"Yes, yes, everything can be explained in this way." Phineas in the photo frame also showed a happy expression, "It must be through this newspaper that Blake discovered the trace of Peter Pettigrew, That's why he risked his escape from Azkaban. He wanted to avenge James Potter by killing Peter Pettigrew. I knew my great-grandson must be innocent."

"But it's all just speculation, isn't it?" Dumbledore reminded him calmly.

"Yes, but it's easy to verify, isn't it?" Phineas said happily.

"Of course." Ye Ting nodded lightly, "We can ask Professor Lupin. If my guess is correct, I believe that Professor Lupin will be very happy to tell us the truth, after all, he doesn't want to see it for many years. Your friend has been wronged all the time."

According to Ye Ting's prompt, Dumbledore quickly discovered something.

Dumbledore learned from Ron that the rat in the Daily Prophet's photo was his pet, Scabbers, but according to Ron, his rat had disappeared a few days ago, and his bed With some blood and a few cat hairs, he is now tracking down Scabbers' culprit through cat hair.

In addition, Dumbledore also discovered a fatal fact - Scabbers has been with the Weasleys for twelve years, and since last summer vacation seems to be sick, Ron also bought some for Scabbers in Diagon Alley Rat potion.You know, the average rat doesn't live for twelve years, and when it starts to languish, it's after the news of Blake's escape.

On the other hand, Professor Lupin also got good news - at least for Phineas - Lupin suddenly showed sadness after hearing Ye Ting's conjecture and seeing the newspaper. His expression looked like he almost burst into tears, and then he confessed a secret that had been years in front of Ye Ting and Dumbledore.

"I was very young when I was bitten by a werewolf. My parents tried everything, but it didn't help at the time. The potion that Professor Snape gave me was only recently discovered. You know, this kind of The medicine made me safe. However, before the discovery of the potion of wolf poison, I turned into a full-fledged wolf once a month. I could never have come to Hogwarts, and no other parents would have been willing to let me My own child touches me."

"But then Dumbledore became headmaster, and he provided me with defenses," Lupin sighed and gave Dumbledore a grateful look, "Hogwarts planted a beating tree for me. Willow, another secret passage under the tree to the Shrieking Shack, where I go to shapeshift every month."

"Being a werewolf was very painful. I was away from people when I was about to bite, so I bit myself and grabbed myself. But then, aside from being out of shape, I was happier than ever. The first time I had friends, Three good friends. Sirius Black, Peter Pettigrew, and of course James Potter."

Chapter 0157 Black's truth (in)

"Then, it's impossible for my three friends not to notice that I go missing once a month. I make up all kinds of stories, and I'm especially worried that they will ignore me once they find out that I'm a werewolf. But of course, Ye Ting, they just Like you, got the truth and they didn't ignore me at all. Instead, they did something for me that not only allowed me to endure the pain of being out of shape, but made it the happiest time of my life. They learned the Animagus."

"They couldn't keep me company in human form, so they kept me company in animal form, and werewolves were only a danger to people. They sneaked out of the castle every month in invisibility cloaks. Peter turned into a rat so he could get to Under the battering willow branches to press the knots that make the tree still. Then they slid down the tunnel to find me. Under their influence, I was less dangerous. My body was still a wolf, but with When they were together, my mind was less wolf-like."

"Of course, sometimes I feel ashamed and feel that I have betrayed Dumbledore's trust. When none of the other principals would accept me, he accepted, and he had no idea that I had broken the code, which he did for me. and the safety of others. He never knew that I led three classmates to learn animagus illegally. Every time we sat down to plan our adventure for the next month, I kept trying to forget this negative Guilt, and I haven't changed..."

Lupin's face rose, and there was self-loathing in his voice.

"I've been battling myself for a year, undecided whether to tell Dumbledore: Sirius is an Animagus of a black dog. But I didn't say it. Why? Because I'm too cowardly. Telling him means I betrayed his trust in my school days, it means admitting that I have led others with me, and for me. His trust is extremely important. When I was a child, he accepted me In school, I hit a wall everywhere as an adult, and he offered me a job because I was a werewolf. I convinced myself that Sirius was using the evil he learned from Voldemort It had nothing to do with him being an Animagus when he got into the school, so in a sense Snape was always right about me."

"Can you forgive me, Professor?" At the end, he looked at Dumbledore with tears in his eyes.

This man who has always been strong, actually burst into tears.

"Oh, of course," Dumbledore gave him a soft smile, as if looking at a young student rather than his Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, "I think they're all amazing to be able to help A friend did this. I think it's a special achievement, and it's not easy to do it without me knowing."

Remus Lupin did a good job of finding Black and Peter.Not only did he tell a lot of truths, but he also took out a sharp tool to find them - the Marauder's Map.

The Marauders Map is a magical map the Marauders made together when they were at Hogwarts, and the cover reads "Moonface, Wormtail, Bigfoot, and Prongs for Magical Pranksters. The gentlemen who have helped are proud to present - Marauder's Map.".

It shows all the information of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, not only showing users every classroom, corridor and corner in the castle, but also every inch of land on the school grounds, as well as the hidden secret passages, The positions of all people are also indicated by dots on it.

The map also correctly identified everyone, regardless of whether the person was an Animagus, took a potion, or used an invisibility cloak.Even the ghosts of Hogwarts appear on the map.

The map was confiscated by Filch when the Marauders were in seventh grade, and Fred and George Weasley "stealed" the map from Filch's office in first grade. The map was for the twins. Mischief helped a lot, and they remembered the secret passages in Hogwarts.

They later gave Harry the map so he could travel to Hogsmeade on weekends without permission.

Later, Lupin discovered that Harry had the map and confiscated it.

"This is our work back then." Lupin explained, introducing this kind of prop in front of his headmaster Dumbledore, his expression was very embarrassed, "After we were all deformed, we quickly left the tip. called the shack and wandering around the school grounds and the village at night. I don't think there are any students at Hogwarts who know the Hogwarts grounds and Hogsmeade village as well as we do, so we drew this job Map and signed our pseudonyms. I'm Moonface, Sirius is Bigfoot, Peter is Wormtail, and James is Prong."

"The moon's face represents a werewolf, the big feet are black dogs, the worm's tail is a mouse, and the prongs are a stag. It's really an interesting metaphor." After a careful study of the map, Ye Ting came to this conclusion, "Making The method of the map is very clever. It does not operate through ordinary tracking magic at all, but is based on the manufacturer's detailed understanding of the land depicted on the map. In this way, the magic of hiding traces and blocking tracking is lost in front of this map. After all, no amount of anti-tracking magic can block the entire land."

Lupin tapped his wand on the Marauder's map.

"I solemnly swear that I have done nothing good!"

Immediately, thin lines of ink like cobwebs began to appear from where the wand had just touched.The lines meet and cross each other, extending to every corner of the parchment.

This map depicts Hogwarts Castle and the grounds in every detail.But what's really worth noting are the tiny dots of ink that move along the map, each marked in tiny letters with a name, and if Blake and Peter were still at Hogwarts, their name too will appear above.

Therefore, monitoring this marauder map at all times has become a new task for the investigation team.

Soon, they discovered that Blake's name appeared near the Forbidden Forest, and it was estimated that he had been hiding in the Forbidden Forest; and Peter Pettigrew's name appeared at the location of the Beating Willow for a short time at some point, but soon just disappeared.

It seems that after escaping Ron, he has been hiding in the secret passage under the beating willow, and the screaming shack at the other end of the secret passage - since it is not within the range of Hogwarts, it does not appear on the map his name.

Chapter 0158 Black's truth (below)

After discovering the target, Dumbledore immediately called the professors to prepare for the arrest of Peter Pettigrew and Sirius Black. Before everything was figured out, Black must be controlled.

Severus Snape volunteered to catch Black, and he did have a big feud with the marauders, and among them, James Potter and Black were the ones he hated the most.

So, Ye Ting and Snape were responsible for arresting Black, while Dumbledore personally took Professor Flitwick and Professor McGonagall to the secret passage of Ren Liu to capture Peter Pettigrew, which was indeed a reasonable arrangement: Lin, Ye Ting and Snape are all too familiar, they often go there to collect magic materials.As a dwarf, Professor Flitwick is also more suitable for fighting in the narrow secret passage, not to mention that Professor McGonagall's Animagus is a cat, whether it is to drill into a tree hole with a short stature to open it up for others The secret way or Animagus, the rat who captured Peter, is the most suitable candidate.

In less than half an hour, a black dog and a mouse appeared in the principal's room, and everyone surrounded them.Dumbledore also brought in Harry Potter and Ron Weasley, who he believed also had a right to know the truth.

"Isn't this my Scabbers?" Ron looked at the rat struggling on the ground and looked at Dumbledore pleadingly. "What are you going to do to Scabbers? You don't want to hurt him, okay?"

"Oh, of course, we'll give him back to you." Ye Ting gave Ron a mocking look, "If he didn't turn into some weird guy after we used the visible magic on him."

Dumbledore pointed his wand at the mouse, which glowed blue and white.

After a while, Scabbers hung in the air, its little black body twisting wildly.

Immediately afterwards, the rat fell off and fell to the floor.Another dazzling flash, and then, it's like a quick shot of a tree growing.A head appeared on the ground; limbs stretched out; after a while, a man stood where Scabbers had been, wringing his hands cringingly.

Seeing this scene, Ron was stunned. It was difficult for him to accept that his pet was a wizard.

The man was short, not much taller than Harry and Ron.His thin pale hair was disheveled, and there was a chunk of baldness on the top of his head.He looks like an obese person who has lost a lot of weight in a short period of time.His skin was filthy, almost mottled, and his pointy nose and small watery eyes had the characteristic of a mouse.He looked at everyone, breathing quickly and feebly.

"Oh, hello, Peter," said Lupin cheerfully, as if there were a lot of rats around him who became old schoolmates, "long time no see."

"Lu, Lupin, Deng, Dumbledore," Peter Pettigrew's voice was also high-pitched.His eyes quickly looked towards the door again. "And professors, professors..."
