This Hogwarts isn't normal.

Something was wrong, very wrong.

Vincent didn't feel the magic surge from Lupine's wand, and he wasn't healing Peter Pettigrew.

Their conversation didn't sound like old friends reunited after a long separation, but instead seemed like questioning? A bit like an interrogation again?

Mag's brows were furrowed and his expression was solemn, as if he was hesitating.

Snape's face was full of gloating, and his eyes were filled with disgust and even some anticipation.

I don't understand it, I don't understand it at all.

Vincent blinked at Hermione who was also confused.

If something unexpected happens, the two of them will activate the time turner before things get to the point of no return.

"Haha——" Lupine suddenly laughed.

His laughter became smaller and smaller, and then he stood up unsteadily.

"Wormtail - no, Peter Pettigrew, you're lying!" His tone became increasingly serious, as if he was out of control.

Peter Pettigrew didn't dare to meet his eyes. He kicked his legs on the ground and backed away from the school in a panic, "I...I didn't lie...I told the truth..."

lie? What are you talking about?

Snape's eyes turned cold, and Vincent had to point the double snake staff at his head.

If he loses control again, I'm afraid there will be a fight.

"True?" Lupine's tone was full of mockery, "You said you were timid and didn't have the courage to show up, but you are not a stupid person."

He slowly walked towards Peter Pettigrew, "You are a hero who has been awarded the Order of Merlin, First Class. As long as you show up, the entire magical world will protect you with all its strength."

Mag's face was sullen, and she squeezed the wand in her hand tightly.

"I...I..." Peter Pettigrew looked even more flustered, his little eyes scanning back and forth all around.

Every time Lupine took a step, his legs would kick back a few times.

He was speechless until a long and deep mark was pressed on the grass.

"Enough!" Lu Ping suddenly shouted, walked forward quickly, and looked down at him,

"Padfoot is in the school, in the Forbidden Forest. His target is not Harry but you, right?"

Peter Pettigrew was stunned, looking particularly guilty, "You...don't be kidding...Padfoot betrayed James and Lily, and his target is Harry..."

Snape narrowed his eyes instantly and tightly grasped the wand in his hand, "Wayne! Get up!"

Vincent put the double snake staff against his forehead, "Professor, I think you'd better figure out the whole thing first."

Sirius is actually Padfoot, the third creator of the Marauder's Map.

And according to what Lu Ping said, he had already arrived at the school, even in the Forbidden Forest.

Vincent exchanged a quick glance with Hermione.

If Sirius was really in the Forbidden Forest, there was no way they hadn't discovered it before.

Just when the two began to wonder if he had arrived recently, Lu Ping said something even more shocking,

“It was indeed Padfoot that I saw at that Quidditch match, the one where the dementor army came.

If his target was Harry, then he clearly had countless opportunities, so why didn't he take action? "

Peter Pettigrew did not push back any further, but kept his sideways posture, "I...I don't know what you are talking about..."

Lupine raised the wand in his hand, "You knew Padfoot came to school to find you, so you pretended to be missing and hid."

His hands were shaking, "Say! Why on earth is Padfoot looking for you!"

"I...I..."

Peter Pettigrew's eyes suddenly lit up, "Remus, I didn't expect you to know so much!"

He was coming over, holding a wand in his hidden hand.

This is Wells's wand, the wand he stole.

"You-" Lupine was knocked to the ground by a large ball of red light.

There was no fear on Peter Pettigrew's face just now, and everyone could only see an extremely cruel smile rising from the corner of his mouth.

"This is..." Vincent felt a strong breath of black magic appear in the air around him.

They come from Wells' wand, and they also have an aura of destruction.

"Thunderbolt explosion!"

Peter Pettigrew actually used black magic to increase the blasting spell, doubling the destructive power.

The dazzling orange-red light exploded like a flame, and the powerful power instantly annihilated the air around the tip of his staff.

Mag quickly inserted the wand into the ground, and the raised hill-like stone wall was blown to pieces in the blink of an eye.

The aftermath of the explosion continues.

"Armor protection!"

The iron armor spells released by the two snake heads of the double snake staff merge into one, forming a barrier that continuously expands outwards.

Vincent held the staff tightly with both hands and cast the Iron Armor spell continuously to expand the range enough to wrap around Lupine and Mag.

The aftermath of the blasting curse made the barrier tremble, and each additional ripple dimmed it.

A small figure emerged from the smoke and ran wildly outside the school.

When the barrier completely disappeared, Snape quickly stood up from the ground, his originally cold eyes now only filled with horror.

Peter Pettigrew's blasting spell was one of the reasons, Vincent's armor spell being able to withstand the aftermath was the second reason, and the sudden disappearance of him and Hermione was the third reason.

McGonagall, with disheveled hair, came to Lupine and stretched out her hand to him, "Remus, what is going on?"

Snape ran over quickly and grabbed Lupine by the collar who had just stood up, "Black is in the Forbidden Forest? Where is he?"

Lu Ping pushed his hand away with all his strength, "Ha-don't you, you annoying guy, always think of yourself as smart? Why haven't you figured out the whole thing yet?"

Peter Pettigrew actually knew black magic, and could even amplify the blasting spell to such power.

Now that he's gone, Vincent and Hermione must be looking for him after they disappear.

Snape didn't seem to hear Lupine's taunt, and he knelt on the ground helplessly.

He looked at his open hands and asked, "Is there something wrong with that explosion?"

Lupine ignored him and limped toward the outside of the school.

McGonagall pursed her lips and stopped in front of her, "Remus, there's no need to chase him. Those two children have a way to find Peter Pettigrew."

Lupine looked around and realized that Vincent and Hermione were gone.

He gritted his teeth and sat down, silently accepting Mag's treatment.

After briefly dealing with it, Snape suddenly came to him.

"Tell me, Lupin, what do you know?"

His tone was very soft, as if he was pleading.

McGonagall looked at the unmoved Lupine, "Remus, do you suspect that Peter Pettigrew directed and acted in the explosion that year?"

Lupine was silent, but his pained expression said it all.

That finger was left on purpose. As for why he pretended to be killed by Sirius, even risking the lives of 12 innocent Muggles, I am afraid only the two parties involved know.

One of them ran away, and the other, according to Lupine, was in the Forbidden Forest.

"Oh -" Snape suddenly sneered, "Lupin, why are you scared now?

You didn't expect your friendship to be so fragile, right? You have been betrayed by your so-called friends more than once, and you dare not face it, you coward! "

Lupine stood up tremblingly, "Who are you calling a coward!"

He punched Snape hard in the face, "You bastard, you don't know anything at all! Why do you think I'm afraid!"

Snape, who was lying on the ground, spat out the blood in his mouth and kicked Lupine in the stomach, who was about to land his fist again.

"We're going to fight, right?"

Mag watched the two people grappling with each other, and wanted to step forward several times to try to stop them.

But she was very aware of the conflict between the two, and they were just fighting each other with fists and kicks.

Not long after, patches of dark clouds came from the sky.

Lupine and Snape, bruised and bruised, stopped at the same time.

Those were dementors, they must be here to capture Sirius.

But the strange thing is that they did not move towards the Forbidden Forest.

Snape wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, "Follow them, Black must be there!"

The direction the dementors were heading was outside the school, the direction Peter Pettigrew escaped.

Lu Ping snorted and ran silently behind him.

Mag loosened her tight lips slightly and quickly followed the two of them.

No matter what, the truth is out there.
