Chapter 232 Hogwarts Dormitory! Lupin Disappears!
The main hall of Hogwarts Castle.
The long tables that were originally placed have disappeared, replaced by mattresses spread on the ground.
The four major colleges are neatly divided into four sections.
Several deans take turns patrolling the hall, always on guard.
The professors cooperate with the Aurors sent by the Ministry of Magic to conduct a more detailed search in Hogwarts and Hogsmeade Village.
They are afraid that Sirius is hiding in some unknown corner.
"The heads of each grade will arrange the students of this grade, with the seniors outside and the juniors inside."
"Try to ensure the safety of the junior students."
"Yes! Head!"
After arranging the tasks with the heads of each grade, Argus took the initiative to come to the position closest to the door of Slytherin.
Professor McGonagall, standing on the high platform of the professor's seat, saw Argus's actions and a touch of appreciation flashed in her eyes.
As the leader of the college, he can stand in the most dangerous position at the most dangerous time.
This courage is what Gryffindor admires the most.
Thinking of this, Professor McGonagall sighed again.
If only Argus had been sorted into Gryffindor, she would have saved herself a lot of worry.
After about half an hour, the candles in the hall went out quietly, and the whole hall fell into darkness.
The excitement of being able to sleep with the entire college also dissipated among many young wizards.
Hugging her quilt tightly, she curled up in it.
Late at night.
"I searched the astronomy tower and the owl house, but found nothing!"
Filch walked in with a lamp and reported to Dumbledore.
Snape followed closely behind: "The fourth floor has been searched!"
"And the cellar, there is no trace of Black."
"Nowhere else in the castle."
"Too many young wizards are out of Hogwarts today, and we can't guarantee that he will not take this opportunity to sneak in."
Dumbledore's voice was a little heavy.
In the past two school years, Hogwarts has had a lot of things happen that are a bit surprising. If Sirius really breaks in, he, the headmaster, will probably be scolded again.
"He's really amazing. He was able to escape from Azkaban and now he almost sneaked into Hogwarts Castle alone."
Snape sneered.
Dumbledore paused.
"Severus, have you ever thought that he had already come to Hogsmeade and was about to sneak into Hogwarts."
"Why was he suddenly exposed?"
"How did he come to Hogsmeade village without anyone noticing?"
Snape sneered: "With his brain comparable to that of a troll, it's not surprising that he did anything."
"Being locked up in Azkaban for so long, it's a little abnormal, but also normal."
"As for the method of coming here..." Snape thought about it seriously and shook his head.
He looked up at Dumbledore.
"You may remember..."
"Before the start of this semester, I had some opinions on the professors you hired."
Snape's words almost meant that Lupin helped Sirius.
It's just that because there are too many little wizards around, it's not easy to directly point out Lupin's name.
Dumbledore understood what he said, and before he could continue, he interrupted him.
"No professor would help Sirius hide, let alone help him enter the castle!"
"I believe that Hogwarts Castle is safe!"
"It won't be long before students can return to the dormitory."
"What about Potter? Should I remind him?" Snape asked.
"Let him sleep first, and we'll talk later."
The two talked and walked, not noticing that Harry's eyelids were twitching under their feet.
In the original book, Lupin had talked to Harry about Harry's parents more than once at this time, and while gaining Harry's trust, he also ignited Harry's curiosity about his parents.
Although Lupin on the train had no chance to talk now, when everyone went to Hogsmeade Village, he was busy saving Sirius.
Compared with the depth of communication in the original book, it was not a little bit worse.
But at least they talked a little, so that Harry would not continue to be confused.
It also let Harry know that he was not without elders in the magic world.
…
Time flies, and half a month has passed.
Sirius knew that he had caused trouble, so he hid in the Shrieking Shack and didn't dare to go out.
Especially after discovering the traces of the Dementors, he didn't even dare to remove the Animagus.
After a period of inspection, the professors and Aurors of Hogwarts still didn't find any trace of Sirius.
In desperation, they chose to give up temporarily.
During this period, Lupin talked to Harry several times about Harry's parents.
In Harry's mind, the image of his parents gradually became complete.
The degree of dependence on Lupin also gradually deepened.
During this period, Argus was not in a hurry to arrest Peter Pettigrew.
Peter's role is not just to find Sirius to exchange the Black family collection and resurrect Voldemort.
If used well, Allen's reputation in the Ministry of Magic can be raised to an unattainable level.
The last Barty Crouch incident has given Allen the power of deputy director. If it goes one step further, the British Ministry of Magic will really be infiltrated by the saints.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Lupin did not show up in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, but Snape walked in with a gloomy face.
He waved his wand and closed the surrounding windows while walking.
He pulled down the curtain, as if this class was his Potions class.
"Turn your textbooks to page 394!"
Draco, Goyle and Crabbe subconsciously wanted to take out the Potions textbook from their backpacks, but were stopped by Argus.
Under the puzzled eyes of several people, they were asked to open page 394 of the Defense Against the Dark Arts textbook.
Argus remembered that these two days were the nights of the full moon, and knew that Lupin should be in the transformation period and the weak period after the transformation.
Even with the wolfsbane potion prepared by Snape, at most Lupin could retain consciousness after the transformation.
It could not prevent him from transforming.
Lupin still had some sense of responsibility and did not continue to bluff in class when the moon was full.
He probably knew that he was not in good condition. If he hurt the students, even Dumbledore could not save him.
Some people in the classroom wanted to mutter, but as soon as they opened their mouths, they saw Snape's cold eyes on the podium.
They immediately shrank back and opened the book honestly.
Only Harry was stubborn!
"Excuse me, Professor, where is Professor Lupin?"
"You worry too much, Potter!" Snape said sarcastically.
"Your professor is unwell and can't teach... at least, that's the case now!"
"Now, turn to page 394!"
Snape opened his "PPT". When he saw the content on page 394, many students raised puzzled questions.
"Werewolf? We haven't learned here yet, have we?"
"Yes, we just finished learning red hats and hinky punk. It will take a long time to learn here!"
"Yes, at least several weeks!"
"Silence!" Snape ignored it and continued to lecture!
"Who can tell me the difference between werewolves and animagus!"
