"Jack Silver?" Sirius's terrifying face smiled eeriely, and he opened his mouth, revealing his sallow teeth—
"Except for your weapons!" He said in a hoarse voice, pointing Ron's wand at them. Harry's wand spun into the sky and was caught by Black, and with a flick of his wand Silver, Sirius's spell dissipated as if it had hit an invisible wall in the air.
Sirius took a step forward, and he stared at Silver. The smile on the skeleton-like face was even more weird: "The Iron Armor Spell, or the silent spell, really surprised me." I thought there would be no more gifted students at Hogwarts, oh, you should be as old as Harry, and the little wizard in the third year has such a look. When you were your age, Jaime and I were certainly no match for you combined, but now—"
Sirius's two wands unleashed two spells, one red and one green, that pierced through the air and threatened to hit Silver.
"Knock, knock. The two spells slammed into the invisible wall in front of Silver again, just like the "Except Your Weapon" just now. Sirius looked surprised.
"Mr. Black, I have no intention of making your enemies. Silver raised his wand above his head. "Casting two spells together is a very interesting technique, but the drawbacks are also obvious - the power of each spell is reduced by at least half. Mr. Black has been tortured in Azkaban for thirteen years, and his current health is so poor that he will not be able to take my strong iron armor in a short period of time. As soon as I raise my hand, I can raise the alarm - the Aurors of Hogwarts and Hogsmeade will be here soon, and I believe that such an outcome is not what you want to see. ”
Sirius let out a strange laugh that shook the dust in the room as if it were jumping. Sirius put away his smile, "Are you threatening me?"
Silver shook his head very calmly: "No, no, no, Mr. Black, I didn't mean to threaten you at all. Obviously, I'm just trying to make a fact clear to you and trying to achieve a win-win result. ”
"Oh, tell me?"
"The Black family also has a good relationship with the Silver family—"
"Don't mention any family friendships to me!"
"Oh, there's this," Silver pulled out a crumpled note from his robe. "Mr. Black has not yet paid the balance of the two-way mirror that Mr. Black made with our Silver family eighteen years ago. ”
"Presumably Mr. Black is not going to be in debt. Silver said with a smile. "Of course, in order for Mr. Black to be able to repay this debt smoothly, I will not report Mr. Black at this time. ”
"I'll pay that money right now, and—"
"Oooh oh. Silver took a step back, seemingly nonchalant. "Mr. Black, you can't say that, your final payment is not a small amount to this day, and the price has skyrocketed in the past eighteen years, and the profits have rolled, and Mr. Black owes me the Silver family a full two thousand Galleons, so much money, Mr. Black may not be able to take it out now. ”
Blake slowly lowered his wand. "Well, the talkative boy. I don't have much time, so I can't go on like this. He turned to look at Harry.
"I think you'll come to help your friends. He said in a hoarse voice. "Your dad would do the same to me. You were so brave that you didn't go to the teacher. I'm grateful because that way things are much easier. ”
Harry's ears rang as if he had been taunting his father, as if Black had just shouted out loud. Hatred boiled in Harry's chest, so there was no place for fear to stay. For the first time in his life, he longed for the wand back in his hand, not to defend himself, but to attack—to kill!
Silver stopped him. "Calm down, Potter. It's not good for you to provoke Sirius, and I don't want the headline in the Daily Prophet tomorrow to be 'Hogwarts students die screaming in a shack, suspected to be the work of a ghost'. ”
"If you're going to kill Harry, you're going to kill us too!" Ron stood up suddenly, furiously, though his face had turned paler from the straining of his feet, and he shook a little as he spoke.
Something flickered in Blake's dark eyes. "Lie down," he said to Ron calmly, "you're going to hurt that leg even more." ”
"Do you hear me?" Ron said weakly, though he was holding on to Harry in pain to get up straight. "You must kill all three of us!"
"Even though the atmosphere is not right, I would like to add one more thing. Silver stretched. "It's a little difficult for Mr. Black to kill me. ”
"Of course, I can't stop him from killing you. Silver's voice was full of pleasure, and there was no frustration to be seen. ”
"There will only be one murder here tonight. Blake said, his smile even wider.
"Why do that?" Harry spat out, "I didn't care last time, didn't I, did I? In order to get Peter Pettigrew, you can kill so many Muggles without caring and go crazy in Azkaban, so what's the matter?" He was so excited that he suddenly rushed towards Blake.
"It's all petrified. Harry froze and fell to the ground.
"Silver, are you Sirius's accomplice?"
"Shut up, Potter. Silver's tone was indescribably cold. "Are you trying to kill yourself and piggyback on Ron, don't you have any quickness and patience in your head other than the recklessness of Gryffindor? There's no point in provoking Sirius, Mr. Potter, you're just kidding the precious lives you bought for your parents' lives. ”
"He killed my parents!"
Blake glared at Harry with his deep-set eyes.
"I don't deny it," he said calmly, "but if you know the whole story—"
"All the inside story?" Harry repeated, a violent thumping sound in his ears. "You betrayed them to Voldemort, that's all I need to know!"
"You must listen to me," said Blake, and now there was an urgent tone in his voice, "and if you don't—you don't understand—you'll regret it." ”
"I know more than you think," said Harry, his voice trembling even more, "you've never heard her scream, have you? ”
There was a strange grunt from Crook Hill nearby, and then there was a new sound—the sound of low footsteps echoing across the floor—someone walking downstairs. The door to the room was slammed open in a burst of sparks, and Harry spun around.
"Remus, long time no see. ”
"Long time no see, Sirius. Lupin's face was pale, and his wand was pointed silently at Black.
