Hogwarts Slytherin

Chapter 140 A fatal little joke

On the edge of the Forbidden Forest, next to the Whomping Willow.

With cold eyes, Reggie glanced at the Whomping Willow not far away.

He saw it.

Lupine was accompanied by Madam Pomfrey, and the two of them were standing next to the Whomping Willow.

After taking the potion from Madam Pomfrey, he watched her leave.

Tonight is another full moon night, and it looks like Lupine will have to spend another difficult night in the Shrieking Shack.

Shaking his head, Reggie was about to leave.

However, his eyes inadvertently caught a glimpse of a sneaky figure not far away.

there.

I saw it.

He squinted his eyes carefully to distinguish the green figure.

Lupine in the distance has already entered the secret passage under the Whomping Willow.

The sneaky figure looked behind him from time to time, moving towards the direction of the Whomping Willow.

is her.

Alecto Carlo!

"Why would she go to the Whomping Willow? On a full moon night like this?"

There was a werewolf just crawling in below.

But thinking about it, she couldn't control it - what? !

After a while, the arrogant Whomping Willow quieted down, and Reggie's eyes widened.

Apparently, she knows how to get through the Whomping Willow!

The Whomping Willow was planted by Dumbledore specifically for Lupin. Only he, Lupine and Madam Pomfrey knew how to use the Whomping Willow.

After Lupin's werewolf identity was discovered within the Marauders, three more people knew the secret.

But no matter what, Alecto Carlo couldn't know.

Then Reggie thought of what Sirius had overheard during the day: "Something good is happening at Hogwarts tonight."

He understood something instantly, and his expression became a little ugly.

Lupine below may have begun to transform, although he didn't know what reason Sirius used to trick Carlo into the Whomping Willow.

Looking at the moon, maybe Lupine is about to turn into a werewolf.

Even a pure-hearted person, a person who never forgets to pray at night, will inevitably transform into a wolf on a full moon night.

Werewolves cannot choose whether to transform, and they will forget their identity after transforming.

He would even find the right opportunity to kill his best friend.

What's even more tragic is that after they return to their human form, they can still recall everything they experienced during the entire transformation process.

The necessary condition for turning into a werewolf is to be bitten by a werewolf that transforms into a wolf during the full moon. Once the werewolf's saliva comes into contact with the victim's blood, infection will occur.

Therefore, if Alecto Carrow is bitten by Lupine, she will also turn into a werewolf.

For wizards, especially purebloods, this is simply a torture more cruel than death. In the UK, there has been no incident of purebloods being attacked by werewolves.

However, since Voldemort attracted the werewolves, some purebloods who refused to join the Death Eaters were attacked by werewolves.

Those people, without exception, chose to end their lives.

If wizards still have a choice, then most Muggles will die from their injuries when attacked by werewolves, and only a few will survive and become werewolves.

Carlo broke into the Shrieking Pon shack at this time. If Lupine hadn't completely transformed into a wolf and bit her, Carlo might have better luck.

First of all, congratulations to her for not completely turning into a werewolf. Secondly, she will have some werewolf characteristics in the future, such as liking to eat bloody meat.

Finally, any bite or scratch caused by a werewolf will leave permanent scars on the victim, no matter what form the werewolf was in at the time.

For Merlin's sake, if it's a witch who gets fucked on the face all of a sudden...

Reggie thought of Carlo's face... maybe a negative is a positive?

Meanwhile, the lounge.

"Why is Lily still ignoring me, Wormtail, do you think Snape is causing it?" James began to find the person responsible for Lily's bad attitude towards him again.

Peter nodded: "Maybe, after all, Evans seems to have a good relationship with him."

"By the way, Padfoot, what on earth do you think is going to happen tonight? It's already this time and I'm almost bored to death."

Sirius lay lazily on the sofa, flipping through the magic notebook casually, raising his eyebrows pretending to be profound, but did not reply.

"Brothers, let me tell you, since we have become proficient in transforming into Animagus form, why don't we go and accompany Moon Face tonight! When he comes out of the Whomping Willow and sees us, hahaha, he will definitely It will be very touching!”

"Someone will surprise Moon Face tonight before us." Sirius said lazily.

"Moon Face must be - what? Bigfoot - Sirius! What did you just say?" James looked at him in disbelief.

Facing the gazes of James and Peter, Sirius straightened up, pretended to cough, and said lightly: "I think someone is going to accompany Moony tonight, that Carlo from Slytherin."

James and Peter stared at him blankly. They were so shocked that they didn't speak for a while.

They understood the meaning behind Sirius's words, so they felt their scalps numb, and the hairs on their arms stood up to remind them how terrible this matter was.

"Sirius Black! Are you crazy!" James' voice was trembling uncontrollably and became sharp due to too much shock.

Sirius sneered: "Oh! You really sound like Wormtail when you talk like that."

After saying that, he even laughed heartlessly.

James choked. In fact, he never thought that one day he would be able to make such a sharp sound from his throat.

"Padfoot, you're kidding, right?" James was frightened and he yelled uncontrollably.

He suspected that Lily in the lounge on the other side could hear his collapse.

"I didn't. Since the little viper has always wanted to know our secret, I will tell her." Sirius still looked nonchalant. He didn't understand why his brothers were panicked and nervous. He even felt that the two of them were a little too nervous.

"What?! Did you tell her about Moon Face?!" Peter immediately covered his mouth after saying that.

Sirius gave him a strange look, "Of course not, Wormtail, do you think I would betray my brother? I just told her that there is Ravenclaw's treasure under the Whomping Willow, and of course there is a way through the Whomping Willow. .”

"I don't think it makes any difference! Padfoot! If she goes down, do you think the transformed Moon Face will avoid her?"

"Then let Moony Face give her some pain, so that she can learn to stay in the underground lounge honestly in the future and not always be full of bad ideas."

"Sirius, you are really crazy when you meet the dementors..." James shook his head repeatedly.

He rushed to the window and stretched his neck to look in the direction of the Whomping Willow, but he couldn't see anything!

Even the moon could not be seen from this angle, but there was no doubt that Lupine would transform tonight, it was just a matter of time.

Thinking that he knew too much about Sirius' ability to talk nonsense, James was almost certain that Carlo would rush to the Whomping Willow to find the Dementor's Ravenclaw treasure!

"What are you afraid of?" Sirius looked puzzled at the pale faces of the two of them. He even changed his position and continued to lie on the sofa. "Even if that nasty snake enters the Shrieking Shack. , there are only two consequences. Seeing a deformed moon face or an undeformed moon face. If he has not deformed, there is nothing to say. The worst is that he will be deducted points. If he encounters a deformed moon face, then the moon face will Your identity won’t be known, isn’t that a good idea?”

Alecto Carrow's meaningful threats were still ringing in Sirius' ears today.

This is what she asked for.

The Marauders all knew that Lupine was a werewolf, yes, even Reggie and the others knew that.

At first, Sirius was very reluctant to even tell Reggie the news that Lupine was a werewolf. He grew up in a paranoid pure-blood family, and he had a natural hostility towards all Slytherins.

only……

After such a long time, as the interactions between these people increased, there had never been any rumors about Lupine being related to werewolves or that there was a werewolf hiding in Gryffindor.

Gradually, Sirius lowered his inner guard against Reggie and the others.

But that doesn't mean that all Slytherins are like them.

In fact, they are the only exceptions.

Werewolves are a very terrifying existence in the magical world, especially given the current situation. Many werewolves have gathered under the mysterious man, and many vicious attacks have occurred.

If werewolves were avoided by everyone before, now they are almost talked about with disdain.

If Lupine's identity as a werewolf was revealed, not only would he face expulsion from Hogwarts, but Dumbledore's situation would also become very difficult.

"The Daily Prophet" and "Walpurgis Journal" will definitely print the entire front page: "Hogwarts, under the cover of the headmaster, Albus Dumbledore, actually hides a werewolf .”

This must not be known to anyone else.

Therefore, Sirius quickly set up such a trap for Alecto Carlo.

"Then have you ever thought about how Moony feels! Padfoot!"

He put on his robe, and it was like a gust of wind passing through the lounge.

As James ran quickly, he comforted himself in his heart: "It's okay, it's okay! That Carlo may have left when he saw something was wrong. Moon Face shouldn't have transformed so quickly. As long as he finds Carlo later, he can make her forget about Sirius. That being said, it’s still not too late.”

******

The Whomping Willow actually stopped moving.

"It seems that what Blake said is true." Alecto Carlo looked at the tunnel under the tree hole, and she believed in what Blake said more and more.

If there is no treasure, why would anyone go to all the trouble to build a secret passage under the Whomping Willow?

Greed made her almost lose all her sanity.

If she could calm down, she would see that everything Sirius said was full of holes.

Ravenclaw's treasure?

This lie is just too lame.

Simply vulnerable.

They are all third-year students, which means they all entered the school in the same year.

In their first year of admission, a strange thing happened at Hogwarts.

The students were surprised to find a magical tree on the edge of the Forbidden Forest at Hogwarts. Later they learned that it was called the Whomping Willow.

Not long before they entered school, the Whomping Willow had just been planted, and everything was prepared by Dumbledore for Lupin's enrollment.

There were also very few professors who knew that Lupine was a werewolf. Dumbledore fought against all the opinions and tried to keep it safe. In order to ensure the safety of other students, he planted the Whomping Willow so that the screen could be recorded before the full moon. Sent to the Shrieking Shack to transform.

As for Ravenclaw, as one of the Four Giants, a thousand years have passed since then.

How could her treasure be hidden under a whomping willow that was planted just over three years ago?

All I can say is that the treasure is touching.

In the face of huge temptation, people are always prone to losing their minds and only want to believe what they want to believe, while ignoring all objective facts.

"Dumbledore is really thoughtful."

Reggie praised it in his heart. Such a clever design, coupled with the fact that the Shrieking Shack had been specially selected early on and had long been rumored to be haunted, and the surrounding residents were already used to it. In addition, it was viewed from inside Hogwarts. If you enter quietly, almost no one will notice that someone has entered the house.

The screaming shack where no one was present would occasionally hear wolf howls, which further strengthened the minds of others to stay away from it.

You really understand people’s hearts!

The moon was almost at its highest point.

At this moment, the moonlight pours over the Scottish Highlands.

Reggie didn't move, and neither did Alecto Carlo, who was not far away.

In this way, the two of them stood in the moonlight not far away, bathing in the moonlight. The latter was looking at the passage below, and he was looking at everything around him.

……

Under the Whomping Willow.

Alecto Clara sneaked carefully in the low and narrow secret passage. After more than ten minutes, if greed hadn't been irritating her nerves, she almost wanted to give up.

Another 10 minutes passed.

The secret passage began to rise. Alecto Carlo was overjoyed and raised his wand high so that the brief light could shine higher and brighter.

She tried to slow down her breathing and carefully calmed the rise and fall of her chest. After a while, she saw a door ahead.

And in the gap under the door, a ray of light is coming out!

Arrived!

Ravenclaw's Chamber of Secrets!

A burst of ecstasy surged through her heart, and a big silent smile broke out on her face. Under the fluorescent light, she looked so ugly and weird.

Like the evil witch written in Muggle books.

Alecto Carlo extinguished the light of the wand, began to hold the wand carefully, and recalled some wands that could be used in battle in his mind.

Take a deep breath.

Lift your feet to move forward.

Then, she heard a rush of footsteps behind her.

Turn around quickly.

"Sirius Black! You despicable guy!" This was the roar Alecto Carlo made in his heart before he fell.

After confirming that his spell hit the opponent, Reggie stepped forward and stood still, carefully looking at the wooden door in front of him for a while.

After a moment, he controlled Alecto Carlo's body with a floating spell and prepared to leave the way he came.

But it was too late.

……

the other side.

Three figures were running wildly, and violent arguments broke out as they ran.
