Phoenix Messenger

Sirius was momentarily tongue-tied and did not think much of the purchase, only wondering if Harry would be happy.

"This is wonderful…" Harry said suddenly.

'What?' Before Sirius could react, Harry threw himself at him and hugged him.

"I mean your Firebolt, I love it, it's fantastic! It's the best present I've ever had!" Harry exclaimed, hugging Sirius, his voice choked with emotion.

In just one day, Harry's emotions were going up and down like he was on a roller coaster. He had just cleared up the misunderstanding when he found out that he had a godfather! A relative!

Harry was overjoyed, which meant that he would be able to move out of his nasty uncle's house.

It was almost something he dreamed about at night…

Sirius laughed and threw his arms around Harry, and the two soon moved on to talking about the past, mainly about Harry's mistreatment at the Dursley house!

For example, Vernon and Petunia kept him in a storeroom, wearing old clothes, occasionally punishing him for not eating dinner, and repeatedly preventing him from entering Hogwarts to study magic.

Then there's the insufferable, fat boy Dudley, who used to bully him and his friends at Muggle school…

"How dare they do this to you? Hasn't Dumbledore paid attention to your life since he sent you there?"

Sirius was furious when he found out about Harry's life experience, and swore that he would teach them a lesson once he was freed from this case!

Harry didn't care much for the past, but Sirius's words warmed his heart.

'Right, Sirius! Can I move in with you during the summer holidays this year?'

Harry asked expectantly, then quickly added as an idea occurred to him.

"Oh, I almost forgot. You've just escaped from Azkaban and have been disowned by your family. Perhaps you don't even have a house of your own. But never mind, we can always rent a room…"

In Harry's opinion, it would be better to wander than to live with the Dursleys, not to mention the fact that he had his parents' inheritance, which Sirius could share with him at the Leaky Cauldron.

'No… no need for that, Harry! I have my own place, a big, big house, and I'm not short of money, otherwise how could I buy you a Firebolt?' Sirius laughed.

Although he was expelled from the House of Black, he was the first heir to the title and had the right to control all of the family's properties, as all of his other living members were witches and were either married off or imprisoned in Azkaban.

It was more money than he and Harry could spend in several lifetimes…

"That's great!" said Harry, jumping for joy.

Sirius was equally pleased, and he was thinking of a better life ahead of him, and the hardships he had endured seemed less difficult to accept…

Ivan, who was watching from the sidelines, knew that Harry and Sirius's plan was going to fail, as Dumbledore would never allow Harry to move.

This was because by staying close to his loved ones, Harry was able to strengthen the protective spell that Lily had cast to prevent Voldemort from harming him.

Ivan didn't dampen their spirits by telling them now, and it would be nice to keep Harry and Sirius happy for a few days…

As the evening wore on, Harry and the others decided to invite Sirius to sleep in their dormitory.

'That won't do, Sirius will have to go to the staffroom and keep an eye on Peter, in case he gets away!' Before Sirius could reply, Ivan interrupted Harry with a shake of his head.

"I'm sorry, Harry! Your Professor Dumbledore told me to do as I was told in the break room…" Sirius shrugged helplessly.

Sirius was not surprised by Dumbledore's order, as he suspected that Dumbledore intended to groom Ivan as his heir.

After all, Ivan's magical talent and adaptability were impressive to Sirius, which was unusual for a thirteen-year-old wizard… even for him.

Even Dumbledore and You-Know-Who may not have been this good in their youth…

Sirius lamented to himself,

Harry, on the other hand, looked disappointed. He had hoped to spend more time with Sirius in the dormitory before he went to bed.

'There's plenty of time, Harry!' Sirius saw Harry's reluctance and laughed heartily. 'We can talk tomorrow, we see each other every day!'

Harry nodded, understanding that the most important thing now was to keep Peter under control, and said nothing more.

Yvonne was relieved to see that the pair were sensible.

Letting Sirius spy on Peter was just an excuse; Ivan had arranged for Dobby to keep an eye on Peter.

Considering Dobby's limited intelligence and the possibility of being duped, Ivan ordered him to administer a Stunning Spell every two hours, ensuring that Peter would never wake up.

There was no way Peter was going to get away with this. He had sent Sirius away because he might have to do something late at night. Sirius was not as easy to fool as Harry and Ron!

By the time Sirius left the Gryffindor Lounge, Ivan, having thought of a follow-up plan, excused himself from Harry and the others and headed to the Headmaster's office, using the excuse that Dumbledore was looking for him.

"A cockroach pile!"

As Ivan read the password to enter the Headmaster's office, the door to the passageway slowly opened.

Ivan strode into the Headmaster's office and retrieved Dumbledore's letter from the central desk drawer. He carefully placed his wand against the blank letter and slowly infused it with magic.

Faint ink began to emerge from the parchment, and lines began to gather into words.

It was written in Dumbledore's handwriting, and even the contents were self-polished and explained in Dumbledore's usual tone.

"What a convenient and dangerous piece of magic…" Ivan exclaimed at the sight, thinking that if anyone else got their hands on the letter, they would be able to use Dumbledore's identity to their advantage…

However, there are some shocking news and outrageous suggestions that must be delivered by Fawkes the Phoenix in order to be 100% certain it is from Dumbledore…

After all, Dumbledore was the only one in the wizarding world who could use a phoenix as a messenger!
