Chapter 429: The Sorting Hat is really good at reading people
Just as a few people were about to enter the auditorium, Kyle stopped. He looked at Fred and George next to him and suddenly asked: "Do you have the Marauder's Map with you?"
"Of course." Fred took out a piece of parchment from his pocket, "We always carry this with us, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, can you lend it to me?" Kyle said, "I might need it."
"Just take it." Fred didn't care. He handed the Marauder's Map to Kyle and walked towards the Gryffindor table.
"We still have a lot of ideas, but it's too late today. Let's talk about it next time." George said and hurriedly followed.
If it were normal times, they might also be curious about Kyle's plans, whether he wanted to go on a night trip. But now, the two of them, who had been hungry for a long time, just wanted to eat something quickly, even if it was just a cold boiled potato.
Kyle put away the Marauder's Map and went to the Hufflepuff table on the other side.
…
After dinner, Kyle went directly back to the dormitory. At the same time, he opened the Marauder's Map and carefully looked at the names coming and going on it.
There was less than a week left before the school holidays. He didn't know what Sirius Black was thinking, but if he wanted to catch Peter, this week would be his last time.
Of course, he could also wait until the holidays. There are no dementors in St. Catchpole Village, and there are no Dumbledore or professors. It would definitely be safer to do it there than in the castle... As long as Weasley takes advantage of the opportunity. Just do it when the lady is out.
Or, like Peter, pretend to be an ordinary pet and sneak in.
But Kyle felt that he should not have such patience, and St. Catchpole Village was not close to Hogwarts. If Black didn't know the way, Hogwarts would probably have started by the time he found it.
Kyle looked at the map, but nothing seemed out of the ordinary until it was almost time for curfew, and Ron stayed well in the common room.
"Maybe not today." Kyle moved his stiff neck.
But just when he was about to put away the Marauder's Map, he accidentally saw Professor Lupine leaving his office.
Thinking of Professor Lupine's strange behavior before, Kyle's movements stopped immediately. He wanted to see what the other party was going to do.
On the map, Professor Lupine made his way to the eighth floor, to the door of the Gryffindor common room, and the names of Ron, Harry, and Hermione began to move towards him.
About a few minutes later, Professor Lupine left, and this time there was another name beside him, Peter Pettigrew.
Has he met Blake?
"This should be…"
Kyle quickly thought that Lupine had been running to Hogsmeade recently, and the reason was definitely not because he was pursuing Ms. Rosmerta of the Three Broomsticks as spread in the school... He was looking for Sirius Black.
As a former best friend, Professor Lupine must know where Black would hide if he were nearby.
Hogsmeade is so big, and if you have been looking for it for so long, you will definitely be able to find it.
At the same time, he should also know from the other party that Ron's mouse is Peter Pettigrew.
Now, he should be preparing to confront Black.
Thinking of this, Kyle closed the Marauder's Map.
Just when he was thinking about how to get rid of Mikel and Ryan, the two happened to discuss going outside to play a game of Gobstone.
After they left, Kyle also cast a disembodiment spell on himself and walked out of the dormitory.
He had to get there quickly, otherwise Professor Lupine and Black would probably fight.
The common room was bustling with activity. Even if the door suddenly opened, no one cared. They just thought it was someone going to the kitchen to get something to eat.
Only Kangna, who was sitting in the corner, turned her head and looked at the empty passage, with a flash of thought in her eyes.
On the other side, when Kyle came to the foyer, Professor Lupine just walked out of the castle gate. He walked very quickly, still looking worried... He didn't even notice that half of his arm was floating not far behind him.
“He left the castle.”
Ron's anxious voice came from the empty foyer, "Does it require leaving the castle to treat pets? Shouldn't he..."
"Hush, Ron!" said Hermione, "or we'll be discovered. Follow us!"
As he spoke, the half arm also floated out of the door.
No need to guess, it must be Harry, Hermione, and Ron. Because the invisibility cloak could not completely cover the three people, half of their arms were exposed.
Then, a very interesting picture appeared outside the castle.
Professor Lupine walked in front with a hurried look, followed by half an arm, and Kyle followed half an arm...
When Professor Lupine arrived near the Whomping Willow, a **** dog suddenly jumped out from the side, staring at the struggling mouse in his hand with a pair of cold eyes.
“You shouldn’t be here, go back!” Professor Lupine shouted sternly.
The big dog roared a few times, and the next second, its body twisted and turned into a thin man.
"I can't wait any longer..." he said hoarsely, "Remus, I've been waiting for twelve years, in Azkaban..."
“No, we must…”
"Oh it's you!"
In Kyle's disbelieving gaze, the three people in front of him emerged directly from the invisibility cloak.
Harry pointed at Professor Lupin and shouted loudly: "It was you who helped Black sneak into the castle, both times! You are his accomplice!"
“I trust you so much!” Hermione was also shaking with anger.
Ron even rushed forward desperately, "Hurry up and give me back Banban!"
“I’ve learned a lot.” Kyle muttered softly.
Knowing that the other person is an extremely dangerous person, they don't hide it honestly. Instead, they directly take off their disguises and choose to confront them... These three people are truly Gryffindors. The Sorting Hat is really good at judging people.
This is Sirius Black... If it were someone else, such as Barty Jr. or Bellatrix, the three of them would probably have to stay with the Whomping Willow forever.
However, the sudden appearance of Harry and others still startled Professor Lupin. While he was dazed, Black snatched the mouse from his hand, turned around and got into the tree hole under the Whomping Willow. .
“Sirius, come back!” Professor Lupine reacted and immediately chased after him.
“Scabbers!” Ron followed closely.
"Ron..." This is Harry and Hermione.
In just a blink of an eye, Kyle was the only one left on the field.
"The Sorting Hat is really good at reading people..." Kyle muttered again before walking to the Whomping Willow.
The originally irritable Whomping Willow was unusually quiet at this time. Kyle's expression moved, looking at the leafy branches, he finally resisted the temptation and jumped into the tree hole without looking back.
Forget it, now is not the time. Let’s talk about it later.
