Chapter 227
Hogsmeade on weekends is a paradise for little wizards.
Honeydukes Candy Store, Madam Puddife Tea House, Three Broomsticks, Zonko’s Magic Joke Shop…
These gathering places for little wizards almost made it difficult for adult wizards to find a place to stay.
Argus came here for two purposes.
One is to investigate suitable shops in Hogsmeade.
The second is to learn from intelligence that Sirius is hiding here and want to seduce Sirius.
As expected, Argus just wandered around Hogsmeade for a while and then noticed a dark shadow following him stealthily.
It was a dirty black dog, looking for food on the ground with its head down.
But its eyes kept scanning itself.
“Argus, do you want to go to the Three Broomsticks for a drink together!”
Draco patted Argus’s shoulder in a mature manner, as if he was a veteran who often went to the bar.
Argus shook his head: “I still have some things to deal with. I will meet you at the Three Broomsticks later.”
“Goyle, Crabbe!”
Hearing Argus’s voice, the two of them ran over with arms full of candies and chocolates.
Obviously, compared to Draco’s mulled wine, hot honey wine or butter beer, candies and chocolates are their favorites.
“You accompany Draco to the Three Broomsticks to find a good seat first, and I will find you later.”
“Okay! Chief!”
Under Draco’s resentful eyes, Argus walked away.
After turning several corners in a row, he came to a secluded corner with no one.
Sirius, who had been following Argus, couldn’t help but feel happy in his heart.
He didn’t expect the action to be so smooth!
Originally, he was still thinking about how to leave Argus alone, but he never thought that he actually came to a place where no one was!
It’s really easy to get it!
It seems that this Grindelwald is not as powerful as the newspapers boasted!
He even began to imagine that when he showed up, Argus would be so scared that he couldn’t even speak properly.
To deal with such a brat, a little intimidation and a few big promises would be enough to make him help him honestly.
Sirius bit the bitch following him twice and walked straight to the deserted corner where Argus was deep.
Argus noticed Sirius approaching, but he was still not in a hurry.
As if he didn’t notice it at all.
This kind of game is also one of the negotiation skills.
The party that is controlled and at a disadvantage will naturally be inferior in the next negotiation.
Argus’s bottom line is the classics collected by the Black family, but if he can get more, he will naturally take more!
After all, the Saints are also in the development stage now, and gold galleons are needed everywhere.
Observing Sirius entering a controllable distance.
Argus raised the corner of his mouth slightly, raised his hand and cast a spell.
“Expelliarmus!”
Sirius, who was about to subdue Argus, fell to the ground. Although he had a dog’s face, he could see the humanized word “bewilderment”.
Didn’t I become a dog?
How did he find me?
The wound that had just healed was now showing a tendency to relapse.
If Argus hadn’t held back, this would probably be enough to send him to see Harry’s parents.
“Let me see, an illegal Animagus!”
Argus approached with leisurely steps, but what he said made Sirius shudder.
“If it is handed over to the Ministry of Magic, it should be…”
“Woof woof!” Sirius was really scared this time.
He finally escaped and found an opportunity to seek help from the saints.
What if he was caught as an ordinary illegal Animagus criminal and sent to the Ministry of Magic, it would be a big loss!
Anxious Sirius was busy explaining himself and even forgot his current form.
After barking twice, he finally reacted.
He quickly changed back to human form, covered his chest, and staggered to the wall next to him.
“No… Don’t look for the Ministry of Magic!”
Sirius tried to get up and organize himself, but was quickly restrained by Argus.
“Sirius? I didn’t expect you to come here to kill Harry!”
Argus guessed the reason why Sirius came to find him, but pretended not to know.
He picked up the wand and pointed it at him.
“I’m not here for Harry! I’m here for you…”
“You want to kill me?”
Argus’ words made Sirius dumbfounded again!
No, buddy, what kind of understanding ability do you have!
When did I say I was going to kill you!
I don’t even know who you are, why did I come all the way here to kill you!
Sirius’ face turned red with suffocation.
“I’m not here to kill Harry, nor am I here to kill you, I am…I want to ask you to ask the Saints to help me once.”
“The Saints will not help the Death Eaters, so you should give up on this idea.”
“What if I say I’m not a Death Eater? ”
After Sirius finished speaking, he thought he would see Argus’s shocked expression.
Who knew that Argus looked at him as if he was a fool.
That expression seemed to say, which prisoner in Azkaban does not say that he is wronged?
At this point, the negotiation situation has been completely controlled by Argus.
Of course he knew that Sirius was not a Death Eater, but now only Sirius and Lupin should know about this.
If he showed it too obviously, it would easily arouse Sirius’s suspicion.
Perhaps Sirius would attribute this to his prophetic talent, but he might not hide it.
Once his prophetic talent became known to everyone, he would need more trump cards to deal with Voldemort and Dumbledore in the future.
Looking at Argus’s unmoved expression, Sirius was completely panicked.
Hurry to explain: “I didn’t lie to you, someone can testify for me! ”
“Back then…”
Sirius recounted the story of their fight against Voldemort in full, like a bamboo tube pouring beans.
After saying that, he stared at Argus without blinking.
“As long as you can help me catch Peter, I will give you a reward that you can’t refuse!”
“Believe me, I am now the only heir of the Black family!”
Argus chuckled and just looked at him without any response.
Sirius couldn’t help it.
“I know that the Saints Group is now fighting against the pure bloods of Britain. As long as you help me catch Peter, I can give you all the shares of the Black family in their store!”
Argus didn’t say anything, just looked at him quietly.
Sirius took a deep breath: “The Black family still has a few plots of land, which can also be handed over to you.”
Seeing that Argus still had no intention of speaking, Sirius gritted his teeth.
“The Black family has collected a lot of magical items over the years.”
“And the Black family’s collection of books!”
“You can choose any one! ”
Argus sneered, making Sirius gradually angry.
“You don’t believe me?”
“To be precise, you are the only one who has been saying it from beginning to end. There are no witnesses or physical evidence.”
“How many people do you think will believe it?”
Just then, a familiar voice came from a distance.
“I can testify!”
