The Alchemist of Harry Potter

Chapter 754 Speculation and Possibilities

"Sirius Black broke into Gryffindor Tower with a knife and tried to kill Harry Potter?"

Albert stretched out his hand to cover a yawn, listened to Fred, George and Lee Jordan describe what happened in the middle of the night, tilted his head and looked at the intact portrait channel and asked: "How did Blake, without a password, Breaking into the Gryffindor common room?"

"Longbottom wrote the password on a note, but after losing it, the note was picked up by Black." Lee Jordan took out a handful of toad mints from the pocket of his robe and distributed them to everyone. Into his mouth, he said vaguely: "You were not there at the time, and you didn't see Professor McGonagall's angry appearance, so your voice was trembling with anger."

"Some time ago, Longbottom seemed to say that the note with the password was lost." Albert stretched out his hand to caress Tom, who was resting on the table, looked up at the crowded common room and asked, "Speaking of which, you should have stayed up all night. Alright, what are you doing here if you don’t go back to make up for sleep, and wait to hear if you have caught Black?"

"Yeah, everyone is waiting for the news here. Do you think Blake can slip away again?" Fred brought a cup of hot milk tea with thick milk, and held a small dish of custard left over from last night. biscuit.

"The chances of catching Black are slim." Albert said without hesitation. "If the professors can really catch Black, I think you will be able to hear the news as soon as possible."

"Actually, I'm even more curious about why Black didn't kill Ron to silence him and continue looking for Harry?" George asked his doubts.

"Do you really want your brother to be killed by Black?" Lee Jordan couldn't help rolling his eyes.

"As early as 12 years ago, Black liked to kill innocent people indiscriminately." George clearly pointed out this point, "Facing five sleeping boys, it is entirely possible for Black to kill everyone. A person who is blinded by hatred, seeing If he is about to succeed in revenge, I don't think he will easily give up such a good opportunity."

"Perhaps, Blake is worried that he will be trapped in the castle. Once everyone wakes up, it will be very difficult for him to leave the castle." Angelina also participated in this discussion.

"I don't think Black is afraid of death. If he was really afraid of death, he wouldn't have ventured into Hogwarts Castle to assassinate Harry. Tonight's incident is full of weirdness." Shanna agreed with George's words, and she didn't agree. Think a hateful man would be afraid of death, "Don't forget, your brother said that Blake had a knife, which means that Blake has no wand, and a wizard without a wand can't exert real power at all, which is almost It was Black's only chance for revenge, and he passed it up."

"As long as he kills the people in the room, Black can completely grab the wand. I believe that a criminal who can escape from Azkaban Prison must also have a way to escape from Hogwarts Castle before the professors react."

"He has to kill everyone in the courtyard, and he may even meet the teacher..." Angelina also felt that her reasons were becoming more and more untenable.

"If I were Sirius Black, I would blow up the window and jump out of the window to escape." Albert pointed to the window next to him and said, "Trying to go out from the portrait passage is really stupid. If Black is so stupid, I think He's already been captured by dementors."

"But at least there are..."

Aliya suddenly stopped talking, and she also realized that to a wizard, the height of a seven or eight-story building is obviously nothing, and Harry fell from a high altitude last time and was also safe.

The worst case is death. Would a desperado like Black really be afraid of death?
Obviously not afraid.

"There are indeed a lot of suspicious things about this matter, and it's thanks to Ron that nothing happened." Fred said, looking at Ron who was describing the whole thing last night to others.

"There are many ways to solve doubts. Now I ask, you answer, and tell all the reasons you can think of, no matter how absurd." Albert waved his wand, and conjured a notebook and a book out of thin air. root pen.

"first question:
Why do you think Black didn't kill Ron, and even other people in the dormitory, instead of revenge on Harry? "

The pen automatically writes the passage in the notebook.

"Don't want to kill innocent people indiscriminately?" Angelina said first, "Or, are you worried that you will be trapped in the castle after other students wake up?"

"What about you?" Albert asked the others.

The others frowned and thought about it, but still couldn't figure out the reason. This matter was really suspicious.

"Perhaps, Black is actually a good person. He actually came to give Potter a gift, but he couldn't find Harry's bed." When Fred said this, he laughed at himself.

"Could it be that his mind is confused, and his first instinctive reaction is to run away, just like the first reaction of most people when encountering danger is to turn around and run away." Lee Jordan thinks his reason is the most likely, " After all, Blake has been hunted by dementors and Aurors, so it's not surprising that he would have such a reaction."

Albert recorded all these with a pen, and continued, "If I were Black, I would never give up such a good opportunity."

"Maybe Black didn't actually come to kill Harry, or his target wasn't Harry?" George tried to dig out more possibilities.

"Blake broke into Harry's dormitory, apparently for some purpose. If his target wasn't Harry, then what? Obviously it couldn't be Ron, otherwise he would have had his throat slit."

"Don't forget, Dad once said that Black said in his sleep: He's at Hogwarts. Who do you think he's referring to. Harry? No, that's just our speculation." George went on, "The only What is certain is that the target Black wants to kill is in that dormitory."

"How do you think Black got the password?" Albert said again: "To be honest, I don't quite believe that Longbottom threw the password around and it happened to be obtained by Black. This seems too coincidental. Not so many coincidences."

Fred, George and Lee Jordan looked at each other, seeming to think of something: "You mean Black has a helper at school?"

Everyone looks a little uneasy, and this guess is very close to the truth.

"That person tampered with Longbottom's memory?"

"Probably."

"Longbottom is very forgetful, so it's not easy to see his flaws."

"Do you think it is possible for Black to pretend to be a certain professor in the school?" Shanna said, "As far as I know, there is a potion called compound potion that can make a person look like another person."

"Who do you think is more suspicious?"

"Professor Lupine." Shanna said without hesitation, "Although he is a well-known professor, every year the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor will always make something happen, and he is a newcomer."

"Composite medicine can do it, but it takes a lot of time to brew it." Albert recorded this and continued to ask: "Does anyone else have any other ideas?"

"Become a small animal, like someone's pet?"

"If Black could turn into a cat, he wouldn't need to use a password, of course, it could be a disguise."

"Does anyone have a new pet?" Angelina asked.

"Hermione's cat," said George, "and he's after Ron's mouse."

"So, Black disguised himself as Hermione's cat to hunt down Ron's mouse?" Shanna felt very absurd when she said this.

"How did Black enter the castle?" Albert asked again.

"Secret way!" Fred, George and Lee Jordan said in unison.

After several other people looked over, they lowered their voices and said, "It must be through a secret passage, I don't think he will break into the castle ostentatiously."

"Use a broomstick," Angelina said.

"Or turn into a bird and fly into the castle," Shannah surmised.

"Or use some weird magic, after all, no one knows if he learned any tricks from the mysterious man?" Aliya reminded.

"Lastly, how did he get away with dementors?"

"The Disillusionment Curse?" Fred shook his head after finishing speaking, because Dumbledore said at the beginning that invisibility magic has no effect on dementors.

"The dementors kept him out on purpose?"

"Is he pretending to be someone, or some kind of creature?"

Everyone was silent, they remembered Shanna's speculation just now, Black disguised as someone hiding in Hogwarts?

"But how did he escape from Azkaban prison?"

"Actually, to judge whether a professor is suspicious, you only need to see if they often take a bottle to drink. The compound medicine usually only lasts for an hour, so he must drink the compound medicine frequently to avoid exposing himself."

"No." "No." "No."

"In my impression, no professor has ever done this."

Everyone searched their memories and shook their heads. This kind of thing is actually impossible to hide, at least it is impossible to completely fill it up.

"Then it is unlikely that he pretended to be a professor. He should have a helper."

"Okay, let me sum it up." Albert quickly glanced at the notes and said, "What is certain is: Black really wanted to kill someone, and that person was in Hogwarts, Harry's dormitory, for This time Black escaped from Azkaban Prison. He knows some secret passages in the castle that even Filch knows, and he can easily enter and exit the castle without being noticed by others. Black has a helper at Hogwarts School who can help him Got the password to the Gryffindor common room, and Black was able to hide himself from the dementors through some kind of disguise."

"I think we're pretty close to the truth, and just narrowing it down and finding out who Black wanted to kill or his aides would reveal the truth."

"I really can't think of anyone other than Harry that Black wants to kill."

"But Black refused to kill anyone else." Shanna reminded, "If Black is a good person, who would he want to kill?"

"How could Black be a good man?" Aliya thought it was ridiculous, "If he was a good man, how could he be imprisoned in Azkaban Prison for more than ten years? If he was innocent, the first thing he would do when he escaped would be It's about proving your innocence, clearing up your grievances, not coming to Hogwarts to kill people."
