Chapter 588: The Lord of Azkaban - Ekrizdis!!! (I)
Hogwarts Express,
10 minutes to Hogsmeade Station
Harry, Ron, and Black had been having the best time of their lives.
A few minutes before, Ron had mentioned the Gringotts incident, telling the boys what he had heard from his father. However, the Daily Prophet hadn't published anything related to the exact details of what had actually occurred in the depths under the Wizarding Bank.
So, when Harry whispered how he and Hagrid had been at the center of it all, the moment became one of the most interesting times spent telling a tale.
It wasn't a heroic or adventurous tale, but that only made it even more special as the stakes involved were much crueler, higher, and truer in a sense.
For a few minutes, the boys had then brooded over what could be the object that the dark wizard had come to steal.
Ron, being Ron, jumped over to the topic of Quidditch when they couldn't think of anything.
Neither Harry nor Black had any experience with the wizarding sport. So, Ron kept going deeper and deeper, detailing everything about Quidditch, how it had 7 players on one side and 4 balls, the international teams, etc.
Suddenly, following a feeling bubbling in his heart, Black took out the Daily Prophet.
"You read newspaper?!" Ron asked, shocked.
