Hogwarts Mystery Sequence

Sirius' pupils suddenly tightened and he rushed towards Amon.

But it was only a few steps away, but he didn't arrive immediately and grab the collar he wanted to grab.

"Haha..." Suddenly, Amon's chuckle echoed in Sirius' ears.

The next moment, the world in Sirius's eyes was spinning like a kaleidoscope.

A strong feeling of dizziness suddenly hit him, and Sirius subconsciously closed his eyes and staggered back two steps.

Just these two steps, Sirius felt as if he had passed through a membrane, and his senses suddenly became real again.

He quickly opened his eyes, only to find that Amon, shrouded in mist, was still standing not far in front of him, and the distance between him and Amon had not changed at all.

It seemed as if everything that had just happened was just an illusory dream, or a very real illusion.

From Amon's perspective, Sirius didn't make any movement from beginning to end. He seemed to be in a daze, just standing there blankly.

"Impulsiveness is not a good habit, especially for a wizard." Amon pinched the monocle made of crystal and chuckled.

At this time, Sirius had slowly recovered his consciousness, but he didn't care about what happened to him just now, nor did he care about Amon's "kind reminder". Instead, he immediately stared at Amon and spoke word by word. said:

"What exactly do you want to do?"

Amon's lips curled up slightly and he said:

"I just wanted to see who you would choose between Peter Pettigrew and Regulus Black."

As he spoke, his tone became rather expectant and he said with a smile:

"That sounds interesting, doesn't it?"

Sirius's already bloodshot eyes suddenly turned even scarier, looking like a wounded wolf.

He bared his teeth and grinned, and said fiercely:

"I can catch that cowardly traitor as easily as I can a sewer rat without anyone's help."

"I can definitely investigate Regulus's matter myself, it just takes some time."

"So, the choice you propose makes no sense!"

Amon nodded slightly and said:

"You can go find it, and I can hide it."

"A game of hide-and-seek sounds like a lot of fun, too?"

As he spoke, he adjusted the monocle on his right eye, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth rose more obviously.

Sirius's expression suddenly froze, because what Amon said was exactly what he was most afraid of at the moment - he had seen Amon's various methods before, so he didn't think that such a mysterious and powerful wizard would deliberately hide things can be found by him.

Amon glanced at him and chuckled:

"Also, I think I need to remind you that you are still a fugitive from Azkaban."

"With this identity and this period," Amon paused and chuckled, "I believe your actions will never be as smooth as you imagine now."

Sirius was a little confused. He didn't understand why Amont specifically mentioned "this period", and he intuitively felt that some huge changes might have happened in the outside world.

However, since he escaped from prison for more than half a day, he has not had time to contact the outside world, so he can only stay in the guessing stage.

At this moment, Sirius suddenly remembered that when he escaped from prison, the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic were acting strangely.

At that time, as soon as he came out of the cell, he discovered that the dementors that were once everywhere in the prison had completely disappeared.

According to common sense, if such a serious accident occurs in Azkaban, the support from the Ministry of Magic must be very fast and powerful.

Therefore, at that time, he subconsciously thought about escaping quickly before the support of the Auror army arrived.

But it wasn't until he was about to escape from the prison building that he saw a few Aurors from the Ministry of Magic hurriedly rushing to connect with the Aurors on duty in Azkaban. It was as if the Aurors from the Ministry of Magic were involved in some important matter. It's like being stuck.

At this moment, with Amon's words as confirmation, Sirius became more and more sure that something bad had happened in the Ministry of Magic.

This made Sirius even more anxious inside.

His eyes flashed wildly as he stared at Amon, as if he would suddenly explode in the next second.

In this regard, Amon just watched with interest, even seeming to be expecting Sirius to explode.

This leisurely and casual attitude penetrated the fog and made Sirius aware of it.

Sirius looked at the fog that shrouded Amon's body, and tightened and loosened his fists several times, just like a hungry wolf testing and warming up before he pounces on food.

However, in the end, Sirius did not choose this meaningless act of venting and humiliating himself.

He seemed to have let out a breath of air, with a self-deprecating smile on his face. The anxiety in his heart turned into a hatred of his own powerlessness. He looked somewhat similar to the embarrassment in the Azkaban cell.

Seeing Sirius's appearance, Amon said with an unchanging smile:

"Actually, there is absolutely no need for you to struggle like this."

"Life is not perfect, and many choices are unclear at the moment."

"So you should think more about what you need most urgently right now."

Hearing this, Sirius glanced at him and said sarcastically:

"I didn't expect you to be a Muggle philosopher."

At the same time, as if to deliberately anger Amon, the expression on Sirius's face looked extremely presumptuous.

But Amon reached the lower edge of the crystal monocle, nodded with a smile, and said something that surprised Sirius:

"Many Muggle ideas and theories are indeed very interesting. Although they cannot be copied to wizard society, they still have great reference value."

These words made Sirius look at Amon with obvious surprise in his eyes.

Originally, Sirius speculated that Amon was a pure-blood wizard who was born in an ancient noble family and had strong talents, based on Amon's speaking style, his previous body movements in crow form, and his natural temperament.

Sirius knew this kind of wizard best, because almost all the wizards in the Black family were like this.

Therefore, he naturally understood their nature very well - they had great contempt for Muggles, squibs, pure-blood traitors and Muggle-borns.

Therefore, Sirius was very surprised after hearing Amon's point of view.

Seeing this, Amon stroked the monocle on his right eye and chuckled nonchalantly:

"Muggles, wizards and squibs, it makes no difference to me."

Sirius was silent for a moment, feeling that Amon's posture seemed familiar.

The next second, an arrogant figure flashed through his mind.

Sirius's eyes widened for a moment, as if he felt extreme horror.

A terrible thought suddenly appeared in his heart!

As soon as this idea comes up, it grows wildly and cannot be stopped!

In an instant, Sirius's mind felt like it was exploding, and all his thoughts were occupied by all kinds of gibberish.

Those babbles all came from himself, and they were the reasons he subconsciously found for his speculations.

Every reason seems so reasonable, it can explain the mystery of Amon, and it also leads to the conclusion that Sirius least wants to see!

······No, there are still some doubts that cannot be explained... Some things that are still unclear make Sirius have to think deeply, which makes him gradually calm down.

Finally, after a few seconds, he shook his head hard and sighed happily.

"Haha, I thought you would directly ask me if I was Voldemort. That would make me completely lose confidence in your IQ, and I would not even be interested in continuing to play the game of choice with you, because I was afraid that your stupidity would be passed on to me, and that way I don't think it's interesting at all." Amon pressed the crystal monocle with his right hand and joked with a smile.

······If I ask now, is it too late?The corners of Sirius' mouth twitched slightly.

Although Amon's words inevitably made him a little frustrated, Sirius, who felt that he had a deep understanding of Amon's bad character, felt that this might be the purpose of Amon's words, so no matter what he thought in his heart, the surface must be You must remain calm, in short, you will never let Amon get his wish.

This is the best counterattack!Sirius thought to himself.

Amon held up his single eye made of crystal, looked at Sirius up and down for a few seconds, then chuckled and said:

"I think it's better for you to think about which option you want to choose as soon as possible rather than being too self-indulgent."

"After all, my patience is not unlimited."

After the previous series of changes, Sirius felt that he was calm enough.

Therefore, when faced with Amon's behavior of exposing his thoughts, he did not feel angry or embarrassed. Instead, he really thought about it for two seconds, and then asked tentatively:

"Can you describe those two options in more detail?"

Amon adjusted the position of his crystal monocle, nodded slightly and said:

"If it's too complicated for you to understand, of course."

Then, without waiting for Sirius to respond, he said to himself:

"To put it simply, it's a choice between the relics of Peter Pettigrew and Regulus Black."

"If you choose the former, you will gain innocence, but lose what your brother paid for with his life, and may even lay a foundation for the entire magical world."

"If you choose the latter, you will get Voldemort's ultimate secret, but you will never be able to prove your innocence, so you may need to find ways to make other wizards believe a Death Eater - if you hope to share that Secret words.”

What did Regulus get in exchange for his life?Voldemort's ultimate secret?Sirius was so shocked that he was speechless.

Because he really couldn't connect the impression of his weak and unassertive brother with such a brave and fearless act as sacrificing his life for Voldemort's secret.

Is this the truth that Regulus is hiding?Sirius didn't know what emotions were brewing in his heart right now.

He stood there blankly, a little at a loss.

When he slowly recovered, he found that his vision was blurred and his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of fog.

His fists were clenched at some point, and his whole body was shaking violently.

Sirius suddenly looked up at Amon, gritted his teeth and said:

"I choose the second one!"

"..." Amon raised his hand to adjust the monocle in his right eye socket and was silent for two seconds.

Then he suddenly laughed, raised his hands and clapped softly:

“Excellent choice.”

"In return, I will not take action against Peter Pettigrew. As for whether you can force him to show up and help you prove your innocence, it depends on your own ability."

"Good luck and don't let me down."

After saying that, Amon's figure disappeared in front of Sirius as if it had been erased by an eraser.

At the same time, the books on the surrounding bookshelves disappeared with him.

"..." Sirius didn't react for a moment, suspecting that Amon was teasing him.

But thinking about the other party's performance all the time, he felt that this was indeed something Amon could do.

Sirius' thoughts raced, and he took a deep breath, knowing that no matter whether what Amon said was true or not, he had to take action immediately.

He took two steps forward and came to the place where Amon had just disappeared. He bent down and picked up an old book and a gold and emerald locket that were lying there quietly.

He looked at these two things in silence for a while, then raised his head and shouted:

"Kreacher!"

This time, the old house elf appeared instantly without any other accidents.
