94 hp Diagon Alley

When I ordered a piece of chocolate nut ice cream made by the elves, I received a thousand paper cranes gliding over.

Inside is a familiar font, slender, scribbled, flamboyant, as if Hermione wrote it out in a hurry:

"Gwen,

Please be at the Whomping Willow at [-]pm, we need your help!

PS Bring the mousetrap, you can follow Professor Snape. "

Gwen pinched the unfolded note, showing a troubled expression.Merlin bless, do they have to come every year at the end of term?

[At this time, two figures hiding behind the castle were discussing in a low voice, and they turned out to be Harry and Hermione.

"Will she go? I don't see why we're taking Gwen on," Harry gasped.

Hermione tried hard to clear her chaotic thoughts, and then said firmly, "Ron is not here, we need a helper who has not been involved in the past from beginning to end and is smart enough. Most importantly, Gwen's mouse cage can catch Peter .”

Harry was as dazed as if he had just jumped off some roller coaster. He thought for a while before nodding, "You're right, we must never let him get away this time. For my parents, for...Sirius."

Hermione put away the long necklaces around their necks, "It's up to us next, remember what Dumbledore said? We may save more than one innocent life."

Then Harry had an idea. "Hermione, we're going to see Buckbeak!"

"But—how does that help Sirius?"

Harry was silent, "I don't know, Hermione. But if Dumbledore is implying that we should do this, there must be a reason for him."]

Gwen sighed deeply from the side of the castle. "Well," she said to herself, "who made me a Gryffindor? No amount of scruples can beat the whims of a young man." Then She picked up the note, "But this time I have to prepare well, at least I won't be able to enter the medical wing again."

So before eight o'clock, Gwen hid outside the gate of Hogwarts Castle.She vaguely saw a black figure holding a huge scythe in the pumpkin field, there were a few messy male voices, and then there was a silence.There was the sound of the ax swinging and a dull thump without warning.Several figures gathered in the Forbidden Forest, and a bunch of crows flew away.

Poor Buckbeak.

Before Gwen could observe a moment of silence for the hippogriff, the castle door opened again, and Snape went out, running to the Whomping Willow.Gwen quickly followed quietly.

Gwen saw Snape stopped by the tree, looked around, grabbed a cloak under the tree, and held it up.Gwen felt eyes locked on her nearby, and couldn't help grasping her wand tightly.

Snape took a branch, poked a knot in the willow trunk, pulled on his cloak, and disappeared.

"(Mandrake) Grass! Is this Harry's Invisibility Cloak?" Gwen hurried forward, regardless of whether Snape would notice it, and got into the hole when he saw it.

【"So that's how it is," Hermione said calmly, hiding not far away, "We're all down there...now we can only wait until we come up again..."

She took the end of Buckbeak's rope, tied it securely to the nearest tree, and sat down on the dry ground.Put your arms around your knees. "I hope Gwen can catch Peter. If she knows the truth later, she must understand the meaning of the mouse cage." Then she asked:

"Harry, there's something I don't understand.. why didn't the dementors catch Sirius? I remember them coming. Then I probably passed out...there were so many of them..."

Harry sat down too.He told her what he'd seen; told her that a big silver thing had come galloping out of the woods just as the nearest dementor was about to put its mouth to Harry's.Forcing the Dementors to retreat.

Hermione's mouth opened a little when Harry finished. "But what is that?"

"There's only one thing that can keep a Dementor away," said Harry, "and that's a real Patronus. A powerful Patronus." "And who summoned it?" Harry paused, and said slowly, "But—probably as I imagined—I wasn't very clear at the time...I passed out immediately after that..."

"Who do you think that is?"

"I think—" Harry swallowed, knowing how weird that sounded, "I think that's my dad."

Harry glanced at Hermione to see that her mouth was completely open and shut.She stared at him with both panic and pity in her expression. 】

Gwen walked along the long hallway. She didn't think the tunnel in the Chamber of Secrets was so long last year.And she couldn't see Professor Snape, "He looked angry and excited, that's why he didn't notice me." Gwen used this reason to convince herself. "I can't do anything to hurt the professor this year, it's too shameful."

Finally out of the hall, it was a house, a messy, dusty house.The wallpaper had come off the walls, the floor was stained all over, pieces of furniture were broken and looked like they had been broken, the windows were boarded up.

"The bloody Barrow wouldn't live in this kind of place," Gwen kicked away a broken chair leg in disgust.

Then she felt a big hand lift the back of her neck, and the familiar dark voice came.

"Tell me, why are you - the Gryffindor student - here?" Professor Snape was still wearing the Invisibility Cloak, and even though Gwen couldn't see his face, he felt a deep sense of terror.

It's over, it was discovered.

"We're here!" cried Hermione suddenly from the second floor. "We're here - Sirius Black - quick!"

Snape let go of Gwen and warned her in a menacing tone, "Hurry up and go back to your dormitory."

Professor, at this time, even if I disappear in place, Gryffindor will be deducted 200 points.Gwen simply pretended to be obedient, then lifted her foot and followed Snape upstairs.

Gwen hadn't expected such a dramatic scene upstairs, with Harry, Ron and Hermione holding a shivering Scabbers across the room, and Ron seemed injured.Opposite them stood the fugitive from Azkaban—Sirius—he looked extremely dirty, his face was grim, and he was frighteningly thin, and beside him, he was still patiently talking to the students. Talk to Professor Lupine.

He seemed to be telling a story from the past.Gwen stood in Snape's shadow and rolled her eyes, what time is it?Even if you don't fight, there's no need to tell bedtime stories here.

"No wonder Snape didn't like you," said Harry slowly, "because he thought you were in on the joke."

"Yes," said a grim voice from outside the door behind Lupine.

Severus Snape dropped his Invisibility Cloak, pointing his wand at Lupine.

Hermione screamed.Blake jumped to his feet.Harry jumped up too, as if suddenly electrocuted.

"I found it under the roots of the Whomping Willow," said Snape, throwing the cloak aside, still careful not to let his wand stray from Lupine's chest. "Very useful, Potter. Thank you very much." ..."

Snape was slightly out of breath, but he had an overwhelming sense of triumph on his face. "You probably don't understand how I know you're here," he said.Eyes ablaze, "I just stopped by your office, Lupine. You forgot to take your medicine tonight, so I went over with a big glass. Luckily I did... I mean, I got lucky. There's a The map is on your desk. One look and I see everything I need to know. I see you walking down this aisle and then disappearing."

That's it, Gwen thought, but how did Hermione and the others know this?They were clearly trembling in front of their eyes right now.

"Severus, you're wrong," Lupine said eagerly, "you didn't hear the whole thing, I can explain that Sirius didn't come here to kill Harry..."

"Two more people are going to Azkaban tonight," said Snape, his eyes lighting up wildly. "I'd be interested to see what Dumbledore would do when he heard that. He believed You're harmless, you know, Lupine - a tame werewolf -"

Gwen covered her mouth and cursed the second time of the night. Her gentle and knowledgeable Defense Against the Dark Arts professor was not only with Sirius, but also a werewolf, and he didn't take his medicine tonight!Don't think about it, it must not be a good medicine.

"Give me a reason," he whispered, "Give me a reason for doing this." Blake didn't move a bit.At this time, people can't judge whose face has the deeper hatred.

Harry stood there, not knowing what to do or who to trust.He looked at Ron and Hermione.Ron was as confused as he was, just trying to hold on to the struggling Scabbers.However, Hermione took a hesitant step towards Snape and said breathlessly, "Professor Snape, listen...listen to what they have to say, there's nothing wrong with that, is there?"

"Miss Granger, you are already in danger of being suspended from school," Snape said with a sideways look at her. "It's outrageous for you, Potter and Weasley, to hang out with proven murderers and werewolves. Keep silent. Even if it's just once in your life."

Then he turned his head, "Revenge is sweet," Snape said to Black, "I wish I was the one who caught you..."

"That joke is working on you again, Severus," Black growled, "as long as the boy brings Scabbers back to the castle," he tossed his head in Ron's direction. "I'll be quiet
