Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 753: Speculation and possibility
Chapter 754 speculation and possibility
"Sirius Black broke into Gryffindor Tower with a knife and attempted to assassinate Harry Potter?"
Albert stretched out his hand to cover a yawn, listened to Fred, George and Lee Jordan recount what happened in the middle of the night, tilted his head and looked at the intact portrait passage and asked, "How on earth did Blake have no password? break into the Gryffindor common room?"
"Longbottom wrote the password on a note, but after it was lost, the note was picked up by Black." Lee Jordan took out a handful of toad mints from his robe pocket and distributed it to everyone, and he pushed it away. He put one in his mouth and said indistinctly: "You were not there at the time, and you didn't see Professor McGonagall's angry face, and your voice trembled with anger."
"Some time ago, Longbottom seemed to have said that the note with the password on it was lost." Albert reached out and stroked Tom, who was resting at the table, looked up at the crowded common room and asked, "By the way, you should Haven't slept all night, what are you doing here if you don't go back to sleep, and wait to hear if Blake has been caught?"
"Yeah, everyone is here waiting for news, do you think Blake can slip away again?" Fred brought a cup of hot milk tea with a strong milky aroma and a small saucer left over from last night in his hand. custard cookies.
"The chances of catching Blake are small." Albert said without hesitation, "If the professors can really catch Blake, I think you will definitely receive the news as soon as possible."
"Actually, I'm more curious why Black didn't kill Ron to silence him and continue to find Harry?" George asked the doubts in his heart.
"Do you really want your brother to be killed by Black?" Lee Jordan couldn't help rolling his eyes.
"As early as twelve years ago, Black liked to kill innocent people." George made this point clearly, "Faced with five sleeping boys, it is entirely possible for Black to kill everyone. I don’t think he would easily give up such a good opportunity.”
"Maybe, Blake is worried that he will be blocked in the castle, and once everyone is awakened, it will be difficult for him to leave the castle." Angelina also participated in the discussion.
"I don't think Blake is afraid of death. If he was really afraid of death, he wouldn't risk breaking into Hogwarts Castle and assassinating Harry. It's weird tonight." Shanna agreed with George, She also doesn't think a person full of hatred is afraid of death, "Don't forget, your brother said that Blake has a knife, which means that Blake has no wand, and a wizard without a wand can't exert real power at all. , which was almost Blake's only chance for revenge, but he gave it up."
"As long as you kill the people in the room, Black will be able to grab the wand. I believe that a criminal who can escape from Azkaban must also have a way to escape from Hogwarts Castle before the professors can react. ."
"He must kill the entire hospital, and he may meet the teacher..." Angelina also felt that her reasons became increasingly untenable.
"If I were Sirius Black, I would blow up the window and jump out of the window to escape." Albert pointed to the window next to him and said, "It would be stupid to try to get out of the portrait passage, if Black is so stupid. , I think he was caught by the dementors long ago."
"But there is at least..."
Arya suddenly stopped talking, and she also realized that for wizards, the height of seven or eight floors is obviously nothing, and Harry fell from a high altitude last time.
The worst case scenario is death. Would a desperado like Blake really be afraid of death?
is obviously not afraid.
"There's really a lot of suspicious things about this, and it's thanks to this that Ron didn't have an accident." Fred said, looking at Ron who was describing the whole thing last night to others.
"There are many ways to solve the doubts. Now I ask, you answer, tell all the reasons you can think of, no matter how absurd." Albert waved his wand and conjured a book out of thin air. Notes with a pen.
"The first question:
Why do you guys think Blake didn't kill Ron, and the rest of the dorm, instead of taking revenge on Harry? "
The pen automatically writes this passage in the notebook.
"Don't want to kill innocent people?" Angelina said first, "Or, worried that when other students wake up, they will be bet on the castle?"
"How about you?" Albert asked the others.
Others frowned and thought, but still couldn't figure out the reason, this matter is really suspicious.
"Maybe, Blake is actually a good guy. He actually came to give Potter a gift, but he couldn't find Harry's bed." Fred made himself amused when he said this.
"Could it be that his brain is confused, and his first instinct is to run away, just like most people's first reaction when they encounter danger is to turn around and run away." Lee Jordan felt that his reason was the best Possibly, "After all, it's not surprising that Black has been hunted by Dementors and Aurors all the time."
Albert took this all down with a pen and continued, "If I were Blake, I would never pass up a great opportunity like this."
"Maybe, Black didn't actually come to kill Harry, or maybe his target wasn't Harry?" George tried to dig out more possibilities.
"Black broke into Harry's dormitory, apparently for some purpose. If his target wasn't Harry, what would it be? Obviously it couldn't be Ron either, or he'd have his throat cut."
"Don't forget, Daddy once said, Blake said in his sleep: He's at Hogwarts. Who do you think he's referring to. Harry? No, it's just our speculation." George continued , "The only certainty is that the target Black wants to kill is in that dorm."
"How do you think Black got the password?" Albert added: "To be honest, I don't really believe that Longbottom threw the password around and happened to get it by Black, this seems too coincidental, There are not so many coincidences in this world."
Fred, George, and Lee Jordan looked at each other and seemed to think something: "You mean Blake has help at school?"
Everyone looked a little uneasy, the speculation was close to the truth.
"That person tampered with Longbottom's memory?"
"Probably."
"Longbottom is very forgetful, and it is not easy to see flaws."
"Do you think it's possible for Black to pretend to be a professor at the school?" Shanna said, "As far as I know, there is a potion called a compound potion that can make one person look like another person. ."
"Who do you think is more suspicious?"
"Professor Lupin." Shanna said without hesitation, "Although he's a good professor, every year the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor has something to do, and he's new."
"The compound medicine can do it, but it takes time to cook that thing." Albert recorded this and continued to ask: "Does anyone else have other ideas?"
"Into a small animal, such as someone's pet?"
"If Blake could turn into a cat, he wouldn't need a password, and of course, maybe in disguise."
"Anyone's new pet?" Angelina asked.
"Hermione's cat," George said. "He's still chasing Ron's mouse."
"So, Black disguised as Hermione's cat was actually chasing Ron's mouse?" Shanna felt very absurd when she said this.
"How did Black get into the castle?" Albert asked again.
"Secret passage!" Fred, George and Lee Jordan said in unison.
After several others looked over, they lowered their voices and said, "It must have been through the secret passage. I don't think he would swagger into the castle."
"Use a broomstick," Angelina said.
"Or turn into a bird and fly into the castle," Shanna speculates.
"Or use some weird magic, after all, no one knows if he learned any tricks from the mysterious man?" Arya reminded.
"Finally, how did he get past the Dementors?"
"The Illusory Charm?" Fred shook his head after speaking, because Dumbledore had said at the beginning that invisibility magic had no effect on Dementors.
"The dementor deliberately let him out?"
"He disguised as someone, or a creature?"
Everyone was silent, they remembered Shanna's speculation just now, Black disguised as someone and hid at Hogwarts?
"But how did he escape from Azkaban?"
"Actually, to judge whether a professor is suspicious, just look at whether they often take a bottle and drink it. The compound medicine usually only lasts for an hour, so he must drink the compound medicine frequently to avoid exposing himself."
"No." "No." "No."
"In my impression, no professor has done this."
Everyone searched their memories and shook their heads. This kind of thing can’t be hidden, at least it’s impossible to live completely~IndoMTL.com~ Then it’s unlikely that he pretended to be a professor, there should be a helper. "
"Okay, let me summarize." Albert quickly glanced at his notes and said, "One thing is for sure: Blake did want to kill someone, and that person was at Hogwarts, Harry's quarters. For this reason, Black suggested to escape from Azkaban. He knew some secret passages in the castle that even Filch knew, so he could easily get in and out of the castle without being noticed by others. Black had a helper at Hogwarts school. Got him the password for the Gryffindor common room, and Black was able to use some kind of camouflage to make himself detectable by the Dementors."
"I think we're pretty close to the truth, and just narrowing down and finding out who Blake is trying to kill or his helpers will uncover the truth."
"I really can't think of anyone other than Harry that Blake wants to kill."
"But Black gave up killing and others," Shanna reminded. "If Black was a good guy, who would he want to kill?"
"How could Blake be a good person." Arya thought this was ridiculous, "If he is a good person, how could he be imprisoned in Azkaban prison for more than ten years, if he is innocent, the first person who escapes The thing must be to prove one's innocence, to clear up one's injustice, not to come to Hogwarts to kill."
