Chapter 244 The Oscar winner must be Snape

"You are one of the smartest little witches I have ever seen, Hermione." Facing Hermione's accusation, Professor Lupine's face remained calm, "But, I didn't help Sirius. If you give me a chance, I can explain. Sirius!"

Professor Lupine signaled to Sirius, who nodded slightly and threw Harry and Harry's wands back into their hands.

Harry caught the wand in disbelief. He couldn't imagine that Sirius would give his wand back to him. What on earth did he want to do, humiliate him? !

Professor Lupine put away his wand and said calmly: "Now that you have weapons and I don't, are you willing to listen to me?"

Harry glanced at Professor Lupin hesitantly, and out of the corner of his eye he saw Irina still standing next to Sirius. Even Irina was on Black's side. Is there really something hidden? !

Although Harry's previous anger made him subconsciously think that Irina had betrayed them, after reason gradually returned to his mind, he recalled what Irina had done, and his trust in his eldest sister made him rethink things. true or not.

Finally, Harry nodded slightly.

So, Sirius stood up and told him about his suggestion to James to change the secret keeper of the Fidelity Charm to Peter Pettigrew, who betrayed James and put the blame on himself.

"Everyone thought Sirius killed Peter, but in fact, Peter is still alive. This is Peter Pettigrew, an Animagus in mouse form!"

Professor Luping took over the conversation and pointed at Banban, who had been knocked to the ground by Irina from the alchemy cage and was slowly waking up.

Only then did Ron discover Scabbers at Irina's feet. He exclaimed: "Scabbers! Crazy, you are all crazy! It is obviously my mouse, how could it be an Animagus?!"

Even Hermione echoed with a trembling voice: "Yes, Professor Lupin... Scabbers can't be Peter Pettigrew... This is impossible, you know this is impossible..."

"Why isn't it possible?" Professor Lupine asked calmly, as if they were in a Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

"Because...because if Peter Pettigrew is an Animagus, people will know. We learned about Animagus in Professor McGonagall's class. I looked up the information when I was doing my homework. The Ministry of Magic has no idea what can become an Animagus. Animal wizards have records, and there are registers showing what animals they can turn into, and markings and the like... I looked up Professor McGonagall in the register, and there are only seven Animagus, Pettigrew, in this century. Peter's name is not on it..."

Hermione said this, she strongly disagreed with Professor Lupin's statement.

Hearing this, Professor Lupine chuckled and said: "You are right, Hermione, but you don't know that there are more Animagus in the world that have not been registered by the Ministry of Magic, or unless Except for wizards who want to be professors and need to show their Animagus form to students, most Animagus prefer to use it as their trump card rather than register with the Ministry of Magic. .Maybe I should let Irina explain this matter to you."

With that said, Professor Lupine turned his attention to Irina.

Hearing Professor Lupine's words, Irina glanced at Professor Lupine in surprise. She didn't understand how Professor Lupin discovered that he was an Animagus.

In fact, when Linn and Irina went to the full moon where the crystal vial was buried, they were so excited and focused on Animagus practice that they did not notice the man passing by dozens of meters away. Professor Lupine who plans to go to the Shrieking Shack to transform.

It was on that day that Professor Lupine learned that the two were trying Animagus exercises.

Although Professor Lupine did not witness the transformation of the two, with Lynn and Irina's intelligence and magic level, he had no doubt that they would be able to succeed.

"Professor Lupin is right, Hermione, for I am an illegal Animagus."

Irina's beautiful ice-blue eyes stared at Hermione, and she said softly.

Irina jumped forward suddenly, her body shrunk sharply in the air, and when she landed on the ground, she was already in the form of a snow fox.

"This... is incredible. Irina, when did you..."

Seeing the extremely cute snow fox on the ground, Hermione covered her mouth, her eyes filled with shock.

At this time, Irina had returned to her original body. She returned to her original position as if nothing had happened. She glanced at Professor Luping and said, "Now that the proper explanation has been given, it is time to present the final evidence." Leave it to Harry and the others, and let Peter Pettigrew return to his original form."

While Irina was talking, the door of the Shrieking Shack opened and closed unconsciously, but no one noticed this abnormality except Irina who glanced there subconsciously.

Hearing Irina's words, Professor Lupine nodded. He stepped forward and planned to use the Animagus's counter-spell to force Peter Pettigrew back to his original form.

"Don't move! A werewolf, a criminal, and a little witch that people call a genius are all hanging out together. Haha, how interesting!"

At this moment, a cold voice suddenly came from behind Harry and the others.

I saw Severus Snape taking off the invisibility cloak, pointing the wand in his hand at Professor Lupin, so that the other party did not dare to act rashly, and his cold eyes glanced around everyone.

Professor Snape threw the invisibility cloak aside and said in a sarcastic tone: "I found this under the Whomping Willow. It's very useful. Potter, I have to thank you..."

"I don't think Hogwarts Castle can accommodate a werewolf like you anymore, Lupin. And you, Black, I think the dementors would love to give you a kiss!"

Professor Snape's tone was cold, and upon hearing his words, Professor Lupine and Sirius both turned pale.

At this moment, Harry suddenly stood up and stared into Snape's eyes resolutely: "No, you can't do that! There may be something hidden in the matter. If we don't investigate clearly, then we may have wronged a good person! "

Professor Snape sneered and said: "Unjustly accusing good people? Ha, don't let me try to figure out the psychology of werewolves and criminals, get out of the way, Potter!"

Facing Professor Snape's order, Harry shouted without fear: "You are so pitiful, just because they teased you in school, you didn't even want to..."

Harry's words were like igniting a dynamite barrel, and Snape's expression became crazy: "Shut up, don't talk to me like that! Like father, like son, Potter! I just saved your life , you should kneel on the ground and thank me! In fact, you deserve to be killed by him! You died like your father, because you were too proud and refused to believe that you were wrong about Blake! Get out of the way, or I will be rude, get out of the way, Potter!"

Staring at Snape, Harry seemed to have made some determination. He suddenly raised his wand: "Expelliarmus!"

Harry roared angrily, but it seemed that it was not just his voice. Three red lights burst out at the same time, and the other two red lights came from Ron and Hermione.

Snape didn't seem to think that Harry and the others would dare to take action. He was hit by three disarming spells at the same time. His whole body flew up and hit the wall behind him. Then he fell to the ground, blood seeping from his hair, and he passed out. .

"This year's Oscar winner is probably none other than Professor Snape!"

Not far away, after seeing this, Irina's mouth twitched crazily. (End of chapter)
