Chapter 238 Lupine: I'm the one who's wrong
·
Liu Yue Zhi Yuan Fei
Just when all the teachers and students in the school were watching Peeves' jokes.
Lupine was eventually blocked in the classroom by Harry with the photo.
He was speechless for a long time looking at the photo, and Harry saw emotions such as sadness and resentment from Lupine's expression.
Without waiting for Harry to ask, Lupine said slowly:
"It was a period of dark times. A year before I entered school, the mysterious man officially took full power, and he showed up in person and made his position public.
The Death Eaters used all kinds of forbidden magic to deal with the wizards who opposed the black magic, the Muggle-born wizards were publicly executed, and there was chaos everywhere in the society..."
Harry opened his mouth, just about to say that's not what he wanted to hear.
Seeing that Lupine seemed to see his thoughts, he shook his head slowly and said:
"Douglas has always felt that these things should be known to the new generation, so that everyone can remember history. He said that he does not hope that after many years, some people will distort history, and worry that some people will put aside reality and regard the mysterious person as an idol... ...
But because of the mysterious man's remaining prestige, hehe, people in the magic world have been reluctant to mention this.
At that time, we were kept away from the war under the protection of Headmaster Dumbledore. "
Harry interjected:
"Because Voldemort is afraid of Headmaster Dumbledore!"
Lupine nodded and continued:
"Even so, we can always hear outside news from various sources. He recruited giants, werewolves... some marginalized magical creatures, which caused quite a mess to the Ministry of Magic at that time.
And some people in the school started to idolize You-Know-Who. "
"It must be Slytherin!"
"Later, some wizards became disappointed with the Ministry of Magic, so under the leadership of Headmaster Dumbledore, they began to organize a counterattack.
Later we graduated and joined the battle. This photo was taken when we just graduated. "
As he said this, Lupine took a deep breath, as if trying to drive some emotion away.
"Later, a traitor appeared in the ranks, but we never knew who that person was.
At this moment, due to some reasons that I don't understand, James and Lily, who is pregnant with you, were arranged by Dumbledore to Godric's Hollow, and proposed to protect you with the Fidelity Curse..."
Harry spoke up and said:
"The secret keeper of the Fidelity Curse is Blake, Professor, I told you about this before."
Lupine nodded, then stared at Harry and asked:
"I remember you said that this is not necessarily the truth, you have to investigate yourself, and then?"
Harry shook his head in distress and said:
"However, I still felt that this secret keeper could only be Blake. He had such a good relationship with my father and became my godfather. He should be the person my father trusted the most at that time. Unfortunately, he was wrong... "
Lupine sighed and said quietly:
"He was not wrong, and he has never been wrong. It was others who were wrong, and he paid a huge price for his mistakes."
Harry asked suspiciously, "Who's wrong?"
Lupine did not answer him, but asked:
"If you cast the Fidelity Curse, who would you choose to be the Secret Keeper?"
The names of Ron, Hermione, and Douglas flashed through Harry's mind for a moment, just as he was about to answer Lupine.
Lupine glanced at him, and said again:
"Don't worry about answering me, do you think your enemy can't think of what you can think of?"
Harry froze for a moment, wondering what Lupine meant.
Immediately, he remembered the real purpose of this trip, and asked quickly:
"Professor, I came to you this time to inquire about Black, and we suspect that he is a werewolf.
Since you've known each other since school, do you know how he turned into a werewolf?
Why would my father trust a werewolf? "
Lupine heard this, took a deep breath and said solemnly:
"James is a good man who believes in his friends."
Harry said unconvinced:
"But he was wrong!"
Lupine said hoarsely:
"I said, he's not wrong, he's always been right.
I was wrong, Sirius was wrong, we believed wrong...
Sorry, it's question time, you can go now, Harry! "
After finishing speaking, Lupine ignored Harry and walked out of the classroom.
He was the one who persuaded James and Sirius to accept Peter. If Peter hadn't been everyone's friend from the beginning, Sirius would not have chosen Peter as his secret keeper.
Ever since he knew the truth of the matter, he has always felt that he was the one who was wrong and killed two people.
If Douglas hadn't always emphasized that Peter's life was more meaningful than death, he would have rushed into the Gryffindor bedroom without hesitation and tore the mouse to pieces.
Looking at the back of Lupine leaving, Harry said loudly:
"Peter Perum is not dead...I doubt it."
But Lupine didn't seem to hear it, and left straight away.
Harry didn't understand Lupine's reaction, and said a bunch of inexplicable things.
Wrong Blake, it's Lupine, what does that mean?
After Lupine left the classroom, it was already 11:30 in the evening, and he did not return to his office.
Instead, he walked straight towards Douglas' office.
"Douglas have any wine?"
Douglas, who was in pajamas, didn't ask any more questions, but snapped his fingers, and several kinds of wine in the cabinet flew onto the tea table.
Then a quill on the desk jumped out of the pen holder, wrote a few words on the paper, and the note flew into the fireplace.
Soon, Sirius emerged from the fireplace in his pajamas.
"What happened?"
Lupine poured himself a glass of wine and got bored, then passed the photo in his hand.
Douglas glanced at it, then at Sirius to the side.
"Blind this pair of skins for nothing!"
Sirius picked up the photo, took a closer look, recognized a mark on it that only he knew, and said in a deep voice:
"This photo is the one from James' house, moon face, you go..."
Lupine shook his head and said:
"Someone probably found this photo in James' belongings and gave it to Harry.
Douglas, Harry brought this photo to me tonight, and I told him some key information as you asked. "
After speaking, Lupine drank another glass of wine.
Douglas frowned slightly. He could see that something should have touched him during this process, but he was not very clear about the things between them.
Sirius looked at Lupine in this state, poured himself a glass of wine and was bored, then said in a hoarse tone:
"Moon face, I know what you are thinking. You are not wrong about this matter. We all regard him as a friend, don't we? No one thought of what happened later.
Even...Even, I used to doubt you rather than him, and it was me who was wrong. "
Lupine smiled wryly, then shook his head slowly.
Douglas poured himself a glass of wine, touched the two of them respectively, and took a sip by himself.
When the two saw Douglas clinking glasses, they subconsciously raised their glasses and drank them directly.
Lupine seemed to see Douglas' doubts, and said slowly:
"I was the one who tried to persuade James and Sirius to accept the bloody traitor."
Only then did Douglas understand why Lupine was in this state.
At this moment, he guessed that Lupine should have had this seed in his heart since he knew the truth.
This time because Harry's interrogation touched him.
Sirius looked at Lupine for a moment and said:
"Moon face, you are always so kind.
I remember you used to want me and James not to break the school rules, and you were a prefect, and sometimes you made us feel a little ashamed..."
Douglas looked at Sirius, what he said was a bit wrong, could this guy be drunk?
Lupine followed Sirius' words and said:
"Oh, Merlin's beard, you are still ashamed, I remember telling you to let Snape go...I told you with a lot of determination, I think you violated the school rules!"
Douglas on the side's eyes lit up, he quickly poured wine for the two of them, and said with a smile:
"Expand and talk..."
Lupine was eventually blocked in the classroom by Harry with the photo.
He was speechless for a long time looking at the photo, and Harry saw emotions such as sadness and resentment from Lupine's expression.
Without waiting for Harry to ask, Lupine said slowly:
