Chapter 90 Snape's Request

However, Regulus underestimated Sirius' concern for Harry and the audacity of his actions.

One day at noon, as soon as he finished lunch, he was blocked in the corridor on the fourth floor by a big black dog.

"It seems that you have turned a deaf ear to my words." Regulus said depressedly, looking at Sirius who had returned to his human form.

There was nothing he could do about this kind of infiltration. Who knew the man in front of him knew all about the secret passages in and out of Hogwarts?

"I have to ask! Is Harry and Voldemort..." Sirius said anxiously, ignoring Regulus's complaints.

"Shut up! Someone is coming!"

The two immediately pretended to chat there, and several Ravenclaw girls walked up the stairs happily without paying attention.

And Percy Weasley pretended to be casual and got out from behind a suit of armor.

"Hello, Penello. It's a coincidence that I met you again. Do you want to go to the library together?" Percy greeted a long-haired Ravenclaw girl in an unnatural tone, causing those girls to hesitate. Chirping laughter.

Percy's face quickly turned as red as his hair.

"This is not the place to talk." Regulus frowned and said softly to Sirius.

"Then go to your office?"

"Aren't you always curious about what's on the eighth floor? Let's go."

Under the guidance of the Marauder's Map, the two successfully avoided those students who did not have lunch breaks and successfully arrived at the Room of Requirement.

"Please come in." Regulus said seriously, pointing to the smooth door emerging from the wall.

Sirius held the brass handle and opened the door. He was surprised to find that the layout of the room was exactly the same as the living room of No. 12 Grimmauld Place.

"Cool! Do you come here every time to talk to Tonks?" Sirius picked up a silver cup with the Black family crest and looked at it, "I remember I used to hide from Filch here, when it was just a Broom closets and stuff like that… aren’t they real?”

There was a soft pop and the cup in his hand disappeared.

"This is true, otherwise it would be too amazing." Sirius praised.

"It's a pity that food can't be produced in this room." Regulus said with a slight regret.

"Of course, that is one of the five exceptions to Gamp's basic law of transformation... Forget about that, tell me, what exactly happened to Harry?"

"Dumbledore believes that the failed Avada Kedavra may have created a close connection between Harry and the Dark Lord. Harry may have acquired some... abilities of the Dark Lord, such as Parseltongue." Lei Gulus struggled to choose his words.

"So?" Sirius asked hurriedly.

"The specific situation still needs to be observed. After all, this kind of thing has never happened before. Dumbledore and I are preparing to destroy the Horcrux. Maybe by then, there will be some reactions on Harry, and we can use this to deduce the truth." Regulus said, "By the way, where is Harry? He won't go to the Weasley house again, will he?"

Sirius pointed at the Marauder's Map and explained: "I asked him to drink tea at Hagrid's place. Wait for me for half an hour. You should be able to see him on the map..."

His pupils constricted and his voice became lower and lower.

The Marauder's Map shows that Hagrid's hut is empty.

In the clearing, the small dot marked Hagrid was moving quickly and aimlessly.

"Where's Harry?" Sirius spread out the map hurriedly, trying to find traces of Harry.

At the same time, the students sitting in the corridor, reading books, practicing magic, or simply dating, did not notice that an invisible child just walked past them.

The towering castle of Hogwarts stood right in front of Harry.

Harry, who listened to Sirius telling wonderful stories about school every day, certainly couldn't give up this opportunity to find out.

So while Hagrid was pouring tea, he put on the invisibility cloak and slipped out of the hut.

He fell asleep looking at the Marauder's Map every day, and had an idea of ​​the general location of Hogwarts. Under the cover of the invisibility cloak, he quickly walked through the corridors and arrived inside the castle.

Those ever-changing stairs dazzled Harry.

Antique sculptures and armors, as well as portraits of different styles on the walls, show the antiquity and legend of the castle.

In one of the frames, there was a short knight wearing obviously mismatched armor, riding a pony that was as funny as him. Instead of holding a lance, he held a strange-shaped wand, shouting slogans: A bipedal flying dragon charged.

Harry was fascinated, but accidentally bumped into someone, and the invisibility cloak slipped off.

The man was dressed in black clothes and robes, with jet black hair and eyes. His cold gaze passed over his huge aquiline nose and rested on Harry's exposed face.

After looking at each other for a moment, Harry found that he couldn't move.

The invisibility cloak was roughly placed on his head, and then Harry floated in front of the man in black like a puppet on strings, walking down a spiral staircase.

In the Room of Requirement, Sirius finally found the dot marked Harry Potter among hundreds of names.

"Here! He's in the corridor on the first floor, and..." Sirius' eyebrows quickly knitted into knots, "...the Snivellus is together. It's broken. We have to find him quickly!"

Sirius picked up the map and ran towards the door in a hurry.

"I have to suggest that you add a search function on the map to facilitate locating a certain person." Regulus reluctantly caught up with Sirius and suggested.

"I'll think about it!" After going out, Sirius ignored the surprised students and started running wildly.

After passing through the narrow corridor, Harry was taken into a dark room that smelled strongly of medicine and was surrounded by storage shelves.

Hundreds of glass bottles were placed on it, reaching to the ceiling. The glass bottles contained potions of various colors and were soaked with various slimy animal and plant specimens.

He accidentally saw a strange creature soaking in a glass bottle next to him, and immediately got goosebumps all over his body.

"Harry Potter." The man in black suddenly spoke.

"Do you know me?" Harry suddenly realized that he could move and asked doubtfully, "Are you a teacher at Hogwarts?"

The man in black slowly approached Harry, staring into his green eyes without saying a word.

"Who are you?" Harry felt a little uneasy and asked again.

"The famous Harry Potter." The man in black spoke in a volume that was barely above a whisper, but Harry heard it softly and clearly, "He is as arrogant as his father and doesn't know the word danger. How to fight..."

"Do you know my father?" Harry quickly refined the key points of the man in black's words, but he had a vague feeling that the man in front of him might not be his father's friend.

"James Pott? That's right, you have an annoying face exactly like him." The man in black's black eyes flashed with cold light, and hissed, "Enter the Huo without permission." Gwarts Castle, let me take a look, it seems there is no precedent... But I think you don’t have to come to school next year.”

"What...what do you mean...I don't understand?"

"The Headmaster, Professor Severus Snape, will formally propose to the Headmaster that you be deprived of your qualifications for admission. Do you understand?" The man in black announced his home address, and the sentence uttered by his thin lips was full of malice, " If your low understanding is not enough for you to understand, then I suggest..."

Harry could not hear what Snape suggested, because the wooden door of the office had been violently opened, and Sirius with disheveled hair rushed in.

"Snotlout, why did you bring Harry here?" Sirius gasped, pulling Harry behind him and asking Snape.

"I should ask you this question, Black." Snape raised his head, stared at Sirius and sneered, "As far as I know, there is no reason for you to appear in Hogwarts. As a professor of the school, , have the responsibility to drive idlers out of the school in order to maintain normal...teaching order."

Harry was horrified to find that both of them had raised their wands and pointed at each other, with hatred written all over their faces, and they were likely to start a fight if they disagreed.

At this time, Regulus also rushed to the office, and Harry seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw: "Sir... stop them quickly..."

"Rael, stay out of your own business!" Sirius roared angrily.

"You'd better let him help you," Snape taunted, "just like you're most accustomed to."

Without saying a word, Regulus pulled Harry to the corner.

"them……"

"Children, stay out of adults' business," Regulus said gloomily, and also pulled out his wand.

"It seems that Azkaban doesn't allow you to learn your lesson, Black, you are still keen on doing stupid things..." Snape muttered softly, trying to anger Sirius, "You loser dog and wretch, because of your stupid decision , killed..."

Snape suddenly stopped talking, the muscles on his cheeks twitched horribly, and his thin lips trembled violently.

The dark eyes that had been staring intently at Sirius also briefly lost their focus.

But his taunt was obviously successful, and Sirius exploded completely.

A dazzling firelight hovered in the room, and the sound of crackling glass bottles was endless.

Snape's counterattack was equally quick, and the two spells flew past Sirius, leaving deep marks on the stone wall like knife cuts.

"Protect them all! Armor protection!" Regulus immediately used a spell to block himself and Harry in the barrier, and the aftermath of the spell exploded into fireworks on the barrier.

Harry was completely stunned.

The godfather who is usually amiable and even willing to turn into a dog to play with him, turns out to be so scary when he is angry.

He even forgot that his godfather had also been on the wanted list for a while, and everyone believed him.

Sirius and Snape waved their wands wildly and fired poison spells at each other. Regulus had to continue to strengthen his shield to prevent Harry from being accidentally injured.

"stop fighting!"

Finally, after Sirius exploded one of Snape's black snakes, Harry screamed in a tearful voice.

When Sirius was distracted, he had already been hit by Snape's disarming spell, and his wand flew out of his hand, hit the ceiling, and fell aside.

"Game over..." Before Snape could finish his words, two vines suddenly grew out of the ground and entangled his feet.

"What the hell!" Snape immediately waved his wand, and the invisible sharp blade cut off the vines.

"Do you like it? I'm new to this!" Taking advantage of this short gap, Sirius jumped up and punched Snape hard in the eye.

Snape stumbled, tripped over his chair and fell, dropping his wand.He hurriedly went to grab the wand, but Sirius kicked him first and kicked the wand under the cabinet.

But Snape reacted quickly, grabbed a potion jar that fell on the ground, threw it at Sirius' face, and dragged Sirius down while he was avoiding the splashing potion.

As a result, the wizard duel turned into a Muggle brawl.

Seeing the two powerful wizards rolling to the ground without grace like drunkards, fighting each other with fists and kicks, and greeting each other with dirty words, Regulus finally couldn't help but take action.

He waved his wand, and after a few flashes of light, the hands and feet of the two entangled people immediately became weak and weak, and then they were forcibly separated by the spell and bound to both sides of the office, as if bound by invisible ropes.

"I have to remind you that as guardians and future teachers, fighting in front of children is very damaging to our image." Regulus said helplessly, "We'd better clean up this place first..."

Before he finished speaking, there were suddenly several knocks on the door.

"I'm not free!" Snape shouted in disgust.

"It's me, Severus..."

The room suddenly became quiet, and everyone knew who the owner of this old voice was.

The door to Snape's office slowly opened, revealing Dumbledore's tall and thin figure wearing silver-grey wizard robes.

"I heard from Sir Cadogan that there was an accident here..." Dumbledore stepped into the room, his blue eyes slowly scanning the messy office through the lenses.

There were broken bottles and cans all over the floor, and some unknown liquids reacted together and were hissing, and there was also choking smoke coming out.

Sirius's palms were dripping with blood, a crocodile heart was stuffed in his mouth, and blood was still bleeding from his left nostril.

Snape's right eye was beaten purple, and there was a bloody cut on his eyebrow bone. He was lying on the ground, spitting out one of his front teeth in anger.

Regulus stood in front of the storage cabinet with a nonchalant look on his face. Next to him was Harry, who had not had time to put on the Invisibility Cloak.

"...Can you tell me what's going on?"

Dumbledore's question was obviously addressed to the only person in the room who was in a reasonably normal mood.

"It's a long story..." Regulus shrugged and replied helplessly, "Maybe it's an old grudge."

Dumbledore sighed and waved his wand, and the broken glass bottles immediately put themselves back together, the scattered medicinal materials were put back inside, and the reacting medicinal solution disappeared out of thin air.

He walked up to Harry, lowered his head and said, "Harry Potter, you shouldn't be here."

Harry glanced at the miserable Sirius and knew that he had caused trouble, so he was ashamed and said nothing.

"As for you, Sirius, if you are still studying in Gryffindor House, I will definitely deduct two hundred points from you, plus a semester of confinement." Dumbledore turned to Sirius again and said sternly.

"Sir, I just wanted to..." Sirius slurred as he tried to explain.

But Dumbledore raised a slender finger, shook it, and said, "I know, we will find a way."

There was a flash of light, and the binding spells on Sirius and Snape were lifted.

Sirius stopped arguing, just picked up his wand and healed his bleeding nose.

"Mr. Headmaster, as the owner of this office, can I make a small request?" Snape suddenly spoke in a soft and slow voice.

"Sorry...Severus, please." Dumbledore turned to Snape.

Snape stood up straight and brushed away the messy hair in front of him. Blood continued to flow from the corners of his cracked eyes, dyeing half of his sallow cheeks red.

His cold eyes passed over the Black brothers, stayed on Harry's face for about a second, and then landed on Dumbledore's face.

"Please disappear from this room immediately."
