Ciris Black and Peter Peddiru, two Azkaban fugitives, were easily knocked down and captured by Gellert Grindelwald's minions.

There is no doubt that Mr. Prilinger and Professor Kettleburn have done their job well.

Things turned out somewhat unexpectedly.

Obviously, for this large-scale "rebellion", Grindelwald has long been prepared and arranged.

In addition, it is even possible that he is trying to use this "rebellion" to achieve some of his goals......

......

And at the same time, in the basement of the castle -

A sneaky-looking figure walked briskly down the hallway...... He didn't pay any attention to the house-elves who were rebelling not far away......

He was so fast that he didn't stop until he was in front of a stone door with a large green snake painted on it...... This stone door is the entrance to the Slytherin common room.

And that sneaky figure also showed his true colors:

The self-proclaimed "Delix" Auror!

He gently touched the head of the snake on the stone door, and then said:

"Pandora's Box!"

The serpent on the stone door began to squirm slowly, and as she moved, the stone door was opened.

There is no doubt that the Auror "Delix" uttered the correct password to enter the Slytherin common room.

In the past, the common room was bustling and lively, but now there is no one to ...... This was normal, almost the entire Slytherin students had been scared away, the junior students had already left the castle, and the middle and upper students were now trapped on the second and third floors.

Delix's movements were anxious, and he seemed to be looking for something here.

It's just—

He was suddenly stunned.

Because he suddenly found that not far from him, on an armchair by the fireplace in the common room, was sitting a wizard.

He seemed to have used the Illusion Charm on himself just now, so "Delix" didn't notice him in the first place...... And now, he has manifested the prototype, and has drawn his wand, aiming at "Delix".

This wizard who suddenly appeared was Professor Severus Snape, the Transfiguration teacher at Hogwarts.

......

"Mr. Delix, can you explain?" Professor Severus Snape asked calmly, "I think you should be in Aberdeen with your fellow Aurors and the damned Dementors at this time!"

His wand was aimed at Delix's chest, and he didn't let his guard down at all.

"Yes, that's the ......" "Delix" seemed to be in a calm mood, "but I realized something wasn't quite right, so I returned to Hogwarts early!"

"......I see," Professor Severus Snape "suddenly realized," and he smiled, "Then I have another question, why are you here?, this is the Slytherin common room, and if I'm not mistaken, you're supposed to have graduated from Ravenclaw House......"

"Because the whole castle has been taken over by the dark wizards," Delix continued, "I must find a place that is a little safer and wait for Grindelwald's return......"

"Sounds like a good reason," Severus Snape commented, "but normally we don't call Lord Grindelwald by his first name......"

"Dlux"'s face changed slightly.

Obviously, he knew that he had been thoroughly recognized...... Even the other party came prepared, and was already ambushed here.

As he looked around and pondered a plan to get out, he continued to wrestle with Severus Snape......

"What are you looking for?" Professor Snape asked coldly.

"I don't understand......" "Dallux" looked very dazed.

"I ask ......," Professor Snape exclaimed, "what are you members of the Order of the Phoenix, occupying the castle, what are you trying to find here?"

At this moment, Dlux finally got a clear ...... Their plans seem to have gone bankrupt completely, Gellert Grindelwald, looking further than they could......

His whole body also became a little more relaxed.

"I'm not going to answer your question, no doubt I'm going to know that......" he asked, spreading his hands, a little tentatively, "Remus?"

This time, it was Professor Snape's turn to change his face suddenly.

"It seems that my identity has also been discovered by you......" he said faintly, "Jaime!"

......

The two people who had exposed each other's identities stood face to face.

"I couldn't be sure," James Potter's expression looked very sad:

"I've never been sure who the man who betrayed us fifteen years ago was...... I'm more suspicious of Severus Snape, but I know this Snape from Hogwarts can't be real...... I even doubted Siris and Peter, but I didn't expect it to be you, Remus, I thought we were best friends......"

"Yes, it's me," Remus Lupin nodded, his face unwavering.

"There's so much evidence in front of me that I don't want to believe it," Jaime said, looking agitated.

"Every time there is a full moon, it disappears from the Hogwarts campus for a variety of reasons...... Remus, my friend, you're still the same...... You're a werewolf, after all!"

"That's right......," Lupin nodded, "but thankfully, in the last year, when I had to disappear from Hogwarts several times, there was a little accident around me...... This gives me a natural excuse that doesn't raise any suspicions......"

If Matthew were here, it would suddenly dawn on him why he had met Professor Severus Snape at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries.

And why did Professor "Severus Snape" seem so panicked when he was found out by himself!

Because when he met "Snape", he was in the department of biological injury, and Professor "Snape's" real identity was a werewolf, and the reason why he appeared there was to find St. Mungo's healer and prescribe some medicine that could relieve the pain of the werewolf's transformation......

Remus Lupin still hadn't lowered his wand.

He continued: "I'm sorry for that incident fifteen years ago...... But no matter how many choices I have to make, my choice will not change......"

"Can you tell me why?" Jaime continued to ask sadly, "I doubted everyone...... But all the while, I couldn't figure out why you betrayed us, Remus?"

Lupin seemed to be silent for a moment......

After a brief silence, he finally spoke:

"Because of Master Grindelwald!"

"You don't want to betray Grindelwald?" said Jaime with a mocking laugh.

"Yes...... Lupin nodded, "Grindelwald is for you...... Whether it's you, Peter, Siris...... Or maybe Severus and Lily are just ordinary headmasters......"

“...... More precisely, a disguised principal...... I believe what Hogwarts tells us is true!" Lupin added, "I know you are righteous, Jaime...... Whether it's Hogwarts' choice or justice's choice, we should all oppose what he did......"

“...... But I'm not the same......" Remus Lupin's expression, suddenly looking painful:

“...... To me, Lord Grindelwald almost means a new ......."

James Potter sneered, but there was no sarcasm in it.

Lupin still didn't put down his wand: "You don't know what I've been through......"

For James Potter, Lupin was a friend, a playmate, and a bit of a fluffy little (a werewolf...... They lived together in a dormitory for nearly seven years, but Remus Lupin never mentions his childhood.

"When I was four years old, my father offended the werewolf Fenrir Greyback, and in revenge, the damn werewolf broke into the bedroom through the window and bit me, and I've been a werewolf ever since...... My parents tried all sorts of things to save me, but to no avail. They all thought I couldn't go to Hogwarts because other parents wouldn't want their children to get close to a werewolf......"

“...... Until Lord Grindelwald found out about it...... My father wrote to him that I was a werewolf...... "Lupin continued, "and we didn't have any hope, because my father wasn't even a supporter of Lord Grindelwald......"

“...... But Lord Grindelwald, he soon found me...... He told me that I was a real wizard, and that even if I had a small physical problem, I was still a wizard and not a werewolf...... He said that Hogwarts welcomed me into the school, and that with a little arrangement, it wouldn't cause any problems......"

“...... Then, as you know, every full moon, I would go through the secret passage to Hogsmeade's Screaming Shack, where I would transform, to keep the other students and myself safe. When the villagers heard the noise and screaming, they thought it was some kind of ferocious ghost, and Lord Greenwald encouraged people to spread such rumors so that people could stay away from the screaming shacks......"

“...... But in the end, you found out, and you, Peter, and Siris, did not dislike me because I was a werewolf, but accompanied me by learning to become Animagus...... Honestly, I'm happy......"

“...... At the same time, I have always felt guilty because on one day of every month, I would bring three of my friends to seriously violate the school rules, which betrayed the trust that Master Grindelwald placed in me...... I've been reassuring myself that these things are just small things, and Grindelwald won't care too much about them......"

“...... It wasn't until that day, fifteen years ago, that Peter discovered the secrets of the Headmaster's office, and then you began to secretly get in touch with the Order of the Phoenix, and began to secretly discuss plans to overthrow Master Grindelwald......"

“...... Honestly, Jaime, my heart was torn during that time, because I knew very well that I could not betray Master Grindelwald...... You can never betray him...... As a werewolf, I was supposed to spend my life in loneliness and discrimination, but Master Grindelwald gave me a second life......"

“...... It was a very difficult decision, but I chose to do it in the end...... chose to secretly tell the news to Master Grindelwald......"

Remus Lupin said very sincerely.

His voice was full of apologies at the same time.

......

"What a difficult choice, Remus," Jaime's voice now began to take on a bit of irony:

"Do you know how we've spent all these years? Do you know what hellish life is like in Azkaban, isn't it pleasant to betray a friend?"

"I'm sorry, Jaime......," Lupin whispered, "I know, you're not going to accept my apologies......"

"And you chose to go back to Hogwarts again?" James Potter sneered, "After we escaped from Hogwarts, you returned this time, disguised as 'Severus Snape', in order to capture us and ask your master for success?"

"......No," Lupin shook his head, then nodded, "I heard about your escape, and I did ask to return to Hogwarts...... Hogwarts does need a Transfiguration teacher......"

“...... But Jaime, I'm definitely not here to arrest you, I'm just trying to persuade you to give up, to persuade you to leave Hogwarts......"

Jaime shook his head disdainfully, "I thought you'd get to know me, Lupin...... Do you think I'm going to do such a cowardly act?"

"This is not a coward's act, but an impossible task...... "Lupin said with a sincere face, "with your little strength, you will definitely not be an opponent of Lord Grindelwald, and any resistance you may have will be in vain...... In that case, give up, Jaime ......"

“...... Now turn around and leave, go to a quiet place, and start living a free life again...... I will not stop you, I will help you escape from Hogwarts......"

James Potter seems to have fallen into a deep dungeon.

He looked hesitant, then whispered, "I agree with your suggestion, Lupin...... Give me ten minutes and let me spend ten minutes in the common room in Slytherin...... Ten minutes later, I'll leave and never return to Hogwarts ......"

"Or for that thing, huh?" said Lupin, very sadly, "give up, Jaime...... I beg you to ......"

"It looks like our negotiations have broken down, Lupin......" James Potter's expression suddenly hardened for a moment.

His body began to change rapidly, and a huge stag, suddenly appeared out of thin air, replacing the previous wizard.

The stag began to move at a rapid pace away from Lupin, and it began to look for cover.

"Faint!" Remus Lupin shouted.

With a strong red light, the battle begins!
