Hogwarts Homecoming

"When did this happen, Filch?"

For some reason, Lupine's face darkened, and he stared into Filch's eyes.

"Two weeks ago—"

Lupine's heart sank. This time was after Amostar searched the secret passage under the Whomping Willow.

Filch wrung his hands together. Seeing his uneasy appearance, he should be afraid of being targeted for failing to complete the task assigned by Mr. Blaine. He babbled on and on about how hard he was looking for this parchment, but Nothing was found. He claimed that he had been strictly guarding the prohibited items collected from the students and could not find them. Some troublemaker might have slipped into his office.

"It must be Peeves!"

Filch said indignantly,

"Can you tell Mr. Blaine, Professor Lupine, he must have a trick to drive that crazy ghost out of Hogwarts."

Harry and Ron lowered their heads unconsciously, feeling sympathy for Peeves who somehow took the blame for Fred and George. Seeing the guilty look on both of them, Hermione snorted with dissatisfaction on her face , she looked at Professor Lupine hesitantly, as if she wanted to tell the truth, but after a series of intense and complicated inner struggles, she still didn't say anything.

Surprisingly, Professor Lupine didn't answer Filch's voice, and kept a suffocating silence. This silence was so long that Harry called his name softly several times before he could speak. Come to yourself.

"Oh, I'm fine, Harry—"

Lupine turned his head and smiled apologetically at Harry, the smile was very ugly, and when he turned his head, he glanced at Lenny squatting on the desk looking a little anxious.

"I'll convey it to Professor Blaine—"

Lupine nodded at Filch, he took a breath, and asked suddenly, "Albus has left again, right?"

After receiving an affirmative answer, Lupine clenched his fists in his sleeves. He turned around, looked at the three of Harry, and said in a rare tone that could not be refused,

"I thought about it carefully, and the origin of this broom is indeed very suspicious. Harry, since Professor Bryan is not at Hogwarts, I suggest you show it to Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick, and they are too. Experienced wizards, if there is something wrong with the broom, I think they can see something-"

Professor Lupine's words caused the three of Harry to look confused, but before they could figure it out, Professor Lupine pushed them from behind to Filch with a sullen face and almost rough movements.

"Please escort these three children to the auditorium, Filch, hurry up—"

Regarding Lupine's reaction, even Hermione was full of confusion, but Professor Lupine didn't give them time to ask questions. He urged them repeatedly and watched them go down the stairs in the middle of the corridor before looking away.

call--

Remus took a deep breath, turned around and went back inside, closing the office door with a snap.

Although he knew that Amostar had already arranged a complete defensive spell for his office, Remus still took out his wand and cast all the forbidden spells he had mastered on the rusty doorknob, These spells can only be dispelled under one condition, and that is when he dies.

Remus kept facing the door with his head down, no one could see his expression clearly.

Lenny on the desk saw Remus' movements clearly. He turned his head and looked at the window, then at the fireplace. Finally, his gray eyes focused on Remus at the door, and sighed slightly. tone.

The fireplace is crackling and burning, and from time to time, the remaining moisture in the dry wood is rapidly turned into expanding steam by the scorching heat, and the violently fired firewood sprays sparks of sparks to the world outside the mouth of the furnace. Embracing the world with passion, but lost the light and heat within a short distance, leaving only the ashes of the lost soul floating in this office——

A deep blue light leaped across the distance of the entire office, and Lenny, wrapped in the blue light, slowly floated in mid-air, followed by a flash of blinding flashes, like a fast shot of a tree growing, a slightly A fleshy skinny head grew out, followed by a body and limbs, and a moment later, a man in an old wizard's robe, with hair matted like tangled seaweed, appeared in the office.

The gazes of Remus and Xiaotian Lanxing met in mid-air, they looked at each other, one was a criminal who ran to avoid being wanted, and the other was a werewolf who had gone through many vicissitudes and finally found a temporary shelter.

Twelve years later, the best friends who were once high-spirited have become rotten dead wood.

There was no pleasantries, no angry reprimands, and after a long time, Remus, whose face was livid, slowly raised his wand and pointed it at Sirius, and just said plainly,

"Amostar's clothes don't fit you well, Sirius—"

At this moment, all the anxiety, annoyance, and resentment disappeared from Sirius' heart, and the only thing that remained was exhaustion.

"Yes—this is Brian's old robe, and he's a little taller than me."

Sirius nodded, he pursed his lower lip, and showed what could be considered a wry smile, "You are still so careful, Remus, you discovered my identity with just a small loophole."

The wand that Remus held in his hand trembled slightly, and the blood pumped to his brain by his heart still made him feel a little faint, but he tried his best to keep himself awake by adjusting his breathing.

This is not easy, especially for him who is in the weakening period of transformation.

"It's not as good as it used to be--" Remus' gaze was gradually becoming hard, "Otherwise I should have realized something was wrong. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to realize that yes, Mr. Filch has done me a big favor, Who else knows where the Marauder's Map ended up. I mean, the ones still alive."

Sirius' body also swayed a bit, but this was immediately interpreted by the highly concentrated Remus as wanting to resist, his attitude suddenly became tough, the wand in his hand stretched forward, and he sternly stopped road,

"Stay still, Sirius, put your hands up, where I can see them!"

There was no other choice, for Sirius.

"Don't get excited, Remus—"

Sirius didn't raise his hand, he had a dispirited expression,

"If you're still willing to hear me say a few words, Remus, I can explain it to you, although it doesn't meet my original intention."

"I do want to hear your explanation, Sirius—"

Remus approached Black step by step. He stood in the middle of the office, pointed his wand at the eyes of his former best friend and said,

"In my opinion, let's start with what happened recently—by the way, let's talk about how you persuaded Amosta Bryan to cover for you. Oh, let me think about it , Yeah, I almost forgot, you came from a noble pure-blood family, the Black family is very rich, and Jin Viper. Huh, I must admit that I misread it again, he is indeed a scum who can give up his principles for money! "

Who is that Golden Viper?

Sirius felt a little confused in his heart, but at this moment, the confusion was obviously insignificant,

"Amosta Bryan is a bit more noble than you think, actually, Remus—"

Sirius said sullenly, "I did try to use Gallon to let him let me go, but he refused!"

"It surprises me—" Remus smiled meanly, a smile that was not often seen on his face, "Then what did you use to bribe him in the end?"

"yes--"

Sirius was about to answer subconsciously, but he immediately realized that Remus had misunderstood, so he said angrily,

"It's not what you think, Remus, don't get excited, Moonface, either quietly listen to my explanation, or write a letter to Bryan and ask him to come back. He knows everything, and he can prove it to me!"

"Don't say that name, Blake, you don't deserve it!"

Remus suddenly roared, he stepped in front of Sirius in two steps, grabbed him by the collar and pressed his wand against Sirius' forehead fiercely,

"You want to get Bryan back!

Um? for what?

Ah, by the way, you know how powerful he is, you know I'm no match for him, and you want him to kill me, don't you, Blake! "
