Chapter 296: You Can Trust Him!

After the day's practice concluded, on their way back, Hermione walked in silence with a furrowed brow.

"Hermione, you're not still thinking about Trelawney's nonsense, are you? She's just an old fraud," Ron advised her. "I was nearly taken in myself, but after I made up a month's worth of bad luck and got an 'Outstanding,' I stopped believing in her."

Then, he turned to Harry, excitedly saying, "I've learned a trick or two from Professor Harp. If you ever get sorted again, I can help" he gave Harry a meaningful look.

Harry shivered slightly, finding little comfort in his words.

He held a Muggle coin in his hand, a fifty-pence piece with seven sides, glinting slightly in the sunlight.

Ron stared at the coin and said, "I still have the one you gave me last year. But... Professor Harp really is interesting. Who would've thought of this?"

Before the practice ended, Professor Harp had asked Harry for a coin. Harry had intended to pull out a bronze Knut, but unexpectedly found this silver coin in a corner of his pocket. After confirming it wouldn't cause any issues, he handed the silver coin to the professor for him to perform a spell on it.

At the time, the professor had told him, "I can't keep an eye on your progress every day, so let's make a deal. Until it turns into a dazzling gold color, you won't use the Patronus Charm outside of the Room of Requirement."

Back in the common room, they saw the twins transfiguring a table.

It had become a dazed-looking lion, with soft, ginger-yellow fur and a droopy face, like it had been punched. Harry thought the twins must've taken inspiration from Hermione's pet Crookshanks.

"It's still not right!" Lee Jordan squeezed the lion's drooping ear and said in a deflated tone.

"You have to make compromises," Fred said. "At least it's movable, right?"

"I don't want to ride this thing around, I'd be laughed at for sure!" Lee Jordan said fearfully.

Harry asked Seamus, who was enthusiastically watching from the side, "What are they doing?"

Seamus eagerly explained, "They're trying to create a lion mount, exclusive for Gryffindor. Unfortunately, the effects of the Transfiguration aren't quite up to par..."

Harry couldn't help but recall the Slytherin girl who had paraded around the corridor on a giant snake, even though she had later been put in detention by Professor McGonagall. Her name had become known in an instant.

Light bloomed at her fingertips, a gentle, non-blinding milky glow. Hermione carefully controlled the magic, her magic power pouring forth uncontrollably...

Magic must not control her. "Oh, still not quite right" The light in Hermione's hand shattered. She sighed in disappointment. "My magic can't handle more attempts, even though I can do it in the Room of Requirement."

Felix chuckled. "You're a fast learner. I expect you'll have it mastered by the end of the Easter break."

Hermione wiped her brow and noticed the Marauder's Map on the worktable. She couldn't help but ask, "Professor, has that dark wizard not shown up yet?"

"That's right," Felix said, a touch of helplessness in his tone. "All we can do is wait."

After a long pause, Hermione bit her lip, her expression conflicted. "Can the Unbreakable Vow be broken?"

Felix fixed his gaze on her. "Miss Granger... what have you deduced now?"

"Oh, I..." Hermione pressed her lips together, her voice trembling. "Sirius Black's accusation for being locked in Azkaban, apart from committing shameful murders, is that he was a loyal spy for the mysterious figurehe betrayed Harry's parents!"

"If I'm not mistaken, you have a 'but' coming," Felix calmly said, his eyes on her.

"But it doesn't make sense! Even if Black hated Ron's rat more, for instance, due to Death Eater infighting or personal feuds, he wouldn't spare Harry. I've thought of a possibility, and I've looked into information privately, but the Unbreakable Vow can't be broken by external forces..."

Felix fell silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Miss Granger, if... and I say 'if,' unforeseen changes were to occur, if you were to encounter himSirius BlackGranger, you can trust him, especially when Harry is in danger!"
