Chapter 384 After the Yellow Bird
Lupin pointed his wand at Black, who lay on the ground.
"You finally revealed your inner madness."
Blake was lying on the ground but smiled in response.
"You understand why I'm crazy inside, right?"
The three children stared with wide eyes and watched in horror as Professor Lupin put away his wand and pulled Black up from the ground.
The two of them were like old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time, hugging each other tightly and patting each other on the back.
"I...I found him, he is right here..."
Blake was so excited that he was a little incoherent.
"Let me finish him off."
Blake gave a cruel smile.
Hermione thought he understood, and stepped forward to loudly criticize the two of them, especially Professor Lupin.
"It's you. You've been helping Blake sneak into the school, right?"
"The person Ron saw that night was Black. He was indeed the one who sneaked into the school that night, right?"
"You all want Harry dead, you're even a werewolf..."
Harry and Ron were both stunned by Hermione's speculation...
Ron's head was about to smoke, and Harry was also skeptical at this time.
Lupin just shook his finger at them.
"No, no, no, Hermione, this is totally wrong, but I only admit the last one. I am indeed a werewolf. But please listen to my explanation."
Ron's head was not only smoking, but his legs were also bleeding...
Lupin was about to reach out to help him, but Ronsi clapped his hands away in disgust.
"Get out of here, you damn werewolf..." (The magic world has always had a deep prejudice against werewolves)
(In the original work, the author Rowling used werewolves to allude to a special group - HIV-related people)
Lupin was deeply shocked by Ron's words, and at this moment he felt like he was petrified.
After a while, as if accustomed to this prejudice, he turned to Hermione.
"How did you know I was a werewolf?"
Hermione told Lupin that there was one class when Professor Lupin was not there and Professor Snape took his place in the class.
Professor Snape's class was about werewolves.
He also required students to write reports.
At this time, Hermione guessed that Professor Lupin was a werewolf based on his usual state.
At this moment she said in annoyance:
"I really regret not exposing you. I even helped you conceal it and misled other students to speculate about you..."
Lupin nodded. He was bitten by a werewolf when he was young, and decades of pain made him quickly accustomed to this prejudice.
"You're very clever, Hermione-san, but I didn't help Black."
Then Lupin explained why he was there.
Before Christmas, Harry got his hands on the Marauder's Map.
Found many secret passages in the school.
You can also go out in the middle of the night without being discovered.
But there are only two people on the map who will not be recorded, one is Dumbledore and the other is Luke.
This time Harry suddenly found a strange name on the map, so he followed to check it out.
Found nothing.
At this moment, he was discovered by Professor Snape.
Although the map was hidden, Professor Snape knew that it was a magical item.
So he tapped the parchment with his wand.
What appeared on it was not a map but four sentences mocking him.
The founders of the map, four heroes, no one said a word...
Just as Snape was about to confiscate the map, Professor Lupin arrived.
He took the map from Snape and took Harry away.
After questioning Harry about the map, Professor Lupin confiscated it.
Today, Lupin discovered Black's traces while looking at the map.
Besides Ron, there was another person with him.
Lupin turned to look at Ron.
"Can you show me this mouse?"
Ron looked at Lupin in confusion.
"What does this have to do with Scabbers? My brother and I have raised him for many years..."
Ron never thought that a mouse could live for more than ten years...
Lupin told him the answer:
"He is not a rat, he is a wizard."
"He is also an Animagus named Peter Pettigrew," Black added.
This was the name of the person Harry had seen on the map that night but hadn't found.
The children all thought that they were crazy and mentally ill...
Seeing that the children still didn't believe him, Lupin began to explain.
"I also always thought Sirius Black was the murderer, until today, when I saw Peter Pettigrew's name on the map, I realized I was wrong."
“What happened back then may not be true.”
"From what I know about the map, it can't be wrong."
"Because I am one of the founders of the map, Moon Face."
"Harry, your father is also an Animagus, and the Marauders of the Marauder's Map are exactly the four of us."
(Lupin - Moony; James Potter - Prongs; Black - Padfoot; Peter Pettigrew - Wormtail)
Ron and Harry's brains must be completely smoked...
Fortunately, there is a smart Hermione.
"Why didn't you alert Headmaster Dumbledore when Sirius broke into the school?"
Lupin nodded.
"Good question."
"The reason I didn't tell the principal was because I was a coward."
"If I told him, it would mean I admitted that I had betrayed his trust when we were students."
"I was hanging out with my best friends all day long without him..."
Lupin said self-deprecatingly:
"I deceived myself into believing that Black had learned the Dark Arts from Voldemort and had broken into the school."
"I concealed the fact that several of us were Animagus from Headmaster Dumbledore, so Professor Snape was right not to believe me."
"He has also been trying to persuade Headmaster Dumbledore not to take me in. He knows that I am a werewolf. He has always known it."
"Black and I were joking and led Snape here. When he discovered my transformation into a werewolf, it was your father who rescued him."
Harry finally came to his senses and asked Lupin.
"So, this is why Professor Snape doesn't like you because he thinks this joke was played on him by you?"
Just as Harry finished speaking and before Lupin could reply, a voice came from the doorway.
"That's right~"
Everyone looked in the direction of the sarcastic voice.
It was Professor Snape.
"Disarm your weapons."
Snape knocked the wands out of Lupin and Black's hands.
Pointing his wand at Black, Snape said excitedly:
"Wow, revenge tastes so sweet. I've always fantasized about catching you myself."
The mortal enemies from their youth have reunited, and some verbal sarcasm and ridicule is inevitable.
It turned out that Professor Snape was commissioned by Headmaster Dumbledore to brew a potion for Lupin to slow down his transformation into a werewolf.
But Professor Lupin did not go to Snape for the potion.
Snape came to Lupin's office and found the Marauder's Map, which was not hidden.
When he saw where the few people were, he hurried over.
Lupin and Black wanted to explain the truth of the matter, but Snape simply didn't listen.
Wave your wand and send everyone out.
At this moment, everyone's expressions became surprised.
Snape also noticed that something was wrong with everyone's expressions.
Just as he was about to turn around, a metal object hit the back of his head.
There was a metallic voice and a person's words.
"Excuse me, Professor Snape, but please put down your wand because I am curious about the story."
