Chapter 374 King Arthur Does Not Understand Human Nature

Malfoy finally chose to learn the Patronus Charm with Snape. Fish didn't care much about it. Anyway, after celebrating Snape's birthday, he slipped back to the dormitory to sleep.

The fact that Mao Mao celebrated Snape's birthday happened quietly. Snape had no interest in showing it off to anyone, and Malfoy and Gryffindor had no intention of spreading it, so apart from knowing about it for a long time, Except for the fact that the headmaster was a little bit upset, none of the other professors knew that except for Professor McGonagall, Snape also received a birthday gift from Fish.

Time soon came to Saturday again, and the Quidditch pitch was bustling with people because today was the day of Ravenclaw versus Slytherin.

Although it has nothing to do with Gryffindor and Hufflepuff, there are still many people from these two houses who come to watch, and players like Harry are all here to collect information about their next opponents. intelligence.

At the same time, it was also a good day for Sirius to act. Most of the teachers and students had gone to the Quidditch pitch, and it would be much easier for him to sneak into the Gryffindor dormitory.

So after he saw the players taking off from the Quidditch field from a distance, he quickly found a place and used the wandless spell he had recently practiced in assault practice. He used silencing and deodorizing spells on himself before he transformed again. Returned to the "cold" appearance.

Unfortunately, the Disillusionment Curse was a rather advanced spell, and Sirius could not cast it without a wand.

After the big black dog walked out of the Forbidden Forest, he carefully avoided other people's eyes and walked towards the second greenhouse - there was a secret passage directly leading to the castle nearby. This was where he walked on Halloween night. A secret passage sneaks into the castle.

It was just that when he sneaked in again during Christmas, he smelled the janitor Filch's cat wandering near the exit from a distance for the first time, so he had to retreat. After that, he tried several times, but only encountered it once. No one patrols the exit.

And that time Sirius didn't go very far after entering the castle before he met the patrolling professor again, so he felt at ease to stay with Harry during the Christmas vacation.

He followed the secret passage all the way to the exit of the castle. This time, Sirius did not encounter Mrs. Loris or other professors patrolling. Moreover, after walking out of the secret passage, the surrounding area was empty, with no one at all. exist.

Despite this, Sirius still moved forward cautiously close to the wall, while constantly listening and sniffing for nearby movements and smells.

Because in addition to the teachers and students of Hogwarts, there are also a large number of ghosts and portraits in the castle. His Animagus is so huge that it will definitely leave an impression as long as it is seen, so he has to be careful.

But then again, there is really the smell of Fei Xu everywhere in this castle. He is worthy of being a privileged student who can run into the forbidden forest to play at night...

He is really Dumbledore's illegitimate son, right? Or grandchildren and the like.

There is another thing that also puzzles Sirius...

Although there were far fewer people in the castle, there were still many more students staying in the castle than Sirius expected, and most of them were girls.

The little witches were walking around in the castle and chattering away. Topics that sounded extremely boring to Sirius. Coupled with the smell of perfume and cosmetics from some senior girls, it greatly affected his ability to collect information. .

Don’t the little witches like Quidditch anymore?

Sirius complained in his heart, but he remembered that when he and James Potter were on the Quidditch team, even during regular training, there would be many girls around, let alone there are games now.

However, no matter how doubtful and dissatisfied Sirius was, he could not stop these little witches from chatting and hanging out. He could only continue to sneak around the castle carefully, approaching the entrance to the Gryffindor dormitory on the eighth floor step by step.

As Sirius gradually approached the eighth floor, he was also hesitating in his heart. The last time he broke into the Gryffindor dormitory, his method was too rough, which caused the alert level of Hogwarts to be raised a lot, which greatly affected He infiltrated again.

But this is also related to Sirius's desire for revenge and his unclear mind. After this period of cultivation and his emotions calmed down slightly after meeting Harry, the most important thing is that he saw the three-headed dog road. After gaining power, as well as Fish's tiger form and Patronus, Sirius was no longer as manic as when he first came to Hogwarts...

Of course, his reckless nature has not changed much.

Just like now, Sirius wanted to just tear apart the portrait of the gatekeeper like last time, and then force his way in to find Peter Pettigrew. Anyway, he just needed to catch Peter before other professors and Fish arrived.

Just as he was thinking this, a familiar smell wafted from a distance, and the smell was getting closer and closer. Along with it, there was also the cheerful laughter of a certain little fur cat, and several little ones. The chirping of a witch.

Why didn't Fish go to the Quidditch pitch? ! !

Sirius was startled, and then quickly ran to hide behind a nearby statue.

More than ten seconds later, Fish appeared around the corner with a lollipop in his mouth, accompanied by Sharpay Evans and three other Gryffindor girls.

A few of them walked to the portrait of Sir Cadogan while chatting and laughing. Sharpay turned to his companions and asked: "What is today's password? This weird guy has to change his password every day, it's so annoying." "

When she was speaking, she did not avoid Sir Cadogan at all. Ever since they discovered that this portrait had led Fish to mischief, none of the Gryffindor girls would give him a good look.

Not to mention that this guy is very annoying to begin with. He changes passwords every three days and likes to provoke other students.

"Hmm... It seems that Wye Dragon is vulnerable? Or is Cadogan the first Knight of the Round Table? I can't remember clearly."

A girl replied, then she curled her lips in disdain and mocked mercilessly: "Anyway, this is the only thing he can brag about."

Since being "convinced" by Professor McGonagall not to teach Fish to use foul language, Sir Cadogan can only do more about his own deeds, and the passwords he sets are basically related to these things.

Sir Cadogan's two most famous deeds are that he was lucky enough to defeat a Wye dragon, and that he was promoted to the Knights of the Round Table relying on his friendship with Merlin.

"You should have some respect for Sir Cadogan! Girl!"

Sir Cadogan in the portrait was waving the spear in his hand and shouting loudly. Unfortunately, neither Fish nor the other girls paid attention to him. Only Sharpay impatiently urged: "Get out of the way if the password is correct!"

"But your password is wrong!"

While dragging his pony, which just wanted to go to the river to graze, Sir Cadogan shouted provocatively as usual: "Let's duel! Those who don't know the password... you bad guys! Sir Cadogan doesn't I'll let you intruders pass as easily as the Fat Lady!"

"Fix remember the password, meow!"

(ΦωΦ)

However, the little kitten did not let Sir Cadogan get what he wanted, and directly gave the command.

"Today's password is - King Arthur doesn't understand people's hearts, meow."

"No meow at the end!"

Sir Cadogan protested, but honestly moved aside to reveal the hole in the wall hidden behind the portrait.

Sirius could take this opportunity to rush into the Gryffindor dormitory and capture Peter Pettigrew who had turned into a mouse.

But……

He didn't dare.

Because without a wand, he has no way to deal with Fei Xu, even the little witches around Fei Xu. If he rushes out now, he will simply die.

Moreover, after discovering that the portrait of the gatekeeper had been changed to Sir Cadogan, he also knew that the plan to break in was basically hopeless.

Because Sir Cadogan was an old Gryffindor who dared to charge at the Wye Dragon when his horse was eaten, his wand was broken, and his sword and visor were burned. Sirius did not think that he would be like that. The fat lady was scared away by herself like that.

As long as the owner does not leave, the portrait still has certain defensive capabilities. Although it is not very strong, without a wand, Sirius will have to spend a lot of effort to destroy it.

This time was enough for Dumbledore and others to come to support.

It seems that we need to think about it in the long run...

After Fish and others got into the hole in the wall and Sir Cadogan's portrait was restored to its original position, Sirius came out of the hiding place and turned around and left without hesitation.

In the official setting of HP, Sir Cadogan is a member of the Knights of the Round Table and joined through Merlin's relationship.

The function of the portrait is my second design. It is not mentioned in the original work, but I think it is still possible. Otherwise, why would Gryffindor use portraits to guard the gate? Moreover, after the portrait was changed in the original work, after Sirius I didn't force my way into the dormitory either.

…

After being reminded by a book friend, I discovered that the original book did not mention that Snape was Draco's godfather...it seemed like he had forgotten it.

But it doesn’t matter, it’s not an important thing anyway, and this setting can also be used to oppose Sirius and Harry, which is quite interesting. The first person to make this second setting has quite an idea.
