Chu Yang sighed.
"Oh!"
Hagrid cried out and rushed forward to help Harry up, but Sirius was faster and darted in front of Harry in a few steps.
Sirius gently stroked the scar on Harry's forehead and whispered, "Harry... Potter."
Harry groggily opened his eyes and saw the man with the menacing look in his eyes. He screamed in terror and fainted again.
Hagrid sighed and reminded him, "I think you should tidy yourself up, Blake. Look what you've done to the child!"
Sirius was too embarrassed to speak.
Chu Yang placed the breakfast on the folding table outside and turned to Sirius Black, saying, "The bathroom on the second floor is ready to use anytime, Mr. Black."
Looking at the boy with an Asian face in front of him, Sirius suddenly remembered his conversation with Dumbledore.
The other party told him that a student named "Chu Yang" had captured Peter Pettigrew, which was how he regained his freedom.
Sirius asked, "Are you Chu Yang?"
Chu Yang smiled and nodded, "We can talk about it at the dinner table. We're about to have breakfast, so please finish washing up soon."
Sirius was quite surprised by the boy's unusually mature manner of speaking.
"Go wash up, I'll take care of Harry."
Hagrid urged Sirius on, his gaze unconsciously drifting towards the breakfast Chu Yang had just prepared. The aroma emanating from the food made him swallow hard.
After handing Harry over to Hagrid, Sirius walked straight to the cabin. Hermione nervously stepped aside, and Sirius politely said, "Thank you."
"It's not as scary as I imagined..."
Hermione watched Sirius's retreating figure, muttering to herself, then walked to Chu Yang's side and whispered, "Who is he? Why did you call him Mr. Black?"
Chu Yang replied, "Black was a close friend of Harry's parents and also Harry's godfather."
Hermione's eyes widened immediately.
Hagrid helped Harry sit on a stool, then took something that looked like a plant root from his pocket and placed it under Harry's nose.
Harry jolted awake, then gasped for breath and slowly opened his eyes.
Thankfully, this time it was Hagrid.
Harry breathed a sigh of relief.
The tent on the grass stirred, and Ron, still in his pajamas and bleary-eyed, peeked out. He followed the scent and slowly walked to the dining table, preparing to sit down.
Hermione pulled the stool out from under his butt in an annoyed manner.
"Ouch."
Ron fell hard to the ground, instantly waking up from his drowsiness, which finally satisfied Hermione.
After a while.
Everyone gathered around the table, their mouths watering from the aroma of the delicious food, and they were all quite impatient.
Squeak~~~
Sirius Black pushed open the wooden door and reappeared before everyone.
Although he was still wearing the same simple and worn-out clothes, his mental state had been completely transformed. He no longer looked sinister, but he was somewhat thin.
Hermione said, "It looks pretty good after it's been washed."
Sirius bowed slightly and chuckled softly, "Beautiful lady, thank you for your compliment."
Hermione's face flushed red.
"Everyone's waiting for you, come sit down, Blake!"
Hagrid swallowed anxiously.
Already starving, Sirius Black didn't care about appearances. He took three steps at a time and sat down next to Harry, taking a deep breath of the rich aroma of food, his face showing pure delight.
Harry stared at him curiously.
"Now that everyone is here, let's start eating."
Chu Yang gestured for everyone to have their meal.
Jingle bells~~~
The clinking of knives and forks against plates filled the air as everyone buried their heads in their food, stuffing large mouthfuls into their mouths.
"This vegetable soup is so delicious, it tastes just like my mom's!"
Ron kept his head down, eating and muttering to himself.
"Compared to my mother's cooking, this is very high praise. Thank you, Ron."
Chu Yang said with a smile.
Hermione was about to praise how delicious the food was when she heard Chu Yang say that, so she immediately shut up and glared at Ron without saying a word.
Feeling Hermione's murderous gaze, Ron was somewhat bewildered.
After finishing his vegetable soup, Hagrid forked a piece of grilled bacon into his mouth, chewed it for a while, and then wiped his mouth with satisfaction.
Sirius had already finished the food in front of him, but he didn't know what to say and felt a little awkward.
Chu Yang gently kicked Hagrid's leg.
Hagrid understood, cleared his throat, and began to introduce Sirius Black's identity to everyone.
Bang!
Ron dropped the spoon in his hand, pointed at Sirius, and said incredulously, "He's the one... from Azkaban..."
Hermione quickly covered Ron's mouth.
Sirius smiled, not caring.
Hagrid explained, "Black is innocent. He did not kill anyone, nor did he betray Harry's parents."
Hagrid then recounted the whole story, and Ron and Hermione looked at Sirius with more sympathy.
How wronged must a person feel if they are imprisoned in Azkaban for more than ten years on trumped-up charges?
Sirius noticed their expressions and laughed heartily, "Before coming here, I was indeed filled with resentment, but after seeing Harry, none of that mattered anymore."
Sirius looked at Harry tenderly. "You look just like your father, and your eyes are exactly like Lily's."
For some reason, Harry suddenly burst into tears and choked up when he heard those words.
Sirius stood up and gently embraced Harry.
This was a moment Harry had longed for countless times in his dreams... for his father to hold him tightly in his strong, powerful arms.
As Harry gradually accepts Sirius Black, he displays an unprecedented innocence.
He hovered around Sirius, asking him childish questions, which Sirius patiently answered, creating a scene of perfect fatherly love and filial piety.
It's even a little too mushy, with an overly affectionate father-son relationship...
Even Ron Hermione couldn't resist hiding in the cabin to help Chu Yang wash the dishes.
"I hope they can get along just as well during Harry's adolescence."
Hagrid forced his way through the door and reluctantly walked in.
Ron retorted, "Didn't you consider that you might come in when you built this cabin?"
Hagrid brushed the dust off his clothes and said, "Time is of the essence..."
Chu Yang and Hermione set the washed dishes aside to dry, then he wiped his hands and asked Hagrid, "Where is Headmaster Dumbledore?"
“He’s resting,” Hagrid said worriedly. “It’s not a good thing for him to be running around at his age. I had a hard time persuading him to go back and get some sleep.”
Chu Yang nodded.
But to everyone's surprise, Dumbledore appeared at the cabin just after noon.
"You came right after Hagrid left. You're not deliberately avoiding him, are you?"
"He keeps telling me to go and rest, but my mind is full of Horcruxes, and I can't sleep at all."
"what do you mean?"
“Bring Blake with me. I need to get my hands on the last Horcrux.”
The last Horcrux is the locket hidden in the Black family home, but it requires a member of the Black family to lead you there.
Dumbledore suddenly sighed, "Besides the Horcruxes, someone also needs to know about Regulus Arcturus Black, especially his brother Sirius..."
As the two were talking, the cabin door was pushed open, and Sirius Black came out.
“I’ve taken up most of Harry’s time, it’s time to return him to his friends.” Sirius bowed slightly to Chu Yang. “I didn’t have a chance to express my gratitude earlier. If it weren’t for you, I might still be stuck in the dark and hopeless Azkaban.”
Chu Yang waved his hand, "No need to be so polite. Let's not talk about that. Headmaster Dumbledore needs your help."
Sirius looked at Dumbledore with some surprise. What could possibly make the great Dumbledore seek his help?
Dumbledore said, "I need you to take me to the Black family's ancestral home, where Voldemort's Horcruxes may be hidden."
Black subconsciously shook his head and said, "Impossible. Although the Black family believes Voldemort's ideas are correct and all agree on maintaining the purity of the wizarding bloodline, they have not truly become Death Eaters, except..."
