The Departed Sirius Black
Halloween Eve at Hogwarts has seemed quite magical in recent years;
Even after the Halloween Feast ends and everyone returns to the Common Room, all sorts of unexpected situations can still occur.
After confirming Luna's safety, Wizet tapped the Marauder's Marauder's Map with his wand and Obscurus Core pumped Ancient Magic Power from his core. "Revelio! Sirius Black!"
All names on the Marauder's Map were hidden, only the outline of the castle and its surroundings were preserved, but the location of the name "Sirius Black" was not shown.
Based on the current situation, Sirius Black has already left Hogwarts; at least within the range shown on the Marauder's Map, there is no trace of him.
Wizet murmured, "Strange..."
He stepped out of the ruined castle gates, his attention mostly on the Marauder's Map, looking at the professors' names moving down the corridor.
Minerva McGonagall... Filius Flitwick... Pomona Sprout... Snape...
Wizet quickly scanned the professors' names and soon noticed a problem—he didn't see Remus Lupin's name.
Lupin was one of the creators of the Marauder's Map. As a creator, it's not hard to understand why he would leave some privileges on the Marauder's Map.
Perhaps keeping the creator's name hidden is one of those privileges;
Today, only Lupin Sirius Black are still alive as Marauder's Map creators;
Perhaps the inability to display Sirius Black's name on the Marauder's Map is related to this.
"In that case... let's see whose privilege is higher..." He waved his wand again, channeling Ancient Magic Power to cast Tracking Spell, "Revelio! Remus Lupin!"
The other names on the Marauder's Map disappeared, and Lupin's name emerged from the outline of Hogwarts Castle;
Lupin was on a corridor on the third floor, presumably also searching for Sirius Black.
The fact that Lupin's name was able to appear shows that even the creators of the Marauder's Map, with the Tracking Spell mediated by Ancient Magic Power, were still able to achieve their intended effect.
"Revelio! Sirius Black!"
Wizet chanted the incantation once more, using Ancient Magic Power as a medium to cast Tracking Spell on the Marauder's Map.
Lupin's name was omitted, Sirius Black did not appear.
Just to be on the safe side, after much deliberation, Wizet used "Ancient Magic Power nurtured by time" to cast the Tracking Spell on the Marauder's Map once again.
The result remained the same; Sirius Black's name still did not appear.
After this verification, Wizet finally confirmed that Sirius Black had indeed left Hogwarts.
He wrote on the bookmark, "Headmaster Dumbledore, Sirius Black is not at the school."
The writing slowly faded from the bookmark, and just as he was about to write the second line, a soft, warm Silver Light appeared before his eyes.
It was a goat Patronus, emanating the voice of Aberforth Dumbledore: "Kid, I think you've passed the test, but don't come to the Hog's Head."
"Those Dementor are in Hogsmeade right now. They're like flies that have caught a stench, wandering around and searching house to house. I just swatted one away."
"They dare to be so arrogant, they've probably discovered Sirius Black's whereabouts... I reckon things aren't peaceful at Hogwarts either, so you'd better be careful!"
After saying this, the goat Patronus lowered its head, spat out a piece of paper, and the light began to slowly dissipate.
Using the Corporeal Patronus Charm as its foundation, Wizet can also perform similar operations after learning the Blood Oath Knight Spell.
The light quickly disappeared completely. He picked up the note, which contained a map leading to the secret passage and a short message.
"Kid, you can use this secret passage to get back to Hogwarts, but I don't think you'll need it."
"Aberforth, thank you!" Wizet folded the note neatly and put it in his pocket. "I'll write you a letter tomorrow... and visit you again this weekend!"
"Sirius Black ..." he sighed softly, "And that wizard with the Dark Mark ..."
It then transformed into the Phoenix Animagus and disappeared into a burst of fire.
The Hogwarts Headmaster's Office.
Bang!
Snape burst through the door, startling Fawkes the Phoenix, who raised his head and let out a long, disgruntled growl.
He stood before Dumbledore, his voice icy as he questioned, "Is this how you end the search? Not even a night patrol?"
"Sirius Black Dumbledore, putting the quill back into the inkwell and closing the file in his hand.
He opened the drawer next to him, took out a bookmark, and said, "I spoke with Wizet..."
"He said that?" Snape's eyes narrowed slightly. He knew that Wizet possessed a magical artifact that resembled a map.
Last school year, Wizet used that map to quickly locate Colin Creevey, saving him from the Basilisk's attack.
"Yes! Wizet didn't tell me the answer right away." Dumbledore. "Instead, it was quite a while before he told me that Sirius Black was not at Hogwarts."
"I think he must have verified that Sirius Black had indeed left before he replied to me with such certainty." He looked up slightly at Snape. "What do you think?"
"Then this is even stranger..." Snape raised his eyebrows, clearly accepting the fact that Sirius Black had left.
"A castle with numerous protections... a castle that can prevent Apparition... how did he get in?"
"As far as I know... there is a wizard with a special background in this school... a Werewolf becomes extremely dangerous during a full moon..."
"He seems to have been in cahoots with Sirius Black, and has done a lot of outrageous things. I think you know who I'm talking about..."
He stood with his arms crossed in front of Dumbledore, exuding an arrogant air. "I told you before the start of the semester that he's not a reliable person."
"Having wandered for so long, why are they now willing to return to Hogwarts, especially after Sirius Black's prison break? Isn't that suspicious?"
Dumbledore slowly raised his head, seemingly oblivious to Snape's sharp aura, "But I believe in him..."
He added gently, "Severus, just as I believe in you... I believe in Remus."
"Is that so?" Snape lowered his hands and gave Dumbledore a deep look. "I hope you won't regret it!"
"Of course I won't regret it," Dumbledore said with a smile, without the slightest hesitation...
