Chapter 185
Sirius Black's escape from prison is like a sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of most residents in the wizarding world, which has brought great troubles to their daily work and life. For Harry, This feeling is particularly profound.
In the first week of school, when Black escaped from the Ministry of Magic again, Hermione, who had been having trouble with Ron for a while because of Scabbers, always reminded him not to do anything. Anything risky, even Hagrid forbade him from going to him after dark.
The storm was still raging outside, and there was indeed a pure and flawless starry sky on the dome inside the auditorium. Harry turned over, not feeling much fear in his heart, but a sense of relief that the boots in mid-air had finally landed on the ground.
Hermione was explaining why Black couldn't disapparate and fly into Hogwarts, and Ron's brother, Percy, who was promoted to student council president this year, was walking hurriedly past the rows of sleeping bags , ordered the chattering little wizards to shut up and go to sleep.
The professors were busy searching the castle, and every hour, a professor hurried back to the auditorium to make sure nothing happened here.
At eleven o'clock in the evening, Professor Flitwick returned to the auditorium after checking the Ravenclaw dormitory. After confirming that it was still safe, Professor Flitwick did not leave immediately, but trotted to a group of Ravenclaws. Among the Wenclaw students, they squatted down and said something to a little wizard.
The curious Harry raised his head slightly and looked over there. After a few glances, he found that it was a Ravenclaw girl who was crying softly because of shock, and Professor Flitwick came down to comfort her.
The little witch looked a little bigger than them, with a gentle oriental face, and she was very beautiful, so Harry raised his head higher and looked at it a few more times.
The professors came and went in and out of the auditorium, but Professor Lupine was never seen. When we met during the day today, Professor Lupine told him that he would not attend the Halloween dinner, but would go to Hogsmeade to spend the holiday with a friend , but it stands to reason that Professor Lupine should also come back.
After a while, Dumbledore, who was also going to inspect the castle, walked in with a serious expression. His stern eyes wandered around, and he found Percy on patrol near Harry and the others, so he quickly approached .
"Professor, is there a clue to him?" Percy asked in a low voice.
"No, what's the situation here?"
"It's all right, sir," Percy replied earnestly.
While Dumbledore and Percy were exchanging some information, the door of the auditorium creaked open, and Snape, with a livid face, hurried over, bringing the same information that he found nothing.
"Have you ever considered how he got in, Headmaster Dumbledore?"
Percy was sent away, Harry pretended to sleep on his side, one of his ears looked like it was stuck to the pillow, but it was actually suspended, and Hermione, Ron, and Dean, basically The above is also a situation.
Professor Snape's sullen expression was the same as usual, but there was a clear fire in those dark eyes.
"There are many possibilities, but none of them stand up to scrutiny, Severus," Dumbledore's voice was very deep, and he said condescendingly, looking at Snape expressionlessly,
"Of course, if you have any brilliant ideas, I'd be happy to hear them."
The fire in Snape's eyes dissipated at once, replaced by deep resentment,
"It is indeed a trivial opinion, Principal Dumbledore, and, before the start of school, when you decided to hire that person, I also frankly told you about this possibility, and the current situation seems to confirm my guess ,Is it right?"
Dumbledore glanced at the little guys on the ground who were pretending to be asleep, and there was a stern warning in his blue eyes from behind the half-moon mirror frame,
"With all due respect, Severus, I don't see any connection between the current situation and the possibility you've mentioned."
Dumbledore's tone made it clear that he wanted the subject to end, but that didn't work, and instead angered Snape thoroughly.
That dark yellow cheek flushed within a few breaths, Snape's thin lips were tightened, and the anger lingering around him made Harry who was a few feet away couldn't help feeling a puff on his skin. Get tight.
"It happens to be tonight!"
Snape gritted his teeth and said,
"You think it's just a coincidence that Black broke into the castle as soon as he left, Dumbledore?"
The atmosphere became very tense, and many little wizards twisted unconsciously because of anxiety. Snape's appearance made many eavesdropping little wizards even worry that he would directly pull out his wand and meet Principal Dumbledore in the auditorium fight.
"He went to spend Halloween with friends, huh?"
Snape pressed on,
"Did you ask who his friend is, Dumbledore, I must say, an old friend!"
Strangely, facing Snape's questioning, Dumbledore did not order him to shut up. Instead, there was a strange light in his eyes. His silvery eyebrows moved, as if he was thinking about something.
"If you're really curious, Severus—"
After a long time, Dumbledore, who suddenly realized that Black's intrusion into Hogwarts Castle was a very good opportunity, frowned,
"We might as well go and see now. Anyway, I don't think Black will stay in the castle."
Snape's eyebrows twitched all of a sudden, and he stared at Dumbledore in surprise, suddenly not knowing what kind of trick this was.
"Come on, Severus, Fox will give us a ride."
Once he made up his mind, Dumbledore became vigorous and decisive. He gave an order to Professor McGonagall who came down the stairs, and after throwing a word to Snape, he walked up the stairs with vigorous steps.
The worried Professor McGonagall walked to the side where the Slytherin students were sleeping, and Harry, who had been suppressed for a long time, turned around swiftly, his green eyes full of confusion.
"Harry!"
Ron arched over like a Flobber caterpillar, and Neville, who was kicked by Hermione, reluctantly moved out of his position.
"Snape is suspecting that Professor Lupine helped Black, right, but how is this possible, what evidence does he have for thinking so!"
Ron's quick blink of an eye was evidence of his astonishment.
Although the relationship with Ron has not eased much, but hearing this, Hermione still gave her own opinion impatiently,
"Obviously, Ron, from the conversation between the two of them, we can know that Professor Lupine knows Black. Studied at Hogwarts, Professor Snape was probably there at that time, they all know each other!"
"Thank you, if you didn't remind me, I almost didn't react!"
Ron glared at Hermione and said bluntly.
"But what does that mean, Hermione?"
Although he was a bit annoyed by the fact that Professor Lupine and a bad bastard like Black had been classmates, Harry couldn't help defending Lupine, he lowered his voice and said
"Hagrid was a classmate with Voldemort!"
"But the point is,"
Hermione didn't look at Ron's provocative eyes, she said to Harry solemnly,
"From Professor Snape's words, we can know that there is a high probability that Black and Professor Lupine had a good relationship in the past, but later... I guess, it was probably because Black took refuge in the mysterious man that Professor Lupine parted ways with him. .But because of this, Professor Snape doesn't trust Professor Lupine."
"Then Snape should go back to his dormitory and take a good look in the mirror," Harry couldn't help sneering, "Maybe he had a much closer relationship with Voldemort than Black!"
Two months have passed since the start of school. Compared with the annoying Snape, what kind of person Professor Lupine is is obvious to all. Most young wizards think that Snape is just making use of the topic, and that Snape just resents Lupine. Pin took the seat he wanted, and no one really thought Professor Lupine would be the traitor who helped Black get into Hogwarts.
"but--"
After the discussion was over, Harry faced the mysterious starry sky and murmured in a voice only he could hear,
"Who did Professor Lupine go to see?"
