Chapter 184: Hindsight
Dumbledore soon arrived, and after viewing the scene, he said to Professor McGonagall and Snape, "We need to find the fat lady." Minerva, you go to Filch and ask her to search the portrait of the castle and find her. ”
"I know where she is!" Peeves jumped out.
Dumbledore thought Peeves wanted reason, and his tone was gentle, but with a hint of unkindness, he asked, "What did you say?" Peeves. ”
Peeves didn't dare to provoke Dumbledore, and said in an almost flattering tone: "The fat lady is scared, hiding in the landscape painting on the fifth floor, crying sadly. ”
"Did she say who did it?" Dumbledore's tone was much calmer, Peeves didn't make trouble, and he gave useful information.
"Yes, Headmaster." Pieves was proud, waiting for this, he was going to put a bombshell, a news that blew everyone up, and grinned: "The fat lady won't let him in, he is very angry and tears the canvas, who is he?" He was Sirius Black. ”
Hearing Pippi's words, there was a commotion in the hallway, and Sirius Black was described by the Daily Prophet as a vicious gangster, and everyone panicked when such a person appeared in the school.
"Quiet." Dumbledore glared at Peeves and said loudly. "All go to the auditorium."
Ten minutes later, in the auditorium hall, all the students of the academy were gathered.
Dumbledore announced, "The professors and I are going to conduct a full search of the castle. For your safety, I'm afraid you'll have to spend the night here. The prefect guards the entrance, and the student council president is in charge of management. He turned to Percy and said, "Report to me immediately if you have any situation." Send ghosts to deliver messages. ”
Dumbledore was leaving, and he remembered something.
"Oh, yes. You need these. He waved his wand lightly, piled up the tables, chairs and benches against the wall, and with a flick of it, a large sleeping bag appeared. Sleep well. With that, he closed the door to the auditorium. Leave with the professors.
There was chaos in the auditorium, with the young wizard asking everywhere for some reason, and the Gryffindor students spreading the news of Blake.
When Malfoy heard this, he shouted, "Potter, aren't you going to look for him?" ”
Ron exclaimed, "Shut up, Malfoy. Do you want to fight? ”
The Slytherin students were very united, and when they heard Ron's words, a few people stood up next to Malfoy. Seamus and Neville saw this and stood by Ron's side to cheer him on.
Percy yelled, "What are you doing, go into your sleeping bag, and turn off the lights in ten minutes." ”
The two sides dispersed, and Ron dragged the three sleeping bags to the wall, and he looked at Hermione with anticipation in his eyes. Hermione glanced at the Knicks and left with Ron embarrassed.
The Knicks also dragged three sleeping bags, with Tifa and Luna following him.
"Brother, is that Blake still in the castle?"
Knicks put down his sleeping bag and said, "Don't worry, he's long gone, and he's not coming to us." ”
"He's here to deal with Harry?" Tifa asked.
Knicks shook his head. "I don't know, let's go to sleep."
Tifa slipped into her sleeping bag and asked, "But brother, if we're in the Gryffindor common room today, will we—"
"No, it won't." Nix replied in the affirmative.
The surrounding classmates began to discuss. "How did Blake get in?" "Still in the castle?" "If it weren't for the Halloween dinner, would Blake have gone on a killing spree?"
Some suspect that Blake came in by apparition, some suspect that he flew in, and some suspect that he came in through a secret passage.
"Brother, they're so stupid, didn't they know that it was written in Hogwarts: A History of the School that castles can't be entered using shapeshifting?" Tifa has been in the library for a long time, and she has read the books Hermione has read.
"Well, got it. Lie down, it's time to turn off the lights. Nix took a pillow out of the lady's pouch and gave it to the two little girls.
Tifa and Luna were pillowing a pillow, their two small faces pressed together, looking at Knicks with big eyes, and complaining, "Brother, are there still pillows?" It's inconvenient. ”
"Just one."
"Can we sleep in a sleeping bag, then? I want to hug Luna. ”
"I'm not afraid of crowding, just sleep together."
"That's it."
Percy yelled, "Now turn off the lights." Don't even talk. ”
The auditorium was quiet, but there were still whispers, and many people couldn't sleep worried about Blake's attack. Percy reprimanded the classmate who was still talking.
An hour later, Dumbledore returned and asked Percy, "Are you alright?" ”
"Everything is fine, Headmaster."
The door to the Great Hall was opened again, and Snape returned: "I've searched him, but I haven't found him." ”
Dumbledore nodded, "As I thought, he won't stay in the castle." ”
Snape asked, "Headmaster, have you ever wondered how he got in?" ”
"Many ways, Severus, but each one is unlikely."
"Headmaster, do you remember that conversation?" Snape didn't want Percy to understand, and said vaguely, "It's just before school starts." ”
"Remember, Severus."
"Blake can't get into the castle without reinforcements, when you decide to let -"
Dumbledore interrupted him, "I'm sure there won't be anyone in the castle helping Voldemort. He couldn't continue the conversation with Snape, saying, "I'll go look for the Dementors, and I've promised to let them know when they're done." ”
"Don't they want to come in and help? Headmaster. Percy asked.
"Of course I want to come in." Dumbledore said coldly, "As long as I'm the headmaster, they won't want to set foot in the school." ”
Dumbledore leaves the Great Hall. Snape looked at the door and pondered for a moment before leaving.
Ron on the other side whispered, "What the hell is going on?" ”
Nicks also heard the conversation, and Harry and Ron might have felt confused because of the lack of information, but Nicks understood something.
Snape was wary of Lupin, not just because he was a werewolf, but also because of Lupin's relationship with Sirius Black. He felt that Lupin would help Blake enter the castle.
The Knicks were also suspicious of Lupin, but couldn't figure it out either.
Lupin must have known that Black's Animagus was a black dog, and if Lupin had gone to Hogsmeade, he might have found Blake.
But he had tea with himself and Harry during the day, and the rest of the time was not enough to go to Hogsmeade, and he had to meet Blake, who happened not to do anything with Blake, and was persuaded by Blake to discuss the plan again, and there was not enough time at all. One of the rings went wrong, and Lupin couldn't help Blake enter the castle.
In my memory, under the beating willow, Lupin and Blake hated each other when they met, which made people suspect that they had been connected for a long time.
Thinking of Blake dragging Ron into the beating willow, the Knicks suddenly understood why Harry would help Black attack Snape.
Everyone said that Blake had escaped from prison for Harry's sake, but he dragged Ron into the beating willow, and Harry must have understood that Blake was not here to attack him, so he helped Blake knock Snape unconscious.
