Falsifying history is good business

Chapter 284 Half of the "Predator" Team

Readers of the Harry Potter series know that the Shrieking Shack has appeared in the story more than once; many stories have taken place here since the generation of Harry Potter's father. There is a secret passage under the shed leading to Hogwarts Castle, and the exit at the other end is specially planted with a Whomping Willow for protection.

Seeing the big black dog go into the shed, Lin You naturally thought that the other party was going to sneak into the castle through the secret passage to continue his revenge on Peter Pettigrew. He curled his lips, not interested in this original story, and turned around to leave.

Although this body is only ten years old, Lin You's psychological age has already reached that of a middle-aged man due to the accumulation of his previous and subsequent lives. The psychological characteristics of middle-aged people are that they gradually lose their curiosity and at the same time gradually accept the imperfections of this world.

When I was young, I read novels and felt overwhelmed with emotions when I saw Sirius Black carrying the charge of murder until his death, when I saw the Lupins die on the eve of peace and happiness, and when I saw George Weasley looking for Fred in the Mirror of Erised after the war.

It feels like watching Sun Wukong bow his head under the tight hoop, watching the Liangshan heroes die, watching Lin Daiyu burn her poems and end her love, watching Prime Minister Zhuge Liang die in Wuzhangyuan. When I was young, I always wondered if there was a chance to make up for it and change it, so I liked all kinds of time-travel literature.

But now that I am middle-aged and holding a quill pen in my hand and have the real ability to make changes, I feel uninterested instead; perhaps it is precisely because I have obtained the quill pen, experienced more story worlds in person, and seen more imperfections and regrets, which makes the writer become indifferent.

When people reach middle age, the most attractive thing is interests; for example, the big world plan that can allow Lin You to gain a foothold in the virtual dimension, and the "unknown" that can greatly enhance the status and role of the author.

So, when Lin You turned around and saw another figure sneaking into the Screaming Shack, he immediately changed his indifferent attitude and followed him towards the shack.

At this point in time, anyone other than Sirius who could get into the shed would mean that the plot of the story had changed.

With Lin You's current abilities, whether it be magic or the microcosm, when he really wants to hide his body, few people in the world can find him; even if the snow in Hogsmeade is ankle-deep, there is not a single trace on the snow, allowing him to calmly approach the outer wall of the shed.

There was a faint sound of talking coming from the house, but it was not clear; Lin You pointed his magic wand, and a few balls of white snow flew up from his feet and slipped into the cracks on the outer wall of the shed. Then he performed another transfiguration spell, and the white snow outside the wall turned into a transparent speaker fixed on the wall; the sound from the house was transmitted through the speaker in every detail, clearly identifiable.

Although the deformation and shaping are achieved through magic, the internal structure of this speaker is a standard simple eavesdropping tool specially designed by the British military intelligence department based on the principles of physical acoustics and distributed to intelligence agencies. It does not require electricity and has no electronic accessories. It is purely an ultimate application of the principles of acoustics.

Magic and science, who says it has to be either one or the other?
A hoarse, dark voice came from the loudspeaker: "I don't want to wait any longer, Moony; I'm going to find the traitor tonight."

Another voice tried to dissuade him: "How can you find it, relying on that kitten? Listen to me, Padfoot, wait a little longer, wait until Christmas. There are Dementors everywhere outside Hogwarts this year, and the students can't stay in school. The Weasley child is also likely to leave school and go home; we can do it on the train."

"What if he didn't go home? What if the traitor jumped off the train and ran away? What if he ran away before getting on the train?" The hoarse voice sounded very impatient. Even if he consciously lowered his voice, he still couldn't suppress the anger in his tone. "There are too many variables. The traitor knew I was coming. He wouldn't sit and wait to die. He would definitely run away."

The dissuading voice continued: "He will indeed run away, but only when he has no other choice; he must still be waiting now, hoping to wait for the news that you have been re-arrested, or even until the news that you have been killed by the Dementors." "That's why I have to find the traitor as soon as possible - before I am killed by the Dementors, or the Aurors, anyone will do; but I must make sure that the traitor dies before me!" The hoarse voice almost roared, but finally suppressed its voice.

"No, what you need now is patience. Once you appear in the castle, it will only encourage him to take risks." Although the voice of dissuasion still did not give up its efforts, it was obviously unable to calm the other party's increasingly anxious and angry emotions, let alone convince the other party to accept the opinion.

After hearing this, Lin You understood everything. "Moon Face" and "Big Foot", the nicknames of the Marauders, were all called out. Who else could it be except Remus Lupin and Sirius Black?
It seems that because Constantine replaced Lupin's professorship, Lupin was relieved of the heavy burden of teaching work and had more time to search for Sirius, the two old friends met earlier than in the original story and resolved their misunderstandings.

Come to think of it, the two have been brothers for more than ten years, and it's fine if they haven't met each other. But when they really meet, as long as they are willing to talk, how big a misunderstanding can't be resolved?
When you think about it this way, Sirius in the original plot is truly paranoid and psychotic.

He would rather believe a cat than his good friend Lupin, his former dean of college Professor McGonagall, or Dumbledore, the old leader and headmaster of the Order of the Phoenix. He was so stubborn that he insisted on fighting Pettigrew alone, spending a year performing the magical version of the dog catching the mouse.

He almost got beaten to death in the end because of his own fault.

With a strong desire to complain but nowhere to vent, Lin You couldn't help but shout outside the wall: "How did you survive in the magic world until today with brains like yours?"

"Who?" Two voices sounded at the same time, both filled with panic. After just one voice, the room quickly fell silent again, but the sound of footsteps and moving things still came through the speakers.

The two men tried to escape through a secret passage.

How could Lin You let them do what they wanted? He raised his foot and took a step, and the dilapidated wooden wall of the shed exploded into the house, creating a hole just big enough for the ten-year-old boy to pass through. When he raised his foot, he was still outside the wall, and when he landed, he had already stepped into the house.

Two spells shot towards Lin You at the same time, hitting the "Armor Spell" and making a harsh sound. At the same time, Lin You pointed his wand at the other party and drew a muddy swamp on the wooden floor with a light stroke.

The extremely skillful "Transfiguration" made Remus and Sirius's feet sink at the same time, all the way to the knees, and the whole person suddenly became shorter. But even though the soft mud under their feet made them unstable, they still continued to swing their sticks to fight back, but they were all ineffective in front of the "Armor Charm".

Before the two could pull their feet out, the wands in their hands were knocked away by the "Disarming Curse"; at the same time, the mud in the swamp seemed to come alive, spreading up along their legs, and there was a suction force that dragged them down. Before long, the two sank completely below the waist.

By this time, the two "predators" finally gave up resistance.
