Chapter 179 In the Middle of the Night, Two Old Men Staring at Each Other

After Sirius heard Lupine's words, his smile disappeared instantly.

He opened his mouth to speak, but his voice was no longer magnetic, but full of distortion, hatred and killing intent.

"If it was James, he would definitely listen to me before making a decision."

Speaking of this, Sirius paused for a moment, complex emotions flashed in his eyes, and then continued,

"If it was that mouse, of course he would directly kill me to cover up everything!"

"Oh?" Lupine raised his eyebrows,

"I think as a witness to the incident, you should know how the magic world views this incident."

"But according to what you said, there seems to be something else hidden about this matter."

"I'm giving you this opportunity to explain now, and what you say will determine my next attitude towards you."

"Of course." Sirius nodded, and then began to describe the whole thing in detail, starting with himself as the secret keeper.

"...Fudge is probably trying to gain political power."

"In short, he went to Azkaban to condolences to pure-blood prisoners whose crimes are not so serious, or whose families still have members outside the prison."

"Although I am probably the only seedling left in the Black family, Narcissa is still outside, so Fudge also made a show and gave me a newspaper."

"You find the newspaper and look at the front pages of these issues."

Sirius named a few dates before ending his description.

Lupine took a deep look at him, nodded, and while staring at Sirius, he slowly moved to the box and turned out the Daily Prophet.

He tossed the daily newspaper to Sirius: "Find those issues under my watch."

The two stared at each other in silence for a few seconds. The corner of Professor Lupine's mouth twitched slightly, and he waved his wand again, extending the chain on Sirius' right hand.

Sirius soon dug out a newspaper with the headline "The Weasleys Win the Daily Prophet's Front Page".

Below is a family portrait of the Weasley family.

Sirius turned out several newspapers one after another, and put up the photos of the Weasley family.

"Look at that red-haired boy named Ron, who's that on his shoulder? Does it look like some damn mouse!"

Professor Lupine strengthened the confinement on Sirius again, and then began to read the newspaper, and he did not forget to continue to pay attention to Sirius from the corner of his eyes.

But soon, he stopped paying attention to Sirius.

Because that mouse on Ron's shoulder is so familiar

The body shape, the color of the fur, and various details all coincided with the image in Professor Lupine's brain.

He also noticed that the mouse was missing a finger from its right front paw.

And the biggest remnant of a dead man named Pettigrew left at the scene of his death was a finger of his right hand.

At this time, Professor Lu Ping believed 70% of Sirius' words.

And Sirius smiled wryly and said another sentence: "If you are worried, I will let go of my brain."

"I remember that you have learned instigmatism, you can explore my memory at will."

Professor Lupine was silent for two minutes, but raised his wand anyway.

Although I am very sorry for my former friends, in order to be worthy of James and Lily, to be worthy of the trust of Professor Dumbledore, to be worthy of my responsibilities, and to be worthy of Harley.

Professor Lupine chose to break the law anyway.

After a long time, when he lowered his wand, his eyes had unknowingly filled with tears, and there were two tear stains on his face.

Just now, he watched the events of that year and some of Sirius' memories in Azkaban from the first-person perspective of Sirius.

More importantly, he also personally experienced Sirius' confession, pain and self-blame.

"You want me to cooperate with you and catch Peter?" Professor Lupine withdrew his thoughts, his voice was extremely hoarse, and there was a slight pause, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time.

"certainly."

"Then why didn't you tell Harry the truth?" Professor Lupine asked again.

This time it was Sirius' turn to be silent. Professor Lupine also looked at him silently.

Two old friends in their thirties talked to each other silently at night, and Professor Lupine understood everything.

Professor Lupine sighed, pointed to the delicacies on the table, and said nothing.

...

It was getting late in the Gryffindor dormitory, and the common room was empty.

Everyone had a good meal and was lying on the bed peacefully.

Hermione originally wanted to hear Harry's analysis about the Ministry of Magic, but now she also fell into a deep sleep.

Of course, she would not have slept so deeply or so early in the first place.

It's a pity that the dormitory was filled with a thin lavender mist at some point.

And Harry was standing in front of Hermione's bed, holding a small object in his hand and examining it carefully.

It was a small golden hourglass with a long, fine gold chain attached to it.

The glass ball at one end of the hourglass contains countless fine grains of sand. Although there is no light in the dormitory, the sand itself exudes a psychedelic light.

When most people see it, they will only regard it as a piece of exquisite work of art, a timer for collection.

But Harley felt the power of the time domain and the destiny domain from it.

Harry quickly returned to her bed, and took out the precious and elaborate magic mirror.

After Harley prayed silently, her image was reflected in the magic mirror, but her beautiful long black hair turned into snake hair.

There was also a mysterious and brilliant green fluorescence in Harry's eyes.

Just now, she borrowed power from her own mythical creature form!

Drawing on the power and personhood of her own mythical creature form, Harley explores the power of the hourglass in her hand.

"A very precious alchemy item, probably used to travel through time."

"Hermione has taken all the courses, so at least two of them will be taking place at the same time."

"So Professor McGonagall gave her this hourglass so she can take two classes at the same time?"

"No wonder it corresponds to the power of the time domain, probably to reverse time."

"As for fate... I remember that the saints of the Aurora Society have used restart spells? They seem to have an angel of the path of fate?"

"In this case, it is normal for me to feel the aura of the path of destiny."

...

...

(Thanks to the book friends with the tail number 7033 of Floating Life and Empty Dreams, and the final reward of the python and the snake of God!)

(ps. Regarding the specific form of the time-turner, the original English version that the author saw was written as an hourglass, and the specific location is in the chapter "Hermione's Secret" in the book Prisoner of Azkaban.

But I heard that a pocket watch was shot in the movie. The author adopts the hourglass shape here, respect the original work.

The author also artificially added a bit about the setting of the time converter, which belongs to the second setting. )
