·
Liu Yue Zhi Yuan Fei
While Harry was thinking, Fred continued to recite, obviously the last year's confinement had not been in vain.
Judging from the demented gazes of the other senior students present, they, who had also memorized these contents, obviously did not remember as much as Fred.
Harry, who was still distracted, suddenly felt a cold gaze. When he came back to his senses, he found that Snape was staring at him closely, but when he looked at him, his eyes drifted to Frey again. German direction.
That's when Harry heard that Fred had backtracked:
"...without treatment, the werewolf undergoes a painful monthly transformation and remains pale and frail for days afterwards..."
At this moment, Professor Snape looked around and said with a sneer:
"It seems that some of Douglas's ideas are still very effective, such as punishing you to write textbooks silently... But if it were me, I would definitely find a real werewolf and tell you how to identify and kill werewolves... ...
From now on, your task is to copy this book, now, immediately, immediately, move for me..."
Hogwarts students are not all idiots, after Snape's obvious hint, they all think of this week's astronomy, Professor Aurora Sinista said to almost all students, and One week is full moon...
Some people have even begun to wonder whether Professor Lupine might be a werewolf, but then they abandoned this answer, how could Dumbledore recruit a werewolf as a professor.
Moreover, Professor Holmes has repeatedly praised Professor Lupine as an excellent defense against the dark arts expert. He also fought against the mysterious man. How could it be a werewolf...
Harry also thought about the possibility that Lupine might be a werewolf, but then dismissed it, preferring that Black was probably a werewolf.
Because according to their investigation, Azkaban is a prison located in the North Sea, guarded by unreasonable dementors. They have never figured out how Black came to England from the North Sea, but if he is a werewolf If so, many things can be explained...
The most important thing is the name of Sirius Black. The name of Sirius comes from the dog star in ancient Greece. The wolf belongs to the canine family. If you explain it like this, everything makes sense.
At this time, Harry especially thanked Professor Sinista for letting them memorize the Canis Major galaxy a few days ago, and before receiving the admission letter from Hogwarts, the Dursleys took him to the zoo and saw Muggles We classify wolves into the canine family.
As for why Snape put so much emphasis on werewolves, he also speculated.
They had learned about their father and Black's past from Hagrid before, but Hagrid refused at first.
So Harry mentioned that Dumbledore had told him that his father had saved Snape, and wanted to open Hagrid's conversation.
According to their information, Black used to be very good friends with his father James at school, as long as he talked about his father, he must be inseparable from Black...
Sure enough, when they said that Dumbledore had said this, Hagrid directly said what he knew.
"You are asking the right people, including the professors at Hogwarts, few people know about it.
I can't go into details, but it was true that your father saved Professor Snape at the time, and all of this was due to that nasty Black. He showed the temperament of a murderer at that time, and it was a waste of Dumbledore's trust in him... ..”
Although Hagrid didn't say much, it was enough for Harry to speculate that there was a grudge between Snape and Black, which also explained why Snape gritted his teeth when talking about werewolves.
It is very likely that Snape was attacked by Black who turned into a werewolf, and then saved by his father.
Alas, it seems that the former Black family was so powerful that they could even let a werewolf enter Hogwarts to study.
Specifically, he needs to go back and discuss it with Hermione, and it is best to find the exact time of Black's escape...
As he was thinking, he habitually wrote down what he thought of on paper, and made a diagram of the relationship between the characters.
He learned this method from his uncle who wrote novels, and it works very well.
He marked a werewolf next to Black's name, then used a double-headed arrow to connect Snape and Black, and marked murder and revenge.
Then he wrote his parents next to each other, connected Snape and Black with two-way arrows, and marked the life-saving grace, good friend, betrayal...
Suddenly, a pale hand directly pulled his piece of parchment away, and angrily tore the parchment into pieces.
Harry was too engrossed in his thoughts to notice that Snape was standing behind him at some point.
"Ten points from Gryffindor for writing things that have nothing to do with confinement... as stupid as your father..."
Harry stood up suddenly, staring at Snape.
Snape raised his neck, said with a sneer:
"What, am I right?"
Harry said sullenly:
"I think you are right, my father is saving..."
Snape suddenly roared manically:
"Shut up, what do you know, you don't know anything... You sit down and copy the book for me, and if you say one more word, Gryffindor will deduct fifty points for you."
Harry looked at Snape with an angry face. He wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth and finally closed it. He was worried that if he spoke again, he would continue to deduct points. At that time, not only Professor McGonagall would be angry, but maybe he and George Trapped in a closed classroom like Fred.
After Snape glared at Harry, he ignored him, but shouted at the others:
"What are you looking at, do you usually complete confinement homework like this?"
He was so angry that he couldn't understand what was going on in Potter's mind, how could that scumbag Black be a werewolf.
He thinks it is very right to ask students to copy the book "Wolf Who Broken the Law: Why Werewolves Are Not Deserving to Live", because the book clearly states that in human form, a werewolf may be as friendly as another person, a very hypocritical people.
He believes that it won't be long before everyone discovers the truth that Lupine is a werewolf...
After eleven o'clock, everyone in Harry returned to the common room, and everyone was either reciting or doing their homework. This kind of learning atmosphere no longer needs special emphasis from the class representative.
Harry found Hermione, who was doing her homework behind a stack of books, while Ron glanced at Hermione's homework from time to time.
Ginny was also sitting beside her, carrying her textbook in a low voice.
"I've made a big discovery."
Ron and Ginny looked over immediately, but Hermione said without raising her head:
"what?"
Harry quickly told what happened tonight.
They were taken aback when Harry speculated that Black was a werewolf.
Hermione said to Ginny:
"Ginny, look for the Daily Prophet that first reported Black's escape."
Ginny nodded, and immediately ran back to the girls' dormitory. During the time she joined the Charon Detective Agency, Ginny seemed to be Hermione's little secretary. Because Hermione was busy with classes, Ginny took care of most of the materials. of.
Taking advantage of this time, Hermione said to Harry:
"There is nothing wrong with your other inferences, but it is far-fetched to infer that he is a werewolf based on the constellation of the name. Wolves belong to the canine family, which is only a classification in the Muggle world. There is no such classification in the wizarding world. Do you think the famous pure-blooded Black family , with Muggle knowledge?"
At this moment, Hermione had faint doubts. All the features described by the werewolf and Snape's almost explicit hints pointed to the new Professor Lupine at the same time.
She felt that even if Professor Holmes supported Professor Lupine, he could not be removed from the suspicion list, and Harry's idea was still too arbitrary.
But it was also because of Professor Holmes that Hermione decided to hide this matter temporarily.
Soon Ginny fetched the newspaper, and she put the newspaper in front of several people and said directly:
"Unfortunately, jailbreak around June 6th, when the full moon has passed for a while..."
Hermione also nodded and said:
"According to the records in the book, if the opponent is a werewolf, he has been in a weak state during this period, and it will be more difficult for him to escape from prison. Of course, it does not rule out that the Ministry of Magic finds out that it is too late for him to escape from prison."
But Harry thought for a long time and said:
"I still think Black is probably a werewolf. Don't forget that he almost killed Snape. Otherwise, why would Snape specifically emphasize how to kill a werewolf..."
Hermione pursed her lips and did not argue with Harry.
Ron asked suspiciously from the side:
"What does it mean to us that he's a werewolf and he's not a werewolf?
Could it be that because he is a werewolf, I will no longer investigate the truth? Then how will the last gold Galleons be divided? "
Harry was taken aback, patted Ron and said:
"You're right, whether he is or not, we have to investigate the truth. I just don't understand why my parents would be friends with a werewolf, and the other party is my godfather."
Hermione said from the side:
"Harry, you have to know that many werewolves were not originally werewolves, they got lycanthropy after being bitten by other werewolves.
Although they are very dangerous when the moon is full, some people are usually very friendly, and I read in the newspaper before that there seems to be some kind of potion that can keep werewolves awake when they transform.
The wizarding world is generally full of disgust and fear of werewolves. In March this year, the Ministry of Magic also introduced the "Anti-Werewolf Act".
When I was researching the functions of the Ministry of Magic, I found that the Werewolf Registry and the Werewolf Capture Program belonged to the Beast Office, right? It's hard to imagine that they classify werewolves as beasts.
The Werewolf Support Service Section is managed by the Heterogeneous Office. However, due to the widespread discrimination against werewolves in the wizarding world, and the British Ministry of Magic's policy towards werewolves has always seemed arrogant and arrogant, they actually hoped that werewolves would take the initiative to register and sign a pledge. I will not attack others, if I would never do so...
The department is in danger of being shut down because no werewolves have ever identified themselves here to receive aid..."
Harry seemed to be inspired suddenly, and said excitedly:
"Wait, you said that the Ministry of Magic has issued the "Anti-Werewolf Act". Could it be because of this that Black escaped from prison? He felt that werewolves were treated unfairly, and as the leader of werewolves..."
At this moment Ginny interrupted Harry:
"No, the leader of the werewolves is Fenrir Greyback..."
Ron also nodded and said:
"My mother told us not to run around at night since we were young, and be careful not to be caught by Greyback... Do you think Black wants to go through Hogwarts to the Forbidden Forest to summon werewolves in the Forbidden Forest, not the Forbidden Forest Has there always been a werewolf legend in the book, and Hagrid didn't deny it..."
Harry's eyes lit up immediately, he thought it was a good idea, he quickly wrote it down, and felt it necessary to remind Hagrid or Professor Holmes.
Hermione, who was on the side, saw the discussion between the two, and was immediately speechless. How could this child be so stubborn that he insisted on thinking that Black was a werewolf.
But when Professor Lu Ping appears after the full moon, they should still doubt Professor Lu Ping.
After all, that paleness and weakness couldn't be concealed. She remembered that it was after the full moon when school started, and that was how Professor Lupine they met on the train at that time.
But before that, she still decided to find time to inquire with Professor Holmes. If the professors knew about it and concealed it, she would also help to conceal it for Professor Lupine.
"Harry, have you done your homework today? By the way, I will remind you that the Defense Against the Dark Arts monthly exam will be held the day after tomorrow."
Harry, who was having a heated discussion with Ron, suddenly froze, and then looked at Ron.
Ron blinked, then indicated with his eyes that Hermione was still there.
Seeing the expressions of the two, Ginny laughed out loud, attracting many people in the common room to look over.
Hermione shook her head and continued with her homework.
Judging from the demented gazes of the other senior students present, they, who had also memorized these contents, obviously did not remember as much as Fred.
