Hogwarts lazy snake

Dumbledore's appearance was like a bombshell, instantly making the already tense situation even more confusing. Everyone held their breath, waiting for his words and actions.

"This is truly a shocking allegation, and if true, it completely overturns the truth we have been following for so many years."

Dumbledore's eyes moved from the mouse in Ron's arms to Lupin: "Professor Lupin, tell me what's going on."

Lupin nodded solemnly and recounted everything that had happened before.

From Blake's sudden appearance and accusations against Peter, to Banban's unusual behavior, and everyone's efforts to capture Banban, nothing is missed.

Dumbledore listened quietly, his face calm, but his eyes became increasingly profound, as if he was quickly sorting out the intricate clues in his mind.

After Lupin finished speaking, Dumbledore closed his eyes slightly, then opened them a moment later, with a look of determination in his eyes:

"The truth is often hidden deep in the fog, but we must not let it continue to sleep. Now is the time to uncover the secret that has been buried for many years."

After saying this, Dumbledore raised his wand, and a soft, bright light shot out from the tip of the wand, accurately covering Ban Ban in Ron's arms.

Banban struggled desperately in the light, making squeaking sounds, but was unable to break free from the magic.

"Peter Petillo, show yourself."

Dumbledore's voice was deep and powerful, as if it had the power to penetrate the soul, and it echoed in the silent night sky.

As Dumbledore finished his words, Scabbers' body began to change dramatically.

Its limbs gradually lengthened, its body swelled, and its hair fell off. In a blink of an eye, a man with less hair, dull and lifeless hair, a messy head with small bald spots, a short body, a mouse-like face and a pointed nose, and his right hand was missing an index finger. The miserable and terrified face of Peter Pettigrew appeared before everyone.

He curled up on the ground, his eyes full of despair and fear, trying to avoid the sharp gazes of the crowd.

"Peter... it's really you..."

Sirius' voice trembled, and there was an indescribable sadness mixed with his anger.

For many years, he fled everywhere with the stigma of a traitor, while the real culprit was hiding in the dark, surviving in such a humble manner.

Harry stared at Peter intently, the anger in his eyes burning again: "Are you the despicable man who betrayed my parents?..."

His body trembled slightly, his clenched fists turned white from the force, and his anger surged in his body like a raging wave.

Hermione and the others were also stunned by the scene before their eyes, and couldn't help but exclaimed in unison: "Merlin's stockings, this is incredible!"

Carlotta originally wanted to tease Ron, but when she saw how nauseous he looked, she was afraid that the joke would go too far and cause an accident, so she and Hermione hurriedly stood in front of Harry and stretched out their hands to stop him from acting impulsively.

At this moment, Ron felt his stomach churning, and recalled the intimate scenes with Banban in the past.

It kept flashing through my mind like a nightmare - the lack of vigilance in the shower, the closeness of sleeping on the same bed at night, and those unintentional acts of intimacy, all of which made me sick to think about now.

His face wrinkled instantly, his body trembled uncontrollably, and he covered his mouth tightly with both hands, trying his best to suppress the urge to vomit, muttering: "How is this possible? This is too disgusting..."

Peter curled up on the ground, his eyes wandering around in panic. Seeing Blake lying on the ground at the same time, he said tremblingly: "No... It wasn't me, you got it wrong, it was Blake who did it. I was trying to escape Blake's killing..."

However, his trembling voice and flickering eyes exposed his lies and made his denials seem pale and powerless.

The Aurors were also shocked when they saw this scene.

They had always been certain that Sirius was the murderer of Peter and a traitor among the Death Eaters, but the scene before them began to waver in their beliefs.

"Peter Petillo, you will pay a heavy price for what you have done."

Dumbledore's voice broke the brief silence, his eyes revealing unquestionable majesty.

Peter's lips trembled, and he seemed to want to say something, but in the end he only uttered a few weak whimpers.

"Take him away and return to Hogwarts first." Dumbledore turned to the Aurors and said.

The leading Auror whispered a few words solemnly to an Auror beside him, and that Auror quickly got on his broom and sped away.

Then, the leading Auror turned to Dumbledore, bowed and said, "Headmaster, this matter is extremely important. We need to report it in detail to the Ministry of Magic so that we can conduct a comprehensive and in-depth investigation. I hope you understand."

Dumbledore nodded slightly, his eyes deep and steady: "I understand."

An Auror walked up to Black and was about to cast a spell to strengthen Black's restraints, when Snape suddenly stepped forward and said to the Auror, "Let me help."

After saying that, he waved his wand, and several thick hemp ropes appeared out of thin air, quickly wrapping around Blake and tying him up tightly.

Black felt the pain from the hemp rope and couldn't help but frown and look up at Snape.

Snape had no expression on his face. He just said to the Auror coldly: "Don't worry, this rope is very strong. He can't run away."

The indifference and determination in that tone made the air around them seem a little colder.

A flash of anger flashed in Black's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by helplessness. He knew that under the circumstances, any conflict with Snape would only make his situation more difficult.

The remaining Aurors cast several binding spells on Peter and Black respectively and sent them flying towards Hogwarts.

Harry took a deep breath and tried to calm himself, but his clenched fists were still shaking slightly, and it was obvious that the turmoil in his heart had not yet subsided.

Horn and his companions, as well as Lupin and his companions, got on the sedan chair, which slowly rose into the air and flew towards Hogwarts.

The atmosphere in the sedan was depressing and heavy, as if an invisible boulder was weighing heavily on everyone's heart.

Lupin sat next to Harry, his expression solemn and a little sad. He spoke slowly, breaking the silence in the sedan:

"Harry, there are some things you should know. I, Black, Peter, and your parents James and Lily were once in Hogwarts..."

There was a hint of nostalgia for the past in his eyes.

Not only Harry, but everyone else was listening to what Lupin said.

Snape was also listening quietly to Lupin's story, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a hint of sarcasm:

"Humph, seeing what Peter Petillo did, the so-called friendship is nothing but a joke in the face of life and death. You people are so stupid."

Lupin's face turned pale, his hands clenched into fists, his body trembling slightly, obviously angered by Snape's words. Just as he was about to open his mouth to refute, Harry also shouted in agreement:

"Snape is right, Peter Pettigrew is a despicable man, but their friendship is not ridiculous."

There was a hint of dissatisfaction and anxiety in Harry's voice, and Lupin saw Harry's appearance and smiled with relief without hesitation. Then Lupin suddenly coughed violently. Seeing this, Harry showed a worried look on his face, thinking that Lupin's injury had not yet healed completely.

Snape raised his eyebrows and looked at Harry, his eyes revealing a hint of indifference: "Potter, when you call my name, you should add the word 'Professor'. This is the most basic etiquette for a student. Don't always be so disrespectful."

After saying this, his gaze involuntarily fell on Lupin. When he saw that the serious wounds on Lupin's body had now healed, a barely perceptible hint of surprise and confusion flashed in his eyes.

He subconsciously turned his head to look at Hermione who was concentrating on reading the spellbook, and thought to himself: I know very well the extent of Lupin's injuries caused by me. Given his condition at the time, it would be impossible for him to recover so quickly without a long period of treatment and recuperation.

The sedan chair was flying steadily in the night sky. The moonlight shone through the window onto everyone, casting patches of mottled light and shadows, as if telling stories that had been forgotten by the years.

Harry sat there quietly, his hands tightly clenching the corners of his clothes, his heart was like a pot of mixed feelings, with all kinds of complicated emotions intertwined.

On the one hand, he felt extremely sad and angry about the tragic experience of his parents. Those scenes that once existed only in vague memories have now become so clear and cruel.

On the other hand, he felt lost and confused by what Sirius and Lupin said. He didn't know how to judge the truth of it all, and he didn't know who to believe.

The road ahead became blurred in his eyes, as if shrouded in a thick fog.

Sirius was escorted by the Aurors into the air and flew towards Hogwarts. He looked at the sky silently, his eyes full of guilt towards Harry and worry about the future.

As the sedan chair gradually approached Hogwarts, the magnificent castle looked particularly solemn and mysterious in the moonlight. The towering towers and solid walls seemed to be silently guarding this land full of magic and miracles.

Horn maneuvered the sedan chair down slowly, but everyone's mood was still heavy.

Horn always looked at Black and Pettigrew who were escorted into Hogwarts by the Aurors, and felt as if he had missed something. He then looked at Carlotta and the others and said, "Carlotta, what do we forget from time to time?"

Hermione and Carlotta looked at each other and said, "Hagrid!"

Ron and Neville also remembered at this time that they had originally planned to go to the appointment with Hagrid, but the incident with Scabbers and Black happened.

Horn quickly got on the sedan chair, looked at the dark sky and shouted to everyone, "Let's go. Don't let Hagrid wait too long. This is not a good habit for friends."

Several people hurriedly got on the sedan chair and found that one person was missing.

The sedan was already suspended in the air, swaying slightly, as if urging Harry, who had been reluctant to move, to move.

Several people in the sedan anxiously poked their heads out of the window, all looking at Harry who was still standing motionless below, and shouted in unison.

Ron's anxious and teasing voice broke the brief silence first:

"Harry, what are you still standing there for? Come up here! You know how much Hagrid eats. If you keep dawdling, he'll surely eat up all the delicious food. Then we'll just be left staring at him!"

As he spoke, he exaggeratedly gestured with a big belly, trying to dispel the heavy atmosphere. However, that smile could not hide the fatigue and worry in his eyes.

Horn then urged loudly, "Harry, hurry up! That guy is now being held by the Aurors. He can't escape the heavy confinement of Hogwarts even if he has wings. You don't need to worry about it anymore. Right now, we have to set off quickly and don't let Hagrid wait too long. This is how you should treat your friends."

There was an unquestionable determination in his eyes, and he held the reins of the sedan chair tightly in his hands, ready to set off as soon as Harry got on the sedan chair.

Lupin, who was standing next to Harry, looked a little haggard, but he still pulled himself together and gently advised:

"Harry, go ahead. Look, Madam Pomfrey is coming here. I'll go with her to check the wound carefully. I believe it won't be a big deal. You should also relax your tense nerves and stay with your friends. Maybe you will feel better."

His voice was gentle and soothing, and his eyes were full of concern for Harry.

Harry's eyes stayed on Lupin for a moment, then slowly moved to the familiar and anxious faces at the sedan window.

"Hey, I'm not up yet!"

He pursed his lips slightly, as if he had finally made up his mind, nodded heavily, and then ran towards the sedan chair with slightly heavy but firm steps.

The moment he stepped into the sedan, Ron reached out and pulled him, jokingly saying, "Finally you're here. Let's go now and take a deep breath at Hagrid's."

Harry forced a smile and settled into his seat.

The sedan slowly rose into the air and sped towards Hagrid's cabin. At this moment, the cold wind from the night sky poured in through the cracks in the sedan, ruffling everyone's hair, but it could not blow away the haze lingering in their hearts.

At the same time, a rough but sturdy wooden table outside Hagrid's hut was filled with a variety of food.

The sizzling barbecue on the grill exudes a mouth-watering aroma, and the rising smoke, with an enticing scent, slowly drifts into the cool air.

George and Fred sat around the grill, staring at the barbecue, muttering:

"What's wrong with Harry, Horn and the others? They are too slow! If they don't come soon, this delicious barbecue will be burnt. That would be a shame."

As he spoke, George carefully turned the barbecue, trying to get it heated more evenly. Fred, on the other hand, sniffed the tempting aroma from time to time, his face full of anxiety and anticipation.

Not far away, Draco sat quietly, looking at the blazing bonfire with a lazy look. The jumping flames cast a faint blush on his pale face.

He was chatting with Hagrid about Norberta.

Just at this moment, a sedan chair flew over in the sky. George and Fred saw this strange thing for the first time and looked at it curiously.

Draco knew Horn's alchemical sedan chair, so he stood up and said, "Horn and the others are here."
