"Well, luckily I'm smart, otherwise I'd have to do an extra week of cleaning." Carl picked up a mop resignedly and said while wiping the trophy.
"And you two, why did you come so late? Did you get lost again?" Carl looked at them with disapproval.
"If you knew you might get lost, you should have at least left earlier." It's really worrying. I didn't come to Hogwarts to be a part-time babysitter.
James immediately retorted, "We're not lost!" Carl glanced at the excited James, and his 360-degree mouth spit out cold words, "Really? I don't believe it."
Sirius immediately said, "If you don't believe him, you should believe me, right? James and I really didn't get lost. We even left early to avoid being late."
Carl glanced at Sirius. Well, Sirius, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, shouldn't lie to himself with James for such an insignificant thing.
"Okay, tell me why you were late, Judge Carl will sentence you according to the law, Sirius." Carl turned his hands in the air, and pointed two pistols at Sirius in the future.
"Judge Sirius, what about me?" James pointed at himself, obviously he liked to go off topic, Carl shook his head and said in a teasing tone.
"It seems that Mr. Potter's memory is not very good, so let me help you recall, because you have been sentenced to life imprisonment last time, so if you increase the sentence, I can only let you kiss the Dementor."
"Hey!" James was furious, Sirius patted James' shoulder and tried to soothe him, "Okay, let's talk about business."
James raised a finger and shook it calmly, "Guess who Sirius and I saw when we came out of the lounge?"
"Then I might guess it, can you please get straight to the point, James?" Carl was very curious, he wanted to know the answer immediately.
"Well, Sirius and I came out of the lounge and saw Remus." Carl frowned, his expression changed from expectation to confusion, and the mop in his hand also stopped for a moment. "What's the matter? Lupin is from your Gryffindor. It's reasonable and legal for him to walk in the corridor near Gryffindor."
"If you want to find an excuse for being late, please find a suitable one, okay?" Carl planned to continue cleaning.
"Hey, don't worry!" James said immediately. "We didn't care much at first, we just called Remus a little."
"As a result, he ran away immediately, and he didn't know what to do in a hurry."
"Maybe he didn't hear it?"
"How is it possible? He is the most stable and best listening among us. No matter how you look at it, he is suspicious. There must be a secret!"
"Wait for us, right, including me? This should refer to you, and you." Carl made two please gestures with a smile on his face.
"But not me, don't drag me into this." Carl made a cross with his arm, and then tried his best to distance himself from the two guys.
Lupin's secret? There really is one. Carl stopped what he was doing and thought about it. His sight gradually became vague until he looked into the distance.
There was a huge French window in the showroom. He hadn't noticed it just now, but now he could see it by glancing around. Looking up at the sky, a full crescent moon was hanging above, dotted with morning stars, looking dangerous and beautiful.
It's not a full moon today... Maybe he went to the Shrieking Shack to check out the location, which is not surprising. "Then what? This alone doesn't mean anything, right?"
"And you're late just because of this, which doesn't make sense."
"Then of course we can't miss any suspicious places." Sirius lifted his hair and smiled. His face, which was only eleven years old, made him unable to make an evil and crazy expression. Only a child could barely learn the childishness of an adult.
"So? So what did you do?" Carl continued to ask, could it be stalking?
"We followed Remus secretly." A feeling of knowing that this was indeed the case surged into Carl's heart. James and Sirius were still young, but Carl had to tell them.
"This is wrong. This kind of thing sounds bad. What if he has a little secret that he doesn't want others to know? If you accidentally break it, to be honest, you're probably done." Carl said.
"Well, actually we just followed him down the stairs, and then we were caught by Headmaster Dumbledore. He asked Professor McGonagall to take us back, and then Professor McGonagall gave us a lecture and asked why we didn't go to the showroom." James said, they didn't even start to implement the plan, but were caught by Headmaster Dumbledore.
"If you ask me, decide things carefully next time"You should think about these things in your head first, not your butt." Carl was helpless.
"Aren't you curious about his secrets?" James was not convinced. He didn't believe that Carl was really like he acted.
"Of course I'm curious." Carl sighed and decided to reason with James. "But we are classmates with Lupin, and you are roommates and friends with him."
"When you fell off the broom, he cast a floating spell to save you. The secrets that friends take the initiative to share with you are different from those that you break into recklessly."
James and Sirius agreed with Carl's statement. Although they were just curious, they calmed down and felt that it was not a good behavior to pry into their friends' secrets.
"But I believe you will still be curious." Carl smiled with his forehead in his hand, like a cat stealing fish. "Although following and spying is a dirty behavior, it doesn't count if you deduce it from the details. "
"It's easy for you to say, but we don't have a chance to find clues today. After all, we still have to do labor activities for seven days." Sirius made a seven gesture and turned the rag in his hand several times.
"Then wait until next time." Carl knew there would definitely be a next time. James, Sirius, and even Peter, they would accompany Lupin to transform again and again every full moon.
"How do you know there will be a next time? Maybe it's just this time." James carefully checked the back of a statue and used a tool to dust off the dust inside, but his skills were not good, and the dust was all over the room, causing him and Sirius to sneeze loudly.
"Hey James! Be careful!" Sirius was unhappy, "Ahem, I'm very careful! Ahem, this is my first time doing cleaning work! I've tried very hard." James coughed to defend himself.
"You two are troublesome guys, forget it, as the only one among you who is not sentenced, I'd better come to save you. "
Carl laughed and used a piece of cloth to blow away the dust and rescued James and Sirius who were attacked by the sneeze. Finally, he spoke in a very low voice that only he could hear.
"Although you may not believe it, I know it."
