Hogwarts Scholar System

"The only reason I didn't lose my mind was because I knew I was innocent. It wasn't a pleasant thought, so the dementors didn't suck it out of my head. That way I could stay clear and know who I was. Who is it that helps me preserve my magic power?" Black said,

"After the Animagus is successful, it can transform without a wand. Dementors cannot see it, as you know. They are aware of people's emotions and thus feel how to get close to people.

It is more difficult for them to feel the emotions of animals, because animal emotions are confusing.As long as I turn into a dog, they can't find me.

But I am weak, very weak, and without a wand I have no hope of driving them away from me."

"When Fudge visited Azkaban the year before last, he gave me this newspaper. On the boy's shoulder, I recognized him immediately - he was not a mouse, but Peter. I saw him transform countless times, I'm so familiar with him.

Then I saw the caption under the photo saying that the boy would go back to Hogwarts to attend school...to where Harry was.

If only he got some information and knew that the dark forces were gathering strength.Once the dark forces rise again, he will take action against Harry and hand over the last member of the Potter family to them.If he handed Harry over to them, who would dare say that he had ever betrayed Voldemort?He will return with great honors. . . "

"I didn't protect my best friend back then. I couldn't let their children be in danger. I knew that I had to take action. I was the only one who knew that Peter was still alive..."

"It was like someone lit a fire in my head and the dementors couldn't put it out. It was not a pleasant feeling, it was an obsession, but the thought gave me strength and made my mind clear.

So one night they opened my door to bring food, and I, being a dog, slipped away from them.

I was very thin at that time, very thin, so thin that I could slip out between the iron cabinet bars.As a dog, I swam back to the mainland.I headed north, and as a dog, I came to Hogwarts.

I've been living in the Forbidden Forest since I arrived at Hogwarts...except of course when I go to Quidditch matches. You fly as well as your dad, Harry. ” Blake held out his hand to Harry, a look of longing on his face.

"But Professor McGonagall and the others said that you are my parents' secret keeper!" Harry still didn't believe Black's words.

"Harry, I'm sorry, it's all my fault," Black's expression suddenly dropped and he said, "It was all my wrong decision that harmed your parents. I was your parents' secret keeper at the beginning, but among us It seems that someone leaked the secret and Voldemort knew about it.

He sent people everywhere to find my way out, and I knew that my identity had been discovered.Dumbledore also advised me to find a place to hide, but I knew that there was no way for me to escape Voldemort except using the Fidelity Curse again.

I was already James' secret keeper, and it made no sense to continue the cycle of having someone else be my secret keeper.And Dumbledore is already the secret keeper of many Order of the Phoenix bases and can no longer be distracted from protecting me.

It was precisely because of consideration of Dumbledore's difficulties that James and Lily asked me to be their secret keeper instead of being protected by Dumbledore himself.

And if I leave England and go too far away from James, the Loyalty Charm will lose its effectiveness. *(Otherwise Sirius Black would go abroad to a distant flower garden, and Voldemort would not dare to pursue him even if he knew it. The Loyalty Curse would be too buggy.)"

"I knew that I was no match for Voldemort. After Voldemort killed me, the Loyalty Curse would automatically expire. I knew that even if I died, James would not be in danger, so I came up with what I thought was a brilliant idea. I Convince James and Lily to change the secret keeper to Peter, and hide this matter from the rest of the Order of the Phoenix, including Dumbledore, because I feel that the Order of the Phoenix is ​​not worthy of complete trust.

I think that is the most perfect plan. I will lure him away. As long as Voldemort continues to hunt me, James and Lily will be safe.It's just that I didn't expect that there is a mole among us who has been delivering messages to Voldemort.

It's all my fault, I went to see Peter the night they died to make sure he was okay, but by the time I got to where he was hiding, he was gone.But there were no signs of a struggle, and I felt something was wrong, and I became afraid.I went directly to where your parents lived.When I saw their house, it was destroyed and I saw their bodies. Only then did I know that Peter had betrayed them and how big of a mistake I had made. "Sirius whimpered like a big injured dog.

Harry hesitated, a little hesitant. What Sirius said was reasonable, but he still didn't know whether to believe him.

"It only takes one decisive piece of evidence to prove that what Black said is true." Maple said, "Remember me telling you that at the Quidditch World Cup, I discovered that Malfoy and his Death Eaters all had black marks on their left arms. The Magic Mark. And Karkaroff, I learned from Rita Skeeter that he is also a Death Eater..."

Maple paused for a moment, but when she thought that Hermione was also present, there was no need to hide it, "Also, Professor Snape was also a Death Eater."

"Snape, is he also a Death Eater?" Professor Lupine, Harry, Ron, and Sirius Black showed extremely surprised expressions on their faces. Harry and Ron had a very bad impression of Snape, but they never expected it. He is also one of the largest underworld members in the wizarding world.

Taking stock of Dumbledore's professors, Animagus, real prophets, half-goblins, half-giants, werewolves, plus people on this path, it's really all-encompassing.

"Snape, he is a Death Eater, and Dumbledore asked him to be our professor?" Ron said dissatisfied.

"Dumbledore asked him to teach Harry?" Sirius roared dissatisfied.The object of his Animagus transformation is a big dog, and his personality is very similar to that of a dog.

"Rita Skeeter said that Professor Dumbledore personally vouched for him. Peter Pettigrew is our mole, so Professor Snape should be Professor Dumbledore's informant. He is on Voldemort's side." The source of the information should be Professor Snape," Maple said.

Maple gave Snape a fair word, but no one except the gentle Lupin seemed to listen.

"Well, Professor Snape is not reliable. That is Professor Dumbledore's responsibility. I believe that under Professor Dumbledore's nose, he would not dare to have any bad intentions. Neither Professor Snape nor Karkaroff Appearing in the Quidditch World Cup, if they also have the Dark Mark on their bodies, then it is certain that all Death Eaters have the Dark Mark on their bodies, which can prove that Sirius Black is wronged." Maple said, this point Everyone present agreed with this, "Maybe we don't need to take a certain risk to collect evidence on them. We can ask Professor Dumbledore directly. Since Professor Snape is his undercover, Professor Dumbledore must know this issue." s answer."

"Okay." Harry said.

"I will stay here until you check with Dumbledore," Sirius Black said.

"Since you are going to live here, you need to decorate it." Maple said, turning her eyes to Hermione, the two smiled in agreement, and then took out their wands at the same time.

"Clean up! Reinforce protection!" With the two people waving their magic wands, the dust on the walls and the stains on the floor were instantly cleaned up, and the furniture and beds on the floor were also brand new.

"It's so beautiful," Professor Lupin praised. "Your magic ability now exceeds mine."

"Thank you, Professor Lupin!" Hermione smiled happily.

"Let's go." Harry finally said goodbye to Black. Just this made Sirius Black very happy.

Maple and Hermione apparated away with Ron and Harry. Professor Lupine stayed behind to catch up with his old friends. When they left, they seemed to see Lupine and Black hugging each other like brothers.

Things have changed, Prongs is gone, Wormtail has become a traitor, and only Moony and Padfoot are left as the original foursome of the authors of the Marauder's Map. They must have a lot to talk about.

"I really envy Professor Lupine. Even though he is a werewolf, he still has two good friends who are in love with each other. Not only do they not dislike his identity, but they also learned the Animagus for him." Maple couldn't help but look at the Shrieking Shack. A sigh.

"Did my father learn the Animagus because of Professor Lupin?" Harry asked curiously.

"After being bitten by a werewolf, you will turn into a werewolf, and the children you give birth to will also turn into werewolves, and there is no antidote. When Professor Lupine was bitten, there was no wolfsbane potion..."

"What is Wolfsbane Potion?" Ron asked.

"It was invented by Damcos Bellby two years ago. It can keep werewolves sane when they transform during the full moon. The wolfsbane potion must be taken one week before the full moon of each month. For this reason, he also received the Knight Merlin Medal." Hermione seemed to have obsessive-compulsive disorder. Now that she was not in class, she still couldn't change her interest in answering questions.

"Yes, before the invention of wolfsbane potion, werewolves had to turn into a full-fledged wolf once a month. After they turned into wolves, they would attack everything around them irrationally like a real wolf, even them relatives."

"After becoming a werewolf, it was impossible for Professor Lupine to go to Hogwarts. But then Dumbledore became the principal, and Professor Lupine had the opportunity to enter Hogwarts. The Whomping Willow and the Screaming The shack and the secret passage were all built to allow Professor Lupine to go to school normally.

Once a month, Professor Lupin is smuggled out of the castle and sent here to transform.The tree was planted at the entrance of the tunnel to prevent anyone from touching Professor Lupine when he turned into a wolf.

Transformation without Wolfsbane is painful, and they develop a frenzied urge to bite other species, even scratching and biting themselves when far away from people.The noises and screams heard in Hogsmeade from the Shrieking Shack were actually caused by Professor Lupin at the time. "

"So this is how the legend of the Shrieking Shack came about." Ron suddenly realized.

"In school, Professor Lupine made three good friends, Sirius Black, Harry's father, and Peter Pettigrew. It is impossible for Professor Lupine's three friends not to notice that Professor Lupine disappears once a month , Professor Lupine made up various reasons, but was later discovered by Harry's father and others.

Professor Lupine was very scared at the time. He was worried that they would ignore him after knowing his werewolf identity.But I didn't expect that not only did they not give up Lupine as a friend, they also learned Animagi for Professor Lupin.

They secretly learned Animagus without telling their professor and family. This magic is very dangerous and requires a wizard who is extremely proficient in transformation to do it.It's really hard to imagine that they could do this for their friends. They were only in second grade when they started, and there was no help from professors, no help from adult wizards, and no potions master to prepare the transformation potions for them.It can be said that they took great risks to do this. "Maple sighed. In this regard, he was ashamed of himself. Snape provided him with the best potions. (Potions of different qualities have different increases in the success rate of Animagus transformation. , those that passed through Snape's hands are naturally the best) He had the Hogwarts Order to protect him. Although Obscurus was unfortunate, it also provided him with sufficient magic power needed to transform.

The four of them were silent for a while before Maple continued: "Fortunately, they succeeded. It took them three years to finally complete the Animagus."

"But how does this help Professor Lupin?" Hermione asked, seeming confused.

"They couldn't keep Professor Lupine company in human form, so they kept him company in animal form. Peter Pettigrew became the smallest animal, the mouse, and there was a knot at the base of the Whomping Willow that kept the tree still. , Peter Pettigrew can use his young body to get under the Whomping Willow and press the scar.

Sirius and Harry's fathers turned into very large animals, one into a big dog and the other into a tall stag, which could deter werewolves.And so, once a month, Sirius wore the Invisibility Cloak and sneaked into the Shrieking Shack, then stayed by Professor Lupin's side during each of his transformations. "After Maple finished speaking, Harry and the others couldn't calm down for a long time.

"It's such an enviable friendship, but Harry, your relationship with Ron is no worse than theirs." Harry looked at Ron with a satisfied smile on his face.Ron also smiled, but he was a little embarrassed. When Harry became a Hogwarts warrior, he was still a little jealous. Now compared with Harry's father and the others, he feels a little ashamed.

"Professor McGonagall!" They didn't stay in Hogsmeade for long before they returned to Hogwarts and headed directly towards Professor Dumbledore's office. On the way they met Professor McGonagall, and the four of them hurriedly asked him say hello.

"Ah, it's the four of you. Didn't you go to Hogsmeade?" Professor McGonagall's attitude was rare and kind, probably because half of them were Triwizard Tournament warriors.

"We want to find Professor Dumbledore," Maple said when Professor McGonagall raised her eyebrows again, as if they were going to get into trouble again. "It's Harry. He wants to ask Professor Dumbledore something." Issues related to his parents.”

"What's the problem?" Professor McGonagall asked.

"This is Harry's privacy," Maple said.

Seeing that they were trying to hide it from her again, Professor McGonagall was a little angry. Maple quickly said: "Don't worry, Professor, this time it's definitely not something like the Sorcerer's Stone. It's really about Harry's parents." It’s a problem, and Harry can just go alone, we won’t go there.”

"The principal is in the office, and the password for his office is Cockroach Pile." When Professor McGonagall said this password, her expression twisted unnaturally, and it was obvious that she was not able to accept Dumbledore's weird habits.

"Thank you, Professor." Harry thanked him.

After saying goodbye to Professor McGonagall, they arrived in front of the principal's office together.

"Pile of cockroaches!" The stone monster at the door immediately came to life and jumped to the side, revealing an entrance.

Harry entered through the entrance in the wall, while Maple and the others waited outside.A moment after Harry entered, the entrance in the wall closed and the stone monster returned to its original location.

Harry stepped onto the spiral stone staircase, which slowly rose automatically, bringing him to a gleaming oak door with a brass knocker.

"Harry?" Dumbledore had a surprised look on his face, but still asked Harry to sit down.

"Professor Dumbledore, I would like to ask you a question. Are all Voldemort's Death Eaters branded with a Dark Mark on their left arms?" Harry asked.

"Harry, yes!" Dumbledore had a very surprised expression on his face. He didn't know where Harry knew this, but his face was more happy than reproachful.

"It's true." Harry seemed to be relieved suddenly after hearing the answer given by Dumbledore himself.Only then did he realize that he also hoped that his godfather would be innocent.

Harry raised his head and saw Professor Dumbledore looking at him intently.

"It was Maple, Professor, he discovered it," Harry said.Dumbledore's eyes seemed to have a strange magic power that made Harry couldn't help but tell the truth.

"He must have done what happened in the Quidditch World Cup. No wonder." Dumbledore said with a smile.

"I can't hide anything from you, Professor," said Harry.

"It's really amazing. Using Voldemort's name to sneak attack all the Death Eaters and the Ministry of Magic's rescuers, it's a great idea." Dumbledore praised.Seeing Maple's performance, Dumbledore seemed to see hope for the future of the wizarding world.Dumbledore felt that his body would be fine for a few more years. As long as he protected the magical world for a few more years, and when Maple grew up, he could let go of his burden.

Harry hesitated, but trusting Dumbledore, Harry told Dumbledore about Sirius Black.
