Chapter 138: News

Arthur introduced his gift to Harry,

"Bart."

Arthur called out, and Bart appeared by his side.

"Take Harry to Devonshire and prepare a guest room for him."

"Yes, master."

Bart replied and then looked at Harry.

"Mr. Potter, please hold my hand, and I will take you to the master's mansion."

"Oh, alright."

Harry, feeling a bit confused by Arthur's birthday gift, instinctively followed the elf's instructions.

And just like that, they disappeared from the spot.

"Alright, Furry, it's time for us to get to work."

As Harry left, Arthur shifted his attention and whispered to Furry.

The reason Arthur let Sirius Black go so easily was because Harry was close by and made it hard for him to do anything.

However, he had secretly cast a tracking spell, so he could easily find out where Sirius Black was.

Soon, Arthur found Sirius Black sitting on a lawn all by himself.

When Arthur and Furry suddenly appeared, Sirius Black, who was still in his dog form, tensed up and crouched a little, ready to attack at any moment.

Arthur shook his head at Sirius Black's nervous appearance.

"Sirius Black, I'm not here to send you to Azkaban. You don't need to be so nervous."

But Sirius remained unaffected and continued to keep his distance from Arthur. He couldn't understand why this young wizard recognized his identity at a glance.

Sirius Black was a little worried as he carefully watched Furry fly through the air. Without a wand, it was hard to fight a phoenix.

"I'm here to make a deal with you about a rat. Oh, yeah, his name is Peter Pettigrew."

When Sirius Black heard the name, Peter Pettigrew, his eyes shrank.

He then slowly walked up to Arthur while keeping his dog form, as if he wanted to hear what Arthur had to say next.

But when he was close to Arthur's feet, he suddenly jumped and pounced on him.

"Stupefy!"

A piercing red light struck Sirius, and he felt everything go black as he lost consciousness.

"It's really annoying. Gryffindor's lion is reckless and hard to talk to."

Arthur sighed in frustration. He had clearly stated his intentions, yet Sirius Black insisted on attacking him. Arthur could only calm him down for now.

Looking at Sirius, who was still in dog form and not changing back, Arthur disdainfully nudged his body with his foot before disappearing into his own home.

...

Sirius slowly opened his eyes, and the bright light made him feel a little dizzy. He jumped up and quickly looked around.

Beautiful windows, a deep brown wardrobe, and a very nice bed where he was lying.

Sirius couldn't quite wrap his head around why he was here. Yesterday, he was...

"Come out when you are awake!"

A voice from outside the door interrupted Sirius's thoughts, but he also remembered what happened last night.

He was actually knocked down by a young wizard...

At that moment, Arthur was enjoying his afternoon tea. When he saw Sirius enter, he waved his hand, gesturing for him to sit down.

"You probably haven't eaten anything since escaping from Azkaban. First, eat something, and then we'll talk about other things."

Without hesitation, Sirius realized that he had been out for a long time and that if Arthur had wanted to hurt him, he would have already done it.

There was no need to go to the trouble of poisoning him.

He took a pie from the table and ate it all over the place.

Arthur was sitting nearby and reading the Daily Prophet for today.

It was some news about Sirius Black. The Ministry of Magic had offered a reward of ten-thousand Galleons for his capture.

After finishing all the goods on the table and drinking a pot of tea, Sirius Black finally stopped and felt satisfied.

It had been three days since his escape from Azkaban.

During these days, he had to stay in his Animagus form as a dog to avoid being caught by wizards.

Then he had to fight with stray dogs for food from garbage cans when he was hungry.

He hadn't eaten much normal food in a long time because he had been in Azkaban for over a decade.

Glancing at Arthur, Sirius noticed that Arthur happened to be reading news about him.

Sirius sneered, "Kid, I remember you saying yesterday that you weren't here to catch me, yet today, you can't wait to find out how much I'm worth in Galleons, right?"

Although Sirius was easily taken down with one move yesterday, he thought it was because of his own carelessness.

He didn't expect this classmate of Harry's to have the ability to perform wandless magic.

But things were different today.

He had just eaten a lot and had a good rest.

He was full of energy and refused to believe that, with his experience of fighting Death Eaters in the past, he couldn't defeat a student.

Arthur ignored Sirius' sarcastic remarks and instead pointed at below Sirius' reward, looking serious.

"I actually didn't read your wanted poster, but rather this piece of news below it."

Following Arthur's finger, Sirius's face immediately darkened.

"Shocking: A 25-Year-Old Wizard Cheats on Wife, Gets Genitals Blasted by Blasting Curse."

"..."

"Kid, if you want to humiliate me, then there's no need for us to talk."

Sirius was embarrassed and angry, so he wanted to fight Arthur directly.

If he hadn't been waiting for Arthur to tell him something about Peter Pettigrew, he would have already moved.

Arthur shook his head. He had truly become obsessed with the weird news on these in the Daily Prophet.

Wizards starving and secretly cooking their neighbors' plump chickens, two wizards dueling and injuring themselves with their own spells...

Arthur was astonished by how big and full of joy the world was.

In these past few days, Arthur was so interested in the paper that he couldn't stop reading it.

He even buys a copy of Luna's "The Quibbler," showing some support for the young witch family's career.

"Levicorpus!"

Arthur softly chanted the spell, which caught Sirius by surprise.

Sirius was thrown away and ended up hanging upside down on the door.

"Alright, let's have a talk now."

Arthur casually put down the newspaper and smiled gently at Sirius.
