Chapter 389: Revenge
It was a coincidence that when Fish was running wildly in the castle with the Marauder's Map, Snape, who was on patrol tonight, saw him passing by.
But like everyone else, Snape didn't take it seriously at the time.
There was no way. Fish had done similar things too many times and it didn't attract anyone else's attention at all, so Snape just stood aside and watched the kitten jump down the stairs silently, and then continued his patrol.
"Bang!"
However, before Snape walked far, a suit of armor next to him seemed to be touched by something, making a crisp sound.
Snape turned his head and didn't see anyone else, but the arm of a suit of armor by the wall was a little crooked.
"Peeves?" Snape asked in the direction of the armor.
Snape knew that Harry had an invisibility cloak passed down from the Potter family, but he didn't think of Harry at this time. After all, compared with Peeves, who liked to make trouble everywhere, Harry's presence was still a little lower.
As for Sirius Black, Snape thought that it was even more impossible.
If he was so easily detected, how could he not be caught until now?
Besides, Black's "helper" had just transformed yesterday and was in a weak period. There was no reason for him to sneak in at this time.
Snape's sharp eyes swept over the armor that made the sound, and then strode over.
Harry held his breath under the invisibility cloak, not daring to make any sound.
Snape did not get a response from Peeves, nor did he continue to ask, but reached out to straighten the arm of the armor that Harry had touched crooked.
Watching Snape's pale and skinny palm sweep over his head, Harry's face turned red from holding his breath.
Fortunately, Snape turned around and left after straightening the armor, otherwise Harry really didn't know how long he would have to hold his breath.
Harry, who had been feeling dizzy for a long time, waited until Snape's figure disappeared around the corner, and then he opened his mouth and breathed in fresh air.
After he had completely recovered his breath, Harry continued to walk downstairs carefully.
On the other side, Snape continued his patrol work, and soon met Filch, the janitor who was also on patrol.
"Good evening, professor." Filch greeted Snape flatteringly.
Because he was also unpopular with students and punished other students very strictly, Filch had a good impression of Snape, and because of Fish, Snape's attitude towards Filch was not bad. Usually, the two of them could exchange a few simple pleasantries when they met.
"Yeah."
However, Snape didn't seem to have any desire to talk today, and just nodded indifferently as a response.
Filch, who knew his character, did not take this cold response to heart, but complained to Snape casually: "We must take care of Peeves. Black is watching secretly, but he still makes trouble everywhere. I just drove him out of the cellar."
"What did you say?!"
Snape, who was absent-minded, suddenly grabbed Filch's shoulder.
"I, I mean... I just drove Peeves out of the cellar..."
Filch was frightened by Snape's excited reaction, and answered stutteringly, his face twitching slightly because of the pain from his shoulder.
"How long has he been in the cellar?"
Snape ignored Filch's discomfort, but continued to increase the strength of his hands and asked quickly.
Seeing the other party's urgent look, Filch also knew that something big might have happened. He quickly replied: "At least an hour, a quarter of the mead in the cellar has been replaced by vinegar."
"Damn it!"
Snape cursed in a low voice, and then ran out of the castle quickly.
Because he suddenly remembered one thing-Peeves dared not appear near Fish, so the voice just now should be a Gryffindor student who inherited his father's invisible cloak and arrogant personality!
Although Snape didn't know why Harry sneaked out of the dormitory at this time, he subconsciously felt that it was related to the kitten who was running just now.
After all...
Fish was nearby at the time, with his hearing and sense of smell, it was impossible for him not to notice Harry's existence.
And even if it had nothing to do with Fish, Snape could let the cat use his sensitive sense of smell and hearing to find Harry Potter who sneaked out.
As for the invisible man, it might be Black or other ghosts...
The probability is too low, Snape will not consider it for the time being.
Harry, who had sneaked out of the castle using the invisibility cloak, took off the invisibility cloak that hindered his movement after walking a little further away, and ran towards the Whomping Willow at a faster pace.
Compared with going to seek revenge on Sirius as soon as possible, the possible danger of exposing his whereabouts seemed insignificant to Harry.
However, the result of his doing so was that he was caught by Snape who came behind him. However, Snape was curious about the reason why Harry and Fish ran out, so he did not stop Harry at first, but followed him with the Disillusionment Charm.
Until they came to the Whomping Willow and saw Sirius Black hanging on it.
Although Black hanging from the tree was much fatter than the one on the wanted poster, and his face was covered in blood, Harry and Snape recognized him at a glance.
"Blake!"
Harry held his wand and growled through gritted teeth.
"Blake!"
The same sound of gnashing teeth sounded behind Harry, startling him.
Harry turned around just in time to see Snape lift the Disillusionment Curse and emerge from the air.
"Snape!" Harry exclaimed.
"Ten points from Gryffindor, remember to call me professor." Snape glanced at Harry lightly, then returned his gaze to Sirius, and murmured excitedly: "I knew it! I Just know it! It must be Lupin! Humph! Dumbledore still thinks he is a docile werewolf..."
Snape was trembling with excitement at the thought of being able to send two of his students' enemies to Azkaban together. He opened his mouth, revealing his white teeth, and a happy smile appeared on his face.
But Snape quickly calmed down. He looked around, then frowned and looked at Harry: "Where's Fish?"
"Fish, you should be going to the Shrieking Shack to catch Lupine."
Harry hesitated for a moment and answered honestly, but he did not tell about the secret passage and the Marauder's Map.
Snape snorted and ignored Harry. Instead, he picked up a long dead branch nearby and walked towards the Whomping Willow.
Just like before, he used dead branches to touch the knots to quiet the Whomping Willow. Snape came to the trunk of the Whomping Willow. He did not immediately get into the tunnel, but reached out to lower the hanging Black. …
Then he was knocked away by the Whomping Willow.
The knot is not the Whomping Willow's weakness, it is more like a switch or signal, letting the Whomping Willow know that it is one of its own.
However, Fish's order had a higher priority than Knobs, so when Snape wanted to touch Sirius, whom the cat asked him to take care of, the Whomping Willow would naturally not agree.
Snape covered his side where he had been slapped, and climbed up from the ground with a grin on his face, not daring to go near the crazy tree again.
Harry, who was watching all this, grinned silently.
Sirius Black was arrested and Snape was beaten...
I am so happy today!
As for being deducted points and being imprisoned after being caught by Snape...
Are Gryffindor students still afraid of this?
Just when Snape was hesitant to try again, a figure suddenly flew out of the tunnel, it was Remus Lupine who was beaten black and blue by Fish.
Immediately afterwards, a certain little fur cat jumped out with a proud look on his face...
"Severus? Why are you here too?!"
