Stepfather of HP

mouse.

At that time, he discovered that Snape, who was cold-blooded and cruel to Lily, cared deeply about Harry Potter, and the two were father and son with a good relationship.

In the place where he was imprisoned, what he lacked most was time, and a perfect escape plan was also drawn up. The key to the plan was to catch Potter and force Snape to hand over the antidote.

Who knew that Snape was very strict with his precautions. The Marauder's Map they made earlier, which was used for the great cause of violating school rules, was also used as a tool for arresting him. It doesn't matter if he hides in the secret passage. Once he shows up, he will be rounded up. .

He poked his head out of the window of the Shrieking Shack. It was Hogsmeade Day, and he couldn't believe he couldn't wait for Harry Potter.

Harry drank the first sip of beer in his life under his father's weird and somewhat encouraging eyes... the creamy taste, the strange taste... Harry swallowed the beer and looked at the side who kept drinking Wizards, is it his sense of taste?

"The first step for a boy to grow up is to drink his first sip of butterbeer." Snape sighed.

"The legal drinking age is."

"Beer is in the range of beverages, and the wizard's butter beer has a lower alcohol content." Snape drank the black tea in front of him.

What kind of theory is this, beer is in the scope of drinks... But Harry is still very happy, his father rewarded him for sending out the first barely formed Guardian Guardian, and took him to the Three Broomsticks bar for a drink.

That blurred thing, when will it turn into an animal shape? Harry rested his chin on the table, his eyes squinted, and saw Ron and Hermione waving at him outside the window, and he quickly sat up straight body, waving to friends.

"your friend?"

"Yes." Father didn't dislike Ron and Hermione, but he didn't like them very much either.

"Go out with them, I've got a date."

"Huh?" Have a date?Who are you dating?Before, I wished I could put him on a belt and not let him out of sight, so why are you willing to let him play with his friends in Hogsmeade now?

Harry became vigilant, father wants to see his boyfriend?Principal Wood?

"I've got an appointment at the Hog's Head, and I'll meet you in an hour outside the Hog's Head," Snape said, standing up, taking money from his pocket to pay the bill, ignoring Harry's abandoned puppy With watery dog ​​eyes, he turned and left.

snort!No matter what he didn't like, he broke up with Principal Wood!fraud!Harry picked up the beer and drank it all.

71, jailbreak

Honeydukes Candy Shop - Hog's Head Bar, Vampire Lollipops - Hog's Head Bar, ten times more cockroaches than Dumbledore's desk - Hog's Head Bar...

Harry had been distracted the whole time he was shopping with Hermione and Ron, eyes kept looking out, the Hog's Head pub sign was shining brightly in the snow - damn Hog's Head pub.

"Sizzling Honey or Slug Jelly? Or Sour Lollipop?" Ron turned to ask Harry's opinion, only to see Harry looking out the window, "What are you looking at?

"The Pig's Head Bar..."

"That place is full of dirty old men and old ladies, mixed with dragons and snakes. Hogwarts students don't like to go there." Ron didn't have a good impression of the Pig's Head Bar, and most of the Hogwarts students liked it. Take the broom bar.

"Yeah, I heard that it's similar to a broken bar, with guest rooms on it, and there are a lot of people coming and going." Hermione said.

There was a guest room on it... Harry wanted to rush straight to the Hog's Head, but what could he do?Caught her father in bed once?

They saw Harry suddenly turned pale, and thought he was sick, "What's wrong with you? Are you sick?"

"It's okay." He endured... One day...he will... "Father made an appointment to meet there."

"Oh...it's indeed a place that teachers like to go very much..." Ron knew from the look in Harry's eyes that Professor Snape was not asking out ordinary people, but what can be done about it?It's perfectly normal for grown-ups to find someone to date, but it's just that a stepson like Harry can be awkward. "Let's go, I'll take you to Zuko's joke shop." Ron took Harry to Zuko's joke shop, hoping that Harry would feel better.

Hermione looked at Harry thoughtfully. Unlike Ron, she lived in a simple environment. She came from the Muggle world with a high divorce rate. She felt that Harry's mood was not right. The anger of finding a new love is a bit like... Hermione was frightened by her own guessing.

Zuko's joke store didn't really make Harry happy either. It looks like an ordinary quill, and the blood-spitting quill will vomit blood when you write. It looks like an ordinary cushion, and it will Harry absentmindedly picked up and put down the fart-sounding and smelling cushions.

"Is there no more fun place in Hogsmeade?" Harry said in a disinterested manner. The place that all Hogwarts students yearn for, the only town in England where only wizards live, is like the most interesting place in the world. Same boring place.

"..." Ron felt provoked. He knew he was in a bad mood, but he couldn't do it. "Let's go to the Shrieking Shack!" He decided to use his trump card.

"Ron, it's getting late." Hermione pointed to the notice on the wall. The notice clearly stated that in order to capture the A-level wanted criminal Regulus Black, there will be a dementia after dark every night. Blame patrolling Hogsmeade village.

"It's still early before dark." Ron said indifferently, "The Shrieking Shack is the most famous haunted place in England."

The weather was very cold, and it was snowing when they walked out of Zuko's joke shop, and the strong wind mixed with snow particles hit them, Harry shrank his neck, feeling a little cold.

Screaming Shack...why does it sound so familiar?Pulled by Ron, Harry walked a long way, and finally saw a hut surrounded by barbed wire.

It looks like a very ordinary two-story building, but it is dilapidated because it has been unoccupied for many years, and there is not even a complete piece of glass on the windows.

As if by coincidence, Harry waved his wand and shattered the barbed wire fence around the cabin, and walked forward on the snow that was so flat because no one had ever stepped on it.

"Harry?" Ron wanted to hold him back, he was still a little afraid of the most famous ghost in England.

"It's not that I've never seen a ghost. Don't you say this is the most famous haunted house in England? What's the fun just looking outside."

Ron didn't hold Harry, so he had to follow. Hermione stood outside the barbed wire and said, "These stupid boys!" and followed.

Harry pushed open the dilapidated door of the Shrieking Shack, and a stale air from being left alone for a long time came to his face. He walked on the floor that creaked when people walked on it, and his feet left behind thick dust under the thick dust. Clear footprints.

On the walls of the hut and on the few remaining pieces of furniture, there were clear scratches everywhere. These scratches... Harry touched these familiar scratches, thinking why he felt familiar with the screaming shack, here is... …

Creaking, the door that he pushed open was suddenly closed from the inside, and Ron was locked out, "Harry! Harry, don't scare me, open the door!"

"I didn't close the door!" Harry ran back and reached out to pull the door, but no matter how hard he tried, the door wouldn't move.

"What happened?" Hermione's voice came from outside.

"The door couldn't be opened, and Harry was locked inside. Is there really a... ghost..." Ron was about to cry in fright.

"Why are there ghosts to be afraid of? Hogwarts ghosts are no different from normal people." Hermione took out her wand, "Harry, stay away from the door."

Harry took a step back, suddenly felt a cool breeze behind him, and he fell to the ground with a plop.

"Torn apart!" The door shattered into pieces following Hermione's spell, but Harry, who was supposed to be at the door, disappeared.

"Harry!" Hermione and Ron trembled with fear, "Harry, where are you! Harry!!!"

Harry felt himself being dragged on the ground like a sack of potatoes. He struggled to find his wand, but found that his hands and legs were stiff and unable to move. The only thing he could move was his eyes.

He tried his best to move his stiff neck and look up, only to see a hand dragging him to walk, and he observed the surrounding environment, he seemed to be in a secret passage or something, the secret passage probably has a history, Plant-like things have emerged from some of the blue bricks used for masonry support.

Harry felt a gust of cold wind blowing towards him, and his eyes gradually became brighter. Have you reached the end of the secret passage?The person who was dragging him first got out of the secret passage, and then turned around and dragged him again...

"Everything is petrified." A familiar voice came, it was the father... the man who dragged him fell to the ground in response.

A familiar figure got into the secret passage and dragged him out of the secret passage, "The spell stopped immediately." After breaking the spell on him, "You are weaker than I imagined."

Harry sat up and saw a smile on the corner of his father's mouth, and the man who fell to the ground was pulled up by the godfather, who was tightly pulling the man's collar.

"So you're using me as bait?" Harry looked sideways at his father.

"Well, I knew he would come to you as soon as you were alone, but I didn't expect you to throw yourself into the trap." With Harry's weird physique, is it really that he is looking for trouble or the trouble is looking for him? Seeing Harry standing there silently, "I have been by your side, Black is not far from you, and Lupine has been watching from a high place..."

Harry threw his arms around his father, still silent.

"Harry I'm sorry..."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if you catch Peter Pettigrew." Harry hated Peter Pettigrew no less than Snape, and he was even more surprised that his father was secretly protecting him instead of dating someone. "You take me to see him, I have something to ask him."

Snape took Harry to the dungeon where Pettigrew Peter was imprisoned. The dungeon was reinforced with special magic. Don't say that Peter Pettigrew's Animagus was a mouse, even a fly couldn't fly out.

When they got there, they heard Sirius Black roar, "Why? I want to explain! James is so kind to you!"

"Okay? Yeah, he's nice to me, but he's second to you and Remus, when have you ever cared about my feelings? Uh? The humble little follower Peter Pettigrew, you all think so, don't you?" ?

"We have always regarded you as a friend." This was Remus' voice, "You were so cute when you were young, like a little brother who will never grow up."

"Yeah, cute... When Lisa approached me, all of you said that Lisa liked me and asked me to get along with her. What happened? It turned out that she had a crush on Sirius and wanted to use me to get along with Sirius." Hi Reece, Sirius, how did you do it again? Did you deliberately forget all those courtship letters Lisa wrote you? You kept laughing at me when I couldn't sleep at night thinking about presents for Lisa, didn't you? "

"I thought she fell in love with you at the time! I receive so many courtship letters every day, it's no wonder that Lisa and Mary are so inconspicuous, I'll remember them!" Sirius yelled back.

"Yeah, I received so many courtship letters... You, James, Remus, all grew taller and more handsome, James ran after Lily, you changed every week Girlfriend, because Remus is a werewolf, he refuses to accept girls' confession. As a result, some girls have been secretly in love with him until graduation. What about me? Who has seen me? It's the same in the Order of the Phoenix. Every time I am a lookout, guarding the headquarters Yes, I was also a follower in the Order of the Phoenix, yes, I betrayed James and Lily, but who of you looked for me when I was captured?"

"I looked for you." Remus said calmly, "You disappeared after that operation, I looked for you, and just when I wanted to inform others, you appeared again. At that time, you looked very dazed. , I asked you what happened. You said that you failed to apparate and went to a strange place, and finally found it. At that time, you were captured, right? Then you became a spy of the Death Eaters in the Order of the Phoenix, Betrayed information, Moody suspects that I am a spy, I would rather run away than express my suspicion, because I am afraid of wronging you, I can go if I am wronged, I can survive wherever I go, I know how much you admire James and Sirius, you will not be able to live if you are driven away..."

"It's my fault. I'll tell you my suspicions. Although it may not work, at least James will be vigilant." Remus had a very painful expression on his face.

"At that time, the Order of the Phoenix didn't want you to graduate at such a low altitude. You were a messy person who studied Defense Against the Dark Arts. James and I strongly recommended you. We forgot to ask if you would like to join..." Sirius said, shaking his hands Remus' hand tightened.

The Jiedao group of four was the most colorful part of their entire seven-year schooling career. Peter Pettigrew was once a friend they valued very much, but this friend actually thought that he had been wronged during the entire seven-year process, and silently Hating every single one of them, it's like their seven years of memories are fake.

Peter Pettigrew lowered his head, he remembered how kind James was to him, Sirius fought to stand out, and even Remus stayed up late to study for him, he covered his face with his hands, and slowly shed tears, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry...forgive me..." he cried bitterly, "I've been stamped with chrome, no one will believe that I'm innocent." He showed the Death Eater mark on his left arm.

"Don't hand me over, you are all my friends, we once swore to be loyal to each other..."

"Shut up!" Sirius was a little moved when he first started crying, but when he started to talk about not handing him over, the reluctance disappeared from Sirius' face, and he kicked him away forcefully, "You don't deserve to mention the word loyalty!"

He rushed forward and wanted to hit Peter Pettigrew again. All these years he had been thinking about finding Peter Pettigret and beating him to death. Remus grabbed his hand and shook his head at him, "Let's go, he won't It's worth it, it's not worth your blood for him."

Remus took Sirius' hand and walked away. Peter Pettigrew, who rolled himself into a ball and was ready to accept Sirius' fist, sat up and hugged Remus' thigh while crawling, "No, don't put me Throw it here! Don't! Please, I don't want to go to Azkaban!"

Sirius kicked him away, yes, such a person is not worthy of his blood, he is no longer the little boy he remembered, but a real villain.

He opened the door and saw Snape in black wizard robes and Harry in Gryffindor uniform standing next to him, they took Remus' hand and walked away without saying anything.

"Are you still going to see him?" Snape asked Harry.

"No." Harry shook his head, he was just an ordinary clown, there was nothing to ask.

"I have something to settle with him, you go back first." Snape let Harry go alone first, and walked into the place where Pettigrew Peter was being held.

Peter Pettigrew seemed to have lost all his strength, sitting on the ground as soft as a puddle of mud.

Snape took out a bottle of medicine and threw it to him, "Drink it, and the people from the Ministry of Magic will come and take you away in an hour. I don't want them to test my poison. You better know what to say and what not to say." What."

Trembling, Pettigrew twisted open the bottle containing the dark purple potion, put it in his mouth but dared not drink it.

"If I want your life, I don't have to work so hard. Whether you like to drink or not, anyway, you will soon be sentenced to accept the dementor's kiss. Maybe no one will give you a medical examination."

As soon as Snape finished speaking, Peter Pettigrew opened his mouth and drank the potion.

Snape took back the potion bottle, turned and walked out of the dungeon, and locked the dungeon door tightly behind his back.

During dinner, everyone was talking about the wanted pettigret pettigrew who was accidentally arrested at Hogwarts. Harry silently ate the potato goulash on the plate, carefully removing the unpalatable beans in it one by one. Pick out and place on the edge of a plate.

"Hermione was torn apart, but Harry was gone through the door, she was about to cry, but I know Harry will be fine." Ron happily told others about Harry's adventure to capture Pettigrew Peter remembers.

"I remember you were the one who was about to cry at that time." Hermione complained calmly.

"You're remembering wrong!" Ron adamantly denied a moment when he screamed and cried at Harry.

"I remember it very clearly." Hermione didn't give Ron any face.

At this moment, the door of the hall was suddenly opened, and Snape rushed in like a black cloud, and went straight to where the headmaster was, "Peter Pettigrew escaped from prison."

The author has something to say:

Perhaps in Peter Pettigrew's eyes, his friendship with James, Sirius and Remus is not equal, but since he enjoys the benefits of being with the brightest star in the school - no one dares to bully, You can bully others, you can receive gifts from many girls, and someone will help him and take care of him. After getting these benefits, you don’t want to be the most inconspicuous one. You feel that they all look down on him, and you can’t bear to leave... like this Even if the villain has a little kindness in the end, he is not worthy of sympathy.

72. Arrested

As soon as Professor Snape finished speaking, the students exploded like honeycombs thrown to the ground by a bear, and the voices of various discussions almost drowned out everything, even the person on the other side could not listen lightly.

"Quiet!" Dumbledore stood up, raised his wand and emitted a red light upwards.

The students fell silent, "I believe the Ministry of Magic will take care of this matter, please continue to enjoy dinner." After Dumbledore finished speaking, he and all the staff, including Sirius Black, who gave the meal, followed Snape gone.

After they left, the students who were quiet for less than 5 minutes began to discuss again. Peter Pettigrew, a Class A wanted criminal who had been mysteriously missing for more than ten years, was arrested, and then disappeared in Hogwarts an hour after being arrested. , There must be a huge secret in it. After discussing, everyone focused on the legendary Harry trio who participated in the capture.

Hermione tugged at the sleeves of the two boys, and the two boys followed her knowingly. They quickly found an empty classroom and walked in.

Hermione found an old quill, turned it into a candle, lit it with a wand, and there was light in the dark classroom.

"I really miss electric lights at times like this," said Hermione.

"Yeah, it's never been more obvious than this time that you're a hemp seed." Ron said with a fluorescent flash, and the light from the tip of his wand illuminated an area about the same size as a candle.

"Okay, let's discuss what happened." Harry didn't want to get involved in yet another argument between the two.

"Obviously Peter Pettigrew escaped." Ron pointed out the reality of the most obvious opinion.

"But how did he escape? Father said his dungeon was specially designed so that even his Animagus couldn't fly out."

"He couldn't have escaped while being escorted, otherwise, it wouldn't be Professor Snape reporting the news, but Aurors besieging Hogwarts." Hermione pointed out this very clearly.

"We won't know what's going on unless we're in the staff office now." Ron shrugged.

"Then we'll go to the staff office." Harry winked at them both.

Auror Kingsley followed behind Rufus Scrimgeour, the director of the Auror department. He had only seen the expression of his lean and stern boss at this moment three times in his life. After those three times, he silently vowed never to I hope the boss has such an expression.

Scrimgeour has always been a hawk in the Ministry of Magic, and he is also one of those who believe that the Ministry of Magic will solve the Death Eater incident, rather than the so-called illegal private organization Order of the Phoenix. This is Scrimgeour's philosophy.

On the other hand, he respects Principal Dumbledore, or he hopes to gain the support of his old principal, so as to gain the public's trust in the Auror branch. When the raging and the Auror Department doing nothing, it has already been greatly reduced.

The arrest of Pettigrew Peter was originally an opportunity for the public to regain confidence in the Auror branch. Although only one of the three people who captured Peter Pettigrew was the former Auror Sirius Black, Sirius was precisely because of the Auror The branch gave up the large-scale search for Peter Pettigrew, who had lost track, and then resigned to track it alone.

He hoped to convince Sirius to rejoin the Auror team, and he hoped that the photo of him in the Auror uniform and himself in the Auror branch director's uniform escorting Peter Pettigrew to Azkaban would become the headline of the Daily Prophet.

Yes, he is the director of the Auror Department, and he is also a politician. He hopes to defeat the cowardly and incompetent old man Fudge with his usual tough and iron-blooded image in the next election for the Minister of Magic.

He even thought about the statement he would make to the reporters, but all this was broken when they came to Hogwarts and heard that Peter Pettigrew had escaped.

He gritted his teeth and walked forward. He even wished that he had never received the letter that Peter Pettigrew had been arrested, let alone revealed part of the letter to his old friend Rita from the Daily Prophet.

Now he could imagine what Rita would write in tomorrow's papers—A-level wanted criminal was arrested and escaped from prison, could the Ministry of Magic be more incompetent?

He pushed open the door to the Hogwarts faculty meeting room, not even noticing that he had left it closed, so that someone followed him into the meeting room.

"I need an explanation," he yelled at Dumbledore.

"The cell door is broken from the outside. Hogwarts, as you know, is not a prison. No one has experience in confinement." Dumbledore's blue eyes with small round glasses shone with an ambiguous light, and Sk Lin Jie hated the old man's eyes that seemed to see everything. If he really saw everything, Peter Pettigrew would not have escaped under his nose.

"What I want to hear is not an excuse. Don't you even know that you are going to send someone to guard you?"

"It's dinner time." Dumbledore blinked. Originally, Hogwarts is a school, not a prison. If people are caught and then lost, they can't be blamed. Scrimgeour's The attitude was as if he was interrogating his subordinates, and Dumbledore didn't want to show weakness.

"I want to know who was the last person to see Peter Pettigrew!"

"That can only be me." Severus Snape, who was wearing a black wizard robe, with his hair neatly tied up and tied tightly behind his head with a black leather cord, stood up, " But I can assure you that I locked the cell door before I left."

"It's you!" Of course Scrimgeour remembered Severus Snape. In fact, Snape was number one on the TOP 10 list he always wanted to throw into Azkaban, ranking even after Peter Pettigrew. Above all, this cunning Death Eater somehow obtained Dumbledore's protection, which made him unable to fulfill his wish. This time he admitted that he was the last person to see Peter Pettigrew, which made Sk Lin Jie became inexplicably excited, "Take it away!"

With a wink from him, Kingsley took two steps forward, pointed at Severus Snape with his wand, "Don't do anything stupid." Of course Kingsley knew Snape's strength, and he didn't think that A room full of grown wizards, who would help them catch Snape, in fact they'd be fine if they didn't help Snape deal with him.

"Wait." Dumbledore stopped him. "May I ask why you took my Potions Master away?"

"He was the last person to see Peter Pettigrew, and he's a former Death Eater, are those two reasons enough?" Scrimgeour said, looking Dumbledore in the eye.

"Peter Pettigrew was arrested precisely because of his plans and actions. It is too illogical to say that he was the one who rescued Peter Pettigrew," said Dumbledore.

"I don't think Death Eaters will obey the so-called logic." Scrimgeour sneered.

"Then Peter Pettigrew was with me when he escaped from prison, is that a reliable alibi?" Sirius Black stood up, everyone looked at him in surprise, no one expected to talk to Severer Snape was in hot water and he would testify for him.

"You can go to the Auror branch to take a statement after nine o'clock tomorrow morning, but I'm going to take him away now." Scrimgeour glanced at Sirius Black. Luo became more rebellious in the office, and he began to consider whether it was a wrong idea to let this person return to the Auror Department.

"You can also leave now. At nine o'clock tomorrow morning, I will personally bring Mr. Severus Snape to the Ministry of Magic." Dumbledore said.

"Then give you time to conspire?" Scrimgeour looked at Dumbledore almost mockingly, "The so-called Order of the Phoenix should take care of its own affairs first, and you are welcome to the Ministry of Magic at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. A legitimate citizen opened the door, but now I'm taking Snape."

"..." Dumbledore was still about to say something, but Remus Lupine stood up, "As Cyrus Snape's lawyer, I request to go with him."

"What?" Scrimgeour glared at the known werewolf. It was strange enough that he was on the faculty at Hogwarts, and he claimed to be Snape's lawyer?

"Yes, I request the activation of the criminal law promulgated by the Ministry of Magic in 1890. Any accused wizard can hire a reliable adult wizard as a lawyer to provide legal help. You know, I am often unemployed, I have a lot of free time, so I have a lot of opportunities to read law books, and I even have a lawyer's license."

"Well, you can go with us." Scrimgeour sneered, the werewolf could not expect any better treatment.

Severus stood up and refused the magic handcuffs that Kingsley wanted to put on him, "I won't run away halfway." Kingsley glanced at Scrimgeour, and nodded in agreement at Scrimgeour After that, put away the handcuffs.

Scrimgeour walked in the front, Severus Snape and Remus Lupine walked in the middle, Kingsley walked behind them, pointed his wand at the two people in front, and the four left the meeting room , after walking out of Hogwarts Castle, Scrimgeour ordered Severus and Remus to put their hands on a gold handcuff, and at the same time he and Kingsley put their hands on the same handcuff, four Individuals quickly disappear.

"Father!" Harry yelled, rushing out of the Invisibility Cloak, to where his father had disappeared.

Dumbledore pressed Harry's shoulder, "We will bring him back tomorrow, please trust me." His hand on Harry's shoulder was steady and firm.

Harry broke free from his grip and ran as fast as he could into the castle.

Ron and Hermione caught up with Harry when he reached the third floor, "Harry, Professor Snape will be fine."

"I wish we hadn't caught Peter Pettigrew." Harry thumped his hands against the wall.

"Actually..." Hermione took out a pocket watch-like thing with golden hands and a long golden chain. "We just need to catch the person who rescued Peter Pettigrew."

"Are you crazy? He has been rescued..." Ron glanced at the time on the magic clock, "It's been an hour."

"That means we only need to go back two hours ago." Hermione said slyly, "Don't you always want to know why I can attend all the classes? This is the secret."

Harry wiped away the tears that blurred his vision, and looked seriously at what looked like a pocket watch that Hermione took out, "Do you have a Time Turner?" Harry hadn't seen the real thing, but had read about it in a book.

"Yes, Professor McGonagall helped me apply for this at the beginning of the semester. This item is very rare and has strict usage rules. She asked me to promise not to abuse the time-turner. I don't think this thing is abused. within range."

"Okay, let's do it," Harry said.

"Let's change the place. It was full of people two hours ago." Hermione led them to an abandoned classroom, and used the gold chain of the time converter to circle Harry and Ron with herself, and then took Pick up the Time Converter and turn it counterclockwise twice.

Harry felt that his ears were blocked by something, and he couldn't hear anything. Everything around him seemed to be reversed and flew backwards. When everything stopped, they stood in place. Harry pushed The door was opened, and the corridor was indeed full of students returning from Hogsmeade.

73. The reality I don't want to know

The three of them blended into the crowd as if nothing had happened, "Father should take me to the dungeon at this time," Harry said.

"Hmm." The three of them went downstairs, and when they reached the basement level, there was no one around. This place is so gloomy that even Slytherins who love the underground world don't like to come here. The dungeon had been there from the very beginning of the castle, and Filch was always happy to talk about how in the "good old days" students were taken into the dungeon for punishment.

This place is not connected to the basement where Slytherin lives, and has completely different entrances and exits, but it is said to be connected by a secret passage.

A voice came from behind them, and Harry and the others immediately hid in a cross passage. The people who came were Snape and Harry. The two walked forward quietly. Whether Harry's 'past' Harry , or the 'now' Harry, couldn't take his eyes off his father.

"What do you want to do?" Hermione grabbed Harry, who was about to move.

"I'm going to warn my father."

"Have you forgotten what I said about the taboo of using a time-turner? A wizard once saw his self from the future, and then raised his wand and killed his past self. Once the past self died, he himself died, There are people who go insane because they see their past selves, and we can't take that risk."

"Yes, if you go out now, Professor Snape won't listen to you. He will think you are an enemy who has taken Polyjuice Potion, and he will kill you directly." Ron also stopped him.

Harry had no choice but to hide back where he was, watching his father and 'himself' disappear from sight.

After they left, the trio walked out from the shadows and continued to walk forward. When they were about to approach the dungeon, they heard footsteps again, and the three of them hid again. This time it was Sirius and Leigh. James.

"Sirius, calm down." Remus advised Sirius.

"I can't calm down, what he said - it seems like James and I were fools in the past." Sirius kicked hard at the dungeon's cold wall made of huge stones.

"At least we're not idiots now, are we?"

"What's the use of that, James and Lily are both dead, if I hadn't come up with that stupid idea, maybe James and Lily wouldn't have died, why not me!" Over the years, compared to hating Peter Pettigrew, West Reese hated himself even more.

"Calm down." Remus hugged Sirius, letting him lean into his arms like a baby, "Think about it, in the same situation, James must hope that you are the one who lives well, don't you?"

"But I'm not worthy..." Sirius said with a sob, "I don't believe that I can escape the death eaters, and I don't believe that I can survive all the torture. I thought that if I was caught, At least I won't betray James..."

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh'hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh) I left when you needed me most because of my temper." Remus kissed Sirius' hair."
