Chapter 146: Conspiracy

After being revealed, Lupin also appeared very calm, "Dumbledore doesn't mind who I am, and asked Severus to help me make a wolf poison potion." So you don't have to worry, I won't hurt anyone. ”

"That's not what we meant," Harry said hurriedly

"Professor, we're sure you won't hurt anyone else. Otherwise, I won't help you take the initiative to hide it," Ivey said calmly, "and we're not here for this today."

"It's not that either?" Professor Lupin frowned, "Do you have anything else important?" ”

"Before I speak, I would like to ask the professor to answer my last question. Why are you called Moon Face? ”

"Because my face is distorted when I see the full moon"

"Who are the big feet, the pointed forks, and the worm tails?"

Lupin didn't answer directly, "That's all that Erin told you?" ”

"Professor, I'll answer that question. But if it's convenient, please answer my question first. ”

"Big Foot is Sirius Black, Pointed Fork is Jaime and Harry's father, and Wormtail is Peter Pettigrew." Lu calmly looked at a few people for a while and replied

"Why are they called by these names?" Ivey asked

"I can't say why," Lupin did not answer

Ivy nodded, "Then I'll answer your question first." These names are derived from a map. It just so happened that I learned your nickname from Erin, so I guessed you knew them. ”

"Maps? Live point map? Lupin said in surprise

"Yes"

"Where's the map?" He asked excitedly

"Gone," Harry replied

"How so?" Lupin muttered

"Professor, can you tell us about the map?"

"When I was in school, James, Blake, and Peter were a bit of a mischievous and prankster. Just like Fred and George now. We often take advantage of the night's bedtime to go on adventures. Over time, they became familiar with the various passages of Hogwarts. Then, the map was made. ”

"So Blake was able to come in quietly because of these secret passages, right?" Ivey said

Lupin was silent

"Why didn't you tell Dumbledore about this?" Hermione couldn't understand

"I've always been cowardly. When I was in school, I still am. I was afraid that Dumbledore would be disappointed that I had deceived him. ”

"More than that," Harry suddenly said, "I think the most important thing is that you believe from the bottom of your heart that Blake is not a murderer. ”

"I said it, Harry. It doesn't matter what I think, in fact Blake is the murderer of your parents. ”

"We'll talk about that later, we've got a conclusion." Ivy interrupted the two, "Professor, can you explain why you are free at Hogwarts at bedtime?" I don't think the invisibility cloak can fit the four of you~"

β€œ...”

Seeing that Lupin didn't speak, Ivey said again, "Harry was talking to us a while ago. said that last summer, when he was still at his aunt's house, he saw a black dog. ”

As he spoke of the black dog, Professor Lupin suddenly looked up at Harry.

Shortly after arriving at Hogwarts, I saw it again. Although Ron believed that the dog was what Professor Trelawney called a sign of death, we didn't take it to heart and thought it was just an ordinary dog. Now that I think about it, I was negligent. How could an ordinary dog come to Hogwarts from the Muggle world. ”

β€œ...”

"Until one time, I took a transfiguration class. You must know that Professor McGonagall is a master of Transfiguration Charms, and Animagus is naturally not a problem. ”

β€œ...”

However, Hermione later checked the information and found that there were no dogs among the Animagus registered in this century. Butβ€”"

"But just because you don't register doesn't mean you don't," Lupin finally spoke. He smiled wryly, "You guys are so smart, it's amazing. That's right, our nicknames are based on the characteristics of the transformation. Blake is a black dog, Jaime is a buck, and Peter is a mouse. They were all Animagus, so we were able to hang out at bedtime. ”

"Well, it's not very impressive," Ivy commented briefly. He thinks that the two dogs are better than the image of the big feet.

"I think it's okay," he said, and Professor Lupin relaxed.

"In return, I'll tell you a little bit about what we've found. Of course, there's bad news in it. Do you know why Blake escaped from jailbreak? ”

"Why?"

"The day before he escaped from prison, Fudge gave him a copy of the day's Daily Prophet."

"What's wrong with that?"

The newspaper featured a family portrait of Ron's family. Among them was a mouse, a mouse with a broken toe. ”

"What!" Professor Lupin exclaimed, "Do you know what you mean! ”

"Don't worry~ I haven't finished talking yet," Ivy said calmly, "This mouse appeared at Ron's house twelve years ago. And after escaping from Blake, the state is getting worse day by day. ”

"Where's the mouse?" Lupin grabbed him excitedly

"That's the bad news I'm going to tell you. He fled again, with a map of the live spots. But people should still be at Hogwarts. ”

"If you already know the truth, why don't you kill him!"

"It's easy to kill him. But what about Blake? Do you want him to run away for the rest of his life, or go back to Azkaban? ”

Lupin, who asked in one sentence, was speechless, "Then do you have any plans?" ”

"Nope. If you want to deal with Peter Pettigrew, you must first find him."

"What are you going to do?"

"First, I need you to find Sirius. Peter now has a map of the living spots, and it is impossible for Blake to find him himself. If he finds it, he will definitely die. ”

"What am I going to do?"

"Blake didn't know about Peter's escape, and he would definitely enter the castle again. In order not to be discovered, the time must be at night, and I need you to block him in the secret passage. We need to communicate with each other first. ”

"Okay, leave it to me, I can find him."

"Do you want to talk to Dumbledore?" Hermione asked suddenly

"What do you say, Professor?" Ivy asked Lupin

"Yes, I'll explain it."

......

Before you know it, it's February. During this time, Lupin often turned into a werewolf at bedtime, going to all possible locations to find Blake. But there was no progress, and Sirius seemed to disappear. And Peter Pettigrew's trail is clueless.

But there is good news for Gryffindor. At the end of January, Slytherin narrowly beat Ravenclaw in a Quidditch match. This gives them a morale boost and if they can win the next fight, they have a chance to challenge for the title.

"You expect too much from yourself," Professor Lupin said solemnly

In addition to his Quidditch training, Harry also practiced the Patronus Charm. After several teachings from Lupin, he was now able to use the Patronus Charm. But he himself doesn't seem to be very happy with it.

"But Ivy and Betty can use the full Patronus," Harry pointed to the two watching. Because Hermione and Ron also wanted to learn, they came with Harry this time.

"It depends on talent, and it has to do with personal experience." Lupin explained, "But for a thirteen-year-old wizard, you're pretty good at what you're now. ”

"Can I try~" Ron was about to move

"No, you're afraid of spiders. Boggart is useless to you" Lupin used Boggart to teach Harry. Boggart transforms into a Dementor when facing Harry

"Ron, why don't I take you to the Dementors to sit down?" Ivey teased

Hearing this, Ron decisively gave him a middle finger.

"Let's take a break, you can't rush the training." As he spoke, Lupin took out a few glasses of butterbeer and greeted.

"Professor, did you tell Dumbledore?" Hermione asked

"Yes," Lupin nodded, "Dumbledore trusts our judgment as well. But he couldn't find a single mouse in Hogwarts."

"Normal, no one has this ability until Peter shows his flaws." Ivy wasn't surprised, "And, Professor Lupin. I must warn you that our every move may be monitored. You have to be prepared when you act. ”

"I have a number"

"Isn't there any way to block the live map?" Betty asked

"Yes, a powerful confusion charm will do. But it's a pity that the map is not in our hands."

"It's too late to think about it now. It's true to be honest about finding Blake."

.....

Soon, though, Harry and the others were in no mood to care about these things. Tomorrow is the day Gryffindor takes on Ravenclaw

"Firebolts and Harry are really compatible," and the others were invited by Harry to watch his training

In the stadium, Harry was so fast that the eyes of several people could not stare. With the rocket crossbow, whether it is a sudden stop, a sharp turn, or a dive, Harry seems to be at ease. In order to test the strength, Wood also released the Golden Snitch. It only took Harry ten seconds to capture the Snitch.

"Perfect! I don't think anything will stop us tomorrow! Wood also made the first mistake of not criticizing, "Harry, you've solved the Dementor problem, right?" ”

"That's right," three or two Dementors didn't pose much of a threat to him right now

"Don't worry! Dementors will not appear. Dumbledore won't let them enter Hogwarts again. Fred said confidently

"I hope so," Wood nodded, "wellβ€”anyway, everybody's doing well." Now go back to the tower, rest early, and be in the best shape tomorrow. ”

"You guys go back first," Harry said, "Ron wants to try his hand at firebolts too"

As he spoke, he handed the firebolt to Ron.

Ron hurriedly took the broom and flew into the sky, excitedly throwing fun back and forth on the court.

"Ron has a lot of talent," Betty said

"Indeed," Harry agreed

Ron's flying skills were slightly inferior to Harry's, much better than them.

"Just look at it now. When we get to the arena, it's hard to say whether I can play it or not. "Hermione knows Ron all the things

"It's all a small thing, and you won't be nervous after flying for a long time. Maybe when Wood's group graduates, Ron will be able to take the lead. ”

"I hope so"

Soon, night fell. The five of them left the dark pitch and headed for the castle. Along the way, it was Ron who was analyzing the performance of all aspects of the firebolt. The others listened quietly.
