Chapter 248 Sirius: Rove, let me help you buy a cruise ship!
Fudge was right in saying that Rove was indeed the absolute protagonist today, the focus of the audience, and the darling of the media.
He caught Peter, who had been on the run for eleven years, and helped Blake clear his grievances. A Merlin Medal was a sure thing, and the only suspense was just a few levels.
Everyone wanted to chat with Rove, he was surrounded by reporters everywhere he went, and every newspaper wanted to do an exclusive interview with him.
Fudge also knew how to catch people's attention. He enthusiastically held Rove's arm, accepted various interviews, and introduced many wizards to him.
It seemed that the two knew each other very well, as if Rove was his son-in-law.
In the end, the teenager struggled to get rid of Fudge under the excuse of going to the toilet.
In the corner, Dumbledore was chatting with Sirius Black.
"Professor, I want to see Harry." Sirius said with some embarrassment.
"No problem." Dumbledore smiled and said, "You can see him anytime."
"One more thing, I think you know," stammered Sirius, "I'm Harry's godfather, and James and Lily have appointed me as their guardian, should any misfortune happen to them..."
"Of course, if Harry is willing to live with his aunt and uncle, I will understand."
Sirius had already regarded Harry as James' stand-in, and he wanted to raise James... ahem, Harry as his own son.
This has been his long-cherished wish for many years.
"Sirius, I believe Harry would like to live with you, but I must tell you..." Dumbledore shook his head and said, "No."
"Why?" Sirius asked anxiously, "Are you afraid that I will hurt him? He's not Peter...I won't go crazy again."
"I know you won't, but...you have to consider Harry's safety." Dumbledore's face gradually became serious, and he said in a deep voice:
"Although Voldemort was defeated, he is still alive. Although I don't know when he will come back, ten years, twenty years, or fifty years later, I am sure he will come back!"
Dumbledore narrowed his eyes, looked at the round hole in the ceiling of the hall, and said slowly:
"As far as I know about Voldemort, after he is resurrected, he will definitely seek revenge on Harry again, and once he regains his full strength, even if I use the most powerful magic, I may not be his opponent."
"Then Harry should live by my side even more, I can protect him." Sirius hurriedly said with a puzzled face, "His aunt and uncle are just Muggles, if Death Eaters come to him..."
"Sirius, Lily gave up her life to save Harry."
"I know, I can do it too..."
"I don't doubt your determination, Sirius, but there is a secret thing that you don't know." Dumbledore sighed slightly.
"whats the matter?"
"Lily cast an ancient magic before she died, and that magic still flows in Harry's blood, giving him a lasting protection." Dumbledore said slowly:
"The premise is...Harry must call the place containing Lily's blood his home. As long as he stays in that home, he will not be disturbed or harmed by Voldemort."
Sirius froze.
"Lily is dead, her parents are also dead, and the only surviving blood relative is her sister Petunia, Aunt Harry." Dumbledore said earnestly:
"Harry has to go back to number four Privet Drive every year, which is also his sanctuary!"
Sirius was so shocked that he couldn't be more shocked, his face was full of astonishment, and he said slowly after a while: "I see."
"You don't have to worry too much." Dumbledore patted the middle-aged man's shoulder and comforted him, "Harry only needs to go back once a year, and the rest of the time, he can go to your place."
After a moment of silence, Sirius said softly:
"By the way, I have one more thing... I want to meet the boy who saved me, and thank him very much."
"Ah, speaking of Rove..." Dumbledore waved his hand towards the distance and said, "He's there."
Rove was carrying the box, and when he saw the principal waving his hand, he walked over quickly and said hello:
"Professor Dumbledore, today's trial is really exciting, completely different from your usual."
"Really? I still prefer the Hogwarts me." A smile flashed across the old man's face and said, "Rove, are you leaving?"
"Yes, I've come to say goodbye to you."
"Mr. Scamander, where are you going?" Sirius asked hastily.
"Hello, Sirius, just call Rove." The boy reached out his hand, shook hands with him, and then explained softly, "I'm going to the port of Dover, and from there I'll take a magic ship to America."
"Can you stay a few more days?" Sirius asked to stay: "You caught Peter and saved my life. I want to repay you well."
"It's okay, you can do it with a little effort, and you're fine." Rove waved his hand and said, "As for the repayment, don't say any more."
"No!" Sirius shook his head and insisted: "Rove, you saved me without expecting anything in return, that's your nobleness, but I can't help but care! I must repay you for saving my life."
"How about this..." Sirius thought for a while and said:
"Rove, you can refund your ticket, and I'll charter the whole cruise ship for you again, so that no other passengers will disturb you and you'll be safe."
"..."
"It's really unnecessary." Rove smiled wryly.
Well, the Black family is indeed rich, after all, their family is much richer than the Malfoy family.
The Black family also has a tradition that has lasted for more than ten centuries, that is, every child of the Black family will receive an astonishing amount of gold on their seventeenth birthday.
Because people in their family believe that the gift at the beginning of life is more meaningful than the gift at a later age.
If the family didn't have a few mines, they really wouldn't dare to squander it on a newly grown wizard like this!
It can be seen how luxurious the Black family is!
Today, there is only Sirius in the Black family. Even though he ran away from home at the age of sixteen and was removed from the family tree by his mother, he alone inherited all the inheritance of the Black family.
That was an unimaginably huge amount of wealth. Not to mention chartering a cruise ship, buying a cruise ship is also easy.
However, Rove firmly rejected Sirius' sugar-coated shells!
Dumbledore watched this scene with a smile on his face. A bottle appeared in his hand and handed it to the boy.
"Rove, I need your help to bring this to your grandpa."
Rove took the bottle, he frowned, shook it lightly, as if weighing it, and said in surprise: "This is not..."
Is it in a magic bottle of silence?
"That's right, it's what you were thinking of." Dumbledore nodded and said, "I sealed the bottle with magic, it won't escape easily, don't worry."
"But it's dangerous." Rove hesitated.
The old man glanced at the black suitcase in the boy's hand, and said with a smile: "No matter how dangerous it is, can it be more dangerous than your suitcase?"
"..."
