Hogwarts Dances with Dragons

The news of Sirius's escape from prison swept through the entire magical world like a strong wind. For a time, people in the magical world were panicked.

For some people who know the real news, the so-called Sirius is just a joke.

For example, Lucius Malfoy, of course he knew that Sirius was not Voldemort's subordinate, but seeing the bastard who had caused so much trouble to the Death Eaters being hunted down by the Ministry of Magic, what could be more disturbing than that? What about happy things?

What Ivan didn't expect was that just after he returned to his house in London, Snape would suddenly come to the door.

That night, Alvin and Hermione were playing wizard chess on the small table. A burst of magic fire exploded in the fireplace, and Snape strode out of the fireplace.

"Good evening, you two." Snape said calmly.

"Hey, good evening." Ivan looked at him: "Has the new potion been mixed?"

"The research on the potion will take some time, but don't worry, I already have a rough idea." Snape sat down in the seat that Hermione left and was silent for a brief moment.

"So...you are here to play chess with me?" Ivan raised his eyebrows.

"Of course not, I just got some interesting news." Snape said with a sneer on his face: "Sirius escaped from prison, have you heard?"

"I heard Mr. Weasley say it during the day, so what are you talking about? Do you want me to protect Harry?" Ivan asked.

"No, I just feel something is wrong." Snape said calmly: "Actually, I don't think he is someone who would seek refuge with the Dark Lord."

"Huh?" Ivan suddenly became interested. He knew that Sirius was innocent. Although he died in the fifth part, he found it incredible that Snape could come to this conclusion: "I thought You will take this opportunity to kill him."

"It would have happened in the past." Snape looked unkind, with a hint of resentment in his eyes: "But I have been seeking changes recently. If things are really as people see them, I would rather kill him with my own hands. .”

"Is there so much hatred?" Ivan smiled.

"That's because you don't know what he did to me." Snape's expression was slightly distorted.

"But I think you are right. He may have really been wronged." Ivan glanced at him. He was not interested in Snape's past grudges: "I have heard that Azkaban The guards are dementors, and it’s impossible for normal humans to escape from Azkaban, right?”

"That's right." Snape nodded.

"What if it's not a normal 'human'?" Ivan asked.

Snape seemed to have thought of something, and his expression suddenly changed: "That guy is most likely an Animagus! Dementors only have special reactions to human emotions... But that's wrong... Why did he choose this time..."

"You're right. In fact, I guess it's the same. It's more interesting this way, isn't it?" Ivan smiled: "An Animagus would have run away long ago. If he really wanted to kill Harry, he would have run away." , why do you have to stay in prison for 12 years?”

"Unless - he has a reason to show up." Ivan said, throwing a newspaper in front of Snape.

Snape picked up the newspaper and looked at it, and found that it was a photo of Harry and Lockhart.

"Like his father, a pushy guy..." Snape sneered.

"Look at the photo below." Alvin pointed to the photo with Ron: "Did you see the mouse on Ron's shoulder?"

"What do you mean?" Snape was confused.

"This is also an Animagus." Ivan said casually: "I have noticed since I entered school that this guy is actually a human being. He smells like a greasy middle-aged man, most likely a fat man."

Snape's face was livid at the moment, and Hermione also looked in disbelief: "So - Ivan - you never told Dumbledore?"

"I owe him a favor." Alvin shrugged: "When school started on the train, Harry and Malfoy were about to fight, and I was motion sick at the time. If it hadn't been for this rat, I might have been beaten."

Hermione was speechless. Obviously she knew very well that Alvin was not a messenger of justice.

"Ron's rat Spot, I heard him say that this rat has been in his house for 12 years..." Ivan said.

Snape picked up the newspaper, stared at the mouse again and again, and finally put it down with a serious look on his face: "Peter Pettigrew..."

"You can actually recognize it?" Ivan was very surprised.

"There were rumors before that Sirius Black was the Potter family's secret keeper. For this reason, the Dark Lord has been chasing him. This is why I feel something is wrong. The Black family members are all madmen. During that time, he has been Attracting the attention of Death Eaters, they will hate him to death."

"And this guy is missing a claw... Yes, that's right..." Snape said calmly, with hatred shining in his eyes: "I guess that idiot played a little trick and secretly changed the secret keeper to Got this coward..."

"So who is he?" Ivan asked.

"Peter Pettigrew, Potter's little follower when he was in school, they like to call him Wormtail... Rumor has it that he was killed by Black, and the biggest remains was a finger..." Snape said, and suddenly laughed evilly: "Look It looks like this guy was betrayed by his good friend. I really want to see what kind of expression he had on his face at that time. It must be very exciting..."

"Wormtail..." Alvin muttered softly: "Okay, I have seen this name."

As he said this, he took out the Marauder's Map and his wand: "I solemnly swear that I will not do bad things."

Then, the map of Hogwarts appeared on the parchment. Snape's eyes immediately opened. Of course, when he saw Dumbledore's name in the principal's room, he couldn't help but sneer: "I see, no wonder, they always Can you escape punishment..."

"Can you lend me this map for now?" Snape asked.

"Of course - no." Ivan shook his head: "It's still useful to me."

Although he couldn't tell the details of the plot, he still remembered the titles of the Harry Potter series. The third Harry Potter book was called Prisoner of Azkaban, and the second one should be called Chamber of Secrets.

However, he was only in his second year, which meant that in the course of the original world, Peter Pettigrew should not have appeared in the newspaper at this time.

In other words, normally speaking, there is a high probability that Ron was not dragged into taking photos by Lockhart. At least Ivan felt that the other person's extremely self-centered narcissistic mentality would not care about Ron's existence at all.

So why did Lockhart take Ron for a photo?

What role did he play in this?

Ah... my head seems to be growing...

Ivan doesn't know much about the plot of Harry Potter, but one thing he does know is that most of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professors at Hogwarts are born every year.

So when you don't have any goals, you just need to keep an eye on the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

The Marauder's Map is still of some use for the time being.
