The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

Ten minutes later, Link and Snape left the empty classroom.

Link walked ahead holding the thick black notebook, flipping through it as he walked, looking quite excited.

Snape was following behind him. Although the expression on his face was still cold, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

He was in a good mood.

The frank conversation in the unmanned classroom just now restored his relationship with Link.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, Link's approach is a bit excessive, but it is also excusable.

If it were a young Snape, he might have gone even further in order to learn the truth.

And Link can at least repent at the last moment, which is already very good. Snape feels that his love for Link has not been in vain for so many years.

As for that notebook, just give it to Link.

Anyway, his knowledge will be taught to Link sooner or later, so it doesn't matter if he gives it to him in advance now.

Besides, it’s not that easy to learn the things in that book...

The only thing that made Snape unhappy was that Link actually thought that he didn't give Link a Christmas gift because he was angry.

This is total slander!

How could he, Severus Snape, be such a small-minded person? !

He clearly didn't know what to give Link, so he didn't give it a gift in the end!

You can’t blame him!

He has been bad at giving gifts since he was a child!

As for the time I sent flowers to Lily, it was a complete blessing!

Of course, Snape would never tell Link the real reason.

Because he knew very well that with Link's bad character, if he knew the truth, he would definitely laugh at him!

Snape kept thinking wildly, but he suddenly discovered that Link, who was walking in front of him at some point, had turned his head and was looking at him with a half-smile.

'Oops!I forgot that this kid can do psychic spells!I guess he didn't see me snickering just now, right? '

Snape secretly said something bad, and then the expression on his face returned to a cold expression:

"What are you looking at!?"

Link waved his hand, smiled and said perfunctorily:

"Ah, it's nothing, just continue and leave me alone."

'This kid must have seen it! '

With this thought in mind, Snape used Occlumency at full capacity, and then suppressed the urge to go up and beat Link.

"Tell me! How are you going to capture Sirius Black?"

"You don't have to worry about this. I've already made a plan! As for now, I'm going to have a good sleep first."

Upon hearing Snape's question, Link closed the note in his hand and chuckled.

Although Blake escaped in the last fishing operation, the key bait is still in his hands, right?

In this case, just fish again.

Link was very confident in the attractiveness of the two baits, Harry and Peter Pettigrew. As long as he upgraded his fishing techniques, Black would still be fooled this time.

And he didn’t let go of Crookshanks’ ugly cat for no reason.

With this in mind, Link turned his head and looked in the direction of Hogsmeade through the arched bay window in the corridor.

He always felt that the wind and snow there seemed to be getting bigger.

……

At the same time, a dark figure was carefully avoiding the dementors on the street in the wind and snow, flying towards a dilapidated house in the wilderness.

That is the famous Shrieking Shack in Hogsmeade.

Since 1971, shrill wails have been heard from time to time in this abandoned building.

The villagers of Hogsmeade thought it was haunted and were afraid to go near it. They also enthusiastically warned everyone who wanted to explore.

But their good intentions turned this place into the most famous haunted house in the wizarding world of the entire country!

Many people who have been here insist that they have seen ghosts here!

At this moment, the dark figure was not afraid of the Shrieking Shack at all, and directly broke through its boarded door and rushed in.

thump!

Sirius Black was thrown on the dusty wooden floor like rubbish. After all this was done, the black shadow slowly faded, and finally revealed the figure hiding inside - Lime S. Lupin!

"Ahem! Remus! Can't you be gentler? Hahahaha!"

Sirius, who was lying on the floor, struggled to get up, complained a few words, and then laughed maniacally.

Then, he opened his arms towards Lupine, as if he wanted to step forward and give Lupine a hug.

However, Lu Ping raised his wand with a cold expression and pointed it at his eyebrows.

This made Sirius freeze, pointing at his face and saying in disbelief:

"Don't you recognize me Remus? I'm Black! Sirius Black!"

"Of course I know you! You were the one who killed James and Lily!"

Lupine said coldly, but his hand holding the wand began to tremble.

Upon hearing this, Black's eyes turned red, and he suddenly stepped forward as if he was ill, put his forehead on the tip of Lupin's staff, and yelled crazily:

"Yes! I killed James! Kill me! Remus! Please! Kill me!"

Lupine's hands shook even more.

He never wanted to kill Black from the beginning. At most, he just wanted to send him back to Azkaban.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken action to save Blake.

This is the brother who has spent his entire youth with him!

And he could see that Blake was not shouting now, but he was truly begging for death!

He wanted to use his own death to repent and make up for the mistakes he had made!

Lupine took a deep breath and decided to knock Black out and hand it over to the Ministry of Magic.

Because some things don’t just mean that if you repent, you can treat them as if they didn’t happen!

However, at this moment, Sirius's crazy eyes slowly became sober again.

As if he suddenly remembered something, he took a few steps back and screamed:

"No! You can't kill me! At least not yet! Remus! Go save Harry! Harry is in danger now! That guy Peter has been hiding next to Harry! Kill him first and then kill me!"

"Peter? Are you kidding?! Peter died 12 years ago! He was killed by you! How dare you mention him in front of me!?"

Lupine also became excited, and pressed the wand on Sirius' forehead again.

But Sirius was not afraid at all. With difficulty, he took out a piece of parchment from the pocket of his tattered coat and spread it out:

"I can prove it!"

"The Marauder's Map?! Why is it here with you?"

Sirius ignored Lupin, pointed to the several overlapping footprints above and said:

"You said Peter is dead? Then who is this?"

Lupine took a closer look and discovered that there were several names overlapped above the footprints, namely Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley, Harry Potter and - Peter Pettigrew!

"How is this possible? If he is still alive, why hasn't he shown up before? Unless..."

Lupine staggered back a few steps in disbelief, then raised his head and looked at Sirius and said, "Unless he is the traitor who betrayed James and Lily! You secretly changed the identity of the Secret Keeper to him. ?!”

Sirius nodded painfully, his sunken eyes staring at Lupine, with tears glinting in them.

"Merlin..."

Lupine groaned, stepping forward and hugging Sirius.

The sudden embrace made Sirius unable to hold on any longer.

He hugged Lupin tightly, tears welling up along with wailing sounds, and two white tear channels flowed down his dirty face.

The two of them just hugged each other in tears. After a while, Sirius pushed Lupine away and said half crazy and half serious:

"Remus, now is not the time to reminisce. Remember what I just said? You must go back and kill that traitor!"

Lu Ping shook his head a little dejectedly and said:

"I can't go back. Dumbledore and the others must have discovered that I am no longer in the castle."

"Just say you are going after me! Let's do that! I'll cut off a hand and let you take it back, so they can always believe you!"

After saying this, Sirius held the dagger as if to cut his hand.

Lupine quickly stopped him, pointed to the names of Link and Snape on the Marauder's Map and said:

"Don't waste your efforts. Link is very smart. He and Snape will never be fooled by this method."

Sirius looked at the Marauder's Map and said viciously:

"Link Foley! That monster!"

This time Lupine did not refute Sirius. After discovering so many abnormalities in Link, he also somewhat agreed with Sirius's point of view.

Just when the two were helpless, an unpleasant meowing sound and scratching at the door suddenly sounded in the room.

Lupine immediately raised his wand vigilantly.

But Sirius looked happy and hurriedly opened a trap door in the corner of the room.

Immediately afterwards, an ugly ginger cat was picked up.

This made Lupine a little confused.

Of course he knew that the ugly cat in front of him, whose face looked like it had been hit with a hammer, was Hermione's Crookshanks, but the question was, why did it appear here?

And he looks very familiar with Sirius?

"Remus, I have an idea."

Sirius first made love with Crookshanks for a while, then looked at Lupin and said, "The kid named Ron protected Peter very well. Crookshanks couldn't catch Peter directly. But this did not prevent Cruickshanks from catching Peter." Keshan attracted Harry and Peter here!"

"Um, are you sure this works? It's just a cat..."

"Of course Crookshanks can! You're right? Crookshanks!"

Crookshanks answered Black with action.

With a slight leap, it returned to the trap door again.

……

"What? You want to use Harry Potter and the others as bait? I will never allow it!"

In the Hogwarts Castle the next morning, Snape roared as soon as he heard about Link's plan.

When Link, who was walking in front, saw this, he said with a smile from the corner of his eyes:

"When did you care about Harry so much? Aren't you the one who usually bullies Harry the most? Besides, his father, James Potter, bullied you back then."

As soon as Link said this, Snape was immediately speechless. He was stunned for a while and then said firmly:

"This, this is different! I am a professor! I am responsible for the safety of my students!"

Link whistled and mocked:

"Wow! Professor Snape, you are really dedicated to your job!"

Snape's face turned red with anger, and he reached out to grab Link, but Link was able to dodge him.

He also knew very well that he could no longer tease Snape's petty mind, and said hurriedly:

"Don't worry, with the two of us following them to protect them, nothing will happen to them! Besides, isn't there Dumbledore?"

Snape was already taking out his wand. When he heard the words Dumbledore, he stopped and looked at Link with a gloomy expression:

"Okay, so what exactly are you going to do?"

"Pah! This is too easy!"

Link said as he snapped his fingers, then walked along the corridor and entered the foyer.

Snape originally wanted to follow, but Harry and Hermione suddenly walked into the auditorium from the other side, which made him hurriedly retreat into the shadows.

Link, on the other hand, didn't even try to cover up, and walked directly towards Harry and the other three.

"Hey! Harry, Ron and Hermione, good morning!"

"morning!"

Harry greeted instinctively, looking confused.

Ron stepped forward and asked with concern:

"Link! Are you okay! What happened last night? Why were you taken to the principal's office?"

As for Hermione, she was stunned for a moment when she saw Link, lowered her head and remained silent.

Link didn't pay attention to her at all and said with a smile:

"In fact, I was attacked by Sirius Black last night, but he was obviously no match for me. Then he wanted to run away, so I chased him."

"cool!"

Ron's wide eyes began to sparkle with stars.

Even though Link's statement just now sounded like Lockhart's boasting, Ron just wanted to believe it.

There was no way. Ever since Link helped him retrieve Scabbers, he had always felt that there was nothing in the world that Link couldn't do.

Harry's focus was completely different from Ron's. Hearing this, he suddenly got excited and asked hurriedly:

"Did you catch him then?"

Link stared at Harry for a while before sighing:

"Unfortunately, Harry, he escaped through an unknown secret passage."

Harry said nothing and clenched his fists with a disappointed look on his face. Ron on the side also reacted and began to comfort him.

Link saw this and said:

"But, I came up with an idea with the professors last night. If it goes well, we should be able to catch Black."

"What!?"

"Harry, that secret passage is located near the Whomping Willow. Sirius Black was able to sneak into Hogwarts because of it. I need you three to take the mice Scabbers and Crookshanks and pretend there. Play, so that Sirius Black might be tempted to come out and attack you. The professors and I will watch from the sidelines, and as long as he dares to show up, we will catch him!"

Link said seriously, "Of course, you can refuse, Harry. After all, this plan will have certain risks, and no one knows whether the crazy Sirius Black will hurt you first. So I think it must be done. I’d like to ask for your opinion.”

"You want to use Harry as bait? Harry! You must not agree!"

Hermione, who had been silent, suddenly raised her head and said in disbelief.

However, Harry didn't even look at her, clenched his fists and said:

"I promise you! As long as I can catch that bastard who betrayed my parents, I promise you anything!"

"Then, the plan starts when you finish your classes this afternoon. Good luck to you!"

After saying that, Link patted Harry on the shoulder, turned around and walked out of the hall again.

And when he turned the corner, he bumped into Snape hiding in the shadows.

At this moment, he was staring intently at the three Harrys who had started arguing again in the auditorium.

Perhaps noticing Link's arrival, he said quietly:

"What a reckless, self-righteous fool! Being so easily carried away by the anger of revenge is just like..."

"Just like his father." Link interrupted with a smile, "Are you right?"

Snape glared at Link and turned away without saying anything.
