Chapter Seventy-Four: Losing the Case

When Lupin left with Harry and Ron, Vio didn't immediately follow, but stood in front of the stone wall and stopped to listen for a while??? ??? .?ranen`org

She waited until the three of them left, just to cast an amplification spell on her ears so she could eavesdrop on what Draco and Professor Snape were saying.

The tip of the wand tapped his ear slightly, and the sound from inside quickly came in.

Potter's head then peeks out of the air, but his body can't be seen, which startles the coward of Nott. That's the whole thing, Professor. Draco's voice echoed in Vio's ears, and her cheeks burned as she remembered how she had been dragged along by Draco.

"Hmph. Damn Potter, he tried to lie to me. He didn't know that the truth was looking at me stupidly from those eyes of him. Professor Snape said dismissively. "However, you didn't bring Weasley to me at this time, did you, do you? Draco, if you dare to be like Santriel, don't blame me for having a meeting with Lucius. ”

"Hmm," Draco paused, "Actually, the main thing is that as you heard, we dragged Coles Alex back to the Slytherin common room."

"I've heard it just now. Snape's voice straightened in an instant, and he seemed a little angry. "Anyway, Coles Alex is a student of Slytherin, and will take him to Madam Pomfrey right away. ”

"Professor," Draco argued unwillingly. "He has been bullying his roommates and classmates, especially Xiao Luo"

"That's it, I'm a little tired today, and what you said will be forgotten quickly. Get out of here, Draco, and don't forget to come and lock up at six in the morning for both days this weekend. Snape decisively interrupted Draco.

But Draco quickly added a hint of joy to his voice as he understood Professor Snape's words. "Yes, sir, rest well. ”

As soon as Vio heard that they had ended their conversation, he quickly ran after Lupin and them in small steps.

Since they hadn't been eavesdropping for long, the three Lupins hadn't gone far, and Vio caught up with them in the foyer of the first-floor auditorium, where several people were stepping up the spiral staircase leading to the Gryffindor Tower.

Vio silently followed Harry's side.

"I don't listen to explanations. Lupin said briefly next to him.

He glanced at the empty antechamber and muffled his voice as the spiral staircase moved on its own, transporting them to another spiral staircase that had turned in the other direction.

Harry bowed his head silently.

Several people waited together for the two stairs to join each other and calmly crossed them, and then sent them up by another staircase.

"I happen to know that the map was confiscated by Filch years ago. Yes, I know it's a map. He said, as Harry and Ron looked surprised. "I don't want to know how this map got into your hands. However, I am surprised that you did not hand it over. Especially after the last time a student scribbled around with information about the castle. I can't let you hold it anymore, Harry. ”

Harry had already thought of this, and in his rush to explain, he didn't have time to protest.

"Why did Snape say I got it directly from the Maker?"

"Because," Lupin hesitated, "because the man who made the map may be trying to lure you out of school." They thought the map would be fun. ”

"Do you know them?" asked Harry, looking urgent.

"We've met. He said briefly. He looked at Harry with a more serious expression than ever.

"Don't expect me to cover your up any longer, Harry. I can't make you take Sirius Black seriously. But I thought what you heard when the Dementors approached you would have a greater impact on you. Your parents sacrificed themselves to keep you alive, Harry. It's not good to repay them like this, exchange their sacrifice for a pocket of magic tricks. ”

He walked away, leaving Harry there, who was more upset than he had been in Snape's office.

Vio looked at Harry and ran to catch up with Lupin.

"Is there anything wrong?vio?" asked Lupin with concern.

"Does the professor want to get that picture back from Professor Snape?" asked Vio in a whisper. "I think I might be able to help a little"

Professor Lupin shook his head and said gently, "It might be a good thing not to let that Harry use that picture again." ”

"So Professor, wait, if, if, would you like to have a pet dog?" Vio asked him in a lower voice.

Lupin's eyebrows moved slightly, and he seemed to sense something sensitively, but he didn't pay attention to it. Four-legged creatures, especially, are somewhat related to things like wolves.

Lupin smiled, "I don't think I can be distracted from the daily lives of creatures other than myself for the time being. ”

Vio nodded, Lupin's refusal was one of the results she thought of, take it one step at a time, anyway, Sirius had been nesting in the Forbidden Forest since he followed her into school, and he hadn't passed any information to Vio during this time.

Lupin finally looked at Vio and was silent for a while, then added, "I hope that when you are together, there will always be one of you who can be sensible at all times." ”

It sounded like Lupin had long since acquiesced to anything that Vio and Ron heard him and Harry say. also tacitly acknowledged that they are a group, a group that always causes trouble and loves impulsiveness.

Vio nodded, watching Lupin leave.

As she turned to walk back, she saw Hermione coming out of a fork in the marble hallway, hurrying towards her.

Harry and Ron were also not far away.

When the four of them got together, Ron still wouldn't give Hermione a nice look.

"Schadenfreude?" he asked, staring at Hermione. "Or maybe you just told Professor McGonagall about us?"

"Nope. Hermione had a letter in her hand, her face pale, and she looked like she was going to fall at some point.

"I thought you should know. Hagrid lost the case. Newbaren will soon be executed. ”

Ron was surprised, and so was Harry. At the same time, they felt a little guilty, and almost forgot about it completely.

Vio sighed silently in his heart What is there to be surprised about, as early as today on the hillside outside the screaming shack, when they hid together and heard Draco say that he wanted to hear Hagrid say something useful in the trial, Vio knew that Newbaren was unlikely to win this lawsuit.

"Didn't I say you've been helping Hagrid find information all the time?" Ron asked Hermione anxiously, as if she had gone to the trial in Newbaren.

Hermione glared at him, her voice sharp and sharp, "Yes, yes, yes, but I don't know if Hagrid finished all the defenses I had prepared, and Neville said he heard from his grandmother that there was a lot going on in this trial." His grandmother was good friends with one of the Wizengamot trials. (To be continued.)
