Chapter 98 It's This Screaming Shack Again

Severus reluctantly let Qiubai, who had cast the Disillusionment Charm, wag his fingers.The anger in his heart miraculously disappeared slowly.But what he had to do was still to be done.

"Turn out your pockets, Potter!" Severus yelled at Harry, who shuddered in fright. "Turn out your pockets, or we'll go straight to the headmaster, and get them out, Potter!"

Harry was a little scared, but slowly brought out a bag of toy-like objects and a piece of parchment.Severus picked up the bag.

"Ron gave it to me," Harry explained immediately. "He bought it in Hogsmeade last time."

Qiubai covered her forehead, and knew it was a lie, poor Harry.

"Really? You've carried it with you since then? It's touching, what's that?" Severus picked up the parchment.

"A small piece of blank parchment." Harry shrugged.

Severus turned the parchment over and kept his eyes fixed on Harry. "Of course you don't need such an old parchment?" he said. "Why don't I just throw it away?" Throw the parchment in the fireplace.

"No!" Harry said quickly.

"That's right!" said Severus. "Isn't this another precious gift from Mr. Weasley to you? Or is it something else? A letter, perhaps, written in invisible ink, Or the instructions to enter Hogwarts without going through the dementors?"

Harry blinked nervously, and Severus' eyes lit up.Severus spread out the parchment on the table, and Qiubai stood beside him.

Severus took out his wand, "Reveal your secret!" he said, touching the parchment lightly with his wand.Nothing happened.

"Show!" Severus said again, tapping his wand sharply on the parchment, which was still blank.

"The dean, Professor Severus Snape, orders you to reveal the hidden information!" Severus changed his words again, and tapped the map with his wand.

This time it worked, as if an invisible hand were writing on the parchment, writing appeared on the smooth surface of the parchment: Mr. Moonface greeted Professor Snape and begged him not to make his big The abnormal nose sticks out to others to meddle in other people's business.

Severus froze, and Qiubai saw his clenched fist.She pursed her lips, and suddenly felt that the above words were a bit too much, the moon face is Remus, so the gentle Remus would be so malicious?

Severus obviously knew this too, he didn't want to read the words that were still popping up on the parchment, or rather, Qiubai didn't want to see it.He went to the fireplace and sprinkled a handful of Floo powder in it, stuck his head in and cried, "Lupin! I want to say something!"

A few seconds later, Remus crawled out of the fire, brushed off the ashes from his tattered robes, and asked softly, "Did you call me, Severus?"

Severus pointed to the parchment.Remus looked at the words on the parchment, and a strange expression appeared on his face.Severus looked at him with raised eyebrows, "Maybe it's a piece of parchment with black magic on it? Professor Lupine?"

Remus glanced at Harry, then said softly, "Dark magic? Severus, it looks to me like a piece of parchment that insults anyone who tries to read it. Childish, But surely there's no danger? I think Harry got it from a joke shop..."

"Really?" Severus pursed his lips, "You thought the shop could provide him with this kind of thing? Don't you think he got it directly from the maker?"

Remus knew what Severus was trying to say, but he preferred to play dumb: "You mean, Mr. Wormtail or one of these people? Harry, do you know any of these people?" "

"I don't know," Harry said.

"Look, Severus," Remus said, "I see it as a Zonko product..."

Ron broke into the office just at that moment.He was completely out of breath and was standing right next to Severus' desk, clutching his chest and trying to speak. "I gave that to Harry," he said breathlessly, "bought it in Zuko a long time ago..."

"Okay." Remus clapped his hands together and said happily, "That's the point, Severus, I'll take this back, okay?" He folded up the map and put it in his robe, Not listening to Severus' answer, "Harry, Ron, come with me, I have something to say about the vampire paper I assigned. We're leaving, sorry, Severus."

They left the office quickly.Qiubai took Severus' trembling hand in anger, lifted the Disillusionment Charm, and hugged Severus tightly with the other hand.

"Does he take me for a fool?" Severus said through gritted teeth.

"That was obviously done by James and the four of them together." Qiubai said, "Given your previous tit-for-tat confrontation, shouldn't this be expected?"

"Oh, some cleverness," Severus said dismissively.

"It's not as good as you, my Potion Master." Qiubai knew that she couldn't praise James and the others for their cleverness at this time, although she felt so in her heart.It was the most important thing for Severus not to be so angry and sad right now.

Severus was soothed, and the corners of his lips curled up.Qiubai was stabbed by this little figure, she cupped Severus' cheek and gave him a domineering kiss.

"I was going to give him that bottle of wolfsbane this month." Severus smiled maliciously, "Then it's better to postpone this until the end of the semester."

Oh, poor Remus, Qiubai was a little less sympathetic this time.

What that strange parchment was, neither Severus nor Qiubai finally found out.But Severus obviously didn't want to know anymore.He was more focused on the last game of Quidditch, he didn't like Quidditch, but he liked the Quidditch cup in his office, which was a strange insistence.

Not just Severus, Professor McGonagall obviously thought so too.The atmosphere here at the dean's place is impatient, not to mention the young children. The sexiness between them makes the whole of Hogwarts "lively", and several small fights eventually developed into Evil □ □ items.

Because of this, unless it was very late, Severus's office was always filled with students who had been locked up.Qiubai could only shrink back in his office, thinking about what Severus was doing while grading homework.

This situation did not end until Gryffindor finally won the Quidditch Cup.But Qiubai also needed to spend more effort to appease the unhappy Severus.Fortunately, the time has finally entered June, and Severus needs to end the course as soon as possible, and arrange the invigilation with Professor McGonagall and others. He is so busy that he has no energy to care about other things

It wasn't easy for Qiubai, from the first grade to the fourth grade, and there was a sixth grade, Qiubai had to invigilate the exam with Hagrid every day to prevent any problems.Students in the fifth and seventh grades had to take the OWLs exam and the NEWT exam, which were invigilated by people from the Ministry of Magic. During this period, Qiubai had some breathing room.

After finally finishing the proctor exam of the last grade, Qiubai rubbed his stiff shoulders, and sneaked into Severus' office again.He was brewing a potion with a familiar smell, "Didn't you mean to give Remus the final version of Wolfsbane potion at the end of the semester?"

"It's an improved idea of ​​mine, and I'll see if it works." Severus said, "There happens to be a test subject." The corners of his lips curled up.

After the large pot of wolfbane potion was cooked, it was already night.Qiubai didn't eat dinner, her stomach was growling with hunger, she lay down on the sofa holding a book and yawned several times.

Severus put the hot potion into a goblet and said to Qiubai, "Go find something to eat when you're hungry. I'll take this to Lupin first."

"Okay, I'll go to the kitchen and get something to eat." Qiubai got up from the sofa, "I'll wait for you to come back." After she jumped up and kissed Severus, she was blown out of the cellar like the wind.

Also on the basement level, where the Hufflepuff dormitories and kitchens were located was noticeably warmer than the Slytherin side.The stone corridor was wide and bright, with pictures of food everywhere. Qiubai walked towards one of the doors, and on the door was a huge silver bowl full of fruits.

Qiu Bai stretched out his index finger and gently scratched the big green pear. The pear giggled as if it was being tickled, wriggled uneasily, and finally turned into a big green doorknob.Qiubai opened the door and entered, and what he saw was a large room with a high ceiling, as large as the auditorium on the first floor. There were many gleaming copper pots and basins piled up beside the surrounding stone walls, and there was a brick wall at the other end of the room. Big fireplace.

There are also tables inside, in the same position as in the auditorium.There were at least a hundred elves standing in the kitchen, laughing and bowing and curtseying as Qiubai passed them.They all wore the same uniform: a tea towel with the Hogwarts crest on it.

"May I ask Miss Shire what food do you need?" one of the elves asked in a shrill voice.

"Do you have a sandwich? Sir." Qiubai said slowly.

"Yes, of course." The elf began to burst into tears. "Miss Shire is always so kind."

Before the elves' tears drowned her, Qiubai quickly left the kitchen with the food.With lingering fears, Qiubai couldn't help thinking of Shandan and Xingxing. They were really the most restrained house-elves she had ever seen.

Back in the cellar office, Severus hadn't returned yet, and Qiubai waited idly for a few minutes, and finally she was so hungry that she reached out to the plate of sandwiches.

While she was eating and waiting for Severus, a silver light jumped directly in front of Qiubai through the office door, it was Severus' patron saint - a silver big horned deer, it opened its mouth Opening his mouth, Qiubai heard Severus' slightly anxious voice: "The Whomping Willow, come quickly."

Qiubai quickly swallowed the food in his mouth, grabbed the cup on the table and took a sip of water, then hurried to the Whomping Willow.After recovering the strength and speed of nearly a year, Qiubai reached the bottom of the Whomping Willow in just over 2 minutes.

Under the full moon rising in the sky, the Whomping Willow froze in mid-air, just as she had seen it before.Qiubai didn't think any more, and got into the black hole under the Whomping Willow. The long and winding passage slowed down Qiubai's speed. When she entered the screaming shack, she could already hear the noisy voices upstairs. .

"Except your weapons!"

As soon as Qiubai opened the door, a few red lights flashed in front of Qiubai's eyes and attacked the familiar black figure. She flew quickly to block in front of Severus, drawing a formation with both hands, only heard a "bang", red The light hit her hand and disappeared in an instant.

"Lottie..." Severus' shocked words came from the back of his head. In front of him was a group of people with their mouths open, Ron lying on the bed and clutching his leg, Harry with red eyes and a complicated expression, staring wide-eyed. Hermione whose eyes seemed to be beyond her understanding, Remus who was tied up with a black belt and fell to the ground, and... There was also a homeless man with a bad description who slipped in from nowhere.

His dirty, tangled hair fell to his elbows, and his waxy skin clinged to the skeleton of his face, giving him the appearance of a skull.But his gray eyes were blazing with disbelief, and Qiubai looked carefully for a moment before he realized that it was Sirius Black.

"Sirius?" Qiubai couldn't match up the man in front of him with the handsome and unruly Sirius in his impression, "This...what's the situation?"

It was as if the gears were turning again, and the people in front of them all started to move.Ron was struggling to catch a mouse, and the mouse kept kicking and screaming to break free.It eventually scratched the back of Ron's hand and jumped to the ground.

"Grab it! Grab it!" Sirius yelled frantically.

Harry and Hermione moved, trying to jump at the mouse.Qiubai raised his eyebrows, and a golden light floated from his fingertips, enveloping the mouse in a sparkling transparent ball.This was what she had learned from Voldemort, that the damned Shrieking Shack was really the last place Qiubai wanted to be.

Qiubai glanced back at Severus, he was unharmed but his face was extremely grim, his pale lips were tightly pressed.Qiu Bai turned around and continued to look at the person in front of him, saying, "What's going on?"

Remus let out a "woo-woo-woo" sound.With a hook of Qiubai's fingers, the black belt on Remus' body fell to the ground, and he stood up, "Everyone is here, it's time to reveal the truth," he said.

"What truth?" Qiu Bai asked.

"Get James and Lily out," Remus said.

"James?" Sirius yelled in disbelief.

"Oh, what an uncomfortable occasion." Severus' voice could not have been lowered.

"Ha." Qiubai sneered, "I want to see what the truth is." She approached Harry, his trembling lips made him look like he was about to cry, she said, "I What about the bracelet I gave you earlier?"

Harry raised his left hand, revealing the bracelet under his sleeve.Qiubai sighed, and first patted Harry's head comfortingly, "I'm sorry for letting you know so much at this time." Under Harry's puzzled eyes, Qiubai patted Harry twice clockwise. Lee bracelet.

As soon as she came out, Lily yelled angrily: "Charles! How long have you been letting us out!"

"Yes, we have all learned Chinese." James said unhappy.

Soon, they discovered the unusual situation in front of them.Lily saw Harry first, and she floated towards Harry, "Ha...Harry? This is Harry!"

"Mom... Mom." Harry was still in shock.

"You are so big, woo woo." The ghost didn't have tears, so Lily looked like howling, but no one would tease this at this time, Lily opened her arms and hugged Harry, the whole The soul began to blur.

"Lily! Calm down!" Qiubai shouted.

"That's right, Lily, you're on your way," James said.

"Okay, everyone is here." Remus said, touching the strangle marks on his hand.

"Who's here?" James asked, and then he finally spotted Sirius in the corner, and he looked closely over and over again, "Padfoot? Are you Padfoot? How did you become like this?

"Prongs..." Sirius' eyes burst into tears, leaving dark trails of tears on his dirty face.

Remus picked up his wand and cast an anti-Animagus spell on the struggling rat floating in the air.The blue-white light penetrated the golden transparent cover of Qiubai and sank into the small black body of the mouse.

"Oh, Scabbers!" Ron wailed.

The mouse's body twisted crazily, and after a while, like a tree growing, the head grew out, followed by the limbs, and finally a short man struggling in the air appeared in front of everyone.A ginger cat emerged from under the bed, jumped onto the bed and squealed menacingly.

The man's thin, light-colored hair was disheveled, with a large patch of baldness on the crown.His appearance is like that of an obese person who has lost a lot of weight in a short time.His skin appeared dirty, almost like a patchwork of fur, and his pointed nose and small, watery eyes had something of a mouse in it.He looked at everyone, his breathing was short and weak.

What happened in front of her eyes made Qiu Bai narrow her eyes. Although the man in the golden light cage had changed a lot, she still recognized him. "Peter... huh... what a surprise!" She reached into the cage and grabbed his neck, "I thought... you were dead?"

"No, he's not dead!" Sirius yelled angrily, "Turned into a mouse! He enjoys the pet treatment, doesn't he? He also went to Egypt to play, are you happy?"

He took out a crumpled piece of paper from his arms and threw it on the ground, rolling to Hermione's feet. She picked it up and unfolded it. It was a photo of the Ron family, which was published in the Daily Prophet last summer. , Ron's shoulder is Scabbers.

"No, no, Re... Remus." Peter was almost out of breath being pinched by Qiubai.

"I really want to pinch it, but it doesn't seem to work now." Qiu Bai let go of her hand, she murmured.Peter held his throat and coughed non-stop. Qiubai turned around and said to Sirius, "Let's talk about it now, Sirius. You need to explain what happened 12 years ago."

"It's me, it's my fault. I shouldn't have changed the Secret Keeper to Peter at the last minute. I went to see Peter the night you died to make sure he was safe, but when I got to his hiding place, he Already gone. There was no sign of a struggle there and I felt something was wrong. I got scared and I went straight to Potter Manor but the house was destroyed and I saw your dead bodies and I knew Peter must have done something bad I know how big a mistake I made." Sirius couldn't continue, covering his face with his hands.

"It's not your fault, Padfoot!" James exclaimed. "None of us thought Wormtail would betray us."

"And what about that street?" Lily asked.

"I went and found Wormtail, and I drove him so far away that he could be heard all over the street, that I had betrayed James and Lily. Then, before I could curse him, he Just blew up the whole street with the wand hidden in his back, killing everyone within twenty feet of him, then cut off a finger of his own, turned into a mouse and fled to the gutter with the other rats! "

"So simple... so clever..." Remus whispered.

"So... the so-called wreckage is his fingers." Qiubai hugged his arms.

"No, no, he's lying!" screamed Peter, still floating in mid-air, twitching his limbs and darting his eyes around in terror.

"I used to think how could someone like you become friends with James and the others." Qiubai said with a sneer.

"You! Who are you!" said Peter, terrified, still afraid that Chomber would suddenly come and strangle him.

"Look into my eyes, Peter." Qiubai leaned closer, "I think you praised my scented tea well?"

"Charlotte, Charlotte!" Peter screamed, "How is that possible! You're dead! You're dead!"

Qiubai scratched his ears in displeasure, "Of course you want me to die. There are Lily and James, right? Then no one can expose you. I used to think you were timid and inferior? I was careless , Why, Lily is not good enough for you? Or did Voldemort treat you more?"

"He always liked friends who were stronger than him, so that they could take care of him. Didn't he? Wormtail," Sirius sneered.

"Can I...can I ask a question?" Hermione asked timidly.

"Say it," Remus said softly.

"Well, Scabbers, I mean, this, this man, he slept in Harry's dormitory for three years. If he worked for You-Know-Who, how come he never tried to hurt Harry before? said Hermione.

"Because it's not good for him." Qiu Bai replied.

"Voldemort has been in hiding for 12 years. It is said that he is half dead. Peter is not going to kill a wizard who has lost all his powers and is in poor health right under Dumbledore's nose, is he? Peter? ' Sirius said angrily.

"No, no." Peter was still in denial.

Sirius struggled to stand up, and continued: "Before you return to his subordinates, you must be sure that he is still the most powerful figure in the wizarding world, right? Otherwise, why did you find a magician?" Families? That way you'll be kept up to date, won't you, Peter? You want to know that if your old protector gets his strength back, you'll be safe going back to him..."

Peter opened his mouth and closed it several times, as if he had lost the ability to speak.

"Then how did you escape from Azkaban?" Severus asked after not speaking for a long time.

"This has nothing to do with you!" Sirius yelled. "I know you'd love to have my soul sucked by a dementor, wouldn't you?"

Severus let out a "ha", and the corners of his mouth curled up maliciously, "Your stupid brain is clear for once."

"I don't think this is the time for infighting?" Qiubai raised his eyebrows, "I don't care how you escaped, Sirius. But you are indeed stupid enough to banish yourself to Azkaban because of self-blame, and put Harry left there alone, this is your fault as a godfather! You ran out more than ten years later, and you panicked. You didn’t want to ask for help when Remus was here, and the troubles ended up like this. "

Severus sneered, Sirius was speechless, and he looked at Harry whose eyes were full of tears.

"Charles..." Lily floated to Qiubai's side, she had never seen Qiubai so angry.

"It's over, Lottie. Give them to Dumbledore." Severus said to Qiubai, he didn't want to stay in this place for a moment, it made him feel uncomfortable except Qiubai and Lily.Especially after these good students cast a spell on themselves just now.

"That's how it is." Qiubai turned around, "Let's go find Dumbledore."

"No, no!" Peter kept begging for mercy, and he looked at Ron, "Ron, haven't I always been your good friend, am I a good pet? Help me, you help me."

Ron stared at Peter Pettigrew in extreme disgust, "He used to sleep on my bed! It really makes me sick!"

Qiubai beckoned, and the golden ball in the air floated out of the door with her, and Severus gave them a cold look and followed him out.Remus walked up to Ron and said, "Ron, I'm not as good at setting bones as Madam Pomfrey, so I thought the best way would be for us to strap your legs up and send you to to the school hospital."

He bent down, touched Ron's leg lightly with his wand, muttered a spell, and the bandage jumped on Ron, wrapping the leg tightly and fastening it to the thin wooden bar.They all followed out of the Shrieking Shack one by one.

Qiubai deliberately slowed down, the golden cage could not resist the damage, and Peter's bald head was constantly hitting the low top of the tunnel.Is that the sound of screams? There are countless echoes in this narrow and winding tunnel.This made Qiubai feel a little better.

Finally crawled out from under the Whomping Willow, the turmeric cat in front of Qiubai shot out like a cannonball first, what Qiubai saw was the scene where it put its paw on the Whomping Willow scar, "Thank you."

【you are welcome! 】

Qiubai twisted his back, turned to Severus who was following closely behind, and said, "Are you all right, Sev."

Severus nodded.

Under the silvery moonlight, the cage containing Peter shone brighter.Peter had already fainted from the collision, and his limbs were hanging limp in mid-air.Qiubai looked at the entrance of the cave, waiting for the other people, but she was always a little apprehensive, as if she had forgotten something.
