Phoenix on Dumbledore's shoulder screamed.

"Go and stare at Harry, you don't have to show up." He said, Fawkes spread its wings and flew into the air, and the silhouette disappeared abruptly.

"What a strange creature," Felix said admiringly, "I can't help but get close."

Dumbledore glanced at him, "Hagrid is very happy recently, he and me Speaking of an old friend coming to stay temporarily, do you know the reason, Felix?"

Felix said to him, "I don’t know, headmaster... I haven’t been in touch recently."

p>

Soon, the four Head of House and professors arrived, and Professor McGonagall briefly spoke about the situation.

Snape startled, "Black! Still so stupid... how did he break through the dementor's defense?"

Felix said quietly: "Severus, he can escape from Azkaban Do you still care about how many dementors? To me, this thing is disgusting and useless."

Currently, the dementor does not appear on the school grounds. The only thing that students can see is the dementor. The way is to pass the Hagrid hut, after walking a long ramp, and see two guarding the main entrance of the school.

But if you shrink Hogwarts by a certain percentage of Small Accomplishment, you will find a large number of dementors gathered on the edge of Hogwarts, including the wizard village next to the school-Hogsmeade.

This is also the reason why Felix believes that Luna’s behavior is not safe. No one can guarantee that dementor will suddenly jump out. Although the Ministry of Magic will definitely be out of the patrol, it is young and emotional. A full student is no different from a big meal to dementor.

Dumbledore strongly opposes them entering the school for this reason. In his opinion, the Ministry of Magic can't control the dementor at all. But he also had to make certain compromises to allow them to appear outside the school.

Snape calmed down and said to Dumbledore suggestively: "Headmaster Dumbledore, the newspaper said the day before yesterday that he found Black’s trail in Diagon Alley, and he appeared outside the castle today, as if—in me It seems that no one can help him to do this."

The professor present looked at Snape in surprise, and Flitwick yelled sharply: "You mean Black called some deaths. Eater?"

Snape was stunned. He didn't mean that...

The professors discussed spiritedly, and they accepted Snape's'idea' almost instantly, or rather , This is a reasonable guess.

The newspaper has already boasted Black as "Death Eater Number One Person under you know who". With this label, it is strange that you can't find a helper.

"With his prestige..."

"Maybe that is the case. We thought Black was just a person, but maybe he has gathered a lot of dark wizards."

The originally silent Lupin suddenly opened the mouth and said: "I don't think so, Sirius —" He froze for a second or two, "Black is just an undercover agent, I think even in Death Eater's circle Here, his identity is rarely known."

"Lupin, can I understand that you are defending your best friend?" Snape pointed the finger at Lupin, and he deliberately increased his "good friend" The sound of the word.

"No, Snape." Lupin said calmly, "It's just a simple analysis." He looked towards Dumbledore, "Maybe when he returns to Death Eater as an undercover agent, he will be warmly welcomed and sought after. , But the problem is that he failed. His intelligence directly led to the disappearance of you know who. Will Death Eater believe him?"

"headmaster, based on what I know about him, Black definitely Is alone, maybe...maybe to prove himself, just like when he was in school, or in the age of war—every battle, he was at the forefront." Lupin concluded depressedly: "He likes to take risks. He likes to be a lonely hero."

Snape's eyes were cold, but he didn't speak any more, and shrank himself in the darkness in the corner without saying a word.

A professor put forward his own opinion: "Without the help of Death Eater, how did he cross hundreds of kilometers in two days? There are many people trying to catch his clues, Ministry of Magic This time I’ve dropped the capital, the bounty is not low."

"Probability is too much, floo powder, portkey, broomstick..."

"But they will leave traces, Black Don't dare to expose!"

"Will it be Disapparation, some wizards do not need wand to use it."

Flitwick is the authority of the spell, he rejected this Guess: "In theory, Disapparation does not require wand, but in reality few people can do it. It is much more difficult than you think, and it is very prone to accidents. Besides, Disapparation also has many restrictions, unless...unless he gets a Root wand!"

"How is it possible?"

"To steal, to grab, as long as the opportunity is right, nothing is impossible."

Dumbledore interrupted After this discussion, "Everyone, let's search the castle first to make sure it's safe."

Finally, all the faculty spent a short night until it got light and didn't find any problems.

The professors dispersed one after another, and Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, Snape and Felix got together again. Professor McGonagall was to report on the latest developments, and Snape obviously had something to say. And Felix, there is a small question that needs Dumbledore to answer.

Professor McGonagall said: "I have taken the portrait of Black and asked the fat lady to confirm that she will never admit it."

"Very well, Minerva." Dumbledore said. "It's best to let all the portraits in the castle remember the look of Black. I mean... those portraits that can be communicated." Professor McGonagall nodded, Snape whispered, Dumbledore turned Head looked towards him: "Severus, do you seem to have something to say?"

There was no emotion in Snape's words: "Dumbledore, I think we are doing useless work. Before school started, we discussed-- "He raised his head and cast his gaze from the aquiline nose. "As long as there are hidden dangers in the castle, Black will always find a chance."

Professor McGonagall said sternly, "You mean someone in Hogwarts is ventilating." Report? This is impossible! Impossible, Severus."

Dumbledore said firmly: "What happened today just proves that there is no Black's helper in the school."

"That's not necessarily , Headmaster," Snape said in a low voice, and he quickly said, "Maybe the inner ghost just doesn't know that there is a speculum specifically for Black, in fact," he said with a mocking expression, "I'm also kept in the dark, am I not? "

Felix knows who he is talking about, Remus · Lupin, Sirius · Black's best friend at school, as early as a few hours ago, Snape deliberately led the people to suspicion about him, but was led by Flitwick Wrong...

It seems that Dumbledore warned him not to let him reveal Lupin’s werewolf identity, otherwise the professors and students’ parents would definitely fry the pot-during the war years, werewolf used to be Voldemort’s An important Power of Darkness.

...

When McGonagall and Snape left, Felix raised the question in his mind.

"Do you want to know how the dementor reproduces?" Dumbledore repeated the question he heard.

"Yes, as far as I know, there are not many dementors, about a hundred? The data I came into contact with when I was in school showed that their numbers have not changed much in the past 100 years." Felix asked.
