Chapter 146 Lupine's Trial and Level 5 Runes
John recently noticed something was wrong with his dog.
Not just Tom, but even Crookshanks.
Watching Tom leave the lounge, John looked at the empty dog food and fell into thought.
"I ate the amount of three dogs, but I haven't gained any weight. Aren't you bullying an honest person?"
Tom needs dog food to maintain his status as the big brother in front of Fang, so John will bring three times as much dog food by default.
But the dog food that should have been eaten until the end of the semester has bottomed out.
With this amount of food, no matter how slow John is, he should know there is something wrong.
In order to find out where Tom's dog food was going, John cast a disillusionment spell on himself and followed.
Tom didn't find John, but met Crookshanks who sneaked out, and then left together.
A cat and a dog are very harmonious, mainly reflected in the fact that Crookshanks is the main brain, while Tom is in charge of licking.
Following along the way, cats and dogs went to the Whomping Willow.
Crookshanks deftly pressed his paw to the whooping-willow scab with John's damned look on his face.
"Is this cat about to mature?"
It took John a month to discover this weakness, but a cat also knew it.
While the Whomping Willow was still, Tom ran in.
Even more outrageous things came out, Crookshanks squatted there, as if on guard.
John wanted to go there, but Crookshanks was at the entrance of the secret passage.
After a while, Tom ran out.
The dog food on it disappeared, and John's eyes froze.
These two little things are raising things in the screaming shack behind their backs?
How did they know about this secret passage?
Questions came to mind, and John decided to investigate for himself.
Crookshanks was very smart, and before he left, he made a detour, as if he was afraid of being followed.
"Could it be that this is the figure that resembles the host?" Crookshanks' cleverness made people admire him.
John thought that this cat probably inherited Hermione's IQ, so it could be called Hermione among cats.
But the road is one foot tall and the devil is ten feet tall. John used a supersense spell to confirm that Crookshanks had not returned, and he went to the secret passage under the Whomping Willow.
Proceeding along the secret passage, John entered the Shrieking Shack again.
Speaking of which, he hasn't been here for a while, and since he tested Malfoy, he gradually forgot about it.
The atmosphere of the Screaming Shack was still terrifying, and John walked towards it.
A grain of dog food on the ground caught his attention, and he leaned over to check it out.
With his hand already on his wand, John looked around.
"Quick appearance."
The wand struck the furniture in the room, but John saw nothing unusual.
He muttered: "Strange."
After searching again, there was nothing but the dog food.
John turned and left.
Shortly after he left, a head crawled out of a hole shaped like a dog's hole under a big tree outside the Screaming Shack.
"What a smart little wizard, if my sense of smell wasn't so sensitive, I might have been caught."
Sirius Dog has a humanized look on his face, and he will inherit some of his talents when he becomes an Animagus.
His talent is that he has a sense of smell beyond that of ordinary dogs. Although the illusion spell can hide the body, it cannot isolate the smell of the body.
For Sirius, this is the confidence that he is sure to escape from the hands of many Aurors.
The Screaming Shack can't stay for the time being, Sirius has to relocate.
The last time he sneaked to see Harry at the Quidditch pitch, he was hunted down by dementors, and Sirius didn't dare to touch Harry rashly.
Fortunately, he has two friends who are willing to help. He only needs to find the right opportunity to catch that guy, and then he can do it himself.
Anger and hatred flashed across the face of the big black dog, and Sirius dug the dog hole deeper.
This way he can evade capture.
...
John actually killed the carbine, but unfortunately, nothing was found.
The Screaming Shack is outside the Marauder's Map, and John has no way of knowing what's going on through the Marauder's Map.
After returning from outside, he meets Lupine.
Nodding in greeting, John was about to leave.
Unexpectedly, the moment he turned around, there was a gust of wind in his ears.
John turned his head to look, and the wand was already facing his face.
"Professor Lupine wants to murder students at Hogwarts?"
There are only two people in this corridor right now, Lupine asked with a look of inquiry in his eyes, "Why don't you avoid it?"
John was acting so nonchalantly that he didn't look like a third grader at all.
Even an Auror with a strong psychological quality will not be so calm when his wand is pressed against his forehead.
Hearing this question, John smiled lightly, "Because I'm not afraid."
Lupine was a little surprised, "Oh?"
John shrugged and said, "No one would be so stupid as to kill someone in a castle."
This reason is very confident and reasonable.
Lupine put down his wand and said apologetically, "Sorry, I mistook you for being Sirius Black in disguise. You know, the last time Black entered the castle."
"Understood, I just came back from outside the castle." John didn't seem surprised at all.
After he finished speaking, he said meaningfully: "As long as it's not murder."
Lupine glanced at John inexplicably, murder?
John changed the subject and asked, "I heard that Professor Lupine is also a student of Hogwarts, so he must know a lot of things, right?"
Lupine nodded modestly, "Know some."
"So, Professor, do you know anything about murders at Hogwarts?" John stared into Lupine's eyes.
Lupine's pupils shrank instantly, and he remembered a ridiculous thing that happened to him once.
If there was no James that day, maybe he had made a big mistake.
In just a split second, Lupine adjusted and asked with pretended ease, "Why do you ask about these things?"
Capturing the momentary change, John said with a smile: "I want to find out things about Hogwarts and write them into a collection of stories. There is nothing more provocative than murder."
He was so tight-lipped that Lupine had a vague sense that John might know something.
Looking at John, Lupine nodded and turned to leave.
When the two of them turned their backs, a sentence appeared in their minds.
"There's something wrong with this guy."
...
There was a hidden temptation in Lupine's words. Although he didn't see the relationship between John and Johnny Silverhand, he could see that John was not as simple as he appeared.
The calmness when facing the magic wand, as well as the language that seems to be pointing, seem to be showing extraordinary.
John was also sure of one thing, there had been a murder at Hogwarts.
It is not known whether the murder was successful or not, but it had something to do with Lupine.
The two had different ideas, and neither of them took advantage of the round of temptation.
Go to the Chamber of Secrets of the Society of Stars.
John's runes have been upgraded.
Level 5 runes are upgraded by themselves, saving John from using an arbitrary point.
Double level 5, John felt that he had a deeper understanding of magic.
The Silver Wick sword, which hadn't been taken out for a long time, was placed on the table, and John enhanced it with enchantment.
"Wounds inflicted by the sword of Silver Wick are irreparable."
A cutting curse is added, which cannot be unlocked by ordinary magic.
John also added runes to establish a certain connection with the sword of Silver Wick.
"When I am in danger, this sword will come to protect me."
He held the sword in his right hand and raised it horizontally. After less than half a minute, John put it down.
His right hand defect is still there, and he can only hold a sword with his left hand.
Pulling out the sword and stuffing it back into the small bag, John continued to brew the soul-repairing potion.
A dementor soul is only enough for three times. After drinking this pot, he needs to catch the dementor again.
The Aurors were alarmed last time, so it may be difficult to get over it again.
Fortunately, John thought of a way. Since the ones outside Hogwarts cannot be caught, then the ones in Hogsmeade can always be caught, right?
In order to guard against Sirius Black, the Ministry of Magic can be said to be strictly on guard, even if they come to take Hogsmeade, they will not be able to escape the fate of being watched.
Just do it, John went out through the secret passage of the one-eyed hunchback witch, and after arriving at Honeydukes Candy Store, he used the Disillusionment Charm to go out.
There was no one in Hogsmeade at night, only the dementors wandering around like ghosts.
A few Aurors were there too, but it wasn't a big deal.
John soon had his eye on a lone Dementor.
