Chapter Ninety-Six: Provoking Dumbledore
After sending two foodies back to their homes and think about it, Sephiroth went back to his room and locked the door with his backhand, spreading out the map and watching Sirius's every move.
The appearance of a large black dog at Hogwarts seemed to cause quite a stir on the first floor, but since it was not a serious problem, and the "victims" were only two Slytherin students, no students took it seriously.
For Sephiroth, this is one of the few good news that has been receiving a steady stream of bad news this year.
In short, as long as Dumbledore and the rest of the teaching didn't notice Sirius "sneaking" back to school.
As long as tonight passes, as long as there is no change before tonight, Sirius will inevitably die, and as long as he is dead, it doesn't matter.
On the yellowish parchment, the point representing Sirius slowly calmed down.
It seems that he has finally eaten and drunk enough and is beginning to recuperate.
Yes, after all, after being locked up in Azkaban for so many years, his body has long been overwhelmed, and even the big black dog he transformed into has become a scrawny and miserable appearance.
Although they didn't notice that the black dog was an Animagus, at this critical juncture, the slightest wind and grass would make the professors' hearts palpitate. Hogwarts is a wizarding academy, but it's not a place where anything can get in, and a dog can run into the castle?
The other professors may not be very clear, but Snape certainly will not ignore this matter, and the form of the Animagus of the Marauders, Snape, who has fought against them for so many years, knows best.
However, he wasn't going to help Sirius, and Sephiroth wasn't worried about him interfering.
Rather, if Sephiroth could really kill him, and even torture him with [Piercing Heart] before killing Sirius, Snape would wake up laughing in the middle of the night.
Late at night, Sephiroth glanced at Snape's location, he had been staying in the cellar's office, and the potion used for guarding the door was gone.
Sephiroth smiled knowingly in his heart, Snape really deserved to be the head of Slytherin, and his feeling was keen, he must have guessed something. With such a deliberately laissez-faire move, Snape's resentment towards the Potter four is really not small.
Picking up the parchment, Sephiroth opened his door and exited the Slytherin common room, glanced at the professor's office with the lights on, and turned around and ran towards the fourth floor.
Kill Sirius, the legacy of the Black family, and then the precious magic collection and magic items are all mine. Sephiroth ran as he checked the map to avoid running headlong into the patrolling professors.
The fourth floor has become quiet at the moment.
Sephiroth stopped at the statue of Gregory and exhaled the stuffy breath in his chest. Calming slightly, Sephiroth reached out and pushed open the door of the secret passage.
As soon as he stepped out, darkness enveloped him, and the door behind him closed silently. It's dark and quiet, and you can't hope that the professors in the secret passages will also add bright candles.
In the darkness, only his own wheezing echoed in his ears.
Should I use [Fluorescent Flash] at this time, or should I use some other magic?
"If only there were 'glorious hands.'"
The Glorious Hand is an ancient Western witchcraft that takes the hands of prisoners who have been hanged and executed and soaked them in mandrake, which can be used to glow. But only the owner himself can see the light.
It's a pity that such a thing is not something that ordinary people can get, especially now that murder in the wizarding world is a serious crime. The inhumane punishment of hanging had long since been abandoned by Muggles, and it was difficult to find the hand of a hanged prisoner.
So, what was once a rare prop is now almost gone.
However, the night vision is not difficult for Sephiroth. Even Muggles have invented tools that allow them to see at night without light, and there's no reason Sephiroth wouldn't use them.
"Hmph, I've been prepared."
Out of nowhere, Sephiroth took out a pair of night vision goggles and put them on his head.
With a "drip", the dark green in front of him became clear.
"Although it is a little strange for a wizard to hold a wand and wear night vision goggles, there is no way to do it."
After getting ready, Sephiroth walked towards the depths of the secret passage, Sirius's hiding place, of course, after entering the state, Sephiroth became very careful, his footsteps did not make a sound at all, and even the sound of breathing became minimal.
"Whoo~Whoo~"
A heavy voice echoed through the secret passages, gradually becoming thicker, getting closer and closer.
Sephiroth stopped at a bend in the road, and the sound of exhalation indicated that what he was looking for was ahead.
The wand had been raised against the depths of the prepared cavern.
Scanned by night vision goggles, a huge black dog lay defenseless on the ground resting, squinting and purring.
Sirius Black.
Mentally reciting the name, Sephiroth aimed his wand at him a little.
Suddenly!
"[Avada Suo]."
Sephiroth burst into a roar, and a dark green beam shot out from the tip of the staff.
With the help of night vision goggles, Sephiroth saw the whole process clearly.
The big black dog didn't seem to react at all, and as if startled by the sudden noise, he sprang up, and was hit by the death curse, without even the slightest defense or evasion.
Hit by the Curse, Sirius's movements froze directly, and he fell down so stiffly.
"Dead?"
Seeing Sirius hit by the Requisition Curse, Sephiroth stepped around the corner. Aside from Harry Potter, at least Sephiroth doesn't know anyone who has escaped death under the Curse.
"Flame Blazing"
To be on the safe side, Sephiroth threw another fire charm at the big black dog, both to make sure Sirius was really dead, and to fight back in disguise that he was being attacked.
The flames burned, and the darkness was dispelled by the glow of the flames.
The black dog the size of a calf changed in the flames, and the dog's body began to twist into a human body, emitting a pungent burning smell in the flames.
"[Clear water is like a spring]"
It was too late to make sure that the flames really burned the corpse to ashes, and Sephiroth waved his wand and poured a clear spring on the flames, and the flames were extinguished at once.
"Hmm, it's a disgusting smell."
Sephiroth covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve, approached the charred corpse and looked down, sure enough, it was Blake, and his appearance could be vaguely seen on his burnt face.
"Oh shit, I'm dying of smoke, I almost forgot that this is an impermeable underground. [Clean up]"
The rich smell of barbecue permeated the surroundings, and the smell of burning in the unventilated tunnel could not be dissipated. But with a clean up, the pungent smell is swept away, and magic is sometimes so handy.
"What's next?"
Sephiroth rested his chin on his right hand, his left hand on the elbow of his right hand, tilted his head and thought for a moment.
"If 'this thing' were given to Dumbledore, his face would look good. It can also make the dean vent his evil anger. ”
As soon as he rolled his eyes, bad water bubbled out of Sephiroth's stomach.
It just so happens that he has been disgusted with this kind of scum for a long time, and it is not bad to be able to disgust Dumbledore and the Order of the Phoenix with his corpse.
Moreover, Sirius's grievances have not been washed away now, and perhaps Professor McGonagall will help him clear out a Gryffindor scum.
After sorting out the clues, Sephiroth was ready to move Sirius's corpse out.
"If you're lucky, there's someone else collecting your body. [Yugadim Leviosa]"
Using his wand to command Sirius's corpse to follow him, Sephiroth returned to the hallway on the fourth floor.
He cleared his throat, and then Sephiroth began to shout, "Someone! ”
In the middle of the night, this high-pitched voice traveled far and wide, and immediately alarmed all the professors who had not yet rested. The patrolling professor rushed over to this side for the first time, and it really took him less than ten seconds to appear in front of Sephiroth.
Professor McGonagall, Dumbledore, and Professor Flitwick were present.
"What's wrong?"
As soon as the man arrived, and couldn't even see what was happening, McGonagall asked in a loud voice.
But soon, she saw the corpses on the ground.
"Ahh This, this is -- what the hell, what's going on? ”
"I'm sorry, Professor, I was out on a night out late at night."
Sephiroth started with a daoqian, anyway, he was wandering out late at night, and this kind of thing happened even more seriously.
"Now isn't the time to talk about this kind of thing, tell me what's going on? Who is this person? ”
Seeing that there was a corpse at his feet, Professor McGonagall could not care about such a trivial matter as a student's night tour. How many Gryffindor students haven't done this kind of thing?
"I don't know, I just wanted to go to the library and bumped into this guy on the way. Without saying a word, the other party pounced on me and knocked me to the ground, and choked my neck so hard that if it wasn't for my quick reaction, I would have almost suffocated. ”
Sephiroth also found a reason for himself not to ask for help, our neck was choked and we couldn't make a sound, so we couldn't call for help at the first time.
Anyone who has been choked knows that when they are choked, they really can't make a sound at all.
"Minerva, come and see who this person is?"
At this time, Dumbledore, who had examined the body, beckoned to McGonagall.
"I'll take a look...... Yes! He, he seems, that vicious explode, Sirius! ”
Professor McGonagall took a closer look at the other man's face and exclaimed in surprise.
"Sure enough, it's him."
Dumbledore said in a deep voice, anger looming in his eyes.
"How did he get in?"
Flitwick asked curiously.
"Now, I'm going to ask this Mr. Stirling."
Dumbledore's eyes as he looked at Sephiroth at this time did not contain any warmth.
