Chapter 183

What was the case with the attempted murder at the Screaming Shack? Ostensibly Sirius Black took advantage of the full moon to transform into a werewolf Remus Lupin in an attempt to bite Snape to death, but was saved by James Potter, who rushed to hear the news.

The story seems to be very simple, but if you think about it carefully, you will find the strangeness.

Judging from the past grudges between Black and Snape, the incident at the Screaming Shack was an important reason why the two men had formed a mortal feud. But before that, although the two of them didn't like each other, they didn't have a situation where they couldn't stop fighting, so why would Blake want to kill Snape first?

In the original book, Lupin recalls the scene during a conversation with Harry: he thought Sirius was just doing it for fun, and he took it lightly. Also in the original book, Snape and Harry have an exchange about the incident, when Snape says to Harry, "If it weren't for your pretentious father, I would have died." There is nothing commendable about what he did, he saved me and he saved himself, and if I die, he will be fired. "

Apparently, Snape believed that the mastermind behind the murder was not Sirius Black, but James Potter. So is Potter really the mastermind? Let's see if he has that motive.

The answer is yes.

Potter and Snape were rivals, and the kind of rivals who hated each other to the core. Considering the background of the times at that time: when Voldemort had risen and the wizarding world was in chaos, the positions of these two people were also very different. They are not only rivals in love, but also mortal enemies in position. There has never been much to say between the Order of the Phoenix and the Death Eaters, and when they meet, they have to tell the story of life and death.

The murder took place when they were in the fifth grade, and by that time the two of them were already familiar with each other, almost starting out on the spot, and in five years an idiot would know everything about their enemies. At the time, Snape's relationship with Lily was not so stiff, and Potter must have discovered that the relationship between his crush and his nemesis was not that of ordinary classmates. In love, in the position of good and evil, Potter's desire to kill Snape is completely explained.

The relationship between Potter and Snape was rivalry, and as some of Potter's best friends, did Blake and Lupin know?

Lupin has always been a good old man's character, and he can be with the mud, but he will never take care of things.

But Blake, Big Foot, he can wear a pair of pants with Mr. Pointed Fork. Whoever makes his half-brother feel bad, he will definitely not make the other party feel better.

It wasn't until the seventh grade when he was about to graduate that James Potter and Lily Evans established a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship, and at this time, Snape as a "1oser" obviously couldn't threaten Potter, and since he couldn't pose a threat, it didn't matter if he was killed or not. But don't forget, in the fifth or sixth grade, it was just in time for the so-called "side incident" in school, either for the mystery man or against him. James has already begun to pursue Lily, and Snape is his biggest rival, under the new hatred and old hatred, Potter's desire to kill Snape is already very sufficient, and as his "biological brother", how can Blake, as his "biological brother", not guess his thoughts? Besides, Blake is already extremely disgusted with S, and arranging an "accident" is not something that cannot be said to be unreasonable.

But the next development is very unbelievable, and it is extremely scary to think about.

If they succeeded, Snape was in Lupin's mouth. Potter and Black could have passed the blame, because after Blake deliberately told Snape about the mechanism that had passed through the beating willow, this led Snape to the place where he could kill him - and the beating willow is still a forbidden area at Hogwarts, and students are absolutely forbidden to approach.

What could be wrong with Lupin as a werewolf? At that time, the wolf poison potion had not yet appeared, and the werewolf was completely unable to maintain his sanity when he transformed. The school specially arranged a place for him to transform, just to stay away from the crowd, but someone came up to send him to death, what does this have to do with the innocent Lupin?

Blake could also claim that he hadn't divulged any secrets, or that Snape himself had eavesdropped on what they were talking to and then went to find out on his own. Blake could have picked himself clean.

As for Potter, he is even less responsible.

No one would stand up and speak for Snape, who was very unpopular—except for the "Death Eater Reserve" in the trenches with him at the time, but would anyone listen to them?

In other words, if Snape had died at that time, it would have really died in vain.

What was even more terrifying was Dumbledore's reaction at the time.

Afterwards, Snape told Dumbledore about Lupin's werewolf identity, and he didn't go to any other professor, not even their Slytherin headmaster, but directly found Dumbledore, what does this mean? He trusted Dumbledore even more than his headmaster! You can ask who they would trust more for a Slytherin, Professor Snape and Professor Dumbledore.

Hiding from his headmaster, Snape denounced to Dumbledore that Lupin was a werewolf and that Blake and the others had plotted to murder him. But what did Dumbledore do, and how did he deal with the trust of the "little Death Eater"?

I'm sorry, but Dumbledore, who has always been a great man, didn't do anything.

It stands to reason that Blake and the others should be immediately contained, pending an investigation, immediately expelled, and sent to Azkaban, where murder of underage wizards is a felony, regardless of the identity and age of the perpetrators. This law is still in use today.

Snape had come to Dumbledore for help, to find this great man he thought was going to help him. But it turned out that Dumbledore immediately forbade him to disclose this matter to anyone, and had no intention of doing justice for Snape.

Alas...... Snape's popularity.

Dumbledore's protection of Lupin was understandable, after all, he didn't do it voluntarily. But there was no punishment for Blake, let alone a point deduction and confinement, not even a verbal warning...... Afterwards, Blake was still swaggering around Hogwarts.

Dumbledore: This is no longer tolerance, this is already the category of indulgence. In Solim's view, Dumbledore's approach to this matter was as despicable and contemptuous as the teachers who turned a blind eye to school violence. _
