A certain Hogwarts rune professor

Chapter 287
a few minutes ago--

In the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's office, the atmosphere inside was tense.

The wand in Snape's hand pointed directly at Lupine, his eyes were shining strangely, and he said softly, "What are you hiding?"

Beside a desk, Lupine, also holding a wand, sighed, "It was you who surprised me by showing up."

"yes……?"

Snape's eyes fell on Lupin's feet, where there was a palm-sized knight's armor, and his scarlet eyes were staring at him. Reminiscent of the previous speculation, he had a strong desire, why didn't he find a chance to step on it? Flat, it's really an eyesore...

"The armor is flying!"

He pointed his wand at it, but the next second, Lupine deftly interrupted his spell: "I can't make you do this, Severus."

Snape's eyes became dangerous, he walked away a few steps, and Lupine also walked a few steps, the two were always facing each other.

"I told Dumbledore earlier," said Snape slowly, "that there is a mole at Hogwarts."

Lupine said eagerly: "Use your brain, Severus, things are not what you think at all, why don't you ask Professor Hemp to clarify."

"Give him to me!"

"I don't think so," said Lupine, and suddenly a thick snake-like rope flew out from the tip of Snape's staff, and Lupine stabbed a piece of the rope with precision, and the rope fell hard to the ground, breaking in five or six pieces.

"He is very likely innocent. Think about it. Where did I get him? I can go with you to verify it."

Snape said murderously, "You want to prove his innocence? Leave him to me and I'll see for myself—"

"Severus, you're obsessed, and there's something you don't know, we think—Dumbledore knows, too, that kid named Ron has a problem with his pet mouse!"

Lupine dodged a spell, and bottles in the office exploded with a bang.

"Starting to tell the story, Lupine? This is not enough time, you have to speed up." Snape shook out a black mist, which quickly gathered into a dozen chirping birds, and as his arm stabbed out like a sharp sword, , the black birds shot at Lupin in unison.

"You incorporated dark magic into regular spells?" Lupine said in amazement. He was also very agile. He had more opportunities to come into contact with these dark spells than the average person, but instead of learning them, he studied how to resist them.

He flicked his wand violently, and the parchment papers on the table flew up, forming a solid wall in front of him. The blackbird stuck to it, flapping its wings desperately, struggling to turn into wisps of black smoke.

The black smoke gathered together and turned into a big snake. The snake's head was raised high and pressed against the ceiling, and then its head suddenly fell down.

The big snake overwhelmed Lupin's defense. He picked up the 'Knight' and threw it out of the office window, "Go to Professor Haipu!" He jumped to one side to avoid the big snake.

"Om~"

The entire office trembled, and the tables, chairs, and cabinets in the room jumped together.

"Blackfly—"

"laugh!"

A red light brushed Snape's cheek and hit the filing cabinet behind him, and Lupine stood up from the dusty floor, "I can't let you do this, fool, I've wanted to fight you for a long time .”

There was a smile on Snape's face, but no one would take it as a gesture of goodwill. "Really? Stop pretending to be a good old man? A tamed werewolf?"

"I've never pretended - armor!"

Lupine blocked a suspicious blue spell, the reason no longer made sense, he swung his wand, and the red light continued continuously, Snape swung his wand again and again, picking up these spells one by one, he took two steps back, the wand straight out—

"Shen Feng has no shadow!"

"Whoosh!"

Rows of wooden boxes were neatly cut open, Lupine hurriedly avoided, a tiny wound cut his cheek, "This spell...is very impressive!"

With a flick of his wand, Snape hurriedly propped up the invisible barrier, and the spell deflected and hit a locked box.

"No!" Lupine exclaimed.

A red-haired woman came out, "Sev, why..."

Snape's eyes widened, he staggered back, his wand slipped from his hand, his body flinched, "No, no..."

"why……"

Lupine stood in front of Snape in a panic. The illusion in front of him disappeared and turned into a full moon. He sighed complicatedly, and raised his wand for a long time: "Funny—"

"boom!"

The full moon exploded so suddenly that it shattered, and Lupine looked back in amazement to see Snape holding his wand expressionlessly.

"Remus Lupine!" he said through gritted teeth.

"Severus, that was an accident. The Boggart was practicing the Patronus Charm for Harry." Lupine stepped back vigilantly, Snape's state was not right.

"laugh!"

The fierce flames set the office on fire, igniting everything. Snape waved his wand in a disheveled way. Lupine retreated steadily. He could only hold on, using the Stunning Charm between Snape's attacks.

"What's going on here? Oh my God!"

A cheerful female voice appeared at the door, and Lupine only saw the person with bubblegum pink hair, but then she was sent flying by a stun spell and disappeared from sight.

"Snape, stop, someone is hurt!"

But Snape lost his composure in a rare way. He turned a deaf ear to Lupin's shouts. The spells were more powerful than the last. He used strange black magic recklessly, and a black light appeared on his face.

As Lupine faded, Snape waved his wand grimly.

At this moment, a crisp cry suddenly appeared, and a silver swift condensed in midair, cutting the battlefield into two halves.

"Severus, Professor Lupine, please stop..."

A black spell flew over, and the silver swift fluttered its wings slightly to avoid the attack, "Severus, you—"

"Go away!"

Lupine said hastily, "Snape hit the box where I kept the Boggart and came out of it—"

"Shut up! Mouth! Lupine!"

Snape interrupted him furiously, he was brewing a terrible magic, the room began to shake, centered on him, the ground quickly corroded outwards.

The guardian spirit of Swift swelled suddenly, and white light burst out from its body. Dazzling halos spread like huge ripples, and Snape's unformed magic made a sizzling sound, bursting out at the junction There is a dark red electric light, and the two sides of the junction are diametrically opposite worlds, one is corrosion and darkness, and the other is warmth and light.

A gentle voice came from the Swift Patronus, "Severus, calm down."

Lupine hurriedly said: "Severus, we have found new clues, Peter Pettigrew is not dead, he is still alive, everything is directed and acted by himself!"

Snape seemed to wake up, he took the initiative to dispel the magic, the light of the Patronus spread over him, constantly washing the black air on his face, he leaned against the wall, and sat down slowly.

The patron saint of Swift left a sentence, "I'll be right over." Then it turned into little blue and white stars.

After a while, Felix appeared in the office. Most of the room was destroyed, a small half of the furniture was corroded, and the other half was still burning with small flames. A row of wooden boxes were neatly cut open, and the incisions were as smooth as a mirror.

"Whirlwind sweep away!" The smoke and dust in the room were taken away, and the flames were extinguished.

Snape sat leaning against the wall, staring at the ceiling motionless, his black eyes were like stones, and there was no line of sight in his eyes.Lupine was tending to a comatose young woman, and when he caught one look, it was Tonks.

Felix frowned, this is really hot, because Sirius Black?He looked around, but he didn't see Sirius in the knight's can, so he wouldn't be killed, would he?
Snape had no intention of communicating with others at all, he could only walk up to Professor Lupine, "How could it be like this?"

Lupine said with a wry smile: "It's all accidents, a series of accidents."

Felix looked at Tonks on the sofa, "Why is she here?"

"I don't know, it seems that he ran out suddenly, maybe he wanted to persuade a fight? He was stunned by my stun spell..."

"It's just the Stunning Charm?" Felix looked at Tonks' face, she didn't seem to be awake at all.

"She's fine," Lupine explained. "I haven't dispelled the magic. It's really inappropriate in this situation... I can't take her to the school hospital either."

If he undoes the stun spell, Tonks will definitely see the scene of the two Hogwarts professors fighting each other. Although he has already seen it, Sirius can easily be involved; if she is taken to the school hospital, He was also worried that something might go wrong on Snape's side, so he had to let her wait first.

"Understood," Felix cast another stun spell on Tonks, "I'll send her to the school hospital in a while, without saying anything."

Felix picked a chair with the back cut off and sat down, gave Lupine a look, and raised his voice, "Professor Lupine, explain what happened, didn't you tell Severus, Is Peter Pettigrew the culprit?"

He lip-synced for Lupine to pull on Peter Pettigrew.

Lupine understood, and he said in as much detail as possible: "On the first day of school after the Christmas holiday, in the staff lounge next to the auditorium, we and Principal Dumbledore speculated that there were huge doubts about the murders of James and Lily, because Sirius had There was a good chance of killing Harry, but he didn't, and his target was Harry's friend, Ron Weasley."

"I don't remember very well," said Felix.

"Then let me explain again - Sirius Black is an Animagus, and he can turn into a big black dog, and similarly, James can turn into a stag, and Peter Pettigrew can turn into a mouse ’” Lupine said mockingly, “they’re for keeping me company on the full moon, a werewolf.”

"In this way, the reason why Black escaped from Azkaban is clear, but why did he attack Ron Weasley?" Felix continued to ask, Snape's eyes rolled in the corner of his eye.

"Ron had a mouse, to be precise, it was their family's, and the mouse suddenly appeared at the Weasleys' house and stayed there for 12 years, until Sirius attacked during the holidays and disappeared without a trace. But We saw an image of it, exactly like Peter Pettigrew's Animagus!"

"So, he didn't die? The winner of the Order of Merlin First Class, the war hero, Peter Pettigrew, not only didn't die, but instead hid his name incognito and became a pet in a wizard's family?"

Lupine looked at Felix strangely, but he could only follow his words: "Yes, this is the biggest doubt, so we suspect something else is hidden. Professor Haipu, why is Sirius in your hands? Turned into a magic puppet?"

"I caught him, and then we—Dumbledore and I plan to set up a trap to lure Peter Pettigrew. Your help will definitely be indispensable at that time, so the secrecy is temporary." Felix explained.

Lupine anxiously asked the biggest question in his heart, hoping to get an answer: "So, Sirius is innocent? But he is the secret keeper of the James family, and the Fidelity Curse cannot be broken at all, just like an unbreakable oath , if he is innocent..."

"You didn't ask him?"

"Did not have time."

"Okay," Felix thought for a while, and decided to use this opportunity to explain clearly, and he also said this to Snape, "Because the secret keeper changed, Sirius thought he was too conspicuous, so he privately put the secret keeper In place of humble Peter Pettigrew."

"So that's how it is," Lupine murmured. "At that time, the operations in the Order of the Phoenix leaked information many times. Everyone suspected that there was a traitor, and people were panicked."

"So—" Snape stood up, "Peter Pettigrew is Voldemort's real undercover agent?"

Lupine looked at Snape in surprise, he even called Voldemort's name directly, and the original suspicion disappeared all of a sudden.You know, when Dumbledore tried to protect Snape, he was still shocked.

Snape said indifferently: "Exchanging secret keeper? Stupid!"

"Severus..."

But he ignored Lupine, and limped off, saying, "About Peter Pettigrew . . . what you need me to do, let Felix tell me."

Lupine opened and closed his mouth, said nothing, and watched him go quietly.

"Leave him alone," said Felix, looking around. "You've hit him too hard." In the whole room, except for the sofa on which Tonks was lying, there was no other place to stay. place.

"Oh, it was all accidents..." Lupine sighed, he sighed too many times today.

"This office is no longer available. You can discuss it with Dumbledore and change it."

"That's the only way to go." Lupine said. Fortunately, he released some magical creatures for teaching a few days ago, otherwise few of them would have survived. The only living creature, the Boggart, was blown to pieces. , Not even a wisp of blue smoke was left.

"By the way, where did you hide Sirius?" Felix asked.

Lupine was taken aback, he had long forgotten about it, "During the battle just now, I threw him out of the window..." Looking at Felix's strange eyes, he said guiltyly: "I let him Look for you."

"Well, okay." Felix shrugged, "I hope it won't be picked up by some little wizard."
