There is no day or night in Azkaban, the only embellishment is the roar of the prisoners every morning. Indicating a new day has arrived.
It didn't take long for Cyrus to tire of newspaper crossword puzzles, which were a waste of time even in Azkaban. If you have this much free time. It would be better to practice more magic. These days, he has become more and more proficient in the Patronus Charm.
The short-term freedom and happiness filled almost all his emotions, and the silver thread turned into a huge flying bird, an eagle, before his eyes!
After Sirius left Azkaban, the number of Dementors remaining in Azkaban Prison became much smaller. Fudge used them as manpower to search for signs of Sirius, but unfortunately, this plan was doomed to begin with.
But for Cyrus, that's a good thing.
After the number of Dementors was reduced sharply, their impact on the climate near Azkaban was also reduced. The dark clouds seemed to be a little thinner, and sometimes there were even a few weak rays of sunlight.
Soon, the deadline for the second full moon is approaching.
A big black dog suddenly rushed up to the shore, shaking off the wet water droplets on its fur. There is also a small cloth bag in its mouth.
Sirius glanced upwards with his round eyes. The hateful bunch of Dementors were still flying aimlessly in the sky, showing no interest in a black dog like him. However, he still moved cautiously towards the gray tower.
After passing through many prisoners' cells, Sirius finally found Cyrus in the deepest part.
He passed through the iron bars and transformed back into his human form in front of Cyrus. He looked the same as before not long ago, except for a change of clothes, but he was still dirty and unkempt, and his hair was even greasier than Snape's.
"You finally were free after a long time, but you still didn't know how to clean yourself up?" Cyrus took a step back in disgust, pointed at Sirius, and cast a cleaning spell.
In an instant, the stench on the dirty homeless man's body disappeared immediately, revealing a thin face that didn't look so healthy.
"I didn't have that much time. Besides, the waterproof spell you cast on me last time is of no use at all. It was ineffective immediately after leaving the prison." Sirius threw the bag to Cyrus, and he wished he could do it now, that is, to Return immediately. Anyway, he has done everything according to his oath.
"This is because Dumbledore's magic locked my magic in this cell." Cyrus said, "I believe you don't mind doing me another favor?"
"What?" Sirius did not refuse directly, but looked at Cyrus in confusion. In fact, he was also very curious about what Cyrus asked Malfoy to bring. The fear that Malfoy showed when he heard the name "Tom Riddle" also made Sirius very surprised.
But due to his oath, he couldn't inquire about anything related to Cyrus.
At this time, Cyrus took out the contents from the small bag that had been cast with the Invisible Stretching Charm - a wand, a Nimbus 2000, a small transparent bottle, a bottle of dew, and.. The most outrageous thing about the pupa of the Grimace Hawkmoth is that Malfoy even thoughtfully prepared a small bottle of Felix Felicis.
The transparent glass bottle contains a few drops of golden potion.
Now, Sirius knew what the other party wanted to do.
"Are you planning to practice Animagus here?" he asked with a ridiculous look on his face.
Animagus is not an easy transformation. Generally speaking, in order to practice Animagus, a wizard may need to prepare for a long time, some even for several years. Not to mention in a harsh environment like Azkaban.
"What's wrong? Is there any problem?" Cyrus first picked up the wand and looked at it carefully. He quickly figured out that the wand was made of yew wood and the core was phoenix feathers.
Malford custom-made a wand made of the same material as the wand Voldemort used before, but Cyrus felt that it was not as smooth as the one he remembered. Of course, for a powerful wizard like him, unless it is some special wand, there is no big difference.
"Of course, there is a problem! Moonlight, how are you going to solve it?"
"That's why I want you to help me." Cyrus spat out the mandrake blade that had been in his mouth for a month, protected it with magic, and then pulled out a piece of his hair and placed them together. Everything was handed over to Sirius now.
"I could have thought of a way to break through the clouds with these things on my own, but Dumbledore's magic restricted me, and my spell couldn't leave the cage. But you can." Cyrus looked at him and continued, "In exchange, I can give you another piece of information."
"You have something to do with Peter Pettigrew that you are hiding from me?"
"Not Peter Pettigrew, but your brother, ...Regulus Black."
Sirius fell into a brief silence, with surprise and a little sadness on his face, but it was soon replaced by a sneer, and he said sarcastically:
"Regulus? Why do I need to know about that coward—why do I need to know about a filthy Death Eater? I don't want to know at all what stinky corner he died in!"
"But what if he is not a coward? He is just a child who accidentally went astray, but returned." Cyrus looked into Sirius's eyes and said softly, "He is actually a hero. And more importantly, he also holds the key to destroying the mysterious man.
"What an irony, isn't it? The well-known war hero 'Pettigrew' is actually just a traitor who betrayed his friends, yet the man who was always thought to be a loyal follower of 'You-Know-Who' is actually a true hero."
"What are you talking about!? Do you even know anything about him!?"
"At least I know your brother better than you do."
Sirius was speechless for a moment. He had been at odds with his family when he was a child, and had already defected to the Potter family before he graduated. He really didn't understand his submissive brother at all, and he never cared about him. He just remembers that the other person was always proud of being a pure-blooded wizard, and the heir to the Black family that his mother, who hates Muggles, is most proud of.
They were not that close to each other when they were in school, and they parted ways immediately after graduation.
Today someone actually told him that his brother - a Death Eater - was actually an unknown hero?
But what concerned him more was what Cyrus said was "the key to eliminating the mysterious man."
Didn't they make so many sacrifices more than ten years ago just to eliminate the mysterious man?
Sirius couldn't say no, in fact he wasn't going to say no in the first place.
Cyrus had done him a great favor by telling him about Peter Pettigrew and Harry's situation. What happened with Regulus could only be an unexpected surprise to him.
As for the mysterious Cyrus himself? Although Sirius was still very curious, he could at least be sure that the other party was not one of Voldemort's group, and that was enough.
