Chapter 145 Lupine's Friends
"It's probably the two brothers of the Weasley family who saw that Harry couldn't go to Hogsmeade this year, so they gave him this map."

Lupine guessed why.

As he spoke, he stood up from the chair, put on his coat, and was about to go out.

Sherlock stared at the Marauder's Map and said thoughtfully.

"Isn't this map able to see the movement trajectories of everyone in Hogwarts? Maybe we can use this to find Black."

Lupine shook his head.

"Hogwarts is very big, and there is a lot of information on this map. Let alone whether we can find Black on the map the first time he sneaks into Hogwarts, who in the school can always have Time to stare at this map?"

What he said made sense, but Sherlock always felt that there must be other reasons why he rejected the proposal, but he didn't go into it, nodded, and walked out of the castle with Lupine.

The moon had risen at this time, hanging in the sky, exuding a bright white brilliance. Lupine's spirit had not changed much, but his face looked extremely pale under the moonlight.

Looking at his changes, Sherlock asked suspiciously.

"Before transforming, didn't you have other feelings?"

Apart from his excessive paleness, Lupine's emotional and mental performance was quite normal, he explained.

"The closer the transformation time is, the more exhausted my body will feel. Physical fatigue will prevent many high-level spells from being used, or spells cannot be cast for a long time."

This Sherlock is understandable.

To be precise, wizards in this world do not have a blue bar. The magic power in a wizard's body is more like representing the strength of magic. The stronger the magic power, the stronger the magic used, rather than a consumable energy.

If you insist on assigning a blue bar feature to an attribute, it is more like physical strength.

Casting spells for a long time will make the wizard exhausted and his physical strength will drop quickly. Students basically have no restrictions when practicing spells. They can continue practicing after a short rest when they feel tired.

In theory, as long as a wizard has enough physical fitness, he can cast unlimited spells.

This is also the reason why Sherlock has been relentlessly getting up to exercise every morning. His floating wand casting system is very exhausting.

Two hundred and one magic wands were cast together, and after using it three times, his body would be terribly tired, and he could barely use it the fourth time, but he would have to lie on the ground exhausted after the fifth time.

This is still the effect after the spell has been reduced.

On the whole, in the case of regular casting, with Sherlock's physique, he can already cast between [-] and [-] spells continuously, and his body will be hollowed out.

Hogwarts students whose bodies are still developing and who don't usually pay attention to exercise will get tired after casting about [-] spells normally, and feel physically tired after [-] spells.

But with the intensity of Hogwarts teaching, it is rare for students to practice a hundred spells a day, so learning magic is equivalent to no limit for them.

Moreover, for a duel between normal wizards, usually ten spells will determine the winner. It is impossible for two people to shoot two or three hundred spells at each other in a row, and the result has not yet been decided.

So in this world, there is no such thing as a blue bar. As long as it can be used, you can cast the spell at will.

Except for Sherlock, who can release two hundred spells at a time.

Sherlock has been studying the reasonable combination of the number of magic wands. When facing the straw man last time, two hundred shots of the Patronus Charm were obviously too wasteful. Next, the same effect can be achieved.

The rain of two hundred laser beams flew out all over the sky, which seemed to have a strong deterrent effect, but it consumed Sherlock's staying power.

Lupine took Sherlock to the Whomping Willow next to the Forbidden Forest. The willow tree was manic and aggressive, and there was no way for normal people to get close to it.

When he was still more than ten meters away from the willow tree, Lupine waved his wand at a small stone under him.

The stone suddenly turned into a squeaking mouse, running fast, and rushed to the trunk of the Whomping Willow.

It seemed to touch a knot in the trunk of the willow tree, and the violent magic willow tree stopped still.

Lupine led Sherlock to find a tunnel entrance next to the canopy, and the two climbed in together.

"This Whomping Willow was specially planted by Dumbledore when I entered school, and the secret path here was specially prepared for me by him. When I was in school, every time it was time for transformation, he would Let Madam Pomfrey, the school doctor, take me here, and let me go from this secret passage to the Shrieking Shack in Hogsmeade, where I can spend my time as a werewolf, so as not to hurt anyone else."

Lupine told Sherlock about his past experiences.

Sherlock can clearly hear that his words can be a little emotional, and a little like he wants to hide, but he can't hide his loneliness.

He didn't ask much about this, everyone has their own little secrets, even himself is no exception.

They walked the passage for about half an hour, and finally came to a dirty and dilapidated shack.

This is the village of Hogsmeade, or the famous haunted house in the British wizarding world - the screaming shack.

Looking at this room, Sherlock thought of the time when the name of the haunted house of the Shrieking Shack was spread, and probably guessed something.

"It's called a haunted house because someone used to hear strange noises in the middle of the night. That's the news from your transformation here when you were a student, right?"

Lupine nodded.

"Yes, in fact, the spread of rumors is also the effect of Professor Dumbledore's deliberate efforts to fuel the flames, so that no one will venture into this place when I transform and be accidentally injured by me."

"But actually it was close once?" Sherlock blinked.

Lupine looked at him in surprise.

"You, you know these things?"

"Snape told me." Sherlock sighed, "I asked him why he hated you so much, and he told me it was because when you were transforming, your friend tricked him into it, and he was almost transformed If you become a werewolf, you will be killed."

Lupine fell silent, his expression was bleak, as if recalling some bad memory.

"At that time, we did go too far because of our ignorance, especially Sirius."

Sherlock was taken aback when he heard the familiar name suddenly, and then he reacted immediately.

"Who are you talking about!"

Lupine seemed to have slipped his mouth by accident, but he didn't really care about letting Sherlock know about it, but just when he was about to open his mouth, his face suddenly became ferocious!
"Wait, wait, let me tell you, Sherlock"

Sherlock also noticed that Lupine was about to transform into a harbinger. He stepped back a few steps to ensure that he had enough casting distance after the accident, and at the same time observed Lupine's performance when transforming into a werewolf.

There was a growl of pain, and Lupine's head lengthened and his body lengthened.

His shoulders were arched, his face and hands were hairy, his fingers curled into claws.

An upright werewolf image appeared in front of Sherlock. Compared with ordinary wolves, animal-shaped werewolves have a shorter snout and smaller pupils, making them look closer to humans, but the combination of human form and wolf appearance Makes the werewolf look incredibly ugly.

After turning into a werewolf, Lupine stared at Sherlock with those beast eyes, but there was no tyranny or cruelty in it, only peace.

Apparently, this was the effect of the chamaejasme potion he drank in advance.

Studying werewolf transformation was the main purpose of Sherlock and Lupine coming together, but now he didn't have this thought, but stared into Lupin's eyes and asked.

"You said your school friend was Sirius Black?"

Lupine, who was covered in gray and black hair all over his body, motioned for Sherlock to sit down and said that none of them paid attention to the dusty floor of the Shrieking Shack, and sat directly on the ground.

"I got the news that you joined the Order of the Phoenix last year, Sherlock." Lupine's voice in the werewolf state was rough and low, but still with his unique gentleness, "So some things even if I don't I'll tell you, and you'll know later."

Sherlock didn't make a sound, he listened quietly to Lupine's story about his past.

"Dumbledore is a benevolent principal. After knowing that I was a werewolf, he still approved me to study at Hogwarts. Not only did I learn magic here, but I also made several good friends. .”

"I was always afraid that if they found out that I was a werewolf, they would alienate me because of it, but later they discovered my secret through clues."

"But the identity of werewolves did not become an obstacle to our friendship. They were still willing to get along with me. Later, they even learned the difficult transformation technique for me, so that I would not be allowed to transform here alone."

Hearing this, Sherlock of course guessed who Lupine's friends in school were.

"So Sirius Black, James Potter, they're all your friends?"

"How did you know there was James?" Lupine asked in surprise.

"Mr. Weasley found me before the start of school and told me how Black betrayed Harry's father. I know they were good friends before, and since you have Black among your friends, there will naturally be Harry." Leigh's father."

Lupine nodded in acknowledgment, pain in his eyes.

"Sirius, James, and Pettigrew, they are all my friends."

"Peter Pettigrew?"

It was a familiar name again, not only Mr. Weasley mentioned it to him in the Leaky Cauldron, Sherlock always felt like he had seen or heard this name by accident somewhere, but he couldn't think of it. stand up.

"Yes, Peter Pettigrew, we were a group at the time, but you should know the rest of the story. Black betrayed James, causing him and Lily to be killed. Afterwards, Peter wanted to stop Black for revenge, and was also killed by Black. Only one finger is left after being blown up with the magic spell!"
