Chapter 101 Maybe he is (first update, please subscribe~)

Lupine nodded in agreement: "I guess so."

"The Dementor has no eyes. It senses emotions through the sense of smell. Humans cannot escape his induction, but beasts can, and Animagus will turn a person into a beast, from emotions to soul."

Harry held the amulet, which remained calm: "So, what is Black's Animagus?"

Lu Ping paused and looked troubled.

"Maybe in your mind, Black is a stupid guy who can't do anything like betrayal." Harry took out Lupin's wand and played with it in his hand, "But what I know is that he is a vicious dark wizard."

"He was the secret keeper, and my home address was leaked."

"He even confessed himself and was imprisoned in Azkaban for thirteen years. The evidence is conclusive."

"I have to keep myself safe."

"Professor Lupine, you should understand what I mean."

Lupine's face dimmed, he lowered his head and sighed: "Sirius's Animagus is a big black dog."

"What a good match for Dementors." Harry raised an eyebrow.

Dementors are creatures that feed on happiness.

Churchill once said, "Depression in my heart is like a black dog that bites me every chance it gets." The black dog became a well-known "synonym for depression."

Lupine explained dryly: "I don't want Professor Dumbledore to know, that's why."

"Fortunately, Harry, you are still willing to trust me in this regard."

"You know, illegal Animagus, this is also a crime that will lead to being arrested in Azkaban."

"In case, I'm just saying in case."

"Sirius is really not a traitor. This crime alone is enough for him to return to Azkaban."

"And when he comes back, it's all over."

"You should know about those people at the Ministry of Magic. In thirteen years, everything has been settled. It will be very troublesome to reverse the verdict, and it will really expose their incompetence."

"Even if he is not a betrayer, he must always be a betrayer in the eyes of those people."

Harry was stunned.

oh…

I have never thought about this.

After Lupine said this, he remembered that Animagus still had to register with the Ministry of Magic.

What is the Ministry of Magic?

He only remembered the fifteen galleons Scrimgeour had given him.

"You four are all Animagus?" Harry put down the hand holding the amulet. It had been quiet and did not detect any malice. This made him feel slightly relieved and handed the wand back to Lupin.

Lu Ping was stunned for a moment, then stretched out his hand to take it: "All three of them can do it."

The past events came flooding back from the depths of his memory. He slumped back, resting his head on the back of the chair, staring up at the ceiling, and said in a sigh: "They found out that I was a werewolf. Not only did they not dislike me, but they also wanted to be friends with me. ”

"And to be with me during my most miserable days every full moon, they decided to study the Animagus."

"They are all smart, hardworking, lucky, and successful."

"Your father, James' Animagus is a stag, very majestic and tall."

"Sirius just said it was a black dog."

"Peter has always had no sense of existence, but he actually succeeded. His Animagus was still teased by us for a long time. It was a mouse, but he pretended to be a lion in his heart..."

Harry stood up suddenly and interrupted: "Wait, what did you say?"

"Peter has a lion in his heart." Lupine was startled and subconsciously repeated the last sentence.

"No, no, it's the previous sentence." Harry shook his head.

Lupine's voice was a little confused: "Peter's Animagus is a mouse. What's wrong?"

"Does he have any characteristics?" Harry asked. "A physical disability, for example?"

Lupine shook his head: "Peter is just short, not disabled."

Harry frowned: "Really? For example, a right index finger is missing?"

"Right index finger?" Lu Ping was stunned, "If you have to say this..."

He waved his wand, the drawer opened, and an old newspaper flew out and landed in front of Harry.

"This was reported thirteen years ago."

Harry looked.

There was a huge photo on the front page. The dark street was blown to pieces, smoke surged, and blood and flesh flew everywhere. Sirius Black stood in the middle of the street, numb, allowing the Aurors to attack him. .

As for Peter, the hero who stopped Sirius, his body was blown to pieces in the explosion, leaving only a right index finger.

This is all that remains of him.

"This is really surprising news." Harry carefully read the report from thirteen years ago word by word. "What kind of mouse is his Animagus? A hamster, a field mouse, or... Flowery rat?"

Lupine replied: "It's the squirrel."

"Maybe Peter is not dead yet?" Harry raised his head and looked at Lupin, but another figure appeared in front of him.

Lu Ping tilted his head back slightly, a look of surprise on his face: "Not dead? How is it possible? In that explosion, he... he..."

"What did you find?"

Harry invited him: "You haven't been back to the Gryffindor lounge for a long time. Do you want to go and see it together?"

"Peter's Animagus?" Lupine asked eagerly as he followed Harry out of the office.

Harry nodded: "Ron, that's the red-haired boy in the carriage. He had a pet, a chipmunk, which lived for thirteen years and was missing a toe on his right paw."

"Ordinary mice don't live that long." Lupine frowned.

Harry nodded in agreement: "Crookshanks, you've also seen that mixed-breed cat Nivea. He reacted to Scabbers, Ron's pet."

"Hermione and I speculated that he might be an Animagus."

Lu Ping said nothing and remained silent.

"Flower rat, disabled right paw, thirteen years." Harry whistled, "With so many coincidences, it's hard not to make people suspicious."

Lupine held the wand, a little confused, and his tone became more questioning: "Sirius was captured. He is a hero. There is no need to hide around."

"Could it be..."

Harry comforted him: "Think on the bright side, maybe it's just an ordinary mouse, maybe one of the seniors of the Weasley family, and Peter is already dead."

"It's just too many coincidences. We'd better verify it."

Lu Ping opened his mouth, and after a while, he choked out a sentence: "You have a much better mouth than your father."

"It's not a good thing to be dead, but it's a good thing if Peter lives."

Harry looked back at him: "Are you more willing to believe that Peter is the one who betrayed my father?"

Lu Ping paused and said nothing.

"It seems that there are differences between closeness and distance in your small group." Harry smiled softly.

Lupine sighed and still said nothing.

Harry asked: "Is Black mute?"

Lupine shook his head: "No, he has always been very eloquent."

"That explosion blew his mouth open?" Harry asked for details.

Lu Ping paused: "No."

He was a little confused, why was the focus so strange?

"Then this thing is very strange." Harry picked up the amulet. It was calm and peaceful. "If Sirius is not a betrayer and he has a mouth and is still intact, he should tell this matter."

"Illegal Animagus..." Lupine started.

Harry interrupted: "Even if it's an illegal Animagus, it would be better to go to Azkaban for a few months and re-register at worst than to stay there for thirteen years."

"Maybe he doesn't have the brain." Lu Ping thought for a long time before holding back this sentence.

Harry sneered: "Yeah, you have to be so stupid that you can't even say anything to argue for yourself."

Lupine was speechless.

"But if Sirius is the traitor," Harry continued, "and Scabbers is Peter, then why is he hiding?"

“On the train, at the commencement ceremony, the amulet was vibrating.”

"The malice does not come from you."

"I believe Ron and Hermione, that malicious intent can only come from the fifth person, that is Scabbers."

"But why would he be malicious to me?"

"If he really is Peter."

Lupine didn't know how to answer, so he just followed Harry silently.

All the way to the lounge door.

"Can you know the Disguise Charm?" Harry stopped and turned around to ask.

Lupine nodded and raised his wand: "But why..."

"Come with me. If that person is Peter, he will definitely notice something." Harry replied, "If he hasn't run away yet, it would be better if you hide."

Lupine looked at Harry with relief.

Everything about him is like James, except that his brain is more like his mother's.

With a wave of the magic wand, his figure slowly blended into the surrounding background.

They climbed in.

Ron was the only one lying in front of the fireplace, flipping through a book.

"Where's Hermione?" Harry poked his head around.

"She went to find Professor McGonagall." Ron put down the book. "It's about the class schedule. She signed up for all the elective courses, but some courses have conflicting schedules. She wants to ask for advice on how to solve this problem."

Harry took out a bottle of potion from the Sorting Hat and made a random excuse: "Where's Scabbers? I just met Hagrid on the way back. He said that the blood-replenishing potion might be of some use to him."

Ron didn't think there was anything wrong with meeting Hagrid on the way to the eighth-floor tower. He dug into his pocket and found nothing.

My heart skipped a beat.

"Scabbers?" Ron stood up and rummaged through his schoolbag and robe, but found nothing.

He took a deep breath, ran to Crookshanks who was dozing by the fireplace, grabbed its mouth, and tried to force it open: "Did you eat Scabbers?"

"Spit it out!"

"You bad kitty!"

Crookshanks struggled and slapped Ron's hand with a claw, leaving a shallow scratch. A man and a cat began to struggle. Without the use of a wand, Ron even fell into a disadvantage.

"Crookshanks." Harry called its name, "Come here, I have something to ask you."

The ginger kitten made a move, stepped on Ron's shoulder, walked to Harry cautiously, and jumped onto the long table.

Ron gritted his teeth and walked over, staring at it fiercely, feeling inexplicably sad.

After asking some seniors for advice, I finally decided to guarantee a minimum of four updates per day at a price of RMB 3,000 per chapter. They said that large chapters might lose subscriptions.

Today's update time may not be fixed, but there will be four chapters guaranteed. Let me take a moment. After all, the code I put on the shelves is current code. I am new and have no experience QAQ
