Master Druid at Hogwarts

Chapter 378 Doubt and Conflict
Leaving Neville unlucky aside, Sirius Black who sneaked out of the castle really felt that he was very unlucky.

worst case scenario!
He tried his best to come to Hogwarts, and was almost beaten to death by a three-headed dog. Finally, he slipped into the Gryffindor dormitory, but Peter Pettigrew had already escaped?
So hasn't he been wasting his time all this time? !
But after leaving Hogwarts, where should he find Peter Pettigrew?
Sirius has not forgotten that he is still wanted by the Ministry of Magic. If he dares to show up to inquire about Peter's whereabouts, he will only be sent back to Azkaban...

Or just get your soul sucked by a dementor.

Sure enough, I still want to contact Lupine...

Sirius was still hesitating in his heart.

Contacting Lupine itself is not difficult, just go to the Shrieking Shack and wait during the full moon through the secret passage under the Whomping Willow, or leave a message inside or something.

And although Lupine is a werewolf, he has always been the calmest and most tolerant of the robbers.Sirius believed that if he really found him, the other party would definitely give him a chance to explain.

Although he didn't want to involve his old friend again, Sirius Black had no better choice now.

It was a little regretful that the full moon had not passed for a long time, and if he wanted to contact Lupine, he would have to wait until next month.But now that things are in this situation, Sirius doesn't care about waiting for a while.

After making up his mind, Sirius thought for a while, and ran directly in the direction of the Whomping Willow. Of course, he didn't intend to wait for Lupine's arrival in the Screaming Shack. Lupine left a message, by the way, to give him a time to calm down and think.

Just as Sirius slipped into the Shrieking Shack, Hogwarts started a big search again, and Fish, like the last time, joined the search team.

However, the result was the same as last time, and no one found anything.

"Damn meow!" The kitten who found nothing angrily waved its fists and said solemnly, "If Fish hadn't gone to the Forbidden Forest tonight, Black wouldn't have had a chance to escape meow!"

(`ω)
"Hehehe," Dumbledore stroked his beard and smiled, coaxing the kitten and said, "Maybe Black dared to break into Gryffindor's dormitory because you were not there."

He does not mean that.

Fish was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly said: "That's right! How did he know that I'm not in the dormitory? Fish rarely goes to the Forbidden Forest recently!"

Σ(ΦДΦ)
Because of the freezing weather and the absence of Black, Fish has greatly reduced the frequency of going to play in the Forbidden Forest recently, and after Black picked up Neville's note, he immediately knew that he was not in the dormitory. What a coincidence.

Fish quickly expressed his doubts.

Almost all the professors showed strange expressions, and several professors subconsciously looked at Professor Lupine. Although they quickly looked away, they couldn't hide it from Fisher.

And Snape even showed such an expression: "I said it a long time ago!"

He growled lowly at Dumbledore, but looked away at Lupine.

"I told you a long time ago...the school has Blake's internal support!"

Snape stared at the pale Lupine, gritted his molars, and said every word.

"Severus," Dumbledore frowned, "I trust Remus."

"Yeah, you still believed in Black before, didn't you?" Snape sneered, he didn't intend to compromise this time.

The surrounding professors all let out an exclamation, as if they were dissatisfied with Snape's disrespectful headmaster's behavior, and Professor Lupine's face turned even paler.

There was no expression on Dumbledore's face, he just looked silently at Snape with his blue eyes through his half-moon spectacles, and Snape looked at him fearlessly.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense, and even Fish, the little fur cat, sensed something was wrong, grabbed Professor McGonagall's arm vigorously, and looked nervously at Dumbledore and Snape.

|ˇˇ)
"We can use Veritaserum." After being silent for a long time, Snape finally backed down a step. He lowered his eyes slightly and said, "I have a stock of it. I only need three drops. Know if Lupine is Black's accomplice or not."

"Veritaserum isn't completely effective either, Occlumency can make it ineffective, I think you understand that very well, Severus."

Dumbledore rejected Snape's offer.

"Of course, but I can try to disable his Occlumency, Mr. Dumbledore."

Snape still refused to give up. As a Potions Master and Occlumency Master, he had indeed done some research in this area...

As for the excessive means of this method and the fact that it has not been actually operated, Snape deliberately ignored it.

"I won't agree with you, Severus." Dumbledore showed a hint of anger, and with his level of knowledge, he can probably guess what Snape used, "We can't just because of nothing Treat your companions the same way you treat criminals!"

"Companion?" Snape laughed, "A werewolf?"

"Enough! Severus!"

Professor McGonagall finally couldn't help it, and stepped forward to stop Snape from being rude to Dumbledore.

"Professor Lupine doesn't know that Fish is not in the dormitory tonight!"

"Uh...Actually, I know..." Lupine said awkwardly, "When Fish was going out, I happened to bump into him."

However, he still defended himself: "But after that, I went back to my office, and I didn't have a chance to send news to Black. The portrait in the corridor can testify to me... Ah, yes, there is also Peeves , I ran into him on my way back, and he was putting glue on the doorknob of Mr. Filch's office."

"Heh, who knows if there is any special connection between you and Black." Snape sneered disdainfully.

"I think Professor Lupine is unlikely to be Black's internal support." Professor Flitwick also stood on Dumbledore's side. He did not favor Lupine, but said based on his own analysis: "As a professor, Lupine Ping, there are too many opportunities to do something to Potter, but he didn't do anything, did he?"

The other professors were also persuaded by Lu Ping's calm performance and Professor Flitwick's analysis. They dispelled their doubts and spoke up for Lu Ping one after another.

"Hmph!" Seeing that he failed to win over any supporters, Snape snorted coldly and shook off his sleeves with an ugly face, "Just wait until Potter dies at the hands of Black, and you just don't regret it!"

After speaking, he left without looking back.

"Everyone go back to rest first..." Dumbledore pinched his eyebrows wearily, "Remus, don't take Severus' words to heart."

"Of course, Headmaster," Lupine said with a wry smile, shrugging his shoulders, "I've been used to it for a long time."

After all the professors had left, Fish carefully tugged on Professor McGonagall's sleeve.

"Minerva, what the hell is going on with Severus and Lupine meow? Why does he insist that Lupine is helping Black? Just because he's a werewolf meow?"

(ω)

"Don't ask too much about this." Professor McGonagall doesn't like talking about others behind their backs, so she hesitated for a while, and instead of telling Fish about the grievances between Snape and Lupine, she sent him back to sleep , "Hurry up and go back to the dormitory, there is still class tomorrow."

"If you don't say it, don't say it, Fish will ask Severus tomorrow!"

(〃｀3〃)

It was not the first time that the little fur cat who had been demolished by crossing the river angrily made a face at Professor McGonagall, and then ran back to the dormitory.

Professor McGonagall didn't take it seriously...

With Snape's awkward character, how could he tell Fish about this.

　In an interview, a reporter asked Rowling why she didn't use Veritaserum to exonerate Black, and her answer was "The Wizengamot thought that Sirius Black might have Occlumency, so even if he used Veritaserum to do it An interrogation is no guarantee that he will tell the truth."

　　In the Fantastic Beasts movies, Newt also uses Occlumency to fend off Veritaserum.

　　And little Barty even broke free from the Imperius Curse, and has been pretending to be Moody for so long, if you say that he doesn't understand Occlumency... Anyway, I don't believe it.

　　Of course, it can be explained if there is an explanation. For example, he was knocked out at the time, and he didn't have time to use Occlumency.

　　But I prefer to believe that this is Rowling's BUG.

　　Thank you soldiers who don't want to be generals for their rewards.
