Get out of the dormitory.

Harry gave them a copy of the map of the Forbidden Forest.

With the parchment in his hand, he stood up and sat down again, and after a long while, he finally made up his mind and walked over to Ron's side: "Spotted may have found it." ”

Ron froze, his hand shook, and the quill drew a crooked line on the paper.

"Would you like to go and see it together?" Harry extended an invitation to him.

Ron stared at the parchment, his expression numb.

After a long moment, he raised his wand, chanted a spell, cleaned the crooked line, shook his head, and said in a flat tone: "No, I'm still not going." ”

"I'll have to rewrite my dissertation, and when I'm done, I'll have to teach George and Fred a good lesson."

He didn't think about how to deal with "Spotted".

The pet that has eaten and lived with him for two years, and the pet who has heard a lot of whispers from him, is actually an old man in his thirties.

When he first got the news, he was still a little hurt.

But now, that sense of possession has dissipated, and all that is left in my heart is nausea.

I slept for two years with an old man who hadn't taken a shower in thirteen years and had only rolled in the sand.

The thought of this made Ron sick.

"Then I'll go." Harry stood up.

Hermione tugged at his hand, "Going alone?" In case, I mean in case ......"

"Of course not." Harry shook his head, "Hasn't Professor Lupin been looking for him?" ”

"But Professor Lupin?" Hermione was still frowning, Harry had said that Professor Lupin was dangerous.

Harry whispered, "He's safe now, not in danger." ”

Hermione relieved herself and spread her hand: "Come back early, then." ”

"If it's ...... by twelve o'clock"

Harry interrupted her with a smile, "What if it's twelve o'clock and I haven't heard from the Patronus before I go to Professor McGonagall?" ”

Hermione nodded.

Harry waved at her and turned away.

Just out of the lounge.

He took out the parchment, lit it with his wand, and said, "I solemnly swear that I will not do any good deeds." ”

The map resurfaced.

Lupin was in his office, and in addition to him, there was Snape.

Harry waited until Snape left before he walked over and knocked on his door.

"Harry, is that you?" Lupin opened the door, his tone a little surprised.

"What, I'm not welcome?" Harry asked rhetorically.

Lupin welcomed him in and shook his head: "No, it's just this point, a little unexpected." ”

"Did Peter find it?" Harry walked in and got straight to the point.

Lupin shook his head: "Not yet, the elves have searched every corner of Hogwarts, but they still ......"

Speaking of this, he paused and shook his head: "If only that thing were still there." ”

"Map of the living spots?" Harry spoke coldly.

This startled Lupin: "How do you know? ”

Harry pulled out the map from his robe and placed it on the table, "I just got this thing too, and I found Peter's name on it. ”

"Listen to what you said, just guess it, you made this thing?"

Lupin nodded: "Jaime deliberately researched it for the night tour, and we almost broke into the headmaster's office for this. ”

He stretched out his wand and put a little on the parchment.

The tone was remembrance, and he read the command very skillfully: "I solemnly swear that I will not do good deeds." ”

On the map, lines and words appeared, and Lupin swept his eyes and soon found Peter's name: "The secret passage on the eighth floor, he is hiding here." ”

Harry sneered, "yes, I was so surprised when I saw him. ”

Lupin looked at him quizzically.

What is there to be surprised about.

The mouse named Spotted was not determined early on, and there was a high probability that it was Peter.

"He's still in the castle, I thought he would have escaped." Harry continued.

Lupin shook his head, "Harry, Hogwarts is the safest place in the world. ”

Harry didn't speak, just looked at him.

Lupin was stunned.

Think back to what happened to Harry two years ago.

Especially last year, when the Chamber of Secrets was so big, he lowered his head, but his tone was still very hard: "Although you may not believe it, for us, Hogwarts is indeed the safest place in the world. ”

Harry nodded perfunctorily, "Yes, yes, yes." ”

"Therefore, Peter blindly believed in it, and continued to stay in the castle."

Lupin opened his mouth and sighed weakly, he wanted to refute, but he couldn't find an angle, this year's Dementors surrounded the castle, and it couldn't be regarded as a qualified example.

What's going on......

The three years of Hogwarts were unsafe for Harry.

Perhaps, that is, there is a possibility, that this is not a problem with Hogwarts.

Or Harry?

He looked over with a strange look in his eyes.

"Don't look at me like that." Harry waved his hand, "I'm very comfortable, it's all trouble that comes to the door, not me who takes the initiative to find trouble." ”

Lupin was taken aback.

How did he know what he was thinking?

"Your face is too easy to guess." Harry shook his head, "Don't deal with people very often?" Or is it not a normal dealing? ”

Lupin stopped talking, his expression complicated: "Why does your mouth look so much like Snape?" ”

"I'm not like him." Harry continued to shake his head.

Lupin let out an "um" and wondered.

Harry earnestly: "I'm better looking, sunnier, and better voiced than him. ”

"He's a poisonous dung stone, and you're a poisonous flower with the ability to deceive others?" Lupin nodded, thoughtful.

Harry waved his wand, and the map snapped in his face.

Lupin took it off: "Alright, alright, I have to go to Peter, Harry, you go back early......"

Harry shook his head and said affirmatively, "Together." ”

Lupin immediately refused: "If Peter is, it will be dangerous......"

"Is Voldemort in danger?" Harry spoke softly, cutting him off.

Lupin shuddered subconsciously, and he thought in silence.

Harry continued, "If he was the betrayer, then he was the one responsible for the death of my parents. ”

"If he's not, he's just like you."

"Either way, it's important for me to see him."

Lupin still didn't speak.

Harry continued to persuade, "And I'm not weak, and I can fight back and forth with Professor Flitwick in the case of sparring, I don't think Peter should be at that level yet?" ”

"He hadn't touched a wand in thirteen years, and he'd always been a mouse."

Lupin nodded slightly, "Okay, but Harry, you have to take care of yourself." ”

They set off and went straight to the eighth floor, all the way to the back of the grand staircase.

There is a huge landscape painting here.

Lupin was familiar with the road, his wand was a little on the portrait, and he read the command: "Starlight." ”

In the portrait, the stars flowed, the trees retreated, and a red-brick road stretched out from the depths of the trees and fell to their feet.

Lupin was the first to enter, waving his wand and about to recite the incantation.

Harry pressed his arm, "No. ”

Lupin was stunned: "Harry? ”

"There was a bright light that would have caught Peter's attention." Harry whispered, pulling a bottle of potion out of his pocket and handing it over, "Snake Eye Elixir, drink it." ”

Lupin took it, sniffed at the mouth of the bottle, confirmed the potion, and drank it in one gulp: "You have been preparing for a long time?" I remember that this potion had to stay up for a day. ”

"It's a useful potion, shouldn't you always have it?" Harry asked rhetorically.

Lupin was stunned.

Why is snake eye medicine commonly used?

Wizards have wands and can use fluorescent spells.

Not like children!

Lupin touched the wall and walked slowly forward.

Harry followed him, and the witcher could see a little in the darkness, holding the map and looking at the distance between himself and Peter's name on the map.

Getting closer.

A hot, but tiny red glow began to appear in his eyes.

Harry put away the parchment and gently touched Lupin's shoulder.

Lupin responds to him and collides with him elbow.

Both nodded at the same time.

Harry pulled out his sunglasses and put them on.

"Peter, you ...... now"

"Ultimate Fluorescent Flash!"

Extremely dazzling white light poured out from the tip of Harry's wand, overwhelming the sky, blinking through the space, sparkling at all living beings except Harry.

Lupin's tone couldn't calm down: "Harry, what are you doing?" ”

And the rats were angry and chirping like curses.

"Aren't you going to shoot together?" Harry asked rhetorically, "Professor, what are you doing, he's going to run!" ”

Lupin hadn't been able to recover yet.

With a flick of his wand, Harry's robe turned into a rope that flew out of the air, tying up the dizzy, disorienting rat from the bright light and crashing headfirst into the wall.

"You put out the light!" Lupin stomped his foot, his voice loud and angry.

"Knox." Harry flicked, and the glare went out.

Lupin rubbed his eyes and let out a long breath.

"Fluorescent flickering." Harry recited the incantation again.

This frightened Lupin, hurriedly turned around, and took a step forward in a panic, and with a thud, his head slammed against the wall with a crisp sound.

"It's just a normal glow spell this time." Harry whispered, stifling a chuckle.

Lupin rubbed his head and looked back, blinking his eyes a few times before his vision gradually recovered: "Harry, the fluorescent spell can't be used like this. ”

Harry was right: "I'm wearing sunglasses." ”

"I didn't." Lupin sighed.

Harry was innocent: "I thought you would understand what I meant, who knew you were just going to speak." ”

Lupin rubbed his forehead: "It's my problem, I should discuss it before entering the secret passage." ”

"What about Peter?"

The mouse, which had been struggling with the ropes, stiffened and its tail hung down when it heard the name.

Harry waved his wand, and the rope dragged the mouse to fly, dropping it in front of the two of them.

"Long time no see, Spotted."

Harry's eyes were indifferent, staring straight at its sesame-sized black eyes.

"Or see you for the first time, Peter Pettigrew."

"My father, one of my dearest and best friends."

Rats chirp.

On Harry's chest, the amulet attached to the underside of his clothes vibrated a few times in a short moment.
