Lupin is the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor appointed by Albus himself, and I think he should be trusted..."Professor McGonagall frowned, disagreeing with Snape's approach to keeping Lupin in custody.

"Not necessarily, Lockhart and Chino were also appointed by Dumbledore himself, and it's not the first time he's looked away..."Snape raised an eyebrow and reminded everyone of how incompetent the two Defence Against the Dark Arts professors were.

Snape's words left McGonagall at a loss as to how to refute them, and the rest of the professors hesitated.

I have to say that Snape's analysis is still very reasonable, all signs indicate that there is a person in the castle who is helping Sirius-Black, and Lupin, who was originally Black's friend, is the most suspicious!

Lupin was keenly aware of the gaze of the crowd, and he wanted to defend himself, but finally sighed, knowing that no matter what he said, he could not clear his suspicions.

"I believe Professor Lupin didn't do that!" Harry suddenly said loudly.

Everyone turned their heads to look at him in surprise, but Harry repeated it again, willing to believe that Lupin had not helped Sirius.

"Potter! You'd better think before you speak! We're all busy for your safety," Snape said with a dark face.

"You said it was for my safety, right?" Harry interrupted Snape's words directly, "Then I'm willing to believe Professor Lupin, so you can't lock him up!" ”

Snape trembled with rage, and he was about to rebuke Harry, but the rest of the Gryffindor wizards were encouraged by Harry and cheered him up.

"That's right! I don't think Professor Lupin would do that! ”

"I'd like to believe Professor Lupin!"

"So do we!"

......

"Thank you, thank you!" Lupin looked at the students in front of him who were willing to believe in themselves and stand up to speak for themselves, and he was very moved for a while.

Ivan was no longer silent, he knew very well that Sirius had nothing to do with Lupin, and of course he couldn't let him carry the blame, so he opened his mouth and said to McGonagall.

"Professor McGonagall, we can't make a conclusion without evidence, Gryffindor's password is clear to every student, so it may not have been given to Blake by Professor Lupin...

As for why Blake was able to get a wand..."

Do you need to ask? Of course I gave it to him!

Ivan silently complained in his heart, but on the surface he remained silent and continued to analyze. "I think it's been a while since Blake escaped from Azkaban, maybe he got it from some wizard from the outside..."

"I suppose Professor Lupin didn't lose your wand, did you?" Ivan looked at Lupin, who nodded and pulled his wand out.

It was a cherry wand about twelve inches long, orange-yellow on the top half, black-brown on the bottom, straight on the bottom, and oval in shape...

After seeing this wand, the fat lady shook her head, saying that what she had seen Bright holding in his hand before was not this wand, but a wand with a slightly curved chassis, which was easy to identify...

Ivan then asked all the little wizards to take out their wands, make sure that everyone's wands were not missing, and let the fat lady identify them one by one.

After the fat lady shook her head one last time, Snape spoke impatiently. "That doesn't mean anything! Maybe Lupin accidentally got the second wand somewhere and gave him to Black, otherwise how would he explain the note? ”

"You wouldn't be tempted to say which Gryffindor cadet wanted to kill Potter and handed Blake a note, right?" Snape sneered.

However, at this moment, a faint voice suddenly came from the crowd.

"Yes.. It's me, that note could be mine, Professor! ”

Everyone turned their heads to look over, and they saw Neville trembling and slowly raising his hand, as if he was ready to cry at any moment.

"Mr. Neville Longbottom—" Snape looked at Neville in disbelief, his eyes narrowing, "You just said you gave the note to Black?" ”

McGonagall and the others looked at Neville with a look of astonishment in their eyes, no one dared to believe that Neville, who was usually as timid as a bag, would dare to do such a thing!

Harry was also very strange that Neville would help Blake? Why? He remembered that he hadn't offended Neville, and when Black slipped into the dorm room and was found, Neville was still the loudest screamer....

"No.. Not so... It's—" Poor Neville stammered and couldn't speak, under the watchful eye of everyone...

"That note must have been left behind by accident, right?" Ivan reluctantly explained that he had guessed this when he heard the fat lady say that Blake had a note when he entered the bedroom.

Because in the original plane, it was Crookshank Hill who took Neville's note, causing Sirius to get the password smoothly.

"Yes... Right! Poor Neville nodded quickly, indicating that he had just accidentally left it behind, as Ivan had said.

It dawned on the young wizards that Neville's poor memory had long been known, so they didn't suspect anything...

Snape's face was very ugly, and his plan to imprison Lupin would be ruined, so Snape could only vent his anger on Neville's body and speak with a dark face.

"Mr. Longbottom! Just because of your mistake, Blake almost got it! All of us have to gather here late at night to deal with this, you must think it's funny, right? ”

"Gryffindor deducted fifty points!" Snape handed down the verdict without mercy.

Neville's body shook and he almost cried, he saw that the Gryffindor points pool this morning was only sixty or seventy points in total...

Professor McGonagall shook her head at this scene and said nothing, although Neville was not entirely to blame for Sirius's infiltration into the dormitory, but after all, he was partly responsible, and it was not too much to deduct fifty points for a warning.

After Lupin's suspicion was temporarily lifted, all the professors searched the entire castle as planned.

Three of the deans have a heavier task and are also responsible for informing students from other colleges to the auditorium.

McGonagall was taking the students to the Great Hall, and the search was likely to take the whole night, so they had to rest there today.

What puzzled Ivan was that after such a long time, Dumbledore, as the headmaster, was nowhere to be seen...
