Chapter 2371

That's right! It was none other than Snape that Sirius was looking for in this groping and tracing.

To be honest, when Snape suddenly pointed out his hiding place in the alley opposite the apartment building when he just came to this neighborhood, he really didn't think about anything else.

After all, it was Professor McGonagall and Snape who were across the street at that time, and at most the two Hogwarts girls who had just left, even though he always disliked that guy Snape, now I have to admit that the other party is also one of my own.

Therefore, he did not hide his existence too much at that time, and it seemed that it was not too unexpected that Snape was so keenly aware of his appearance.

Because of this, after being pointed at by Snape, he simply went out to meet the two directly, and even took the initiative to mock Snape for this matter.

In fact, Sirius didn't even pay much attention to Snape's sudden departure when he was talking to McGonagall not long ago. Because he also knew that on the basis of his dislike for the other party, the other party actually hated him all the time, and there didn't seem to be many unnatural traces of that guy's early departure.

Of course, among these factors that prevented Sirius from noticing something was wrong from the very beginning, the most fundamental reason lies in one point after all—Snape's Occlumency has indeed been practiced to a rather deep level, and he wants to get out of it. It is too difficult to find any flaws in such a person.

However, when the incident of Colin fainting happened suddenly, Sirius followed McGonagall all the way to the temporary ward, and after seeing the picture of Colin left in the magic film, he finally found out something was wrong indirectly!

Although the film image of the suspect was blurry, he was almost sure - he recognized the scene in the image!

Isn't that the next door to the alley where he was spotted by Snape? Go in from the alley next to it and walk to the other end, which is where the film picture is located, and the opposite seems to be the temporary student dormitory where Colin fainted.

He was still passing by when he came!

Thinking about it this way, the specific picture that he had skipped when Snape reached out to point out where he was at first gradually became clear again in Sirius' mind. He gradually began to realize that although Snape was indeed referring to him at that time, the other party's eyes seemed to have swept aside inadvertently.

Yes, although the memory is still a little fuzzy... After all, it was something that I had already ignored at the time. Even if I noticed something strange afterwards, it would be difficult to reproduce too many details in my mind one by one.

This is the time when he was silent in the ward not long ago.

However, even if he can't be completely sure, with Sirius' pragmatism and extremely high action, it doesn't prevent him from following these few points and starting to use practical actions to verify his guess.

And after his verification after leaving the temporary ward, and silently searching with his best tracking ability, he finally found this place following Snape's trail.

He was very sure that that fellow Snape must be in the old apartment next door, because the reaction of the spell had indeed been heard from this old building that looked deserted!

Until then, Sirius, who was squatting under the window sill and slowly lowering his wrist, had gradually raised the corners of his mouth.

That guy...what is he talking to people in there? And it seems that the origin of those sneaky guys may not be that simple.

Just as he was thinking about it, Sirius, who was still considering which method to take a peek at without disturbing the people inside, suddenly raised his eyebrows, as if he suddenly noticed something again.

Ok?

He suddenly discovered that the curse reaction on the other side of the wall began to weaken rapidly, and then disappeared completely. Then, there was a burst of very regular footsteps.

Squeak—

There was probably the sound of opening the door, and the footsteps gradually faded away, leaving the room separated from him by only one wall.

...Are you a step late?

It was probably the sound of Snape's footsteps - large strides, as if he was always in such a hurry, just listening to this sound, Sirius was already able to quickly outline the cloak Qingyang in his mind The big bat image came.

Well, I should be planning to leave through the main entrance on the other side. He thought to himself, However, those infiltrators should not have moved yet.

The spell, which was probably the Silencer Charm, had been lifted, but after the footsteps had faded away, there was still no sound in the room. Considering that unless those people are all ghosts or dementors, they don't walk on their feet at all, otherwise there is probably only one reason-these people still don't feel how safe it is here, so in Sne After Pu left, he still maintained a high degree of vigilance.

Slightly squinting his eyes, based on experience, Sirius wisely chose not to scare the snake right away at this moment, but backed out in the same direction as when he was in a quiet relationship.

Some of the previous conjectures have been verified, and he can contact Professor McGonagall. So keep a little distance from here, so as not to let the infiltrators who are probably hiding in it notice the movement.

However, just as he quietly retreated to the entrance of the alley and was about to go out, Sirius suddenly stopped in his footsteps and stopped abruptly.

You see, I'm not wrong, right? Hmph, it really is a dog's nose... and it's not a nose that ordinary dogs can have. Deodorants don't even work.

Hearing these words slightly and clearly heard from the wall outside the alley, Sirius narrowed his eyes again, and asked in a low voice:

Why, I've bumped into someone sneaking here to 'chat' behind Professor McGonagall's back, so you're not panicking at all?

As soon as the words were finished, a figure outside took a quick step from the side, stepping into Sirius' line of sight.

It really was him! Severus Snape.

I'm just going to take care of my personal affairs first... I've already dealt with it, and then you can do whatever you want—it's up to you to take this matter to Professor McGonagall. As for now... Don't bother me! Unless you just want to lure those inside out.

After finishing these few words in a low voice and pointing to the nearby distance, Snape turned around decisively and walked silently to the distance. Sirius probably didn't expect this guy to be so calm, so he was stunned for a moment, but he didn't deliberately chase after him in the end.

'Private matter'? What is it? He frowned, thinking to himself.
