It took a few seconds for everyone to react and their eyes widened.

"Both of you are mentally ill." Ron roared.

"It's ridiculous!" Hermione said in a weak voice.

"Peter Pettigrew is dead!" Harry said, "He killed him twelve years ago!" ”

Blake jerked his head to look at Harry, his whole face contorted.

"I was trying to kill him," he growled, a mouthful of yellow teeth showing out again, "but little Peter had the upper hand...... But not this time! ”

Blake lunged at Spotted and pressed his body against Ron's broken leg, who screamed in pain.

"Sirius, don't!" Lupin yelled, lunging forward himself, dragging Blake away from Ron, "Wait! You can't just do it - you have to make them understand - we have to explain ......"

"We can explain it afterwards!" Blake roared, pushing Lupin away, one hand still clutching in the air, as if trying to catch Spotted. Spotted screams like a piglet, grabbing Ron's face and neck to escape.

"They...... Right...... Know...... All the things! Lupin gasped, still trying to catch Blake. Ron kept it like a pet! There are some things about it that I don't even understand! And Harry...... You must tell Harry the truth, Blake! ”

"If what you say today is true, we will not let the real sinners escape."

Duten stood in front of Blake, holding his wand against his chest. Blake was like a beast, staring at Du Teng with red eyes. Du Teng looked at him without showing weakness, his eyes were very determined.

Eventually, Blake stopped struggling, but his sunken eyes were still fixed on Blob, which was clinging to Ron's bitten and bleeding hands.

"Well," said Blake, his eyes still fixed on the mouse, "tell them whatever you want, but quickly." I was imprisoned for murder, and I can't wait to commit it. ”

"You're crazy, both of you." Ron said uncertainly, turning his head to look at Harry and Hermione, seeking their support. "I've heard enough. I'm leaving. ”

He tried to stand up on that good leg, but Lupin raised his wand and pointed at Spotted again.

"You should hear me, Ron," he said calmly, "and while you listen, hold on to Peter and don't let him escape." ”

"It's not Peter, it's Spotted!" Ron yelled to force the rat back into his pocket; But Spotted struggled too hard, and Ron shook and lost his balance. Harry grabbed Ron and pushed him back onto the bed. Harry then ignored Blake and turned to face Lupin.

"There are witnesses who see Peter Pettigrew dead," he said, "a witness on the street!" ”

"They just saw what Peter wanted them to see!" Blake said furiously, still staring at Ron's struggling spots.

"Everybody thinks Sirius killed Peter," Lupin said, nodding, "and I believed that way myself, until tonight when I looked at that map." Because the live map never lies...... Peter is still alive. Ron is holding him, Harry. ”

Harry looked at Ron and their eyes met, and the thought in their hearts came to their minds: both Blake and Lupin were not in their right minds. What they say makes no sense. How could Spotted be Peter Pettigrew? Azkaban had destroyed Blake's spirit after all...... But why did Lupin cooperate with him?

Then Hermione spoke, in a trembling, probably calm voice, as if trying to get Professor Lupin to speak rationally.

"But Professor Lupin...... The blob could not be Peter Pettigrew...... It can't be true, you know it can't be ......"

"Why can't it be true?" Lupin said calmly, as if they were in class, and Hermione had just discovered a problem in the process of experimenting with Grindy Lowe.

"Because...... Because if Peter Pettigrew had been an Animagus, people would have known. We learned about Animagee in Professor McGonagall's class. I looked it up when I was done with my homework - the Ministry of Magic supervises wizards and witches who can turn into animals; There are records of what animals they have become, as well as their markings and things...... I checked Professor McGonagall's records, and there were only seven Animagus this century, and Peter Pettigrew's name wasn't on that list......"

Harry secretly admired Hermione's homework efforts, but this feeling was immediately interrupted by Lupin's laughter.

"You're right again, Hermione!" "But the Ministry of Magic was never aware that there were three unregistered Animagus at Hogwarts. ”

"If you want to tell them about it, hurry up, Lupin." Blake growled, still watching Spotted's desperate struggle. "I've been waiting for twelve years, and I don't want to wait any longer."

"Good...... But you have to help me, Sirius," said Lupin, "I only know the beginning......"

Lupin paused. There was a loud cracking sound behind him, and the bedroom door opened on its own. All five of them looked at the door. Lupin walked over and looked over to the landing of the staircase.

"No one ......"

"This place is haunted!" Ron said.

The others also diverted their attention, only Du Teng, who stared at the door for a few more moments, slowly withdrew his gaze.

"No," said Lupin, still looking at the door in bewilderment, "this screaming shack has never been haunted...... The screams and howls that the villagers often hear are from me. ”

He brushed the gray hair from his eyes, thought about it for a moment, and then said, "This is where it all began—after I became a werewolf." If I hadn't been bitten, none of this would have happened...... If I weren't that reckless......"

He appeared sober and tired.

Ron tried to interject, but Hermione made a silent gesture to him and looked at Lupin intently.

"I was very young when I was bitten. My parents tried everything, but it didn't work out at the time. The potion that Professor Snape had given me was only recently discovered. This medicine has made me safer, and as long as I take it a week before the full moon, I will remain sane when I am transfigured...... I was able to crouch in the office, be a harmless wolf, and wait for the full moon to pass.

However, before the discovery of the wolf poison potion, I became a full-fledged wolf once a month. I couldn't have come to Hogwarts, and no other parent would have been willing to let their children touch me. But then Dumbledore became Headmaster, and he was very sympathetic. He said that as long as certain precautions were taken, there was no reason why I should not be allowed to come to this school......"

Lupin sighed and looked at Harry.

"A few months ago, I told you that the beating willow was planted the year I arrived at Hogwarts. Actually, it was planted for me to come to Hogwarts. The house...... "Lupin looked around sadly," "the tunnel from here was opened for my use. Once a month, I was secretly sent out of the castle and sent here to transform. I planted that tree at the entrance of the tunnel so that no one would encounter me when I was in danger to people. ”

Harry didn't understand what Lupin meant by this, but he was still fascinated. The only sound other than Lupin's voice was Spotted's scream of fear.

"In those days, my metamorphosis was horrible. Turning into a werewolf is very painful. When I want to bite, I stay away from the crowd, so I bite myself and scratch myself. The noises and screams that the villagers heard thought they were hearing the voices of particularly ferocious ghosts. Dumbledore encouraged people to spread these kinds of rumors. So even now, even though the house has not had such a sound for many years, the villagers are afraid to approach it......"

Next, Lupin carefully explains his own affairs, as well as the past between his three companions, Blake, Jaime, and Peter, and the fact that they studied Transfiguration privately for him, but were not registered.

Then they talked about all sorts of things that had happened to them, and inadvertently uttered the word Snape.

"Snape?" Blake said in a hoarse voice, looking at Lupin for the first time in a few minutes without looking at Spotted, "What does Snape have to do with this?" ”

"He's here, Blake," Lupin said heavily, "and he's teaching here, too." ”

He looked up at Harry, Ron, and Hermione.

"Professor Snape was with us at school. He had vehemently opposed the appointment of me as a Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher. He kept telling Dumbledore that I couldn't be trusted. He has his reasons...... You see, Sirius once played a joke on him and almost killed him, and that joke had something to do with me......"

Blake made a mocking sound.

"He deserves it," he sneered, "sneaking around wondering what we're going to do, hoping to get us expelled......"

"Severus was particularly interested in where I went each month," Lupin told Harry, Ron, and Hermione, "and we were in the same grade, and we didn't really like each other. Snape saw me walk through the field with Madam Pomfrey one evening, and she led me to the Beater Willow to transfigure. Sirius told Severus: "Just touch the knots on the trunk with a long stick and follow me into the hollow; Sirius thought it would be fun to do so. Well, of course Snape tried—if he walked to the house, he'd be met with a werewolf through and through—but your father, when he heard what Sirius was doing, he followed Snape and pulled him back, risking his own life...... But Snape saw me, at the end of the tunnel. Dumbledore wouldn't allow him to tell anyone, but from then on, he knew what I was......"

"No wonder Snape doesn't like you," Harry said slowly, "because he thought you were joking in too?" ”

"Yes." A grim voice on the wall behind Lupin said.

Severus Snape pulled off his cloak of invisibility, his wand pointed at Lupin.

Hermione screamed. Blake jumped to his feet. Harry jumped to his feet, as if he had been electrocuted.

Snape's appearance completely changed the situation in the room, and with a triumphant smile on his face, he didn't stop any explanation from Lupin and Blake, and he was about to twist them in front of Dumbledore.

At this moment, Du Teng made a move.

"I'm sorry, Professor Snape, but I'm very interested in Peter Pettigrew, and I have a lot of respect for Mr. Lupin, so ...... Except for your weapons! ”

Du Teng pushed his wand violently, and a large beam of light **** came out, hitting Snape, directly knocking him out, hitting the wall, and directly unconscious.

"You, you actually shot at the teacher......"

Lupin stared at him with wide eyes, and the others looked shocked.

"So you should have reason to believe my guts, and go on, the truth of all this, I am really curious, what is really going on between you. Don't try to run away, if I find out that you are lying or running away in any way, I will shoot directly, and what awaits you will definitely not be better than Snape's. ”

Du Teng said with a cold face, directly shocking everyone in the room.

Lupin was stunned, looked at Blake for a moment, and then nodded with a wry smile.

"Now I will give you some proof," said Blake, "and you, boy, give me Peter." Right now. ”

Ron gripped Blob tighter.

"Don't touch it." "Do you want to say that you escaped from Azkaban just to attack Madara?" I mean......" He looked at Harry and Hermione, asking for their support. "Well, let's just say Peter Pettigrew will turn into a mouse - there are thousands of rats in the world - and he's locked up in Azkaban, how can he know which mouse he's looking for?"

"You know, Sirius, that's a fair question," Lupin said, turning to Blake and frowning slightly, "how did you find out where he was?" ”

Blake reached into his robe with a hand like a bird's claw and pulled out a crumpled piece of paper. He smoothed the paper and showed it to everyone.

It was a picture of the Rons, which was featured in the Daily Prophet last summer, and it was spotted on Ron's shoulders.

"How did you get this paper?" Lupin asked Blake, taken aback.

"Fudge," said Blake, "gave me this newspaper last year when he visited Azkaban. That's Peter, on the front page of the newspaper, on the boy's shoulder, I recognized him at once, how many times have I seen him deformed? The caption under the photo says that the boy will go back to Hogwarts to attend school, to where Harry is......"

"Oh God," Lupin said mildly, looking at Spotted, then at the newspaper photograph, and then at Spotted, "its front paws ......"

"So what?" Ron said nonchalantly.

"It's missing a toe." Blake said.

"Of course," Lupin whispered, "it's so simple, so clever...... Did he cut it off on his own? ”

"Before he was transformed," said Blake, "I had cornered him so far that the whole street heard him that I had betrayed Jaime and Lily. Then, before I could curse him, he blew up the entire street with a wand hidden behind his back, killing everyone within twenty feet of him, and fled into the gutter with the other rats...... There was only one finger left. ”

Blake finally said this, and all of a sudden, everyone's eyes were delusional about the mouse in Ron's hand, if what Blake said was true, then this mouse was the one who betrayed Harry's parents, Peter Pettigrew!

Duten's wand was aimed at Ron at the right time. (To be continued.) )
