Chapter 147 The True Betrayer

Sherlock turned his head to look at Lupine with a vigilant face, and didn't make a sound immediately.

Because Lupine raised a hairy finger at him, signaling him not to speak for a while.

The two wolf ears on his head were shaking slightly, as if sensing a sound in some direction.

Then he cautiously waved at Sherlock, motioning him to follow him carefully.

The movements of the two of them began to become slight, and they tiptoed towards the left rear. After walking for about a dozen steps, Sherlock also heard a slight snoring sound.

Lupine stopped in his tracks, and Sherlock also remained motionless. They looked towards the place where the snoring sounded, and there was a big sleeping black dog lying on its stomach!
Both of them held their breath, looked at each other, and saw affirmation in each other's eyes.

This black dog is Sirius Black!
The first time Sherlock saw Black, he gently took out a cloth bag from his pocket, then grabbed it in, took out five or six magic wands and threw them around, and those magic wands were suspended in mid-air.

Lupine was stunned at Sherlock's actions at this moment. If it wasn't at a critical moment, he would have thought that Sherlock was showing off his wealth to him.

Sherlock didn't care whether he understood or not, and continued to throw his wand.

The magic wand that was thrown out at the beginning has been scattered quietly, and the farthest control distance for controlling magic is about ten meters.

And the distance between them and Black was about ten meters. Dozens of magic wands had quietly flew directly above him, and all the tips of the wands were aimed at him.

At this moment, Blake, who was sleeping soundly, moved his dog ears vigilantly. He sniffed his nose, and suddenly opened his eyes!
Sherlock and Lupine, just met his eyes!
At the very first moment, Blake sensed that something was wrong, and realized that this was definitely not a chance encounter, and the target of the man and wolf on the opposite side was himself!
There was a look of panic in his eyes, he got up from the ground at an extremely fast speed, his four legs suddenly exerted strength, and he wanted to flee to the depths of the Forbidden Forest!

Lupine also roared at the same time, and ran towards Black on all fours!

Sherlock didn't make any movements, but the dozens of wands that had been suspended in mid-air and surrounded Black before waved them together regularly.

In all directions, countless bushes suddenly disappeared, and hundreds of vines slid on the ground like swimming snakes, completely surrounding Black who hadn't run a few meters away!
Finally, under Blake's desperate eyes, Fujiman directly wrapped around his body, wrapping everything about him, leaving only a huge dog's head!

Seeing that Black was caught by Sherlock, Lupine didn't stop his forward pace. He directly bumped into Black's dog face head-on, and sprayed him with blood!

The sun in the east has slowly risen, and the morning glow covers half of the sky, but none of the people, wolves and dogs present are in the mood to appreciate the brilliance.

As the moon set, the werewolf features on Lupin's body were gradually fading, and he returned to a human face. That embarrassed face was extremely pale, but the hatred in his eyes did not disappear even a little bit!
Lupine stared at Black's bloody dog ​​face.

"Change back for me!"

Sherlock relaxed the vines on Black's body in a timely manner, and the black dog also turned into a man with black hair, dark gray eyes, tall but extremely thin.

Seeing Black's face, Lupine couldn't hold back, he swung his fist again, and hit Black hard on the face!
"You killed James and Lily!"

Blake's mouth and nose were bleeding, he replied hoarsely.

"I don't deny that."

"Peter was blown up by your spell, leaving only one finger!"

Lupine didn't throw any more punches, the venting of the first punch made him calm again, but his questioning still didn't end.

"No! Peter is not dead!"

When asked here, Blake suddenly became emotional, and he struggled hard.

"I don't deny that I killed James and the others! But that traitor is not me! Listen to me Lupine"

However, before he could finish his sentence, Sherlock tightened the vines on him.

"If you have anything to say, you should wait to tell the dementors, or they may not listen to your explanation at all, and just give you a kiss."

Sherlock knows the reason why the villain dies because of talking too much, and he doesn't want things to turn around in the end.

Seeing that his actions did not seem to be fake, but that he really wanted to give himself to the dementors, Black was completely anxious!

"I didn't lie! If I was really that traitor and really wanted to kill Harry, I had the chance twice before, but I didn't have a hand! I haven't hurt anyone since I ran out of Azkaban." Anyone! James' death is related to me, I am guilty! But the person who betrayed him is really not me! When I was caught, I didn't resist and just wanted to punish myself for my crime!"

He said everything he wanted to say in a series, and Sherlock stopped his pace.

Lupine met his eyes, Sherlock said hesitantly.

"Why don't you just listen to what he has to say?"

Lupine also had the same meaning. From what Black said just now, he could hear that there might be something hidden about what happened at that time.

Sherlock didn't let Black loose, but tied him even tighter.

They stood condescendingly, looking at Black who was tied up and lying on the ground, Lupine said coldly.

"We can give you a chance to explain."

Black obviously cherishes this opportunity extremely, he knows very well that if he is handed over to the dementors, there is almost a 90.00% chance that he will be kissed and his soul will be sucked away.

He is not afraid of death, what he is afraid of is that after his death, no one will know that Peter is the traitor!

"After the prophecy about Voldemort's defeat spread, James already had the idea of ​​hiding." Black tried his best to calm his shortness of breath, and told Lupine and Sherlock, "He started with the Fidelity Curse. The choice of the secret keeper, really want me to be."

"But at that time, I was smart and thought that I could let him declare that the secret keeper was me, but in fact, I found Pettigrew Peter, that bastard, and let him be the real secret keeper. In this way, Voldemort can put all his goals on me, and will not know who the real secret keeper is."

"But what I didn't expect was that what I thought was a brilliant scheme killed James and Lily! Peter is the traitor! After he became the secret-keeper, he immediately told his master the secret!"

"Voldemort later killed James and Lily! After I learned of this, I went mad to seek revenge on Peter. I found him and cornered him to a corner where he couldn't escape. He shouted in front of a street person Said I betrayed Potter! Then used a powerful explosive spell!"

"He blew up the whole street of Muggles, leaving only his finger on the ground!"

"I thought he was dead, so I didn't resist, accepted the arrest of the Ministry of Magic, and wanted to spend the rest of my life in Azkaban to punish my mistakes. But it was only last year that I discovered that Peter was not dead at all! He's still alive, and he's always been by Harry's side!"

"That's why I escaped from prison. I must kill Peter! I must kill him with my own hands!"

Black's hatred yelled as if it was about to pop out of his throat.

Sherlock frowned and listened to all his narration, he just asked a question.

"What is Peter's Animagus form?"

"A mouse!" Blake said through gritted teeth. "It was probably because of this that he escaped from my nose at the time, and turned me around twice in a row!"

Hearing this, Sherlock felt that Black was not lying.

Because in his memory, the deepest impression of this semester in the original book is that the real villain turned into a mouse and slipped away.

At this time, Lupine already believed Black's words a little bit.

They were playmates when they were young, so they naturally knew Black's character. He had always been incredulous that Black would betray James, and now everything became reasonable through his explanation.

But Sherlock didn't just let Black out as a good person, he asked Black's eyes.

"How did you know Peter wasn't dead in prison?"

"Newspaper! When Fudge came to Azkaban for inspection, he brought a newspaper in! That newspaper is still on me, you can take it out of my pocket!"

After hearing what he said, Lupine walked up to him, reached out and began to rummage in the pocket of his robe, and finally found a crumpled copy of the Daily Prophet.

This was the newspaper last summer, and the front page on it was the news that Arthur Weasley had won the prophet's annual first prize, and his family was traveling in Egypt with the bonus.

The group photo of the Weasley family in Egypt took up half of the newspaper, and the mouse on Ron's shoulder was very conspicuous.

"Look at that mouse's forelimb! He's also missing a middle finger. Peter's Explosive Curse just blew up his own finger!"

Following Black's reminder, Lupine and Sherlock also noticed that Mouse Scabbers' front paw was missing a finger!

Lupine murmured too.

"Yes, that's right, this mouse does look exactly like Peter's Animagus!"

By now, they had believed most of what Black said, but Sherlock still felt unsafe.

He fumbled in his pocket and took out a small bottle of potion.

"Do you dare to say that what you said is the truth after drinking Veritaserum?"

Blake said without hesitation.

"no problem!"

Lupine looked at Sherlock in surprise. Veritaserum was a contraband in the wizarding world. Except for the Ministry of Magic and a small number of qualified potion masters, ordinary people could not get this kind of potion at all.

Sherlock walked up to Black, raised the potion in his hand, Sirius opened his mouth without the slightest hesitation, and drank all the liquid in the potion into his stomach.

Afterwards, both Lupine and Black were waiting for the veritaserum to take effect. However, not only did Black not show the slightest fascination, but the wound on his face that was injured by Lupine's fist was rapidly healing.

Both of them looked at Sherlock in shock, and Sherlock shrugged at them.

"Sorry, I don't have the ability to get Veritaserum, so what I gave you just now is just a bottle of healing potion. If you dare not drink it, then I will take you to find a dementor. If you dare to drink it , it means that what you said is true, and this bottle of medicine can just help you."

When he was speaking, he had already lifted the Transfiguration on Black, allowing him to move freely.

Lupine held out a hand to Sirius on the ground.

"So at that time you suspected that the spy among us was actually me, so you didn't tell me about the change of plan later?"

Sirius stretched out his hand and held it with Lupine, and was pulled by him to stand up from the ground.

"Forgive me, Lupine, it never occurred to me that cowardly Peter would betray us."

"It's okay, my old friend. I have misunderstood you all these years, and we are even."

They embraced together, like a pair of old friends reunited after a long absence.

Looking at their appearance, Sherlock couldn't help reminding from the side.

"I think things like reminiscence and sensationalism can come later, and the most important question has not been asked clearly."

Only then did Sirius separate from Lupine. He looked at Sherlock and extended his hand to him.

"We've met many times, but I still don't know your name."

Sherlock reached out to shake his hand.

"Sherlock Forrest, the current Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts, I also want to thank you for helping me and Silke before."

They simply got to know each other, and then began to talk about business.

"Since the real traitor is Peter, and he has been hiding at the Weasleys' house as their pet, he must have known about your escape from prison to seek revenge on him." Sherlock said calmly.

As soon as Peter's name was mentioned, Sirius couldn't help clenching his teeth.

"Of course he knew that I was looking for him. I sneaked into the Gryffindor lounge twice. The first time I didn't find him there. The second time I went, he had already escaped from the boy's side by pretending to be dead." !"

Sherlock also knows something about Ron's mouse, Scabbers.

"A few days ago I met Harry and Ron and their friends. Hermione was crying secretly in the classroom alone, saying that her cat ate Ron's pet mouse, and they had a conflict over this."

"No, no! That girl's cat is the smartest cat I've ever seen. I gained its trust and let it help catch Peter out, but Peter pretended to be dead for the second time and tried to escape again!"
