Chapter 264 Harry: So this is why Snape is targeting me!

Lupine narrowed his eyes slightly, as if recalling the scene at that time.

"I remember, the roof collapsed."

"I looked over to where it collapsed, and all I saw was a full moon."

"No... that's not a real full moon. If it was a real moon, I wouldn't be able to wake up so quickly..."

"Idiots are idiots! Even a fake moon will be deceived!"

Snape looked mocking.

Obviously, Lupine's transformation and almost successful sneak attack marked another mark for him.

"Didn't you find any other abnormalities?" Yagus asked with a frown.

Lupine showed an apologetic smile: "Sorry, I really didn't notice."

"Everything happened so fast, I didn't even have time to react."

There were no clues, and Yagus didn't intend to dig deeper.

Anyway, he can be sure that the other party is not targeting him.

It's better to leave this kind of mysterious person active in Hogwarts to Dumbledore and the four deans.

It has nothing to do with myself.

"Yagos!"

Just as Argus was preparing to return to Hogwarts Castle.

Lupine suddenly stopped him.

"What happened today, will it be revealed to Peter..."

right! Peter Pettigrew!

When this matter was mentioned, Snape's expression also changed.

They were making quite a fuss today, and if Peter was nearby, he would definitely notice it.

If he really escaped from Hogwarts regardless of his care, what would he do with his Animagus form?

Is it possible to catch rats all over Britain?

Argus knew that Peter was one of his own.

After capturing him and taking him to the Saint's Manor, the mark carved on him is not only capable of torturing him, but also controlling his life and death.

It can also monitor his status and approximate location sensing.

When Snape and Sirius were fighting, he discovered Peter's traces.

However, due to the situation at that time, I did not contact him.

The whole thing was originally a play directed and acted by Yagus, so how could anything unexpected happen?

"Whether he notices it or not, we can't gamble, Professor Lupin!"

Argos pretended to be as cautious as they were.

"Yeah, we can't gamble, Peter just has to wait for Padfoot to be caught."

"And we have to hurry."

Lupine nodded and looked at Argus.

"Yagos, do you want to continue with your plan?"

"No, it's too late. We have to do it as soon as possible! Let's go back to Hogwarts first. Sirius is there. There are some plans that we need to cooperate with."

…

Inside Hogwarts Castle.

Harry and Sirius walked through the corridors and stairs wearing invisibility cloaks.

Sirius' eyes were full of memories, and he looked at Harry's young face next to him.

For a moment, it was like going back to more than ten years ago.

At that time, he was sneaking into Hogwarts with James, Lupin and others.

At that time, they had not yet learned the Animagus, and they could only rely on James' invisibility cloak every night.

"Sirius!"

Harry was walking and suddenly asked.

"What would have happened if you...you hadn't caught Peter Pettigrew?"

Sirius was silent for a moment, then spoke in a hoarse voice.

"He will be caught."

"Even if I'm not caught, I will never be taken back to Azkaban again."

"I'd rather go to Knockturn Alley than be tortured in Azkaban!"

For Sirius, the only heir to the twenty-eight pure-blood tribes, Knockturn Alley is a place where most people would rather die than stay.

But after this period of hard survival, and a life of wandering and starving outside.

Especially the moment he saw Harry, his mentality had already changed.

As James's good brother, Harry's only relative in the wizarding world.

He felt he should take responsibility.

Harry didn't know how to answer and finally decided to avoid this heavy topic.

"Can you tell me what happened back then?"

"Does Snape know you?"

When this topic is brought up, Sirius becomes energetic!

"Of course we know each other! We played with him from first grade to graduation!"

"Beat him to pieces!"

"At that time, your father, Remus and I were sorted into Gryffindor. You don't know how surprised they were when they saw that I was sorted into Gryffindor."

"The Black family has been Slytherin for so many years, and I am the only Gryffindor!"

"Snotlout, oh, that's 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 very good impression of Snape either.

One of the two people was very excited about it, and the other was relieved after hearing it.

I almost took the wrong path without paying attention!

The two of them made it all the way to the eighth floor, after Sirius walked back and forth three times across from the tapestry where the troll beat Barnabas silly.

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 where I'm going to hide next, the Room of Requirement!"

"The Room of Requirement?"

"That's right!"

Sirius recounted in detail how he and Harry's father discovered the Room of Requirement.

Harry was also introduced to the functions of the Room of Requirement.

The two of them chatted about various topics.

This was the first time Harry really felt the warmth of his family, and he seemed to cherish it very much.

Sirius also looked at this hard-won opportunity.

He didn't know if he would have the 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!"

Harry was talking, and suddenly thought of a question.

But he didn't expect to ask Sirius so directly that he didn't know how to answer.

What to say?

Say your dad stole someone's childhood sweetheart, and the person still misses your mother?

So his Patronus became the same as your mother's?

No matter how you think about it, it doesn't make sense!

Sirius racked his brains and finally came up with a reasonable explanation.

"Snape knew your mother a long time ago, even earlier than your father."

"But he later became a Death Eater and chose to follow...that person."

"The reason why I was shocked was that he, a Death Eater, could actually cast the Patronus Charm."

"It's the same Patronus as your mother's."

Sirius spoke with a guilty conscience, lowering his head and not daring to look Harry in the eye.

Fortunately, Harry was only half-baked at the Patronus Charm, and just asked casually for no 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 happy.

At this time, Argus, Lupin, and Snape had arrived outside the Room of Requirement,
