Chapter 170: Old Grievances at Hogwarts (11)
Sirius's attitude towards Snape is somewhat strange, if he has always been loyal to the Order of the Phoenix - through this "congenial" chat, Phyllis no longer thinks this is nonsense, Sirius's personality determines that he cannot go to Voldemort, which may be the reason why Professor Lupin said that he has no understanding of Sirius's behavior. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The reason is actually very simple, he does not have some kind of indescribable superstition about authority like Lupin, and the occurrence of unjust, false and wrongful convictions is inevitable in any law enforcement agency, especially when this incident happened in that specific era, a chaotic era, and it is normal for some mistakes to occur.
If Sirius had always been loyal to the Order of the Phoenix, then why would he have the exact opposite view of Dumbledore. If you think about it, Snape didn't actually have the support of anyone else on Dumbledore's side, and everyone's support for Snape depended on Dumbledore's trust in him, because the greatest wizard of the day trusted him, so those who trusted Headmaster Dumbledore would have a trust in him.
Snape, this man is so interesting, Phyllis couldn't help but think to herself, there must be a lot of things that can be dug up from him.
"What do you think about again, so happy." Sirius said.
"Huh? What the? Phyllis woke up and said, "Sorry, I was a little distracted. ”
"Nothing." Sirius was a little hesitant, even a little twisted, which was not common, he was a dashing man, with a straightforward and straightforward personality, and he really didn't know what made him so embarrassed.
Finally, Sirius finally spoke, "Can you help me get into Hogwarts?" ”
The smile on Phyllis's face retracted, she took out a large vacuum bag from her backpack, and said, "Here are some pickled beef, I should have eaten it for a long time, you can keep it." With that, she began to pack up the leftovers of their meals, putting the garbage in paper bags and stuffing it into her own backpack. After packing up, Phyllis got up and walked away without saying a word.
Sirius could only stare at it in a daze, not knowing what to say.
On the way back, Phyllis kept wondering what Sirius wanted to do when he was obsessed with entering Hogwarts if Sirius hadn't always been chasing Harry Potter. Is there something here that he is obsessed with dealing with, or is it someone he wants to meet?
Phyllis kept flashing back to their previous conversation in her mind - for a fourth-order trialist like Phyllis, it wasn't difficult to memorize a conversation that lasted more than half an hour completely, of course, it required some specific training.
"Peter Pettigrew." As she was about to leave the Forbidden Forest, Phyllis said the name, and her face became very ugly.
The reason why she said this name was because when she replayed the conversation for the third time in her head, she finally felt that Sirius showed a kind of hatred when he mentioned the name, his slightly trembling eyes, slightly stiff finger muscles, and the deliberate avoidance of his own eyes all showed that he had a special hatred for Peter Pettigrew, and considering that he was risking great danger to infiltrate Hogwarts, this hatred was well hidden, but it must have been unforgettable.
But why? According to the Ministry of Magic, Sirius had already killed Pettigrew twelve years ago, and the whole person was completely blown to pieces, and only a finger remained.
No one would have such a hatred for a dead person, at least not Sirius, that is, Pettigrew might still be alive. If he was still alive, then there were actually two parties involved in the incident that killed twelve ordinary people at that time, Sirius and Pettigrew, and if Sirius was wronged, then who committed that crime?
From this point of view, looking at the crime twelve years ago, Pettigrew was blown up to only one finger, although many people resented Sirius's brutality because of this, but as evidence, it is actually not very sufficient, is it really blown up to pieces, leaving no other stumps? Was it because the case was closed in a hurry and was not discovered, or was it not found at all?
Peter Pettigrew is still alive, and there is no real evidence for this judgment, but it is a possible inference that must be taken into account. Sirius had come here to avenge him, but Phyllis hadn't figured out how he had determined that his enemy, Pettigrew, was at Hogwarts.
As for why Phyllis was so ugly, Sirius was clearly trying to hide it, and he was so successful in doing so that Phyllis, who was sensitive enough, didn't even notice it at the time, in other words, the psychedelic potion she had put in the wine didn't work at all. What if Sirius just thought the wine was a little rushed, what if he sensed something was wrong with the bottle?
Phyllis's eyes became fierce, this person can't stay, I just hope that those marinated beef can "send him away".
Phyllis was about to take a step, but stopped again, no, it was too unsafe. In order to avoid accidents, whether it is psychedelics or poisons in marinated beef, Phyllis chooses to be very hidden, even if the poison can be completely regarded as discomfort caused by other reasons, of course, correspondingly, the toxicity is not so strong. This way of killing people is a very good guarantee that this matter will not be blamed on Phyllis, but as far as poisoning a person is concerned, it is too unsafe, and now, she needs to make an insurance.
Phyllis turned and returned to the Forbidden Forest.
Next to a small lake deep in the Forbidden Forest, Phyllis waited for almost an hour to find the person she wanted to see.
This is a tall and strong horse man, with a black and shiny hair and a muscular upper body, and he also holds a spear in his hand, looking at the black and red blood stains on the spear shaft, presumably this spear is not a toy, but a murder weapon that can bring death.
"Bane, it's ungraceful to keep a lady waiting so long." Phyllis said with a smile.
Bane waved his spear and said, "Wizard, tell me what you came for, or this spear will pierce ......"
With a loud bang, Bane's spear exploded, and shattered stubble flew everywhere and scattered all over the ground.
Phyllis slowly lowered her wand and said, "I don't like the shouting of people in front of me, do you understand?" ”
Looking at Phyllis's pure inky eyes, Bane was completely stunned.
"It's good, you can talk about something in a friendly and peaceful atmosphere, and it's not ...... when you come up," Phyllis could finish her sentence when Bane came to his senses and rushed at her with a roar.
Phyllis frowned, this is not a good partner to work with, his brain is also filled with muscles, there is no wisdom and reason at all, dealing with this kind of person, it is impossible to exchange some interests, they don't have that concept in their minds at all.
Perhaps she was wrong and shouldn't have cooperated with the centaurs at all, the thought flashed through Phyllis's mind as she waved her wand, and the grass and vines on the ground quickly colluded to form a rope buckle, and the position of a sharp stone shifted. When Bane rushed towards Phyllis, he stepped into it, and was tripped directly, and the whole person fell into the mud, unfortunately, there was a stone in front of him when he fell, and he saw that his head was about to hit it, Bane supported the ground with his elbow, and barely dodged it, but a long bloody cut was cut on his face.
It's a pity, Phyllis sighed to herself, if only he could fall to his death, after all, a centaur being killed by a wizard would still cause some waves.
Because the centaur has four legs, it will be very stable in both combat and charge, and it is not easy to fall, but at the same time, once it falls to the ground, it is not so easy to get up. It took Bain to struggle to his feet, his eyes bloodshot with rage, and he was about to fight with Phyllis, the woman was toying with him and tarnishing his honor as a warrior!
At this moment, a warm voice came: "Bane, you go back first, I'll talk to this wizard lady." Phyllis turned her head and saw a female centaur approaching, her body had silver silky hair, and even faintly exuded a halo, and the upper body was a young woman, who looked to be in her twenties, wearing a white fur wallet and many ornaments.
Seeing the centaur coming out, Bane was surprised and said, "Sajie, why are you here?" At this time, he couldn't care about Phyllis, so he hurriedly walked over and protected her.
A white starlight appeared on Sajie's hand, caressing Bane's face, and a little starlight seeped through the wound, and the long bloody wound healed quickly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
After treating Bane's injuries, Sajie said again, "Bane, you go back first." ”
The young centaur seemed to have a great deal of authority in the clan, and Bane did as she was reluctant, but did as she was told. Before leaving, Bane glared at Phyllis and said to Sajie, "Be careful, wizards are not trustworthy. ”
Sajie said, "Okay, I'll be careful. ”
Convincing Bane away, Sajie walked over and said, "Hello, Miss Wizard, I'm Sajie Silvermane, the daughter of the patriarch of the centaur tribe, and the new witch of the tribe.
The daughter of the patriarch? In other words, this beautiful female centaur is the princess of this tribe, and Phyllis does not know much about the social structure of centaurs, if she knows some, she will understand that in the tribe of centaurs, the status of Wu Zhu is very special. Centaurs believe in the stars and believe that the trajectory of the constellations can guide their lives and futures, and there are not many centaurs who can truly understand the revelations brought by the stars, and Wu Zhu is one of them, and in most cases, the only one. The patriarch of the centaur tribe is mainly responsible for hunting and defending the homeland, and it is the witch Zhu who really guides the direction of the tribe, and it is not a simple matter to be called a witch zhu, and even sometimes the centaur tribe will not find a suitable person to serve as a witch zhu, and this position can only be vacant.
If you want to understand the stars, in addition to talent and bloodline, rich knowledge is also very important, so the centaurs who can be called Wuzhu are often old men, but Sajie is different, her talent can already be described as amazing, after going out to travel for a while, it happened that the old Wuzhu of the previous session passed away after coming back, and after being promoted, he directly served as the new Wuzhu of this centaur tribe.
Although in the eyes of wizards, many centaurs are already experts in horoscope divination, in fact, in the centaur tribe, only Wuzhu can truly be called a person who can understand the stars.
Phyllis also introduced herself: "Hello, I'm Phyllis Kate. ”
Sajie walked over slowly and said, "I've heard of you, two years ago you picked up a poor unicorn cub in the Forbidden Forest, and there was a little conflict with our clan for this, but the matter ended quickly, and we kept peace with each other, why did you come to us again this time?" ”
Phyllis said, "I don't know much about the situation in the wizarding world. ”
"I've traveled before, and believe me, I know your situation very well. ”
Phyllis said: "Then you should know that in this reshuffle, you centaurs are not immune to it, the war was interrupted twelve years ago due to an accident, but it is not over, and as time goes by, the situation is still slowly fermenting. The flames of war can only be extinguished by blood, and one day the wizarding world will shed enough blood to even lose its vitality again, in this case, your previous neutrality is a joke, don't tell me that the Forbidden Forest has been the territory of centaurs for generations, Voldemort won't listen to it, and the headmaster at Hogwarts Castle won't take it to heart. ”
Perhaps to add to the persuasion, Phyllis's language was a little intense, but Sajie was completely different from the rough centaurs she had met before, she listened quietly, without any mood swings, and Phyllis felt like she had punched cotton.
After listening to Phyllis, Sajie said: "Thank you for the reminder, I am well aware of the current situation, a huge storm is brewing under the calm surface, and the dispute between Gryffindor and Slytherin that has lasted for thousands of years has started again, and this time I am afraid that it will really be a river of blood." Thinking of the hints the stars gave her, the tragedy made Sajie sigh.
Phyllis said: "The millennia of conflict between Gryffindor and Slytherin continues, but this time, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff will also be playing. ”
Sajie asked, "What do you mean by that?" ”
Phyllis smiled and said, "Literally, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff will fight for themselves." (To be continued.) )
