The Strongest Badger at Hogwarts

Chapter 242 The Unbreakable Oath (2 in 1)

In the cluttered open space, Link stood with a gloomy expression on his face.

Blake's escape made him feel extremely bad.

The Dementor, who is very sensitive to human emotions, has already fled at this moment, and does not want to anger the current Link.

Even Arkham and Yo-Yo, who were closest to Link in the past, secretly made excuses to go to the Beating Willow.

After a long time, Link took a deep breath and turned to look at Hogwarts Castle behind him.

Although the battle just now was very fierce, he still sensed that the dark shadow that rescued Blake was flying out of the castle with the help of the super-sensation spell.

Obviously, this is a traitor hidden in Hogwarts, and his strength is not bad.

As for why the Dementors suddenly appeared here.

This question is also well answered.

"Hiss!~" (Link, we caught a cat in the Punching Willow!)

Arkham climbed up Link's thigh as if asking for credit, while the yo-yo beside it was flying in the air, and Hermione's Crookshank was still in his claws.

Apparently, the dementors were drawn by this cat.

As to why it was helping Black, only God knows.

Maybe for love?

Link couldn't help but have such an idea.

Link glanced at the ugly ginger cat, nodded and said:

"Good job."

After saying that, he picked up Crook Mountain with one hand and walked towards Hogwarts Castle.

At this moment, the Hogwarts Castle was already brightly lit, and everyone gathered in the auditorium again under Dumbledore's order.

Link caught everyone's attention as soon as he entered the hall, and Dumbledore and the other professors walked up directly.

For no other reason, the professors have been looking for him as a missing person for a long time.

"Link! Where have you been?"

Professor Sprout took the brunt of the brunt and jumped up and grabbed Link as he spoke. While speaking, he repeatedly touched Link's body to check if he was injured.

Link didn't resist, he threw Crookshank into the auditorium and let Professor Sprout inspect it.

At the same time, he turned his head and explained to Dumbledore:

"Black infiltrated Hogwarts and attacked me, I was going after him."

As soon as Link said this, the crowd in the auditorium exclaimed.

The faces of the professors changed suddenly.

Professor McGonagall looked back at the excited students, instinctively felt that this was not a good place to ask questions, and immediately proposed to bring Link back to the office to ask questions.

It's just that before she could really speak, Snape on the side couldn't wait to say:

"So did you catch him?!"

"It was almost," Link turned his head and looked at Snape, "a mysterious man shrouded in darkness rescued him."

"who's that person!"

Snape became more excited, and took two steps forward to question.

"Snape!"

"Severus!"

The moment Snape spoke, Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall stopped him.

Then Dumbledore looked back at the crowd that was already gathering towards them, and then continued:

"Go back to my office and continue talking."

After saying that, he did not wait for Snape to nod before returning to the principal's room on the eighth floor with Link and the other professors.

Dumbledore's office was the same as it was the last time Link came, the only difference being that Harry and Ron were also inside.

When everyone entered the door, the two of them were arguing with the portraits of the former headmasters on the wall, and they gave up after discovering Dumbledore.

"Harry, Ron, you can go back to rest first."

"Ah? But..."

Listening to Dumbledore's instructions, Harry stammered, obviously reluctant.

Especially Ron, who has been winking at Link with concerned eyes, as if asking why Link was brought here by such a professor.

Just facing Dumbledore, the two of them obviously did not have the right to refuse, and they were eventually kicked out.

And it was not until this time that Dumbledore finally sat behind his eagle-footed table and said to Link:

"It wasn't just you who was attacked by Black tonight, but Harry and Ron. Ron woke up in the middle of the night to find that Black was holding a sharp knife ready to kill him. Fortunately, Black eventually retreated for no reason."

Link nodded expressionlessly, and what Dumbledore said was similar to what he had guessed.

The only problem with the information that Dumbledore knew was that Black didn't intend to kill Ron and Harry at all. His real target was the rat, Peter Pettigrew, who was sleeping in Ron's arms.

After initially explaining the situation, Dumbledore finally got to the point and said with a serious face:

"Then it's your turn now, tell me Link, what are the characteristics of the mysterious man who rescued Sirius Black?"

"He was shrouded in black mist at the time, and I didn't even see a single hair of his."

When Link said this, everyone present looked disappointed.

But at this moment, Link changed the subject:

"But if I'm not wrong, it should be Professor Lupin."

This time everyone was excited again, especially Snape.

Dumbledore raised his hand to stabilize the scene and said:

"Why do you say that?"

"Lupin, Sirius, Pettigrew, and Harry's father, James Potter, were very good friends when they were students. Wouldn't it make sense that they would help each other?"

"But Sirius betrayed Mr. and Mrs. James, and it's impossible for Remus to help such a traitor!"

Hearing this, Link grinned.

Of course he couldn't tell that the real traitor was Peter Pettigrew, because he couldn't explain how he knew about it.

But that doesn't mean he can't prove it was Sirius that Lupin rescued.

"We don't need to argue about these things," Link laughed. "If you want to know if it's Lupin, just go and see if he's still in Hogwarts."

As soon as Link said this, Snape rushed out of the office without waiting for Dumbledore's orders.

And Dumbledore and other professors also fell silent when they saw this, waiting silently.

After a while, Snape returned.

"Lupin is gone!"

He first announced the result, then looked at Dumbledore with those deep pool-like eyes, and said angrily:

"I told you a long time ago that Lupin's cub must not be allowed into Hogwarts! Is it all right now? Sirius Black's mole on our side! Dumbledore! You must Take responsibility for this!"

After speaking, Snape slammed the door and left, leaving only the expressionless Dumbledore and the silent professors.

Professor McGonagall took a few steps forward to comfort Dumbledore, but Dumbledore shook his head in refusal.

Then he looked at Link and said calmly:

"Link, you should go back and rest first. We will handle this matter."

Link did not refuse, but nodded and saluted and left quickly.

He went back to Hogwarts Castle this time to find out if Lupin was still at school, in order to prove his guess.

Now that the goal is achieved, it is natural to do serious things.

The so-called serious business is to start the action to arrest Black in advance.

After all, Black obviously knew the secret of his body's past, so Link didn't need to make deals with Snape and the others.

It was just that Link had just come downstairs when he saw Snape standing in the shadow of the corner.

The other party didn't speak, he just poked his head expressionlessly, and then walked into the unmanned classroom on his own.

Seeing this, Link chuckled lightly and followed.

If Snape wanted to continue trading with him, he would not refuse.

At that time, it can also be used as a reference with Blake's version.

...

In the unmanned classroom where the Mirror of Erised was originally placed, Link and Snape stood opposite each other.

At this time, Snape had returned to his usual calm demeanor, apparently using Occlumency.

"I need you to catch Blake."

Without the slightest politeness, Snape immediately stated his purpose.

Out of respect for Professor Snape, Link did not chuckle back as he did in the past, but also activated Occlumency, and said expressionlessly:

"Of course I can do that, and my lovely hounds can't wait."

Link changed his words, "Just, shouldn't you also tell me the things I want to know now?"

Hearing that, Snape was silent, and after a while, he said coldly:

"Sorry, I can't tell."

"Huh!" Link moved his neck and sighed, "Then you just want to prostitute for nothing."

"Free prostitution? An apt metaphor, but I wouldn't do such a thing."

Snape said, and took out a black notebook as thick as a dictionary from his robe pocket and said, "This is a note summarizing all the potion recipes and experiments I have recorded over the past twenty years.

You've been studying potions with me for so long, and you should be well aware of its value.

I can give it to you now, if you promise me to catch Sirius Black. "

Snape's words nearly broke Link's Occlumency.

In the magical world, knowledge is power is not a simple chicken soup for the soul, but something that can be seen and felt.

In theory, people should learn more spontaneously and become stronger in a knowledge system with a stronger sense of feedback.

But such a strange phenomenon often occurs in the wizarding world.

That is, for many wizards at the bottom of society, the moment they graduate from school is already the peak of their personal strength.

In the future, the strength of most wizards will not only not improve, but will gradually decrease with the aging of the body.

Many people who are new to the magic world will think that this is due to the limited talent of these wizards, or the lack of hard work.

But is this really the case?

Not at all!

The reason why these people cannot improve their strength is that all kinds of advanced knowledge of magic spells and potions (xx data) are monopolized by the Ministry of Magic and various big families!

People will not teach you to learn for no reason!

Take the phantom body spell and advanced potion knowledge as examples.

Ordinary little wizards generally have only one opportunity to learn the above two kinds of knowledge in their lifetime.

Among them, the Phantom Spell requires you to obtain at least 10 courses of N.E.W.T. outstanding transcripts when you graduate, and then join the Ministry of Magic and pass Auror training before you can learn it. The difficulty is comparable to thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge.

For advanced potions knowledge, you need to get at least an 'beyond expected' grade in the Potions O.W.L. exam before you can continue to take Snape's advanced potions class in your senior year.

With such a high degree of difficulty, most people cannot do it.

And in such a closed environment, the notebook Snape was holding was even more precious.

This is the lifelong learning of a potions master!

Putting such a notebook outside will definitely make all potions go crazy.

Everyone knows that as long as you can get it, even if you don't understand the profound knowledge above, you can become a leader among potionists just based on the potion formulas in it!

It's just that Link gradually calmed down after being excited for a while.

He was surprised to find that if he really took over this notebook, the nature of this transaction had changed from a forced pursuit of the truth to a coercive exchange of interests.

This will greatly hurt his relationship with Snape!

To be fair, Link really didn't want that.

Because Snape was really nice to him.

Whether it was teaching him that he was invincible or standing out for him at critical moments, Snape basically did the best he could.

In the face of such an elder, Link really didn't want to hurt his heart.

So, after struggling for a long time, Link, who often calls himself a refined egoist, sighed and said softly:

"Sorry, I can't have it."

"why!"

Snape was furious, and he clenched his fists a little awkwardly and said, "I really can't tell you if you want the truth! Dumbledore and I made an 'unbreakable oath' at the beginning!"

Snape stepped forward again and forcibly stuffed the note into Link's arms and said:

"This is the best thing I can give! Take it away, and grab that rubbish Sirius Black! You, for the sake of our teachers and students!"

Speaking of which, Snape's Occlumency could no longer be sustained.

What he said was the lowest gesture he could put on.

Hearing that, Link closed his eyes in pain.

Because he found out that he had been tricked!

Unbreakable oath, an extremely rare wizard contract.

Violators will be killed immediately!

With such a terrifying oath, Snape and Dumbledore certainly couldn't tell him anything.

"Why didn't you say it earlier? If you say it earlier, nothing will happen? Look at what you are doing now, isn't this a waste of my feelings?"

Link tugged at his hair and complained.

However, the expression on Snape's face was a little dull, as if he hadn't reacted.

"Oh! Don't say anything, I'll catch Sirius Black." Upon seeing this, Link sighed, "Of course, I'm not for this book, but because Professor Snape you begged me just now. ."

"Who, who is begging you! Are your ears deaf from the bite of Hu Meizi?"

Snape cursed angrily.

Link also closed his mouth at the right time.

Because he knew that an arrogant person like Snape would really beat people if he kept making fun of him.

With a grin and a grin, Link was about to stuff the notes into the seamless stretch pocket.

At this moment, Snape suddenly grabbed Link's hand and said angrily:

"Don't you want it?"

Hearing this, Link also raised his face and asked:

"Why, some people didn't give me Christmas presents this year. Shouldn't there be some compensation?"
