Chapter Eighty-Nine: Gryffindor Is Really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!
After the battle, Hermione also emerged from behind a cabinet.
She watched as Harley applied layers of gray light to Pettigrew's body, and couldn't help but wonder:
"Hallie, why did you just knock him unconscious? Don't you need to interrogate him? ”
"Not yet," Hallie shook her head, "I'm going to take him to find some people and establish some important truths." ”
As she spoke, Harley clapped her hands lightly, and instead of applying curses and black magic, she summoned more spider silk and wrapped it around Pettigrew.
Hermione nodded, blushed again, and said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, Hallie. Earlier my aim seemed to be a bit ...... It's a bit ......."
Hallie shook her head, "It's okay, it's normal. ”
"Actual combat and normal training are completely different, and there will always be all kinds of accidents."
"Not to mention that you haven't had relevant training at all, and you're not good at actual combat, so it's completely normal for you to be nervous."
Hermione frowned subconsciously, as if she was a little unconvinced, but she had to admit that Harley was telling the truth.
The little witch quietly watched as Harley packed Peter Pettigrew, and suddenly whispered, "Then can you teach me actual combat?" ”
"Hmm...... Of course. Hallie nodded.
Hermione, who received an affirmative answer, smiled at the corner of her mouth and did not speak again.
Finally, Hallie finished packing: "Let's go, the Christmas presents are ready in advance." Let's go to Headmaster Dumbledore first. ”
As she spoke, Harley waved her wand, and Peter Pettigrew hovered directly behind Harley.
The principal's office was not far from the Room of Requirement, and the two of them soon came to the stone statue.
"Harry," Hermione suddenly remembered something, "we don't seem to know the password for the Headmaster's Office. ”
"It's okay, I have a way to inform Professor Dumbledore."
As she spoke, the silver Medusa poked out of the tip of Hallie's wand and sank into the wall behind the statue.
After about ten minutes, the stone wall suddenly cracked, and the stone statue jumped to the side.
Professor Dumbledore, dressed in his golden pajamas, strode out.
"Harley, it's not a good habit to call me in the principal's office in the middle of the night with a patronus."
Professor Dumbledore whispered,
"I think the little wizard should have fallen asleep in bed at this time, at least in the common room."
"I'm sorry, Headmaster Dumbledore," Harley said with a sweet smile on her face, "but I have something very important. ”
"yes, it's important." Professor Dumbledore's gaze passed over Harley and Hermione to the tinted star suspended in mid-air.
Although Pettigrew is tied like a rice dumpling with spider silk, his face is still exposed.
"Peter Pettigrew?" Professor Dumbledore lifted his half-moon glasses with surprise on his face.
"It really is, he is." Hallie nodded.
"Looks like something happened at the school that I didn't know about," Professor Dumbledore's eyes were full of solemnity,
"I wonder if you'd like to go to the office and talk to an old man like me? By the way, take this friend who was supposed to die? ”
"No, Professor." Hallie looked seriously at Professor Dumbledore's blue eyes,
"I think we should talk about it in Hagrid's cabin, and maybe call Professor Lupin by the way."
Professor Dumbledore raised an eyebrow, "Things seem to be getting more interesting." ”
"Of course, Harley, but we'll have to go to the office, and I'll have Fawkes call someone."
"Of course, I'll have to call Professor McGonagall in passing. I think as your dean, she is qualified to know certain things. ”
With that, Professor Dumbledore turned and walked onto the spiral staircase behind the wall, Harley following closely behind him.
Hermione glanced at the moving stairs and stepped on them carefully, and subconsciously grabbed the corner of Hallie's clothes.
Upon entering the principal's office, Fawkes stood at his desk eating herbs.
"Fawkes," Professor Dumbledore called, "help me find Minerva and Remus, and bring them directly to me." ”
Fawkes swallowed the herbs in his mouth, raised his head and screamed, turning into a flash of fire.
"Please be seated," Professor Dumbledore waved his wand, conjuring two chairs,
"Drink something? Milk or black tea? If it's milk, should I add honey? ”
"Milk and honey, thank you, Professor." Hallie whispered, and Hermione made the same choice.
After arranging the two students, Professor Dumbledore did not sit down, but studied around Peter Pettigrew.
Harley took a sip of milk as she looked up at the wall.
Because there were new people in the office, the old principals all closed their eyes, and a few old men even snored.
But looking at their fluttering eyelashes, Harley guessed that they were basically pretending to be asleep.
Moments later, Fawkes appeared in the open space of the office with Professor McGonagall and Professor Lupin in quick succession.
Both professors were dressed in pajamas and had wands in their hands.
Upon seeing Professor Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall immediately asked, "Albus, what are you looking for us ......?"
Before he could finish speaking, Professor McGonagall saw Peter Pettigrew, and the rest of the sentence was choked in his throat.
Professor Lupin, who had arrived before Professor McGonagall, did not say a word, but stood side by side with Professor Dumbledore.
"Hallie met a special friend tonight, so I wanted to invite you all to come and have a great time."
Professor Dumbledore said with a smile,
"Hallie suggested we go to Hagrid's hut to talk about it......"
Professor Lupin's pupils shrank instantly, and his breathing shortened for a moment.
“…… So let's talk about it in more detail when we get there! ”
Seeing that everyone did not object, Dumbledore coughed lightly.
Fawkes, who had flown back to the table and continued to eat the herbs, let out an angry chirp and flew to Professor Dumbledore's head, pecking twice hard.
After a little vent about being interrupted eating, Fawkes got to work and sent the men outside Hagrid's hut.
When Hermione finally arrived, Fawkes glared angrily at Professor Dumbledore before falling into Harley's soft arms.
Dumbledore didn't care about Fawkes, who was throwing a tantrum with him, and knocked on the door of Hagrid's hut.
"Hagrid, it's me, Dumbledore. I'm looking for something for you. ”
Suddenly there were a few dog barks from behind the door, but then there was a shout: "Yaya, shut up!" ”
Soon, there was a noise in the door, and the window that had closed the curtains lit up with a faint light
"Professor Dumbledore, please come in." Hagrid said loudly, slamming the door open.
It was only when he opened the door that Hagrid saw a group of people behind Professor Dumbledore.
"Professor Dumbledore, what's going on......"
Before Hagrid could finish his sentence, Professor Dumbledore stopped him neatly: "Let's go in and talk about it." ”
Hagrid nodded, not saying anything more.
When everyone was inside, Sirius, who was lying by the fire, lazily opened his eyes and raised his head, and there was a large number of people coming.
He smelled some people. Three of them were familiar to him, and the rest of the smells were already somewhat unfamiliar, only in memories.
When Sirius saw Professor Dumbledore and the others, he instantly shrank his neck and tried to block himself with a chair.
But when he saw Peter, the dog's eyes instantly opened the size of a bell.
"Woohoo!" Sirius forgot to hide himself, subconsciously howled loudly, and pounced on Peter Pettigrew by stepping on his chair.
But he stopped in mid-air, and the snow-white, tough spider silk bound his four legs.
"Calm down, my dear godfather, Sirius Black."
Harley whispered, not loud, but audible in Hagrid's room.
Professor McGonagall subconsciously took a step back and drew her wand, and Hermione covered her mouth and let out a rapid scream.
Professor Lupin let out a long sigh and lowered his head.
When Hagrid heard Harry's words, he picked up his chair, "Sirius? Where is this traitor! Are you saying that the big black dog is Sirius? ”
"Calm down, Hagrid!" Professor Dumbledore's tone accentuated slightly.
When Sirius's identity was revealed, Sirius's mind went blank.
He subconsciously glanced at Professor Lupin, but Professor Lupin lowered his head and didn't look at him at all.
After a moment's hesitation, the big black dog began to slowly transform into a black-haired middle-aged wizard.
"Sirius." Professor McGonagall looked at the familiar figure and said subconsciously, her voice full of mixed emotions.
"Professor Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, Hagrid...... Harley ...... Sirius lowered his head, his voice shaking.
Professor Dumbledore didn't look at him, but waved his wand.
A chair appeared next to the table, and the cutlery on the table was put away by Hagrid in the cupboard.
Everyone sat down. Sirius was still tightly tied, but the other end of the spider's silk was attached to the chair.
Peter, on the other hand, was placed in the middle of the table, still unconscious.
"Hallie, looks like you know a lot of things. I guess you can tell us what the hell is going on, right? Professor Dumbledore looked at Harry as everyone was seated.
"Absolutely." Hallie nodded.
She then begins with her own encounter with Sirius, including discovering Professor Lupin's werewolf identity and Sirius' anomaly, and locking down Pettigrew through their conversation.
Peter Pettigrew can be found in the end, and Harley is once again pushed to the Potter family's almighty vault for the side magic.
After all, his father and his friends were able to make maps of living spots, so it made sense that the Potter family had a legacy of tracking magic.
Hearing that his werewolf identity had been discovered on the train, Professor Lupin smiled wryly, not surprised.
After all, Hallie is so good, and it is even more abnormal that she didn't find out her identity.
However, Sirius's eyes widened in surprise when he heard that he had exposed so many suspicions, and that he had already been cursed with a surveillance type on his body.
He was sure that although the child looked like Lily, he usually behaved as well-behaved as Lily.
But Harley's essential personality is definitely a mix of Jaime and Lily, a mischievous little devil!
She actually silently cursed herself, monitoring herself at all times.
And after figuring everything out early, Harley was able to say nothing until she caught Peter Pettigrew alone!
This made Sirius feel very frustrated, feeling that he was already old, not as good as he was back then.
But he also has a kind of pride, a kind of pride to see that his juniors are promising.
After listening to Harry's words, Professor Dumbledore crossed his index finger in a pensive look.
Professor McGonagall was shocked and a little disappointed.
I really didn't expect my students to be Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!
As for the truth of the matter, who is the traitor, Professor McGonagall will not comment until the truth is revealed.
But there are three illegal Animagus that I don't know about, and you really quietly surprised me!
Also, Harley's magic skills are so strong, she doesn't even know it!
As for Hagrid, he couldn't say a word, and felt like his brain had been burned dry.
Only Hermione sat quietly, staring intently at Harley, her eyes shining as if there was a star.
"I guess," Professor Dumbledore finally spoke, "Remus, is there anything you want to say to me?" ”
"I'm sorry, Professor Dumbledore." Every word, every syllable, even every punctuation mark that Professor Lupin spat out trembled,
"I have betrayed your trust. Jaime and I wandered into the Forbidden Forest on a full moon night, regardless of the safety of others. ”
"And after Sirius was brought into Hogwarts by Harley, I didn't tell you directly, but trusted my own judgment......"
"Remus." Professor Dumbledore softly interrupted Professor Lupin's self-reproach,
"Words of self-reproach can be said later, and we should start to solve the problems of the moment first."
"As a good friend of Jaime's and an important person, I'd like to ask you what you think about the whole thing."
"Like Hallie said, Professor Dumbledore." Professor Lupin whispered,
"After the Dementorship, I'm willing to believe in Sirius."
Professor Dumbledore nodded, looking at the man tied to the chair, "Sirius, do you have anything to say?" ”
"No, nothing." Sirius shook his head, then looked at Harry,
"If I have anything to say, Harley, I'm so proud of you. I think James and Lily should think the same way I do. ”
"Also, can you let me kill that rat with my own hands and avenge Jaime? The mistakes I made, although I can no longer be corrected, are at least ...... At least ......"
Sirius seemed to think of painful memories, her voice trembling, unable to continue.
But Harley poured cold water on him.
"Of course not, my dear godfather," Harley tilted her head at Sirius, "and if I really want revenge, then I should take revenge and make him pay for it with blood." ”
