A Certain Hogwarts Magician Professor

a few minutes ago--

The atmosphere in the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's office was tense.

Snape pointed his wand at Lupin, his eyes shone strangely, and he whispered, "What are you hiding?"

Next to a desk, Lupin, also holding a wand, said with a sigh, "It was you who appeared out of nowhere and startled me."

"yes……?"

Snape's eyes fell on Lupin's feet, where there was a palm-sized knight's armor, and his scarlet eyes kept staring at him, thinking of the previous guess, he had a strong desire, why didn't he find a chance to step on it Flat, it's really annoying...

"The armor is flying!"

He pointed his wand at it, but the next second, Lupin swiftly interrupted his spell: "I can't let you do this, Severus."

Snape's eyes became dangerous, he took a few steps to the side, and Lupin came a few steps, the two always facing each other.

"I told Dumbledore long ago," Snape said slowly, "there's a mole at Hogwarts."

Lupin said eagerly, "Use your head, Severus, it's not quite what you think it is, why don't you go to Professor Hepp and ask."

"Give him to me!"

"I don't think so," Lupin said, and suddenly a thick snake-like rope flew out from the tip of Snape's wand. Lupin stabbed a section of the rope with precision, and the rope fell hard and broke into five or six pieces.

"He's probably innocent, think about it, where did I get him, I can go with you to prove it."

Snape said murderously, "You want to prove his innocence? Give him to me and I'll see for myself—"

"Severus, you're obsessed, there's something you don't know, we think -- Dumbledore knows, too, that kid named Ron has a problem with his pet rat!"

Lupin avoided a spell, and the bottle in the office burst open with a bang.

"It's time to tell the story, Lupin? There's not enough time, you have to speed up." Snape shook out a black mist, quickly converging into a dozen chirping birds, stabbing his arms like sharp swords. , the black birds shot a salvo at Lupin.

"You incorporate black magic into regular spells?" Lupin said in surprise. His movements were also very agile, and he had more access to these dark spells than the average person, but instead of learning them, he studied how to resist them.

He swung his wand violently, and the parchment papers on the table flew "squeaky", forming a solid wall in front of him, with black birds clinging to it, flapping their wings desperately, struggling to turn into plumes of black smoke.

The black smoke gathered together and turned into a large snake, with its head raised high against the ceiling, and then its head suddenly fell.

The serpent overwhelmed Lupin's defense. He picked up the 'Knight' and threw it out of the office window, "Go find Professor Hepp!" He threw himself to the side to avoid the serpent.

"Om~"

The entire office trembled, and the tables, chairs, cabinets and cabinets in the room jumped together.

"Blackfly—"

"laugh!"

A red light wiped Snape's cheek and hit the filing cabinet behind him, and Lupin stood up from the dusty floor, "You can't be allowed to do that, fool, I've wanted to fight you for a long time. ."

There was a smile on Snape's face, but no one would think it was a gesture of kindness. "Is it? No longer pretending to be a good guy? A tamed werewolf?"

"I've never disguised - armor and bodyguards!"

Lupin blocked a faint blue suspicious spell, the reason was no longer clear, he waved his wand, the red light continued, Snape's wand waved again and again, flying these spells one by one, he took two steps back, the wand Stab straight out—

"Shen Feng has no shadow!"

"Whoosh!"

Rows of wooden boxes were neatly cut open, Lupin hurriedly avoided, a slight wound cut his cheek, "This spell... Impressive!"

With a flick of his wand, Snape hurriedly propped up the invisible barrier, and the spell deflected and struck a locked box.

"Don't!" Lupin exclaimed.

A red-haired woman came out, "Sev, why..."

Snape's eyes widened, he staggered back, his wand slipped from his hand, and his body flinched, "No, no..."

"why……"

Lupin stood in front of Snape in a panic, and the vision in front of him disappeared, turning into a full moon, he sighed complicatedly, and raised his wand for a long time: "Funny slip-"

"boom!"

The full moon exploded abruptly, shattering into pieces, and Lupin turned back in astonishment to see Snape holding his wand expressionlessly.

"Remus Lupin!" he said through gritted teeth.

"Severus, that was an accident. Boggart practiced the Patronus Charm for Harry." Lupin stepped back cautiously, Snape's state was not right.

"laugh!"

Violent flames set the office on fire, set everything on fire, Snape waved his wand with messy hair, Lupin retreated, and he could only hold on, using stun spells between Snape's attacks.

"What's going on here? Oh my God!"

A cheerful female voice appeared at the door, and Lupin only saw the person who came had bubblegum pink hair, but then she was knocked away by a stun spell and disappeared from sight.

"Snape, stop, someone's hurt!"

But Snape made a rare gaffe. He turned a deaf ear to Lupin's shouts, and the spells became stronger and stronger, and he recklessly used strange black magic, and a black light appeared on his face.

Lupin lost his grip, and Snape waved his wand grimly.

At this moment, a crisp chirping sound suddenly appeared, and a silver swift condensed in mid-air, cutting the battlefield into two halves.

"Severus, Professor Lupin, please stop..."

A black spell flew over, and the silver swift fluttered its wings slightly, dodging the attack, "Severus, you—"

"Go away!"

Lupin hurriedly said, "Snape hit the box where I kept Boggart, and got out of it—"

"Shut up! Mouth! Lupin!"

Snape interrupted him furiously, he was brewing a terrible magic, and the room began to tremble, the ground rapidly corroding outwards around him.

The Swift Patronus swelled suddenly, and white light bloomed from its body, and the dazzling halos spread like huge ripples, and Snape's unformed magic made a sizzling sound, bursting at the junction A dark red electric light appeared, and the two sides of the junction were diametrically opposed worlds, with corrosion and darkness on one side, and warmth and light on the other.

A gentle voice came from the Swift Patronus, "Severus, calm down."

Lupin hurriedly said: "Severus, we have found a new clue, Peter Pettigrew is not dead, he is still alive, he directed and acted everything!"

Snape seemed to wake up, he took the initiative to release the magic, the light of the Patronus spread to him, constantly washing the black gas on his face, he leaned against the wall and sat down slowly.

Swift's patron saint left a sentence, "I'll be right here." It turned into a little blue and white star.

After a while, Felix appeared in the office, most of the room was destroyed, a small half of the furniture was corroded, the other half was still burning with small flames, a row of wooden boxes were neatly cut, and the cuts were as smooth as a mirror.

"Cyclone clean up!" The smoke and dust in the room were taken away, and the flames went out.

Snape sat leaning against the wall, staring at the ceiling motionless, his black eyes like stones, without any distance in his eyes. Lupin was caring for a comatose young woman, and he glanced at it, and it turned out to be Tonks.

Felix frowned, this is a real fire, because Sirius Black? He looked around and didn't see Sirius in the knight tin. He wasn't going to be killed, was he?

Snape had no intention of communicating with people at all, he could only walk up to Professor Lupin, "How could it be like this?"

Lupin said with a wry smile, "It's all accidents, a series of accidents."

Felix looked at Tonks on the sofa, "Why is she here?"

"I don't know. It seems that he ran out suddenly. Maybe he wanted to persuade the fight? I was stunned by my stun spell..."

"Just a stun spell?" Felix looked at Tonks' face, she didn't mean to be sober at all.

"She's fine," Lupin explained. "I didn't dispel the magic, and it's really inappropriate in this situation... I can't take her to the school hospital either."

If he unlocks the stun spell, Tonks is bound to see the scene of the two Hogwarts professors fighting each other. Although he has seen it, it is easy to involve Sirius; if she is taken to the school hospital, He was worried that something was wrong on Snape's side again, so he had to let her go first.

"Understood," Felix added another stun spell to Tonks. "Send her directly to the school hospital in a while without saying anything."

Felix picked a chair with a cut back and sat down, gave Lupin a look and raised the volume, "Professor Lupin, explain, what happened, didn't you tell Severus, Is Peter Pettigrew the culprit?"

He mouthed, motioning Lupin to pull on Peter Pettigrew.

Lupin understood it, and he said as much as possible: "On the day of school after the Christmas break, in the staff lounge next to the auditorium, we and Headmaster Dumbledore speculated that there was a huge doubt about the murder of James and Lily, because Sirius had Good chance to kill Harry, but he didn't, his target was Harry's friend, Ron Weasley."

"I don't remember exactly," Felix said.

"Then let me explain - Sirius Black is Animagus, he can be a big black dog, in the same way James can be a stag and Peter Pettigrew can be a mouse ," Lupin said mockingly, "they were there to stay with me at the full moon, a werewolf."

"In this case, the reason for Black's escape from Azkaban is clear, but why did he attack Ron Weasley?" Felix continued to ask, and Snape's eyes rolled in the corner of his eye.

"Ron had a mouse, to be precise, their house, and the mouse suddenly appeared in the Weasleys' house and stayed there for twelve years, until Sirius attacked during the holiday and disappeared. But we saw an image of it exactly like Peter Pettigrew's Animagus!"

"So, he didn't die? The recipient of the First Class Merlin Medal, the war hero, Peter Pettigrew, not only didn't die, but went incognito and hid in a wizarding family as a pet?"

Lupin looked at Felix strangely, but he could only follow his words: "Yes, this is the biggest doubt, so we suspect that there is something else hidden. Professor Hepp, how can Sirius be in your hands? Turned into a magic puppet?"

"I caught him, and then we - Dumbledore and I planned to set up a game to lead out Peter Pettigrew, and you would definitely help us at that time, so the secrecy was temporary," Felix explained.

Lupin anxiously asked the biggest question in his heart, hoping to get an answer: "So, Sirius is innocent? But he is the keeper of the James family, and the Faithful Charm cannot be cracked at all, just like an unbreakable oath. , if he is innocent..."

"You didn't ask him?"

"Did not have time."

"Okay," Felix thought for a while, and decided to take this opportunity to explain clearly, and this was also addressed to Snape, "because the secrecy has been changed, Sirius thought he was too conspicuous, and kept the secrecy in private. For the humble Peter Pettigrew."

"So it is," Lupin murmured. "At that time, news of the actions in the Order of the Phoenix was leaked many times. Everyone suspected that there were traitors, and people were panicked."

"So—" Snape stood up, "is Peter Pettigrew the real Voldemort undercover?"

Lupin looked at Snape in astonishment. He called Voldemort by name, and his suspicions disappeared. You know, when Dumbledore tried to save Snape, he was still shocked.

Snape said nonchalantly, "Swap secrecy? Stupid!"

"Severus..."

But he ignored Lupin and limped away, saying, "As for Peter Pettigrew...what needs me to do, let Felix tell me."

Lupin opened and closed his mouth, saying nothing, watching him leave quietly.

"Leave him alone," Felix said, looking around. "You're hitting too hard." In the whole room, there was no other place to stay except the sofa where Tonks was lying. place.

"Oh, it's all an accident..." Lupin sighed, he sighed too many times today.

"This office is no longer available. You and Dumbledore discuss it and change it."

"That's the only way." Lupin said, fortunately, he released some magical creatures for teaching a few days ago, otherwise few would survive, and the only living creature, Boggart, was blown to pieces. , not even a wisp of blue smoke remained.

"By the way, where did you hide Sirius?" Felix asked.

Lupin was startled, he had long forgotten about it, "I threw him out of the window during the fight just now..." Looking at Felix's strange eyes, he said guiltyly: "I let him Look for you."

"Well, okay." Felix shrugged, "I hope it won't be picked up by some little wizard."
