." He whispered, "Unfortunately, there's no evidence to prove Black's innocence. The words of a few thirteen-year-old wizards can't convince anyone. He didn't act like an innocent man either. He slashed the Fat Lady's portrait and entered Gryffindor Tower with a knife. Regardless of whether Pettigrew is dead or alive, we can't overturn Black's case if we can't find him."

"But you trust us," Harry said anxiously.

"I believe it." Dumbledore's eyes moved around the room. "But I can't make anyone else see the truth, nor can I influence the Minister of Magic."

Harry stared at the stern face and felt his hope suddenly shattered. He had always thought that Dumbledore could solve all problems.

"Time is such a mysterious thing," Dumbledore said slowly, his light blue eyes turning to Hermione. "Sirius is imprisoned in Professor Flitwick's office on the eighth floor, the thirteenth window on the right side of the west tower. If all goes well, you can save more than one innocent life tonight. Miss Granger, you know the rules. You must not be seen by anyone."

Harry was confused, but Hermione understood what he meant.

Dumbledore walked to the door and turned back. "Now, I will lock you up." He checked the time. "It will be five minutes to midnight. I hope you can finish this before midnight. Miss Granger, I think three turns will be enough. Good luck."

"Good luck?" Harry muttered after the door closed. "What do you mean by three turns? What does he mean?"

Hermione took out a long, thin gold chain from her collar, "Xingchen, I'm sorry you can't move, so..."

Su Xingchen closed his eyes and waved twice to signal them to leave.

"Come here, Harry," Hermione called out. "We're running out of time."

Harry was completely confused. Everyone could understand what Dumbledore meant, but he didn't. He walked over to Hermione and found a small, glittering hourglass hanging on a chain in her hand.

Hermione put the chain around Harry's neck as well and twisted it three times.

When Su Xingchen opened his eyes again, the two of them were no longer in the ward.

In fact, even if she hadn't been injured, she had no intention of getting involved. Because she was too aware of the influence of the Dementors on her, she knew that if she went, she would most likely hinder the Dementors and cause trouble for the two of them.

Now she knew that Hermione's device was a time-reversing device, which meant it couldn't travel through time and space at will, couldn't change established facts, and couldn't go back too far. The slightest fear of the unknown in her heart also dissipated.

Everything that exists today is the truth that has settled over time.

It fits perfectly with her worldview.

So, NPC should just go to sleep.

However, it wasn't long before she heard hurried footsteps, followed by the sound of a door being locked with a click.

When he opened his eyes again, Harry and Hermione were in the ward again.

That’s right, after all, I only closed my eyes for three or four minutes.

"What happened?" Su Xingchen asked quietly.

"It worked." Harry ran out of breath. "Sirius escaped, riding Buckbeak."

"Did anyone see us?" Although I knew no one saw us, I still had to ask out of concern.

"No, we were very careful," said Hermione, and she and Harry recounted everything they had done since leaving the ward.

"So you have learned it, Harry?" Su Xingchen looked at him.

Harry nodded, "Yes, I thought it was Dad, but then I realized it was me."

"That's amazing." This way she will have no problem studying next semester.

In fact, Harry was very puzzled by Su Xingchen's abnormal behavior tonight and the fact that he had never mentioned the "Patronus Charm" to anyone. He was sure that this was what Xingchen was asking about.

Considering that she had repeatedly confirmed that there was no "unknown," her abnormal behavior tonight and her knowledge of the Patronus Charm didn't seem surprising. But did this mean that she had already known about Sirius? And the truth behind his parents' death?

Sue Headless Star didn't realize she had already aroused Harry's suspicion. "Go to bed early. We have a tough battle tomorrow."

They let Sirius go, Snape and Fudge will definitely come to cause trouble. The two lay down on their respective beds as they were told. They were indeed very tired tonight.

Harry turned his head to the right. Xingchen was lying on her side, her whole body facing him. As if she could feel his gaze, she opened her eyes that had just been closed. Her watery little doe eyes were full of confusion. "What's wrong?"

"It's okay." Harry turned his head back and closed his eyes.

Now wasn't the right time to ask, but he would find out.

Su Xingchen blinked in confusion, feeling strange.

After a while, thunderous roars were heard from far outside the ward.

"He must have Apparated, Severus. Someone should have been left in the room to watch him. If word got out..." It was the voice of Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge.

"He didn't Apparate," Snape roared. "You can't Apparate in the castle, Potter. It must be him!"

"Severus, calm down, Harry has been locked in." It was Dumbledore's voice.

The increasingly loud noises woke up the three people who were still asleep. Su Xingchen rubbed his eyes and thought he would have to wait until tomorrow morning. This was good, as he could have a good and peaceful sleep tomorrow morning.

With a bang, the door of the ward was slammed open, and Fudge, Snape and Dumbledore strode in.

Fudge was scowling, Professor Snape looked frantic, and the only one who remained calm was Dumbledore. In fact, he even seemed to be in a somewhat good mood.

"Speak! Potter, what have you done?" Snape roared.

"Professor Snape!" screamed Madam Pomfrey, who came rushing over. "Please restrain yourself."

"Listen, Snape, calm down," Fudge said. "This door is locked. We just saw it."

"They helped Black escape, I know." Snape pointed at Hermione and Harry, spitting.

Su Xingchen looked at it, and his face was almost twisted with anger.

But even though he was so angry, he couldn't see her, and didn't say that she was involved. With such powerful skills, if he wasn't an undercover agent, who would be?
