Chapter 385: Capturing Sirius (Second update)

George did find Sirius's location, but he didn't try to escape. He was probably hiding in the secret passage under the Whomping Willow and resting.

But if she didn't say that, the smart and rational Hermione would definitely suggest reporting to the teachers first, and then the school teachers would arrest Sirius. That would be safer.

But once this happens, the most they can do is provide clues and have no credit for catching Sirius.

What he wants is to take down Sirius single-handedly, so that he can help him later join the Ministry of Magic.

"Is it dangerous for George to go there alone? That's Sirius!"

Ron saw George flying away with a nervous look on his face.

Currently, the only ruthless man who can escape Azkaban under the guard of Dementors has been hunted by the Ministry of Magic for a year without finding a trace, and even sneaked into Hogwarts twice.

"Oh, damn, Banban, what are you doing?"

At this time, the pet Banban he was holding suddenly bit him, fell to the ground, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Ignore that rat of yours!"

Seeing that Ron still wanted to chase Scabbers, Hermione immediately scolded him.

"We will split up. I will go to find Professor McGonagall, you will go to Professor Snape, and Harry will go to Principal Dumbledore. The sooner we rush to help George, the safer he will be."

Although she had seen George's strength in Paris, Sirius was much more famous than the old one-eyed man, and she was also worried.

And she knew very well that even if they ran over to help now, they would only add to the chaos. The most sensible thing to do now was to follow George's instructions and notify the teacher quickly.

"Walk!"

Harry gritted his teeth and ran towards the principal's office.

He really wanted to go with George to deal with Sirius, and it would be best to cast a killing curse on Sirius. Although he didn't know how to do it yet, Hermione was right, he should go to Dumbledore.

However, just as they turned around to head to the dean and principal's offices separately, they happened to bump into a figure.

"Harry, Hermione, Ron, where are you three going in such a hurry?"

"Professor Lupine!"

The three of them looked up and saw Professor Lupine, who staggered and almost lost his balance after being hit by them. A look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Professor, George used his own tracking magic to find Sirius near the Whomping Willow. In order to prevent Sirius from escaping, he has already chased him!"

"What, Sirius is over there with the Whomping Willow?"

Lu Ping's expression changed, as if he had thought of something, and he quickly ran towards the Whomping Willow.

"Professor Lupine has passed, do I still need to inform Professor Snape?"

Ron saw Lupine running away with a hesitant look on his face.

Mainly, he didn't really want to go to the scary Professor Snape alone.

"I want to go with the professor!"

Harry struggled internally, pulled out his wand and chased Professor Lupin.

What he wanted was not to capture Sirius and return to Azkaban, what he wanted was to kill Sirius with his own hands to avenge his parents.

There was only George alone just now, and he was not sure, so he could only give up revenge for the time being and go find the principal and other professors.

Now that there is not only George, but also Professor Lupin, the possibility of defeating Sirius is very high. If he attacks from the side, he may not be able to take the opportunity to kill Sirius.

"Then I'll go too!"

When Ron saw his good brother Harry coming up, he also drew his wand and chased after him.

"you!"

Hermione saw the two of them chasing after them, and after cursing, she reluctantly took out her wand and joined them.

However, she still kept an eye on it. While chasing Harry and Ron, she asked other young wizards she met on the way to help them call Professor McGonagall and the principal to go to the Whomping Willow and tell them they had discovered Sirius.

On the other side, George quickly flew in front of the Whomping Willow, folded his wings and landed.

His mental energy swept away, and a smile appeared on his face:

"It's indeed inside."

Not only had to evade the pursuit of the Ministry of Magic, but also the dementors, teachers and students in Hogwarts, as well as the ubiquitous portrait surveillance, and find Pettigrew in the form of a mouse. Sirius was not in a good condition at this time.

With his dirty messy hair, skinny arms, sunken eye sockets, and pale face, at first glance, he might have looked like a dying person.

However, he was vigilant and immediately noticed that someone seemed to be approaching outside, because the Whomping Willow above reacted.

So he quickly used Animagus to transform into a big dog, quietly came to the entrance and carefully observed the outside.

"Just a student!"

Seeing that there was only a young student standing outside, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Maybe I'm just curious about the Whomping Willow."

Just the next second, his expression changed.

"Please give way!"

George raised his head and said politely to the Whomping Willow, and his words seemed to have magic power, causing the Whomping Willow, which was originally very bad-tempered and would attack madly when anyone approached, to move away from its thick branches.

When there was a path ahead leading to the cave entrance under the Whomping Willow, George walked over slowly.

What he had just used was a magic he learned from Luthien that could communicate with plants and forcibly control them to assist in combat. It could be activated through sound.

The Whomping Willow has some intelligence, but George's spirit is stronger, so he can be tamed easily.

"He ran pretty fast."

After entering the tunnel under the Whomping Willow, George did not find Sirius.

But he was not worried, because his psychic power had already locked Sirius and knew that he was escaping to the Shrieking Shack at the end of the tunnel.

The tunnel under the Whomping Willow was dug by Potter, Sirius and others.

The purpose was to let Lupin stay in the Shrieking Shack after he turned into a werewolf on the night of the full moon, so that he would not hurt others and Lupin could go to school normally.

However, the villagers always thought that the screams and howls in the Shrieking Shack were all made by ghosts.

And Albus Dumbledore also encouraged the spread of rumors to prevent others from approaching the Shrieking Shack.

Moving quickly along the tunnel, he soon reached the end of the tunnel and came to a messy and gray room.

The wallpaper was peeling, the floor was stained, the furniture was all broken, as if it had been smashed, and the windows were sealed with wooden boards.

Looking around, there was no one in the room. There was an open door on the right, leading to a dark hallway with a bed and a worn-out chair.

"Sirius, no need to hide anymore, I know you are under that bed."

George pretended to pull out his wand. In fact, he could cast spells without a wand a long time ago, and the wand was just a decoration.

Hearing George's words, a black dog quickly jumped out from under the bed, rushed towards George at a very fast speed, and bit George's right wrist, obviously trying to remove the wand from George's hand.
