Harry Potter and the Legend of the Temple

Dumbledore reacted very quickly. He immediately arranged for Professor McGonagall on the side and said:

"Minerva, go and ask Mr. Filch to come over immediately and ask him to search the entire castle for the Fat Lady."

"You'll be lucky, Mr. Principal."

In mid-air, Peeves floated down from not far away, looking at Dumbledore with a wicked smile.

"What do you mean? Peeves?" Dumbledore squinted his eyes, as if Peeves' remarks made him a little unhappy.

"Excuse me, Mr. Headmaster." Peeves didn't dare to make Dumbledore angry. He immediately put away his joking face and looked a little serious.

"It's so tragic. She didn't want to be seen like this. She wouldn't let him in. The man became angry and slashed the portrait open."

"Principal, I found it!" Filch ran panting from underneath, "That fat lady, she was hiding in the portrait on the fifth floor, she said..."

Dumbledore raised a gesture to silence him, "Him? Who is he you are talking about?"

"Oh, Headmaster, you should know." Peeves rolled around happily, "That man has a bad temper? That Sirius Black is bad."

The atmosphere in the air condensed instantly, and all the students couldn't help but take a breath. Everyone was in an uproar.

Sirius Black actually broke into the castle alone and did whatever he wanted in Hogwarts, which was full of dementors.

"Everyone, be quiet!" Dumbledore used magic to amplify his voice. "Everyone, return to the auditorium immediately. We will arrange for you to stay there. All teachers follow me."

Dumbledore acted quickly, and all the Gryffindor students walked downstairs in an orderly manner. In order to ensure the safety of the castle, the teachers began to search for traces of Black in Hogwarts.

"Blake, how did he get in?"

"I don't know." Ron shook his head, "I don't think he chose today as a good day."

"Yeah, he picked a day when none of us were here." Harry was a little scared. Fortunately, he was in the banquet hall today and did not go back to the common room, if Black really came to him.

Wait a minute, why did Black choose to go to Gryffindor Tower? Did he really come to find him? Does he really want me to die?

Harry couldn't help but slow down when he thought about this. Black was a notorious killer. If this was the case, then his friends, Ron, Hermione and Louis, would all be in danger.

"Huh? Where are the Lewis people?"

Just as Harry was deep in thought, Ginny turned her head and found that Louis had disappeared into the crowd.

"I just saw him here." Ron scratched his head, "Did he go to find Black?"

"Don't talk nonsense, why is he looking for Black?" Hermione glared at Ron, "They are probably downstairs already, let's go down quickly."

In fact, this time Ron was right and Louis actually went to find Sirius.

Weaving through the crowd, Louis sneaked out of the crowd and stopped in front of a small door.

Looking around and no one noticed, he took out his wand and said "Open the Alaho Hole" and passed by the small wooden door, which led directly to the external courtyard.

It had been three hours since the banquet started, which meant that the Sirius incident had only taken place within three hours at most. It was almost impossible for him to escape Hogwarts within three hours.

But where would Sirius run? Suddenly Louis thought of a possibility.

Walk along the grassy grounds of the Green Courtyard and over the stone steps to the path that leads to Hagrid's hut.

The night at Hogwarts seemed particularly deserted, and with the dementors guarding the surrounding area, the temperature outside dropped a lot.

The weather in September felt as biting as winter, and he had to wrap his hands around his body, pointing the wand in front of him constantly. His right hand even held the eternal stone tightly.

There was no one around. During this special period, Hogwarts had implemented a curfew. However, the teachers were currently searching for traces of Black inside the castle, but no one would have thought that this notorious killer would actually Transform into a black dog and wander around Hogwarts.

The Whomping Willow on the edge of the Forbidden Forest has been erected there for nearly twenty years. Normally, no students would go near it because of the legend of the Shrieking Shack.

But in fact, that legend was just a lie told by Dumbledore to cover up the fact that Lupine was a werewolf. Moreover, when Lupine was a student, he would go there when he transformed. Over time, werewolves would spread from the Shrieking Shack. His howling made the students and the villagers of Hogsmeade believe it was true.

Louis wouldn't believe this, that ridiculous lie was a joke to him, and this was the only place he knew Sirius would hide.

Of course, in fact, a better hiding place is the Forbidden Forest, but the Forbidden Forest is a very large space, and there are spiders and centaurs stationed in it. It is still very dangerous for Louis to break in alone.

The Whomping Willow seemed to sense the presence of an outsider and shook its branches slightly. Louis held up the fluorescent wand, illuminating the area.

Then he saw a pure black big dog appear in his field of vision. The big dog was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that a strange child would find this way.

The man and the dog stared at each other for five seconds. Suddenly there was a burst of movement from the grass on one side. The big dog was startled and was ready to escape.

"Crookshanks?" Louis saw the ginger cat shadow, which was Hermione's pet. Crookshanks barked at the big dog. It sounded like the two were very familiar.

"Louis, what are you doing here?"

Lupine's voice came from behind, and Louis quickly turned his head, only to see the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher holding up his wand, tilting his head, showing a slightly confused expression.

"It's okay, Professor, it's just." Louis picked up Crookshanks on the ground, "It's just that my friend's pet was lost, and I helped her find it."

Lupine didn't seem to believe Louis' words. Then he looked behind him. There seemed to be nothing unusual and he said:

"All the Gryffindor students are asleep in the Great Hall. This is not the place you should be."

"Let's go, I'll take you back, otherwise you won't be able to explain to Professor McGonagall."

Lupine put his arm around Louis' shoulders and looked in the direction of the Whomping Willow from time to time.

Is it my imagination, or is Sirius really there? Lupine shook his head, the last thing he wanted to see was Sirius because he was afraid of the truth.

Looking at the retreating figures of Louis and Lupine, Sirius, who was hiding in the grass, sighed. He took a look, then turned his head and ran towards the Forbidden Forest.
