Sirius, who actually left the refugee community earlier than Lupin and the others, now arrived at the Granger camp later than Lupine and the others. So where did he spend his time during this period? Woolen cloth
The answer is actually very simple, and it is not difficult to think of it at the moment - he went to Genoa to meet Professor McGonagall just like Fleur before, and in fact he went earlier than Fleur.
"When I left the Medici family's mansion, the Veela lady was also taking Professor McGonagall and the other teachers and students to set off one after another. Madam Maxime prepared a relatively small place for Hogwarts. He was placed in a safe place. I heard that it seemed to be Madam’s personal assistance to Professor McGonagall…”
After Sirius entered the tent and took a seat, he hurriedly talked about all the things he had learned during his trip. And everyone here obviously listened very seriously.
After all, they are all students of Hogwarts, some have graduated there, and some are actually still students. Regarding Hogwarts, everyone has fond memories that, although generally different, clearly come from the same source.
Of course Sirius himself was like this, otherwise, he wouldn't have made a special trip as soon as he got the exact news, just to find out whether the teachers and students who had returned from the sea in a hurry were okay.
"... Anyway, don't worry! Although they did encounter trouble at sea, except for some students being injured, they are basically fine." He said this, and suddenly turned to look at Bill diagonally across the conference table and said, "That charming Miss Wa will naturally be fine - she will come back here after all the teachers and students at Hogwarts are resettled. This is what she told me personally. So, Bill, don't worry too much."
"I'm... not worried. She's in Italy, far away from the disaster. What do I have to worry about." Bill felt a little embarrassed and quickly changed the topic, "But, you just mentioned that the Change encountered trouble at sea? What's the trouble?"
"Of course it was an attack. For Durmstrang's Change, ordinary sea weather changes and natural impacts, how can it be called 'trouble'?"
After saying this, Sirius repeated the specific description he got from Professor McGonagall in more detail. Finally, he frowned and said:
"Professor McGonagall said that it shouldn't be some kind of magical marine creature that has not yet been discovered, unless before that, it had been hibernating and sleeping at the bottom of the deep sea with all its breath. As for whether this is related to the current disaster... then It’s unknown.”
"At least judging from what you said, the guy who attacked the Change probably couldn't get ashore, otherwise it would be an additional hidden danger." Lu Ping nodded and said.
"Well," Sirius also nodded slightly, agreed with Lupine's statement, and then said, "In addition, there is actually one more thing, and this matter is somewhat... a little troublesome."
As he spoke, he subconsciously glanced at the door curtain when he came in, and then rubbed his forehead as if he had a headache.
But it was at this moment that Luna on the side suddenly spoke:
"Are they Xiao Ens and Alex (Note 1) outside?"
"Oh... Well, that's right." Sirius confirmed Luna's words, then turned to face the door curtain and shouted loudly, "Come in!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone saw that the door curtain was quickly lifted, and two not tall figures walked in from the outside one after another.
"Stand right here."
Sirius pointed towards the door and saw two boys immediately standing beside the door. Only then did Sirius come back to his senses, looked at the others, shrugged slightly and said:
"No way, these two little guys heard that I was coming to the front line, so they insisted on following me, and they do have some strength. No, Professor McGonagall also agreed, so I had to-"
However, before Sirius could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Lupine raising his hand.
"I don't know what your temper is? Isn't it because you are actually very supportive that you brought them here?"
After Lu Ping exposed it to his face, Sirius was naturally thick-skinned enough and didn't take it seriously at all. On the other hand, Enns and Alexander, who were standing by the door, seemed a little anxious when they saw this, probably because they were worried that they would be driven back by these adults again.
So the next moment, Enns couldn't help but take a step forward and said quite seriously:
"I have the strength to come to the front line to help you, and this is recognized by the principal! Please believe me!"
"It's 'us'." Alexander reminded quietly from the side.
"And it was only because of my efforts that no one died in the sea attack that Sirius just mentioned!" Enns continued.
"...It's 'us'." Alexander's voice was softer, but he still reminded him.
But Enns ignored him.
"And all this," Enns continued, "is because I got part of Salazar Slytherin's inheritance!"
"It's us'-"
"Shut up!" Enns finally turned around and glared at him.
But Alexander whispered seriously and stubbornly:
"You promised to include me, how could you not keep your word? If it weren't for me, would you be able to convince Professor McGonagall and Sirius? Now here you are, you actually want to get rid of me, don't even think about it think!"
"Okay, okay, stop mumbling there."
As the real owner of the target camp, Bill finally spoke:
"You can stay."
"real?"
Not to mention Alexander, at least the combat ability of Enns with the snake staff cannot be ignored. Just because he is still young, sending him to the front line to risk fighting at this time really goes against the most basic long-term strategic plan.
However, there are too few wizards who are worthy of fighting on the front line.
"Of course it's true," Bill may not be without embarrassment in his heart, but at least he said calmly and seriously on the surface, "Before the Change was completely disconnected from the land, Professor McGonagall used to communicate with the rear through here. , I know something about your snake staff... So, I think you... oh, it's 'you', you can stay here with me."
When talking about "you", Bill smiled at Alexander, and then said:
"But you must remember that here, everything must obey orders and obey orders, do you understand?"
"Yes Yes."
As soon as they heard that they could really stay, the two boys, who still had some childlike qualities after all, couldn't help but smile excitedly and excitedly, and hurriedly stood up straight.
After asking someone to take them out and settle down, Bill, Lupine, and Sirius looked at each other, each letting out a sigh.
"Who makes us adults so incompetent?" Lu Ping said with a wry smile.
