The four men leaned over and knelt by the fireplace. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Good evening, Aven, Harry, Ron, Hermione!" Sirius said with a smile, "you guys don't look too good. ”

"We're fine!" Harry asked hurriedly, "Sirius, where are you?"

"12 Grimmauld Place, in the old Black family's mansion!" Sirius replied, "it's safe here, and you don't have to worry about being found out or overheard in our conversations. Okay, leave me alone and tell me what you've seen. ”

Harry and Ron recounted Karkaroff's unusual behavior in the morning, and Hermione hesitated to tell him what had happened in the castle last weekend night, and Moody's break-into Snape's office, to which Evan added.

"Oh, Moody sneaked into Snape's office at night?" Sirius was interested.

Yes, but it was purely because Keresis wanted to get his hands on the gill sac grass and dig a trap for Barty Crouch Jr.

Now that Sirius has arrived, Evan intends to take this opportunity to reveal some news to him. Then, ask the Ministry of Magic about the Death Eaters' tracking, the vampires' quest for the ruins of the ancient warlocks, and Barty Crouch to see if there's any new progress on the Aurors.

Because Barty Crouch Jr. is very dangerous, Evan did not tell Harry, Ron, and Hermione about his identity as Moody and the truth of the incident.

They don't know Occlumency, and they haven't experienced it.

He had spoken to Dumbledore, and both agreed that the matter should be kept from the others for the time being.

Especially Harry and Ron, if they knew the truth of the matter, they would definitely not be able to control it.

Once discovered by Barty Crouch Jr., the consequences are unimaginable.

Revealing something to Sirius would help him understand the current situation, use the status of the Auror to do his job better, and finally need his help in the face of Voldemort. The premise is that he doesn't run to Hogwarts because he is too worried.

"You don't know Moody!" Sirius said, "and when the Mad-Eye enters Hogwarts, he's sure to search every teacher's office. Moody was a man he probably didn't believe in anyone, and after all he had witnessed, it wasn't surprising that he did this. However, I want to say a word of justice for Moody, as long as it can be avoided, he never kills innocent people indiscriminately. He always tried to bring people back alive as much as he could, he was rough, but he never lowered himself to the rank of a Death Eater. ”

"So, Snape might really be doing something wrong!" Harry continued, "that's why Moody ......"

"It's hard to say!" Sirius said slowly, "I'm not done, because what you're going to do is very unusual. From what I know of Mad-Eye Moody, he wouldn't have been so sneaky if he had searched Snape's office again. ”

"yes, he openly searched Snape's office the day before yesterday, and in front of everyone, we were all watching, and Snape's horrible face was ......," Harry said, a little unrelenting, "but I think Moody must have been looking for something, and he probably knew that Snape was doing something shady." ”

"Harry, we should trust Snape, and Dumbley believes in him!" Hermione couldn't help but say.

"Just stop for a moment, Hermione!" Ron said impatiently, "I know Dumbledore is great and great, but that doesn't mean a very cunning dark wizard can't fool him. ”

"Then why did Snape save Harry's life when we were in first year, why didn't he let Harry die?" Hermione asked rhetorically.

"I don't know, maybe he thought Dumbledore was going to kick him out. ”

"I think you both have a point. Sirius looked thoughtfully at Ron and Hermione and said, "To be honest, I've been wondering why Dumbledore hired Snape since I heard that Snape was teaching here last year. Snape had always been fascinated by the dark arts, and became famous for it when he was in school. He was a creamy, slick, oily little boy who knew more spells than half of the seventh-graders when he first entered the school. He was also a member of a Slytherin gang that later became almost all Death Eaters. ”

In the flames, Sirius began to call people by name.

"Rozier and Wilkes, who were both killed by the Aurors a year before Voldemort fell. Mr. and Mrs. Slytranch, imprisoned in Azkaban. Avery, as far as I understand him, used deception to get himself out of business, he said that he had fallen under the Imperius Curse, that he had acted involuntarily, that he was still at large, and that ......" he said many of the names of the Death Eaters imprisoned in Azkaban, and concluded that "although as far as I know, Snape was never accused of being a Death Eater, but that doesn't say much about it. Many of them were not caught, and Snape was undoubtedly cunning and clever enough to wash himself clean. ”

"And Karkaroff!" Harry reminded Sirius, "you said he was a Death Eater too. ”

"yes, he's a Death Eater too!" Sirius nodded, looking a little confused, "but I don't know if he showed Snape what was on his arm, which is weird, but if Karkaroff was anxious and asked Snape for an idea......"

He stared at the four of them with a serious look on his face, and then grimaced as if deflated.

"Hermione was right, Dumbledore believed in Snape, and sometimes the people Dumbledore believed and many others didn't. But I don't think Snape would have allowed him to teach at Hogwarts if he had worked for Voldemort. ”

There was silence for a while, and Sirius kept staring at them, and finally his eyes fell on Aven.

"Aven, did you find anything?" he asked softly, noticing that Evan hadn't spoken.

"Karkaroff and Snape are Death Eaters after all, they have shared experiences in the past, and it's not surprising that they have any communication, especially in the current situation. Evan paused, and gave Sirius a look, "Is there anything going on with the Ministry? I heard that Mr. Barty Crouch is sick?!"

"yes, this has already alarmed Fudge, and everyone in the Ministry of Magic knows about it. Sirius nodded knowingly, "It's also strange that Crouch is suddenly sick and can't come to work. It was actually very unusual, and there were no signs of his illness. Moreover, instead of going to the hospital, he kept himself locked up in his house, at least what we could see from the outside, and only Percy would have been instructed by him......"
