Chapter 127: The Truth Is Like a Knife
In the screaming shack, Harry and Hermione keep the injured Ron behind.
The two of them raised their wands and aimed them at the tall, scrawny man in front of them. He was dirty, with long black hair scattered and half of his face covered. Holding Ron's new wand in his hand, he pointed straight at Ron.
"You need to calm down, Harry." Sirius's voice was hoarse, with a strange feeling, a little tired, and a deep hatred.
"I'm calm!" Harry shouted, "You traitor, murderer! ”
"Say whatever you want......" Sirius took a step forward, "Now, get out of the way!" ”
"Impossible!" Harry and Hermione stood firmly in place, holding Ron behind him, "You killed my mom and dad, and now you're going to kill my best friend!" ”
"You'll pay, I swear! I'll make you pay for what you do! ”
Sirius laughed suddenly, but no one could see what its hair-covered face looked like.
"Except for your weapons!"
Hermione took advantage of her unpreparedness to attack first, but Sirius easily stopped her. Harry shouted and rushed forward, even though he had his wand in hand, but he didn't release any magic.
Enraged, Harry had completely forgotten that he was a wizard, and he wanted nothing more than to go up and punch Sirius hard.
He did it.
Sirius was grabbed by Harry's wrist and smacked hard in the face, causing him to stumble with such force. Harry also used all his strength, and the two of them slammed into the wall together, and then rolled to the ground.
"You killed my parents!"
"You demon!"
"Traitor!"
Harry cried out in a heart-rending cry, fist after fist landing on Sirius. Sirius seemed to be blinded, and the wand in his hand fell to the ground at some point.
He didn't resist either, allowing Harry's fist to fall on him.
"Enough, Harry!"
"Kill him, Harry!"
Hermione and Ron shouted loudly, but Harry didn't stop at all. Grabbed Harry's arm, but was quickly freed.
"Hold Harry with me! He should be given to Aoro! Hermione shouted to Ron.
"Kill him! Shoot him! Ron still shouted to himself, clutching Spotted with both hands, even though his fingers were bitten bloodied.
"Damn it! Let go of that stupid rat and hold Harry! Hermione used all her strength to pull Harry away from Sirius, but that was all she could do. Harry let out a low beast-like roar and struggled so hard that Hermione couldn't control it.
Perhaps frightened by Harry's appearance, Ron finally reached out his right hand and grabbed one of Harry's arms, but his left hand was still holding the spot.
But it was clear that this still didn't hold Harry.
"With two hands! Damn it, two hands! ”
Enraged, Hermione drank Ron down, finally letting go of his left hand. Spotted, who looked like he had lost his breath, suddenly opened his four legs and plunged into the darkness in the blink of an eye.
"No!"
"What did you do! What did you guys do! ”
Sirius wailed in despair as he struggled to his feet from the ground, his hands waving wildly in the air.
"It's all petrified!"
Suddenly, a spell came through the wall and hit the darkness with a "bang" like a stone hitting the wall.
"Crunch ......"
The broken wooden door was pushed open from the outside, and Lupin walked in with his wand in hand.
Harry seemed to recover a little, and shouted, "Professor Lupin! He's Sirius! Get him! ”
Lupin glanced at the three Harry, then at Sirius, who was standing nearby.
"Except for your weapons!"
"The wand is flying!"
The wand in Hermione's hand came out of her hand, and the two that Harry had thrown on the ground and the one that Hermione had knocked off also flew up, and were caught in Lupin's hand.
"You believe it? Remus. ”
Sirius's hoarse voice sounded, and he was a little relieved.
"It's not enough, Sirius." Lupin pointed his wand at a few people, quietly moved into the darkness, and picked up the specks that had been petrified by the spell.
"Hahaha...... It's him, it's him! Sirius laughed maniacally.
"That doesn't fully explain ......" Lupin wondered as he looked at the spot in his hand.
Suddenly, his eyes widened.
"You...... You...... You're changing! And didn't tell me! ”
He saw Sirius' head hanging slightly, hugged him, and patted him the back with his right hand.
"Why didn't you tell me! Why don't you tell me! Lupin's voice was filled with pain and remorse.
"Hahaha...... Ahem...... I deliberately didn't tell anyone! I didn't tell anyone! ”
Sirius's tears hit Lupin's shoulders, unbridled catharsis, but not a trace of crying could be heard.
Hermione and the three watched as they hugged each other and cried as if they had been under a petrification spell, and at one point, Hermione suddenly let go of the hand that was holding Harry's arm, pointed at Lupin and shouted, "You actually ...... You ...... with him"
"I didn't tell anyone! I've been hiding it from you! ”
"Calm down, Hermione." Lupin said, but Hermione didn't listen to him at all.
"I trust you so much! Harry trusts you so much! But ......"
"You're friends with him!" Harry suddenly shouted, and Ron, who had managed to get up, also shouted, "You helped him infiltrate the castle!" ”
"Accomplice! Accomplice! ”
"Calm down, I didn't!" Lupin shouted, the sudden increase in his voice startled the trio.
After calming down a little, he said, "I didn't help Sirius infiltrate the castle, and I don't want Harry to be harmed in any way. ”
"Until now, I didn't see Sirius as a friend, you misunderstood......" he said, taking a step forward.
"Don't come here! Werewolf! ”
Lupin's second step suddenly stopped in mid-air, and his face showed a hint of difficulty: "You...... Got it? Hermione? ”
Hermione nodded, "Since I finished my homework assigned by Snape......"
"You're the smartest witch I've ever met." Lupin sighed, "That's what he's for, he wants someone to notice......"
"But it seems, only you guessed ......"
"Not really." Hermione shook her head, but said no more.
"I won't hurt you, not even Sirius." Lupin walked slowly to the group and handed over the three wands, "Take it, return the wand to you, it is enough to prove it." ”
"But how could he have infiltrated the castle without you?" Harry glared at Sirius fiercely.
"I don't know, but I really didn't help him."
Before Harry could speak, Hermione suddenly asked, "How did you know we were here?" ”
Lupin looked at Hermione appreciatively and pulled an old piece of parchment from his robe.
"Remember this?"
"Live Point Map!" Harry wondered, "Will you use it?" ”
"Of course I will." Lupin was a little impatient, "I participated in his production, I am the moon face......"
"But ......"
Lupin interrupted Harry with a sharp wave of his hand.
"The point is, I saw people on the map who shouldn't have been!" Lupin raised his voice abruptly, then slowly flattened, "Today is the day Hagrid's Hippogriff was put to death, and I think you will comfort him......"
"I saw you walk across the lawn into Hagrid's hut. About twenty minutes later, you left with one more person by your side......"
"Who!" Ron asked suddenly.
"I couldn't believe my eyes, I thought the map was broken, after all, it had been created for so many years, how could he be with you?" Lupin said to himself.
"Later, I saw another man, who moved towards you quickly, and then collided with you, dragging two of you into the beating willow ......"
"One! It's one! Ron was annoyed.
"No, it's two." Lupin shook his head and took out the petrified Spot, "It's not a mouse. ”
"He's certainly not a mouse!" Sirius smirked, "He's a wizard!" ”
"Animagus! He's Peter Pettigrew! ”
