Chapter 333 Sirius Black

Night fell again, and under the dim moonlight, Hogwarts Castle fell into silence as always, but the Forbidden Forest not far from the castle gradually began to become lively.

"Click, click, click..."

The sound of dead branches and fallen leaves being trampled was heard, and an uninvited guest was welcomed into the Forbidden Forest tonight.

The big black dog cautiously shuttled through the forest. Sirius Black relied on his few memories of being in the Forbidden Forest when he was a student, trying to avoid other creatures in the Forbidden Forest, and slowly but surely walked towards Hogwarts. The direction of the castle is approaching.

Because he didn't have a wand, Sirius Black couldn't use Apparition to fly near Hogwarts, so he had to spend a lot of time walking all the way from London to Hogwarts.

In fact, Sirius did know a few ways to get a bearer wand from Knockturn Alley, but the methods he knew were all from more than ten years ago, and there was no guarantee whether they would still work now.

Secondly, he didn't dare to take risks. If he accidentally exposed his identity, the guys in Knockturn Alley would definitely catch him without saying a word, and then go to the Ministry of Magic in exchange for the bounty.

In addition, his Animagus form looked a bit conspicuous. Even if the dementors could not detect that he was a wizard, the appearance of a big black dog outside Hogwarts was eye-catching enough.

The same goes for coming from the secret passage in the Shrieking Shack. Moreover, he had gone for a walk around Hogsmeade before and found that there were many dementors patrolling there. After thinking about it, he felt that he still couldn't risk it. This risk.

So Sirius chose the most troublesome way - entering the Forbidden Forest from the outside, and then going around to Hogwarts.

Fortunately, he often ran into the Forbidden Forest when he was a student. Although most of the time he just wandered around the outside of the Forbidden Forest, he still had some understanding of which guys in the Forbidden Forest should not be messed with.

Coupled with his keen sense of smell in his Animagus form, he got through this journey without any danger.

However, in order to avoid those dangerous magical animals, Sirius has not caught any prey during this period of time, so he is now hungry and tired, and may collapse at any time.

After being imprisoned in Azkaban for many years, Sirius's condition was already very bad. Coupled with the recent long journey, his body was already close to the limit. If it were not for the support of obsession, Then, he had already fallen on the road he came from.

When he finally reached the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest, Sirius could take a breather. There were rarely dangerous creatures here, so after a short rest, he planned to find something to eat for himself first.

The big black dog put its nose close to the ground, sniffing the surrounding smells, trying to find a mouse or rabbit to fill its stomach.

Soon, Sirius found a mouse eating fruit under the roots of a big tree.

Sirius hates rats with all his heart, so since he escaped from Azkaban, he has already developed a good skill at hunting rats, so after a while, the unlucky rat was It became food in the mouth of the big black dog.

Thanks to the changes in all the physiological habits of the Animagus after turning into an animal, Sirius was able to tear the rat corpse apart into bloody pieces and then swallow it into his stomach. .

Just a little mouse obviously couldn't satisfy Sirius's hungry appetite. He continued to put his nose to the ground and sniff, looking for new prey.

After continuing to hunt a few more small animals (mostly rats), Sirius finally ate half full, and his originally poor energy also recovered a lot.

He planned to catch a few more prey (preferably rats). After filling his stomach, he would find a place to have a good rest, and then find a way to sneak into the castle to settle the score with Peter Pettigrew.

At this moment, several dogs barked in the distance. Sirius, who was also a dog now, could hear the cheerful mood in the barks, but he did not go in the direction of the barking... He There is little time to play with other dogs.

So Sirius continued to lower his body, looking for the scent of prey...

Um?

Sniffing and sniffing, Sirius suddenly smelled a smell that was different from mice and rabbits. This smell was both familiar and unfamiliar to him...

It smelled like prosciutto, something he hadn't had in over ten years.

Following the smell, Sirius came to a tree stump and soon found the source of the smell - under a piece of soil that had obviously been turned over.

Mixed in with the prosciutto is the scent of another dog marking here.

Without any hesitation, Sirius quickly dug open the soil covering it with his claws, and dug out the half-gnawed prosciutto from the ground.

"Woof woof woof!!!"

Just as Sirius was enjoying his meal, another dog barked next to him.

He turned around and saw that it was also a big black dog, only slightly smaller than his Animagus form, and it was barking at him angrily.

Sirius looked at the other person, and then at the ham that he had stepped on.

Obviously, prosciutto will not grow out of nowhere in the ground, and with the smell that is the same as the big black dog in front of you... this is someone else's thing.

"Woo-woof!"

Sirius made an intimidating gesture and gave a warning growl to the "kind".

Then Yaya got irritated.

Ever since he recognized Lu Wei and Fei Xu as his backers, Yaya has been prospering in the Forbidden Forest. Even those giant monsters with not very good minds have to give him some respect from Lord Yaya. Today, this one Not only did the "puppy" that suddenly appeared steal my food, but it actually dared to threaten me?

"Woof!!!"

The angry Yaya roared and rushed towards Sirius Black without saying a word...

Then got a good beating.

After all, Dento is essentially a cowardly dog ​​whose courage does not match his size. In the Forbidden Forest where all kinds of magical animals gather, he has never had any fights. In terms of intelligence, he is not as good as the little dog who is essentially human. Sirius.

Even if Sirius's condition is not very good, there is certainly no problem if he wants to defeat Yaya, a coward with no other strengths except his size.

That is to say, he also knew that he had snatched Yaya's food and was too embarrassed to be too harsh, so Yaya only suffered a few pains and lost a few dog hairs without even breaking the skin.

After driving away Yaya, Sirius did not take this matter to heart and continued to lower his head and eat the loot he snatched from Yaya.

But before he took a few bites, the barking of the cowardly dog ​​he had just driven away came from the distance, along with the smell and sound of another dog.

Looking for help?

Sirius chuckled inwardly.

No matter how many ordinary dogs came, it would be impossible for him to be his opponent, so instead of running away, after he was full, he lay directly on the ground, with his two front paws crossed on the unfinished prosciutto. Go up and wait for the arrival of Yaya and its helpers.

Because he suddenly thought that since the dog could get one ham, he could naturally get the second and third ham... As long as he subdued it, at least he wouldn't have to worry about food in the future.

Although in Animagus form, eating mice, rabbits, etc. will not cause any psychological problems, but when you think about it after returning to human form, you will still feel a little nauseous, so it is naturally best to eat normal human food.

And the big black dog just now was obviously a pet kept by someone in Hogwarts. Sirius also had a guess as to whose dog it was. After all, when he was studying, Hagrid had already served as a gamekeeper for many years... …

Even if Sirius had never seen Yaya when he was in school, it was perfectly normal. The lifespan of a dog is only more than ten years. Sirius has been away from school for almost 20 years. Yaya was obviously Hagrid's daughter after he graduated. Raised later.

Of course, none of this is important. The important thing is that after he has subdued Hagrid's dogs, he can ask them to help him find out about Peter Pettigrew!

Thinking that he would be able to successfully take revenge soon, Sirius couldn't help but get excited, so he didn't notice the movements of the helper Yaya invited when he came over.

seem……

There's something a little bit abnormal about that.

In order to find out whether Sirius had a wand when he ran to Hogwarts, I read through the chapters in Prisoners where he and Pettigrew confronted each other, and confirmed that he had stolen Ron's wand.

But that's not the point. The point is that his performance at that time was really hard to describe... He was thinking about settling a score with Pettigrew, and he couldn't even explain it clearly. He was a manic version of the Riddler.

This is no longer a Gryffindor fool, but a fool.

I speculated that he was finally able to take revenge. He was too emotional, and his brain was not working well because he had been locked up in Azkaban for a long time.

In comparison, Lupine's performance is much more normal, although he was a bit Riddler-like at the beginning.

There is another question...

Purchasing a Firebolt requires "price negotiation", so how did he buy Harry a broomstick when he didn't have a wand and was at Hogwarts?

…

When I checked the calendar last night, I suddenly discovered that yesterday was also my mother's birthday on the lunar calendar. Because I usually don't celebrate the lunar calendar, so if I hadn't suddenly flipped through the calendar on a whim, I wouldn't have known...it was a coincidence.
