Chapter 264
Lupin narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was recalling the scene at that time.
“I remember that the roof collapsed.”
“I looked at the collapsed position, but I saw a full moon.”
“No… that’s not a real full moon. If it was a real moon, I wouldn’t have woken up so quickly…”
“Fools are idiots! Even a fake moon would fool them!”
Snape had a mocking look on his face.
Obviously, Lupin’s transformation and almost successful sneak attack was another record for him.
“Didn’t you find any other abnormalities?” Agus asked with a frown.
Lupin smiled apologetically: “Sorry, I really didn’t notice it.”
“Everything happened too fast, I didn’t have time to react.”
Without any clues, Agus didn’t intend to investigate further.
Anyway, he was sure that the other party was not targeting him.
This mysterious person active in Hogwarts should be left to Dumbledore and the four deans to deal with.
It has nothing to do with him.
“Argus!”
Just when Argus was about to return to Hogwarts Castle.
Lupin suddenly called him.
“Will Peter know what happened today…”
Yes! Peter Pettigrew!
Snape’s face changed when he mentioned this.
They made quite a fuss today. If Peter was nearby, he would definitely notice it.
If he really escaped from Hogwarts without caring, how could he be found with his Animagus form!
Could he catch all the rats in Britain?
Argus knew that Peter was one of his own.
After catching him to Saint Manor, the mark he carved on him was not only able to torture him and control his life and death.
It could also monitor his condition and roughly sense his location.
When Snape fought with Sirius, he found Peter’s trace.
It was just that he did not contact him due to the situation at that time.
The whole thing was a play directed and acted by Argus himself, so how could there be any accidents?
“Whether he noticed or not, we can’t gamble, Professor Lupin!”
Argus pretended to be as cautious as them.
“Yes, we can’t gamble. Peter just needs to wait for Padfoot to be caught.”
“And we have to hurry.”
Lupin nodded and looked at Argus.
“Argus, do you want to continue with your plan?”
“No, it’s too late. We have to hurry! Let’s go back to Hogwarts first. Sirius is there. Some plans require his cooperation.”
…
Inside Hogwarts Castle.
Harry and Sirius were wearing invisibility cloaks and walking through the corridors and stairs.
Sirius’ eyes were full of memories, looking at Harry’s young face beside him.
In an instant, it seemed as if he had returned to more than ten years ago.
At that time, he was sneaking around Hogwarts with James, Lupin and others.
At that time, they had not yet learned Animagus, and every night tour could only rely on James’s invisibility cloak.
“Sirius!”
Harry walked and walked, and suddenly asked.
“What if you…you didn’t catch Peter Pettigrew?”
Sirius was silent for a while, and spoke in a hoarse voice.
“We will definitely catch him.”
“Even if I don’t catch him, I will never be taken back to Azkaban again.”
“I would rather go to Knockturn Alley than suffer in Azkaban!”
For Sirius, the only heir of the pure-blooded 28 clans, Knockturn Alley can be said to be a place where most people would rather die than stay.
But after this period of hard survival, wandering outside, and starving.
Especially the moment he saw Harry, his mentality had already changed.
As James’ good brother, Harry’s only relative in the wizarding world.
He felt that he should take responsibility.
Harry didn’t know how to answer, and finally decided to bypass this heavy topic.
“Can you tell me about your past?”
“Did Snape know you?”
Sirius got excited when he mentioned this topic!
“Of course I know him! We fought him from the first year to graduation!”
“We beat him to a pulp!”
“At that time, your father, Remus and I were sorted into Gryffindor. You don’t know how surprised they were when they saw me sorted into Gryffindor.”
“The Black family has been Slytherin for so many years, and I am the only Gryffindor!”
“Snotlout, oh, that is, your Professor Snape, he was sorted into Slytherin…”
Sirius finally found a suitable topic with Harry.
It just so happened that Harry didn’t have a good impression of Snape.
One of them was talking excitedly, and the other was relieved.
He almost went the wrong way without noticingRoad!
The two of them came all the way to the eighth floor, and after Sirius walked back and forth three times opposite the tapestry where Barnabas was fooled by the troll stick.
In Harry’s shocked eyes, a door he had never seen before slowly opened.
“This… this is…”
“Come in first!” Sirius showed a proud look.
“This is my next hiding place, the Room of Requirement!”
“Room of Requirement?”
“Yes!”
Sirius recounted in detail the process of how he and Harry’s father discovered the Room of Requirement.
He also introduced the functions of the Room of Requirement to Harry.
The two chatted about various topics from all over the world.
This was the first time that Harry truly felt the warmth of his family and seemed to cherish it very much.
Sirius also looked at this hard-won opportunity.
He didn’t know if he would have a next time.
“By the way, Sirius! When Snape used the Patronus Charm at the Black Lake, you seemed shocked. Why?”
“And he said it was the same Patronus as my mother!”
As Harry was talking, he suddenly thought of a question.
But he never expected to ask Sirius so directly that he didn’t know how to answer.
What to say?
You said your father stole someone’s childhood sweetheart, and he still misses your mother?
So his Patronus became the same as your mother’s?
It doesn’t make sense no matter how I think about it!
Sirius racked his brains and finally came up with a reasonable explanation.
“Snape knew your mother very early, even earlier than your father.”
“But he later became a Death Eater and chose to follow…that person.”
“The reason I was shocked was that he, a Death Eater, could actually use the Patronus Charm.”
“And it was the same Patronus as your mother.”
Sirius spoke with a guilty conscience and lowered his head, not daring to look Harry in the eye.
Fortunately, Harry was only half-baked at the Patronus Charm, and was just asking for no other reason.
At this moment, he was immersed in another big melon.
Snape turned out to be a Death Eater!
No wonder he has been targeting me since I entered school!
So that’s it!
Harry seemed to have found a reasonable excuse for being targeted.
He was secretly delighted.
At this moment, Argus, Lupin, and Snape had arrived outside the Room of Requirement.
