Hermione Is the GOAT Forever!
As the first person to escape from Azkaban, Black gained considerable fame.
Within the British Isles, he is undoubtedly a household name and a legendary figure, second only to Voldemort in terms of fame.
This is quite a dramatic thing.
He was imprisoned in Azkaban for many years without gaining much fame, but after his escape, he gradually became a symbolic figure among Death Eaters.
When people mention Death Eaters, the first thing that comes to mind is Voldemort, followed by Black.
Even the notorious Bellatrix doesn't have much prestige and needs to step back.
He had become the number two figure among the Death Eaters.
Industry insiders even respectfully call him: Little Black!
Dark wizards also revered him as the successor to the Dark Lord's great cause!
They all eagerly anticipated that after his escape from prison, Black would become the third Dark Lord, lead the heroes, and complete the unfinished work of his great mentor, Voldemort!
If I had to describe this situation, it would be something like this: Ten years in prison, no one cares; one escape, and the world knows!
Everyone was incredibly interested in Black's escape method, especially the dark wizards.
He could end up in jail any day now. If he knew how to escape Azkaban beforehand, he could break out of prison later.
Many dark wizards even display black-and-white photos of Black in their homes, enshrining them as memorial portraits.
Every time he went out to kill or commit arson, he would pray to the photo, asking the spirit of Black to protect him... and make sure he wasn't caught by the Auror.
This is an incredibly powerful influence; it has even gone viral beyond its original niche.
Even wizards across the ocean in United States are looking for Muggle to make a movie to commemorate this momentous event.
The movie is currently in pre-production, a British-American co-production, and will be released next September. It's called "The Shawshank Redemption"!
They're really good at riding the wave of popularity.
However, in their view, winning an award is irrelevant; the key is being... inspiring!
There are many theories about how Black escaped.
There are two main theories, both related to William.
Or rather, it's related to his illegal arrest and imprisonment of the Little Black Robe.
Rita wrote over a dozen reports, using flowery language to describe the unspeakable secrets of Black and the Dementor.
It seems that all these years, Black has done nothing but seduce Dementor in Azkaban.
She also subtly implied that Black and the missing Dementor had a daughter!
Her series of reports undoubtedly caused a great sensation, with everyone expressing varying degrees of concern about the purity of the Dementor team.
Fudge, however, insisted that it was all a France conspiracy.
Yes, it's all France's fault!
The French Ministry of Magic helped Black escape from prison and also captured Dementor, intending to breed them.
Just to sabotage next year's Quidditch World Cup!
As a bystander who knows the truth, William certainly knows that both of these claims are nonsense.
But he still couldn't figure out how Black had escaped from prison and how he had evaded the Dementor ' pursuit.
Hermione, however, believes she has discovered the truth.
"Black is definitely an Animagus, he can turn into a black dog, he is— Dahei!"
Hermione resolutely blocked the railway.
"That's impossible!" Anne retorted. "If Black were Animagus, everyone would know."
I checked the records... There are only eight Animagus this century, including my brother, and Black's name isn't on the list."
"What if he's an illegal Animagus?" Hermione analyzed calmly.
"Anne, think about it. Since Black was an undercover agent for You-Know-Who, he betrayed the Potters at a crucial moment."
If he had learned the Animagus, he would definitely have kept it a secret.
Am I right, William?
William nodded slightly; he knew Hermione was hinting at Rita.
Rita is an illegal Animagus who transforms into a beetle and searches for materials everywhere.
"But..." Anne thought for a moment and couldn't help but retort, "If Dahei really Black, and he's a Death Eaters, why didn't he hurt us?"
"That's because..." Hermione drawled.
He unexpectedly encountered three young wizards in France, who were also students of Hogwarts.
He definitely wants to stay with us, evade the Dementor, and return safely to the United Kingdom.
"Think about it, Anne, do you remember that time at Biarritz Beach?"
A group of Dementor suddenly appeared and attacked us. They were the ones that had been tracking Black all along, even though Dahei was right next to us.
"But..." Anne was already somewhat convinced, but she still argued, "When Gabrielle and I were captured by the Werewolf, Dahei was still thinking about rescuing us."
Would a Death Eaters do such a thing?
"Yes, that's strange. Maybe he had a change of heart?" Hermione found herself unable to explain it.
"But think about it again, when have you ever seen an ordinary dog fight a Werewolf?"
This precisely proves Dahei's abnormality.
"I think you're right, Hermione." William looked into Hermione's eyes and asked softly, "When did you realize something was wrong?"
Seeing that William agreed with her opinion, Hermione was overjoyed and said:
"A Christmas present! I didn't suspect anything before, but a gift sent to us anonymously is a big red flag."
"He gave you all flying brooms, but he gave me Invisibility Cloak."
I've been wondering why our gifts are different?
Why did he give a broom and Invisibility Cloak, instead of some other gift?
William understood in a flash.
He replied, "That's because Anne's broom broke, and I happen to like playing Quidditch."
Since you don't like Quidditch, he didn't send you a broom.
As for why it's Invisibility Cloak...
I taught you the Disillusionment Charm during the summer vacation, but you didn't learn it.
"It's not that I didn't learn it, it's just... well, it's easy for people to find out." Hermione blushed and gave William a light, reproachful glare.
During the summer vacation, William taught Hermione the Disillusionment Charm in order to escape the pursuit of the France Auror.
Later, when the Dementor attacked, William taught her the Patronus Charm.
Hermione only learned the Patronus Charm; her attempt at the Disillusionment Charm was a failure, as even Anne could see her.
"When I demonstrated the Disillusionment Charm, besides the three of us, only Dahei was present," Hermione said softly.
"That's probably why he gave me the Invisibility Cloak."
Hermione continued her analysis, "If he had only given us three gifts, I wouldn't have realized he was Black."
But he also gave Harry Firebolt, so it could only be... Black.
William nodded. Hermione had discovered Dahei's identity from just a few details.
I have to say, Hermione is forever amazing!
If Dahei is Black, this could explain many puzzling things.
for example:
Why did Dahei run away instead of staying in Fluffy's valley?
He was probably afraid that William and Hermione would notice something was wrong.
Why did he hide with Mopsy the Dog Lover?
Because across the street is Honeydukes, and there's a secret passage in the cellar leading to Hogwarts.
William couldn't help but clap and laughed, "Hermione, I told you... you're the smartest witch I've ever met, haven't you?"
"I already said that! You said it in Paris!" Hermione stuck out her tongue playfully.
"That's nothing, it's easy to figure out," Hermione exclaimed cheerfully, clearly pleased with herself.
William didn't discover the truth, but she figured it out much faster! This gave her a great sense of accomplishment!
"It seems we need to remind Professor Dumbledore."
William put away his fishing rod and poured the trout from the bucket back into the lake.
