162 The Miserable Life Of Sirius, The Plan For Halloween Night!

A few weeks passed in the blink of an eye.

It's only a few days until Halloween.

During this time the students of Slytherin faithfully carried out Lucas's orders.

Whether it were the first or seventh years, no one showed up for Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

Dumbledore frowned every day because of this matter, while Professor Lupin turned his head white with worry.

And the other three Houses finally saw the unity of the Slytherin House.

They put themselves in their shoes and thought about it. If this matter were changed to their own House, someone will probably go to class after just a few days.

During this period.

It's not that nobody tried to fix the issue by approaching Lucas to talk about it.

Be it Professor McGonagall, Flitwick, or Sprout.

The Heads of the other three Houses had all spoken to Lucas, but he was determined.

Remus Lupin must publicly apologize to Professor Snape and Slytherin House.

Lucas knows that these people were all sent by Dumbledore.

Having experienced the previous two years of contact, the old bee obviously didn't want to get in touch with him easily.

Dumbledore wanted to wait until Lucas calmed down and softened his attitude before talking.

So after a while, people were sent to test the waters and Lucas showed Dumbledore his attitude firmly through these people.

It's almost Halloween and Lucas didn't want to continue being so exhausted.

It wasn't just the Slytherin students who were losing out because their grades started dropping for not taking Defense Against the Dark Arts.

Even he himself was being affected by getting less achievement points.

Seeing that he already had more than 19,000 achievement points, he planned to save up to 20,000 points before Halloween, since there will be a holiday lottery draw.

"Chief, I have already handed over the books I brought back to the first years."

"We will use the time that originally belonged to the Defense Against the Dark Arts class to teach the students of lower years in the common room."

Prefect Gemma Farley came behind Lucas to report on the situation.

Lucas nodded lightly, and his gaze was fixed on Professor Lupin who just left the castle.

Of course he wouldn't watch his Housemates' grades decline without doing anything.

The contents of the books brought back from Rowena Ravenclaw's library are very detailed.

Although there is no qualified professor to explain which will have an impact on learning, the impact is not that great.

This was already the best remedy he could think of.

If there is a grade chief who cannot explain the content of the books clearly, they can also come to him for help.

"Go back first."

…

It was already the fourth time that Remus had come to the Forbidden Forest.

Seeing Sirius resting under a tree, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Padfoot, where have you been recently, don't you know I've been looking for you for a long time?"

He had just finished speaking when he saw Sirius running towards him.

Looking at the tears in the corners of the dog's eyes, he was at a loss.

Half an hour later after a lengthy tale, it was only then that Remus realized what Sirius had been up to these days.

"Werewolves? Werewolves in the Forbidden Forest will never come out of the depths, did you provoke them somehow?"

Sirius shook his head hastily, his dog face was full of grievances.

Seeing this, Remus sighed: "Forget it, I came today to tell you that I found Peter."

After saying these words, his eyes became a little rejuvenated.

Thinking back to those days, remembering their times together as the "Marauders". They used to make the professors feel headaches just by seeing them.

But now?

He was really poor, and if it wasn't for Dumbledore's help, he might not be able to live on.

Sirius was wronged and sent to Azkaban for 12 years.

Peter Pettigrew pretended to be a mouse and hid for 12 years.

But the worst are James and Lily. Betrayed by Peter, leaving their child behind to live the life of an orphan.

"Well!"

Seeing Remus sigh, Sirius' eyes were full of puzzlement.

Having proved that Sirius was saying the truth, Remus can finally open up to him and recount everything that had happened recently.

Hearing of Lucas taking the Slytherin students to make trouble for his friend, Sirius's violent temper came up at once.

If it wasn't for Remus stopping him, maybe this reckless guy would have really rushed into the castle and thrown himself into a trap.

"Don't worry, Dumbledore will take care of it. I'm here this time to discuss with you about capturing Peter."

"I'm planning to do it on Halloween night, and you will come in to help then. When we catch Peter, we will take him to Dumbledore and ask him to help prove your innocence."

When talking about business, Sirius was still serious.

Although there is no serious expression on his dog face, he nodded and agreed with Remus' suggestion.

But it suddenly occurred to him that he couldn't undo his Animagus transformation now.

"It's okay, I've already thought about it, we can enter through another secret passage."

Remus said as he took out the Marauder's Map.

As something they made together when they were in school, this map carries many memories of the four Marauders.

A total of seven secret passages are recorded on the Marauder's Map. Most of these were found by James Potter with the invisibility cloak.

One of them leads from the inside of the castle to the Quidditch pitch.

The exit of this secret passage is a trap door and it doesn't use magic or a password to open like the one-eyed witch's passage.

For Sirius who can't transform now, this is the most suitable place.

The two squatted under the big tree in the Forbidden Forest and discussed it for a long time.

Professor Lupin did not return to the castle until it was dark.

…

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, it's almost Halloween.

Halloween is approaching, and the students are very excited.

Everyone gathered in the great hall for dinner. It's still a day away from the Halloween feast though, but the food in the evening is already very rich.

Just when everyone was busy enjoying the delicious food, a black figure entered Hogwarts through the secret passage of the Quidditch pitch.

Maybe it's because of the decline in IQ after becoming a dog or the animal instincts, but Sirius couldn't even control his temper well.

After successfully entering the castle, he made his way to Gryffindor Tower at once.

At this time, the fat lady was chatting with several people in the portrait next to her.

Suddenly, she heard a dog whimpering from under her feet.

"Is this some student's pet? I don't remember anyone in Gryffindor having a dog."

The fat lady glanced at the black dog under her feet, then turned around and asked a few companions beside her.

Most of them just shook their heads in denial, only the old man in one portrait frowned.

"I seem to have seen this dog somewhere."

All the portraits focused on the old man.

At this moment, almost headless Nick, floated out of the Gryffindor common room.

"Oh, isn't this Mr. Sirius Black!"

The surroundings suddenly became quiet and the portraits looked at the black dog in front of the fat lady in horror.

The old man in the portrait also remembered at this time.

"That's right, it's Sirius Black. His Animagus form is a black dog. I saw it once by chance."

It's a pity that it came to mind a little later.

Sirius bared his teeth and lunged at the Fat Lady, the sharp claws instantly tore up the fat lady's portrait.

As a soprano at Hogwarts, although the fat lady sang badly, she was definitely loud enough.

…

It wasn't long before Harry and Ron left the Great Hall.

When he learned that Harry has been practicing the advanced Patronus Charm recently, Ron was very envious.

"So you're about to master the Patronus Charm?"

"Professor Lupin said that I am still a little short of it, and I will be ready after practicing hard for some time."

Harry was feeling smug seeing the envious eyes of his friend. Then he told Ron that Professor Lupin was drinking a potion made by Snape.

"Did he really drink it?" Ron said in surprise.

Seeing Harry nod, Ron said in disbelief: "Did Professor Lupin die?"

"I tried persuading him. I said that Snape really wanted to be a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, but Professor Lupin didn't believe that Snape would poison him."

Harry spread his hands helplessly.

When he was planning to continue talking, the fat lady's screams came from the third floor.

When the two reached outside the Gryffindor common room entrance, the stairs were already full of people.

"Hey, why don't you go in?"

Ron shouted from behind the crowd, that's when Ginny stepped out of the crowd.

"The Fat Lady is gone, someone attacked her and tore her portrait!"

Both Harry and Ron were stunned.

Especially Harry, he made his way through the crowd and arrived in front of the portrait of the Fat Lady.

Looking at the marks left by the dog's claws on it, he suddenly felt chills all over his body.

"He's here, it must be him!"

"Harry, who's here?" Seamus asked curiously after hearing this, but Harry just shook his head and prepared to leave, but just happened to meet Dumbledore and the professors.

Percy, as this year's Head Boy, saw the professor's arrival and hurriedly stood up to maintain order.

"Get out of the way, let the professors through first, I'm the Head Boy, listen to me."

Percy's shout even overwhelmed the discussion of the crowd.

After Dumbledore checked the portrait, he immediately asked the people around him, "Where's the Fat Lady?"

The students looked around at the portraits, trying to find the missing fat lady.

At this time, Peeves came to the crowd.

"Oh, the fat lady is so miserable. I saw her hiding in the landscape painting on the fourth floor, running in the woods for a while, and hiding there. How pitiful!"

Dumbledore parted the crowd and looked gravely at Peeves in the air.

"Did she say who did it?"

Peeves laughed and nodded: "Of course, just because she didn't let him in, that guy tore her portrait to pieces."

"You should know who I'm talking about, what a nasty temper that guy has."

"Sirius Black!"

When Peeves called out the name, both the professor and the young wizards showed terrified expressions!.
