The Sorting Hat Is Really Good at Judging People

Just as the group was about to enter the Great Hall, Kyle stopped. He looked at Fred and George beside him and suddenly asked, "Do you guys have Marauder's Map on you?"

"Of course." Fred casually pulled a piece of parchment from his pocket. "We always carry this with us. Why?"

"It's nothing, can I borrow it for a moment?" Kyle said. "I might need it."

"Take it," Fred said casually, handing the Marauder's Map to Kyle before heading toward the Gryffindor table.

"We have quite a few ideas, but it's too late today, we'll talk about it next time," George said, quickly following up.

Normally, they might have wondered what Kyle's plans were, whether he was going on a night out. But now, the two, who had been starving all day, just wanted to eat something quickly, even if it was just a cold boiled potato.

Kyle put away the Marauder's Map and went to the Hufflepuff table on the other side.

After dinner, Kyle went straight back to his dorm and opened the Marauder's Map, carefully looking at the names coming and going.

With less than a week until school holidays, he didn't know what Sirius Black was thinking, but if he wanted to catch Peter, this week was his last chance.

Of course, he could wait until the holidays to make his move. There were no Dementor in Ottery St. Catchpole, nor were Dumbledore and the professors there. It would definitely be much safer to do it there than in the castle... as long as Mrs. Weasley was out.

Or, like Peter, you could disguise yourself as an ordinary pet and blend in.

But Kyle felt he didn't have the patience, and Ottery St. Catchpole wasn't exactly close to Hogwarts. If Black didn't know the way, Hogwarts would probably be in session by the time he found it.

Kyle looked at the map, but nothing unusual happened until curfew was almost up, and Ron was also staying in the common room.

"Maybe not today." Kyle stretched his stiff neck.

But just as he was about to put away the Marauder's Map, he inadvertently saw Professor Lupin leave his office.

Remembering Professor Lupin's earlier strange behavior, Kyle stopped moving abruptly, wanting to see what the other was going to do.

On the map, Professor Lupin made his way to the Seventh Floor, to the entrance of the Gryffindor common room, where the names of Ron, Harry, and Hermione began to move toward him.

A few minutes later, Professor Lupin left, this time with another name by his side: Peter Pettigrew.

Has he met Black?

"That should be it..."

Kyle quickly realized that Lupin had been heading to Hogsmeade lately, and the reason certainly wasn't, as rumored at school, to pursue Madam Rosmerta with her Three Broomsticks... He was looking for Sirius Black.

As his former best friend, Professor Lupin must have known where Black would hide if he were nearby.

Hogsmeade is only so big, and after searching for so long, we're bound to find it.

At the same time, he should have also learned from the other party that Ron's mouse was Peter Pettigrew.

Now, he's probably preparing to confront Black.

With that thought in mind, Kyle closed the Marauder's Map.

Just as he was thinking about how to get Mikel and Ryan out of the way, the two of them happened to be discussing going outside to play a game of Gobstones.

After they left, Kyle cast an Disillusionment Charm on himself and walked out of the dormitory.

He had to get there quickly, otherwise Professor Lupin and Black would most likely start fighting.

The common room was bustling with activity, and no one paid any attention when the door suddenly opened, assuming someone had gone to the kitchen to get food.

Only Kanna, sitting in the corner, turned her head, looked at the empty corridor, and a thoughtful look flashed in her eyes.

On the other side, just as Kyle arrived at the Entrance Hall, Professor Lupin was walking out of the castle gate.

He walked quickly, still looking preoccupied... He didn't even notice the half-arm floating not far behind him.

He left the castle.

From the empty Entrance Hall came Ron's anxious voice, "Does treating a pet require leaving the castle? He wouldn't...?"

"Don't make a sound, Ron!" Hermione said. "Otherwise we'll be discovered. Hurry up and keep up!"

As they spoke, the half-arm floated out the door.

Without a doubt, it must be Harry, Hermione, Ron, because the Invisibility Cloak can't completely cover all three of them, which is why half of their arms are showing.

Then, a very interesting scene appeared outside the castle.

Professor Lupin walked hurriedly at the front, followed by Half-Arm, with Kyle trailing behind Half-Arm...

When Professor Lupin arrived near the Whomping Willow, a large black dog suddenly darted out from the side, its cold eyes fixed on the struggling rat in his hand.

"You shouldn't be here. Go back!" Professor Lupin shouted sternly.

The big dog barked a few times, and the next second, its body twisted and turned into a thin man.

"I can't wait any longer..." his voice was hoarse. "Remus, I've waited twelve years, in Azkaban ..."

"No, we must..."

"So it was you!"

To Kyle's disbelief, the three people in front of him emerged directly from the Invisibility Cloak.

Harry pointed at Professor Lupin and shouted, "You helped Black sneak into the castle, both times! You're his accomplice!"

"I trusted you so much!" Hermione was trembling with anger.

Ron lunged forward recklessly, yelling, "Give me back Scabbers!"

"I've learned something new," Kyle muttered to himself.

Knowing full well that the other person was extremely dangerous, instead of hiding obediently, they directly removed their disguises and chose to confront them head-on... These three people truly deserve to be called Gryffindor; the Sorting Hat's judgment of people is spot on.

That's Sirius Black... If it were someone else, like Barty Crouch Jr.. or Bellatrix, the three of them would probably be spending their lives with the Whomping Willow.

However, the sudden appearance of Harry and his friends startled Professor Lupin. While he was still stunned, Black snatched the mouse from his hand and turned to disappear into the hole under the Whomping Willow.

"Sirius, come back!" Professor Lupin, realizing what was happening, immediately gave chase.

"Scabbers!" Ron followed closely behind.

"Ron ..." These are Harry and Hermione.

In the blink of an eye, Kyle was the only one left on the field.

"The Sorting Hat is really good at judging people..." Kyle muttered again before walking up to the Whomping Willow.

The once volatile Whomping Willow was now unusually quiet. Kyle's expression shifted as he looked at the lush branches, but he ultimately resisted the temptation and jumped into the tree hole without looking back.

Forget it, now's not the time. Let's talk about it later.
