#275 - Chapter 275: A Man and a Dog Who Dislike Each Other

Ask Snape for help?!

I must have misheard?

Sirius stopped trying to please Ron and stared blankly at Harry.

What exactly is going on?

Could it be that Harry and Snape have a good relationship?

This world is too magical.

Harry, this young man, clearly has James' face, yet Snape, that guy who hates James to the core, hasn't caused him any trouble!

Abnormal, it's all too abnormal.

Sirius's heart felt blocked, he really wanted to transform back into his human form and then dissuade Harry from getting close to that guy who studies dark magic all day long.

But considering that revenge had not yet been taken, he still forced himself to endure it.

Forget it, once Peter is caught, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future to make Harry recognize the true face of that greasy git.

While Sirius was lost in thought, Harry was seriously discussing with Ron and Hermione what to say after finding Snape.

Although Harry's intuition told him that Professor Snape would definitely help him, Hermione and Ron unanimously believed that some strategies had to be adopted.

Considering Harry's good relationship with Snape, they decided to take in the big black dog in Harry's name.

After all, although the dog's real owner was Ron, they felt that if they explicitly said they were helping Ron, Professor Snape might not lend a hand.

After discussing, the originally planned trip to Hogsmeade was temporarily put on hold, and the three of them led the big black dog back towards Hogwarts.

The big black dog obediently followed beside Ron, occasionally looking up at him, seemingly anticipating the life ahead.

Arriving outside the gates of Hogwarts, Sirius watched Harry walk into the school, and then accompanied Ron and Hermione to play outside the gates.

As for the Dementors not far away, Sirius didn't take them to heart at all.

However, he still maintained a bit of vigilance in his heart.

He knew that his black dog form was not absolutely safe, there was one person in this school who could definitely recognize his Animagus form.

That person was his old friend Remus Lupin, this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

If the other party happened to pass by the school gate now, just one glance would expose his disguise.

He could only silently pray that his old friend had no plans to go to Hogsmeade today.

Whether it was Merlin who heard his prayer or not, Sirius soon saw Snape with his robes billowing.

Looking at Harry chatting and laughing with Snape, Sirius's jealousy surged, and he couldn't help but roar in his heart.

Damn it!

He, as Harry's godfather, hasn't even been this close to Harry yet.

Complex emotions churned deep within him.

Bitterness, anger, and unwillingness intertwined, almost making it difficult for him to calm down.

This feeling was extremely strong, making him unable to resist baring his teeth at Snape, as for the idea of wanting to act cute in front of Snape just now, he directly threw it aside.

"Harry, is this the big black dog you want to keep?" Snape frowned, "This dog looks a bit fierce, I don't think it's very suitable for you."

"If you really want to keep a dog, I can give you a Swallowtail Dog, a XXX-level magical creature, extremely loyal to wizards."

"No matter how you look at it, it's much better than this stray dog."

Originally, Snape hadn't taken Harry's adoption of a stray dog to heart, after all, it's very normal for teenagers to like keeping pets.

So, when Harry found him and made the request, he followed Harry here without saying a word.

But he never expected that the moment he saw this big black dog, his heart was filled with disgust.

This feeling was extremely strong, making him want to draw his wand and cast a curse on this dog.

Hearing Snape's suggestion, Harry quickly said: "No need, Professor, I just feel very close to this dog, that's why I had the idea of adopting it."

"It's actually not fierce at all, and it's very humane, Ron and Hermione can both testify to this."

Not fierce at all?

Then why is it baring its teeth, showing an attacking posture.

Harry, this kid, has also learned to lie through his teeth.

Snape expressionlessly pointed to the big black dog's exposed fangs.

"This..." Harry's mind raced, "It's a bit fierce now, it's probably affected by the Dementors."

Seeing this, Ron quickly rubbed the big black dog's head, trying to prove to Snape that this dog was really harmless.

Sirius also realized his impropriety, cooperating with Ron's actions, revealing a flattering look.

Careless!

This is the best opportunity for me to enter Hogwarts, no matter what, I must restrain my hostility towards Snape.

Greasy git, take a look at how cute I am, I'm definitely suitable to become a little wizard's pet.

Looking at Harry's expectant face, Snape couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

To be honest, this black dog is unpleasant no matter how you look at it, so he has an unspeakable resistance to Harry adopting this black dog.

Although he didn't want to admit it, Harry's persistence and trust in him made him soften his attitude involuntarily.

Moreover, he had already promised Harry before coming, and now he couldn't say no no matter what.

After all, he really didn't want to see that look of disappointment in those eyes.

Helpless, he could only confirm one last time: "Harry, do you really want to adopt this stray dog?"

"Really, I really like this dog," Harry nodded without hesitation, his eyes flashing with anticipation and gratitude, "Please, Professor."

Seeing Harry's firm expression, Snape had no more thoughts in his heart.

He nodded slightly, and then stretched out his wand and pointed it at the black dog on the ground: "I grant your request."

"But this dog looks a bit dirty, I'll help you clean it up, lest the fleas on its body crawl onto you."

This statement immediately aroused Sirius's dissatisfaction, he could no longer suppress his temper, and barked wildly at Snape.

Woof woof woof——

You're the one with fleas!

You're the one who looks dirty, look at your black robes, they're black and shiny.

Snape ignored the big black dog's barking, but took out a special pet tag, and marked the pet information and activity range on it.

When he waved his wand, preparing to use the Levitation Charm to float the dog in the air, and then use the Cleaning Charm to thoroughly clean this dirty big black dog, a strange impulse surged into his heart.

So, the words came to his lips, and he blurted out as if possessed.

"Pendulum Spell!"

As the spell fell, the big black dog was suddenly hung upside down in the air, its limbs struggling frantically in mid-air, making angry and helpless howls.

Looking at this scene, Snape's heart actually surged with an inexplicable sense of pleasure.

The corners of his mouth unconsciously curled into a faint arc, and then he raised his wand and used the Cleaning Charm to thoroughly clean this still upside-down big black dog.

Phew——

That's much more comfortable now!
