105 Chapter 105
Chapter 15
There was chaos on Hogwarts, just like before. After all, it was a train full of more than 600 students, and not a single adult was looking at them.
Sirius cheered and dragged his luggage onto the train, and immediately separated from his brother. Even on the train, the four colleges are still distinct. He didn't want to join the crowd of Slytherin flattering each other, and he didn't want to compete with Ravenclaw on how many books he had read, or how many book clubs he had attended, or how many erudite scholars he had met. Of course, he forgot about Hufflepuff, does Hogwarts really have this house?
He found the Gryffindor gathering car, which was always so lively. He greeted his classmates, who patted him on the back and said, "Hey, Sirius, I thought you were dead!" ”
"I've been waiting for your funeral!"
"O Merlin! Are you still alive? ”
These bastards!
Sirius exchanged parting feelings with his damned friends before finding one of his friends, James Potter.
"Why are you here alone?" He pushed open the car door, tossed his luggage onto the overhead bin, and sat down. "What about Remus? He hasn't come yet? What about Peter? He's always one earlier. Peter Petillou never wanted to miss their gatherings, but they only played with him because they had lived in a dormitory for four years.
"It's a surprise that you weren't with your redhead." He joked.
James slammed the book in his hand and stopped pretending that he was a good boy who loved to read. After locking the carriage door, he turned his head to him angrily and said, "You can't believe what's going on!" ”
"What's going on?" Sirius said, slowly putting away the smile on his face. Ever since he got closer to Hogwarts, it was hard for him to contain his joy, as if he had been under the Joy Charm.
James whispered to him, "Peter told Remus that he was a werewolf!" ”
"What?! How would he know? Sirius jumped.
"I hate to skin that guy alive! If I find him! James said sinisterly. What's so strange about why Peter would know? That guy always knew their secrets, like how good he was at hiding in the shadows, when everything was chaotic after they were sent to the medical wing, maybe Peter overheard.
"He's like a mouse! It's disgusting! James sat down and said weakly, "This sucks, Sirius. I just learned that everyone thought we had let the werewolves bite us to death. ”
No wonder those people just said that.
Sirius suddenly realized, but he didn't understand James's words, what else was wrong?
James was reluctant to speculate: "...... I don't think they're going to let Remus come back. ”
"They can't do that!" Sirius jumped, "They can't, can they?" Buddy. They couldn't kick him out of Hogwarts. ”
James sighed, "Sirius, think about it. Remus is a werewolf, can you imagine Hogwarts accepting a troll as a student? He didn't want to think about how much of this was pressure from him and Sirius's family, the Potter family and the Black family were both pure-blooded families, and there were many in-laws in various fields of the wizarding world, unfortunately, he and Sirius were the eldest sons of these two families, he could imagine being flooded with owls and roaring letters in the principal's office after this incident, or maybe there was a lawyer's letter?
Sirius couldn't refute it, and he stubbornly said, "But that's Remus!" ”
The two fifth-year Gryffindors were at a loss, and they were optimistic that maybe it was just Remus who hadn't come yet? But until the train started, no one knocked on the box door. Peter didn't know where to hide for a long time, and he knew very well that he would be turned into a slug as soon as he appeared.
After the train left the station, Sirius and James searched the entire train, going back and forth three times. They even went to the Slytherin box, and were surprised to find Severus Snape sitting in a box and reading quietly, and he looked like a noble young master.
James used to greet him: "Hey, snot, you didn't pester Lily?" ”
Severus had to look up from his reading to cope with his old friend, he raised his wand and said, "Get out." ”
James bravely walked in, but before he could step on the floor of the carriage, a spell beam threw him out.
"I know you won't listen." Severus was not surprised, saying that after all, they had been dealing with each other for four years.
"Hey! You snot! James stood up angrily, but like someone had a dozen banana peels under his feet, he slammed the ground again.
Sirius watched in amazement, frowning at his friend's sore teeth and jaw, and stepped forward to help him up, and then he fell with him, and fell exactly on top of James.
Severus came over and closed the door, by which time the two Gryffindors had fallen five or six times, and in this carriage the Slytherins whistled at the door of the carriage to enjoy the two Gryffindors.
A Slytherin asked Severus curiously, "Severus, what did you use?" ”
"Powerful Floor Wax Charm." Severus calmly said that he learned during the holidays when he helped Mrs. Bonn with cleaning, and that there were no house elves in the Bonn family.
This explanation inspired Sirius, who was no longer in a hurry to get up from the floor and would fall again anyway, and turned the soles of his shoes into mop hair, which allowed him to finally get back up!
He excitedly called his friend, "James! I've found a way......" Before he could finish speaking, he was once again thrown to the ground by his friend.
As Gryffindors, of course, they can't expect the Slytherins to come forward to help instead of laughing at them when they make a fool of themselves, how can the lion believe that the viper has good intentions?
So instead of yelling at his friend, Sirius turned the soles of his shoes into mop heads, and the two of them moved away, each trying to get up and successfully getting out of the viper's lair. They were hit by the Stumbling Charm a few more times, but it wasn't surprising at all, as Slytherin couldn't be expected to watch Gryffindor unlucky.
After stepping out of the carriage, James worried that his jaw and teeth were still in good condition, and said, "I can be sure that Remus is not a Slytherin." ”
"Yes, I'm sure." Sirius was not good at seeing James who had just put them in that situation, he covered the back of his head and said, "I thought my head was cracked." ”
"Hi bro, I'm unintentional." James glanced at him apologetically, "I'm miserable too, I think I've got a row of loose teeth." "Because he hit his chin all over the floor, at least five times.
The Slytherin carriage encounter made both Gryffindors honest until they got off the train and didn't make any further attempts. Then the train arrived, and they sat down at the Gryffindor long table for dinner, and they didn't see Remus Lupin until they got back to the lounge.
But they caught Peter Petillu and learned the whole thing from his mouth. After all, one of them fainted and the other was seriously injured, and it was not very clear what had happened.
Sirius and James' expedition that night had not escaped Mr. Petiru's sight, and it was fair that he had overheard it long before they had made the plan.
"I'll sit next to you and write my history of magic homework while you're in the dorm room." Mr. Petiru was also very aggrieved, he didn't deliberately eavesdrop, but the two didn't deliberately avoid him when they discussed.
Sirius roared, "That's our dormitory!" We lived there together for four years! Do you think I'm going to have to worry about being overheard in my bedroom? He pounced on Peter and punched Peter again, and if it weren't for James' insistence on getting everything out of his mouth, he would have stuffed his mouth with slugs!
Holding up his wand to make sure Peter was under their control, James said, "Peter, I thought we were friends. Peter was always with them, and four years of sharing a dormitory had made him accustomed to seeing Peter as their friend, and he never thought he would betray them.
Peter Petiru dodged his gaze: "This is not a betrayal...... I'm not...... I want to betray you...... James, you get it, right? It's just that when he knows such a secret, he can't help but want to share it with others! Otherwise he's going to explode.
Peter didn't go with them, but he did want to know the Remus Lupin family secrets, and for four years he would disappear on time for a few days every month at the full moon, wasn't it curious?
So after Sirius disappeared with James at half-past six, he had been excitedly waiting for them to return. Although he did not join them on the expedition, he believed that he would tell them when they returned.
But at nine o'clock in the evening, there was a sudden commotion in the castle.
He was very good at keeping an eye on these small places, and he used to notice the professor before the other three, so that they could avoid confinement again and again.
He thinks James and Sirius succeeded! But maybe they were caught this time, and the portrait wouldn't tell him what was going on, because they didn't know the truth, but they talked.
“…… Several children were sent to the medical wing! ”
"Too bad, I knew this was going to happen!"
Peter immediately ran to the medical wing, where he sought out Madam Pomfrey with a toothache, and then heard her and the other professors outside the door.
"It's horrible! Have they been bitten? Rhett, tell me! O Merlin! Madam Pomfrey was alarmed.
"No, Bobby, don't worry, they're fine, they haven't been bitten when I went in. Just a few injuries, maybe some broken bones, but I didn't let them get bitten. This was the voice of Professor Riddle Jr., Head of Slytherin.
Peter cautiously hid outside the door.
"Thank you Merlin! Luckily, otherwise, I don't think we would have been able to explain it to their parents! Madam Pomfrey said.
"Bobby, I'll leave it to you, right? You know, there's another guy in the back room, and I need to go see him. Professor Riddle Jr. said.
"He? Oh...... He's okay, right? Madam Pomfrey had a strange voice, as if she cared about the man, too, but still a little strange.
"Yes, I attacked him, in order to rescue these two students. I think he'll be fine, I'll go see him now. Professor Riddle Jr. departed, and when he came out, Peter did not hide, but went out cunningly.
He said, "Oh, Professor, hello. I'm here for Madam Pomfrey and I have a bit of a toothache. ”
Professor Riddle Jr. ignored him and went out.
He took the medicine from Madam Pomfrey, and she let him go without even watching him drink it, as if there was something behind her that was covered by a curtain in the hospital bed that could not allow him to see people.
But he recognized Sirius boots, the very cool metal buckle was so conspicuous that he used to envy it and wanted a pair of them.
He took the medicine and walked out, and then hid back in the shadows outside the door, and Madam Pomfrey seemed to be busy moving around in the medical wing, and the vials clanged as if she were very upset.
She said to herself, "Merlin...... I really don't understand, werewolf? Why not let him go home? Even if it's just to let him leave the castle when the moon is full......"
Werewolf?! There are werewolves in the castle?!
Peter found out that tonight was the full moon! He was so frightened that he couldn't care about anything, and immediately ran back to Gryffindor, hid in the bed, and covered his head with a quilt.
The next day, rumors spread throughout the school, and it was said that Sirius and James had brought their parents home, and the Black and Potter principals were furious, and the two families were arguing with each other, and it was said that even Headmaster Dumbledore's beard had made them scorch with a spell.
Then, Remus Lupin disappeared without a sound. It seems that he was also quietly picked up by his parents, though not as flamboyant as the Blacks and Porters.
Peter found that it seemed as if he were the first to notice that Remus was not human, and in the blink of an eye he was the only one left in his bedroom. Thinking of something he overheard, he quickly connected it all together and deduced an astonishing fact.
At first it was just a guess, and even that scared him a lot. But it's all too obvious that Remus disappears every full moon, Sirius and James make a strange appearance in the medical wing, and they are still in bed when they are taken away by their parents.
Peter's fear was followed by excitement at the heart of a great secret, and an irrepressible desire to confide.
The first person asked him if he knew why Sirius and James were back home, and he told it all. Then everyone knew, and the rumors became more and more outrageous, some said that Sirius and James had become werewolves, others said that they had been seen in the corridors having their hands and feet torn apart by werewolves, and even blood stains had been found in the Forbidden Forest, in the sewers, and by the lake. Before the holiday, the rumor finally turned out that both of them were swallowed by the werewolf Lupin, and every full moon night, Lupin slowly ate the two friends in the same dormitory, eating one of their legs today, and the other tomorrow, and then everyone saw that they were okay during the day because the werewolf hallucinated.
After saying all this in front of Sirius and James, Peter breathed a sigh of relief again, and finally said it all.
"Eat one of our legs every night?" Sirius bloodily lifted Peter up, "I only regret that if this is the case, why didn't they let them eat you first!!" ”
"Wait! …… Sirius, my friend, I didn't mean to! James...... Persuade him, I am your friend, I have helped you many times......" Peter's voice came to pleading.
Two hours later, Gryffindor Dean Professor McGonagall angrily yelled at her two students, "Less than half a day after school started, you sent your classmates to the Medical Wing!" Deduct points!! 20 points per person!! Plus two weeks of labor confinement!! Now, go back to your beds! If you let me know what you've done again, I'll get you out of Hogwarts!" I do what I say! ”
Behind her, Madam Pomfrey looked helplessly at the patient on the hospital bed covered with tiny tentacles and strange long beards, and said worriedly, "Okay, how many spells did they use?" It looks so weird. ”
Professor McGonagall came over after her interrogation.
Madam Pomfrey said, "Minerva, I think you'll probably need to get both Professor Flitwick and Professor Riddle Jr. over, and I need the help of the Charms and Potions professors, by the way, did you tell what spells they used?" ”
Professor McGonagall blushed and said, "All I know is that they used two or three spells, and one unsuccessful Transfiguration Charm. ”
"What has become? This may help. Madam Pomfrey said.
"Mouse, I think." Professor McGonagall leaned over to look at poor Mr. Peter Petillu's tentacles.
"Well, I think I know, these tentacles are rat tails? There are thousands! "The poor boy was covered with rat tails, and I hope he will not have any psychological problems with rats in the future.
