HP Star Shining

"We originally wanted to lock him up in a pyramid," Fred whispered to Su Xingchen, "but unfortunately, Mom found out."

Su Xingchen gently bumped Fred's arm, motioning him to look at Mrs. Weasley's horrified expression.

Fred made a zipper-like gesture with his mouth towards his mother, but Su Xingchen felt that her expression did not improve.

Overall, the dinner that night was very pleasant, except for the fact that Harry accidentally overheard the quarrel between Mr. and Mrs. Weasley before going to bed.

So Sirius wanted to find him?

Then all this would explain why Fudge was so magnanimous to him and why the Ministry of Magic sent a car to the Weasleys, so that they could take care of him and get him to the station safely.

Back in his room and lying on his bed, Harry stared at the dark ceiling.

Did everyone think he couldn't take care of himself? He remembered that he had escaped Voldemort's clutches three times before, and he was not a useless piece of shit.

"I will not be killed," he cried.

"That would be the best, dear." The mirror in the room replied sleepily.

The next day, the journey to King's Cross Station was uneventful.

Now Harry and Su Xingchen can already skillfully pass through the pillars between platforms nine and ten to reach platform nine and three-quarters.

When boarding the train, Su Xingchen saw Harry and Mr. Weasley hiding in the corner and whispering to each other.

Harry hurriedly jumped in just a second before the car door closed.

The train belched steam and slowly started to move.

"I need to talk to you privately." Harry whispered to them as the train gradually accelerated.

"Ginny, go away." Ron said to Ginny without hesitation.

"Okay, no problem." Ginny walked away with her head held high in frustration.

Hermione led everyone to find an empty compartment, but all the compartments were full except the last one.

There was only one person in that compartment, a man sitting by the window and sleeping soundly.

The stranger was dressed in tattered wizard robes, patched in several places, and he looked sickly, his light brown hair beginning to gray despite his youthful appearance.

Hogwarts is a student-only train. In recent years, apart from the witch pushing a cart selling snacks, no one has seen any adults on the train.

Harry, Ron and Hermione stood at the door and looked inside. Only Su Xingchen was not curious at all, because she knew who it was.

Since all other places were full, the four of them walked into the compartment and closed the sliding door.

"Who do you think he is?" Ron asked in a low voice, and chose a seat farthest from the window.

"Professor R.J. Lupin," Hermione whispered back immediately.

Ron looked at her in surprise, "How do you know everything?"

"It's written on the suitcase." Hermione pointed to the suitcase above the stranger's head.

It was a tattered little box, tied up with many small ropes and neatly tied in knots. The name was printed on a corner of the box, and the letters were already peeling off.

From the very beginning, Su Xingchen chose the position she thought was most suitable, opposite Professor Lupin.

"I wonder what course he teaches?" Ron frowned. The professor looked lifeless.

"It's obvious isn't it? There's only one spot open," said Hermione.

"Well, I hope he's up to the task, he looks..." as if any witch could take him out.

Legend has it that the job of Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher is cursed.

Of course, they did have a new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher every year.

Ron stopped struggling and turned to look at Harry. "What do you want to tell us?"

Harry glanced at Professor Lupin to make sure he was really asleep, then told everyone what he had overheard and what Mr. Weasley had warned him against.

Ron was stunned, Hermione covered her mouth tightly with both hands, and only Su Xingchen remained calm from beginning to end.

Hermione put down her hands. "Sirius Black escaped to find you? Listen, Harry, you must be very, very careful and don't get into trouble..."

"I don't." Hermione's words made Harry a little annoyed. "It's trouble that always comes to me."

Su Xingchen nodded secretly, this was correct.

"Harry is not a fool. He won't look for someone who wants to kill him." Ron's voice trembled a little.

Harry hadn't expected such a big reaction from Hermione and Ron; they seemed more afraid of Black than he was.

"No one knows how he escaped from Azkaban," Ron continued. "No one had ever escaped from there before, and he was a heavily guarded criminal."

"They'll catch him, though," said Hermione, not knowing whether to comfort Harry or herself.

Su Xingchen remained calm and silent in response to their heated discussion.

There seemed to be no twists and turns in this matter about Blake.

Not long after Harry heard that Black was the murderer of his parents, he met him. The two resolved the misunderstanding and found the real enemy at their first meeting, so there was no need for her to persuade him.

As Hermione and Ron were talking, they suddenly jumped to Hogsmeade village and talked about the coveted Honeydukes candy house and the Shrieking House, the house with the most powerful male ghost in Britain.

Su Xingchen became even more expressionless.

"It would definitely be nice to leave school and go to Hogsmeade once in a while, right?" Hermione was full of longing.

"That should be it." Harry looked unhappy. "I can only wait until you figure it out and tell me."

"What do you mean?" Ron asked in surprise.

"I can't go. The Dursleys won't sign my permission form. I asked Fudge, but he wouldn't go either."

Ron half-opened his mouth. "Perhaps Professor McGonagall or someone else can give you the OK..."

Harry gave a dry laugh.

Professor McGonagall was the strictest person he had ever met, and she was also the Head of Gryffindor, so he would rather ask Fudge.

Hermione found that Su Xingchen had not participated in this topic.

"What about you, Xingchen? Where do you want to go in Hogsmeade?"

Su Xingchen smiled and said, "I can only wait for you to tell me."

Now, besides Hermione and Ron, even Harry was surprised.

Although she had lived alone with her housekeeper on Privet Drive since the day she met Su Xingchen, she would leave for a while every summer vacation. Harry thought she would go home halfway through.

"Stars..." Hermione didn't know what to say. Everyone knew Harry's situation, so it wasn't surprising that his permission form was not signed.

She suddenly realized that apart from Su Xingchen herself, they knew nothing about her. Could it be that she was the same as Harry?
