Hogwarts lazy snake

Chapter 238 The Screaming Shack

Sirius' heart was filled with torment. He was very aware of his dangerous situation. The arrest warrant issued by the Ministry of Magic had almost put him in a desperate situation, making it difficult for him to find a place to stay.

Every time there was a slight noise outside, even just a slight breeze, he would instantly tense up, thinking that the Aurors had tracked him down.

In fact, the Ministry of Magic may have no time to take care of him as one of the many fugitives. Due to Voldemort's prison break, the current situation has become more complicated and serious.

Not only are there Aurors searching everywhere openly, but secretly, the Night Guardians are also trying their best to track down Voldemort's whereabouts while also arresting those fugitive criminals.

Moreover, when the guardian catches a criminal and hands him over to the Ministry of Magic, the criminal's life or death is entirely determined by the guardian.

Then again, Sirius Black, who was in the Shrieking Shack, was still worried about Harry's safety. After all, when he saw the rat on Weasley's body, he immediately recognized it as Peter Pettigrew, who was supposed to be dead.

It was also at the moment when he discovered Peter Pettigrew that many speculations arose in his mind, the strongest of which was that the person who informed Voldemort that year was this timid guy.

Therefore, Sirius Black was extremely worried that the other party was deliberately lurking around Weasley with the intention of harming Harry.

So he tried to organize the pets of the students in Hogwarts to drive Sirius away from Hogwarts, so that he would have a chance to catch that guy.

What’s infuriating is that Peter Pettigrew actually hid in the Room of Requirement, which left Sirius with no choice but to let the pets monitor outside the house.

Just when Blake was about to vent his anger on the shabby sofa, he keenly noticed someone coming in.

Out of instinct, he immediately turned around and pounced on the newcomer. As for why he didn't use a wand, it was because after escaping from Azkaban, he just hurriedly snatched the wand of a Death Eater and then fled in a hurry.

Later, when he learned that his brother's children had entered Hogwarts and unexpectedly discovered that a dead person had been resurrected, his mind was completely focused on planning how to capture Peter Pettigrew. He had no time to change to a handy wand so that he could cast spells quickly to deal with emergencies.

However, Blake never expected that the person coming was much stronger than him and much faster than him.

In comparison, ever since he came to Hogwarts, he had either been rummaging through garbage in Hogsmeade to fill his stomach or catching mice to satisfy his hunger. His body had long been weak, so he was easily pushed down on the sofa by the other party.

Then, he heard the other party questioning loudly: "Black! Why? Why did you do that? I trust you so much! James and Lily too! Why did you do that! Ah!"

Black looked carefully and saw who it was, and quickly responded: "Lupin, I will explain it to you!"

At this time, Lupin's face was flushed red, and he held the wand tightly in his hand, pointing it straight at the other party. His eyes were wide open, staring at Black in front of him, his chest heaving violently, and he gasped constantly.

The two of them just stared at each other. Lupin looked at Black's almost pleading look, which was completely different from the image of the spirited and elegant nobleman in his memory.

After a while, Lupin threw his body heavily onto the sofa and said to Black: "Okay, you explain, I'll see how you can explain it!"

In fact, over the years, Lupin did not completely believe in his heart that it was Black who informed on James and Lily, leading to their deaths.

When Lupin first learned from the newspaper that Black was a Death Eater and had killed his brother's family, he always felt that he had trusted the wrong person and indirectly led to this tragedy.

Now that he finally had the chance to question him face to face, Lupin was eager to see how Black would explain it all.

Sirius took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. His eyes revealed fatigue and determination. He slowly said, "Lupin, you know I would never do such a thing. Back then, it must have been Peter Pettigrew, he was Voldemort's spy."

Plans cannot keep up with changes, and Blake can only speak out his guesses.

Lupin frowned, his eyes full of suspicion: "What evidence do you have? Peter is dead, everyone has seen it. You are actually using a dead person to make excuses!"

Lupin's voice began to get louder and louder.

Sirius smiled bitterly, "He's not dead. He turned into a rat and has been lurking around that Weasley family. I only discovered it recently."

Lupin's eyes began to waver, but he remained alert: "This is ridiculous, Black. You want to say that Peter framed you, forget it, but now you are talking nonsense like this?"

Sirius said eagerly: "I can prove that as long as we can catch him and expose his true form, everything will be revealed. Lupin, you know how I could betray James and Lily, they are the most important people in my life!"

Lupin fell into deep thought, recalling the time he spent with Sirius, James and others, and those beautiful memories kept emerging in his mind.

He knew that Sirius and James had a deep friendship, and he also understood Sirius's character, but this matter was of great importance after all, and he could not completely believe it based on Sirius' one-sided words.

Although Lupin thought so, deep down in his heart he already believed Black's words to some extent.

"So what should we do next?" Lupin finally asked, his tone slightly softened.

Sirius' eyes flashed with hope, because what Luke said was what we should do, not what you should do: "We must find a way to catch Peter. We can't let him continue to be at large and endanger Harry. I have let those animals monitor the Room of Requirement. He can't run away."

"Oh, look what I see? A dangerous werewolf and a vicious criminal who escaped from Azkaban. I said Dumbledore shouldn't have allowed a dirty guy like you to work at Hogwarts. Tsk, tsk, now I've caught you."

At this time, a figure appeared in front of the two of them, pointing a magic wand at them.

"Severus! It's you!" When Lupin saw Snape, he remembered that he had just felt someone was following him. It turned out to be Snape.

Snape ignored Lupin's words and cast his eyes on Black who was about to make a move: "I advise you not to make any small moves, otherwise the Ministry of Magic may receive a torn Black."
