Argus wasn't worried that Sirius would find out what he'd done at Black's old house.
Anyway, with Draco's face on his back, even if they wanted to investigate, they wouldn't find anything.
As for implicating Draco, that's even less likely.
Anyone with a brain can see that Draco has no ability to unleash Avada Kedavra in his first year!
Moreover, with Lucius in the lead, who would dare to easily wrong the young master of the Malfoy family?
"I'd like to see how Dumbledore explains things to Sirius when he finally turns the tables."
"Let's catch Peter Pettigrew before Sirius is ready and sell him for a good price."
"The book collection in the Black mansion must contain many good things!"
It's worth noting that one of the headmasters of Hogwarts was a member of the Black family.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Black family is one of the most prestigious and powerful families in the magical world.
If it weren't for the fact that one of the two heirs died and the other was imprisoned, they would never have ended up in this situation.
"I wonder if Peter Pettigrew is still with Ron."
"Even if they were there, it would probably be difficult for them to take action."
"Ron and Harry are at St. Mungo's Hospital, and there are quite a few people watching them. It would be too risky to sneak in and take Peter Pettigrew away."
"This matter needs to be planned carefully."
"And next school year, Dementors will enter Hogwarts and cause a lot of trouble."
"The Patronus Charm should also be put on the agenda..."
Argus had no intention of having the entire Slytherin House follow his lead in learning.
This spell itself is not very versatile; its main uses are resisting dark creatures and reducing the influence of Dark Arts.
But for most wizards, the avenues to come into contact with Dark Arts are extremely limited, let alone to study it in depth.
It's simply not worth spending a lot of time on something like this.
More importantly, it would be too conspicuous to let the entire Slytherin House practice so hastily.
Argus didn't want to be exposed; it was better to remain safe.
...
The next day.
After disappearing for nearly half a month, Dumbledore finally reappeared at Hogwarts.
On his way there, he learned about the recent events in the British magical community.
His already wrinkled brows were further accentuated by deep furrows.
"Albus, how's it going? Have you found a cure for Harry and Ron?"
Upon receiving the news, Professor McGonagall immediately rushed to the principal's office.
She asked eagerly.
Dumbledore nodded: "If nothing unexpected happens, Harry and Ron should recover in a while."
"That's good!" Professor McGonagall breathed a long sigh of relief.
However, she immediately put on a worried expression again.
"You know about the Ministry of Magic and Azkaban, right?"
Dumbledore rubbed his temples: "I will personally go to the Ministry of Magic to explain."
"We were too hasty in our preparations at the time, so it's possible that they could have found some leverage against us."
"As for Sirius... I will increase security around Harry."
"When Sirius Black was at Hogwarts, although he would cause trouble, he never..." Professor McGonagall's expression became complicated when Sirius was mentioned.
Back then, she was Sirius Black's professor and, like him, a member of the Order of the Phoenix.
Who would have thought that Sirius would side with Voldemort and betray Lily and James?
Even more unbelievable was that Sirius Black would hurt so many innocent Muggles!
"Many things are hard to explain."
Dumbledore sighed, seemingly lamenting for Sirius.
At that time, he was unaware that Sirius was being framed.
To be precise, no one except Argus and the two parties involved knew about it.
The only thing found on the streets where the Muggles were bombed back then was Peter Pettigrew's severed finger, and no one knew about their change of Secret-Keeper.
In addition, the Black family was already keen on pure-blood theory, and Sirius did not offer any rebuttal after his arrest.
Even Dumbledore could only conclude that Sirius betrayed the Order of the Phoenix, and betrayed James and Lily!
"Have you found someone to be the Hogwarts professor next year?"
"Professor of Care of Magical Creatures, Kettleburn, is about to retire, and Professor Slughorn, the Potions professor, is also getting old and can no longer handle long hours of teaching."
"Even with Mr. Grindelwald's help!"
"But Mr. Grindelwald is also a student who needs to attend classes and study. We cannot… delay his progress because of the school's mistake."
Mentioning these things, Dumbledore couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.
A series of recent events nearly crushed him.
The spine, which was originally quite straight, was showing signs of bending under the weight.
"Let's deal with things one by one. Let me finish dealing with the Ministry of Magic first, and then heal Harry and Ron."
"I'll find someone for the professor's job before the holiday ends."
"Minerva, could you please call Severus over here? I need to speak with him."
Professor McGonagall was aware of the frequent incidents at Hogwarts, so she didn't urge him further and turned to find Snape.
Upon entering, she saw Argus helping to process potions in Snape's office.
A look of worry appeared in her eyes: "Mr. Grindelwald, you are still young. There are some things you don't need to rush about."
"It's alright, Professor McGonagall, I'm used to it," Argus explained with a smile.
"As long as the time is planned well, there won't be any problems."
She sighed! Professor McGonagall was also helpless in the face of Argus's hard work.
This student was perfect in every way. If they really had to find a flaw, it would probably be that he worked too hard.
He worked so hard that even she was a little alarmed.
At the age when children are most playful, he could resist external temptations and always stick to his goals.
She had never seen such a student in all those years at Hogwarts.
With top-notch talent and extreme diligence, even she couldn't have imagined how far Argus would go in the future.
"Professor McGonagall, are you here to see Professor Snape?"
Argus guessed Professor McGonagall's purpose, put down the materials in his hand, and bowed slightly.
He turned to look at Snape.
"Professor, the materials have been almost processed. Professor Slughorn has a club activity tonight..."
Before he could finish speaking, Snape waved his hand impatiently, telling Argus to leave quickly.
Argus wasn't angry. He gave Professor McGonagall a polite smile and turned to leave the office.
Professor McGonagall spoke only after Argus had walked away.
"Severus, there's something I need to tell you."
"What is it?" Snape was brewing a potion and didn't even look up.
Professor McGonagall was already used to his behavior and could understand it.
The brewing of potions requires utmost care, especially for complex potions. A slight oversight can destroy a potion that has consumed a great deal of time and precious materials.
"I'll tell you after you've finished brewing it." Professor McGonagall wasn't in a hurry, worried that Snape might cause problems while brewing the potion.
Snape nodded.
About twenty minutes later, as the liquid in the cauldron turned a pale blue, Snape breathed a slight sigh of relief, poured the liquid into a small vial, and then looked at Professor McGonagall again.
"Speak, what is it?"
Professor McGonagall couldn't stand the pungent smell of the potion, so she tilted her head slightly away from the cauldron.
"Albus is back and wants you to come over."
"It seems to be related to Mr. Potter and... Sirius Black!"
