From Hogwarts Legacy to Hogwarts

Harry saw that after Lupine entered Dumbledore's office, the expression on his face became a little embarrassed. It seemed that what he was about to say made him make up his mind.

"Dumbledore, I recently discovered something: Peter Pedillo is very likely not dead."

Dumbledore looked questioningly at Remus through his half-moon glasses, beckoning him to continue.

Lupine licked his lips hesitantly: "I recently received a gadget from a student that can display the names of everyone in Hogwarts. I have verified that it is real. The magic effect on it is very useful. .Just a while ago, I found out that Peter Pedilou was on it."

Dumbledore's eyes visibly sharpened as he waited for Remus to continue.

"I also wondered before that the magic bauble was wrong, but I re-read the news when Peter died, and it said that he only had one finger left. I think it may be that he deliberately faked his death. Sirius Black was wronged. The one who really betrayed... James was Peter," said Lupine, casting a glance at Harry.

Harry didn't realize for a moment who the "James" Professor Lupine mentioned was.Then suddenly realized, it was his father: James Potter.

Lupine continued, with nostalgia for the old man in his tone: "Besides, according to what I know about James and Sirius, although they have a great possibility to let each other be their secret keeper, they are more likely to be in the end It was a crucial change. Because almost everyone knew at the time that the four of us were good friends, and the relationship between Sirius and James was even better.

"Only Sirius will come to be the secret-keeper. Everyone thinks so. But Sirius may propose a replacement at the last minute." Lupine suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly, "Obviously, it won't be me. Then It could very well be Peter."

Dumbledore added with a wry smile: "Actually, I also proposed to James to be their family's secret keeper. But he refused me on the grounds that he was looking for Sirius."

Lupine smiled wryly: "In those days, no one could be trusted, right? Besides, I'm sorry for hiding it from you, Professor Dumbledore, Peter Pedilu is an Animagus." A Daily Prophet with a picture of a happy family.

Harry had seen the newspaper, it was the news that Ron's father had won a lottery to travel to Egypt and the photos of their family last summer, and Ron had sent him the newspaper at that time.

Dumbledore nodded: "Unregistered Animagus. You really impress me."

Lupine bowed his head very guilty, as if he was a student: "I'm sorry, Professor Dumbledore, I have failed your trust, I have been hesitant to tell you about this..."

Dumbledore waved his hand and interrupted Lupine's apology: "It's a great thing, you know, Animagus transfiguration is very difficult for adult wizards. And, you have already told me, Peter is an unregistered Animagus. Is it on this picture?" With that said, Dumbledore picked up the newspaper.

Lupine was very grateful to Dumbledore for his tolerance, and replied: "Yes, the mouse on the shoulder of the Weasleys' youngest son is Peter." His tone was very flat, as if people around him often turned into animals. matter.

Harry couldn't realize for a moment that the youngest son of the Weasley family was Ron, his mouse was Scabbers, and Scabbers was an Animagus, who was actually Peter Pedillo who betrayed his father.

Dumbledore put down the newspaper hesitantly: "It's not that I don't believe you, Remus, but I haven't seen Peter for so long, I really can't tell if the mouse here is really him."

"Have you ever seen a mouse that lived nearly thirteen years, Dumbledore?" Lupine asked.

Harry thought that Dumbledore didn't believe Lupine, and explained: "Scabbets did live a long time, Professor Dumbledore, according to Ron, Scabbers turned out to be his brother Percy's pet, but Percy became a prefect. Mrs Weasley rewarded him with a new pet owl, and Scabbers became Ron's pet."

Dumbledore nodded, as if he had just noticed that Harry was also in his office: "Oh, Harry, you're here too."

Harry nodded shyly to Dumbledore because of his interruption, and raised his own question again: "Professor Lupine, Scabbers has been in a very bad state this year, and he has been drowsy and lacks energy. already dead."

"What? No," surprised Lupine, "I'm still..." and fell silent, waiting for Harry to continue.

Harry went on to explain: "Since Hermione bought Crookshanks, it has been wanting to eat Scabbers, and Scabbers disappeared in a few months, and found some blood and Crookshanks on Ron's pillow." Same ginger cat fur."

Lupine narrowed his eyes: "There is no body?"

Harry nodded.

Lupine turned to Dumbledore: "There was no body when Peter died, only his index finger was found." Lupine pointed to the mouse lying on Ron's shoulder in the newspaper, "This one is also broken. A toe. And now he's gone again, no body."

Lupine is almost specifying that "Scabbers is Peter Pedillo", but the allegation is far-fetched.Especially when there is no concrete evidence.

Dumbledore could only nod his head: "Thank you for reminding, Remus, but you also know those people in the Ministry of Magic, what you said is your own conjecture. If you really want to reverse the case for Sirius, we will Need stronger evidence. Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on Hogwarts rats too."

Lupine sighed, understanding.Dumbledore may not pursue why Peter Pedilou is an unregistered Animagus, but the group of people from the Ministry of Magic will definitely pursue it.Moreover, if it is pursued, Sirius is also an unregistered Animagus, and this secret may be difficult to keep.

Harry walked out of Dumbledore's office with Lupine, Harry still digesting what he had just learned about his father.This is one of the rare things he knew about his father directly, not from books in the library or old photos.Then realized: "Professor Lupine, are you and my father friends?"

Lupine smiled and patted his head: "Harry, your father has helped me a lot. I am very grateful to James. I am proud to have such a friend."

"Then can you tell me more about my parents?"

Halia, who was outside Hogwarts, was flying on a broomstick with Fred and George, and she didn't know that things had changed because of the flapping of her unexpected butterfly wings.She's trying to outrun Fred and George in a three-person air race.

"No way, you don't know how to do this, and you have the nerve to say that you are a Quidditch batter?" Halia walked through rings of different heights one after another. These rings were the ones she had experienced in the game. Flying broom test content.She turned her head and provoked the two of them jokingly.

"This lady seems to despise us, George."

"Yes, then we can only let her see our real level."

"That's not good." As soon as Fred and George finished speaking, taking advantage of Halia's distraction, they suddenly rushed to her side, holding Halia on both sides, and leading her forward without stopping. rush.

"Ah!" Halia was frightened by the sudden acceleration, "No, it's too fast."

"Fred, do you hear anyone talking?"

"No, George."

In this way, Halia regretted for the first time that she provoked these two pranksters ignorantly.

Still, it's not a bad feeling to fly that fast.

All three thought so.
