The four of them went over and knelt by the fireplace.
"Good evening, Elwyn, Harry, Ron, and Hermione!" Sirius said with a smile. "You all look good."
"We're fine!" Harry asked hurriedly. "Sirius, where are you?"
"Number 12 Grimmauld Square, in the Blake family's old house!" Sirius replied. "It's safe here. We don't have to worry about being discovered or overheard. Alright, don't worry about me. Tell me what you saw. "
Harry and Ron told him about Kakarov's abnormal behavior in the morning. Hermione hesitated for a moment, then told them about what happened in the castle last weekend and how Moody broke into Snape's office. Elwyn added a few more words.
"Oh, Moody secretly searched Snape's office at night?" Sirius was interested.
Yes, but it was purely because Keresis wanted to obtain the Gill Sac Grass and set a trap for Barty Crouch Jr.
Since Sirius was here, Elwyn planned to take this opportunity to reveal some information to him. Then, he asked about the Ministry of Magic's tracking of the Death Eaters, the vampires' exploration of the ancient warlock ruins, and Barty Crouch Jr.'s situation. He also wanted to see if there were any new developments in the Auror.
Because Barty Crouch Jr. was very dangerous, Elwyn did not tell Harry, Ron, and Hermione about his impersonation of Moody and the truth of the incident.
They did not know Brain Occlusion, nor had they experienced such things.
He and Dumbledore had talked about it and agreed that they should keep it a secret from the others for the time being.
Especially Harry and Ron, if they knew the truth of the matter, they would definitely not be able to control themselves.
If they were discovered by Barty Crouch Jr., the consequences would be dire.
Revealing some information to Sirius wasn't a big deal. It would help Sirius understand the current situation. Sirius would be able to use his identity as an Auror to better carry out his work. In the end, he would also need Sirius' help in dealing with Lord Voldemort. Of course, he wouldn't go to the Hogwarts because he was too worried.
"You don't understand Moody!" Sirius said, "After Crazy Eye entered Hogwarts, he must have searched every teacher's office. Moody probably didn't trust anyone. After witnessing so many things, it wasn't strange for him to do so. But I'll say one thing for Moody. He doesn't kill innocent people if he can avoid it. He always brings people back alive if he can. He's brutal, but he never lowers himself to the level of a Death Eater. "
"If that's the case, Snape might really be up to no good!" Harry continued. "That's why Moody …"
"It's hard to say!" Sirius said slowly. "I didn't finish my sentence because what you've encountered is indeed unusual. Based on my understanding of Crazy Eye Moody, if he were to search Snape's office again, he definitely wouldn't do it in such a sneaky manner. "
"Yeah, he openly searched Snape's office the day before yesterday. He did it in front of everyone. We were all watching. Snape's scary expression …" Harry said, unwilling to give up. "But I think Moody is definitely looking for something. He might know that Snape is doing something shady."
"Harry, we should trust Snape. Dumbledore trusts him too!" Hermione couldn't help but say.
"Stop it for a while, Hermione!" Ron said impatiently. "I know that Dumbledore is outstanding and amazing, but that doesn't mean that a very cunning Dark Wizard can't fool him."
"Then why did Snape save Harry's life when we were in first grade? Why didn't he just let Harry die? "Hermione asked.
"I don't know. Maybe he thought that Dumbledore would kick him out."
"I think both of you have a point." Sirius looked at Ron and Hermione thoughtfully. "To be honest, ever since I heard that Snape was teaching here last year, I've been wondering why Dumbledore hired him. Snape has always been fascinated by Dark Magic and was famous for it in school. Back then, he was a greasy-haired, sleek, oily little boy. When he first entered school, he knew more spells than half of the seventh grade students. He was also a member of Slytherin's gang, and most of the members of that gang later became Death Eaters. "
In the flames, Sirius began to report the names one by one.
"Rosier and Wilkes, they were killed by the Auror a year before the fall of Lord Voldemort. The Slytranches were imprisoned in Azkaban. Avery, as far as I know, he lied his way out of responsibility. He said that he was under a Soul Snatching Curse and that his actions were involuntary, but he's still at large. Also … "He said many names of Death Eaters imprisoned in Azkaban and concluded," Although as far as I know, Snape has never been accused of being a Death Eater, that doesn't mean much. Many of them haven't been caught yet, and Snape is undoubtedly cunning and clever, he can completely wash himself clean. "
"There's also Kakarov!" Harry reminded Sirius. "You said before, he's also a Death Eater."
"Yes, he's also a Death Eater!" "But I don't know what he showed Snape on his arm. It's strange, but if Kakarov is anxious and asks Snape for advice …" Sirius nodded, looking a little puzzled, "But I don't know what he showed Snape.
He stared at the four of them with a serious face, then made a face as if deflated.
"Hermione is right, Dumbledore trusts Snape, and sometimes the people Dumbledore trusts, many others don't. But I think, if Snape had once worked for Lord Voldemort, Dumbledore would never let him teach at the Hogwarts. "
There was a moment of silence. Sirius kept staring at them, and his gaze finally fell on Elwyn.
"Elwyn, did you find anything?" He asked softly, noticing that Elwyn had not said anything.
"Kakarov and Snape are Death Eaters after all, they've had common experiences in the past, it's not strange for them to communicate, especially under these circumstances." Elwyn paused and gave Sirius a look. "What's the situation with the Ministry of Magic? I heard that Barty Crouch fell sick first?! "
