Harry Potter and the Old Ones

Tierra still didn't show up for the Halloween dinner that night.

But what made Harry more relieved was that Tierra seemed to have left him a note——

It probably meant that he went to collect some herbs near the Forbidden Forest, and he probably won't be back until very late, so he asked Harry to leave him alone and enjoy the banquet.

However, what Harry didn't know was that Tierra appeared in front of the fat lady's portrait just as he and other classmates left the Gryffindor common room—

"Dragon slag." Tiera said.

"Oh, lovely little Tierra, aren't you going to the banquet?" Madam Pang asked.

"I'll come back and change clothes and take a shower." Tiera said.

"Okay, Happy Halloween, little..."

After the fat lady opened the door, Tierra immediately used a shielding spell on the fat lady——

This spell is equivalent to the Sleeping Charm dedicated to ghosts and portrait figures, causing the surrounding portraits to fall into a deep sleep——

The portraits are also used to——

Tierra would do this trick every time before playing a prank.

That's why there's almost no evidence anyone caught him doing pranks.

Tierra left the door to the Gryffindor common room ajar, and walked in by herself.

About ten minutes later, a huge black dog ran out of the tree hole under the Whomping Willow, walked through the empty corridor hall, and stepped on the changing stairs to the eighth floor.

In front of the sleeping portrait of the Fat Lady, the huge black dog turned back into a human form——

It was a tall and handsome man, with a pair of dark gray eyes excitedly looking forward through a mass of dirty, tangled hair. His figure was tall and thin, like a bony waxy yellow corpse, wearing a Wearing tattered prison clothes——

It was Sirius Black.

After finding out that the fat lady was asleep, Sirius stepped forward to take a picture of the portrait, trying to wake the fat lady up, but——

"squeak--"

With a bang, the door to the Gryffindor common room opened automatically. It wasn't until this time that Sirius Black realized that the door was ajar.

The long-term life in exile made Sirius instinctively alert, but in the end, the desire for revenge overwhelmed everything, and Sirius Black stepped into the door of the Gryffindor common room——

First, what Sirius saw was the Gryffindor common room, which was almost indistinguishable from the common room he remembered, a comfortable circular room with gold and red paint on the surrounding walls. Wallpaper adorns the floor with squishy armchairs.

Near the exit there is a huge fireplace with a row of sofas in front of it—

Sirius used to remember the happy times he had with James, Lupine, and Peter Pettigrew on this couch—

But now, Sirius Black is full of vengeful anger, he has no time, and he doesn't want to think about the happy times he once had——

Every warm memory made Sirius Black feel like a knife.

Sirius sped across the Gryffindor common room and up the stairs leading to Gryffindor Tower—

Because the desire for revenge was too strong, when Sirius Black walked through the Gryffindor common room, he didn't notice that the characters in the oil painting on the wall of the Gryffindor common room were all caught in the same trap as the Fat Lady. deep sleep.

Sirius Black didn't know where Harry's bedroom was, so he had to go find it one by one—

Sirius Black tiptoed into the first of the Gryffindor towers—

It was a rather messy dormitory. Dirty clothes and smelly socks were thrown around, and books and homework were randomly piled up on the floor.

There was also a sour smell of fermented sweat in the air, which made even Sirius Black, who had stayed in Azkaban for twelve years, couldn't help covering his nose lightly.

Sirius Black looked around the dormitory for a while, then quietly retreated out——

This was definitely not the dormitory where Harry was. The size of the socks and clothes on the floor and bed showed that a group of little wizards in the fifth or even sixth grade lived in this dormitory.

Sirius Black continued to climb up the stairs, and after passing through a few more dormitories, Sirius Black finally found the dormitory where Harry was—

Compared with other dormitories, this is an overly tidy dormitory. The quilts of the five beds are all neatly folded on the bed, and the clothes are not messed up, but are piled in the closet next to their respective beds.

The window of this dormitory is open, and the cold air blows in from the window at the end of October, making the temperature of this dormitory much lower than other dormitories.

Sirius Black found Harry's bed at a glance—

Pinned to the railing of one of the beds was a magical photo of Harry, Tierra, Ron and Hermione, four little wizards standing in front of Hogwarts Castle. On the lawn, looking at the camera with a smile on his face.

Sirius Black first walked to Harry's bed, squatted halfway on the ground, gently touched Harry's pillow, quilt and bed sheet, lowered his head, and gently sniffed.

"Harry..." Sirius said softly.

Then Sirius stood up, walked to Ron's bed, sniffed at Ron's bed—

Candies, cakes, the peculiar sweaty smell of teenage boys, and——

A stink of rats.

Sirius Black followed the stench of the mouse and sniffed around the bedroom.

From time to time, the stench of mice appeared under the bed, under the cabinet, next to the stove——

Then it disappeared completely next to the open window.

The clammy cold wind of the Hogwarts night blew away most of the atmosphere in the room, and it was here that the clue to Sirius Black broke.

This made Sirius a little annoyed, years of prison life and vengeful anger had tortured his nerves so fragile——

But fortunately, for the sake of Harry, he still has a sliver of sanity left, and he didn't do anything irrational. After Sirius Black searched the dormitory again, he still found nothing, so he could only curse viciously, and then Quietly slipped out of the dormitory, along the stairs of the Gryffindor tower, down to the common room—

But suddenly, Sirius Black smelled an unusual smell——

It was the smell of food, and the smell of burning wood—

Sirius Black cautiously went down to the Gryffindor common room, hid behind the entrance door frame of the boys' dormitory and looked towards the common room——

There is a warm fire burning in the fireplace in the common room, and there is an extra tea table in front of the fireplace, which is filled with a variety of food, exuding a tempting aroma.

On the sofa in front of the fireplace, sat a little wizard with his back to Sirius Black and bowed his head.

Sirius Black changed back into the form of the big black dog, and ran towards the exit of the Gryffindor common room with light steps——

If the fireplace and sofa, Sirius looked up -

The one sitting on the sofa seemed to be the little wizard named Tierra, who was currently concentrating on reading a big thick book.

"Mr. Black." Tierra suddenly raised her head and smiled at Sirius Black, "Come, sit down, let's have a good talk."

Sirius was like a frightened bird, with four paws exerting strength, he rushed out with a "whoosh" and came to the exit of the Gryffindor common room in a blink of an eye.

Seeing that the door of the common room was still ajar, Sirius was overjoyed, rushed out, and—

Then he saw a burning fireplace, a table of delicious food, and a teenager sitting on the sofa reading a book.

Sirius looked back—

Behind it is the entrance to Gryffindor Tower.

"Mr. Black." Tierra smiled lightly, stroking the big thick book in her hand, "Come and sit down, I have something I want to talk to you about."

The "inheritor" has obtained the authority of space and knowledge, allowing Tierra to arbitrarily modify, tamper with, and travel through space——
