Putting aside Neville's bad luck, Sirius Black who sneaked out of the castle really felt that he was very unlucky.
Worst case scenario!
I tried my best to come to Hogwarts, and was almost beaten to death by a three-headed dog, and finally slipped into the Gryffindor dormitory, but Peter Pettigrew had already escaped?
So hasn't he been wasting his time all this time? !
But after leaving Hogwarts, where should he go to find Peter Pettigrew?
Sirius has not forgotten that he is still wanted by the Ministry of Magic. If he dares to show up to inquire about Peter's whereabouts, he will only be sent back to Azkaban
Or directly sucked the soul by the dementor.
Sure enough, I still want to contact Lupine
Sirius was still hesitating in his heart.
Contacting Lupine itself is not difficult, just go to the Shrieking Shack through the secret passage under the Whomping Willow during the full moon and wait, or leave a message inside or something.
And although Lupine is a werewolf, he has always been the calmest and most tolerant of the robbers. Sirius believed that if he really found him, the other party would definitely give him a chance to explain.
Although I don't want to involve my old friend again, Sirius Black has no better way now.
It is a little regretful that the full moon has not passed long, and if he wants to contact Lupine, he will have to wait until next month. But now that things are in this situation, Sirius doesn't care about waiting for a while.
After making up his mind, Sirius thought for a while, and ran directly in the direction of the Whomping Willow. Of course, he didn't intend to wait for Lupine's arrival in the Screaming Shack. Lupine left a message, by the way, to give him a time to calm down and think.
Just as Sirius slipped into the Shrieking Shack, Hogwarts started another search, and Fish, like the last time, joined the search team.
However, the result was the same as last time, and no one found anything.
"Damn meow!" The kitten who found nothing angrily waved its fists, and said solemnly: "If Fish hadn't gone to the Forbidden Forest tonight, Black wouldn't have had the chance to escape meow!"
?(?`wˇä?)?
"Hehehe," Dumbledore stroked his beard and smiled, coaxing the kitten and said, "Maybe Black dared to break into Gryffindor's dormitory because you were not there."
He does not mean that.
Fish was slightly taken aback, and suddenly said: "Yes! How did he know that I am not in the dormitory? Fish rarely goes to the Forbidden Forest recently!"
? ˇĆ(?¦µ§Ą¦µ?)
Because of the freezing weather and the absence of Black, Fish has greatly reduced the frequency of going to play in the Forbidden Forest recently, and after Black picked up Neville's note, he immediately knew that he was not in the dormitory. What a coincidence.
Fish quickly expressed his doubts.
Almost all the professors showed strange expressions, and several professors subconsciously looked at Professor Lupine. Although they quickly looked away, they couldn't hide it from Fisher.
And Snape even showed such an expression: "I said it a long time ago!"
He growled at Dumbledore in a low voice, but looked at Lupine aside.
"I told you a long time agothe school has Blake's internal support!"
Snape stared at the pale Lupine, gritted his back molars, and said every word.
"Severus," Dumbledore frowned, "I trust Remus."
"Yeah, you still believed in Black before, didn't you?" Snape sneered, he didn't intend to compromise this time.
The surrounding professors all let out an exclamation, as if they were dissatisfied with Snape's disrespectful headmaster's behavior, and Professor Lupine's face turned even paler.
There was no expression on Dumbledore's face, he just silently looked at Snape with his blue eyes through his half-moon glasses, and Snape looked at him fearlessly.
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense, and even Fish, the little fur cat, sensed that something was wrong, grabbed Professor McGonagall's arm vigorously, and looked nervously at Dumbledore and Snape.
|?v?v??)
"We can use Veritaserum." After being silent for a long time, Snape finally backed down a step. He lowered his eyes slightly and said, "I have a stock of it. I only need three drops. Know Lupine the endIs it Blake's accomplice. "
"Veritaserum is not completely effective, Occlumency can make it ineffective, I think you should understand this very well, Severus."
Dumbledore rejected Snape's offer.
"Of course, but I can try to disable his Occlumency, Mr. Dumbledore."
Snape still refused to give up. As a master of potions and Occlumency, he has indeed done some research in this area
As for the excessive means of this method and the fact that it has not been actually operated, Snape deliberately ignored it.
"I won't agree with you, Severus." Dumbledore showed a trace of anger, and with his level of knowledge, he can probably guess what Snape used, "We can't just because of nothing Treat your companions the same way you treat criminals!"
"Companion?" Snape laughed, "A werewolf?"
"Enough! Severus!"
Professor McGonagall finally couldn't help it, and stepped forward to stop Snape from being rude to Dumbledore.
"Professor Lupine doesn't know that Fish is not in the dormitory tonight!"
"UhActually, I know" Lupine said sarcastically, "When Fish was going out, I happened to bump into him."
However, he still defended himself: "But after that, I went back to my office, and I didn't have a chance to send news to Black. The portrait in the corridor can testify to me Ah, yes, and Peeves , I ran into him on my way back, and he was putting glue on the doorknob of Mr. Filch's office."
"Heh, who knows if there is any special connection between you and Black." Snape sneered disdainfully.
"I think Professor Lupine is unlikely to be Black's internal support." Professor Flitwick also stood on Dumbledore's side. He did not favor Lupine, but said based on his own analysis: "As a professor, Lupine Ping, there are too many opportunities to do something to Potter, but he didn't do anything, did he?"
The other professors were also persuaded by Lu Ping's unrestrained performance and Professor Flitwick's analysis. They dispelled the few doubts they had, and spoke up for Lu Ping one after another.
"Hmph!" Seeing that he failed to win over any supporters, Snape snorted coldly, and shook off his sleeves with an ugly face, "Just wait until Potter dies at the hands of Black, and you just don't regret it!"
After speaking, he left without looking back.
"Everyone go back to rest first" Dumbledore squeezed the space between his brows tiredly, "Remus, don't take Severus' words to heart."
"Of course, Headmaster," Lupine shrugged and said with a wry smile, "I've been used to it for a long time."
After all the professors had left, Fish carefully tugged on Professor McGonagall's sleeve.
"Minerva, what the hell is going on with Severus and Lupine? Why does he insist that Lupine is helping Black? Just because he's a werewolf?"
(??w??)?
"Don't ask too much about this." Professor McGonagall doesn't like talking about others behind their backs, so she hesitated for a while, and instead of telling Fish about the grievances between Snape and Lupine, she sent him back to sleep , "Hurry up and go back to the dormitory, there is still class tomorrow."
"If you don't say it, don't say it, Fish will ask Severus tomorrow, meow!"
?(ˇ¨'3'ˇ¨)?
It is not the first time that the little skin cat who was demolished by crossing the river angrily made a face at Professor McGonagall, and then ran back to the dormitory.
Professor McGonagall didn't take it seriously
Considering Snape's awkward personality, how could he tell Fish about this
