"What is certain is that Black did not come from school, and those dementors will not be easily teased by him again."
Remus rubbed his eyebrows and said,
"And it is basically certain that he has left Hogwarts. We searched the entire castle, including the common rooms of the four houses, student dormitories, the campus hospital, underground corridors, observatory, library and Sprout No hidden traces were found in the professor’s greenhouse... Hagrid is currently in the Forbidden Forest asking about those magical animals and has not returned yet.”
Amosta nodded his head gently and thought quietly. Suddenly, he remembered the Myrtle who was hiding in the bathroom last year, who clearly saw everything but said nothing.
"Now that the Fat Lady has confirmed that it was Black who hurt it... I mean, sneaking into Gryffindor Tower, finding that you can't enter the common room, and then escaping from the castle is quite a distance, even for a young wizard Celebrating Halloween with all the faculty and staff in the auditorium, there must be some portraits and ghosts..."
"Already confirmed with them--"
Professor McGonagall pursed her lips and said,
"The ghosts were all celebrating Christmas in their own way in the basement, and the portraits were also gathered together. They didn't see how Black came in... Peeves was the first to be kicked out of the ghost party for causing trouble. I found the frightened fat lady hiding in a landscape painting on the fifth floor... In short, Blake picked a good time."
"Yes, Sly Black!"
In front of the principal, director and professors, Filch, who had no sense of presence, took advantage of every opportunity and quickly nodded in agreement.
"good time--"
Professor McGonagall's casual words made Amosta's eyebrows move imperceptibly, and he muttered softly.
Dumbledore originally had his fingers crossed on his right leg and remained puzzlingly quiet. He seemed not to be involved in the conversation at all and just let them discuss it. However, he heard a few words that Amosta muttered. Then, Dumbledore's cheek suddenly moved, and a light flashed across his eyes. He turned to look at Amosta, and the gazes from two pairs of heterochromatic pupils met in mid-air.
"Oh, please!" Professor McGonagall said in a somewhat irritable tone, "Don't make me worry about guessing at this time!"
Ahem!
Amosta coughed twice in embarrassment, then organized his words in his mind and said slowly,
"Just a thought, Professor McGonagall... Black specifically chose Halloween to break into Hogwarts. Was it accidental or intentional?
If it was unintentional, then his luck can only be said to be a coincidence, probably because he was confused in Azkaban... But if he deliberately rushed into Hogwarts on the night of the Halloween dinner , so why did he try to break into the Gryffindor common room? He should know that all the young wizards, including Potter, are in the Great Hall, and there is no one in the dormitory..."
Amosta's statement made both McGonagall and Lupin stunned. To be honest, they did ignore this point.
"Maybe--"
After a long while, Professor McGonagall hesitated and guessed, "Black wants to sneak into the student dormitory secretly and wait until the child comes back--"
"It is indeed possible."
Amosta nodded and said, but his eyes were focused on Remus, whose brow was hidden in deep shadows.
"But this means that he had no intention of leaving after the murder... Was this a choice he made?"
Top secrets that students don't know may be just common information among professors. Everyone here knows that among them, only Lupine knows Black best.
"Sorry, I don't know what Blake would do."
Lupine apologized in a gloomy tone and said,
"I thought I knew him well, but it turns out he's not who I thought he was at all."
It is always unpleasant to discuss betrayal, Professor McGonagall comforted Lupin in a low voice, and Amosta did not force him with his eyes.
"Well, let me see... Argus,"
After thinking for a moment, Amosta looked at Filch.
"Make sure all the secret passages to the outside world in the castle are closed. I don't want us to make such a very low-level mistake."
"There are four secret passages in total, and they were blocked before school started, Mr. Blaine!"
Filch stood up with a swish, and his tone of respect made Amosta feel a little surprised. However, if he thought about it carefully, Amosta could understand that he was assigned by the school board last semester. The investigators who entered Hogwarts to investigate the Chamber of Secrets incident and the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor were both temporary positions, and neither one lasted long, but the Director of the Student Security Office was a permanent position, especially as Dumbledore had clearly said , the castle administrator is under the jurisdiction of the Director of the Security Office...
Although in the castle, Filch is just a nuisance who is not welcomed by outsiders, but outside, he is doing a job that many capable wizards envy. As a squib, of course he will be afraid of it. It makes you unhappy and throws away the 'golden rice bowl' in your hand!
When Amosta mentioned the secret passage, Remus's body trembled suddenly, and his lowered eyes revealed a violent struggle, but in the end, he said nothing.
Dawn is approaching, and the world outside the window is no longer a rich and pure darkness. In the distant sky, gray skylight is awakening everything that is sleeping.
"All right--"
Amosta walked to the window and opened the sash, letting the damp and cold morning breeze blow his hair as hard as it could.
"Hagrid hasn't come back yet, but I think it's unlikely that he can bring good news...,
I will reset those panoramic telescopes as soon as possible. Before that, I have to add the function of spotting scopes to them. Whenever Blake tries to break into the castle again, no matter which corner he comes in from, as long as he is caught by the camera, face, then the telescopes throughout the castle will sound an alarm at the same time, notifying the little wizards to evacuate as soon as possible. "
Amosta's plan is undoubtedly a good idea. In the current situation where Black cannot find a way to invade, the most important thing is to ensure that he cannot invade again.
When the morning light came, he was the only one left in Amosta's office. He had not slept all night. Everyone took advantage of the time to rest before class. Amosta also lay on his bed, closed his eyes and calmed down. Quietly thinking about the unanswered question.
Did Black just happen to run into Hogwarts on Halloween, or did he do it intentionally... Amosta couldn't answer this question, but his keen intuition reminded him that this was not a coincidence.
Sirius Black, like Remus Lupin, is an important plot character, and Amosta has only a vague image, as if both of them died in the end...
"perish together?"
Amosta murmured softly,
"Could it be that Remus died because of the curse from the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor? Hmm... I feel a little guilty if that's the case... Should I break his two wolf legs in advance... ..”
