Everything was Dumbledore's plot!
Andy thought with clenched teeth.
Once this doubt fermented, Andy would have to tell Hermione some truth.
First wolf in the village!
Apart from the Time Turner, there was no way to help Snape create an alibi. And Andy knew Snape's identity and that Lucius had defected to Dumbledore.
In other words, Andy had a reason to help them.
Very well, the three wolves have been found!
If we count Peter Pettigrew, Hermione can now name all four of the wolves in the game.
Andy, Snape, Peter, and Lucius!
None of them can escape!
Fortunately, Sirius' description of the 'man in black' may temporarily lift the suspicion of Andy.
No matter which side he is on, this man in black should not have appeared.
"Man in black?" Hermione asked doubtfully.
"Yes!"
Sirius nodded and said, "A man in a black robe with a mask on his face. During the last wizard war, this was the attire of the Death Eaters."
"Could it be him?"
Harry glanced at Andy and Hermione and guessed, "Last semester, someone attacked me on the Long Bridge. Could the Black Robe Sirius encountered be the same person as the one we encountered?"
"It's possible!" Andy said.
Harry's face was twisted with emotion.
From the evidence so far, it was clear that Snape and Lucius were not suspects.
Because they had a full alibi!
Then what was the point of always suspecting them?
They have evidence!
Harry felt a slight bitterness in his heart. How could he have not thought of such obvious evidence?
"Harry, don't let personal feelings affect your judgement."
Sirius said sternly, "At first, I also suspected Snape. But the evidence proves that he didn't do those things."
Harry nodded seriously.
However, despite what he said, Harry still had one unanswered question.
Last semester, when he saw Snape, why did the scar on his forehead hurt?
That was a sign that only appeared when he saw Voldemort.
But this was not the time to consider this question.
"They're after me!"
Harry said in a low voice. "If they come for me, we can take them all!"
Hearing this, Hagrid and Ron looked at Harry with concern, as if something terrible would happen to him at any moment.
"Yes, they're after you!"
Sirius said, looking at Harry with a serious expression. "Dumbledore also gave me a task. Harry, he asked me to train you during this year's Christmas holidays."
After saying this, Sirius gave Harry a wink.
"That's great!"
Harry said excitedly, "Let me see, the Christmas holiday... is less than two months away."
"This will definitely be the best Christmas I've ever had!"
Sirius was obviously very satisfied with Harry's reaction: "Then it's settled; you can't complain about being tired then."
Harry quickly said, "Of course not! I can't wait for that day to come."
Hagrid hesitated and said, "Sirius, I'm not questioning Dumbledore's decision, but... isn't it a bit too early to let Harry face all this?"
Sirius sighed, "The Dark Lord and the Death Eaters don't care how old Harry is. They want Harry. If Harry doesn't grow up quickly, he won't have any strength to fight back when that day comes."
Hagrid's face was full of indignation, and he had obviously reached the end of his patience with the You-Know-Who and the Death Eaters.
Harry, on the other hand, was full of determination.
He had already started to fantasise about the posture he would adopt when the Death Eaters came to capture him, and how he would defeat them one by one.
"Harry, before I formally train you, I need to show you what a real wizard duel is like!"
Having said that, Sirius looked at Andy with a provocative gaze.
He also made a 'five' gesture: "Andy, you haven't forgotten, have you? We made a promise of five hundred times!"
Andy laughed, "Of course! Five hundred times, not one less!"
"Whoever dares not is a coward!" Sirius said immediately.
"And you have to run ten laps around Hogwarts Castle while shouting, 'I'm a coward', do you dare?" Andy immediately doubled the punishment.
"I must say, you are cruel to yourself!"
Sirius got up and laughed, "Let's go! Let's go outside."
Sirius had wanted to teach Andy a lesson for a long time.
Although Andy was his rescuer, this young wizard was so annoying.
Sirius still couldn't forget how Andy had humiliated him when he locked him in the cell.
"What are you going to do?" Ron asked confusedly.
"A duel, of course!"
Sirius laughed, "Five hundred times, as we previously agreed."
Ron gritted his teeth.
Harry urged him cautiously, "Sirius, don't you want to think about it again?"
"Don't worry, Harry!"
Sirius patted Harry on the shoulder, "I know Andy is your friend, and he saved my life too. We're just duelling for fun; I won't hurt him."
Harry: That's not what I meant at all.
Harry and Ron exchanged glances. They had witnessed Andy's duel with Snape and knew how good Andy was.
Although they didn't know how good Sirius was, they...
Hermione, on the other hand, gave Andy a strange look. "This is your own agreement... Good luck! By the way, I don't want to see my boyfriend running around the castle ten times and shouting, 'I'm a coward.'"
"Hey, watch this!" Andy grinned and took the lead, walking towards the door of the hut.
Soon, the group arrived outside the hut.
"Andy, unlike a formal duel, we'll try to simulate actual combat, so let's not plan the venue, okay?" Sirius suggested.
"No problem!" Andy said with his hands spread out.
"Very good!"
Sirius nodded. "Harry, pay attention; I'll teach you the first lesson in duelling..."
Halfway through his sentence, Sirius suddenly swung his wand at Andy.
A beam of magic light flashed past.
At the same time, Sirius continued, "In a real battle, the enemy won't give you time to prepare..."
Bang!
There was a light sound.
Sirius' entire body froze in place, and the rest of his sentence was swallowed back by him.
Andy was standing calmly across from him. In the face of Sirius's sudden attack, Andy had only slightly raised the index finger of his right hand, and an invisible magic barrier appeared in front of him.
Bam!
Sirius's magic instantly dissipated.
