Everyone gasped when they heard Peeves' words. Sirius Black broke into the castle and even tried to enter the Gryffindor common room.
It was horrible, thankfully it was Halloween and no one was in the tower.
Professor Dumbledore asked all the students to return to the auditorium immediately. In order to ensure safety, the teachers will conduct a thorough search of the castle. Ai Wen hurried downstairs with the others, and everyone discussed in low voices what had just happened.
"Did you say Black was still in the castle?" Hermione whispered anxiously.
"From Dumbledore's point of view, he obviously thinks so," Ron replied in a low voice. "If I say it, we are very lucky that he chose to come tonight."
"Yes!" Colin nodded uneasily. He looked around nervously, as if Sirius Black was hiding in a corner, ready to pounce at any time.
"I guess he's just messed up because he's been on the run and it's Hallowe'en or he wouldn't have broken in."
Ron's words were agreed by everyone. Besides, everyone was asking each other the same question: How did he get in
"Maybe he knows how to stealth?!"
"This is impossible. As long as you have read the book "A Piece of Hogwarts School History", you will know that this castle is not only protected by walls." Hermione said quickly, "The castle was also protected by various Magic, in case outsiders sneak in. Stealth is not. Also, I'd like to see what kind of disguise can fool those dementors. These guys guard every entrance, and if he flies in Well, they'll see too. Filch knows all the secret passages, and they'll seal them up!"
"Who knows, after all, it's Sirius Black, a dark wizard who is second only to You-Know-Who." Ron wrinkled his nose uneasily, staring at the girls' bathroom at the end of the corridor on the third floor. He remembered last semester. Nightmare experience.
Hearing that he mentioned Voldemort, the crowd was silent for three seconds, no one spoke, and everyone walked through the dark corridor on the third floor in silence.
Harry followed Ron pale, with no trace of blood on his face, Black must have broken into the castle to kill him, this feeling is really bad enough.
"Let's be happy, no matter what trick Black uses to sneak into the castle, he will definitely be discovered by Dumbledore, what do you think, Ivan?"
"Maybe!" Ivan said perfunctorily.
He stared blankly at the narrow window on the left side of the corridor, and his eyes fell on the lawn outside the castle, where there was a huge black dog covered in shaggy hair, it was Sirius Black! Not far from Blake, Ginger Crookshanks are sneaking across the lawn.
As if sensing something, Black suddenly turned his head and looked in this direction.
In the next second, following Ivan's gaze, Harry also saw two creatures on the lawn. He rushed to the window and widened his eyes.
"Look outside, do you see something, that big black dog?"
"Harry, you won't see the ominous again, will you?!" Ron leaned over anxiously, and he muttered vaguely, "It seems to be that damn cat!"
"You mean Crookshanks!" Hermione also approached, and said worriedly, "What are Crookshanks doing outside the castle? Black may still be in the school."
"Please, Hermione, Black won't kill a cat, he came into the castle to..." Ron stopped abruptly, looking at Harry nervously.
Harry didn't seem to understand what he meant, he said eagerly, "That dog, it was beside Crookshanks just now, didn't any of you see it?"
"It's so dark outside, you may have misread it, maybe it's just a big tree or a rock or something." Ron swallowed, and he saw other people staring at them.
"Impossible, Ivan, did you see it too?!"
Ivan didn't reply, he secretly calculated the distance from here to the lawn outside.
As long as his speed is fast enough, there is still time to go down from here, maybe this is a good opportunity to get in touch with the other party.
"You guys go first, I'll go to the toilet!" Ai Wen said hurriedly.
Under the surprised gazes of the others, he turned and walked into another corridor, running towards the gate of the castle.
When he was sure no one was around, he whispered, "Animagus!"
As soon as the words fell, Ivan's body quickly turned into a black cat. He passed through the deep marble hall at the fastest speed, and slipped out of the castle without a sound.
The cold wind of the night hit his face, and Ai Wen shivered.
Hogwarts Castle looked particularly gloomy tonight. Against the backdrop of the dim moonlight, the strangely shaped statues on the grounds revealed a bit of spookiness. A few bats slid past the low sky, and owls could be heard from time to time.
Dementors loomed around the far wall, where the land was barren, and all plants were gradually withering and dying.
It was impossible for Black to walk in the direction of the wall. Ivan hurriedly turned his head and looked towards the Forbidden Forest. Through the moonlight, he saw the big dog that Black turned into and Crookshanks disappearing in the huge shadow of the Forbidden Forest. Wen hurriedly chased after him.
Just entering the shadows, a figure suddenly jumped out from behind a tree.
It was a surprise attack! ! !
Ivan felt the hot breath coming from the opposite side, and he raised his head to see the big dog that Sirius Black had turned into, baring its one-inch-long teeth and rushing towards him viciously. With a bang, Blake threw himself on top of him with a powerful impact.
Ivan fell down, his body rolled backwards on the lawn, and didn't stop until he hit a big tree.
He was dazzled and felt as if his ribs were broken.
He wanted to stand up, but Black didn't give him the chance. He bared his fangs, stared at Ivan viciously, howled softly, and rushed forward again.
Seeing the huge figure getting closer, Aiwen hurriedly released the Animagus' transformation, and while his body returned to its original shape, he pulled out the magic wand around his waist with his right hand.
A red light flashed from the tip of the staff, hitting Sirius Black.
Black flew upside down and landed in a bush, wailing in pain.
"That's enough, don't try to attack me anymore, or it won't be an impediment spell next time!" Ivan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and struggled to stand up while holding the tree trunk with his left hand.
He was panting heavily, and Black on the opposite side was also panting heavily.
For three full seconds, neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was terribly solemn.
Ivan saw Blake's eyes flashing crazy light from time to time in the darkness, staring closely at the wand in his hand. Muscles all over his body were tense, and he bared his fangs in an attacking posture, like a ferocious beast that chooses to devour people.
"Listen, I don't mean anything malicious, I know who you are and why you are here!" Ivan pointed at Black carefully with his wand, "I just want to talk to you about my friend Harry and Ron..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a rush of footsteps from far to near.
Ivan turned his head hastily and saw a burst of dazzling light. He squinted his eyes and adjusted for a while before he could clearly see that it was Professor Lupine.
"Professor Lupine?!"
"It turned out to be you, Ivan! I heard the sound when I was checking the owl room. What happened here? Why are you outside the castle?" Lupine looked at Ivan in surprise, and said in a concerned tone, "Little Sirius Black has just broken into the castle, it is very dangerous here, Dumbledore asked all the students to gather in the auditorium."
"me... ... "
Ivan didn't know how to answer, should he tell the other party that he came out to have a pleasant meeting with Black.
Although Lupine was close friends with Sirius Black when he was a student, will he believe that Black was wronged when everything is not revealed? !
Ivan shook his head. Without any real evidence, with Lupine's personality, even if he believed that Black was innocent, the first thing he would do would be to tie up his former best friend and send him to see Dumbledore.
Then, they're going after Peter Pettigrew.
If all goes well, well said! If Peter is allowed to escape, I am afraid that Blake will be sent to the dementor before tomorrow, and what awaits him is a kiss.
This was so bad, Ivan hesitated and decided to hide the truth.
