"When did this happen, Filch?"

For some reason, Lupin's face darkened, and he stared into Filch's eyes.

"Two weeks ago--"

Lupin's heart sank, and this time was after Amosta had searched for the secret passage under the beating willow.

Filch's hands were twisted together, and he looked uneasy, presumably fearing that he would not be able to complete the task given by Mr. Bryan and fearing that he would be targeted, and he babbled on and on about how hard he had tried to find the parchment, but found nothing, and claimed that he had been keeping a close watch over the forbidden items seized from the students... Nowhere to be found, it was possible that some troublemaker had slipped into his office. Reading Pavilion

"It must be Peeves!"

Filch said indignantly,

"Can you help me talk to Mr. Blaine, Professor Lupin, he must have a trick up his sleeve to get that crazy ghost out of Hogwarts."

Harry and Ron unconsciously lowered their heads, feeling sympathy for Peeves, who had somehow carried the black cauldron for Fred and George, and seeing him look like a thief, Hermione breathed through her nose with a look of dissatisfaction, she looked at Professor Lupin hesitantly, as if she wanted to reveal the truth, but after a series of fierce and complicated mental struggles, she still didn't say anything.

Surprisingly, Professor Lupin did not speak to Filch, and remained suffocating in silence for such a long time that Harry whispered his name several times before he came to his senses.

"Oh, I'm fine, Harry--"

Lupin turned his head and smiled apologetically at Harry, his smile very ugly, and as he turned his head, he glanced at Lenny, who was crouching on the desk looking a little agitated.

"I'll convey that to Professor Blaine--"

Lupin nodded at Filch, he gasped for breath and suddenly asked, "Albus has already left again, right?" ”

After receiving an affirmative answer, Lupin's fist hidden in his sleeve tightened, he turned around, looked at the three Harry, and said in a rare tone that could not be refused,

"I thought about it, the origin of this broom is indeed very suspicious, Harry, since Professor Bryan is not at Hogwarts, I suggest you can take it to Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick, they are also experienced wizards, if there is a problem with the broom, they must be able to see some clues--"

Professor Lupin's words caused the three of Harry to look confused, but before they could understand, Professor Lupin pushed them from behind to Filch's side with a dark face and almost a rough movement.

"I'm sorry to escort these three children to the auditorium, Filch, hurry up--"

Even Hermione was puzzled by Lupin's reaction, but Professor Lupin didn't give them time to ask, he urged them again and again, and watched them descend the stairs in the middle of the corridor before retracting his gaze.

Call--

Remus took a deep breath, and he turned back into the room, slamming the door to his office shut.

Although he knew that Amosta had set up a complete defensive spell for his office, Remus still took out his wand and cast all the forbidden spells he had on the rusty doorknob, which could only be lifted in one case, and that was if he died...

Remus kept his head bowed in front of the door, and no one could read his expression.

Lenny on the desk could see Remus's movements clearly, he tilted his head and looked at the window, then at the fireplace, and finally, his gray eyes were on Remus in the doorway, and he sighed slightly.

The fireplace crackled and burned, and from time to time, the residual moisture in the dry wood was rapidly turned into steam by the scorching heat, and the violently opened firewood sprayed the world outside the stove with a brilliant spark, and they embraced the world with great enthusiasm, but they did not go far before they lost their light and heat, and only the ashes that had lost their souls fluttered in this office--

A deep blue light leaped across the entire office distance, and Lenny, wrapped in blue light, slowly floated in midair, followed by a dazzling flash of light, like a fast shot of a tree growing, a slightly fleshy wilted head grew, followed by a body and limbs, and a moment later, a man in an old wizard's robe, his hair messed up and wanted to entangle seaweed appeared in the office.

Remus and Sky Bluestar's eyes met in mid-air, and they looked at each other, one was a criminal who was running for his life to avoid being wanted, and the other was a werewolf who had been through vicissitudes and had finally found a temporary place to live.

Twelve years later, the once high-spirited best friends have become rotten dead wood.

There was no greeting, no angry reprimand, for a long time, Remus, whose face was pale, slowly raised his wand to Sirius, and just said flatly,

"Amosta's clothes don't fit well, Sirius--"

At this moment, all the apprehension, chagrin, and anger disappeared from Sirius's heart, and the only thing that existed was exhaustion.

"yes—it's Brian's old robes, he's a little taller than me."

Sirius nodded, his lips pursed into a wry smile, "You're still so attentive, Remus, you found out who I was with just a small flaw. ”

Remus's wand fluttered slightly, and the blood pumped into his brain by his heart still made him faint a little, but he tried to adjust his breathing to keep himself awake.

It wasn't easy, especially for him who was in the midst of a period of transformation and weakness.

"It's not what it used to be—" Remus's gaze hardened, "or I should have realized something was wrong... Luckily, I was lucky enough to realize... Yes, Mr. Filch has done me a great favor, and who knows where that map ends up but you... I mean, among the people who are still alive. ”

Sirius's body also shook a little, but this was immediately interpreted by Remus, who was highly concentrated, as wanting to resist, his attitude suddenly became tougher, and the wand in his hand stretched forward, and shouted,

"Don't move, Sirius, put your hands up and put them where I can see!"

There was no other option, for Sirius.

"Don't get excited, Remus--"

Sirius didn't raise his hand, he had a look of dismay,

"If you're willing to listen to me, Remus, I can explain it to you, though it's not my intention."

"I do want to hear your explanation, Sirius--"

Remus approached Blake step by step, he stood in the middle of the office, pointed his wand into the eyes of his former best friend, and said,

"In my opinion, let's start with what happened recently -- by the way, how did you convince Amosta Blaine to cover for you... Oh, let me think, yes, I almost forgot, you come from a noble pure-blood family... The Black family is rich, and the Golden Viper... Phew, I must admit that I looked away again, he is indeed a scum who can give up his principles for the sake of money! ”

Golden Viper... Who's that?

Sirius was a little confused in his heart, but at this time, this confusion was obviously insignificant,

"Actually, Amosta Blaine is a little more noble than you think, Remus--"

Sirius grimaced, "I did try to use Gareon to get him to let me go, but he refused!" ”

"I'm surprised--" Remus smiled harshly, the kind of smile he didn't have in his face, "and what did you end up buying him with?" ”

"Yes--"

Sirius subconsciously wanted to answer, but he immediately realized that Remus didn't understand well, so he said angrily,

"Not what you think, Remus... Don't get excited, Moon Face, either listen quietly to Ju's explanation, or write a letter to Brian and ask him to come back, he knows everything, he can prove it to me! ”

"Don't name it, Blake, you don't deserve it!"

Remus roared suddenly, and he stepped in front of Sirius in two steps, grabbed him by the collar and pressed his wand against Sirius's forehead,

"You want to get Brian back!

Well? For what?

Ah, by the way, you know he's awesome, you know I'm no match for him, and you want him to kill me, right, Blake! ”
