HP Polar Night

"Do you know my parents?" Harry asked in the empty classroom.Agares nodded, but he didn't speak.

"I heard that he and Sirius Black used to be best friends. They were inseparable, like a pair of brothers." Harry's tone was full of loss and confusion, as if he didn't understand, but it was so good Why did the two of you end up like that.

Agares was not surprised, he had already learned about this from Lupine.What he wondered was why Harry reacted so strongly to this.And he had a hunch that he was going to hear something from Harry tonight that would give him a headache.

Sure enough, Harry went on to say: "He invited him to be the best man, and he was also my godfather."

"They used a spell, the Fidelity Curse..."

Hearing this spell, Agares had already reacted without Harry finishing the rest of his sentence.He frowned fiercely and pursed his lips. "Harry." He called the other party.

There was intense sadness in the boy's eyes, as well as an unmistakable hatred.

"So I can't..." Can't face you like nothing happened, can't pretend I don't know anything, you understand, Agares.

"Harry," Agares called the other person's name again, with a soft and gentle voice, "it's okay, Harry." I understand how you feel, so it's okay to hate me, it's okay.

Harry smiled wryly: "I feel so bad, Agares." So weak, bearing so much fame, but can't do anything.Even if he wanted to ask the traitor why in person, he couldn't do it.Can only hide in the castle, hiding behind many people.

"It will be fine, everything will be fine." Agares patted the boy's shoulder lightly.

"Agares, I..." Harry hesitated to speak.

Understanding what the other party meant, Agares asked: "Do you believe me?"

Harry nodded hurriedly.

"Although I have such a relationship with him, Harry, I will help you catch him. He needs to pay for everything he has done." The person who brought him such an embarrassing situation is also the time Send him back to Azkaban.Even if they have the same blood flowing in their bodies.

"But..." Harry looked troubled.However, that is your biological father.

"It was his sin, and he deserved it."

That night, no one except the parties knew about the conversation between Harry and Agares.But from the next day onwards, the relationship between them has indeed returned to the previous closeness, even more tacit understanding.

Agares is not lying to Harry, he is really planning to capture Sirius Black, his biological father, Azkaban prison breaker, and Harry Potter's enemy.

Considering the pros and cons, Sirius' fugitive brought Agares: Harry's grievances, the hostility of the wizarding world, and a huge stain on his future political career.If he sent Sirius back to Azkaban with his own hands, first of all, Harry would feel sorry for him—he really knew the boy’s character too well—and secondly, he could shape himself into a righteous person who killed his relatives, which was good for him. The image reversal in the minds of the people is of great significance.In the end, he could completely get rid of Sirius' bad influence on him, and even regarded him as a stepping stone for his development in the Ministry of Magic.

Based on the above, what reason does he have for not arresting Sirius Black?

The Marauder's Map was a magical item that the Weasley twins stole from Filch's office. After learning how to use it from Harry, Agares had to sigh secretly that it was indeed a genius alchemy work.

The person who made this map must be a very good student, and of course he must be a night ranger—if it wasn't for avoiding the night patrolling professor during the night tour, could it be possible that it was made just to monitor other people's whereabouts at any time?

Of course, if this map falls into the hands of the professor, those night rangers can catch it right away.

How does it tell different people apart?And what about the one whose real name is displayed on the map?

Every secret passage and secret room on the map is simple. Judging from the secret room leading to the forbidden book area without the library above, it should only correspond to every place that the person who made the map knows or has visited.Like the Forbidden Forest, it only covers the periphery and does not go deep.

And do all the people on this map only include the current professors and students?Or is it that those who have graduated, or other people who have not graduated from Hogwarts, will also have their names displayed on it after entering the castle?

If Sirius Black's name can also appear on the map, can he add a spell so that when Sirius appears, the map will issue an early warning?

With this series of questions, Agares spent several days studying the map.

That night, he opened the Marauder's Map as usual, but unexpectedly saw a familiar name on it: Peter Pedro.If he remembered correctly, the name should belong to a wizard who died at the hands of Sirius Black, another Gryffindor hero who had been friends with James Potter and Remus Lupine.

Agares deliberately went to the library to borrow the thick alumni book. Since the establishment of Hogwarts, there have been hundreds of people named Peter, but there is only one named Peter Pedro.

In other words, a well-known dead person in the wizarding world appeared at Hogwarts?

Is the map broken?Or someone else with the same name?

Following the directions of the map, Agares came to an empty classroom on the third floor.He looked at the ink-dot figurine representing himself at the door of the classroom, and the name of Peter Pedro was less than five meters away from him. "Luminescence flickering."

The small classroom looked as far as the eye could see, except for a few tables and chairs, there was no one else in the classroom.

Agares frowned.

Is the map really broken?

He looked at the name on the map again, and Peter Pedro stayed where he was for a while, then suddenly galloped in his direction.Agares was taken aback, and the wand subconsciously threw a piece of armor in front of him.Pedro quickly passed him, headed towards the corridor, and quickly walked away.

Illusion spell?Invisibility cloak?Various guesses flashed through Agares' mind, but he didn't stop on his feet. He followed the fast-moving ink dot on the map.

According to the indication on the map, in front of Pedro, at the corner of the corridor stood Remus Lupine and Severus Snape.Before Agares hesitated whether to stop or not—after all, he was still in a night tour at the moment, and bumped into the hands of two professors, one of whom was quite hostile to him.

However, it was Pedro who changed direction faster than him.

Almost as soon as he and Professor Lupine met their names, he immediately turned around. Even though there was Agares behind, he ran towards this direction without hesitation.

Agares extinguished the glow of his wand and cast a binding spell on the corridor.

There was a scream, and as the flames splashed, a gray mouse fell at Agares' feet and was twitching. "Rat?" Agares looked at the map, and the ink dot representing Peter Pedro appeared beside him.An absurd guess entered his mind: Animagus, the spell that turns people into animals.

The movement here was not small, and before Agares could think more, the two professors who heard the movement had already walked over here.Without time to think, almost subconsciously, Agares grabbed the mouse at his feet, cast himself a disillusionment spell and a silence spell, and quickly left to the other side.

After he returned to Slytherin's bedroom, he released the suspected Animagus mouse.

"Peter Pedrew."

The gray mouse lay motionless on the floor, looking as if it were dead.But Agares's wand did not relax, and it was always pointed at the opponent.

"It is said that you died at the hands of Sirius Black 12 years ago. If I handed you over to Dumbledore, what do you think would happen? Or Professor Lupine? You used to be best friends, no ?"

The mouse remained motionless.

Agares frowned slightly, looking impatient. "If you are really an ordinary mouse, I must..." Before he finished speaking, the mouse suddenly jumped towards his face.Agares was startled, and was about to cast a petrification spell, but the mouse turned a corner halfway and ran away towards the door.

This kind of performance presumably does not need to say anything more.

Squeak!

The place by the door suddenly burst into flames, and the mouse that rushed towards the door was burned to the ground, screaming miserably.

Agares walked over unhurriedly. "I suggest that you should not act rashly, otherwise what awaits you next time may not be such an ordinary flame."

He waited patiently for a while, and finally, the mouse with nowhere to escape stopped.It looked at Agares, the black bean-like eyes were full of human emotions.

Under Agares' gaze, the mouse's body began to twist and swell, first the limbs, then the head, like a transfiguration, a human torso grew out of the mouse's body.After a while, a fat and short man stood in front of Agares instead of the original gray mouse.

The man has unkempt gray hair, which is exactly the same as that of the original mouse, and his pointed nose and small eyes seem to have the characteristics of a mouse.He stood cowering, wringing his hands.The scars burned by the fire are all over the body, looking really pitiful.

"You, hello, Agares..."

Agares smiled: "Mr. Pedro, nice to meet you."

But judging from Peter Pedro's expression at the moment, he must not feel that there is anything to be happy about.

The author has something to say:

In the last chapter, when Agares went to borrow the Marauder's Map, Peter was there, so he was afraid of being discovered, so he hurriedly bit Ron and fled. [What if they look at the map on the spot and find that there are more people's names floating on the side! 】

Later Peter hid in the empty classroom, trying to find a way to escape.But he didn't expect that Agares would stay up all night looking at the Marauder's Map!Not to mention that Agares actually knew his name and that he was a "dead man"!Unexpectedly, Agares actually came to block him on purpose, and he almost ran into Remus's hand when he was running away! 【Remus can recognize him immediately when he sees him】

Ever since, the unlucky Peter was arrested.
