Harry's mind was a little confused. The conversation between Dumbledore and Snape brought him too many doubts.
What is the relationship between Professor Lupin and Black?
Why did Snape give Professor Lupin a potion?
After thinking for a long time, Harry also had no clue and could only go to sleep with these questions.
For the next few days, although the professors did not let the students sleep in the Great Hall, they let the Prefects strengthen their control over everyone.
There is no permission to enter or leave the castle at will, and every time goes to class, there will be a Prefect escort.
The Fat Lady's portrait had also been taken down from the wall, and in his place was Sir Cadogan, who seemed so excited that he changed his password twice a day.
Neville was the biggest victim of this incident. He couldn't remember the frequently changed passwords.
Thankfully, the school didn't cancel this weekend's trip to Hogsmeade, so many were relieved.
Alvin took Cho and Hermione to Hogsmeade, and before leaving, he gave Harry a look.
"Did you help Harry go to Hogsmeade?"
On the way to Hogsmeade, Cho keenly observed Alvin and Harry's interaction.
Alvin didn't mean to hide and nodded as a matter of course, "Yeah, Harry inflated his aunt, so he can't go to Hogsmeade in a normal way."
"So I asked him to find George and Fred for help."
"But Black's target is Harry, and it's dangerous to let him do that."
Cho didn't understand. Everyone in the magic world thinks Black's goal is Harry, but why does Alvin do this? Wasn't he worried about Harry's safety?
"Cho, sometimes things can't be seen on the surface. If Black's target is Harry, then why didn't he escape from prison when Harry entered first grade?"
Cho was speechless when asked by Alvin.
At this time, Hermione interjected. "Maybe he had thought of a way to escape prison years before, or he had only found out about Harry this year."
Cho nodded, agreeing with Hermione's statement.
Alvin had to admire Hermione's intellect. She almost guessed half of the truth at once.
It's just that Black didn't get news about Harry but about the traitor Peter Pettigrew.
"The longer prisoner stays in Azkaban, the weaker the prisoner's body will become, and it will be tough to escape naturally, so obviously, Black's idea of escape is only a recent idea."
Hearing Alvin's analysis, the two girls nodded and agreed with him.
Alvin accompanied the two around Hogsmeade and bought gifts for Luna and Astoria in the castle.
Originally, Alvin wanted to bring Luna out to relax. Still, the little witch did not agree to Alvin's invitation.
After lunch, Alvin separated from Cho and Hermione and agreed to meet at Honeydukes.
And he went to the Shrieking Shack.
The closer he gets there, the less populated it becomes.
Shrieking Shack has a deep relationship with Sirius.
When Lupin was studying at Hogwarts, Dumbledore asked Lupin to transform here every night of the full moon.
Sirius once also tricked Snape over and almost let Snape be killed by Lupin, who was transformed.
That's why Snape knew Lupin was a werewolf.
When Alvin walked into the Shrieking Shack, Sirius was already there.
At this time, he maintained his Animagus form, and after seeing Alvin, he turned it into a human form.
"Long time no see, Alvin."
Sirius looked happy, with no remorse for failing to sneak into Hogwarts.
Alvin ignored the enthusiasm of the other party and said angrily. "Come on. You seem to have forgotten what you promised me?"
Sirius smiled embarrassedly, this was what he did wrong, and he couldn't refute it. He could only explain the reason to Alvin.
"I just wanted to see Harry, not to catch Peter Pettigrew."
Hearing him say this, Alvin's face softened, "Then you can also inform me in advance. Didn't I give you a contact prop?"
Alvin had previously given Sirius an alchemy prop, similar to a cell phone in the Muggle.
When Sirius used magic to write some characters on it, Alvin's side could see it too.
Sirius scratched his head. This incident also exceeded his expectations. He accidentally met a fat cat and quickly became a good friend.
The cat helped him steal a note with Gryffindor's password written on it, and he didn't want to bother Alvin.
Who knew that he was so unlucky that the password was incorrect?
After listening to his story, Alvin also understood the reason.
"That note belongs to Neville, and only he will write down the password with a note. It is thought that the note Crookshanks stole for you has expired."
"Crookshanks?"
"Well, that fat cat's name, that's my girlfriend's pet."
Sirius suddenly realized.
"Neville, is that the Longbottom's child?"
Hearing Neville's name, Sirius' expression also became a little sad.
Both he and Neville's parents were members of the Order of the Phoenix, and he also learned that the Longbottom had been tortured to insanity by the Death Eaters.
But soon, he also packed up his mood.
"Have you seen the news in the Daily Prophet? It is estimated that some people will soon suspect Peter Pettigrew's death."
Speaking of this, Sirius became excited. For him now, avenging James is his most important thing.
And taking care of Harry comes second.
Every time he goes to steal something, he turns into Peter Pettigrew, and the family he chooses is very particular.
Most of these people are the ones who have seen Peter Pettigrew.
Alvin nodded, indicating that he saw it.
Then he looked at Sirius with a strange expression on his face.
"You stole, I can understand, but what happened to the papers about you peeking at Mrs. Lutsen?"
