Chapter 283: Accidents occur frequently

A few minutes ago -

The atmosphere inside the professor's office of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class is tense.

Snape's wand in his hand pointed straight at Lupin, his eyes shining with a strange light, and he asked lightly: "What are you hiding?"

Lupin, who also holding his wand, said with a sigh, "You're the one who suddenly appeared and startled me."

"Did I ...?"

Snape's eyes settled on Lupin's feet, where there is a palm-sized Knight, with scarlet eyes kept staring at him, associated with the previous speculation, he had an intense desire, why not find an opportunity to stomp it flat, it is too much of an eyesore ...

"Bombarda!"

He pointed his wand at it, but the next second, Lupin swiftly interrupted his spell: "I can't let you do that, Severus."

Snape's eyes shone dangerously as he took a few steps to the side, and Lupin took a few steps forward, the two remained face-to-face.

"I have long told Dumbledore," Snape said slowly, "there is a traitor in Hogwarts."

Lupin said impatiently: "Use your head, Severus, this is not what you think it is, why don't you go to Professor Hap and ask him about it."

"Give it to me!"

"I don't think I can do that," Lupin said, Then suddenly a thick snake-like rope flew out from the tip of Snape's wand, and Lupin stabbed a section of the rope with great precision, and it fell hard on the floor and broke into five to six pieces.

"There is a good chance he is an innocent, think about it, where did I get him from, I can go with you to ask for proof."

Snape said murderously, "You want to prove his innocence? Give him to me, and I'll see for myself--"

"Severus, you're obsessed, there's something you don't know, that we know - Dumbledore knows it, too - that Ron kid's pet rat has some issue!"

Lupin dodged a spell and the jars in his office exploded with a bang.

" Are you going to start telling some stories, Lupin? There's not enough time left for that, you need to speed that up." Snape shook out a dark mist that quickly converged into a dozen chirping birds, and as he thrust out his arm like a sharp sword, these black birds all flew straight at Lupin in unison.

"You incorporated dark magic into a regular spell?" Lupin asked in surprise, as he moved swiftly as he could, he had more access to these dark spells than the average person, though he didn't learn them, but studied how to counter them.

He waved his wand, and the parchment papers on the table flew up " splash", forming a solid wall in front of him, in which the black birds stuck, shaking their wings desperately, struggling as they dissolved into wisps of black smoke.

The black smoke came together and turned into a big snake, its head raised high to the ceiling, and then its head fell sharply.

The big snake broke through Lupin's defense, so he grabbed the 'Knight' and threw it out of the office window smoothly, "Go find Professor Hap!" As he lunged to the side, dodging the big snake.

"Buzz~"

The whole office trembled, the tables, chairs, boxes, and cabinets in the room bounced in unison.

"Flipendo-"

"Thumb!"

A flash of red light brushed past Snape's cheek and hit the file cabinet behind him, and Lupin stood up from the dusty floor, "Can't let you go just like that, fool, I've always wanted to fight you."

Snape had a smile on his face, but no one would think it is an expression of goodwill, "Really? Not going to pretend to be a good old boy anymore? Like a tamed werewolf?"

"I've never been faking it - Protego Maxima!"

Lupin blocked a suspicious ghostly blue spell, his reasoning didn't seem to be working out, so he waved his wand, a stream of red lights burst out in succession, Snape's wand repeatedly flicked it away, knocking the spells away one by one, and he took two steps back, as he stabbed his wand straight out--

"Diffindo!"

"Whoosh!"

A row of wooden boxes got sliced neatly in unison, which Lupin hurriedly avoided, a tiny cut scratched through his cheek, "This spell ... is impressive!"

Then he flicked his wand, Snape rushed to prop an invisible barrier up, and the deflected spell hit the locked cabinet.

"Don't!" Lupin exclaimed.

A red-headed woman walked out the cabinet door, "Severus, why ..."

Snape's eyes went wide, and he stumbled back, his wand slipped from his hand and his body flinched, "No, nooo ..."

"Why ..."

Lupin panicked and stood in front of Snape, the illusion in front of him disappeared and turned into a full moon, he sighed with a complicated expression, and raised his wand for a while, "Riddi--"

"Boom!"

The full moon suddenly exploded into smithereens, Lupin turned back in shock to see Snape expressionlessly holding up his wand.

"Remus Lupin!" Snape said through gritting his teeth.

"Severus, that was an accident, the boggart was for Harry to practice his Patronus charm." Lupin backed away warily, Snape is not in the right state.

"Sniff!"

A violent fire lit the office up, igniting everything, Snape waved his wand with dishevelled hair, Lupin stumbled back, he could only brace himself, using the stunning spell in between Snape's attacks.

"What's happening here? Oh, my!"

A cheerful female voice appeared at the entrance, Lupin could only see that the visitor had bubblegum pink hair, but then she got knocked off by a stunning spell and disappeared from his sight.

"Snape, stop, Someone, got hurt!"

But Snape lost his nerve - so he ignored Lupin's shouts, the spell became stronger and stronger, and he used strange dark magic unrestrainedly, a black glow appearing on his face.

Lupin is gradually losing the fight, and Snape coldly waved his wand.

A crisp chirping sound suddenly heard, a silver rain swallow condensed in midair, dividing the battlefield into two parts.

"Severus, Professor Lupin, please stop ..."

A black spell flew over, and the silver rain swallow slightly vibrated its wings to dodge the attack, "Severus, you--"

"Get out of the way!"

Lupin rushed to say, "Snape hit the box where I stored the boggart, and she stepped out of it--"

"Shut up! Shut your mouth! Lupin!"

Snape interrupted him furiously, a terrible magic brewing as the room began to tremble, and the ground rapidly eroded externally with him as a center.

A dazzling ripple of light spread out like a large wave, and Snape's unformed magic made a zipping sound, bursting forth with dark red lightning at one side of the room, the two sides of the rooms looked quite contrasting, one side being corrosive and dark, and the other side being warm and light.

A gentle voice came from the Rain Swallow Patronus, "Severus, calm down."

Lupin hurriedly said, "Severus, we found a new clue, Peter Pettigrew is not dead, he is still alive, everything is staged by him!"

Snape seemed to come back to his senses, he took the initiative to lift the magic, the Patronus light spread on him, constantly washing away the black gas around his face, then he leaned on the wall and slowly sat down.

The Rain Swallow Patronus left a sentence, "I'll be right back." Then turned into a dot of blue-white spark.

A few moments later, Felix appeared in the office, most of the room was ruined, a small half of the furniture eroded, another half still burning slightly on fire, a row of wooden boxes was neatly sliced, the cut was smooth as a mirror.

"Scourgify!" The smoke in the room is carried away, the flames extinguished.

Snape sat leaning against the wall, staring at the ceiling without moving, his black eyes were like stone, and there is no visual clarity in his eyes. Lupin is tending to an unconscious young woman, and he glances over to see who it is - surprisingly, it's Tonks.

Felix frowned, what was this fight for? Because of Sirius Black? He looked around and didn't see Sirius in his knight candy costume, he can't be wiped out, right?

Snape had absolutely no intention of communicating with anyone, he could only walk next to Professor Lupin, "How did it come to this?"

Lupin said with a bitter smile, "It was all an accident, a series of accidents."

Felix looked at Tonks on the couch, "Why is she here?"

"I don't know, seems to have popped out of nowhere, maybe trying to dissuade the fight? As a result, she was knocked out by my stunning spell ..."

"Just a stunning spell?" Felix surveyed Tonks' face, she showed no sign of sobriety.

"There's nothing wrong with her," Lupin explained, "I didn't undo the spell, and in this situation now, it's really inappropriate ... so I couldn't take her to the hospital wing."

If he lifted the stunning spell before, he was bound to let Tonks see the scene of the two Hogwarts Professors fighting to the death, although she already saw it, but it could easily implicate Sirius; Now he worried about Snape's side of the problem, so he didn't take her to the hospital wing.

"Understood," Felix gave Tonks another stunning spell, "later send her directly to the hospital wing, don't say anything."

Felix picked a back chipped-off chair and sat down, then he gave Lupin a look and raised his tone a bit, "Professor Lupin, explain, what happened, didn't you tell Severus that Peter Pettigrew was the culprit?"

He gestured to Lupin, signalling him to drag Peter Pettigrew in the conversation.

Lupin understood, so he said in as much detail as possible: "The day school started after Christmas break, in the staff common room next to the great hall, we and Headmaster Dumbledore speculated that there was a huge suspicion in the murder of James and Lily that year, because Sirius had a good chance to kill Harry, but he didn't do it, and his target was Harry's friend, Ron Weasley. "

"I can't quite understand," Felix said.

"Then I'll explain again - Sirius Black is an Animagus, he can turn into a big black dog, likewise James can turn into a stag, and Peter Pettigrew can turn into a rat," Lupin said, laughing to himself. "They're there to keep me company during the full moon, a werewolf."

"In that case, the reason why Black can escape from Azkaban is clear, but why did he attack Ron Weasley?" Felix continued to ask, and in the afterglow, he saw Snape rolling his eyes.

"Ron raised a rat, their family did, to be precise, this rat suddenly appeared in the Weasley house and stayed there for twelve whole years, only to disappear without a trace after Sirius Attack during the holiday. But we saw an image of it that looked exactly like Peter Pettigrew's Animagus!"

"So, he's not dead? Peter Pettigrew, the holder of the First Class Order of Merlin and a war hero, not only didn't die, but he went incognito and hid as a pet in a wizard family?"

Lupin looked at Felix oddly, but could only follow his words: "Yes, this is the biggest suspicion, so we suspect that there is another hidden agenda. Professor Hap, how is Sirius got into your hand and turned into a golem?"

"I captured him, and after that we - Dumbledore and I intend to set up a trap to draw out Peter Pettigrew, by that time it will certainly require your cooperation, so keep it a secret for now," Felix explained.

Lupin apprehensively asked the biggest question in his mind, hoping to get an answer: "So, Sirius is innocent? But he is the Secret Keeper of James's house, and the Fidelius Charm is simply unbreakable, like an unbreakable oath, if he is innocent ..."

"You didn't ask him?"

"Didn't have time for that."

"Well," Felix thought about it and decided to use the opportunity to explain clearly, and the words were also addressed to Snape, "because the Secret Keeper is replaced, Sirius thought he was too obvious, and privately replaced the Secret Keeper with the inconspicuous Peter Pettigrew."

"So," Lupin murmured: "At that time, the operation in the Order of the Phoenix repeatedly leaked out, everyone suspected that there is a traitor, and people are on edge."

"So -" Snape stood up, "Peter Pettigrew was the real undercover agent of Voldemort?"

Lupin looked at Snape in surprise, he actually called the Dark Lord by his name - Voldemort, the original suspicion disappeared at once. You know, when Dumbledore protected Snape that year, he was very shocked.

Snape said nonchalantly, "Swap the Secret Keeper? Stupid!"

"Severus..."

But he ignored Lupin and limped away, while saying, "As for Peter Pettigrew...what I need to do, Felix tell me later."

Lupin opened and closed his mouth, saying nothing, as he watched him leave quietly.

"Let him be alone," Felix said, looking around. "You guys fighting too hard." In the whole room, apart from the sofa where Tonks is lying, there is no other place to stay.

"Oh, it's all an accident..." Lupin sighed, he sighed too many times today.

"This office is no longer usable. You discuss it with Dumbledore and modify or switch it."

"That's the only way," Lupin said, fortunately, he released the magical creatures used for teaching a few days ago, otherwise few would survive, and the only other living creature, Boggart, was blown to pieces, Not even a wisp of blue smoke remained.

"By the way, where did you hide Sirius?" Felix asked him nonchalantly.

Lupin got startled, he had long forgotten about it, "I threw him out of the window during the fight just now..." Looking at Felix's strange eyes, he said guiltily: "I asked him to Look for you."

"Well, okay." Felix shrugged, "I hope he won't be picked up by some mischievous little wizard."
