Chapter 246 Snape Joins the Arrest Team! Suspicions From the Past!
"Mr. Grindelwald, if you don't speak up, I'll think someone has put a tongue lock on you."
Snape has no intention of stopping.
Lupin gritted his teeth and picked up the wand again, ready to fight.
When they were all in school, Snape would never win so easily.
Unfortunately, Snape has been studying and researching magic over the years. Even if part of his energy is devoted to potions, he is much better than Lupin who is busy working all day.
"Argus, go find Principal Dumbledore, I'll stop him for you!"
Lupin was ready to risk his life to stop Snape for Argus.
Argus shook his head helplessly: "Professor Lupin, I haven't finished yet, it shouldn't be like this, right?"
He looked at Snape. He continued: "Professor, you should be very familiar with the evidence."
"Professor Lupin is also familiar with it."
"Speak!" Snape's eyelids slightly raised.
The wand in his hand was still pointed at Lupin.
"Marauder's Map!"
"After I learned that Ron's rat Scabbers was Peter, I made a special observation."
"I found that Peter Pettigrew's name often overlaps with Ron's."
"Professor Snape should know the effect and origin of this thing better than me."
Lupin looked embarrassed.
This thing was made by Sirius after he read the family books and added the various channels and tracking spells they explored.
The original purpose was to deal with Snape.
I didn't expect that I would have to rely on this thing to prove my innocence to Snape in the end.
"Where's the map?" Snape was not a person who acted on impulse, and he stretched out his hand to ask Argus for the map.
"Here, I always carry it with me." Argus took out the Marauder's Map from his pocket and threw it to Snape.
Snape took it with one hand, but did not mean to open it to check.
"Now, can you put down your wands, Professor Snape?"
"I know that a map alone cannot prove everything."
"But at least, we can be sure that Sirius might not have betrayed James and Lily."
"Professor, to be fair, you should believe in the feelings between James and Sirius more than I do."
Snape took a deep breath and put away his wand.
Recalling the scene when he first met Lupin at St. Mungo's Hospital.
A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"His Animagus is a black dog? It really suits him!"
"Where is he hiding now?"
"Professor, what we should do is to catch Peter Pettigrew first."
Argus didn't dare to tell Snape the location of Sirius.
Lupin was a professor called by Dumbledore after all. At most, he was an accomplice back then, and he cheered more.
Sirius was the real mastermind!
A wanted criminal and a prison escapee again!
With Snape's temper, if he knew Sirius's whereabouts, he would be tortured to death!
Argus glanced at Lupin and sighed slightly.
Snape already knew that Sirius and Lupin were in contact, and he also knew that Lupin and himself helped him hide.
With his ability, it was only a matter of time before he found out Sirius's location.
"What do you have in mind?"
"If I'm not mistaken, there are two people with heads full of sphinxes who have been catching them for several months, right?"
Lupin had a good temper. If it was Sirius, he would have beaten him countless times after hearing what Snape said.
Facing Snape's ridicule, Lupin just pretended not to hear it.
The two of them had indeed been catching them for several months, and they had indeed not even found a shadow.
He didn't have the guts to say anything even when he was scolded.
"If you are willing to participate in the capture, it will be much easier."
"I originally wanted to rely on the saints to ambush in Hogsmeade Village, but unfortunately Sirius showed up in Hogsmeade Village, and Peter should not dare to go there."
"The capture location is set in Hogwarts. I will be responsible for the pursuit, and you will be responsible for cutting off the retreat."
"Professor Lupin should not rush to show up, so as not to alert Peter."
"He dared to use the explosion and kill more than a dozen Muggles to make a living for himself, and he would definitely dare to use the lives of the little wizards in Hogwarts as a price to threaten our capture."
"So, we only have one chance!"
Agus told the two of them his plan in detail.
It's called a plan, but it's actually just a double act between him and Peter Pettigrew.
Up to now, Agus's goal can only be said to be half completed.
The next one is the key.
The few people discussed the specific details of the follow-up in detail until it was close to dinner time.
Lupin left first with the potion.
After he left, Snape's expression became much more dangerous.
"Mr. Grindelwald, although I don't know what price Sirius offered you."
"But I advise you that this matter is not something that a third-year wizard like you can participate in."
"Follow-up, I will talk to Dumbledore..."
"Dumbledore?" Argus sneered and found a seat to sit down.
"You should be more familiar with dark magic than me."
"You don't really believe that Harry has the so-called magic of love, do you?"
"Ms. Lily Evans is just a Muggle, where did she learn this complicated dark magic?"
"The Black family? Even if there is really there, it is impossible for her to learn it."
Snape fell into deep thought, his eyes dim and unclear.
"I have a similar magic, I believe you will be very interested." Argus continued.
"Back then, Headmaster Dumbledore and my father made a blood pact, an ancient magic similar to a contract."
"Two people who made a blood pact will not be able to harm each other."
"Is it similar to the magic of love of Ms. Lily Evans?"
Snape remained silent.
Agus smiled slightly: "Then I will change the question."
"How did Voldemort know the prophecy? And why was he sure that Harry was the person in the prophecy?"
Snape's body froze.
He seemed to be lost in memories, and his body couldn't stop shaking.
He even couldn't stand steadily.
After a long time, he spoke in a hoarse voice.
"It was me... I overheard the prophecy and told that person."
"At that time, it was at the Hog's Head Inn, Dumbledore was interviewing Trelawney, and Trelawney made the prophecy."
"I only heard half of it, and was kicked out by the bar owner."
Agus chuckled: "You mean, you overheard the most important prophecy of the year in front of the greatest white wizard of this century."
"And what he did was just let the boss, or his brother, kick you out, right?"
