Chapter 52: The Truth

"Being able to learn the transformation of Animagus is a relatively rare skill, and wizards who master this ability can transform into various animals according to their own minds, and there is no difference at all.

It's just that this magical ability is just as dangerous. ”

Lupin stared intently at Peter, looking at him condescendingly, while the other sat down on the ground, looking panicked.

Colin took the high-end camera provided by the school magazine and filmed the scene, and then immediately turned around and squeezed out of the crowd of onlookers.

He ran out of the theater, ran wildly along the commercial street, climbed the glass plank road, passed through the welcome hall, and was about to quickly exit the dragon farm through the gate.

Suddenly, Colin felt as if he had hit a thick, solid wall, and his whole body was bounced off by a powerful force, and he took a few steps backwards and fell to the ground, and he couldn't help but exhale in pain.

"Boy, walk and look at it!" A tall figure obscured the light overhead, casting a shadow that completely enveloped Colin.

Colin subconsciously raised his head and saw a strange man covered in a black cloak, who seemed to be looking down at him, but did not look at him, this strange feeling was very uncomfortable.

He struggled to get up from the ground, ready to reason with the strange man, but remembering the task assigned by Clarke, and looking at the other party's strong figure, and the other tall figures who were also wearing cloaks behind him, he finally suppressed his dissatisfaction, muttered a few words secretly, and then slipped past the man.

The skirmish didn't leave any image for Colin, and the only thing that made him complain was probably the smell of the big men passing by as if they had been pickled in the sewers of London for a long time.

On the other side, Peter on the theater stage is still being questioned by Lupin.

"As a wizard mastered in the Transfiguration of Animagus, you know very well the cost of this kind of game, which is to make the fake come true and lose yourself.

The longer a person remains in another beast form, the greater the danger.

They will be eroded by the animal they have transformed, and eventually the animal's nature will prevail in man, and the person's reason will gradually disappear, and he will really become a beast, hunted and killed by man. ”

The wizards present were all terrified by the dangerous consequences described by Lupin, and they remembered the story they had heard about the wizard Webberger when they were children.

It is said that the wizard Wei Bojie was particularly fond of turning into a bear, changing two heads in three days, enjoying the feeling of freedom and freedom in the forest, teasing and intimidating hunters who went into the forest to hunt.

But the tragedy happened, and the bear's characteristics eventually prevailed in him, and he gradually disappeared, and he really became a bear, and killed his young son in the forest, and was finally caught and caged by more hunters who entered the forest.

So, no one knows how many of the dolphins jumping in the depths of the sea were once human, very intelligent people, who reveled in the rough seas and forgot their wisdom and names.

"I'm innocent, but I'm scared too!" Peter Pettigrew screamed, "If Voldemort's men are looking for me, it must be because I sent their best men to Azkabanβ€”the spy, Sirius Black!" ”

Blake's face was crooked.

"How dare you say that!"

He growls, and the momentum, which sounds like the big bear dog he has become, is pounced on you.

"Me, Voldemort's spy? When have I ever befriended someone who is stronger and more powerful than me?

And you- I don't understand why I didn't see you as a spy in the first place.

You've always liked powerful friends to get their attention, haven't you? It used to be our ...... Me and Remus ...... And Jaime ......"

Pettigrew wiped the sweat from his face, and he was almost out of breath.

"Me, spy...... You must be crazy...... Nothing...... I don't know how you can say that-"

"Lily and Jaime listened to my advice to make you a confidential." Blake said almost through gritted teeth, in such a fierce tone.

"I thought it was a good idea...... A packet drop meter...... Voldemort must have come to me, not expecting them to use something as weak and incompetent as you...... You tell Voldemort that you can sacrifice the Potters to him, and that must be the proudest moment of your despicable life. ”

Blake thumped his chest with remorse, only to feel like a knife in his heart.

The wizards who surrounded them were also in an uproar, and some of them had more or less heard of the incident.

After all, there is a mystery man involved, and the little savior Harry.

It's just that they had always thought that the spy who betrayed the Potters was Sirius Black, but now the murderer told them that the real murderer was someone else, and it was Peter Pettigrew, who had been promoted as a hero by the Ministry of Magic and had been dead for a long time.

They only felt that their minds were in a mess, and for a moment they couldn't tell whether this was a real fact or a strange theatrical performance designed by the Fire Dragon Park.

However, there are always some guys who are sensitive to political experience, they look at the "revenge" staged on the scene, their hearts turn countless turns, the expression on their faces is cloudy, and after finding that they can't communicate with the outside world with magic, they finally grit their teeth and turn their heads to walk outside the theater, ready to go to the department as soon as possible.

"There's going to be an earthquake here!" The guy who walked to the door sighed in his heart, and then found that there were a few guys who came out with him, and the faces of these guys were very familiar.

Several people glanced at each other vaguely, and quickly pretended not to know each other, and began to run towards the exit of the park.

Most of the people in the theater didn't notice these episodes, and on stage, in the face of the continuous questioning of Lupin and Blake, and the suspicious gazes of those around him, Peter's psychological defenses were on the verge of collapse.

Harry heard him muttering incoherently, words like "ridiculous" and "insane" coming out of his mouth, while noticing his grey face and his eyes that glanced behind the scenes.

"Professor Lupin?" Ron, who had been Spotted's master, suddenly spoke up and asked timidly, "Y-Can I say a word?" ”

"Of course, Mr. Weasley." Lupin said politely.

"Spotted...... Not...... I mean, this - this man - he used to be a pet in our house, and then I went to school and brought him to Hogwarts.

He's in our dorm, in the same room as Harry, and if he's an accomplice to the mystery man, why hasn't he hurt Harry all the time? ”

"That's right!" Peter Pettigrew screamed as if grasping at a straw, pointing his mutilated finger at Ron, "Thank you, my master!" See, Lethme? I haven't touched a single hair of Harry! Why would I do that? ”

"I'll tell you why," Blake stepped forward, "because you've never seen a rabbit or a hawk." ”

"Voldemort has been gone for twelve years, and people say he's half dead, and you wouldn't kill Albus Dumbledore right under the nose of such a crippled, disadvantaged wizard, would you?

You'll have to make sure he's still the biggest overlord before you go back with him, don't you? Otherwise, why would you find a wizard family to hide? Because that's how you can prick up your ears and overhear first-hand information, isn't it, Peter?

In the unlikely event that your old patron suddenly makes a comeback and the situation is safe, you can also choose to go back with him by dedicating the life of your best friend's child again......"

In the face of Black's accusations, Peter Pettigrew opened his mouth, but could not say a word, as if he had lost the ability to speak.

Seeing this, the balance in everyone's hearts tilted a little more to Blake's side.

"I have a question," one older kid raised his hand in the crowd, and Clark had a slight impression of him, as if he was some decent Ravenclaw senior, "uh...... Mr. Black...... Sirius? ”

After being locked up for so many years, it was the first time that Blake heard someone call him so politely, and he was startled, and stared at the young man, as if he had never seen someone like him.

"I hope you don't mind me asking, how did you- how did you get out of Azkaban? If you don't use black magic? ”

"Thank you!" Peter Pettigrew exclaimed excitedly, nodding at him, "yes! That's exactly what I-"

He was about to speak, but Lupin interrupted him with a sharp look.

Blake frowned slightly, looking at the boy, but not as annoyed by his question, as if he was thinking about how to answer.

"I don't know how I did it," he said slowly, "but I have a guess that the only reason I didn't lose my mind was probably because I knew I was innocent." ”

"That's not a pleasant thought, so the Dementors can't suck it out of my head...... But it keeps me sane and knows who I am...... It also allows me to preserve my mana......"

"So when it gets too hard...... I can be in a cell...... Morph into a dog, you know, the Dementors can't see......"

He swallowed, "They approach people by perceiving their feelings...... When I became a dog, they probably didn't think I had much affection – not much like a human and not too complicated......"

"But, of course, they thought I was losing my mind like the other prisoners, and they didn't care.

But I'm weak, I'm weak, I don't have a wand, I have no hope of banishing them......"

Harry listened to Blake's explanation, combined with what Clark had told him about the nature of the Dementors' abilities, and soon came to the truth.

It turns out that the ability of the Dementor is to magnify a person's inner desires, making them infinitely inflated and dissatisfied, so they fall into a state of frustration and loss.

But for Sirius Black, who was already devastated, no matter how the Dementors induced him, he no longer had any desire, so his resistance to the Dementors increased greatly.

In addition, if he becomes an animal, his desire as a human will be suppressed, and he will naturally be able to maintain his sanity in front of the dementors.

"But, just when I felt like I was about to give up, I saw Peter ...... in that picture."

"Photos?" Harry didn't understand what Blake meant, but Blake was quick, so he couldn't delve into it.

"That's when I realized that he was at Hogwarts, by Harry's side...... If the news reaches his ears that the black forces are re-arriving, it would be the best thing for him to do there......"

Peter Pettigrew shook his head, his mouth moving silently, but as if he was hypnotized, he couldn't say anything but keep staring at Blake.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Once he is sure that he has an alliance, he will take action...... Dedicate the last man of the Potter family to them.

If he could sacrifice Harry, who would dare to say that he betrayed Voldemort? He's going to be as welcome as a successful minister......"

"Therefore understand that I must act, and I am the only one who knows that Peter is alive......"

Harry remembered what Mr. Weasley had told his wife the night before school started: "The guards say he talks a lot in his sleep...... It's always the same ......'He's at Hogwarts.'" ’”

"Inspired by this thought, it was as if someone had lit a fire in my head, a fire that even a Dementor couldn't extinguish...... That's not a pleasant thought...... But it gave me strength and cleared my mind. ”

Blake's voice swept away the air of decadence and became extraordinarily determined.

"And so, sparked by this flame, one night, when the Dementors opened the door and brought me food, I slipped away as a dog......

Remember what I said, they don't have a very keen perception of animals, so they are fooled like that...... I was skinny and skinny...... Thin enough to drill through the gaps between the iron fences......

Then, having escaped Azkaban, I swam across the strait as a dog and returned to the mainland...... Walk all the way north and slip into the Hogwarts campus.

At school, I stayed in the Forbidden Forest all the time, hiding near this dragon farm, where there were several sheds for discarded materials.

Except, of course, when you're watching Quidditch, you're flying as well as your dad, Harry......"

Blake, who had said all this, let out a long sigh of relief, as if he was about to vomit out all the boredom and regret that had accumulated in the past twelve years.

His eyes flickered at Harry, who didn't turn his head away, choosing to look at him.

"Trust me, Harry!"

Blake looked at him affectionately and said in a hoarse voice, "Believe me, I've never betrayed Jaime and Lily, and I'd rather die than betray them!" ”

"Don't believe him," Peter Pettigrew screamed, "he's lying!" ”

However, Harry finally believed it, and he only felt that his throat was tight, and he could not speak, so he could only nod slightly.
