Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Chapter 129 The Truth Is Like a Knife
In the Shrieking Shack, Harry and Hermione keep an injured Ron behind them.

The two raised their wands and aimed at the tall and skinny man in front of them.He was dirty, and his long black hair hung loose, covering half of his face.Holding Ron's new wand in his hand, he pointed straight at Ron.

"You need to calm down, Harry." Sirius' voice was hoarse, with a strange feeling, a little tired, but also full of hatred.

"I'm calm!" Harry shouted, "You traitor, murderer!"

"Whatever you say..." Sirius took a step forward, "Now, get out of the way!"

"Impossible!" Harry and Hermione stood firmly in place, blocking Ron behind them, "You killed my parents, and now you are going to kill my best friend!"

"You will pay, I swear! I will make you pay for what you have done!"

Sirius laughed suddenly, but no one could see what his face was like, covered by his hair.

"Except your weapons!"

Hermione took advantage of her unpreparedness to attack first, but was easily blocked by Sirius.Harry yelled and rushed up, even though he was holding a wand, he didn't cast any magic.

The angry Harry completely forgot that he was a wizard, he just wanted to go up and give Sirius a hard punch and beat him up.

He succeeded.

Sirius was grabbed by the wrist by Harry, and he was hit hard on the face, with such force that he staggered.Harry also exhausted all his strength, the two slammed into the wall together, and then rolled to the ground.

"You killed my parents!"

"You devil!"

"traitor!"

Harry screamed heart-piercingly, and his fists landed on Sirius' body one after another.Sirius seemed to be stunned, and the magic wand in his hand fell to the ground at some point.

He didn't resist either, and let Harry's fist land on him.

"Enough, Harry!"

"Kill him, Harry!"

Hermione and Ron yelled loudly, but Harry showed no sign of stopping.Takes Harry's arm, but it's about to break free.

"Come and hold Harry with me! He should be given to Auror!" Hermione shouted to Ron.

"Kill him! Kill him!" Ron still yelled self-consciously, grabbing Scabbers tightly with both hands, even though his fingers were bitten bloody, he didn't let go.

"Damn it! Let go of that stupid mouse and hold Harry!" Hermione tried her best to pull Harry away from Sirius, but that was all she could do.Harry let out a low growl like a beast, struggling constantly, Hermione couldn't control it at all.

Perhaps startled by Harry's appearance, Ron finally stretched out his right hand to grab one of Harry's arms, but still held Scabbers with his left hand.

But obviously, this still couldn't hold Harry.

"Two hands! Damn it, two hands!"

An angry Hermione stopped Ron and finally let go of her left hand.And Banban, who looked like he had died, suddenly stepped forward with four legs, and in the blink of an eye, he rushed into the darkness.

"No!"

"What did you do! What did you do!"

Sirius wailed in despair, he struggled to get up from the ground, waving his hands wildly in the air.

"All petrochemical!"

Suddenly, a spell pierced through the wall and hit the darkness, accompanied by a "bang", like a stone hitting the wall.

"crunch..."

The broken wooden door was pushed open from the outside, and Lupine walked in with his wand in hand.

Harry seemed to have recovered a bit, and shouted, "Professor Lupine! He's Sirius! Catch him!"

Lupine looked at the three of Harry and then at Sirius who was standing aside.

"Except your weapons!"

"The wand is flying!"

The wand in Hermione's hand came out, and the two wands that were thrown on the ground by Harry and the one that Hermione sent flying also flew up, and were caught in Lupine's hands.

"You believe it? Remus."

When Sirius' hoarse voice sounded, he felt a little relieved.

"It's not enough, Sirius." Lupine pointed at several people with his wand, quietly moved into the darkness, and picked up Scabbers who was under the petrification spell.

"Hahaha...it's him, that's him!" Sirius laughed wildly.

"This doesn't fully explain..." Lupine looked at Banban in his hand and asked in confusion.

Suddenly, his eyes widened.

"You...you...you changed! You didn't tell me!"

He saw Sirius' slightly lowered head, hugged him, and patted him on the back with his right hand.

"Why didn't you tell me! Why didn't you tell me!" Lupine's voice was full of pain and regret.

"Hahaha...ahem...I deliberately didn't tell anyone! I didn't tell anyone!"

Sirius' tears hit Lupine's shoulders, venting wantonly, but there was no sound of crying.

The three of Hermione looked at the two of them embracing and weeping as if they had been petrified. At a certain moment, Hermione suddenly let go of Harry's arm, pointed at Lupine and shouted, "You...you and he……"

"I didn't tell anyone! I've been hiding it for you!"

"Calm down, Hermione," Lupine said, but Hermione didn't listen to him at all.

"I trust you so much! Harry trusts you so much! But..."

"You're actually friends with him!" Harry suddenly shouted, and Ron, who finally got up, also shouted, "You helped him sneak into the castle!"

"Accomplice! Accomplice!"

"Calm down, I didn't!" Lupine yelled, startling the three of them with a sudden increase in his voice.

After calming down a bit, he said, "I didn't help Sirius sneak into the castle. I don't want Harry to suffer any harm."

"Before this moment, I didn't regard Sirius as a friend, you guys misunderstood..." He said, taking a step forward.

"Don't come here! Werewolves!"

Lupine's second step suddenly stopped in the air, with a look of difficulty on his face: "You... got it? Hermione?"

Hermione nodded: "Since I finished the homework assigned by Snape..."

"You're the smartest witch I've ever met," Lupine sighed. "That's his purpose, he wants someone to notice..."

"But it seems that only you guessed it..."

"No." Hermione shook her head, but said nothing.

"I won't hurt you, including Sirius, I won't hurt you." Lupine walked slowly to several people again, and handed three wands over, "Take it, and return the wands to you, it's enough Proved."

"But, how could he have sneaked into the castle without you?" Harry gave Sirius a hard look.

"I don't know, but I didn't help him."

Harry was about to speak when Hermione suddenly asked, "How do you know we're here?"

Lupine looked at Hermione appreciatively, and took an old parchment from inside his robes.

"Remember this?"

"The Marauder's Map!" Harry wondered, "You know how to use it?"

"Of course I will use it." Lupine was a little impatient, "I participated in his production, I am the moon face..."

"But……"

Lupine cut Harry off with a sharp wave of his hand.

"The point is, I saw people on the map that shouldn't appear!" Lupine raised his voice suddenly, and then slowly calmed down, "Today is the day that Hagrid's Hippogriff was executed. I think you will go to comfort him..."

"I saw you walking across the lawn and into Hagrid's hut. About 10 minutes later, when you left, there was someone else beside you..."

"Who is it?" Ron asked suddenly.

"I couldn't believe my eyes at the time. I thought the map was broken. After all, it has been made for so many years. How could he be with you?" Lupine said to himself.

"Later, I saw another person, he moved towards you quickly, and then collided with you, dragging the two of you into the Whomping Willow..."

"One! It's one!" Ron was annoyed.

"No, there are two." Lupine shook his head, and took out the petrified Scabbers, "It's not a mouse."

"Of course he's not a mouse!" Sirius grinned. "He's a wizard!"

"Animagus! He's Peter Pettigrew!"
