Pride prevents others from loving you, and prejudice prevents you from loving others.

If you look at others with pride and prejudice, they will naturally do everything wrong.

This is also Blake's biggest problem.

Back then, if there was no such prejudice, he would have changed the matter of secrecy and told Lupin, one of the marauders.

Maybe everything will be different.

Judging by Lupin, who William came into contact with, the professor would definitely do everything to save Black.

At least Dumbledore would know the truth and wouldn't let him stay in Azkaban for twelve years.

Therefore, prejudice kills people, but Blake chose prejudice when he should not be prejudiced.

"Why didn't you let Dumbledore be a secret in the first place?" William stared at Blake and asked another pointed question.

"As far as I know, the headmaster has proposed that he be the secret!"

Blake looked up and asked, "William, I've heard your conversation over the summer, and you have a safe house too."

Did you make Dumbledore a secret? ”

"Nope." William shook his head, "I'm a secret-keeper myself. I'm confident that nothing will happen and that it's still my home. ”

It wasn't that he hadn't considered making Nicol or Dumbledore a secret. In the end, I chose myself.

On the one hand, it was his home with Hermione and Annie. Only a confidential person can allow others to enter the house.

He can't just go to Dumbledore every time to apply, can he?

"That's right." Blake smiled wryly. "We thought so at the time, and we thought it was going to happen.

I don't want to, I go to trouble Dumbledore every time.

He was a confidential man for at least twenty safe houses at the time, and even ...... More!

Countless Death Eaters wanted his life, and Voldemort saw him as his most formidable adversary.

We don't want to put any more pressure on him, and we don't want to put all our eggs in one basket.

So Jaime chose me. ”

William raised his head and frowned slightly, Hermione noticed his movements, and the two of them had a clear heart, and without him asking, she spoke:

"What about Jaime or Lily, why don't they both be secrecy themselves?"

Blake stared at the top of the cave.

"You are too young to know what it was like...... At that time, the Wizarding War had been going on for several years.

Every day is dying ...... Familiar, unfamiliar, seen, unseen......"

He shook his head miserably and said: "In that kind of environment, anyone can die, and no one will be naïve to think that they are not the one who deserves to die!" ”

"It's even more impossible for you to hide for the rest of your life just because Voldemort wants to kill you, be a coward, and watch your companions die one by one.

That's not Gryffindor! ”

His voice roared out of his throat.

Even after Voldemort gave the order to kill, Jaime and Lily still left the safe house to fight secretly and carry out missions for the Order of the Phoenix.

Every time they went out, they would leave one alone at home to take care of Harry, who was still a baby. ”

"But because of Voldemort's orders, the Death Eaters saw them as if they were mad.

They replaced the confidential person with me, who was much less stressed.

In this way, even if something happens to them, their family's Loyal Curse will work normally. ”

"But someone leaked the secret and revealed the identity of my secret person.

On a whim, I secretly changed my name to Peter and grabbed the attention of the Death Eaters on my own.

I didn't tell Dumbledore or Remus after I took it upon myself to convince James, for reasons you already know. ”

Blake's face contorted spasmodically.

“…… On the day of the accident, I went after Peter. I cornered him with nowhere to run, and he shouted so loudly that the whole street heard me that I had betrayed Jaime and Lily.

Before I could kill him, he blew up the entire street with his wand hidden behind his back, killing everyone within twenty feet of him, and fled into the gutter with the other rats......

I was not judged, I was not justified, and I repented in Azkaban for twelve years.

The whole thing...... That's it. ”

Blake clenched his fists, his lips trembling, and closed his eyes.

"It's all my fault, if I hadn't persuaded Jaime, he and Lily wouldn't have died...... I hurt them......"

There were tears in Hermione's eyes, and the knuckles of her hands were white, and she hugged William's arm tightly.

Anne was also full of tears, wiping it around.

William's lips twitched, and at last he sighed silently.

Blake's words, logically reasonable, also fully supported the previous speculation.

For example, Peter is a hero, why did he become a mouse incognito for so many years, and why did he become Tom's spy.

Because, he is not from this side in the first place!

"If you don't believe me, just catch that mouse." Blake pleaded.

"Just catch him and give him a pill of truth, and you'll know everything."

William waved his wand, unspelling Black's magic and conjuring a chair for him to sit down.

"In fact, at Christmas, we noticed that there was something wrong with the spots." William whispered, yes.

Blake looked at William in amazement.

"You ......," he stumbled. How did you find out......"

Twelve years ago, Peter had already sealed his coffin and received a Merlin Order of Merlin after his death, and they could still notice the anomaly?

He knew that William and Hermione were smart, but he didn't expect it to be so ...... Clever!

"Isn't that easy?" He was inexplicably excited. "Go and get him...... He was with the Weasley boys. ”

"Earlier tonight, the rat was sick and dead." Hermione shook her head.

"What, sick to death?!" Blake froze.

"Peter is dead, he's really dead......" Blake looked at a loss, not knowing whether to be happy or lost.

"Don't be in a hurry to rejoice, it's a real rat who died." William said slowly.

"At Christmas, we told Dumbledore about the suspicion and found Spotted.

But when he used the Transfiguration Charm, there was no reaction. ”

"It must have been dropped by Peter." Blake's voice was hoarse.

"He must have sensed the danger and looked for a similar mouse in advance. No one knows how to pretend to be dead better than him!

He did this kind of thing thirteen years ago! ”

"Here's the problem, we don't know where Peter is hiding now!" Hermione's expression was serious.

Blake thought for a moment and suddenly grinned:

"We made a map of the living spots. When I graduated, I deliberately let Filch take it away, thinking that he would stay and help other students......"

He glanced at Anne and immediately used a slightly more elegant word. "Learn!"

"That map shows the name...... If we find it......"

"You mean that?" William pulled out a sheepskin map.

He nodded, and it was immediately covered with lines and names.

“……”

Blake wanted to know what the three little guys in front of him didn't know, or didn't have.

He seriously doubted that if he asked Ravenclaw to lose the crown, the other party would be able to pull out a big surprise for him in a minute!

Blake suppressed his frustration, picked up the map, and took a closer look.

After a moment, he shook his head: "It's very similar...... But the painting process is much better than what we make. ”

"This map of Hogwarts is a map of the living places." William explained.

"Many years ago, Fred and George stole the map of the living point from Filch's office.

I've also improved the map based on the tracking charm, and the function is basically the same as the live map. ”

"That's great." Blake also noticed this, and he rubbed his hands together in surprise. "We just need to find Peter's name on it......"

His expression froze.

If Peter could be found on the map, the clever little wizards in front of him would have gone to catch him.

"Peter must have erased his name." Blake was a little smarter, his eyes were cloudy.

"Otherwise, you'll have escaped from Hogwarts."

Several people sighed at the same time.

William thought for a moment and looked at the Gryffindor common room.

He had a crazy thought.

Ron was a little grumpy tonight!

He had no reason not to recognize the mouse, not his own spots.

After all, after living together for so long, even if you really imagine it, there must be nuances.

Others will admit their mistakes, and he shouldn't be right.

Professor Snape's office was burglarized, and Peter wouldn't steal the herbs and take the opportunity to make a polyjuice decoction and become Ron, right?

And really Ron, who was imprisoned by Peter and secretly got up?

William was also taken aback by the thought.

His gaze quickly wandered over the Gryffindor dormitory.

But then he shook his head and dismissed the idea.

Because the location of Harry's dormitory clearly has five names.

Except for the Neville trio, among them, representing the names of Harry and Ron, who were moving quickly around the dormitory.

Ron seems to be chasing Harry...... The two were probably joking.

Peter can erase his name, but he can't change his name directly to Ron.

If he had turned into Ron with Polyjuice Potion, Ron himself would definitely be imprisoned and would not have been able to move so quickly.

The name probably won't appear in the dormitory either.

After all...... Maps don't lie!
