Dragon Roar Master at Hogwarts

Chapter 159: Professor Snape lifting the quilt on his day off



It has been almost a week since the start of school. Fortunately, nothing special has happened in Hogwarts during this time.

Pansy didn't do anything unusual except taking the initiative to get closer to Dudley.Even her attitude towards Furong is no longer as tough and hostile as it was at the beginning. Although there is still some alienation, at least they will greet each other politely when they meet.

Therefore, Dudley buried what Fleur said to him that day deep in his heart and never mentioned it again.

In fact, even if Fleur didn't say anything, Dudley had made speculations about Pansy's sudden change in personality, and even worried that she might have the missing Tom Riddle's diary.

But before a case occurs, Dudley decides not to doubt the people around him casually. Just as Dumbledore said to him, mutual suspicion and infighting will cause greater and more profound damage than any attack by the enemy. .

Anyway, Dudley finally ushered in the first weekend of the second school year.When Dudley got up, he found that Draco Malfoy had not slept in, and the bed was empty.

But since today was the weekend, Dudley wanted to just stay in bed. After all, he didn't know where to find anyone to kill time on the weekend. He always felt that whether it was Pansy or Fleur, as long as he found one of them, he would be seen by the other. It will become a problem.

Just when Dudley was planning to stay in the dormitory today to finish reading "The Quibbler" that Luna had lent him before, the sound of thumping footsteps came from the stairs.

I saw Severus Snape walking towards Dudley on the bed like a big bat, his robes flying, his expression looking very serious.

"What happened, Professor Snape." Seeing Snape's gloomy face, Dudley also became nervous. Could it be that the hooded woman finally started to act?

"Why are you still lying on the bed leisurely?" Snape frowned, "Did you know that today is the day when the Slytherin Quidditch team is training? Didn't anyone inform you?"

Hearing Snape's words, Dudley breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued to lie back lazily on the bed: "Did you think something big happened? To say that the notification was really never received, could it be that Marcus didn't notify me on purpose? , are you planning to kick me out of the team?"

To be honest, Dudley has always had little interest in sports like Quidditch. In Dudley's eyes, this kind of dazzling sport that flies around is not as good as football in the Muggle world.

Besides, Quidditch actually requires players to bring their own broomsticks. Broomsticks are not like sneakers, and there is a clear performance gap.Although he also relied on dragon roar to cheat and play games, Dudley always felt that there was nothing fair in Quidditch.

"Don't you have any sense of honor? Get up quickly. You were specially recruited by me to join the team. It affects the reputation of me and the college." Snape lifted Dudley's quilt with all his strength. "And the whole school is looking forward to your performance on the court this school year."

"Okay, okay, won't it be over if I go?" Dudley could only slowly put away the magazine in his hand, reluctantly got up and put on his robe.

"The Quibbler? Why are you reading a magazine like this?" Snape flipped through it and threw it back on the bed with a look of disdain. "You should know that what is written in it is basically nonsense."

"If Luna hears what you say, you will probably lose your temper even if you are a teacher." Dudley suddenly remembered something and asked Snape: "By the way, I saw it said that Gringotts was stolen again. News, and it was related to Sirius Black——"

Valley</span> "Nonsense, that bastard is still in Azkaban and hasn't come out yet." Hearing Sirius's name, Snape snorted with disgust, "I don't know why Dumbledore is so I arbitrarily believe that he is not guilty. Even if the body of Peter Pettigrew is found, it does not mean that Black guy is innocent..."

Seeing Snape constantly blaming Sirius Black's crimes like a lit firecracker, Dudley remembered that Sirius Black had been the perpetrator of bullying against Snape with James Potter before, and he was quite accurate. It was a thunderbolt.

"...Besides, I think if we interrogate him a few more times, we might be able to find out other crimes against him. There's no harm in keeping him in Azkaban for a while."

Snape scolded Sirius Black for almost five minutes before he stopped, panting heavily, and seemed to still have some unfinished thoughts.

"So what the magazine said was just catching wind and shadow." Dudley shrugged and said, "The prisoner who broke into Gringotts again has not been found?"

"If you really want to say it, it's not groundless." Snape frowned and whispered to Dudley, "In fact, from the information we have learned, it is not completely unrelated to Black."

"Actually, it may not be appropriate to say it's a prisoner, because Gringotts has actually withdrawn the report. According to the goblins later, they thought it was an intrusion at first, but in the end they discovered that the intruder was actually the owner of the vault. It’s just disguise magic.”

"You are obviously the owner of the vault, but you still have to disguise yourself?" Dudley said doubtfully, "This is too strange, unless the owner of the vault has a reason not to show up, for example -"

"Fugitive, we think so too." Snape said solemnly, "Dumbledore felt that there was something fishy about this matter, so he contacted people from the Ministry of Magic to learn about the situation. The last news we found was that this case The treasury involved belongs to members of one of the oldest wizarding families - the Black family."

Dudley's pupils shrank slightly, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.

"As we all know, after Regulus Black betrayed the Death Eaters and died, the last male was Sirius Black." Snape said slowly, "But in fact, he still has Several distant female relatives.”

"Bellatrix Lestrange, and Narcissa Malfoy, right?" Dudley said in a deep voice.

Snape looked at Dudley in surprise, and then nodded slowly: "I have tested Narcissa. She had an alibi at the time, and she had no reason to hide her identity."

"So Bellatrix became the biggest suspect. The problem is that Azkaban did not admit that they had a fugitive, so Dumbledore had to make a request to see Bellatrix."

"But this request was not realized in the end - because Azkaban told us that just a few days before the Gringotts incident, Bellatrix died of a serious illness due to acute dragon pox, and Azkaban Ben had her body cremated in a hurry to avoid contagion from dragon pox."

Dudley took a breath and looked at Snape, who nodded gloomily: "Yes, judging from the current intelligence, there is a high probability that Bellatrix has successfully escaped from prison. ”
