Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 2371: Exposed tracks

That's right! Sirius was not looking for someone else, but Snape.

To be honest, when Snape suddenly reached out and pierced the hideout in the alley opposite the apartment building just before, he really didn't think about anything else.

After all, it was Professor McGonagall and Snape who had been across the street at that time. At most, the two Hogwarts girls who had just left were counted, even though he had always seen Snape uncomfortable. , And now I have to admit that the other party is also "my own."

So, he didn't hide his existence too much at the time, and it seemed that it was not too unexpected to be so keenly aware of his presence by Snape.

Because of this, after being pointed out by Snape, he went out to meet the two directly, and even took the initiative to taunt Snape a few words about the matter.

In fact, even including Snape's sudden departure during a conversation with McGonagall not long ago, Sirius didn't pay much attention. Because he also knew that on the basis that he looked at the other party was not pleasing to the eye, the other party had actually always hated him, and that guy's departure early did not seem to be unnatural.

Of course, among the factors that made Sirius not aware of something wrong from the beginning, the most fundamental reason is after all-Snape's Occlumency has actually reached a very deep level. It is too difficult to find any flaws in such a person.

However, when Colin fainted unexpectedly, Sirius followed McGonagall all the way to the temporary ward. After seeing the scene of Colin left in the magic film, he finally found something wrong indirectly. !

The film picture of the suspect is blurry, but he can almost confirm it—he recognizes the scene in the picture!

Isn't that the next door to the alley where he was stabbed by Snape? Go in from the alley next to it and walk all the way to the other end, where the film picture is located, and the other side seems to be the temporary student dormitory where Colin fainted.

He was still passing by when he came!

Thinking about it this way, the specific picture that he had skipped when Snape reached out to point out his location at first gradually became clear again in Sirius' mind. He gradually began to realize that even though Snape was actually referring to himself at that time, the other's eyes seemed to have swept away inadvertently.

Yes, although the memory is still a bit vague... After all, it was something that I had neglected at the time. Even if I noticed something strange afterwards, it is difficult to reproduce too many details in my head. . This is the period when he was silent in the ward not long ago.

It’s just that, even if it’s not completely certain, Sirius’s practicalism and extremely high power of action does not prevent him from following these few hindsights and starting to use actual actions to verify his guess.

After a "verification" after he left the temporary ward, and using his best tracking and tracing ability to search silently, he finally found this place along the trail of Snape.

He was pretty sure that the guy Snape must be in the old apartment next to him, because the curse response was actually coming from this old building that seemed to have been deserted!

Until then, Sirius, who was crouching under the window sill, slowly lowered his wrist, and gradually raised the corner of his mouth.

"That guy...what is talking to people in there? And it seems that those sneaky guys may not come from that simple."

While thinking about it this way, I was still considering how to take a peek at Sirius without disturbing the people inside. Suddenly he raised his brows, and seemed to be aware of something suddenly.

"Huh?"

He suddenly noticed that the spell response on the other side of the wall began to weaken rapidly, and then disappeared completely. And then, there was a sound of very regular footsteps.

"Squeaky--"

It was probably the sound of the door opening, and the sound of footsteps gradually faded away, leaving the room only separated by a wall.

"...Are you one step too late?"

It was probably the sound of Snape's footsteps--stepping in a big way, as if he was walking in such a hurry all the time. Just listening to this sound, Sirius was able to quickly outline that in his mind. The "big bat" image of Tao cloak lightly came.

"Well, it should be the intention to leave from the front entrance on the other side." He thought to himself in his heart, "However, those sneakers shouldn't move yet."

The curse, which was mostly the muffling curse, has been lifted, but after the sound of footsteps went away, there was still no sound in the room. Considering that unless those people are all ghosts or dementors and don’t walk on their feet at all, it’s probably only one reason-those people still don’t think it’s safe here, so in Snee After Pu left, he still maintained a high degree of vigilance.

Slightly squinted his eyes, Sirius, based on experience, wisely chose not to go to the grass and startling snakes at this moment, but retreated in the same direction as when he came and went quietly.

Some of the previous conjectures have been verified, and he can contact Professor McGonagall. So stay away from here a little bit, lest the intruders who are mostly hiding in it will notice the movement.

However, when he quietly retreated to the alleyway and was about to go out, Sirius suddenly stopped and stopped.

"You see that I'm not wrong, right? Huh, it's a dog nose... and it's not a nose that an ordinary dog ​​can have. The deodorant doesn't work."

Listening to this sentence spreading slightly and clearly from the root of the wall outside the alley to his ear~IndoMTL.com~ Sirius narrowed his eyes again, and then lowered his voice and asked:

"Why, I came here with Professor McGonagall sneakingly and ‘chat’ with someone, and I have run into it, so don’t you panic at all?"

As soon as the voice fell, a figure outside suddenly took a step from the side and stepped into Sirius's line of sight.

It really is him! Severus Snape.

"I’m just taking care of my personal matters first...I’ve already dealt with it, so what do you want to do next-it’s up to you if you want to poke this matter over to Professor McGonagall. As for Now...Don't bother me! Unless you want to bring out the ones inside."

After uttering these few words softly and pointing a short distance away, Snape turned decisively and walked away silently. Sirius probably didn't expect this guy to be so calm, so he was taken aback for a while, but in the end he didn't deliberately pursue it.

"'Private matter'? What's the matter?" He frowned and thought to himself.
