In the darkness, Harry and Hermione, who were chasing the big black dog, were knocked down at once. It wasn't the big black dog or the Daphany in the shadows who did it, but the beating willow.

The big black dog dragged Ron into a hole in a tree under the beating willow. And the branches that the beating willow struggled to swing made it impossible for Harry and Hermione to get close at all!

Harry...... We've got to get help......" Hermione's moans were hoarse, and she clutched her shoulder, which had just been broken by Willow. It's already summer, and she wears very little. Faint traces of blood oozed from between the fingers.

"No! It's big enough to eat him, and we don't have time! Harry said eagerly.

"No one helps, we can't deal with it anyway!" Hermione shouted at him.

Another twig struck at them, small branches twisted together like fists.

"If that dog can get in, so can we." Harry gasped, running back and forth, trying to find a way between the maliciously waving branches, but he couldn't get an inch closer to the tree's roots without being beaten by the branches. And due to the lack of physical strength, his movements became more and more sluggish

"Oh, help, help." Hermione whispered frantically, staggering to and fro, then accidentally fell and let out an "ahhh

At this moment, Crookshan, who had followed him, suddenly rushed forward. It dodged from branch to branch. At this moment, the big cat shows the agility of the best predator in the biological world, the feline. Jumping left and right, not a single willow branch can touch it! It then rests its front paws on a knotted scar on the trunk.

Suddenly, the tree seemed to turn marble, stopped moving, and all the leaves were still.

"Crook Hill!" Hermione whispered, her tone uncertain. Harry's arm, which had helped her up, was clutched tightly and painfully by her. Hermione's tone was low and confused, as if she were muttering, "How could it know —— ??"

"It's friends with that dog," Harry said with a slight frown, and in a somewhat gloomy tone, "I've seen them together, come on, hold on to your wand, and we'll go!" ”

Seeing the two of them passing, Daphany waited for a while in the shadows, and saw Lupin coming over in a hurry. I looked left and right as if I was looking for something, and then I got inside. Daphany smiled, sure enough, creation is so awesome, after modifying so many things, it can still keep important things from changing. Thinking of this, he jumped into a feathered snake with a tail finger and followed. When Daphany looked out for the last time, she faintly saw Snape in a black robe appear in the distance. But the beating willow has already moved, I don't know if this old guy can come along? Daphne thought, and got into the momentum.

The passage was longer than expected, and it took a while for Daphine's feathered serpent to emerge.

She was in a house, a messy, dusty house. The wallpaper had fallen off the walls, the floors were stained everywhere, the pieces of furniture were broken, as if they had been broken, and the windows were nailed with wooden boards. Daphany knew that this was already Hogsmeade, and that this was the Screaming Shack!

On the second floor, Daphany found that the show had just begun, and she didn't seem to have missed anything.

Lupin used the Disarming Charm to disarm Harry and Hermione's wands, and his use of magic was so clever that he even used his magic to cut the rope connecting the end of the wand to the armguard. Although the rope is also very tough, it is only an ordinary rope after all, unlike the arm guards, which are tough dragon skin.

Well, it seems that there is a need for improvement. Daphany in the shadows pondered.

Ron sat in a corner of the room with a shocked expression. The position of his foot was unnatural, and it looked like he was broken.

On the big bed in the room, there was a thin black-haired man who was dirty, tattered and even inferior to a homeless man, and it was naturally Sirius Black.

"Professor, what are you doing here?" Harry, who had been disarmed, looked at Lupin in horror and silently.

"I'm sorry Harry, there's something I'd like to hear from him." Lupin's tone was apologetic.

"You ......" Hermione pointed at Lupin, a look of disbelief on her face.

"Hermione, please calm down." Lupin said as calmly as he could.

"I didn't say anything to anyone!" Hermione screamed, "I'm covering up for you, I believe in you, and Daphany believes in you, but you ......"

"Hermione, please listen to me!" Lupin's voice was a little louder: "I can explain this matter." ”

"Harry, he's a werewolf, a werewolf!" Hermione shouted; "She's betraying the trust of me and Daphany, he's helping Blake! I even wanted to help him, and I was researching the wolf elixir! Hermione's tone was full of resentment.

"Werewolves?" Harry was so surprised that even Ron, whose facial expression was distorted from the pain of his broken leg, couldn't help but look surprised.

"Yes, werewolves!" Hermione screamed, "I talked to Daphany, but Daphany thought Lupin was a good professor, so we didn't tell everyone and helped him hide it." ”

"Daphany knows, too?" Harry's mood seemed to stabilize a bit. "So, Dumbledore must know that too?" 520

"Yes," Lupin replied, he applied a magic spell to Ron's leg that seemed to relieve the pain, and Ron's expression instantly softened a lot. Lupin continued, "Daphany knows, and so does Dumbledore. In fact, Dumbledore struggled to convince some of his teachers that he could be trusted. ”

"But you've betrayed their trust." Hermione shouted.

Lupin wanted to explain, but didn't want Harry to interrupt Hermione.

"Lupin, Blake......" Harry seemed to recover from his anger quickly, "Daphany seems to have said that there is something hidden in it, I trust Dafanie, so what do you want to say now." ”

Daphany in the shadows suddenly felt a wave of emotion for no reason. Harry, believing in himself, calmed down in front of Blake, who might be his enemy, and Lupin, who might be his accomplice, and was willing to listen to their explanations. This feeling of being trusted is indescribable.

"Because you trust Daphine...... Lupin actually smiled at this time, "yes, that is indeed a trustworthy child." As he spoke, he threw back the wand he had handed over in his hand, "I trust Daphany as much as you do, so I think we can come to some kind of agreement." ”

"Then you answer me a question first," Harry was apparently trying to calm his emotions as much as possible, "how did you find us?" You've been spying on me? ”

"Spying? I can't talk about it, but I do pay attention to what you're doing. Not today, though. I saw your movements on the map of the live spots......"

"Do you use a live map?" Harry interrupted him in surprise.

"Of course, I painted it. I painted it with your father, and I was Moon Face, which was the nickname they gave me. ”

"You drew it...... And my father, them? Harry was stunned.

"Yes, although it was a little late at this hour, it was not a big deal for you to come out. I don't know. But ......" Lupin said here on the side of luck, "I found another name, Peter Pettigrew!" ”

"Peter Pettigrew?" Harry and Hermione were stunned at the same time, the mention of the name was something the two of them hadn't thought of.

"Wasn't Peter already dead?" Harry asked.

"Dead, no! I thought he was dead, but he wasn't! Blake, who had not spoken for a long time, roared angrily: "He is not dead, he is not dead, and he is here." He pointed to Ron.

"I'm Peter Pettigrew?" Ron exclaimed, "Are you stupid? Not only did he say that, but he looked at Blake like a madman.

"Silly, yes, I'm so stupid!" When Blake heard this, he cried: "I'm so stupid, my stupidity hurt James." ”

"It's not you!" Lupin continued for Blake, then pointed to Ron's pocket, "It's your mouse!" ”

"Mouse?" Harry and the three of them were stunned for a moment, and then Hermione suddenly exclaimed, "Animagus? ”

Originally, it was not an easy thing to think of Animagus. But not long ago, Blake had just performed the transformation of Animagus in front of them, so that conjecture became much easier.

"Yes, Animagus." A trace of anger flashed on Lupin's usually gentle face, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes. With his green eyes in a somewhat dark environment at this time, it was very terrifying: "He's our classmate, Peter Pettigrew!" I should have noticed it as early as the train. Mouse, hey, mouse! ”

"Impossible!" Ron disagreed: "You two have a nervous disorder. Peter died twelve years ago, and you killed him. He pointed to Blake: "This rat has been in our house for many years!" ”

"Yes, many years. So, how many years has it been? Blake asked rhetorically with a sneer.

Ron froze. This mouse was originally Percy's, and Percy's family bought it for him when he was in first grade. It was already a big rat at that time. Percy was in seventh grade at this time, which meant that the rat had lived for at least seven years. He still remembers that when he was helping Banban buy medicine in Diagon Alley this year, the clerk said that the average mouse only lives for a year or two. Three years is already considered a long life. But Spotted lived for at least seven years.

"At least seven or eight years, right?" Blake said coldly: "A mouse, can it live so long?" ”

"Well, that's what our family takes care of!" Ron still wouldn't admit it, arguing loudly.

"It's not hard to falsify!" Lupin tapped Ron's pocket with his wand: "A Transfiguration Charm will prove it!" If it were an Animagus, it would take on its original form. And if it wasn't, the magic wouldn't do it any harm. ”

Ron wanted to say something, but saw that everyone, including Harry and Hermione, was also looking at him, and finally gritted his teeth and nodded: "Okay, I'll see how you guys look like each other." As he spoke, he prepared to take out the mouse.

"They're always out of the woods!" A cold, mocking voice came, and almost at the same time, a spell flew out of a dark corner, knocking Lupin's wand away.

Snape, dressed in a black robe, slowly walked out of the dark shadows, his face hideous.
