Chapter 223
Argus could probably guess what Snape was thinking.
In Snape’s mind, if he paid a little more attention, he would definitely be able to detect something wrong.
As long as he could find out the purpose of the wolfsbane potion, Lupin would not be able to escape!
The worse Lupin’s life was, the happier Snape was!
Snape didn’t treat Lupin the same way he treated Harry. At least he still cared about Lily’s feelings for Harry.
He really dared to beat Lupin to death!
Not to mention the bullying at school, Lupin almost bit him in the Shrieking Shack, and this hatred could not be explained in a few words.
Snape didn’t take advantage of Lupin’s embarrassment to cause trouble to him, because he was also a member of the Order of the Phoenix.
Now, he actually wanted to be a professor at Hogwarts? Dream on!
Watching Snape add the extremely unpalatable medicinal materials that were not part of the wolfsbane potion formula to the crucible.
Argus couldn’t help but mourn for Lupin in his heart.
I can even imagine Lupin’s ferocious expression when he drinks the potion.
After about half an hour, a pot of wolfsbane potion was ready.
Snape poured the potion into three bottles and handed it to Argus.
“Send it to the office of your Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.”
Good fellow, are you really afraid that I can’t find out!
This is no different from naming your Defense Against the Dark Arts professor as a werewolf!
Under Snape’s impatient gaze, Argus picked up the potion and walked towards Lupin’s office.
All the way to the Defense Against the Dark Arts office.
Knocked on the door, and what came into view was Lupin’s thin face.
Lupin was a little surprised to see Argus.
“Mr. Grindelwald? Come in quickly. What’s the matter with you coming here so late?”
“No, Professor Lupin, Professor Snape asked me to bring you some potions.”
When Argus handed the three bottles of potions to Lupin, it was obvious that Lupin’s expression was a little strange.
He forced a smile and took the potion.
“Please run a trip.”
“I need some potions for experiments recently. Professor Snape will help me.”
“Thank Professor Snape for me.”
Argus smiled and continued with Lupin’s words.
“Okay, Professor Lupin, I’ll go back if there’s nothing else.”
“Good night, I wish you a good dream.”
After Argus left, Lupin sat at his desk.
He picked up the potion, looked at it, and drank it in.
The moment he entered the mouth, a bitter taste that was difficult to describe in words, mixed with sourness and nausea, rushed out along with the potion.
He almost vomited it.
Fortunately, Lupin had eaten a lot of disgusting food in order to survive over the years.
He suppressed his urge to vomit and swallowed the wolfsbane potion.
He sat slumped in the chair and recovered after a long time.
“Snotlout really has bad intentions. How can wolfsbane potion be so bad!”
Although Lupin was poor, he didn’t even know what wolfsbane potion tasted like.
He immediately realized that Snape was deliberately playing a trick on him!
After a short rest, he took out his wand, cast a Disillusionment Spell on himself, opened the door and walked out.
Little did he know that at the moment his door opened, Argus, who was hiding not far away, quietly smiled.
“Can’t you finally take action?”
“The Black family’s collection seems to be not far from me.”
…
Lupin didn’t rush to look for Sirius outside the castle first.
Instead, he came to Filch’s residence.
He and Sirius had been away from Hogwarts for too long, and many secret passages were a little unclear.
Moreover, the location of Peter Pettigrew also needs a method to determine.
Therefore, it is imperative to get back the Marauder’s Map that they made that year.
Unfortunately, this thing was stolen by the Weasley twins and then passed on to Argus.
Lupin, who had been searching for Filch’s residence for a long time but couldn’t find it, had to give up.
Relying on several secret passages that he remembered more deeply, he left the castle and came to Hogsmeade Village.
Argus did not choose to follow.
Capturing Sirius was not very useful to him.
On the contrary, letting Sirius continue to stay in the outside world, forcing them to find Peter Pettigrew in every possible way but find nothing, can make Argus get the most benefit.
At this time, Sirius was looking for some edible food in front of several stores.
In the original book, he chose to hide in the Shrieking Shack in order to hide.
If Crookshanks hadn’t sent him some food, he would have starved to death long ago.
But now with Lupin’s help, there is no need to take such risks.
Just wait for Lupin’s news.
Lupin strolled through several streets before he saw Sirius looking for food. He quickly spent money to buy some food while several shops were still open and brought it to Sirius.
The two found a deserted corner.Sirius then changed back to human form with confidence and started eating.
“How is it, Moony? Did you find the Marauder’s Map?”
Sirius ate so fast that he almost choked.
Lupin patted him on the back and said, “No, it’s probably hidden by Filch.”
“Wait for me to find out when I get a chance.”
“Without the Marauder’s Map, it’s hard for us to determine Peter’s location.”
“With so many students in Hogwarts, if we don’t catch him in one blow, he might counterattack.”
“He blew up a street of Muggles to save his life. This time, in order to protect himself, he might attack the students of Hogwarts.”
“We can’t…can’t…hurt the students of Hogwarts for ourselves.”
Sirius nodded, “That’s right.”
Then he pounded the ground hard.
“Why didn’t I see that Wormtail would do such a thing before!”
“One more thing… My identity as a werewolf may be discovered soon!”
Lupin’s words made Sirius’s brain crash a little.
“What’s going on? Didn’t you just enter Hogwarts? How come you’re going to be exposed!”
“It’s Snivellus…”
Before Lupin finished speaking, Sirius was instantly angry!
“Did he announce your identity? I knew he had bad intentions!”
“If you weren’t him…”
“Padfoot, calm down!”
Lupin said helplessly: “Snivellus didn’t announce my identity, but tonight, he asked Argus… that is, Grindelwald, to deliver the wolfsbane potion to my office.”
“I feel that with Mr. Grindelwald’s sense of smell, plus the power of the saints, my identity will be found out soon.”
“That’s still Snivellus’s work!” Sirius’s attention seemed to be all on Snape.
To be precise, it should be a prejudice against Snape.
Subconsciously, she threw the blame on him.
“What are you going to do now? You can’t just wait to be caught, right?”
“Take it one step at a time and catch Peter as soon as possible.” Lupin couldn’t think of a good solution.
Sirius was silent for a moment, then said to Lupin: “If I remember correctly, you can go to Hogsmeade Village in your third year at Hogwarts, right?”
“I’ll meet him this weekend.”
