On the other side of Hogsmeade village, in the Three Broomsticks Pub, Harry and his friends were sitting at a table by the window.
Sitting opposite the three of them was Sirius Black.
After successfully exonerating himself, Sirius Black sorted out the property he inherited from the Black family. He was able to walk on the streets openly. He was no longer as sloppy as in the original book but took good care of his image.
Sirius now seemed to have regained his unruly appearance from his youth and looked like a noble young master. Of course, this was indeed the case.
He was wearing an outfit that pure-blood nobles wore to formal meetings, which seemed out of place in this small bar, but Sirius didn't care at all.
"Harry, you told me in your letter that Voldemort wanted to murder you. What's going on?"
Sirius' eyes were serious. He tapped the table with his index finger and asked Harry.
Harry told Sirius the whole story.
After learning the whole story, Sirius held his chin with his hand, as if thinking about something. From Harry's words, he learned that most of these things were revealed to them by Lynn and Irina.
However, Lynn and Irina had declined his invitation...
"Harry, you have to trust Lynn and Irina, no matter what happens, okay?"
Sirius stared at Harry's emerald eyes. He hesitated for a long time and finally decided to bet on the two little wizards who had helped him get rid of the crime.
He believed in the children of his comrades and the little witch who had a good relationship with Harry and the others. Since they were able to discover this information and tell him without reservation, they must be able to protect Harry, just like they helped him get rid of the crime last year.
Sirius didn't know that the information Lynn and Irina told Harry was just the most obvious part of the tip of the iceberg. Even if they didn't say it, Professor Moody would say it out loud to mobilize other people's emotions.
Of course, if this information had not been revealed by Lynn and Irina, given the trust Harry and the others had in Professor Moody, they probably would not have taken this matter too seriously.
After all, Mad-Eye Moody was even capable of using a spell to blow up the trash can in his own backyard, so it was not surprising that he conspired to believe that Voldemort wanted to murder Harry. In this case, his credibility was not very high.
This is why Professor Moody spoke out about this matter without any hesitation, because he was sure that no one would believe him!
Harry scratched his head and said, "Of course, I believe in Big Sister Irina, but... Senior Lynn has indeed taken care of me a lot and helped us a lot, but if we trust him without reservation..."
Seeing this, Sirius sighed and said seriously, "I know you are worried about the issue of Lynn being a Slytherin. To be honest, when I was a student, I also thought that no one in Slytherin was a good person, but that was until I met him, Lynn's father, Hendry Rowle."
Hearing Sirius' words, Harry subconsciously leaned forward, wanting to hear more from Sirius.
However, Sirius did not continue the topic. He just said, "Harry, you have to know that I trust Lynn, just like his father trusts me. He will not hurt you, and he has no reason to hurt you, understand?"
Since Sirius said so, Harry naturally had no reason to object. He nodded gently and said, "I understand. I will protect myself."
Sirius nodded with satisfaction. He said loudly to Ms. Rosmerta behind the counter: "Ms. Rosmerta, four cups of butterbeer, please. Thank you!"
Madam Rosmerta smiled as she looked at Sirius, the wizard she had watched grow up. She brought four glasses of butterbeer and placed them on the table in front of Harry and the others.
Ron picked up the cup and took a big sip. He burped contentedly and said, "It's so comfortable. It's a pity that Irina is not here, so I can't drink such delicious butterbeer..."
Hearing this, Hermione said teasingly: "Maybe they are enjoying something better..."
Harry and Sirius both laughed.
The four of them drank butterbeer and talked about the Triwizard Tournament.
Just as the glasses in the hands of the four were empty and Sirius was about to stand up to pay the bill, the door of the Three Broomsticks opened again, and Hagrid and Professor Moody walked in.
Hagrid was seen lowering his body and talking to Professor Moody. Hagrid waved to Ms. Rosmerta to order, while Professor Moody was drinking an unknown liquid from the curved bottle he carried with him.
Seeing this, everyone, including Sirius Black, thought that Professor Moody was just suspicious by nature and didn't dare to drink other people's things. However, they never imagined that the curved bottle contained not a drink at all but a Polyjuice Potion.
Madam Rosmerta handed Hagrid a glass of Firewhiskey and glanced at Professor Moody with some dissatisfaction, probably thinking that Professor Moody's behavior was an insult to the hot drinks in her tavern.
At this moment, Professor Moody turned his gaze to Harry intentionally or unintentionally, and after his magic eye fixed on Harry, he patted Hagrid's back and whispered a few words.
Then the two of them turned around and came to Harry's table.
"Congratulations on your exoneration, Sirius, my old friend!"
Professor Moody smiled and held out his hand to Sirius.
Sirius stretched out his hand and shook hands with him. Although Professor Moody had become crazy and was called Mad-Eye, he still had a good impression of this comrade.
While Professor Moody was talking to Sirius, Hagrid leaned over beside Harry, pretending to look at the menu on Harry's desk, and said in a voice that only Harry could hear: "Harry, meet me in my cabin at midnight today and put on your Invisibility Cloak."
After saying this, he straightened up and said loudly and deliberately: "Nice to meet you, Ron and Hermione!"
He winked and left, and Professor Moody followed Hagrid after saying goodbye to Sirius.
"Harry, what did Hagrid say to you?"
Hermione asked, noticing Hagrid's unusual movement.
Harry did not hide it from anyone but told them the truth.
Hearing this, Sirius frowned: "Hagrid asked you to find him in the middle of the night? Well, I wonder if you have noticed that Moody seems to be a little bit abnormal."
