Being a bastard at Hogwarts is not safe.

"Tonks... are you really Anton Mita's son?"

Sirius bared his yellow teeth and asked, staring intently into Brian's face.

Naturally, Brian would not answer such an idiotic question. Seeing Sirius coming, Firenze took a few steps forward: "I won't bother you when we meet for the first time. Professor Snape, let's go."

He took the lead to walk outside, Snape thought for a moment or left behind him, he felt that he really didn't need to remind Brian not to talk nonsense, after all, he knew what to say and what not to say in his mind.

As for what he wanted to talk about with Sirius, it had nothing to do with him. He had already done what he promised Bryan, and the next step was to discuss with him how to protect Harry in the Goblet of Fire.

When the two came to a secluded place in the camp, Firenze said, "Please excuse the poor hospitality. Professor Snape, you can wait for Brian here, or you can leave on your own."

Snape was silent for a long time before he asked, "Chief Firenze, I think your relationship with Brian should be more than just friends."

"My friend, is that how he described us?" Firenze smiled slightly, "It seems that my choice is not wrong, he is the first one to describe us centaurs like this besides Hagrid and Dumbledore wizard.

Seriously, I chose to follow Brian. "

Snape's pupils constricted slightly. He had never heard of the centaur tribe participating in any incident in the wizarding world, let alone following someone, even Voldemort's darkest period never happened, but Firenze followed His words caused another earthquake in his heart.

"But he hasn't agreed yet."

Snape's brain couldn't work anymore. He had actually heard the name Firenze from Dumbledore, and knew that he was the most outstanding star fortuneteller in the centaur tribe. Snape couldn't imagine such a situation at all. A wise person would make such an inverse behavior.

He raised his head, looked at Firenze, who was in the shadow of the bonfire, and asked, "Why? I know your name, and even Dumbledore is full of praise for you. Why did you make such a choice?" ?”

Firenze was silent for a long time, and finally said two words: "Disaster."

Snape's eyes were fixed. The fact that Voldemort was still alive was by no means a secret that no one knew. He thought that Dumbledore, like him, only knew about it after Quirrell entered Hogwarts, but now He found that it seemed that many capable people knew it.

Snape took a deep breath and asked, "What kind of disaster is related to the Dark Lord?"

Firenze said slowly: "It has nothing to do with the Dark Lord, it is a very big disaster, the destruction of countries, the extinction of wizards, the disaster of human race, the catastrophe of annihilation..."

Snape asked in shock, "So you chose to follow Brian so that this disaster could be prevented?"

A light appeared in Firenze's eyes, and he murmured: "I don't know, I want to leave some kindling for the centaur tribe, this may be the only hope."

Snape lowered his head and remained silent. Perhaps he had to reconsider his partnership with Brian.

......

"You should be a student of Hogwarts, why are you here?"

Sirius had too many doubts, because he felt that Brian was very unreasonable here, but he vaguely felt something.

"Because of you." Brian replied lightly.

"because I?"

"Speak carefully, everything that happened at Hogwarts today is related to me, including your ability to catch Peter Pettigrew, including the appearance of Professor Lupine, and including my request to Snape to bring you here?"

"You know Peter Pettigrew?" Sirius exclaimed, not to mention that Brian is young and should know what happened more than ten years ago, even most wizards outside think that Peter Pettigrew is dead.

"I know! I was the one who got the Marauder's Map, and I guessed Wormtail's identity. That mouse lived too long." Brian nodded, "You've been in Hogwarts almost It's been a year, have you seen that mouse once during this time? Why did you see Peter Pettigrew's Animagus today?"

Sirius was silent. When he saw Ron clutching his pocket from a distance, he felt that today was the only chance. Although he knew that Harry's appearance in that place might be someone else's design to draw him out, he originally planned to It was the one that brought Ron to the Shrieking Shack, but the crisis he felt in his heart changed the location temporarily.

It's just that he didn't expect that it was never Harry Potter who lured him to appear, but the Animagus of Peter Pettigrew. Before that, he never considered that anyone besides himself knew the true identity of Peter Pettigrew. .

"To be more specific, I suggested that Professor Lupine use Peter Pettigrew to find you out. It can be said that Lupine knows that you will come out today, and so does Dumbledore." Brian said lightly, "The eagle The Hippogriff will definitely be executed by the Ministry of Magic, because I threatened Lucius to ask the Ministry to execute the Hippogriff. I have some of his things in my hand. I can guess how the Ministry of Magic will choose. If it is obtained, it can maintain the relationship of the pure-blood family and hit Dumbledore at the same time. Fudge will definitely not let the appeal succeed.

With the relationship between Harry and Hagrid, he will definitely appear near the hut. These people are rare, and Hagrid's attention will be attracted by the Ministry of Magic. This is your only safe chance to do it. "

Sirius stared blankly at his nephew in front of him, just as he said, when the incident happened, Sirius judged that only at this time would he not attract other teachers from Hogwarts, and he would have a chance to kill Peter Pettigrew And explain to Harry everything that happened that year.

"The reason why you haven't found Peter Pettigrew all year is because I gave Ron a Ministry of Magic prop to keep the mouse in. And Ron will eventually do it because he's worried it's a mouse Running around would provoke those dementors, he must, because he saw Harry being attacked by dementors on the train, but I broke the magic cage a few days ago."

"Why are you doing this? Are you helping me?" Sirius asked suddenly.

Brian looked up at him indifferently, and shook his head: "I originally wanted to help you. My original intention was to prevent this mouse from escaping when it found out about the crisis. But now, I have to keep this mouse intact and safe." I must leave Hogwarts, or I must let him find the Dark Lord."

Hearing this, Sirius' pupils contracted violently, staring fixedly at the boy in front of him.He finally understood where the strange feeling in his heart came from.

Snape would never come to the Forbidden Forest at this time, and the time of his appearance was such a coincidence.

It turned out that the instigator of everything turned out to be the young man in front of him. His nephew deliberately let Snape interfere with his group and let his enemy Peter Pettigrew go!
