Pippin:

There's no mystery. He was writing the chronicle of the Missing 
Twenty-four Hours. <g>

Pippin:
I expect Harry will be, as usual, cornered by the real villain, who 
will explain how he has once again managed to delay Snape. By 
then, Harry will probably have persuaded himself that Snape 
murdered Sirius while hidden in the missing invisibility cloak. 
But this time Harry will put two and two together himself, and 
force the murderer to confess.
