When Fish and Hermione returned to the Gryffindor common room after playing outside, Harry, Ron and Neville were still working on their homework.

This is normal, because only fifth grade students have the heaviest academic workload.

Seamus and Dean were nowhere to be seen, and I don't know if they had already finished it or if they chose to go back to the dormitory to continue their homework.

"You haven't finished your homework yet, meow?"

(?ΦwΦ?)?

Maomao greeted the three of them with a bit of schadenfreude.

Ron raised his head: "Fish, Hermione! Help us!"

Among the three, he had the most homework left... After knowing that his brothers would buy him a new broomstick, his mind kept wandering and he couldn't calm down to do his homework.

Harry, on the other hand, was troubled by the weird dream at night and the pain in his scar, so his homework completion was not very high.

As for Neville's reason, it's more funny... He is actually one of the few boys who completed all his homework early, but he forgot the Defense Against the Dark Arts homework, if Seamus hadn't reminded him before going to bed.

, Neville thought he had finished all his homework.

Although the reason is ridiculous, it is indeed something Neville can do.

"It's not good to copy homework, meow."

(??v?v??)

Feixu righteously rejected Ron's request for help.

The reason for rejection is also very simple...

He himself was being watched by Professor McGonagall and Hermione and was not allowed to copy his homework. How could he lend his homework to others to copy!

"Who told you to leave your homework to the end!" Hermione began to lecture habitually.

The expression on Ron's face fell instantly. He would not have asked them for help if he had known better. He didn't copy his homework and had to be read over by Hermione...

Big loss.

Neville's lips trembled slightly, wanting to defend himself, but under Hermione's overwhelming momentum, he swallowed back his words of defense.

"Meow?"

(°w°≡°w°)

While the three Harrys were being lectured by Hermione with grimaces, Fish shrugged his nose and looked around.

"What's the matter, Fisch?"

Harry asked quickly. In fact, he was not that curious, he just wanted to interrupt Hermione's murmuring.

"Little..." Maomao glanced at Neville and changed his words: "Did you have a cold, meow? Fish can smell his scent...even though it's very faint."

Harry and the others were shocked. After looking around, they began to exchange glances silently.

Only Neville, who was out of the situation, was confused: "Who is the cold?"

"Uh... it's a dog that used to live in the Forbidden Forest." Harry replied half-seriously: "Maybe someone met him in the Forbidden Forest and brought the smell back?"

Neville had no doubts, after all, the name Cold was indeed very similar to the name a dog would give, so he nodded and continued to write his homework.

Fish originally wanted to say something, but Hermione gave him a subtle nudge with her elbow, and then he obediently shut his mouth.

"Forget it, I see how pitiful you are," Hermione shook her head helplessly and said, "Let me help you, but I won't lend you my homework to copy."

Originally, she was too lazy to care about these guys who deserved it, but the current situation was that Neville had to be sent away before they could continue the discussion.

Neville had the least amount of homework left, and this semester's Defense Against the Dark Arts class was all about theory, so Hermione quickly helped him finish the paper assigned by Umbridge.

When Neville left, Hermione immediately took out her wand and cast a soundproofing spell.

"What's going on? Has Sirius come?" she asked urgently.

"No..." Harry and Ron looked confused, shook their heads and said, "We have never seen him at all."

The three of them all turned their attention to Fei Xu.

"Fish doesn't know either!"

⊙w⊙

Maomao also had a confused look on his face, "Fish just smelled Sirius' scent... Meow that wasn't there before Hermione and I left."

"Fireplace!" Harry suddenly remembered that Sirius came to chat with him through the fireplace last semester. He suddenly looked at the fire nearby and guessed: "He should have taken a look through the fireplace and found the lounge.

There were too many people there so we left.”

"But...this is wrong..."

(??w??)?

Fish scratched his head and questioned: "Didn't Minerva say that the Floo Network is being monitored by the Ministry of Magic, so he can't use the fireplace to come to Sirius's house? On the other hand, he can't use the fireplace at home to come, right?"

Then he came closer to the fireplace and sniffed. He changed the shape of a cat's nose and a cat's mouth, and opened his mouth to feel it. Then he said uncertainly: "But... it seems that the smell around here is indeed stronger."

A little bit thicker..."

Because of the charcoal fire, the smell left by Sirius was too much covered up, so Fish couldn't determine the specific situation.

"We'll find out after we wait here," Hermione said: "If Sirius really came through the Floo network to find Harry, then he should come over again... You two, give me

Go back and do your homework! Fish and I are here!"

Seeing that Harry and Ron seemed to want to stay by the fireplace, Hermione snapped without hesitation.

Ron was very persuaded and ran back to catch up on his homework, but Harry turned back three times and took a long time to get back to his position to do his homework. He also raised his head to look at the fireplace from time to time.

After about twenty minutes like this, a man's head suddenly appeared in the flames of the fireplace in the common room.

"Sirius!" Harry, who had been paying attention here, immediately dropped the quill in his hand and rushed over.

"Ah... good evening..." Sirius, who emerged from the firelight, responded in a daze.

To be honest, he was shocked. After all, as soon as he poked his head out of the fireplace, he saw a pair of big green eyes staring at him. No matter who he was, he would be nervous, let alone these big eyes.

The master once gave him a severe beating...

"Why can you use Floo, meow!"

?(?ΦДΦ?)?

Before Harry could catch up with his godfather, Fish started yelling dissatisfied.

"During the summer vacation, Fish wanted to use the fireplace to go home but was rejected, meow! Didn't I mean that the Ministry of Magic would find out meow?!"

"Ah... this..." Sirius explained fluently after a moment of panic: "Because I just looked at it for a few seconds every hour and didn't really pass by the fireplace. This is not the case.

Found out by the Ministry of Magic."

"what about now?"

(??v?v??)

Feixu is unyielding.

"I'm not coming over now, I'm just sticking my head out to see if I'm in the wrong place. This won't attract the attention of the Ministry of Magic." Sirius replied with a smile, looking confident.

"Is this really true?" Hermione looked at him suspiciously, and then said, "I will confirm with Professor McGonagall later."

The expression on Sirius's face froze for a moment, and then before anyone else could react, he returned to his indifferent look and continued to smile: "Of course it's no problem, Hermione, you are really attentive.

girl."

Hermione was also fooled by his appearance and nodded without saying anything else.

However, this could not be hidden from the cat with excellent eyes. Fish pointed at the head in the fire and said firmly: "You are lying, meow!"
