Master Druid at Hogwarts

Chapter 386 Showing your feet!

The sky was getting dark, and the Hogwarts students, who had been excited all day, fell asleep one after another exhaustedly.

Well, except for a certain little fur cat wandering around the castle.

At the same time, a large black dog appeared near the Whomping Willow.

Sirius carefully sniffed around, making sure that there were no other Forbidden Forest creatures nearby, and then quickly ran towards the Whomping Willow, and rushed to the side of the tree trunk before its branches were drawn to him, and slapped it vigorously with his paws. Check out some of the knots above.

The dancing branches drooped down as if they had been drained of strength, and the Whomping Willow quickly regained its tranquility. Sirius calmly found the tunnel hidden beside the Whomping Willow, and then got into it.

During the day, Lupine had already left a mark on a certain tree on the edge of the Forbidden Forest in their special way of robbers. Although there was no other information other than that mark, Sirius still Came here tacitly.

The big black dog was moving fast in the tunnel, but he stopped suddenly after only walking about one-third of the tunnel.

Because Sirius noticed that Lupin's smell had suddenly started to fade, so he sniffed around carefully with his nose, then turned around and walked back.

After a while, Sirius found a note left by Lupine in a corner of the tunnel, which was also written in the robber's code language.

The content of the note was very simple. Lupine asked him to come to the Shrieking Shack to meet him after the next full moon night.

It wasn't that Lupine didn't want to ask Sirius about the truth earlier, the main reason was that in addition to Harry, who was watching him with the Marauder's Map, Snape also followed Lupine's whereabouts relentlessly.

Lupine even discovered that while he was away from school over Easter to pursue clues, Snape seemed to be using his own network to confirm his movements.

If Snape found out that he was in contact with Sirius, he certainly didn't have the patience to listen to Black's excuses, and he would immediately hand over Sirius and himself to the dementors as criminals, and the matter of Pettigrew Peter was just Black's one-sided statement, when they tried to defend, they couldn't find any evidence, so he couldn't help being careless.

Although Sirius was also in a hurry, as a criminal who had not been freed from suspicion, he could only follow Lupine's arrangement.

So while the two of them waited anxiously, less than a month passed quickly, and Lupine ushered in the night of the full moon that he disliked most.

After drinking the wolfsbane potion that Snape sent, he walked out of the castle alone, came to the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest, used a branch to poke through the knots of the Whomping Willow, and then got into the tunnel below it...

Another night passed, and Lupine paled back into human form, lying limp on his bunk in the Shrieking Shack as he had done several times before.

He didn't know when Sirius would come in, if it was really a scam, he would have no resistance at all when Sirius came in at this time...

But Lupine decided to gamble anyway.

After lying nervously on the bed and waiting for a while, Lupine finally couldn't resist his physical weakness and gradually fell asleep.

Until mid-morning, when Dobby brought Lupine breakfast, Sirius didn't show up...

From this point of view, Lupine seems to have made the right bet.

In fact, the anxious Sirius Black really wanted to find Lupine immediately and explain the situation clearly, but he also knew that Lupine would be very weak after transforming, so he waited until the morning before approaching the Whomping Willow, intending to come to find Lupine. Lupine.

In the end, he happened to see Dobby who came to deliver the food, and then he quickly pretended to be a wild dog passing by, wandered by the Whomping Willow for a while, and then walked away without attracting Dobby's attention .

After realizing that there would be an elf delivering dinner to Lupin, Sirius could only suppress his eagerness, and waited until Dobby finished delivering the dinner and left before he got into the tunnel.

"Long time no see, Moon Face."

A bearded Sirius appeared in the Shrieking Shack, greeting Lupine who was still eating.

Lupine put down the food in his hands, looked at Sirius's chin that was rounder than his own, and fell silent...

"Padfoot, you..." After a long time, he hesitated and said, "It seems that you have been doing well recently?"

Sirius Black: "..."

"Ahem..." Lupine also noticed that there was something wrong with his speech, he quickly cleared his throat, quickly took out his wand and pointed it at Black, and said, "Then, Padfoot, everything that happened back then will be completely wiped out." tell me."

Although judging from Sirius' behavior just now, it was basically certain that he hadn't lied, but Lupine still cautiously wanted to confirm it again, and by the way asked about those details that he couldn't figure out.

Sirius, who was pointed at by the wand, didn't pay attention at all. He sat cross-legged on the ground carelessly, raised his head, looked at Lupine sitting on the bed with regret, and let out a long sigh.

"We changed the secret person..."

With a bitter voice, Sirius talked about his stupid decision back then.

While Sirius was explaining what happened to Lupine, Harry Potter and Ron Weasley were staying in their dormitory, picking out all the homework that had to be done today, and putting them all together Stacked on the corner of the table.

Harry looked around furtively, made sure that there was no one else in the dormitory, and hurriedly greeted, "Ron, block it for me."

Ron immediately stood behind Harry cooperatively, blocking Harry with his body, so that even if someone suddenly broke in at this time, he would not be able to see what he was doing.

Harry, who was blocked by him, held his wand and tapped lightly on the parchment.

"I solemnly swear that I will not do good deeds."

Harry lowered his voice, said the spell, and black ink lines and dots quickly drew a map on the blank parchment.

He quickly adjusted the position of the map to the Whomping Willow, and found that there was nothing special, so he put the Marauder's Map on his lap, and then started writing homework with Ron.

The Screaming Shack was too far away from Hogwarts, beyond the range of the Marauder's Map, so Harry could only monitor the situation near the Whomping Willow and some of the secret passages during the two days when the full moon was full.

But after such a long time, there was nothing strange about Lupine, and even Ron didn't doubt him much anymore.

Harry is still monitoring Lupine now, apart from being unwilling to lose Black's clues, it's more...

got used to.

Harry's main thoughts were on his homework, only occasionally glancing at the Marauder's Map in his lap.

"Ron, lend me your herbal medicine homework for reference."

After finishing the Transfiguration class homework in his hand, Harry handed it to Ron and whispered to Ron, this is the reference stream writing method that works for the two of them, which can double the efficiency...

It's just that Miss Know-it-all couldn't see it very well, and she once advised them a few words, but it's a pity that Harry and Ron didn't take it seriously at all, and Hermione didn't bother to care about it.

"Wait a minute," Ron replied without looking up, the quill in his hand was scribbling quickly on the paper, "I'm just a little bit better."

Harry, who was fine for the time being, turned his gaze back to the Marauder's Map, and there were a few small black spots flying past near the Whomping Willow. Judging by the speed, they should be flying creatures like owls or thestrals.

Just when he was about to look back, at the edge of the map, a black dot suddenly appeared in the secret passage.

Lupine recovered so early this time?

Harry frowned slightly. If he remembered correctly, Lupine had to lie down in the Screaming Shack for two or three days after every full moon.

Out of curiosity, Harry lowered his body, squinted his eyes and looked carefully at the little black dot, beside which his name was marked in extremely small characters——

Sirius Black.
