Who secretly came to this community? What are they here for
The answers to these two questions are naturally difficult to guess. After all, those figures do not look like the most troublesome "living corpses" at present - they are living humans, no doubt.
However, it may be difficult to guess the purpose of coming here that is too specific, but coming here at this time of year, and looking at it with some "malicious intentions", both Minerva and Sirius obviously have deep feelings in their hearts. Everyone has their own concerns.
Because the drama caused by the German Brandt family in the federation headquarters building was too typical. Now that the farce has not passed for too long, anyone who knows it will have some understanding of such incidents. Be mentally prepared, not to mention that Minerva was already familiar with Madame Maxime, the person involved in that incident.
And since there are people who dare to try to take refuge in Haierbo and try to do things that endanger the magic world and the whole of Europe, it is not difficult to imagine that there are still people who want to use the shadow of this disaster to benefit from the chaos. .
So... yes, now Minerva McGonagall actually thinks that those unidentified infiltrators may be just a few dark wizards who want to cause trouble secretly. It is naturally not easy to deal with such people, but it may not be really difficult - powerful dark wizards like Voldemort or Grindelwald are only a minority after all.
Therefore, although Minerva seemed a little anxious about Colin's fainting this time, it was just a rush based on concern for the student's injury. When she actually dealt with the incident of outsiders sneaking into the community, she actually wasn't that nervous at all.
This is actually quite obvious - Minerva has experienced the rise and fall of the Dark Lord twice in her life, and now there is an ancient wizard Herbo in front of her, making the whole of Europe breathless. The few sneaky people who sneaked into the community were not enough to make her panic.
However, Sirius, who had not spoken much since the incident, had a slightly different view of those people than Minerva...
"Then I'll go out and take a look at the situation first."
Watching Professor McGonagall leave the ward in a hurry, Sirius paused for a moment, then quickly said hello to Madam Pomfrey, who was looking after Colin, and walked out of the room.
"This kid... is still as restless as before, and gets excited when things like this happen..."
Hearing Madam Pomfrey's muttering faintly from the ward behind him, Sirius, who was standing at the door, couldn't help but curl his lips, showing a slightly nostalgic look.
When he was a student at Hogwarts, Madam Pomfrey was already the school nurse, and Sirius, who was already restless at that time, was also a frequent visitor to the school hospital ward.
It was obvious that Madam Pomfrey was already such a sharp-tongued person, but now that she meets her, it turns out that she has not changed over the years.
It's a pity that he, Sirius Black, is no longer the same person he used to be.
Putting aside the feelings that arose in his mind for the time being, Sirius shook his head, and then ignored the few wizards in front of him who were guarding the door of the ward and looking at him curiously, and turned to the apartment. Go outside.
As he walked, an idea that he had been thinking about in the ward came to mind again -
"What does this matter...have to do with 'him'?"
With this thought in mind, Sirius, who had already walked out of the apartment door, glanced left and right and found that there was no one nearby, and immediately dodged into the shadow of the tree next to him. A few seconds later, a black dog took its place, disappearing in the corner of the wall on the other side of the trees, turning to the other side of the apartment building and disappearing.
…
Finding a few sneaky wizards in a small Muggle community is definitely what Sirius is best at, no doubt about it. But this time, he didn't use his Animagus transformation to run around looking for the guys who hurt Colin. Instead, he turned left and right in the community and returned to where he was before. Near the small building where you talked to Professor McGonagall.
Then, after sniffing around at the door of the small building, Sirius, who seemed to have found something, started trotting along the street in a certain direction.
Yes, Snape was right about one thing before. After he transformed into a black dog, Sirius was really good at using the canine's keen sense of smell to find things... Of course, the same goes for finding people.
After he wandered around the community for a while, seemingly blind but always looking confidently, Sirius slowly slowed down in front of an alley that was already close to the boundary of the community. In the end, he even Completely stopped.
I saw Sirius in Animagus form leaning against the wall at the entrance of the deserted alley, cautiously peeking in, and after making sure that no one was there, he dove into the junk piled in the alley. , not even a single sound was made from beginning to end.
Not long after, Sirius, who was sniffing and touching through various sundries in the alley, finally got some of the feedback he was expecting under a certain window.
"Here?"
He regained his human body under the window sill and was currently raising his wrist to look at a black tattoo on his wrist. It can be seen that the chain tattoo that seems to hang down from the arm to the wrist is twisting slightly as if it has come to life, and the end has quietly tilted to one side.
That's right, it refers to the room inside the window next to it!
Sirius, who was squatting under the window sill, rubbed his wrists where the skin was a little tight due to the activation of the tattoo. He narrowed his eyes slightly and calmly glanced at the moss-covered brick wall next to him.
The tattoos on his body are basically derived from the study of name magic - he, James and Remus were all good at this kind of thing back then, so they were able to work together to create an ingenious and practical Marauder's Map. .
At this time, his tattoo reacted, which meant... the person he was looking for was probably in the house next to him! Because there is a reaction to the magic spell cast by someone here.
"Is it a silencing spell?"
Although it is impossible to determine the specific curse based on his tattoo, based on his many years of experience, it is not difficult to come to this conclusion.
"What is that Snotlout guy talking to in there?" Sirius curled his lips and thought to himself.
