The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

Sirius smiled so happily that tears almost flowed from the corners of his eyes. The last time he laughed so heartily was when he watched Peter Pettigrew "explode" himself into pieces more than ten years ago.

His voice penetrated the dense forest, startling a flock of birds.

Tom heard some muffled laughter not far away, and saw a flock of birds flying from the woods, knowing that Sirius had found the Marauder's Map that he had left behind.

He had left the map there on purpose. The Marauder's Map was a good thing, but it wasn't that useful to him. Sirius needed it more than he did. With this map, Sirius can gain Lupine's trust.

What's more, this is Harry's thing, and Tom can't behave like "whatever he picks up is his". It has to be returned anyway, so why not do it as a favor and let Sirius return it.

He silently left the Forbidden Forest. Gryffindor Tower has been getting busy lately.

…

Sirius wiped the corners of his eyes to wipe away the tears that had just come out. He tugged a few times and tore off the vines wrapped around his body. After dusting off the fallen leaves and soil, he unfolded the parchment he was most familiar with.

Looking at this familiar piece of parchment, Sirius had mixed feelings. On it, the memories and beauty of his boyhood are passed down. At that time, the four of them were so high-spirited, but it was a pity...

It was like a dream, like a bubble of happiness. As beautiful as a bubble, but as fragile as a bubble. What's even more ridiculous is that one of the four people who formed the beautiful memories turned into the needle that shattered this dream.

That Peter was originally a dirty guy. James kindly took him to play with him, but he ended up repaying kindness with revenge! Thinking of this, Sirius's expression became ferocious again. Maybe they shouldn't have brought this guy with them in the first place.

Sirius took a deep breath, suppressed the resentment in his heart, and looked down at the Marauder's Map. Filch had never touched this map since it was confiscated. The four of them had tried to steal this map from Filch's office, but failed. Later, Filch, who noticed something strange, kept the map close to his body.

But it can be seen that Filch has never figured out how to use the map - the magic they left on it concealed the biggest secret of the map, turning it into a very ordinary piece of parchment that could speak dirty words.

A prohibited item, but doesn't seem that important. If they could have calmed down a bit and waited for Filch to relax before stealing the Marauder's Map, they might have succeeded. But they were too panicked at the time - they had put so much effort into this map, and they were afraid that Filch would destroy it if his brain twitched. Caring leads to chaos, which puts them at a disadvantage.

After Filch became vigilant, they never succeeded again. It wasn't until after they graduated that Filch gradually let down his guard and locked it in a cabinet in his office. Finally, the new owners arrived: a pair of naughty twins.

"I solemnly swear that I have done no good." After Sirius said the password in a trembling voice, wisps of ink lines appeared on the originally blank parchment, and the ink lines extended little by little, and finally a map of Hogwarts appeared on it. In front of him.

Sirius stared at the small black dots on the map carefully, trying to find the cursed name. After looking at all the corners of the map, he found nothing. He saw Professor Dumbledore in his office, and he saw his friend Lupine coming out of his office, but he just didn't see the name "Peter Pettigrew" that made him think about it day and night.

Sirius' expression suddenly changed: Where did that mouse go? ! His breathing hitched, fearing that the rat had escaped Hogwarts.

He forced himself to calm down and thought carefully. He realized that Peter Pettigrew's current identity was the pet of a Weasley wizard, so he was probably taken to Hogsmeade by that little guy!

Thinking of this, Sirius couldn't sit still again. Hogsmeade is a good place to escape. That guy can hide just by twisting his butt, and then hide for a few days before swaggering out of the village and disappearing without a trace.

Now Sirius could only place his hope on the little wizard named Ron, hoping that he could take good care of his mouse.

"Ouch!" Ron yelled. His rat Scabbers just tried to climb out of the inner pocket of his robe and was caught by him. As a result, the rat turned back and bit him!

Under the severe pain, Ron let go of Scabbers' hand. Scabbers suddenly fell to the ground, and Ron's heart fell to the ground at the same time. He knew that if he lost Banban in such a crowded place, it would be difficult to find him.

The last time he found Scabbers in Diagon Alley was purely due to his luck. Ron didn't think his luck could always be so prosperous.

Fortunately, a petrifying spell shot out from behind him and hit Banban, making his escape plan in vain.

The person who took action was Neville, who came to Hogsmeade with Ron.

"Thank you!" Ron took Scabbers back into his arms in shock, and at the same time glanced at Neville with some surprise. His use of the petrification spell just now was really wonderful, and Tom Yoder could only do the same.

It was quite difficult to hit the moving Banban at once from several meters away. There was a high chance that he was blinded, right?

Neville looked at Ron's expression and smiled sheepishly, "It's amazing, what a good luck! I thought it would be empty..."

Ron chatted with him casually and didn't take it to heart. But he had no idea of ​​continuing to stay in Hogsmeade and hurried back to Hogwarts.

…

The restless Sirius lowered his head and glanced at the Marauder's Map. He was surprised to find that the black dot representing Peter Pettigrew appeared at the school gate together with Ron Weasley and Neville Longbottom. Sirius was overjoyed: Wes The little devil of the Lai family really did not disappoint me!

Sirius looked up at the sky and saw that it was noon, and he knew his opportunity had come. The third-year students and above were still staying in Hogsmeade, while the first- and second-year students were having lunch. There should not be many students wandering around in the castle, and with the Marauder's Map, they would definitely not be seen. So he took the opportunity to sneak back to the castle.
